Chapter 69: The Trap of Turmoil (I)

Although Kahlan had no intention of destroying the entire town of Wimpal from the beginning, after all, if things got bigger, it would definitely not end well, and if he accidentally implicated himself, he had reason to believe that Master Farnes would never vouch for him.

But Kahlan knew better that those people were definitely not under his control - in order to ensure the success of the raid on the castle, he took most of his cronies and more capable men with him.

And the people responsible for causing the commotion are the thugs in Gumu Town, mixed with mercenaries who want to make a fortune, and wandering wizards who are full of revenge on the world.

By the time the first scoundrel broke open the door of a house, screamed and begged for mercy, brandished a torch and a sharp blade, and dragged out triumphantly with the bloodied woman and her belongings, the whole situation was out of control......

The only guards in the town, before they could figure out what was going on, were killed by the mob's assault. The blazing streets were filled with the roars of thugs and mercenaries, rushing into any house in high spirits, snatching everything they wanted with torches and weapons in their hands.

The sleeping villagers don't even know what is happening, and they die tragically in their sleep by poisoners and flames, and any one guy can snatch the rich spoils of war, and the whole town becomes their playground.

As for the wandering wizards with hateful eyes, they frantically recruited ghouls in the wild, roaming the streets like ghosts, wantonly shooting any ordinary person who dared to stand in their way with their wands, enjoying the thrill of revenge.

Although those crude spells could not penetrate the knight's armor at all, they were still invincible against ordinary people. They don't want any wealth at all, they just want to hear the screams of those who despised them in the past, before they die......

Killing, looting, arson, screaming...... The town in a panic is turning into a sea of fire street by street!

In front of the butcher's knife and the monster, there was not even a single villager who could stand up and resist, only to see one after another kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and fleeing in fear, being pressed to the ground in the midst of cruel laughter.

The knight sent by the Farnesis to spy on Kahlan was completely stunned. With just a few dozen thugs, a small village and town has turned into a hell in the Holy Cross scriptures!

Standing in the streets, he was surrounded by burning houses and fallen bones, and in the distance he could hear the screams of women and children crying, but he didn't even know what to do with the hilt of his sword. It's impossible to stop the thugs and wandering wizards.

What are you doing, is this really for the Holy Cross?

If working with a blasphemous wandering wizard like Kahlan had only confused the knight before, now he was completely confused.

Is this what Master Farnesis is talking about purification, or is it that he misunderstood that everything was a conspiracy of the wandering wizard named Karan?

Yes, it must be, it must be his conspiracy, everything was planned by him!, the knight, who was struggling on the verge of madness, quickly found a reason for himself, slowly and firmly grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and drew his sharp long sword.

Since this is his conspiracy, then you must stop him and then kill him!

.................." The village is finished. ”

Dalton Kander, who had stepped down from the tower, conveyed the situation outside to Peter and the wizards, who were still waiting anxiously, in the shortest and most powerful words.

"What's going on, why are these people attacking villages and towns?" a wizard in black robes, also wearing black robes, looked at Dalton and Peter in confusion, "I thought those wandering wizards were targeting us. ”

"Indeed, this is exactly the trap they have set to lure us out of the castle. Dalton's voice was not emotional: "Without the protection of the city walls, we are definitely no match for those thugs." ”

"Then what should I do? Looking at the villages and towns, if this continues, I am afraid that there will not even be a living person!"

"If someone were going out to die, I would never object. Dalton looked at the wizard who opened his mouth with a cold gaze: "But remember, the safety of the academy comes first, and there are also dozens of young apprentices in the castle who are unarmed!"

"I know how dangerous this is, but it's just as dangerous to see the village and town finish!" the wizard also argued, "The church won't let us go if it knows it!"

"It's just possible, and we can resist. Dalton still did not let go: "But if you go out now, you will step into the enemy's trap, and you will definitely die." ”

"You ......" the wizard was about to continue his retort when another figure with a sword walked past him, shrugged his shoulders as if helplessly, and stopped in front of Dalton.

"Let me go, Mentor. Loren smiled indifferently and looked at the black-robed wizard: "Anyway, I'm not an apprentice at Wimpal Academy, and you won't worry about my life or death, and you can alleviate such an embarrassing atmosphere - you see, it's a good idea!"

Dalton wasn't amused by him, and the atmosphere was even more awkward.

"You're the Academy's apprentice, Loren. Peter's voice came from behind him, and the old man's wrinkled palm pressed against Loren's shoulder: "And I will not let the apprentice die for me." ”

"Dalton, a few more come with me, and we'll help the village guards. Pushing the lenses on the bridge of his nose, Peter's flat tone was inaudible and inaudible: "The rest of you, please stay in the castle with the older apprentices and protect our academy." ”

Several wizards looked at each other, but finally bowed their heads slightly, and accepted Peter's arrangement. After all, this is still the dean of the Wimpal Academy, and even if he is old, he is one of the few excellent wizards in the entire dukedom.

Only Dalton obviously couldn't accept such an arrangement, and before Peter left, he tugged on his sleeve: "You really can't see it, this is the other party's trap?!"

"Of course I know, Dalton. Peter sighed, "Your biggest problem is that you are very willing to trust people, this is a good opportunity, why can't you try to trust other wizards, as well as your apprentices?"

"He's not my apprentice!" the black-robed wizard replied with an eyebrow raised.

"But he is! You taught him yourself, and you gave him the 'spellcaster' - according to the rules of wizards from ancient times to the present, giving a wand is an apprentice recognized by the mentor, and he is already a qualified wizard!" Peter shook his head regretfully: "Someday, you will regret your words today." ”

"Never!"

"I've had enough of your stubbornness. The old man sighed and beckoned to Loren, who was still standing. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and Loren hurriedly stepped forward, looking at a loss.

"Listen, Loren Turin, I don't see you as an apprentice, but as a wizard, asking you to protect the Wimpal Academy. The old man's tone was full of unquestionable power: "Stay in the main fortress, once the walls are breached, you are the last line of defense." If there are too many enemies......"

Speaking of this, the old man's tone trembled a little, and he actually glanced around in a panic, and lowered his voice: "Then you can escape with Isaac and Ain, there is a path behind the main castle to the top of the mountain, run as far as you can, and leave here forever!"

It was the first time that Loren had seen such a dejected look in the old man's eyes, and it really did not match the image he remembered. So I had to ask tentatively: "But those people don't want to ......"

"If they really want it, give it to them, if that Mr. Karan really has the ability. Peter shook his head: "He who is consumed by ambition never knows what he is up against. ”

Loren nodded almost subconsciously, and the old man, who straightened his waist again, breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to himself, as if to say to Loren and Dalton:

"Vimpal College is a lifelong dream of mine. But since it's a dream, there will be a day when you wake up, nothing to be afraid of!"
