Chapter XXII
"You...... Don't come here!"
Looking at Allen, who was slowly walking towards him, the man's legs trembled even more.
As soon as he thought that he hadn't even reacted just now, he fainted, and the man, who was still fierce and vicious, was almost scared to cry at this moment.
Alan walked up to him, his hand gripping the man's wrist like a pincer.
With a little force, the man couldn't help but scream, and his hand involuntarily let go of the knife, and the knife was held by Alan with his other hand.
"Let's go. ”
Alan didn't look back and said.
Hearing this, the woman glanced at the man and walked quickly out of the alley.
As far as she knew, those who fell into the hands of magicians often did not end well.
Alan let go of the man's hand, grabbed the blade of the knife with one hand, and pressed lightly.
The man looked at the blade that was bent under the great force, and then at Allen's bandaged right hand, and suddenly thought of something.
"You...... You're a magician......"
The man in despair sat on the ground, unable to resist at all.
"Any last words?"
Alan looked condescendingly at the man's face without the slightest emotion in his eyes.
"Huh...... Hehe...... You poor wretched ......"
"Every day we are born and die, and in the end we will be insulted and treated like street rats......"
The man suddenly started laughing, and he looked up at Allen.
"I remember one time when I was passing through the wilderness and found a seriously injured female magician, and she actually asked me for help......"
"How could I possibly save a murderer, I pretended to want to help her, and then ......"
The man's face was excited, and he was about to say something when he felt a cold hand brush his cheek.
"This ...... What is this?"
He touched his face and looked at the viscous liquid on his hands, and there was some confusion on his face.
The next moment, a bloody mouth appeared in front of his eyes.
"Ahhhhh......h
The man screamed in pain, his body trembling incessantly, and the life force in his body gathered together and was devoured by the devil's mouth.
The screams coming from the dark and remote alleys had no effect on the noise of the outside world.
The place that a man chooses for himself ends up being his own burial place.
"Scum. ”
Afterwards, looking at the pool of fresh blood on the ground, Alan couldn't help but spit on it, wiped his blood-stained clothes, and walked quickly out of the alley.
"Frank, I got a mask-like offering. ”
"It's supposed to be a transformation sacrifice, a sacrifice that can perform magic as long as it is activated with magic and then put on the face. ”
The mask was full of cracks, and it was estimated that it could only be used again, and Alan couldn't test it even if he wanted to, so he had to give up.
After learning about the mask from Frank, Alan wandered the streets for a while, finding nothing out of the ordinary, and returned to Afaryon's temporary office for lunch.
This was also the meeting time he and Old Oak had agreed to meet.
"I met a robber and I solved it. ”
Alan said as he munched on the fresh, tender beef.
For him after so many things, killing a scumbag will not bring him much emotional fluctuation.
"I ran into a rapist and solved it. ”
Mia still kept her head down, even though she was eating, but she couldn't see her face hidden by the wide cloak.
"With the riot of the magic power, there should be more and more cases of committing adultery......
Old Oak sighed, and lost his appetite for food.
After living for so long, he had only seen this kind of thing in Aparyon's books, and it was the first time he had experienced it personally.
A few people had just finished their lunch when there was a knock on the door.
Alan opened the door and was a guard.
"Lord Magician, Lord Baron wants to see you. ”
The guard's eyes were erratic, his head bowed, and his fingers kept buttoning the sleeves of his leather coat.
"Okay, I see, we'll get over later. ”
Alan turned around and saw that Old Oak both nodded, and then said.
When the guards heard Allen's words, they hurried away.
"Baron Angelo let us over, it can't be that last night's incident was exposed, right?"
Walking down the street with Old Oak, Alan was a little worried.
"It's impossible, and even if it's exposed, he won't dare to turn his face with us. ”
"Mia is right, you two are one of the most important forces in Greystone right now, plus your actions are also for the safety of Greystone, as long as Angelo is not sick in his brain, he knows what to do. ”
"Old Oak, why don't you have magic powers, but you can be the manager of a temporary office?"
Alan asked suddenly.
Ever since he first met Old Oak, he had been very curious.
Ordinary people either dislike magicians or stay away from them, and the only one Alan has ever seen who takes the initiative to serve magicians like Old Oak.
"My love, is a magician. ”
Old Oak hesitated, his voice a little muffled.
"I'm sorry. ”
"It's okay, it's all old. “
Several people soon came to the door of the administrative hall.
Baron Angelo was already standing in the doorway, waiting.
But to Allen's surprise, there were two black hounds standing beside him.
The two hounds were huge and fierce, like two tigers, and looked like they could hurt at any moment.
"Hello Magicians, this is my most faithful companions, Duru and Gary. ”
Baron Angelo shook hands with Alan and the others, and then pointed to the two hounds staring at him, with a gentle smile on his face.
"It's a guest, a little respect. ”
As soon as Baron Angelo finished saying this, the two hounds, who were still tense and roared from time to time, suddenly relaxed their bodies and began to wag their tails.
"Duru and Gary weren't very friendly to strangers, they just listened to me, which made the adults laugh. ”
Baron Angelo led the three Alan into the door and walked towards the office on the top floor.
"They saved my life in the big war, so they are not pets to me, but relatives who are more important than friends. ”
Duru and Gary crouched in the doorway, quietly watching Alan and the others go upstairs.
"Speaking of which, Duru and Gary once ate a goblin together, causing them to have a little mutation, adults should never treat them as monsters, they are loyal dogs. ”
When it comes to his dog, Baron Angelo seems to have a lot to say.
By the time he finished speaking, several people had already arrived at the door of the office.
"I'm inviting adults here today to talk about the increase in the number of monsters around me. ”
Baron Angelo sat behind his desk, looking at the Alan and the others in front of him, his face became serious.
"According to the villagers who fled, many of the more remote villages had fallen under the attack of the monsters, and the poor people did not even have a chance to escape to Greystone. ”
Angelo opened one of the scrolls on the table, looking a little sad.
"There's plenty of space in Greystone right now, but when all the villagers from the outside villages come to take refuge, the city will become crowded. ”
"These are nothing, what I'm most worried about is the monster siege ......"
