Chapter 100: Preparations before War (Please subscribe, please vote)
In the following days, the situation was almost the same as Roy had predicted.

The lower-class civilians, even freemen, artisans, and the working class were all very excited and were almost running around to tell each other.

Too many people died during the Grace Day disaster. Even if no one in your family was killed, every family has relatives or friends who have been killed.

They were naturally very excited to see the great pirate Gis being killed this time.

But those wealthy merchants and nobles remained silent, like the calm before the storm, foreshadowing even more terrible chaos.

Then, in silence, some nobles chose to leave, taking their families to live temporarily in other cities for a short period of time, avoiding the situation wherever possible.

Without a doubt, this is the wisest choice, whether there is unrest or not, just stay away from it.

But in reality, not many people can make this choice!
Even for those wealthy merchants, their money is tied up in their business, and they also have production tasks to complete. How can they just leave whenever they want?!

Therefore, most people's choice is to withdraw guards, strengthen vigilance, or hire more powerful mercenaries or detectives.

According to Ang's information, the current hiring price of mercenaries and detectives in Oakland City has at least tripled.

Especially those well-known second-level mercenaries, who were even robbed.

Some wealthy businessmen, unable to find mercenaries, actually set their sights on certain gangs, such as the Bloody Hand Gang, and accepted the mission.

To be honest, if you tell others that you hired gang members to help guard your house, you will be laughed at.

However, they did it anyway, and after it started, more and more such incidents happened.

This situation further exacerbated the tense atmosphere in the city!
Luo Yi actually planned to take everyone away first. If I can't afford to offend him, can't I just hide from him?
However, after careful consideration, he gave up the idea.

No matter how you try, the city of Auckland is still orderly and people can be cautious. If he really runs to the wilderness, he is afraid that he will be beaten up by countless people.

Once this group of people recognize him, they will definitely keep an eye on his whereabouts. He is like meat on the chopping board, he cannot escape!

But since you can't avoid it, just face it!

Luo Yi really wanted to know whether his current fighting power could compete with Chaofan.

What he wanted to know more was who dared to kill him?
When this thought came up, Luo Yi could no longer suppress it.

Of course, the preliminary preparations and arrangements must continue.

For example, he went to the Ancient Spirit Mage Tower and had an in-depth chat with Madam Linda.

If things get chaotic, there are still safe places in Auckland City. Roy thinks that the Mage Tower of the Philante School of Magic is one of them!
So, he wanted to entrust Lilia Leitninger and the two children of the Maruna family here.

Only when you have no worries can you act without restraint!
Furthermore, Luo Yi had previously ordered three sets of double-layer snake-scale armor, but because they were made on the spot, he had not yet picked them up.

Now, knowing that danger was about to come, Luo Yi naturally prepared to take it out.

However, the efficiency of classical alchemy has always been low, and so far, only two sets of double-layer snake scale armor have been produced.

So two pairs, Loy wore one himself and gave one to Oliveira.

They are the main combat force, so naturally they have to maximize their defense!
In addition, Roy also bought a magic pistol with the "armor-piercing" attribute from Gary Mills.

This pistol is also a revolver, with an enlarged magazine that can hold ten bullets, a longer barrel, and purple magic patterns attached to it. Every shot is like a dragon spewing out fire.

Therefore, this specially made magic pistol is also known as 'Rage'.

To be precise, it is actually a combination of magic machinery and classical alchemy. It has the advantages of a magic pistol and the added "armor-piercing" attribute.

Each time you activate a weapon, you have to spend 100 points of magic power, and the effect is that the bullets are more penetrating and have a longer range.

This was Gary Mills' main weapon. Before he obtained the gold and silver guns, he relied on this magic gun to conquer the world.

Of course, the reason why Roy spent a huge amount of money to buy it was more because this gun could use those special bullets.

Holy water bullet, silver water bullet, fire bullet, ice bullet, etc.

If these are used properly, they can play a big role!
In addition, he also bought a batch of magic potions, including those for healing, detoxification, and restoration of fighting spirit.

After the matter was settled, Roy and Oliveira walked out of the gate of the Mage Tower. They got on the carriage and left without looking back.

Mage Tower, sixth floor, by the window.

Mrs. Linda and Gary Mills just watched there quietly.

When the carriage was about to disappear from view and was blocked by other buildings, Gary Mills finally spoke:
"Can't we let them hide in the Mage Tower?"

Madam Linda slowly shook her head: "No, we in the Mage Tower have been warned long ago that we are not allowed to get involved in this chaos."

"Although I am a second-level potion master, I am only a second-level potion master. In this magic tower, my words do not count!"

After a pause, she raised her head again, nodded slightly, and said, "Besides, didn't you notice?"

"Luo Yi didn't even mention it, which means they know it in their hearts."

"This is the threshold they must cross. Once they cross it, few people in Oakland will dare to mess with them.

Only then will he be able to gain a firm foothold!"

Gary Mills' eyes flickered, and he asked again: "You can't get involved, so what about me?"

Mrs. Linda turned her head in surprise and asked, "No way, you've only been together for a few days, and you're willing to help him?"

"Come to think of it, I'm also curious. You actually sold your 'rage' to him. Didn't you say you wanted to keep it as a souvenir?"

Gary Mills did not turn around, as if he did not dare to look Mrs. Linda in the eye. But he still answered: "It is very difficult to find a gunsmith apprentice who is rich and willing to spend money!"

"Besides, he is extremely talented. To be precise, I think he is much better than me."

"If the Hawkeye School can really flourish, it will probably depend on him."

Mrs. Linda couldn't help but cover her mouth: "Isn't this comment a bit exaggerated?"

Gary Mills nodded, then shook his head and asked, "Just tell me, is it okay?"

Madam Linda hesitated for a moment before saying, "It may not be appropriate to attack directly, but I remember you still have long-range means, right?"

"If it's really necessary, you can use it! But you have to know when to stop."

"Understood!"

……

19 Lombard Street, first floor, training ground.

A mirror as tall as a person is placed against the wall, reflecting the entire layout of the training room.

This was specially arranged by Luo Yi so that during practice, he could see his movements most intuitively and then make corrections.

Of course, Luo Yi was not practicing at this time, but standing in front of the mirror, sorting out his equipment.

First he took off his outer clothes, leaving only his underwear, and then he put on a double layer of snake scale armor.

The cool snake skin against the skin had a very special and slippery feeling. Luo Yi couldn't help but twist his body. It took him a long time to adapt before he calmed down the strange feeling in his heart.

The surface of the snake scale armor is made of layers of snake scales, which have been processed using special techniques and have become the size of a baby's palm. It shines silver and is extremely flexible.

The space between the snake skin and the scales was covered with magic patterns, densely packed and layered, ultimately forming a six-layer magic array.

Luo Yi's mind moved, and magic power was infused into it. The layers of magic patterns lit up, and rays of light shone through the scales.

In front of Luo Yi, the magic of six-layer 'deflection force field' completely enveloped him, and no matter where he turned, it would follow him like a shadow.

The six-layer deflection force field can even block bullets from long-range magic sniper rifles.

Even if the shells explode at close range, most of the impact force can be alleviated, and the effect is absolutely remarkable.

Coupled with the double arrangement of snake scales, it can provide good defense against stabbing attacks.

The only shortcoming is probably the shock damage of heavy weapons.

However, one cannot expect perfection in everything. This is already a rare-level magic equipment and is extremely good.

Then, Loy put a gun bag around his waist, with a Colt revolver on the right and a magic revolver Fury on the left.

The bullets were still placed in the special magazine and put into the gun bag one by one.

The magic item he was stepping on was deerskin boots, which had the effect of making him feel light and agile.

However, after putting on all these equipment, it was no longer possible for Luo Yi to wear a slim-fitting gentleman's suit.

So, he simply picked a gray windbreaker and put it on.

He wore a top hat on his head and turned up the collar of his coat, covering most of his face, making him look somewhat mysterious.

As for the walking stick, he no longer likes to use it since Luo Yi's strength has improved and he has gained more confidence.

What's the point of such a young guy holding a cane?
Finally, he took the Dawn Rapier in his hand. The sword was unsheathed and shook slightly. Mach rings appeared from the sword body, spreading and diffusing.

At this moment, Luo Yi felt the tremendous power in his body, the strong heartbeat, the pure and quiet flow of fighting spirit, and the overactive magic power...

He just felt that he was terribly strong!
Turning his head slightly, he looked at Oliveira, who was wearing the same outfit, and suppressed a grin, saying, "Teacher, when do you say the enemy will arrive?"

"Now, I am really excited to try it!"

Oliveira tightened his belt, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "It should be very soon!"

Yes,

quickly!
Thus, time passed quickly and it was already three days later.

evening,

Dark clouds gathered, blocking out the last bit of sunlight. Just as everything was about to sink into complete darkness, a beautiful song rang out between heaven and earth.

There are no lyrics, but it is purely based on the melodious tune that touches the heart.

What responded to her was divine power. A pair of wings that covered the sky slowly spread out, as if they could cover half of the city.

In the dazzling holy light, a figure stood in the air holding a thorny wooden staff.

At this moment, even though Luo Yi was fully prepared, his hand holding the sword was shaking!

No one told him,

This time, the chaos was actually started by a fourth-level strongman!
