Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Unforgivable
Corpse. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Corpse.
The village of Tasim, which used to be peaceful and peaceful, now smells of blood everywhere, and the originally pure white snow is now eroded by dark red blood and turned into unclean.
Most of these corpses have been eaten by monsters, and some of them can barely be identified by the clothes on their bodies.
Bohm, Otham.
They are all members of the village militia, just like Parker before them, and Otam is also the younger brother of the blacksmith Odom, and he has a similar temperament to Odom, he is a kind of meat joker, fishing is his housekeeping skill, and Fran says that he will often receive fresh fish gifts from him.
Obviously, when Reina set off during the day, they were still alive, they smiled and said goodbye to Reina and the sky, and deliberately teased the sky, not to let Bai Ze step on Reina again.
But now...... All that left them was the cold stump.
"Your Highness Reina......" The sky was not as excited as she imagined, she just looked at these corpses in a daze, it seemed that she had seen too many such scenes.
"It seems that there are no corpses of ordinary villagers here, so it means that they have been evacuated in advance. We'll look around the village now, and if there's no clue, we'll go to the mansion and have a look. ”
Reina and Sky stepped on the snow and made a rustling sound, and together they opened the doors of one house after another, and found that there was no trace of anyone in the house, except for the mess and messiness of the place.
And outside the window of a dwelling, Reina and the firmament ...... I saw the scene that made it difficult for them to hide the anger in their hearts.
Is that...... Wooden fence outside the village.
The magic crystals that were supposed to be suspended all fell on the stakes in a row, and the magic crystals that Rooney had repaired earlier were directly broken and bursting, leaving only some debris.
The Light Barrier is to the village what the Light Magus is to the El Continent.
Without the Magus of Light, the El Continent would be devoured by the monsters that raged on the Yuglon Continent.
Without the Light Barrier, there is absolutely no hope of survival for the village.
It's impossible not to understand this.
Although the villagers of Tasim Village were suspected of playing tricks on him before, all the while, whether it was the huge amount of money he demanded or something else, the villagers of Tasim tried to satisfy him as much as possible, and Rooney, although disgusted, still kept a certain measure.
But this time...... This is......
A sin that can never be forgiven!
The sky gradually darkened.
It should be said that at this time, it is really nightfall, but these monsters left the forest prematurely and invaded the village, which must be inseparable from the early arrival of winter.
Even the accident in Tasim village aside, it was a terrible disaster for other villages and towns.
When Reina and his party arrived at the foot of the hill of the Lord's Mansion, they found a lot of monster ashes and arrow feathers, and there were still some damaged words of the magic array on the ground.
Flame has always been the strongest means that the villagers can deal with monsters, and it has the ability to dominate the enemy in a large area, which is also an important reason why the flame magister has always been far ahead of the rest of the elemental magisters.
And the damage that arrow feathers can do is really not worth mentioning.
Suddenly there was a flash of fire among the grass, and by the appearance, it was several flaming arrows wrapped in flames.
"Odom? Is it everyone? ”
Hearing Reina's call, the figures in the grass stood up.
"Your Excellency?"
It was Odom who led the shout, and unlike the ordinary militiamen, his face was very solemn, and he knew that now was not the time to celebrate.
"Your Highness Reina, I'm glad you're safe and sound, the situation in the village ...... Did you see it when you entered the village? ”
Reina nodded, "How did the village's guardian crystal break?" ”
"It started to snow around noon, you know, it was a sign that winter was coming, but we didn't really pay much attention to it, it was Grandpa Uzi who was urging us from house to house on crutches to slowly evacuate us to the mountains. And not long after the evacuation, the monsters broke through directly from the magic crystal set up by Rooney's bastard, as if the target had already been determined, once the guardian crystal in that place was damaged, the other guardian crystals naturally lost their effectiveness. ”
"What about the others, is there anything wrong?"
"Basically all the people who suffered were members of our militia, and a few others were still outside the village at the time...... Now it's probably more than lucky. ”
"So...... Everyone else is in my mansion, isn't it? ”
"Yes, lordship, lordship......"
Other words...... Most people are still safe.
"Wait, wait."
Just as Reina and the others were about to go up the mountain to check on the villagers, Odom suddenly stopped Reina.
"Your Lordship...... Fran she ......"
When the snow first began to fall, Fran and her sister were staying in the Lord's Mansion, but after getting the news of the evacuation, she followed the militia team to evacuate the crowd.
When Reina hurried back to the mansion, the three children of the brothers Funa and Hornhold were silently waiting in front of Fran's bed, each with red and swollen eyes, Horn's eyes were the most swollen, and Horn's face was full of red marks, and he didn't know whether he had beaten himself or was beaten by Funa.
"Brother Reina......
Reyner and Sky made their way to Fran's bedside, and Reina slowly helped Fran and examined the injuries on her back. Bai Ze had already slept peacefully in Reina's room, and no one asked about the child's origin now.
"My lord, I've checked it before, and in addition to her flesh wounds, Fran is also tainted with the 'Poison of Jugron', if not healed by the Magister of Light...... Fran she ......"
"Yuglon's Poison" is a more general statement, people who are injured by monsters have a certain chance of being infected with this rotten poison, and this poison can only be removed by the purification skill of the light attribute, and if the poison is not eliminated in time...... Humanity will be corrupted and will become a walking corpse with no ability to think but to kill.
"The rot poison of the demonized timber wolf is not strong, we have at least one more day to figure it out."
"My lordship......" Mr. Clay's bitter melon face once again showed an embarrassed look, "if there is a Magus of Light that can only be seen in a day, it is Rooney's bastard......"
"Your Lord! Your Lord! Outside the house, the shouts of the militia rang out, "The monsters have gathered again!" ”
"Lord...... Let the skies come to the rescue! ”
Looking at the resolute eyes of the sky, Reina nodded slightly, but he still couldn't help but remind,
"Remember...... This time, don't be reckless. ”
Cangqiong pursed his lips, and his face was solemn: "The Lord Monarch...... Also. ”
Reina was stunned by the firmament's answer, but the firmament didn't explain much, so he quickly followed the militia out of the house.
But what...... What the sky said this time may be right.
Whether you want to save the village or Fran, it's hard to balance both.
If you save Fran, relying on the ability of the sky and your own timely demon replenishment, it is not impossible to break through the siege of the monsters and go to Tado Town alone; But these people in the village alone will definitely become a meal for monsters.
But if she waits for the dawn or reinforcements from the territory, Fran will ......
"His Royal Highness Reina......
Fran was still in a dream, and suddenly called out Reina's name, and his left hand seemed to be constantly groping for something.
Reyna subconsciously grabbed Fran's hand, and Fran fell into a calm and opened her eyes with difficulty, her face was very pale and she looked very weak.
"His Highness Reina...... Thankfully, you're safe. ”
"No need to speak...... Rest well. ”
Fran barely managed to squeeze out a smile and shook her head hard, "My situation...... I know it now. You don't have to dwell on it, Your Highness Reina, no matter what, I will not forgive Rooney for what he did, so I will not beg him for help. I'm sorry...... I'm sorry I can't serve you well anymore......" As she said this, Fran suddenly choked up, her originally smiling eyes were filled with tears, and her grip on Reina's hand became tighter, "Funa...... Funa, please ...... then."
Reina suddenly let go of Fran's hand, leaving her with only a back.
"Fran...... No matter how many times I will answer you: Funa is your sister, you should take good care of her yourself. ”
Reina turned his head and showed his side face at Fran, with an indescribable wry smile attached to it.
"Because...... A bastard like me was never worth being trusted. ”
