Travel (XXXII)
A group of guards in steel armor rode horses and arrived in neat formation into the town of Greystone.
Looking at the Greystone Town in front of them, even the well-informed ones couldn't help but stay for a while.
Human stumps and severed arms were everywhere, and on the walls and floors, there were dried blood stains mixed with bright red and pitch black.
"Are there any living people?"
The guards rode through the streets, and the leading guards kept shouting.
Hearing the sound, many people who had been hiding in their houses came out.
Seeing the armor shining silver in the sun, people's eyes couldn't help but heat, and a strong sense of security filled their hearts.
Even after all the monsters were cleared, they were still worried about it, and finally put their minds at ease.
"Saved!"
For the first time in a long time, they were smiling.
Hearing the cheers outside, Anna was not happy at all.
Looking at Alan lying beside her, Anna's nose couldn't help but sour.
Alan got up and got dressed.
He saw the two lines of tears on Anna's face, and the foggy eyes that I saw pity, and his heart softened.
But as soon as he saw the mouth of his right hand that kept sticking out his tongue and turning in circles in his palm, Eren had to endure it.
"I'm leaving. ”
He walked to the door, not daring to turn his head to look at Anna.
"Wait, I'll send you. ”
"No need. ”
Alan opened the door and walked out.
He was afraid.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to make up my mind again, and I'm afraid that my idea of staying with Anna for the rest of my life will revigate.
If one day the devil eats Anna, then he may feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Better a finger off than always aching.
"Alan!"
Anna hurriedly got out of bed and was running towards the door, but the door slammed shut.
She leaned against the door, hot tears streaming down her eyes.
"Ready?"
Mia was already waiting at the top of the stairs.
Seeing that Eren nodded lightly and didn't want to speak, she was also very interested and walked straight down.
The two of them came to the door of the bakery, and the group of cavalry was slowly walking in their direction.
The cavalry were surrounded by the inhabitants of Greystone, and it looked like there were hundreds.
Although most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, there are also some young people who are able-bodied.
It seems that not all young people choose to fight to the death......
Alan draped his robe over his body, covering his right arm and face, and followed behind Mia.
Magicians are outliers in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is best to keep a low profile.
The two did not walk towards the back gate, but towards Afaryn's office.
Looking at the back of the linen robe, Anna's hand clutched the window tightly, and her flower-like face was full of tears at the moment.
"Allen ......"
But at the same time, there were other people who were watching the two of them.
"Grandpa, why don't you let me go to see my brother?"
A childish voice came from the dark window.
If Alan heard this voice, he would have felt very familiar.
It's little Jerry!
"Because you're not strong enough, didn't you promise your brother that you would be the one who can save others?"
A somewhat rickety figure stood next to little Jerry.
The old man's hand stretched out, and through the sunlight that came in through the window, it could be seen that it was incomparably smooth.
It's not like a human hand.
He flipped his hand over, revealing what was in his palm.
It was a door.
A door made of flesh and blood.
Blood was dripping from the small door, and disgusting bones and internal organs were sliding on the panel.
If ordinary people see it, I'm afraid they can be directly frightened crazy by this hand.
However, little Jerry was not at all uncomfortable or afraid of this strange hand like a monster.
The old man put his hand on little Jerry's head and stroked it gently.
A few drops of blood dripped onto little Jerry's head and ran down his head.
Fragments of viscera and bones fell on his head, clinging to his black hair with a strange scent.
"Is it really useless to read?"
Little Jerry didn't care about these strange things, and he didn't feel his head itching, his innocent eyes still followed Allen's figure.
"It worked. ”
The old man smiled, revealing the few teeth that remained.
"But it's useless to you. ”
It wasn't until Alan's figure was blocked by the window that little Jerry withdrew his gaze and fiddled with his fingers with his head down.
"Have you figured it out? My brother doesn't look like an ordinary person. ”
"Hmm. ”
Little Jerry's hands kept rubbing against his clothes.
The old man took his right hand back, and the slime turned into silk and connected the little boy's head and hand.
Picking the thread off, the old man continued to laugh.
"Then go ahead. ”
Little Jerry nodded, and turned to walk towards the dark room.
The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the dark room.
Hearing the footsteps, a woman whose whole body was bound by a rope couldn't help but struggle.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The woman's mouth was stuffed with something that kept her out of her voice.
Being in the dark for a long time, one can faintly see what is in the dark.
Seeing the familiar little figure, the woman's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
She moved harder, screaming louder and louder.
It wasn't until a knife was plunged into her chest that her pupils dilated.
"Tick!"
"Tick!"
"Tick!"
Blood kept dripping on the wooden floor.
Little Jerry kept his head down, his hands twitching mechanically.
"God of space, this is my price. ”
He muttered in his mouth.
Suddenly, little Jerry stopped what he was doing.
The corpse of the woman in front of her suddenly began to tremble violently.
The corpse turned into a mass of flesh and threw itself at little Jerry.
To be precise, to pounce on his right hand.
"Ahh
Little Jerry couldn't help but scream.
He fell to his knees suddenly, his features twisted together, his nose snorting incessantly.
A small opening suddenly opened in his right palm.
The mass of flesh and blood seemed to see some treasure, and drilled frantically towards the small opening.
"Ahhh
Little Jerry wailed in pain as the flesh burrowed into his right hand.
His eyes suddenly turned white, and he fainted directly.
Hearing the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him, the old man did not look back, but walked to the window.
The warm rays of the sun shone through the window on his shiny bald head.
"It's boring......"
"I hope you'll give me a little fun......"
He looked down at his right hand.
The door of flesh slammed open.
Inside the door was nothingness.
It's like an abyss with no bottom in sight.
Just stare inside, and you'll be stuck in it for the rest of your life.
A smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth.
"Bang!"
The door slammed shut.
The figures of the old man and little Jerry lying on the ground disappeared at the same time.
In the dark attic, only the fresh blood still flowing on the ground witnessed all this happening.
"What's the name of that horseshoe you've used?"
Alan looked at the horseshoe stuffed into his hand and asked Frante in his right arm.
The horseshoe was stained with a little dried blood, the same thing he had seen with Front.
"Skeleton horses. ”
After answering Alan's question, Frante fell silent again.
Since that time when he mentioned Allen's special physique to Allen, Front's words have not been so much.
Alan was happy too.
At this moment, he was standing in the back room of the office, watching Mia's hand reach into the fire.
Mia had just taken a scroll out of the drawer, scribbled a few lines on it with a quill pen, and threw it into the furnace.
The scroll vanished into thin air.
Half a minute later, the scarlet flames began to flicker.
Mia reached in and within seconds, pulled out two horseshoes.
This is their vehicle to Boulder.
"Don't you have to clean up here?"
Alan saw Mia walk out the door and hurriedly asked.
In case an ordinary person accidentally breaks in, what does it happen......
"No, when Greystone recovers, Boulder will send a new administrator. ”
Mia walked outside, her voice still flat.
Alan walked to the door and turned his head to look inside.
The huge room seemed a little empty at the moment.
Alan seemed to see Old Oak again, and prepared steaks for them.
He also saw the scene where Old Oak frantically stuffed food into his stomach that day.
But the old Oak no longer exists.
After he fell into a monster, Old Oak was dead.
If you degenerate into a monster, you lose your qualification to be a human being.
Even if you are saved by a magician who violates the iron rules, you will be branded as an ugly person and spurned for the rest of your life.
But at the thought of that web of flesh and blood, Allen's heart couldn't help but hurt.
If it weren't for the time that Old Oak had bought for them, he and Mia, who had reached the end of their rope, would not have survived the arrival of President Cell.
This is one of the reasons why he insists on leaving Anna and leaving Greystone.
He didn't want anyone else to sacrifice for him anymore.
With his own special physique, he must be able to become stronger very quickly.
Following Mia, Alan thought optimistically.
Along the way, those cavalrymen had dismounted and began to maintain order and direct the reconstruction.
No one paid much attention to the two strange men in robes who passed by with their heads bowed.
Shortly after exiting the city gates, Eren and the others pulled out their skeleton horses and began to cast their magic.
The horseshoe in his hand began to burn, and in the blink of an eye, two tall skeleton horses walked out of the void.
Touching the somewhat cold bones, and turning to the back of the skeleton horse, Alan suddenly had a strange feeling.
It was as if he could control the skeleton horse's movements without speaking or moving.
It's like a heart-to-heart connection.
Back on the horse.
The day I met Frante seemed to be yesterday.
Frante was gone, but he had inherited his will and curse.
Allen's mind moved, and the skeleton horse galloped out, chasing Mia, who had already walked some distance.
Along the way, Alan and the others found a lot of blood stains and internal organ fragments.
If Alan guessed correctly, these should be the people who fled through the back gates in the first place.
The three-headed dog chased out of the back gate as soon as it appeared, was it just to kill these people?
Alan was almost 100% sure that the three-headed canine monster was Baron Angelo's fall.
No one but him would have such an obsession with deserters.
When the two traveled, they did not prepare food and water.
With their physique, they will be starving and thirsting for ten days and half a month, and there will be no problems at all.
At best, it's a little uncomfortable.
It didn't take long for them to start encountering the convoy.
The convoys were accompanied by well-equipped cavalry, and when they saw the skeleton horses at the feet of the two Ellens, their faces changed and they took the initiative to avoid them.
Two and a half days later.
The sun was slowly rising, and the sky was not yet clear.
But Alan could vaguely see a behemoth.
"Is that Boulder?"
Although he already had the answer in his mind, Alan still wanted to confirm it.
Hearing Mia's answer, Allen's heart suddenly became a little excited.
In the memories of the original owner of the body, Buckman, Boulder City was the third largest city in the Kingdom of Salos.
There are countless beautiful women in it, and there are endless gold coins......
It's wonderful enough to make people crazy for a lifetime.
But is such a big city, under the influence of magic, really as beautiful as the legend says?
Alan was skeptical.
Just as Alan stopped to watch, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind the two.
"Two adults!"
A woman's voice came from behind.
Alan and Mia turned their heads away.
It was a young woman, with blond hair draped over her shoulders, dressed in somewhat revealing sumptuous clothing, and riding a pony underneath.
"My adults want to meet you, please give you two faces. ”
The woman lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the two of them.
"Not available. ”
Mia dropped a sentence and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Alan.
"We don't know each other well, so it's good to get to know people. ”
"You don't know you well, and I'm not. ”
Mia's face was cold, and the skeleton horse beneath her began to take steps.
Seeing that Mia insisted on leaving, Alan had no choice but to follow her and did not say anything to the woman.
"My lord is willing to pay ten silver coins, and I will meet you!"
Suddenly, the woman's voice was heard behind him.
Seeing that Mia was still unmoved, Alan didn't look back, still walking on his own.
After more than two days of running, due to the long-term use of the sacrifice, the magic power that had always been abundant gradually fell into exhaustion.
It didn't take long for the two of them to decide to walk for a while to regain some of their magic.
Alan looked at the horseshoe in his hand.
After such a long period of use, the vitality inside has been lost a lot.
The blood stains on it gradually increased.
When the blood stains all over the horseshoe, the sacrifice will be destroyed.
Just then, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves behind them.
The two turned their heads away.
It's a convoy.
In the convoy, there was also a familiar figure.
It was the woman who had invited Alan and the others to meet someone not long ago.
The man in the carriage must be the adult......
Alan and the two stopped.
It seems that the other party really wants to see them.
What would be the need to trouble murderers in the eyes of ordinary people?
As the convoy approached, it gradually slowed down until it approached the two Allens.
"Please get into the carriage, two adults. ”
The woman walked up, holding two handfuls of silver coins in her hands, and stood in front of them, holding her hands with her head bowed.
"Everyone has taken the initiative to come, let's save face. ”
Alan smiled, took the silver coin, and walked towards the carriage.
He really wanted to see what the big guys of this world were like.
Mia frowned, took the silver coins as well, and followed behind Alan.
The two opened the car door and walked in.
