Machur's eyes shrunk, then he realized something, and turned his head sharply to look at the hill behind him. I saw two black-robed wizard figures on the top of the hill, which were obviously their hands.

After killing more than a dozen strong men with a spell, the two wizards flew down like two big birds and landed a few meters away, one of them looked at Machu and said with a blank face: "Raven." ”

"Blue ......" Machu gasped and responded, "Blue Magpie." ”

It's a code, it's a way to verify your identity.

"Correct. The wizard who asked the question, after hearing Machu's answer, his expression softened a lot, and he stepped closer and asked, "You are the ninth in Sarin City, what's the matter, according to the agreement, didn't you go out of the city to meet us three days ago, why were you late?

"Don't talk about that yet. Machu thought of something, waved his hand and said very seriously, "Quick...... Quickly contact the above, I just confirmed the news yesterday that several cities such as Gray Forest City are going to launch a new attack, and the danger level may be at the level of a catastrophic disaster!"

"Berserk?!" the wizard was stunned.

In Sharin's evaluation system, there are three levels of attacks against enemies in the New Era, namely Beast, Tide, and Scourge.

The beast level is relatively common and relatively simple to deal with. The frenzy level is relatively small, and to deal with it, it generally requires special troop adjustments.

As for the Plague level, it is the highest level, which means that all the cities of the sarin system are in danger and need to be dealt with extremely seriously, and the use of black weapons is inevitable. In the three years of the New Era, there have been two times in this situation, and if Machu is right, then this is the third time.

"Berserk?" are you sure?" the wizard couldn't help but confirm.

"Do you think I've been hungry in the city for more than a month, and I've almost died several times, just to joke with you now?" Machu couldn't help but urge, urging the wizard, "Quick...... Hurry up and contact the above, the enemy is likely to have already moved, and it will be too late a little later!"

The two wizards looked at each other, no longer hesitating, and the older one quickly took out the crystal ball from his bosom and injected mana into it.

......

Inside the office car of the locomotive traveling.

"What's the danger?" said Kent Bob, the locomotive captain, who did not answer the porter immediately, but smiled and reached for the metal cylinder in the corner of his desk.

Twist the top half of the cylinder to reveal more than half of the roasted wheat inside—these grains of wheat that were common in the old era were rare at this time, and were considered a light luxury.

Bob carefully pinched more than a dozen grains and put them in his half-used teacup, and a sensible driver took the initiative to bring hot water to help Bob make wheat tea.

Bob took a blow and took a sip of hot tea before he spoke.

"Danger, of course. You've been running with me in Redstone, or near Redstone, so you haven't experienced it. But as it is now, when you are far away from Redstone, you have to be mentally prepared.

Now, no more than ever, the wilderness is very dangerous. Ever since the sun was gone, a whole bunch of strange creatures have popped up on the ground - and I don't know where they came from.

Around the city, you haven't seen them, they have been cleared, but in the depths of the wilderness, they can't be cleared, and they will appear from time to time.

They are often very brutal, and they have many incredible special abilities, which are simply not something that we ordinary people can deal with, and they encounter ten deaths. Actually, it's nothing if we die, after all, we are like us, and we grab a lot of them in the city, and one group of dead people will have another group to work. But the goods on the car are different, and some of them are very valuable, much more valuable than our lives. It can't be destroyed by strange creatures in any case, so in this case, there will be an escort following the car.

With the escort, encountering a small group of strange creatures can be easily solved, the goods can be saved, and our lives cannot be lost. Therefore, those escorts are majestic, after all, they are the ones who can save our lives, be polite to them. ”

The crew nodded when they heard this, but someone still asked cautiously: "Locomotive commander, you said that if you encounter a small group of strange creatures, those escorts can solve it." Does it mean that they can't solve a large number of strange creatures......? Isn't there a guarantee of absolute safety?"

"Absolutely?" Bob said, glancing at the questioner, "You've just figured it out? I'm telling you, as long as you get on this locomotive, you can't be 100% safe." If a locomotive has an accident, it can kill people, and if there is a problem with the rails, it can also kill people. If you're unlucky, like you said, if you encounter a large number of strange creatures, you will die cleanly. The work on the locomotive, that's it, it's nothing if nothing happens, it's a big deal when something happens. That's why all of you, and I, are paid so well – and that's what pays off, and what comes at a cost. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed differently.

Bob glanced at it and said, "Of course, in most cases, we are still safe, and the probability of an accident is very small." Take the strange creatures for example, a large number of strange creatures are indeed unstoppable, but they only appear at very special times. Usually, small groups of strange creatures are not easy to encounter.

I can tell you that there were so many people in the whole carriage, but the only ones who had personally encountered a small group of strange creatures were me and Frank. So, this time, there is a high probability that we will not run into anything, and the escort is just prepared. ”

"Isn't it, Frank?" said Bob, looking at a man cowering in the corner, and asked in a very affirmative tone, "You don't think you're going to encounter strange creatures this time, do you?"

When they heard this, they all looked over and looked at the man named Frank.

Speaking of which, Frank is also an alternative to locomotives, having been working on locomotives and is very old. But I seem to have been a soldier in the old era, and I was stimulated by the war, so I was silent and barely spoke on weekdays.

Frank's explanation is that he is a more unlucky person, and every time he says something good, it will always lead to a bad result, and it is easy to bring everyone with him bad luck, so it is better to talk as little as possible.

Naturally, no one believes him, they just think that he is a bit weird.

When Philip first started working, he tried to make contact with the other party, but the other party just looked at him with his eyes and did not say a word, and then Philip did not make similar attempts again.

What I really didn't expect was that such a person would have encountered strange creatures...... Philip also looked at each other curiously.

Under the gaze of many people, it was naturally impossible for Frank to remain silent and not speak, but he didn't want to cause any bad luck because of his words, so he said vaguely: "Strange creatures...... Maybe I won't meet it this time, maybe it's ......"

As a result, before he could finish his words, he heard a series of sudden hissing noises outside the moving locomotive.

"Hiss~Roar~"

Everyone was stunned.

Locomotive Captain Bob's face changed slightly.

Frank let out a long sigh.

"Ahh

......
