Chapter 65: The Flames of the Town
After a while, everyone saw something like glass shatter in the sky.
It's the last enchantment in the church.
Looks like Father Merrill has taken care of it.
It should be safe outside.
Everyone wants to go home and see it.
However, Father Merrill did not return. The new mayor Jonathan didn't say anything, so everyone had to wait here first.
γγγγγ
Father Merrill was startled by the shattering barrier outside the church.
He thought that this enchantment was going on, and it wouldn't be complicated.
As a result, Merrill just put his hand on it. The barrier that had just stopped the mage of the Dark Order shattered directly in front of his eyes.
Yes, you heard it right. It just shattered. It's like a tofu scum project built by a formation apprentice.
Although, Merrill understands what this is all about. The "holy relic" in his storage ring may be the culprit. However, I was still surprised to see this scene with my own eyes.
At this time, the rain outside is not very heavy. It's almost stopped.
Merrill wanted to see what was going on in the town first.
He didn't know if there were any other Dark Order people in the town, so it would be good to check them out.
It's just that Merrill saw the results that made him a little angry. He didn't think he was going to be in this mood, but when he saw it, he couldn't help but get angry.
When familiar faces fell in front of them, their voices and smiles seemed to be yesterday. However, now they have all turned into cold corpses.
They lay on the cold ground, letting the rain run over their bodies.
Merrill didn't know if his spatial scroll would be able to hold so many corpses. However, Father Merrill felt that he had no reason to let those people lie out like that. Even if he just lay down for a little longer, Merrill felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Some of the residents who were hiding in their houses were so frightened that they didn't dare to move when they heard the movement in the yard.
They all thought that the men in black they had seen at the beginning were coming again.
However, it was the voice of the old priest in the church in the town. Only then did he slowly poke his head out and take a sneak look. It's really the old priest! Only then did he dare to walk out with a trembling body.
Only then did they realize that their legs had been numb for a long time. Now the station is a little unstable.
Seeing this, Father Merrill was really sad in his heart.
He couldn't help but think of the question he had asked himself so many times. "What's wrong with these people? Why do they live their lives dutifully. Nothing will be provoked, and those disasters will befall them!"
Merrill couldn't think of it. He may have really grown old and become sentimental.
He thought he was used to seeing this scene for so many years. Actually, he still hasn't gotten used to it. His heart was not yet cold.
Everyone followed behind the old priest Merrill.
No one will ask why the old priest carried a huge axe on his back.
Everyone watched in silence as the old priest Merrill put away the familiar and unfamiliar corpse.
Although, the old priest Merrill had already told them that they could go to the church first.
However, no one went.
They all followed him all the time.
When Father Merrill saw this, he didn't say anything. Acquiesce in their actions.
The heavy rain has stopped.
The people behind Father Merrill have grown from sparse at the beginning to many.
The people of the Dark Order did not carefully carpet clean the townspeople. After all, they are all people who come naturally, and they can kill whoever they want. Naturally, there will be some omissions.
And even if they kill someone, they won't dispose of it all. They also need someone to spread the word about the Dark Order's prestige. Scared those ordinary people.
This left a little fire in the town.
However, when Father Merrill brought the family to the front of the chapel of the church.
Jonathan, the town's new mayor, counted.
I found that the total number of people in the town was only more than 200 people. His family occupies one-tenth of the family.
And the children who are suitable for being recommended to study in the Duchy of Belmane, little Leo with the old priest of the church, the stinky boy of Bernard and his family, and Susan of the gardener Lucy's family, are only seven or eight people.
He seems to have suffered a little. In other words, even if he is not the mayor of the town, then there is a high probability that the child who is suitable to go to the Duchy of Belmane to study in the Duchy of Belmane this year is his son.
After all, the old priest Leo of the church would definitely not let him be recommended.
Bernard's son, too, is unlikely. His father is in a coma, he can't do without his father! But I'm afraid of what happens. In case Bernard woke up and was determined to let his son go. What to do?
and Susan of Lucy's family, a florist, who has always treated his family as his own family. In case Susan is going, it is not easy to offend herself.
Jonathan thought about it and forgot it. After all, his son is really, how to say, a little stupid. "Alas. Never mind. It's better to be on the safe side. β
Father Merrill knew by this time that they had chosen Jonathan as the interim mayor.
He didn't say anything, after all, the church's rules do not allow local churches to directly manage local affairs. Then, Jonathan is indeed the most suitable person besides himself.
Of course, Merrill was not interested in either.
After this time, he had more important things to do. It is necessary to report to the church about the revenge of the Dark Order, repair the damaged barrier of the church, and sort out the damage of the churchγγγγγγ Wait a minute. There's a lot of stuff waiting for him.
Father Merrill can't handle his own affairs, so how can he still take care of himself?
So, the new mayor. No, it was Jonathan's temporary mayor that was decided.
Jonathan's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a little complicated, and with a little hatred, he glanced at his son who was being led by the family.
"Son, you must be angry. Daddy has sacrificed so much for you. If you don't, you're going to me off."
Merrill wanted to say something reassuring to everyone. Like he used to say a lot when he was younger. But look at everyone's lifeless eyes. He couldn't tell.
All the words turned into a long sigh.
Jonathan could see Father Merrill's embarrassment. Originally, at this time, Father Merrill must have said a few words. But look at the priest now.
He sighed too. There are more than 1,000 people in the town, and now there are more than 200 people left.
However, life will go on.
What's the use of going on like this?
It's just that no one thought of it at this time. There was a vague figure in the distance.
