"Forbidden magic is magic that can only be used at the most critical moments. ”

"It doesn't require any sacrifice, because the sacrifice of forbidden art is yourself. ”

Walking down the street, Alan recalled Front's words.

"Just go through the devil's mouth and imagine a part of your own body as a sacrifice, just like you would with normal magic. ”

"Magic that is sacrificed to oneself is powerful, but it also comes with a huge cost, so it is called forbidden magic. ”

"Also, other magicians can also be used as sacrifices for forbidden arts. ”

Standing in front of the office, Alan exhaled and pushed the door open.

Old Oak was holding a plate of steak and putting it on the table.

Mia was already sitting at the table, eating the steak elegantly.

"Alan, you look pretty good!"

It had only been a few hours, but Old Oak felt as if Alan had changed as a different person.

Young and full of vitality.

It's like my younger self.

"Figured out something. ”

Alan smiled and looked at Mia.

She still lowered her head to eat, and didn't even look at Allen.

"Count the time, afternoon is when the magic is at its most cranky. ”

Old Oak pushed the steak in front of Allen, who was seated, and walked into the back room.

Alan had just taken a few bites when Old Oak came out of the back room with two sacrificial bags in his hands.

"This is the sacrifice I specially asked for from Boulder City, there are two iron axe fragments, and a dozen axe fragments, and four healing seeds, you can see if you need it. ”

He reached into the sacks and placed the contents on the table.

Two axe blades caught Allen's eye.

They were two glittering silver blades, the surface of which looked extremely smooth, and there were mysterious patterns carved into the blades.

They were also slightly larger than the dozen or so axe fragments next to them.

Mia wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and stood up, taking only two healing seeds.

"There are too many things in the sacrificial bag, which will affect the efficiency of taking out the sacrificial items in battle. ”

Old Oak said.

Alan nodded, and took the two iron axe fragments and the remaining two healing seeds into the sacrificial bag.

The small sacrificial bag was almost full at the moment.

Old Oak nodded, didn't say anything more, put the remaining axe fragments back into the sacrificial bag, put them back in the back room, and walked out to dine with Allen.

Just as the three of them were about to finish their meal, there was a knock on the door outside.

Old Oak opened the door, and a guard stood in front of it.

"Your Excellency Baron would like to invite you to the main gates. ”

After saying this, the guard turned and left.

"Zhengcheng Gate, is it to mobilize?"

Alan took the last bit of steak into his mouth, a little puzzled.

"Possibly, we'll leave now. ”

Old Oak nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked out the door.

After the two Alan and the others came out, Old Oak locked the door and followed behind them.

The crowd on the street was rushing in the direction of the main city gate, as if they all knew that something big was going to happen there.

"Did you hear that? Someone tried to escape last night, but they were caught!"

"What! These bastards want to run away without a fight!"

"Deserters must die!"

Hearing the whispers of the people around him, Allen's brow furrowed.

The people who ran away and got caught couldn't be the same people last night, right?

Thinking of this, his steps couldn't help but speed up a little, and he even used great force to push away the pedestrians in front of him to speed up.

For some reason, he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

......

Hank stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at his young, but somewhat tired and resolute face, and couldn't help but sigh.

He hadn't slept all night, so much so that his right eyelid had been beating non-stop until now.

"Don't worry, my lord, although Potter has a bad reputation, he has a good credit, and your wife will definitely arrive in Boulder City safely. ”

Hank walked out of the bathroom, and Ponte stood guard outside the door.

His face was also a little haggard, and there were shallow dark circles under his eyes, and he didn't seem to be resting.

"I hope so. ”

Thinking of his unborn child, Hank's always steady heart can't help but feel a little turbulent.

"Urgent gathering! Urgent assembly!"

"Assemble urgently at the main city gate!"

As soon as the two of them walked out, they heard several guards shouting.

"Oh no!

Hank's face was grim, and he stood at the sentry post of the barracks not far away.

More than a dozen guards had already assembled into neat companies and were waiting.

When the rest of the guards also joined the company, Hank gave the order and ran towards the main city gate.

These guards were the elite guards of the city walls, and the ordinary guards who patrolled the town on a daily basis were much higher in terms of discipline and quality.

For some reason, when he received the order to urgently assemble at the main city gate, Hank's heart panicked for no reason.

The right eyelid is still jumping.

"My lord, did you say that the monsters are going to attack the city?"

Ponte asked in a low voice as he followed Hank's side.

"Impossible, although there are already monsters wandering around, they will not choose to attack at this time. ”

"Lord Baron said that afternoon is the time when the magic power is at its most violent, and the monsters' abilities can be strengthened, and they should choose to attack at that time. ”

"Then why did the Baron assemble urgently now, or at the main city gate?"

"I don't know. ”

Even though the leading guards were evacuating the pedestrians, the speed of the thirty or forty guards slowed down.

The closer he got to the main gate, the more uneasy Hank's heart became.

What's wrong with you?

He has always been calm and calm, but he has never been so nervous.

Along the ramparts, Hank could already see the huge gate.

The crowd had already closed the city gates, and the voices of the people were very noisy.

But no matter how noisy it was, Hank could still hear some words.

Fled, caught, executed.

Every word was enough to make Hank's whole body cold.

The guards in front had cleared the crowd, leaving an open space for Hank and the others to see the scene over there.

Baron Angelo stood on the high platform at the city gate, his two hounds, Duru and Gary, beside him, their necks jammed by the tightened reins, their backs arched high, their sickle-like tails taut, their teeth gritted, and their low growls from time to time.

And in front of them, kneeling more than two dozen people.

Their heads were covered by coarse cloth hoods, and their hands and feet were tied with hemp rope, and they could not move.

The humming sound kept coming from their hoods, and their mouths were sealed.

Baron Angelo waved his hand, and the people present suddenly fell silent.

"People, the monsters are coming to Greystone soon, and we should all be united in fighting them to the death. ”

"But among us, there is a traitor!"

His voice suddenly became cold, his originally easy-going face tightened, and his eyes were full of fierce light.

Taking advantage of the guards' inattention, they secretly escaped through the back gate at night, but were discovered by the guards and arrested. ”

"I ask you, these miscellaneous ...... who fled from the battle and risked the lives of others."

"Should you be killed?!"

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

Deafening shouts emanated from the mouths of the populace.

Both their eyes and their cheeks turned red at the hearing of Baron Angelo's words.

Hank's straight body trembled slightly.

His gaze swept frantically over the kneeling men.

Finally, he saw it.

A woman with a high belly was shaking her head incessantly and making a slight whining sound.

Hearing Baron Angelo's voice, the woman couldn't help but move her body, wanting to break free from the restraints.

But her struggling movements did not help, and the hemp rope rubbed her white skin into bloody streaks.

Hank stood there and watched.

Sweat was dripping down his back, but he didn't dare to make a move.

He didn't dare to show the slightest bit of anger.

Beside him, Ponte's legs were already weak, and his hands were clutching Hank's shirt tightly, and he didn't even dare to look in the direction of the city gate.

Hank...... They...... They are ......"

Hank didn't say anything, but Ponte could feel Hank's clothes soaked in cold sweat.

His pupils suddenly dilated, and he couldn't breathe for a while, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground and fell unconscious.

Several guards behind him hurriedly supported him.

"Master Ponte!"

"In that case......

A smile tugged at the corner of Baron Angelo's mouth.

"Then they, let's die!"

As soon as his hand was released, the reins he was holding in his hand suddenly loosened.

Duru and Gary felt a drop in their necks and jumped off the platform.

The man closest to them immediately began to struggle when he heard Baron Angelo's voice.

The man was dressed in luxurious clothes, with gold and silver jewelry on his hands and neck, and a frighteningly large belly.

Because of the exertion, he fell to the ground, and his body kept moving.

When the two hounds as big as tigers saw the man's appearance, they roared excitedly and rushed forward.

Duru bit the man's waist and pulled it out hard.

"Woo!

The man couldn't help but scream, but the cloth in his mouth prevented him from speaking.

Blood burst out from the wound on his waist, and his bloody body was displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

"Bite him to death!"

"Bite him to death!"

The crowd raised their fists and their eyes were red, and they kept cheering.

After seeing the blood, they became even more excited.

"Woo!"

As Duru and Gary kept biting at the man's body, the man's voice began to decrease.

The two hounds had fierce eyes in their eyes and bit the flesh off the man's body one bite at a time.

After more than ten seconds, the clothes on the man's body had become tattered, both hands had been bitten off, and one leg had been bitten and even the bones could be seen.

Scarlet and fresh blood flowed from the man's body, even to the soles of the spectators not far away.

But the people didn't pay attention to these details, and they couldn't help but cry out excitedly when they saw that the man's movements were getting more and more slight, and finally even remained motionless.

"Die, sinner!"

"Deserter!"

"Chop!"

As if not satisfied with the man who had not moved, the two pairs of red eyes of Duru and Gary locked onto a woman who was close at hand.

The woman had already spasmed with fright when she heard the man's whine and the murderous roar of the hound.

Her legs shook even more as she felt two hot gases rush towards her, and a stinking yellow liquid and scarlet blood fused on the ground to form a dark red strange liquid.

It wasn't just the woman, the aura of fear spread among everyone in the enclosure.

They struggled and screamed under the looming threat of death, but to no avail.

No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the dead knotted hemp rope, and he would only wear out his clothes and skin.

No amount of roaring could convey their fear and anger to people's ears, and sackcloth gagged their mouths to death.

And it was these powerless struggles and roars that made the onlookers become extremely fanatical.

Even Baron Angelo, who was standing on the high platform, trembled slightly with his straight body at this moment.

With each bite from those men, the blood in Duru's and Gary's eyes deepened.

The three of them had already arrived at the city gate.

Standing on the second floor of a dwelling, they could clearly see what was happening in the fence of the city gate.

Looking at the blood all over the ground, the desperate criminals, and the people who were close to madness, the three of Allen fell silent.

"Don't be impulsive. ”

Old Oak grabbed Allen's arm and whispered in his ear.

Young people of Allen's age are often full of enthusiasm, and after they have extraordinary strength, they often do some irrational things.

"I understand. ”

Alan looked at the human tragedy inside the fence and said.

There was neither anger nor sadness on his face, just a faint look at the scene.

The moment these people escaped, they were already ready to be caught.

But Alan was puzzled by a point, these people had already left Greystone Town, how did Baron Angelo catch them?

Could it be that there is still a guard corps deployed outside the city walls?

Allen's gaze turned to Baron Angelo on the high platform.

With his eyesight, he could even see Baron Angelo's slightly trembling legs.

Now, the baron's desire must have been satisfied.

There was a river of blood flowing from the enclosure, and mutilated human parts were everywhere.

The black fur on Duru and Gary had been stained a dark red with splatters of blood.

Their sharp teeth and terrifying bite force tear bones apart, and with each bite, the victim lets out a scream.

Of the twenty or thirty criminals, there are only a few left at the moment.

The rest of the people, as if they had accepted their fate, remained motionless, only the slight rise and fall of their chests proved that they were still alive.

Maybe it's not despair, maybe they just don't have the strength to struggle anymore, to scream anymore.

His clothes and skin had been worn and bloodied, and his voice was hoarse, but it was still a low whine.

No matter what they do, it will only make the two hounds more ferocious and the audience more excited and fanatical.

After eating so many people, Duru and Gary did not lose their appetite in the slightest, and one of them pounced on his prey, and the other began to feast on the delicious limbs of his prey.

When Duru bit a man's foot, he accidentally bit off the hemp rope that bound the man's foot, and brought out a large piece of flesh.

Although the pale bones of his feet were exposed, the man stood up in pain and tried to run forward.

But before he had taken a few steps, Duru pounced.

Blood-stained dirty teeth were embedded deep in the back of the man's neck, and as soon as the teeth were bitten, a stream of blood burst out and splashed the faces of several people standing on the edge of the fence.

Those people touched the hot blood on their faces, and they couldn't help but lick it.

"It's worthy of miscellaneous, even the blood, it's so disgusting. ”

The man who was the first to lick couldn't help but spit out the blood in his mouth and scolded viciously.

The man who wanted to escape fell to the ground, trying to struggle to get up, but after a few seconds, there was no movement.

Blood flowed like an infusion, and at the city gate, there was a hell on earth.
