【Chapter 403】 Arabe's disappearance
Regarding Qin Song's identity and origin, without permission, Harald very consciously kept it a secret. Of course, this is also a certain sense of superiority of his.
After this battle, the strength of the Black Stone Leader was once again affirmed, as long as he followed Qin Song steadfastly, Harald firmly believed that his life would become incomparably brilliant.
Qin Song took the witches to make a brief appearance at the celebration banquet, and immediately summoned the officers above the sergeant level of the army to the conference hall and began to formulate a new version of the army rank plan.
......
"Iluri, Iluri, have you heard?"
There are few customers at Eruli's delicious bakery, and Eruli is lazily lying on a recliner in the corner, enjoying a leisurely rest time. Business was dismal, not because the taste of bread had changed, but because the supply of flour had been interrupted.
The purple-haired elf Iliel came to her side with some anxiety and patted her on the shoulder.
"What's the matter?" Eliel, what are you panicking, yawning......" Iluri opened her eyes and yawned lazily over her shoulders.
"Arabe has issued a lockdown order!"
"Lockdown order, what lockdown order?" Iluri still looked nonchalant: "It can't be that the fish monsters are coming, right? Aren't they usually far from the coast? It's really unlucky, just made a lot of money, and this kind of unfortunate thing happened." Well, now that the city is closed, flour is hard to buy. ”
"No, Iruli. Iliel looked around for a moment, leaned into her ear and muttered: "A lot of strange things have happened in the city recently, just after the curfew, many strange things have happened, and many people who were fine during the day have disappeared without a trace." ”
"Tell me clearly, what's weird? what's missing?"
"I don't know, but now there are knights patrolling the streets every night. In addition, many places have been cordoned, including those with refugee settlements that have fled to the cities. ”
"Where's Rena?" Eluri frowned slightly, "Did she go looking for a flour supplier again?"
"Hmm. ”
"Rena, Rena. Oh no, no. ”
A panicked voice came from outside the store, and little Joel stumbled into the store, crying, "Something's wrong, there's an accident! Rena, Rena." ”
"Rena isn't here, tell me something. I'll have the final say here!" Iluri grabbed little Joel by the collar to stop him from scurrying, "Stop me, so panicked." ”
"Joel, what's wrong? Don't you want to stay at home and don't run around?" Iliel squatted down and held his shoulder: "It's not been peaceful outside lately. ”
"Bitten, Uncle Carlin, they've been bitten. Little Joel's face was full of snot and tears, and his eyes were full of horror.
"What did you bite? ”
"I don't know, I don't know. Woo, it's terrible, on the arms, legs, and chest, the flesh and blood of the bite are blurred, as if they have been bitten by wolves. ”
"Wolves? Eliel, close the door. Let's go back and see. By the way, remember to leave a note for Rena. Realizing that something was wrong, Iruli picked up little Joel and hurried out of the store.
"Woo woo, Iruli, Uncle Carlin looks so scary. ”
"Don't cry, you're going to be annoyed to death. "Iruli has a stinky face, her mouth is unforgiving, but her mood is anxious.
After passing through several depressed streets and alleys in a row, I finally saw the gate of the courtyard, and when I opened the gate, I saw a large group of people around the courtyard, who were chattering and shouting.
"Carlin, hold on, it's almost bandaged!"
"He's bleeding too much, too much!"
"Oh my God, his neck, be careful. ”
Putting down little Joel, he pushed away the crowd, only to see a person with blurred flesh and blood, covered in red and white cloth, lying in the middle of the courtyard, his head was covered with blood, and the right side of his chin was even more fleshy and rolled, like a huge wound that had been torn by a wild beast, and the blood was constantly gushing, no matter how he wrapped it in cloth, it could not be stopped.
Eluri crouched down beside Carlin and asked anxiously, "What happened? Do any of you know what happened to Carlin?"
"Iluri. The aunt, who was in charge of bandaging Carlin, said like a cannon: "Carlin, Sokham, and Piseco went to fetch water this morning, and they haven't been back for a long time, and we sent a few people to look for them, and we found that Carlin has become like this. He fell not far from the well, and no one could see what was happening. ”
"Fetching water, fetching water, how did fetching water become like this. Sokem, what about Piseco?"
The water for the entire estate comes from a canal in the southern suburbs, which draws water from the river outside the city into the urban river in the business district, the castle district and the mage district of Arabe, and in order to supply dozens of people, Carlin and Sockham and Piseko have to go back and forth several times a day to fetch water.
"I didn't find it, but I found a lot of blood. Oh my God, what happened. The aunt's voice trembled: "There is a beast in the city, there must be a beast in the city." ”
Puff puff......
Kalin's mouth spurted several mouthfuls of foul black blood, and his dull eyes seemed to notice Iluri, and he grabbed Iluri's hand, his lips trembling rapidly, making a muffled sound.
Blood splattered with the wriggling of his throat, and it was impossible to make out what he was saying.
However, this is only a flashback for Carlin.
His chest was like a broken bellows, struggling and agitating, but he soon lost his voice, and the light in his eyes was completely frozen.
Eluli tightened her blood-stained hand and shook her head slightly.
Carlin was also a member of this big family of refugees, and it was unacceptable for everyone to die a miserable death like this. But Iluri clearly understands that now is not the time to grieve.
"Eliel, call the sisters and bring their weapons. We're going to find Sokem and Piseco's whereabouts. Yiluli kept her expression calm: "The rest of the people, lock the door immediately, and don't open any outsiders who knock on the door." And Carlin...... Find someone to clean him up, and I hope he can leave this world cleanly. ”
"Eliel, what are you still doing!"
"Ah, yes, Iruli. ”
In order to keep a low profile in the city, the elves bought this courtyard for the southern city of Arabe, in fact, the urban area established when the city was opened up, the building generally has a long history, after the business became more and more developed, better and more gorgeous east city, west city, north city and central area, have been established.
This is the old town, and it is far better to build a new one than to tear it down and renovate it. As a result, it gradually became desolate and degraded, becoming a gathering place for the lower classes of the city, homeless people, gangs of thieves, gangs, and not all humans, including many aliens, some of whom were sold as slaves.
Eluri's first instinct was that Karin had been plundered, and it was most likely that they were not human, but a humanoid race with sharp teeth.
"Be careful, everyone, it's not peaceful here. ”
Leading seven or eight sisters with sharp blades, Eruli and the others walked through the overgrown and ruined paths, vigilantly approaching the direction of the canal.
Soon, with her keen sense of smell, Iruli could smell blood from the blowing wind.
The barren grass that grew by the canal, and the grass blades and stalks were splashed with red blood, and they fell down in patches, spreading out seven or eight meters away.
"It's like having experienced a short fight. Eluri bent down and cut through the weeds with her scimitar, revealing the footprints hidden within: "This is where the fight began, and the victim was facing the canal. Looking at it again, the footprints began to show blood, indicating that the fight had begun. And finally here, spurts of blood, and indentations from falls. ”
"Iluri, come and see. This footprint doesn't seem to be human!"
