"Close the door!"

With a little sadness, a wizard standing outside the hall of the main castle raised his wand and shouted with all his might. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info With the creak of the doorway spinning and the dust falling from the ceiling, the entire hall sank into a dead silence.

The apprentices hiding in all corners of the hall looked at each other and hugged each other to keep warm, and in this darkness, no one dared to make a sound.

Fear was almost written on their faces, and some even began to sob, or they felt sorry for why they didn't go with the person who left, as if even the smell of "fear" was in the air.

Abbot Peter and a few of the mentors left, while the remaining mentors and the older apprentices held on to the castle outside, leaving only the most ordinary apprentices in the hall, who did not feel the slightest sense of security even if they relied on each other.

No one knows if the castle will be defended, no one knows when the gate will be slammed open, and what will happen to them if the castle falls.

The fear of the unknown was like a contagion, one after the other, tormenting all the apprentices hiding in the hall, hiding in their corners and shivering, staring at the closed door, muttering words in their mouths, praying for the Holy Cross to protect them.

"Damn it, damn it...... I'm just a wizard, not some barbarian with an axe, why would I want to run into such a thing!!"

Isaac, who was about to be tormented by the fear in his heart, crouched under the table with his head in his hands, cursing over and over again, and the sound of his teeth chattering could be heard clearly through the table.

Even the little wizard was no better than him, curled up in a chair, his right hand covering his mouth to prevent himself from crying, tears constantly oozing from his trembling pupils, and his heart beating faster and faster.

The sudden sound of footsteps behind him made Ai Yin's heart tighten, and her stiff body trembled slightly, and she didn't even dare to turn her head. It wasn't until the figure walked in that I saw who it was.

"Loren—?!"

"Where did you guy run away just now?!" Isaac, who was excited and scared, scolded directly, and then hugged him without saying anything, "I'm careful that my liver is about to scare out!"

"Sorry for the delay. After calming Isaac a little, Loren was able to sit down: "I was called by Mentor Dalton, and I was just asked to come back. ”

"How's the situation now?" the little wizard asked eagerly, "Why did the Mentors close the door?, and I heard that Abbot Peter and Mentor Dalton had left, is it true?"

"Abbot Peter, they have gone to the aid of the guards in the villages. Loren nodded: "As for the mentors to close the door, it is because the enemy will come to the door at any time, and it is ...... for everyone's safety."

"Boom-!!!"

The sudden roar instantly interrupted Loren's words, and the screams and cries in the hall that had just been dead silent came one after another, and the apprentices, who were already on the verge of collapse, completely broke the last string.

"Help...... Who's going to save us... As long as you can get out of here...... Anyone can do it......"

"Holy Cross bless our ...... Holy Cross bless our ......"

"It's all fake...... It's all fake... I'm dreaming... I—I don't want ......to die yet."

.................. The noisy cries and shouts made Isaac and the little wizard, who had already calmed down, fall into fear again, and looked intently at Loren, who was sitting there motionless, while he couldn't help but hold his chin and think.

Listening to the sound just now, I am afraid that the gate of the castle has been slammed open - you must know that Peter and Dalton have only just set off, and they may not have gone far. According to the other party, the other party was ambushed outside the door from the beginning, and waited until they left to launch a surprise attack.

Definitely not a coincidence, but premeditated!

The closed doors ensured the safety of the apprentices, but also cut off all means of communication with the outside world. What is certain is that the raiders of the castle must have fought with the wizards waiting outside, and it is completely unknown how long they will be able to hold out, and it may indeed be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

After all, this is a castle, and even if the gate is breached, the apprentices with little combat experience can use the walls and towers to cooperate with their mentors to temporarily resist the opponent's attack.

But is this really what the other side wants?

What Kahlan wants is a vampire hiding in the castle. And he already knew the exact location, so why would he launch a surprise attack from the front? Wouldn't it be better to sneak in while Peter and Dalton were away?

In order to survive, the wizards and apprentices in the castle will definitely fight with him, and it is impossible for Kahlan not to know this. So why did he have to choose this stupid choice? This is completely unreasonable.

"Smack!"

Loren, who was still looking down in contemplation just now, clapped his hands suddenly, startling the two people beside him. The little wizard timidly moved closer, "What's the matter, Loren?"

"Uh, sorry, I'm a little distracted. He smiled reluctantly, and Loren, who was still clenching his teeth, frowned.

It's a bad feeling to hide and speculate like this, and it's not my style at all. Patting his cheek to calm himself down, Loren decided to change his mind.

What if the raid on the castle wasn't Karan's choice, but something he had to do?

Yes, he needed a chance to enter the castle, but he didn't need to actually take the castle, if the goal was just to get the vampires, then he just had to make a show.

The biggest obstacle was Peter and Dalton, both of whom were now gone, and no wizard could stop him. In such a situation, Karan wanted to sneak into the castle more easily than he thought.

"I'm stupid...... Loren muttered to himself, who suddenly understood, causing the little wizard who had no idea what he was doing to shrink his head back in fear.

Obviously, he already knows the purpose of the other party, but he is still entangled in the process here, focusing on figuring out what he doesn't need to know at all.

That's right, he didn't need to know what Kahlan was going to do in the first place - no matter what tricks he played, his goal was the vampire, it was enough to know that, everything else was just a trick!

"I may need to get away for a while. Loren, who made the decision, no longer hesitated, and stood up as he spoke: "It shouldn't take too long, but ...... Anyway, I may not be able to come back for a while. ”

"Where else can you go, now that the door to the hall has been closed, and the outside is full of enemies, and ......" Isaac immediately asked, his eyes widening in surprise in the middle of speaking, "You don't want to go out and fight those people, do you?!"

"It's close, but it's a little bit close. Loren smiled slightly and pressed Isaac who wanted to stop him: "Of course...... I can't tell you just yet. ”

"Are you crazy? No one wants you to do this! Mentor Dalton is not here, and Dean Peter hasn't given you any assignments, so why do you have to go out and die?!"

"I didn't go out to die, and I didn't do it because of a mission or anything. He shook his head, his black pupils unbelievably determined, "But I'm very sorry, because I really don't have a choice." ”

If it weren't for Asriel, Loren wouldn't want to fight for a vampire and some wizard. But there's no way he's going to let Isaac and the little wizard know about this kind of thing.

"What if...... I mean if. Although he was talking to Isaac, Loren turned his gaze to Ain: "Wait until tomorrow morning before I come back, don't go to me, and don't have anything to do with me - you'd better just disappear and forget about me!"

"What stupid things are you talking about, you're my junior!" Isaac vetoed as a matter of course: "I've spent nearly half a year tolerating your existence, and if you disappear all of a sudden, do I still have to tolerate another potato with a watered head?!"

Although Loren knew he was showing concern, Isaac really had the potential to be sarcastic.

The little wizard was much quieter than him, and only slowly lowered his head, and Loren faintly heard it as he left:

"Ten million... Don't let anything happen. ”
