It's a very old town, not big and not very populous. Most of the buildings in the town are blue-gray in color, and there are few houses with more than two floors, except for a tower in the center. The street is designed horizontally and vertically, and the layout is very regular. The road lacks the hustle and bustle of the big city, and shows the serenity and tranquility of the town.

Eugari opens the window on the second floor to let the morning sun shine straight into the bedroom. However, at this time, except for Milia, who was grooming and dressing, everyone else was still asleep. Once Miria had finished her make-up, they went to the dining room together.

"How's the conversation?" Yujiali asked with interest, "You guys seem to have been talking late yesterday." ”

"Well, it's okay." Miria replied, "Since she had been in Quelstan for a while before she met the pirates, I inquired about the recent situation there. ”

"How? Didn't you plan to go back sooner? Eugari asked.

"Yes. I had intended it this way, because I had been worried about my family's safety ever since the Revolutionary Army attacked the Magic Society. However, it is really unimaginable that the aristocratic forces and the royal forces have gradually merged together, and it is really unbelievable that the two forces that have been hostile to each other for a long time and have conflicting interests can compromise with each other and jointly resist the invasion of foreign forces. Therefore, the foreign forces that have intervened in Quelstan in recent times, as well as the revolutionary army before it, have basically withdrawn from Quelstan. I don't know what caused them to 'get back together', but it's great. I heard that all parts of the country are now working hard to rebuild the facilities that have been badly damaged over the past few years and to vigorously resume production. So I want to ask Chu Yun first when I go back, maybe I'll stay here for a while before going back. Miria replied happily.

"That's great." Yujiali was also sincerely happy, "You said it really just now. Is that the girl's name? ”

"yes." Miria continued, "She seems to have been born in the human kingdom. His parents died when he was very young, and he has been living in an orphanage. Later, he escaped because he couldn't stand the life there, wandered alone for a while, was caught by a slave trader, and then spent some time in Quilstan. It was intended to be auctioned at the auction in Treasure Bay, but due to pirate attacks, the entire slave merchant ship was shipwrecked. ”

"That's pretty pitiful." Yujali sighed, "It's ...... at such a young age"

"I'm going to take her to the clothing store in the morning to buy her some new clothes, which are all in ruins. We made an appointment, and she told me a detailed story about the recent events in Quelstein, and I bought her some cute toys. Would you like to go with you? ”

"Well...... "Yugari thought for a moment and said, "I think it's next time." I'd like to go to the Guild Alliance in the morning to see if there's any important news. When we have time, let's go shopping together. ”

"Well, that's fine." Speaking of which, Miria changed her words, "But then again, next time you don't want to put living things into the magic space!" ”

"Uh...... This ......," said Eugari with her hand raised her hand apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I really didn't know that egg couldn't be put in it." ”

"Really. If I hadn't asked you, you'd almost be dead. Miria pouted and said, "Then let Majin take it with you, I don't think you're usually interested in taking care of it." ”

"Indeed...... Such...... I'm so sorry. Yujiali thought about it, and felt that it was really inconvenient for her to walk around with a huge egg.

After breakfast, Yugari walked out of the inn and walked in the direction of the Guild Alliance while admiring the unique scenery of the town. The Guild Union Building here is a two-story building in the classical style. It doesn't look grand, but it's spacious inside. Yugari first carefully read each message in front of the bulletin board, and found nothing particularly important, and then looked at the entrusted task. "That's a lot. And most of them are commissions for help. It seems that this is a peaceful town." Yugari thought. "It seems to be the only special point. Or a direct commission from the Guild Alliance. Recently, there was a criminal gang that specialized in robbing passers-by outside the city, they were masked and hiding, short in stature, and other circumstances were unknown. Adventurers who provide clues or capture the gang can be rewarded with up to 2 gold coins. Well...... Forget it. I won't be here for long, so I'm still in a hurry, so let's leave the rest of the way beforehand." Thinking of this, Yugari walked out of the Guild Alliance's building.

"It's still early, so let's go to the nearby market. Let's see what new souvenirs are available for everyone to take home. Yugari said to herself. Then he turned around and walked towards the market next to him.

Unlike other streets, the streets of the bazaar are bustling with people. The goods sold are even more dazzling, with a wide variety, from colorful melons, fruits, pears and peaches to various styles of swords, guns and halberds, from daily necessities to luxury goods.

As Eugari wandered around the market, a little dark-brown boy suddenly approached her and placed a silver-gray bracelet on her wrist.

"Welcome to Vigil." The little boy raised his head, bared his slightly yellowed teeth, and said with a smile, "This is a little gift from me." ”

"Huh? That's really...... Thank you! Looking at the little boy's innocent smile, Yugari thanked him.

"Is it okay to give a few dollars?" The little boy continued.

"Huh?" Yugari was stunned for a moment.

"I mean, we're already friends, just give me a few dollars, and say no?"

"I see. I didn't expect the routine here to be so deep.'" Just as Yugari was crying and laughing, a thin figure ran past her quickly. "Catch the thief!" Immediately after, a shrill voice came from a distance, and a panting aunt staggered over, shouting as she ran, "Catch, catch that child, yes, it's a thief." ”

Yujiali didn't have time to think much after hearing this, and chased after the figure that had just flashed just now. The figure moved extremely fast, and he knew the surrounding terrain well, and he was seen to weave freely through the crowd, climbing over walls and walking on the ground. He also uses his thin body to constantly shuttle through fences, wall holes, and even waterways. However, Yugari is no slouch, with the "Ella's Soaring Headband" on her head, she is not only as light as a swallow and has a strong walk, but also can ride the wind and jump rapidly from building to building with ease.

Yugari chased the figure in front of her all the way to the forest outside the south gate. I saw that the figure suddenly accelerated, turned around and ran into the depths of the dense woods, so that Yujiali could not be found for a while.

As a priest, Yugari herself has no search skills, nor has she learned relevant additional skills or equipped with magic items in this area, plus the terrain here is complicated, leafy, and overgrown, so she wandered here for a long time and never found a trace of the person. Just as she was about to return to Vigil, a group of diminutive figures dressed in black night clothes, covering their faces and showing only their eyes, appeared around her, each armed with a weapon, and surrounded Yugari.

"Be less nosy here. Leave something valuable behind and get out of here! One of the thin figures stepped forward and yelled impatiently.

Eugarie looked them up and down at this point. "From a distance, it looks like a nightcoat, but at best it looks like a slightly larger piece of black coarse cloth, stained and worn with thick patches. Don't say that the weapon in your hand is "ordinary level", maybe it's not even sharp, even if it is considered a 'scrap', it is not an exaggeration, after all, it has rusted like that...... Thinking of this, Yujiali pulled out her staff and said, "You should be the robbery gang that has been wanted recently." Now go to the Guild Alliance to turn yourself in, and you can still ask for leniency. Still, Yugari began to doubt her own judgment. Are these really the people? It's hard to believe that she's so thin and with rough equipment......

"Don't talk nonsense with her, teach her a lesson first!" A figure next to him immediately waved his arm after speaking, and all the figures around him immediately picked up their weapons and fired at Yujiali.

However, in less than a moment, they were beaten by Yujiali, and they fell to the ground groaning. Eugari stepped forward and removed their masks. "What? It's all kids. Eugari said in surprise.

"You, you dare to beat Lao Tzu!" One of the little boys clutched his stomach and yelled, "You're so proud!" Lao Tzu has never met an opponent in a civilian area! ”

"Slums? Are you from Staris? Yugari immediately asked.

"Where did you come from, what the hell you!" A child next to him shouted.

"It's just, you gorilla, what's the matter!"

"What to do...... The other party can't be too much if it's a child, and it seems that we can only bring them all to the Guild Alliance." Yugari sighed inwardly.

At this moment, a large number of noisy footsteps suddenly came from the woods behind him. Yugari immediately turned around in alarm. After a while, a large number of heavily armed guards appeared around Yugari and surrounded her.

Just as Eugarie was confused, a little boy squeezed in from behind the guards, pointed at her wrist and shouted, "That's her, snatched my bracelet!" ”

"Huh?" Yujali subconsciously shouted.

"And wounded my friend!" The little boy continued.

At this time, the children who fell to the ground around them also groaned loudly in pain.

"Save ...... Help me...... Kill someone......"

"She's going to rob us of something...... Woohoo......"

"Even kids like us don't let go...... Wow, ahhh......h

"Huh?" Yugari was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to explain it.

At this moment, one of the guards who looked like a squad leader shouted to Eugari, "Please lay down your weapons and come with us to the Guild Alliance." ”

"Uh...... No, I, I'm not ......" Before Ugari could finish speaking, the little boy standing in front immediately shouted; "Brother guard, don't listen to her, she is the best at deceiving people! He told me that we were already good friends, but then he snatched my bracelet away, ......and after that, the little boy rubbed his eyes and cried sadly.

"What can I do...... Just go to the Guild Alliance and explain the matter...... It doesn't seem so easy to explain.'" Yugari glanced at the silver chain on her wrist and thought irritably.

Suddenly, the sky darkened. The crowd, who didn't know what was happening, immediately looked up. I saw a dark cloud in the sky not far away, which was rapidly moving towards this side. Yugari took a closer look, and was taken aback to see that it was a flock of putret claw crows flying in the direction of Vigil. "What's going on?" If these aggressive guys rush to Vigil, they're in trouble.'" Thinking of this, Yugari immediately shouted to the guards, "It's the Rotten Claw Crow!" Hurry up and get back to defense! ”

"What?!" The guards were shocked when they heard Yugari's words.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, catch her first!" However, the boy's words made the guards hesitate again.

"I can't care so much, it's important to hurry back to Vigil." With no time to pay attention to the hesitant guards, she used all her strength to ride into the air with all her strength, jumped out of their encirclement, and ran quickly towards Vigil without looking back.

Yugari came to the city gate and pointed to the 'cloudy' sky behind her, explaining the impending crisis to the captain defending the city. The captain made a quick decision, quickly ordered the guards to close the city gates, and then organized the archers to climb the city wall to prepare for battle. Then he hurried to the Guild Alliance building to report the situation, and at the same time arranged several teams to rush to the city to evacuate the citizens on the streets.

Yugari hurried towards the inn non-stop.

"Oh no, there's something big going on out there!" When Eugari returned to the inn, she hurried upstairs, pushed the door open, and shouted, "Raven...... A swarm of putret claws has rushed over! ”

At this time, Miria and the others were sitting around the round table, looking at Yujali who rushed in, and Conia said slowly, "You came back at the right time, and we were still discussing whether to wait for you to come back. ”

"Miria was going to inform the Guild Alliance." Li Yaqi said coldly, "But it seems that someone has already gone." That's why I said I'd wait until you get back. ”

"You can't just sit in the house all the time." Miria stood up and said to Eugari, "We as adventurers have an obligation to participate in the battle to defend the city. Isn't it?! ”

"That's true!" Yujiali looked at Li Yaqi and Konya, who were obviously not very interested, and continued, "You two, you have to go together, too!" With that, he took Li Yaqi's arm and led everyone towards the door.

By this time, some of the claws had already rushed into the city, either hovering at low altitudes, waiting for an opportunity to attack the panicked pedestrians on the road, or rampage through the streets, wantonly destroying all kinds of flowers and trees, or fighting fiercely with the patrolling guards in groups of three or five.

As soon as they walked out of the inn, a huge clawed crow of rotten liquid rushed towards them with its teeth and claws. Eugari immediately picked up her staff and knocked it back.

"Hey! Cheer up! Youjiali shouted to Li Yaqi, "Don't you like to catch pets the most?" Don't you want a few of such powerful guys? ”

"Who likes this kind of guy with sticky saliva all over his body, it's disgusting." Li Yaqi replied with a look of disgust.

"This dark crow is supposed to live deep in the forest. Although fierce by nature, it rarely runs out of the forest. I think something happened in the forest that drove me out. Let's go out into the forest. Miria suggested.

"Then it's decided!" "Yaqi, you help deal with the crows rushing down from the sky, and the others hurry up and take a look at the east side of the forest." ”

"Be careful, everybody. The liquid that comes out of the raven's mouth is so corrosive that it should not get on your skin or splash it in your eyes! As soon as Miria finished reminding everyone, two dark crows shot down by Li Yaqi fell from her, and Zhenzhen in front of her was so frightened that she quickly curled up in Milia's arms, and the egg that Yujiali was holding in her hand almost fell off the horse.

Along the way, the citizens on the streets have become more and more scarce, and every household on the streets and alleys has closed their doors and windows. The adventurers who have arrived from the Guild Alliance building have been involved in the battle to drive out the Ravens and defend the town. Although the finishing strength of these adventurers is indeed much higher than that of the crows, there are so many claws that it is not easy to drive them out of Vigil Town quickly.

When they arrived at the city gate, the guards on the city wall were fighting fiercely with the flocks of crows under the leadership of the captain, and the wooden gate had been washed out of a huge gap by the crows' rotten liquid. So they rode through the gap, through the city gates, and ran all the way into the depths of the forest.

As soon as they entered the depths of the forest and a short distance to the east, they saw a group of fishmen wielding crude weapons and swarming towards them. Faced with the sudden situation, they didn't have time to think about it, so they had to quickly dismount and fight.

"What's going on, the fish-people must live on the other side of the beach, right?" Eugari asked.

"That's right. However, it may be that they have encroached on the territory of the Putrid Claw Crow, which has caused the Crow to expand westward. Miria replied.

"Then let's move on and see what's going on on the beach."

"Hmm. I guess the problem is on the beach. ”

"Still, there are too many of these fishmen, and if we continue to clean up at this rate, it will be dark when we reach the beach." Yugari thought anxiously, "I can't help it, I have to do this."

"Konya." Thinking of this, Yugari shouted, "Open a passage to the other side of the beach." The others walked together in the direction of the beach...... Wait a minute, don't even ...... the forest" Before Yugari finished speaking, an unusually powerful dark energy gathered around Cornia like a whirlpool, completely devouring her in an instant, and then this powerful dark energy swept away in the direction of the beach like a stormy wave, and all life in its path was reduced to nothing, and the lucky fish people were not affected by this situation, and they immediately scattered in fright when they saw this situation, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. “…… Together...... Ruined ......"

"Alright, the passage is finished. Let's go. Conya glanced at Yugari and said cheerfully.
