The first thing refugees do when they enter the town is to beg from house to house, and their voices are hoarse and hoarse, leaving compassion for those who hear their tragic stories.

Alice was no exception, and she ordered the students to give the refugees the extra money they wanted.

Renard immediately stepped forward to stop her, and shook his head at her solemnly: "If you can't help them get out of the predicament completely, then it's better not to help." ”

He turned his head to look at the refugees, and when he saw the bloodshot in their eyes and their near-collapsed consciousness, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Lei Ye suddenly remembered what a big corrupt official said in a certain TV series: Are disaster victims also human?

Of course, he was not a man of hard heart, and he said to Alice: "If you really want to help them, then inform your father, the Prince of Wales, and let him mobilize the forces of the whole province of Mandala for relief, which may be able to solve this problem for a while." ”

Alice groaned for a moment, then wrote down all the sights she saw and what she knew, deposited them in the magic messenger, and let them fly.

Renard watched the magic messenger quickly disappear into the air, and the worry in his heart eased a lot.

Then he said to Alice again, "We need to get out of here quickly, or we're going to make a big mess." ”

Judging by the current situation, the number of refugees who will come here in a few days is probably not small.

Countless hungry outcasts gather together, and as long as someone with a heart instigates the slightest, they will do extremely crazy things.

Alice knew what he was trying to say, and after one last look at the restrained refugees, she let out a silent sigh, hoping that things didn't go too badly.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and the group continued to Mandala Province, but did not pass through the provincial capital, but went south through the province of Blue Laurel, then through the province of Kumquat, and finally arrived in Phoenix.

Phoenix is a city on the border between the provinces of Kumquat and Constantinople, built between the mountains and mountains, it is both a city and a pass.

Renard has seen the bustling port of Montreal, the majestic Academy of Constantinople, and the majestic city of Willow.

However, when he saw Phoenix City built on top of the mountain, he still couldn't help but be shocked by the grandeur.

When everyone arrived, it was exactly ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was in the most perfect position in the southeast, and Phoenix City was backed by the golden sun, and the whole city seemed to exude golden light, showing a sense of magnificence.

Alice looked at the shock in Renard's eyes, and couldn't help but show a proud look: "Beautiful Phoenix, it is the pillar of the rise of Constantinople. ”

She looked at the city that seemed to be on the horizon: "The ancestors of the family of Constantine, whether they went on expeditions or triumphs, all passed through this city, it is the last line of defense to defend the national capital, and it is also a symbol of splendor and glory. ”

Alice's eyes were full of solemnity: "For hundreds of years, neither the demonic plague nor the alien invasion has really threatened the safety of this city. ”

Renard could feel her admiration for the city, as if she had admired Ultraman as a child.

"Let's go and take in the grandeur of the city. Alice smiled at Renard.

As soon as the words fell, a low lament suddenly reached everyone's ears: "Your Excellency Hades, the great god of the underworld, please have mercy on the souls of these devout believers and light their way to the realm of eternal night. ”

This sad sigh instantly caught Renard's attention, and he looked in the direction from which the voice came, only to see a strange procession coming out of Phoenix and heading towards them.

The men in that group were wrapped in black cloaks, with only their pale hands exposed, and the leader held a dim oil lamp, which was very ordinary, but it gave off a penetrating light.

Renard quickly figured out the identity of the other party, the apostle of Hades, the god of the underworld.

Hades, the god of the underworld, is one of the twelve main gods worshipped by the church, and is known as the true god who rules death and eternal night.

He is known by many names, some call him the Grim Reaper or the Sleeper, others the Styx Ferryman or the King of the Night.

To put it bluntly, the duties of the god of the underworld are actually similar to those of the king of Yama, with a slight difference that he has done it all by himself.

Renard has no shortage of malicious speculation that the great god's financial situation may not be good, so he can't afford to hire employees.

With that in mind, he watched as the group passed by him.

Only when the dead are dead, the believers of the god of death will come out to make some extra money, but often only two people go together, unless the dead person is too noble, no more than five people.

However, Renard was curious and roughly counted, and there were hundreds of Apostles of the Immortal God in the entire team.

Renard once again made malicious speculations, could it be that Hades, the god of the underworld, informed the apostles in advance, telling them that there was a large deal in the province of Golden Silk Willow, and let them go out collectively to make money?

If Alice knew what he was thinking, she would have to knock him on the head immediately, and although the empire no longer accepted the jurisdiction of the church, it still respected and even worshiped the gods.

Such vicious speculation about the gods would definitely have been burned at the stake before.

However, Renard didn't bother to care about gods or not, after all, he was a man who grew up under the red flag, and the feeling that this team brought to him was not only gloomy but also somewhat funny.

The soul-comforters at the front of the procession stopped and prayed every few dozen steps: "Great King of the Eternal Night, please bring these helpless spirits back to the Eternal Night, and let them sleep in peace." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when the soul comforter passed by, Renard suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be looking at him with some kind of strange eyes.

What do you mean? He was a little hairy by this gaze, and his hand unconsciously pressed on the hilt of his sword.

The soul-comforter noticed his movements, turned his head slowly, and continued to lead the way as if nothing had happened.

After the procession of soul-comforters was gone, countless men and women poured out of Phoenix, crying and grieving, apparently the families of the deceased.

The ensuing scene made Renard's scalp tingle, and he finally knew why hundreds of Death Apostles were dispatched at the same time, because there were dozens of dead people, and the corpses alone filled a dozen wagons.

Seeing this, the students also had a chill down their spines, and they all hid to the side in fear, although they were used to seeing life and death, and they had also stabbed the enemy, but after all, they were only foreign natives, and these people lying on the carriage were their own kind.

Something big must have happened, everyone thought so.

Everyone's good mood disappeared without a trace with this incident, and they passed by these people with an extremely heavy heart, and slowly entered Phoenix City.
