Chapter 81: Excuses
The dialogue between Megan and Du Shen has always used secret methods to raise their voices. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so most of the town heard Du Shen's explanation.
"Bastard!" Not only Meghan yelled, not only all the wizards yelled, but even the ordinary townspeople lying on the ground let out sporadic curses.
"I'm sorry. Du bowed down and apologized. He still vibrated the elemental flames, keeping his voice loud and covering a range of hundreds of meters: "For the consequences of my recklessness. I felt very guilty. However, now is not the time to hold accountable. Let's hurry up and treat the wounded!"
Du Shen's apology sparked more resentment. However, his reminder does make a lot of sense. Almost everyone's attention shifted at the same time, and everyone began to pay attention to their own injuries and those of their companions.
The town's clearing was a little lively. Many people let go of their throats and vent their pain: "Oh! my leg is broken." Who's going to help me?"
"It hurts me! I feel like my guts must be cracking!"
"Shhh
"I'm ......," the man cried weakly, holding his stomach, "call the doctor to save me." My bowels must be broken!"
Not only the ordinary townspeople, but also many wizards let out snorts and snorts. Meghan glanced at the increasingly chaotic scene and had more and more headaches. There was a deep doubt in her heart. But she intends to concentrate on solving the mess in front of her first.
Tyresa pulled Du Shen up and walked towards Megan. Du Shen evacuated the ghouls slightly, but still maintained a tight protective circle around them.
Teresa stopped in front of Meghan and bowed slightly apologetically: "Sister Megan, I'm sorry." But Du Shen is right. Now the first priority is to treat the wounded. We won't bother you. I will take Du Shen back to the castle first. When you are done, I will take him to explain and apologize to you. ”
Megan glared at Du Shen gloomily, and her voice was calm: "That's good." You take him back first. Teressa, please watch him. I can't let him make any more mess!"
Teresa nodded in assurance, pulling Du Shen around Megan. Du Shen ordered the ghouls to follow. Wait until you are almost at the exit to the west of town. He put all the ghouls into the pendant space.
Seeing the dense ghouls disappear in an instant. Those eyes staring at Du Shen's back were stunned at the same time, and then shocked. All the wizards, including Megan, who witnessed the disappearance of the ghost, felt a deep chill in their hearts at the same time.
The town in front of you is vast. Either by stone walls, or by relying on natural mountain walls. The entire town was heavily guarded against the invasion of foreign beasts.
Du Shen followed Teresa out of the half-open exit to the west of the town. The two of them walked along the stone path to the northwest. There are no human figures or any man-made structures along the way. Turning over the low hillside at his feet, Du Shen saw two small castles standing side by side.
Teresa introduced herself to Du Shen as she walked. The two castles are the base camp of the Ring of Stars. As for the town just now, it is responsible for providing the needs of the wizards. The inhabitants of the town are basically relatives and family members of wizards.
Speaking of which, the location of the star ring is very special. Within a radius of forty or fifty kilometers, the surrounding mountains and forests are wasteland. However, the three or four kilometers in the center of the wasteland belong to the normal area. It is just right for ordinary people to reproduce and live.
In other words, the wasteland around the castle and town is distributed in a circular shape. Such an environment is extremely conducive to the protection and cultivation of future generations by shamans.
So, even though the temple is well aware of its environment, it has historically been leveled and destroyed by the temple. However, after three or four hundred years of wandering, about seventy years ago, the upper echelons of the Star Ring still transferred most of their power back after careful consideration.
Today, the members of the Star Ring have lived peacefully here for more than sixty years.
The castle is actually not far from the town, and the distance in a straight line is probably less than a kilometer. Du Shen and the two quickly walked to the door. There is no moat around the castle, but there is a small lake at a distance.
As soon as Du Shen walked into the castle, he saw several figures suddenly jump out from behind the walls. Du Shen was secretly wary, but others didn't pay much attention to him.
The figure that suddenly appeared, led by a middle-aged woman. The woman is slightly chubby and has an ordinary appearance. She looked anxiously at the girl, "Tiresa, what's going on? Is the temple calling?
Teresa glanced at Du Shen and explained in embarrassment: "Aunt Tum, it's not the temple attacking, it's just a misunderstanding. Town, town is pretty chaotic right now. Oh, Aunt Toom, you can inform the wizards and apprentices who have transferred. Let them come back. ”
Teresa's explanation was rambling, but it didn't completely dispel Toom's anxiety. Tum stepped forward and walked through Du Shen and the two: "I'd better go to the town first to see the situation." Several other wizards followed in silence, equally uneasy.
Teresa looked at the backs of the others and walked away. Only then did she turn around and continue to lead Du Shen. The girl suddenly sighed heavily: "Du Shen, you are hurting me! Things are getting more and more troublesome!"
"What's the trouble?" Du Shen asked with a chuckle.
"You ......" Seeing Du Shen's indifferent attitude, Teresa lowered her head and sighed, just leading the way in a dull manner.
On the other hand, almost all the wounded in the town were removed from the open field. A few of them were able to move to the town's cramped medical hall. Most of the others were simply transferred home. In contrast, wizards are generally less injured. Wizards who can move go from place to place, using their meagre medical knowledge to care for the townspeople.
Soon, several wizards who were responsible for counting casualties returned to Megan's side. After summarizing, everyone found that no one was killed in the attack. The severity of the injuries varies, but they are not expected to be life-threatening.
After listening to the report, Meghan was silent for a while, and suddenly asked the assistant next to her: "Frida, do you say, are we too lucky?
"Yes!" Frida and the wizards around her looked happy.
Meghan saw the relieved smiles of Frida and the others, and secretly snorted coldly: Don't mention the wizard first. In the previous battles, both the guards and the townsfolk were involved. Among them, some of the guards were already knights, and some of the townspeople could only be counted as strong ordinary people. And the monsters driven by Du Shen, each one of them is probably comparable to the knight chief.
The guards and townsfolk were knocked away by the monsters, and no matter what their strength was, they were all just injured? The townspeople, who were relatively weak, were so lucky that they weren't killed by the monsters on the spot?
Meghan couldn't help but express the doubts in her heart: "Some of our townspeople are too lucky, right?"
"Maybe the man was showing mercy," Frida simply guessed, "he's here to rescue Teresa, and I don't want to provoke us for the time being." ”
Megan snorted, and her previous doubts resurfaced. You know, Meghan has been in power for more than 20 years. She thinks that she manages the Ring of Stars airtightly. Megan is too curious about where Du Shen got the news that Teresa was tortured and persecuted.
On the other side, in the castle, Teresa brought Du Shen into her own room.
After a brief conversation, Du Shen asked Teresa about her experience in the last two months. In order to give Du Shen a clear understanding of the situation, Teresa described it in detail.
The journey was thrilling, and Teresa arrived at the Star Ring safely. It didn't take much to see Meghan as planned, and she finally revealed her true identity.
After some code words, messages, and tokens, Meghan basically believed that Teressa was the heir of Shadow Keep. After that, Meghan treated Teressa, although not very welcoming, but also respectful and considerate enough.
Within a few days, Megan summoned the elders and introduced Teresa to most of the higher-ups. Most of the elders reacted mutedly to Teresa, but all said that they would take Meghan as the lead.
Later, Meghan and the elders led Teresa in the ceremony. It is not only to further verify Teresa's identity, but also to take out the treasure that the Star Ring has kept for the Shadow Family for thousands of years. Strangely, according to ancient records, Teresa failed to pass the verification ceremony.
Teressa's situation took a turn for the worse. Some elders suspect that Teresa is not a descendant of Shadowkeep at all. There are even a few elders who directly shouted and demanded that Teresa be expelled far away.
With Megan's vigorous maintenance, the elders didn't bother Teresa too much in the end. However, they also asked for the maid to be assigned to follow Teresa at all times, in the name of personal care. The essence is close surveillance, even house arrest.
Teresa finally sighed gloomily: "I don't know now, what the attitude and intentions of Sister Megan and the elders are. They neither affirmed my identity nor allowed me to leave. ”
"I see!" Du Shen tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, his face calm. He had anticipated Teressa's current situation. Du Shen thought thoughtfully and kept tapping on the table.
Teresa waited for a while, breaking the silence: "The previous monster is your newly summoned subordinate, how do you think that I am being persecuted by the people here?"
"Ah," Du Shen came back to his senses and shook his head, "I don't know." I just wanted to test the abilities of my new subordinates, so I found an excuse to attack here. ”
"What?" Teresa surged to her feet. She was stunned for a moment, and complained bitterly: "How can you be like this? I'm worried, how can I win everyone's trust." You're here to do me a favor!"
"I'm sorry!" Du Shen got up and reached out and patted the girl's arm, "I'll help you." Speaking of which, I regret it very much now. I would like to apologize to the people who hurt me. However, I am worried that coming forward at this time will irritate them and not be conducive to recuperation. So, why don't you, Teresa, help me go and apologize to them?"
"It's time to apologize," Teresa nodded heavily, lamenting bitterly, "all right. I'll help you convey it first. It's better to remedy it as soon as possible, and the relationship with everyone. ”
