"I've requested reinforcements from the Boulder chapter, just in case, and until then, I think these two mages are good enough for most troubles. ”

Old Oak looked at Mia and said.

"In that case, then I'm relieved. ”

Baron Angelo nodded, his heart relaxed.

"Lord Baron, since the city is going to get crowded, why don't you let some of the inhabitants evacuate to a safer rear first?"

Alan was a little puzzled.

According to Old Oak, this magical riot mainly affected the remote areas outside of Graystone, and Graystone, as the only large town nearby, was only affected.

Although it is several days away from Boulder City, as long as you leave Greystone Town and enter the rear, the safety factor can be greatly improved.

"Nonsense, this is their home, how can they leave like this!"

Baron Angelo, who was still very gentle, suddenly straightened his face, and his voice began to become low.

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do, Greystone Town's defenses are more than enough to face those monsters, and I've also asked Boulder City for reinforcements, plus you're here, those monsters aren't even a fart. ”

Seeing what Eren wanted to say, Baron Angelo's face darkened.

"That's all for today, I won't send it. ”

Seeing that Baron Angelo had given the order to evict the guests, Alan couldn't say anything more, and the three of them had to leave.

"It's really strange that Angelo, who was originally very talkative, seems to have become a different person after Allen mentioned that some people should be evacuated. ”

Old Oak was a little confused.

"At this time, it is wise to let some people leave first, and ordinary people will not only be unable to do anything in the city, but will waste resources and space. ”

Mia said as she walked ahead.

"I've never seen him like this in all my years in Greystone, and as far as I know, he's always been a good baron with a lot of duty and brains. ”

"Wait. ”

Alan stopped suddenly.

"Remember what he said yesterday?"

Mia and Old Oak also stopped and began to think.

Baron Angelo, who was originally normal, suddenly changed into a different person after mentioning the word leaving, and even a little manic.

"Could it be that Angelo's obsession is that no one can leave?"

Mia's eyes lit up and she said.

"That's right, he doesn't want anyone to leave Greystone, even in such a dangerous situation."

Alan voiced his guess.

This is what he has always wanted, but it has been magnified under the influence of the magic riot. ”

"We'll go back and talk about the rest. ”

Old Oak's eyes narrowed.

The three of them returned to the office and entered the room in the corner.

"When Angelo was young, he fought against the people of Kate's kingdom in Greystone, and when the war ended, he was canonized as a baron for his outstanding achievements, and Greystone was his domain. ”

Old Oak lit the candle on the table and sat down.

"Maybe he hates deserters because of the war, so he doesn't want anyone to leave Greystone at this time. ”

Alan said.

He never understood why old Jerry turned into a monster, and he didn't ask the village chief later, but according to Front, when a person's desire is extremely strong, then he is likely to be bewitched by the god of desire and degenerate into a monster.

Whether it is through a spell or a ritual, that person will follow the will of the god of desire and sacrifice his own price to fulfill his wish.

"Since we have nothing to do with him, and we can't forcibly control him, we can only try to help him satisfy his desires. ”

Alan and Mia nodded in unison, and now it seemed that there was only one way to do it.

After the discussion, Alan and the two went out on patrol again, leaving Old Oak alone in the office.

After a day, there were more and more people in the town.

The streets are littered with ragged homeless people, presumably people who have fled from the outlying villages.

Gul Village is not very far from Graystone Town, and if little Jerry had fled, he should have arrived today.

Weaving through the crowd, Eren suddenly came to the back gate of Graystone.

The back gate was closed, and a group of guards were holding weapons, standing on the edge of the city gate under martial law, and at a glance, there were more than a dozen.

"My lord, open the gates and let us leave!"

"Yes, we are all good citizens, you see!

Dozens of civilians were surrounding the guards, waving a piece of parchment.

"Yesterday the Baron gave a death order, no one is allowed to leave, even if you have a guide, it will not help!"

The guard in the lead frowned and said coldly.

"But others clearly said that as long as there is a way, you can get out of the city gate, but I bought it for three silver coins!"

A middle-aged man couldn't help but say.

"If Lu Yin can be used now, others will have already gone out, how can they sell it to you?"

The guard looked at the middle-aged man, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, waved his hand, and turned away, "Don't be delusional, Lord Baron said that even if there is a big thing, the city gate will not be opened!"

The civilians who had lost their money and bought the road guide stood aside, their faces full of confusion and fear.

One by one, they sat on the ground, their weather-beaten faces full of despair.

Alan withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves behind him.

"Hurry up and open the gates, I'm going out!"

A man's loud shout came from behind Allen.

Alan turned his head to look.

Several carriages laden with goods stopped at the door, and the leading one had a carriage with the window open and a fat-headed, big-eared man sitting in it.

That sentence just now came from the man's mouth.

"Lord Potter, Lord Baron has given a death order......"

"I don't care what Angelo ordered, I'm his brother!

The man named Potter looked at the guard with disdain in his eyes, and he spat and said.

"No, no matter who it is, this gate can't be opened!"

Although the guards were bent over, their attitude was extremely firm.

"Do you believe that I broke in? I see who dares to stop me!"

Potter blushed, stepped out of the carriage, stood in the carriage, and said.

"If you really want to break in, we'll accompany you!"

With a wave of the guard's hand, the other guards around him immediately aimed their weapons at Potter, and the crossbowmen standing behind also tightened their crossbow strings.

Seeing those weapons that glowed with cold light, the pampered Potter was startled and almost fell off the carriage.

Humbling, he felt the fingers and sneers of countless pedestrians on the street, and couldn't help but kick the horse in front of him.

The horse screamed, but did not dare to make any movement.

"Hank, huh? You'll show me around!"

Glaring at the leading guard like a viper, Potter waved his hand and prepared to go home.

Not far away, Allen took in all of this.

It seems that Angelo has really made up his mind......

It's been a day and a night, and although the difference between the activity of the magic and yesterday is not very obvious, it is enough to cause a lot of changes.

A riot of magic will increase the desires in people's hearts.

This led to two or three robberies in a short period of time.

If it weren't for his amazing hearing and his proximity, a few lives would have dissipated into this world.

As for the other evils that Eren didn't know, but still happened in Greystone, I don't know how many.

Graystone, which is relatively peaceful on the surface, will sooner or later become chaotic as more and more outsiders pour in and the magic continues to riot.

According to Old Oak's estimates, in two more days, the surrounding magic activity will reach its highest point.

At that time, I don't know how many people will not be able to control the desires in their hearts and will degenerate into monsters.

At that time, I am afraid that Graystone Town will become a hell on earth......

If it hadn't been for the fact that Frante had told him that he would be hunted down by the magicians of Afalong at such a time, he would have fled long ago.

But the Magical Riot was also good for a magician like him, who found that his body was more agile and a little stronger.

After sacrificing several looters, the magic in his right arm was enhanced.

Eren felt as if he had hit a bottleneck, as long as he sacrificed another powerful monster, he should be able to enter the realm of a two-star magician like Mia.

After finishing the afternoon patrol, Alan walked towards the temporary office.

The guards were too limited to cover every location, so he and Mia had to patrol the town every day until reinforcements arrived, maintaining law and order and clearing out monsters.

Just as Alan was about to get to the office, he passed by an old woman who was begging.

There were many people begging in the town, and Alan barely walked a few steps to meet one, but this old woman alone gave him a strange feeling.

Looking at the old woman with her eyes closed and leaning against the city wall, Alan walked over.

He had only nine silver coins on him, and no smaller copper coins.

Just think of it as a good relationship, anyway, the magician will not be short of money to spend.

After thinking about it, Alan took out a silver coin and put it in front of the old woman.

Hearing the sound, the old woman opened her eyes and saw the silver coin that Alan had put down.

"Young man, that's too much, isn't it?"

"It's okay, you just have to take it. ”

Leaving this sentence behind, Alan turned and left.

Looking at the back of Allen's departure, the old woman said nothing, and silently put away the silver coin.

In such a place, if the coin were to be seen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hiding the silver coin in the pocket of her clothes, the old woman stood up and began to run in one direction.

"Hey, old woman, what are you doing?!"

When the two guards who were patrolling saw the old woman running, they thought it was very suspicious and hurriedly shouted.

No way!

Definitely can't be caught by them!

Once they catch it, if the silver coin is found......

There's nothing left!

Hearing the words of the guard not far away, the old woman's heart was full of anxiety, and she did not look back, but continued to run.

"Hey, this damn old woman!"

Seeing that the old woman not only did not look back, but ran faster, the two guards also pulled out their legs and began to chase after them.

Five minutes later, the two guards stopped, hunched over, panting.

"This damn old woman is running too fast!"

"Forget it, where do you see where she runs?"

The guard couldn't help but smile as he looked in the direction the old woman was running.

"It turned out to be a cheap slum slut, then it's fine, I really don't know how this cheap thing came out. ”

"yes, it's weird, but it doesn't matter, catching this kind of slut is dirty on our hands. ”

The two guards rested, put their hands on each other's shoulders, and turned back toward the neighborhood they were supposed to patrol.

"These people can't afford to enter the city, and they don't have the skills to make a living, so why does Lord Baron let them in?

"Maybe the Baron is kind, right? But the Baron has allocated a lot of miscellaneous supplies, and the Baron is still too kind. ”

"Yes, I heard that the baron paid for those supplies himself, and he almost emptied his family. ”

"I don't know if Lord Baron is stupid, so many supplies are given to those scum, it is better to give them directly, at least we can protect the people. ”

"What stupid things are you talking about, is there any difference between the Baron giving to those untouchables and giving it to us?"

Hearing this, the two laughed out loud.

I couldn't help but think about which girl I should find to accompany the wine after the patrol is over......

At this time, outside the slum.

The old woman who had given the silver coin earlier was walking towards the ghetto, accompanied by a young man.

"Mrs. Lillian, have you made a gain in the town?"

The man was dressed in a guard's costume and had a sword pinned to his leather pants, and looked to be in his twenties.

"Yes, thanks to you for sending me out, otherwise my son and I would have been trapped here. ”

At the thought of a happy life in the future, Lillian couldn't help but smile on her face.

"Where, you are like my deceased grandmother, you should help you. ”

The man held Lillian as he walked past a checkpoint.

"Hey, Rory, you're going to have to treat us to a drink later!"

Several of the guards standing next to the checkpoint looked at Rory and Lillian, and one of them whistled.

"Definitely!"

After sending Lillian to the slums, Rory returned to his post.

For the guards guarding the slums, the untouchables inside were not allowed to enter or leave, but if there were some special people who wanted to come out, the guards would turn a blind eye.

It wasn't long before Rory suddenly saw a sneaky kid wandering around.

"Hey, do you think that kid looks like he's going to slip away?"

He patted one of the guards next to him on the shoulder and pointed at the child.

"Hey, it's kind of like that. ”

The guard narrowed his eyes and walked with Rory towards the child.

The boy stood by the checkpoint, his hands in his dirty trouser pockets, and looked around.

Seeing Rory and the others walking towards him, the little boy did not retreat, but took the initiative to walk towards them.

"Imp, do you want to go out?"

Rory looked at the little boy who was only up to his waist and asked condescendingly.

"Yes, I have money. ”

The little boy looked up, a little nervous on his dirty face.

"Oh, then you take it out and show it to your uncles. ”

The guard next to him laughed and looked at the little boy playfully.

The little boy nodded, and reached into his pocket, as if ready to pull out something.

Rory and the two squatted down and looked intently at the little boy.

Suddenly, the boy pulls a handful of sand out of his pocket, throws it at Rory and the two, and then runs towards the checkpoint.

"Bastard!"

Rory and the two covered their eyes and jerked up, trying to grab the little boy.

But in such an instant, the little boy had already run a few meters away, and he was about to run out of the checkpoint.

"Imp, where do you want to go?"

The little boy looked up, and two tall guards were standing in front of him, and the harsh sunlight made it impossible for him to see the two of them.

These were two guards patrolling the perimeter.

The little boy's frail body was lifted up and brought to the checkpoint.

"Damn, this kid played a trick on us. ”

Rory covered his red eyes and looked at the little boy with anger in his eyes.

"What a little brute. ”

"Then he'll be at your disposal. ”

The two guards threw the boy on the cold ground, then turned and walked towards their posts.

"Please, I...... I didn't mean to......"

The little boy sat on the ground, looking at the two tall figures in front of him, his dirty little face full of fear.

Seeing him like this, Rory and the two looked at each other, and a cruel smile appeared on their faces.

Listening to the muffled snorts and screams coming from the blows to the bodies behind him, the figures of the two guards who were walking out did not pause in the slightest.

"This kid just came, and he dared to break into the checkpoint......

"Whatever, these brutes are not as good as the scum, and it is better to die. ”
