Travel (XXXI)

Mia nodded slightly, opening her lips slightly, "Originally, there were only two of us who were magicians here, and in such a short period of time, they would not be consumed by the power of desire. ”

She crouched down and looked at the pool of dark blood beneath her feet.

"It's a sign of sacrifice. ”

"Did President Hulls do it?"

Eren suddenly thought of the man with wings.

Five-star magician, can you sacrifice so many monsters at the same time?

Hearing Alan's words, Mia thought for a moment, "It should be." ”

A few people walked through the city gate towards the town.

There was not the slightest sign of people on the street, only a continuous stream of blood and stumps.

"Frank, what is it to be eaten by the power of desire?"

Alan asked in his mind as he walked.

"When the monsters were defeated and turned into their original forms, the huge power of desire still existed in their bodies and did not dissipate. ”

"If there is no magician to perform sacrifices, or to neutralize the power of desire with magic and turn it into an ugly person, the monster will explode because it cannot withstand the great power. ”

"Trust me, you don't want to see them explode on their own, and once they do, the scattered power of desire and the scattered souls of the monsters will merge, and even new monsters will be born. ”

"The only way to seal their sinful souls with their own bodies and draw strength from them is the safest way. ”

After answering Alan's question, Front closed his mouth again.

As soon as the three of them entered the main street of Greystone, Alan and Anna led Mia towards Anna's bakery.

As the three of them walked through a messy street, a figure flickered in the attic window of a nearby house.

"Hey, is it safe?"

Some old voices came from the attic.

"Well, it's okay!"

Anna shouted.

Hearing Anna's voice, there was a movement of doors opening in several surrounding houses.

A person poked his head out of the door, looking at the blood around him, and he was a little afraid.

"Little Anna?"

An old man stepped down from the attic where the voice had come from earlier, pushed open the door, and walked briskly to the three Allens.

"What about the Baron?"

The old man barely had any hair on the top of his head, his cloudy eyes sunken deeply, and his voice was weak.

"Lord Baron......"

Anna turned to look at Alan.

Alan, they should know where Baron Angelo is now.

Alan lowered his head and didn't say anything.

Even though there was no direct discussion between Alan and Mia, they had already concluded that Baron Angelo was dead.

As for whether the three-headed dog monster was degenerated by Baron Angelo, they didn't know very well.

With the baron's inhuman physique and extreme desires, it is entirely possible to become a two-star monster.

But Old Oak once said that in a remote place like Graystone Town, two-star monsters are already the limit, and it is almost impossible to appear three-star monsters, so only Mia will be sent to come.

How did that three-headed dog appear?

While Alan was pondering, the people around him saw that Alan did not have the slightest desire to speak, and they suddenly realized something and felt a little difficult to breathe.

"What are we going to do without the Baron......"

"The young people are dead, and the whole town of Greystone is gone......"

Most of these people who hid were old, weak, sick and disabled, so they did not go to the city gate to fight.

Now they sat on the ground, bowed their heads, and sighed.

There were even some old women who began to wipe away their tears.

The bald old man who spoke first also sighed and walked towards his house.

Alan looked at the old man's back and waited until he disappeared from view before withdrawing his gaze.

"It's okay! Reinforcements will arrive in two days, and they will definitely be fine by then!"

Seeing everyone's desperate looks, Anna suddenly became a little anxious.

But the men ignored her, and each walked slowly towards his house.

Alan silently took it all in.

He had long seen that every townsfolk in Greystone regarded Baron Angelo as their spiritual leader.

Graystone Town, it might as well be called Angelo Town.

As soon as Baron Angelo had an accident, the soul of the entire town was scattered, and coupled with the tragedy of this war, even if there was a rescue from Boulder City, I am afraid that Greystone Town would cease to exist.

Turning his head, Alan glanced at Mia.

She still had the same cold face, as if she didn't care much about everything.

Looking back, Anna actually cried.

Her nose twitched, her eyes red.

"Alan, I'm afraid of the ...... of Greystone"

Seeing this scene, Alan involuntarily held her in his arms.

"It's okay, I'm here. ”

He patted Anna gently on the shoulder, his brows full of distress.

Mia looked at the two of them, snorted coldly, turned her head, and looked with interest at a corpse on the ground without a left arm, whose whole body was gnawed by rats.

When Anna's mood finally calmed down a little, the three of them arrived at the bakery.

The storefront, which used to be neat, is now a mess.

The smashed tables and chairs and the slight blood stains on the walls made people shudder.

Hurriedly making a few large pieces of rye bread, Anna hurriedly handed the plate to Alan and Mia.

"Is it delicious?"

Anna's eyes widened as she watched as Alan put rye bread in her mouth.

"Delicious. ”

With a bulging mouth, Alan said with some slurredness.

A big smile suddenly appeared on Anna's face.

Looking at the smile that seemed to heal everything, Alan's heart became heavier and heavier.

The more beautiful things are, the more uncomfortable they will be when you give up.

On the second floor of the bakery, there are several rooms.

Before Alan could speak, Anna ran to boil the bath water.

Mia stood next to Alan, looked at Alan's side face, and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Alan shook his head and didn't speak.

This is the first time that a girl has been so devoted to him.

"It's good to have fun, but don't get caught up in it. ”

Looking at Allen's embarrassed appearance, Mia couldn't help but laugh.

"You're very experienced. ”

Alan turned his head and said to Mia, looking at Mia's somewhat dirty, but still stunning pretty face.

But Mia avoided his gaze for the first time and looked away.

"Magicians don't die well, this is the experience of several generations. ”

With that as she said that, she walked over to Anna's side.

Alan leaned against the wall alone, looking at the wooden floor.

A few minutes later, Anna's voice came from the front.

"The water is boiling, let's take a bath. ”

Alan took a deep breath and walked over.

"It's coming. ”

Throwing his tattered, bloodstained leather armor and clothes on the ground, Alan lifted his feet and stepped into the tub.

The water was a little hot, but his heart was a little cold.

Slowly sitting down, feeling the blood on his body gradually dissipate under the baptism of hot water, Allen closed his eyes.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and raised his right hand to look at the devil's mouth.

The devil's mouth kept sticking out its slender tongue and licking its palms, rows of jagged sharp teeth showing hideous from time to time.

Is this a magician's curse?

He touched the tongue with his left hand, and instead of retracting it, it licked Allen's left hand.

According to Frank, as long as the mouth is not replenished by sacrifice for a period of time, it will choose to devour the host's life force, causing the mage to have to kill.

Alan looked up and put his hands down weakly.

Suddenly, a crack opened in the door.

Alan looked at a petite but familiar figure.

At this moment, Anna is wearing only a thin bath towel.

"Anna...... You ......"

Before Alan could finish speaking, Anna had already walked in front of him.

"Don't speak. ”

Anna stretched out her white fingers and put them to Alan's lips, rubbing them gently.

......

......

"Dash...... Da ...... Da ......"

Water droplets keep dripping from the hair.

Alan walked over to the somewhat worn bronze mirror.

The mirror was full of mist, and he reached out and wiped it until his figure was clearly printed in the mirror.

A short black hair, fair skin, and a thin body.

Nothing seems to have changed.

Except for the right hand.

The whole arm flashed red from time to time, and the demon mouth in the palm of the palm kept sticking out its slender tongue and licking the palm of the hand.

It's hungry.

There had been countless dying monsters in front of it, but it didn't cherish them.

If Heaven could give it a chance to do it all over again,

It will definitely eat Alan first.

Alan was just about to turn around, but a petite figure appeared in front of him.

"Go to your room. ”

Anna was draped in a bath towel and blushed.

Before Alan could speak, Anna threw a bath towel at him, then opened the door and walked out.

This......

Alan looked down at the white bath towel, and waited until Anna urged outside the door before he answered and walked out.

The two went to Allen's room.

Anna sat on the bed.

"Magician, I heard you're very powerful?"

Raising her willow eyebrows, Anna lifted her legs up and placed them on the bed, a smile on her lips.

"It's not awesome, you'll know right away. ”

......

Hearing movement in the next room, Mia lay on the bed, her eyes staring straight at the ceiling.

The hardwood bed slats are a little uncomfortable.

"Alas......"

Mia sighed.

"Let's hope he won't regret it in the future. ”

......

......

By the time Alan woke up, the sun was already shining through the window.

It was the most comfortable day he'd slept in since he had crossed over.

Thinking of last night's madness, Alan couldn't help but turn red-faced.

Lowering her head, Anna was lying in his arms, looking at him with big eyes.

"Awake?"

Alan smiled.

"Hmm. ”

Lowering her head, Anna's fingers were rubbing the thin quilt.

Alan was about to sit up, but was suddenly pulled by Anna.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the body buried deep in his arms, Alan was a little overwhelmed.

"You...... Do you think I'm a ...... Casual woman?"

Raising her head slightly, Anna looked at Eren with watery eyes in her eyes, as if she might cry at any moment.

“......”

"I was in that bucket yesterday and I saw blood. ”

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Allen's mouth.

Hearing Alan's words, Anna's pretty face suddenly became extremely hot.

"Everyone says magicians are murderers, but my mother told me from a young age that you are heroes. ”

"You killed people to protect everyone, and according to my mother, you have to endure a lot of torture. ”

"The main thing is, you saved me......"

Anna buried her head and whispered.

"Okay, it's okay. ”

Reaching out, Alan gently rubbed Anna's head.

Although he was a little unbearable, Alan still planned to be open and honest.

"When reinforcements arrive, I'll leave Greystone. ”

"Yes...... Really?"

Although she had been prepared, Anna's nose was sour, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

"Don't cry, I can't help it. ”

Alan couldn't see a woman crying the most, and this time he panicked again.

"I ...... I understand......"

Anna began to wipe away tears, and I felt pity.

"Alas......"

Alan looked at the tongue that kept sticking out of the devil's mouth on his right hand, and his heart was full of grievances.

This fucking world!

It took a while for Anna to calm down.

"I'm going to make you and Sister Mia breakfast. ”

Anna ran out with a bath towel draped and a blushing face.

Alan told her Mia's name.

Opening the closet, Alan found his father's clothes that Anna had told him.

The material is a little rough, but there are no holes.

It's a little big, but it's better than wearing that tattered leather armor.

Alan walked out of the room to the room where the tub had been placed yesterday and took out the sacrificial bag from under his leather armor.

There was also the broken sword left behind by the three-headed dog.

The leather armor full of holes probably couldn't stop anything, so Alan put it aside casually and walked down from the second floor.

Mia is already up.

She was sitting at a table, her robe draped, and her full face could not be seen, only her chin and a slight tip of her hair could be faintly seen.

Anna was busy working on bread in the kitchen.

Alan sat across from Mia.

"As soon as reinforcements arrive, we'll go to Boulder City. ”

As soon as Alan sat down, Mia said.

"That's what I thought, too. ”

After speaking, the two fell silent until Anna came up with a plate of bread.

For nutrition, she also specially prepared two hard-boiled eggs for Alan and Mia.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Alan grabbed the bread that was still a little hot, took a bite, looked at Anna sitting beside him, and asked.

"Eat first. ”

The corners of Anna's mouth were full of smiles.

"Eat some, don't go hungry. ”

Alan ripped off a slice of bread in his hand and placed it in front of Anna's mouth.

Anna only felt two fiery clouds rise on her face, and she bit down despite the fact that Mia was watching.

Mia didn't swallow the dog food that was stuffed in front of her.

The robe obscured her expression, and she kept her head down, silently eating her bread.

After yesterday's high-intensity battle, a night's rest has allowed the two of them to recover a lot.

The ruined town of Greystone has nothing to care about.

The calmness of the magic can greatly reduce the efficiency of the creation of monsters, and they don't have to worry too much about safety.

In the past two days, Alan and Anna have been like glue, and Mia saw it in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Until two days later.
