Chapter 99: Lei, the man who showed off his skills to the point of making your scalp tingle
In the "Glorious City", there is a law enforcement agency that makes everyone shudder, and that is the "Law Enforcement Team" of the Public Security Department.
This group of white-robed wizards symbolizes absolute justice and ruthlessness.
They will arrest anyone who causes trouble in the city according to the laws of the city, and detain, punish, or even kill them directly.
For example, killing people in the city is an extremely serious illegal act.
They are like emotionless machines. No matter who you are, whether you are a prince or a noble, a vicious thief, or a member of the five major families, they are no exception.
No one can resist the law enforcement team, if there is... it's a corpse.
When Master Kavo rebuilt the city, he gave them the right to execute first and report later.
The last thing the city's wasteland hunters wanted to see was these white-robed mages. Their appearance meant that nothing good was going to happen.
There has been such a big commotion now, a body with a crushed head is lying on the street, and two people are seriously injured... This is a very serious public security incident.
The parties involved are all quite powerful.
On one side is the eldest princess of the Omar Empire, on the other side is the royal family of Sid, and it seems that Bazel, one of the "Top Ten Legends", has also escaped.
However, those white-robed wizards seemed to have no intention of caring about the identities of the few people.
The leader took a look at the scene and said calmly: "Take away all the people involved!"
After hearing this order, everyone was silent. No one dared to resist or escape...
Because resisting law enforcement is a crime more serious than murder and the offender will be shot dead directly.
…
[Throat slitting] is a common assassin's killing move that is quick and fatal, and is also one of the most difficult injuries for surgeons to deal with.
Suffocation, bleeding, air embolism... will all cause the injured to die quickly.
Therefore, those who are infected often die before doctors can perform surgery.
For ordinary doctors, let alone having the opportunity to suture a throat wound on their own neck, even if they save people for their entire lives, they may not be able to successfully save a patient with such a fatal injury.
Ryan's surgery on the street was so showy that it made people's heads spin.
It is incredible to the layman, and the experts exclaim it is a miraculous skill.
Fortunately, because he had practiced many times in his "dream", he was able to blindly sew the wound on his neck with great skill. If it were someone else, they wouldn't even dare to think about it.
At the command, they began to arrest people.
Qi Ming, a member of the Cid royal family, and the black-robed wizard were put in magic-forbidden shackles, and the royal family did not dare to say a word. The same thing happened to the heavily armored guard who had attacked Ymir before. He voluntarily gave up his sword and was tied up.
But when it was Ryan's turn, these cold-faced law enforcers were in trouble.
They knew that the guy with a cut neck must be a participant in the incident, but... they hesitated.
At this moment, Ryan still did not stop stitching. Anyway, his life was no longer in danger, and the ferocious expression on his face disappeared, and he even had a hint of relief...
But this expression has a different meaning to outsiders.
With such a fatal wound, let alone stitching it up, who wouldn't be terrified and wait for death?
Performing surgery on the street is also a great show.
The needle and thread in his hand were still piercing his flesh, how could this guy be so nonchalant...
And what's with that vague look in your eyes as you watch the fun? You're actually stitching up your own fatal wound, so please be serious!
This was not because Ryan was being arrogant, but because he was very skilled in the operation. Since he couldn't see it with his eyes, he might as well watch other excitement.
And most importantly, the arteries were sutured with sutures, and although the wound on the neck looked scary, it was actually no longer fatal, so he could perform the surgery so calmly.
These law enforcement officers did not dare to pull him by force, for fear that if they did, he would be pulled into a human fountain and die on the spot.
It is true that they are law enforcers, but they have no right to kill people without reason.
The white-bearded wizard in the lead was quite knowledgeable, but it was the first time for him to see such a bold operation being performed in the street.
But if someone has committed a crime, we must go back and investigate.
He could only ask: "Even if it is against the law, you have the right to seek medical treatment in the 'Glorious City'. Do you need a doctor now?"
His trachea was cut and he is temporarily unable to speak.
But this does not hinder Xiu'er's expression.
Hearing this, Ryan pulled the sutured wound faster with both hands. The centipede-shaped suture was basically formed and the blood stopped flowing out.
He pulled his hand away and waved it slightly, indicating that he didn't need it.
Seeing that this guy was able to free his hands during the operation, the onlookers were terrified.
The white-bearded wizard's expression froze for a moment, and he continued, "Since you are injured, we will not use the torture instruments on you. Just follow us to the public security department!"
Ryan's neck was stiff, and he nodded slightly in obedience, as if he was cooperating with the arrest.
He was familiar with the laws of the city and knew that resisting arrest would result in immediate death, so he didn't dare to have any intention of doing so.
…
These magicians in the law enforcement team have dealt with countless bloodier battle scenes, but this time, seeing Lei performing surgery in the street was considered an eye-opener.
They didn't dare touch Ryan, so they rounded him up and took him away.
After walking a few steps, Ryan passed by Omar and his group not far away.
Ymir was wearing a golden mask, so it was impossible to see where her eyes were looking.
However, after thinking about it, Ryan still gave her a fist bump, and then crossed his hands.
This is the universal sign language of scavengers: help me, have a deal.
He knew that Ymir would definitely see it and understand its meaning.
As for whether they will help...that depends on whether their friendship is broken.
…
Actually, it’s a coincidence.
The reason why Ymir was able to arrive at the assassination scene before the law enforcement team was because she was in an upscale tavern three blocks away.
The scene goes back to one minute ago, "Black Rose Tavern".
Ymir is discussing city-building assistance with the Winster family, but the progress does not seem optimistic.
"Your Highness, my father has already discussed your proposal with the other four families... But unfortunately, even though our Winster family has tried hard to make it happen, the other families don't seem to agree..."
The young man in charge of the negotiations, dressed in a gorgeous suit, was August Winster, the eldest son of the Winster patriarch.
As a princess, Ymir would naturally not take part in such negotiations personally.
"No, Mr. August, your family may have some misunderstandings."
Hearing this, the minister accompanying him also spoke up: "Our princess chose to build a city one thousand kilometers away from the City of Glory. I don't think this will pose any threat to the existence of the City of Glory. Moreover, we don't need any manpower or resource support. We just want to get some necessary conveniences from your city, such as customs clearance of bulk materials..."
If they wanted to build a city west of the Alcoron Mountains, the fastest way was to buy materials in the City of Glory. For example, steel and other important materials for the Casting Machinery City. That was a very large amount, and it was impossible for them to remotely transfer them from the Omar Empire...
This is also the biggest reason why Ymir had to come forward to negotiate in person. This is the first and most critical step in building a city.
The status of the "Glorious City" is very special, and it is a neutral place. She was able to come in person to negotiate, which also showed her sincerity.
But obviously, these guys didn't appreciate it.
August said with regret : "Your Highness, it's not that our Winster family is unwilling to support you, but this is the rule of this city. Without the approval of the Five Clans Assembly, it is absolutely impossible to build a new large-scale mechanical city here..."
The negotiations reached a stalemate, and everyone could see that the five major families had no intention of allowing the city to be built.
To put it bluntly, these guys who feel that the emperor is far away and the sky is high have long been accustomed to a free life away from imperial power.
No one can do anything unless they give any face to the eldest princess who has been abandoned from the center of the power struggle.
Everyone on Omar's side knows that this is just rhetoric.
The other four companies said similar things, all of them finding various excuses to shirk responsibility.
Without the permission of the five major families, no chamber of commerce would dare to sell resources to them. The first step in building the city was stuck here.
At this point, after whetting your appetite, it’s time to throw in the real bait.
The eldest son of the Winster family looked at Ymir wearing the golden mask, raised a gentle smile on his face, and said meaningfully: "In fact, there are exceptions..."
But before he could finish his words, Ymir suddenly turned her head and looked out the window.
A gentle breeze blew by, and when I looked again, the beautiful figure had disappeared in the tavern.
Because she sensed a familiar aura of laws three blocks away.
