The vault seemed to collapse.

Huge black swirls appear in the sky, like nebulae in satellite images from previous lives.

Even ordinary people could feel the distortion of the laws of space, as if the earth was pulled into another space by the power of the Majesty caused by the confusion.

The Archmage has a more intuitive feeling.

Ten legends have teamed up to inspire the Lost Lock, and the huge magical oscillation space makes the reality of the world stand out.

The laws hidden beneath the surface of all things have never been clearer.

Master Grant and other half-step legends even have the illusion that they are only separated from the realm of legends by a layer of light veil.

This is an opportunity that can be met but not sought.

There will never be a second chance other than to advance to the Legends, making them so close to the law.

Lin An saw the law world descend again.

To be precise, it is a scene where the law and the plane are truly intertwined.

This is also the first time for Lin An.

It lasted for two days and three nights before the black hole on the other side of the horizon slowly disappeared.

No legend had heard from him, but Lin An knew that the Lost Lock had been successfully activated.

After three days and two nights of sleeplessness, most of the archmages above the town disappeared.

Some of them returned to their rooms, some ran to secluded fields, and Lin An also returned to the room he had booked.

All were eager to sort out their realizations.

……

Seven days later, Lin An left the room and walked downstairs.

The hotel was empty, and Master Herbie, who had always paid more attention to Lin An, was sitting in the hall, with half a cold goose on the plate in front of him.

"Master Lin, you're out of the customs too, you're the fifth." He greeted Lin An.

Lin An had already come back to his senses, but his language function recovered slowly, and he said slowly: "Ah, there are too many magic interferences, and they always interrupt my thoughts. ”

"You're saying that it's still Master Grant who was prescient."

He was talking about the archmages who had gone out into the wilderness, mainly those who had been inherited from the hidden world.

Lin An smiled.

"What's going on in this town, why are all the people missing?"

In Lin An's perception, not only this hotel, but the entire town is basically empty, and there is almost no popularity.

"Have you forgotten? When we stayed at the hotel, we had already revealed the news of the disaster to the owner, and it was probably because the news got out that the townspeople had fled. ”

He smiled and pointed to the cold goose in front of him with a fork:

"It's a gift from the shopkeeper and the last grain to be stored. The cooking skills of this innkeeper are not bad, you haven't come out for a few days, so I have to enjoy it alone. ”

Lin An was slightly surprised.

It sounds like this master is not in retreat.

And his attitude is also a little strange, changing the impression of silence he gave people before, and suddenly he is talkative.

However, comprehending the law is an extremely private question, and asking it will offend people, and Leng Goose has already been half eaten by Master Herbie, Lin An didn't want to eat other people's scraps, so he said a few words and left the hotel.

Master Herbie was right, the people in the town had already evacuated.

It may have been a hasty evacuation, with many gates in the streets ajar, soft furniture left in the empty buildings, and broken window lattices creaking in the wind.

Two wild dogs, abandoned by their owners, rummage through the garbage for food when they see someone appearing and burrow into the dog hole with their tails between their legs.

There are many ruts in the direction of the east gate of the town, which press deep into the gravel path.

Such a complete evacuation does not look like it was organized by the townspeople themselves.

In particular, their migration did not alarm them living in the inn at all, as if they knew the identities of the archmages and deliberately bypassed them.

Lin Anxinzhong's doubts had just risen when he was interrupted by a rapidly approaching fluctuation.

The person who came was Master Grant.

What's the matter, these half-step legends are out of the customs one earlier than the other.

Lin Anxin was surprised.

"Master Lin!"

Master Grant saw Lin An and greeted him:

"You came out just in time, the mystery lock is initially stable, but it seems that it still needs to be adjusted, you say, will the crown summon us again?"

"I don't know, but it's unlikely, after all, we can't run the Lock, we can only provide a little magic."

Disappointment crossed Master Grant's face.

Lin An understood him, and if she had the opportunity, she would also like to see the full picture of the misty lock.

It's a rare learning opportunity.

But if there is no legend to guide them, they will enter on their own, and they will definitely kill every step.

She shifted the subject, "Do you know where the townsfolk have gone?" ”

"Oh, they must have been relocated to Redstone, the closest city from here." Master Grant had just passed by the town square and saw the notice board there.

Lin An's eyes widened, his eyes dark, "What, the people of Redstone City haven't migrated yet?" Don't they know the news of the Demonic Calamity? ”

Master Grant was also wondering to himself.

The fact that the townspeople of the town did not leave can also be explained by the news blockage.

After all, this town has only about 100 households, less than 1,000 people, which is already a remote town in the southern part of the mainland.

No matter how small the cities in the southern part of the mainland are, they have a population of at least more than 10,000 and have a stable post system.

More than three months after the news of the demon disaster was made public, no matter how slow the communication speed was, as a front-line war zone, how could the evacuation order to the war zone be received.

What's more, in the two months that Lin An and his people were building the Lost Lock, they had also encountered more than a dozen villages, and they had already informed them of the news, ordering them to quickly withdraw from this area and move north.

Those villages were already empty, and it stands to reason that as soon as the villagers went out, the news would naturally spread as the population moved.

When Lin An thought about it, he also began to feel that the townspeople didn't know about it before, which was quite strange.

"Needless to say, it must be the local nobles who have blocked the news!"

Lin An and Master Grant had already noticed that someone was approaching, and as soon as they turned their heads, Master Ulysses slowly flew over.

"So, the townspeople here were arrested because they were charged with news, not for the purpose of moving?!"

Lin An was furious, "What the hell do the nobles of Red Rock City want to do!" ”

The two masters were also annoyed, but the direction of their annoyance was different from Lin An's.

"It's so bold, knowing that we are here, and still being so blatant! Do you think we don't dare to care? ”

In the memory of Master Ulysses, it has been a long time since he was provoked by his subordinates.

Anyway, there is still a glimmer of hope for the summoning of the legends, and it is in vain to wait for the past few days, and the two masters are planning to find something to do for themselves.

"Two masters, please wait a moment."

Lin An wrote a note, put it in the bracelet, and soon after, a note from Ludwig appeared in her hand.

Seeing the above content, Lin An's face sank.

"The Holy Empire has issued a war mobilization, but the Holy Noche Kingdom refuses to disclose the news of the Demon Calamity!"

The speculation was verified, and the two masters turned pale.

"In this way, those villagers who were expelled by us some time ago may have been thrown into the dungeon by those silverfish!"

They were furious.

It's a slap in the face!

……

During this time, Milou, the lord of Red Rock City, has been a little uneasy.

Leaving the ball early again, Milou, who had sobered up, was helped into the master room by the maid.

Falling on the soft big bed, the maid brought a hot towel, and the meticulous service of several pairs of soft little hands made Milu sleepy.

Suddenly, Milou suddenly woke up from his slumber, and he noticed that the sound of scrubbing water in his ears had stopped.

Inexplicably, the heart shrank suddenly, as if it was being grabbed by a big hand, and then it jumped violently.

"Awake? Don't pretend to be asleep when you wake up. ”

Voices of men and women rang out in the room, close at hand.

Milou opened his eyes, moved under the futon to the pillow, and jerked a silk rope with his hand, drawing a sharp dagger at the same time.

- Bell bell bell bell!

The shrill and rapid ringing of bells rang in the cloister and spread into the distance.

Milou held his breath and waited for more than ten breaths, only to find that the expected footsteps to come to the rescue did not sound at all.

Bell Bell ......

The big bell downstairs struck twelve.

Miluhoran realized that he had been asleep for less than two quarters of an hour, and that it was supposed to be the climax of the ball, but the music downstairs had long since fallen silent.

No, not just downstairs.

The entire courtyard, and even the entire City Lord's Mansion, fell into a dead silence in less than two quarters of an hour.

Milou was shocked and frightened.

The Holy Empire under the rule of the Holy See is a desert of mages, and the Holy Noche, as the most loyal lackey, is extremely strict in the arrest of mages.

In this water dungeon under the city lord's mansion, I don't know how many heretics have been imprisoned who have exposed their traces, Milu has watched those desperate mages wagging their tails and begging for mercy at his feet since he was a child, and he has never really felt the horror of mages like today.

"You—what do you want to do?"

"It depends on what you do."

The voice that was neither male nor female asked indifferently, "Where did those villagers who migrated out of the plateau some time ago go?" ”

"What villager, I don't know uh, uh, uh......"

A piece of meat suddenly falls out of the mouth.

Milou looked down and saw that it was half a tongue.

It fell out of his mouth!

And Milou screamed in agony in hindsight.

"Shut up."

The voice stopped abruptly, no matter how hoarse it was, and Milou couldn't make a sound.

Time flies very slowly.

On the other side of the bed, the black figure moved, as if waving his hand, and Milou felt an unbearable itch in his rusty mouth, and his broken tongue grew again!

The tongue from earlier is still in my hand!

Milou's eyes bulged out and his eyes cracked, more terrified than when his tongue had been cut out.

"A lie, a tongue, understand?" The black shadow said lightly.

Milou nodded his head and was about to fall off.

Lin An lifted the mute technique.

Next, this treacherous and cunning city lord who seemed to have a deep city government answered all the questions and poured out everything Lin An wanted to know.

Lin An didn't expect that the power of nature would have such an effect when used for torture.

And the reason why the Holy Noche Kingdom blocked the news of the demonic calamity has also been clarified.

"Ten Decrees of Demonic Calamity?" Lin An said slowly, "I do remember that there is such a one-"

“…… In a country on the front line of the Demon Calamity War, its royal family and all nobles are not allowed to retreat more than 100 miles, otherwise they will be removed from their titles, deprived of their territories, and none of the nobles and their families and heirs will be left behind, and they will be killed! ”

Milu slurred his speech, and his eyes burst out with anger:

"The empire asks us to defend our territory, so forget it, who told us to enjoy hundreds of years of worship! Protecting the territory and protecting the people is the basic duty of the lord! ”

"But what is it to move our people away and tell us to defend them? The standing army in Redstone City is less than 1,000, and if you count the militia, it's only 3,000, doesn't this make our whole family die! ”
