Chapter 41: Stealing from the House
Ten minutes ago.
As night falls, most people fall asleep and the town falls silent.
Knock, knock, knock~
Suddenly, a thick magic bell rang, tearing through the silence of the night, waking countless people from their sleep.
People are no strangers to this discordant sound, which means an enemy attack!
People who had already experienced numerous attacks before the Son of God came were not too alarmed.
The warriors quickly put on their armor and took up their weapons and rushed out of the houses, while the old and weak women and children marched in an orderly manner in the direction of the Temple of Adventure, and suddenly the whole town was running as quickly and efficiently as a sophisticated machine.
Knock, knock, knock~
The bells continued to ring, guiding the warriors in the darkness, and the sound of the city's guards could already be heard running in the streets.
The town is not big, the streets are not chaotic, and it only takes two minutes at most for reinforcements to get anywhere in the town.
However......
Knock knock knock ~ knock ......
The bell suddenly became urgent, and then stopped abruptly.
Without the cover of the bells, the distant sounds of fighting became clear, and then gradually weakened......
Thundered!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the south of the town, followed by a raging fire, and the billowing smoke was very noticeable even at night.
Whew~
This was followed by the howl of a wolf, and the piercing laughter of the goblins.
For a time, in the south of the town, the sound of explosions, wails, cries, and wolf howls were intertwined.
Eventually, people panicked.
"Wow, wow, wow!"
The children's cries were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the whole town became chaotic in an instant, and countless people left behind the physically impaired and rushed in the direction of the temple.
At this time, the wooden door of a low house on the west side of the town was pushed open.
"What's going on? On fire? ”
Looking at the firelight and smoke in the distance, as well as the various chaotic sounds coming from his ears, he was woken up by the sound of explosions, and the 'nimble fat man' who had just dressed was a little dazed.
This is the first time he has encountered such a situation when he is so old.
Knock knock knock ~ knock knock ~ knock knock ~
Just then, the magic bell rang again, but this time from the temple in the middle of the town.
"It's ......"
Listening carefully to the bell, the fat man was silent for a while, and then his expression froze.
As a player who entered the game early and lived there, he knew the most basic common sense of God Descent Town.
And the sound of two long and one short means ......
Level 1 alert, disaster strikes.
The fat man set his eyes in the direction of the flames, and the gods descended to the south of the town......
……
Oops, Gillian!
The fat man's face suddenly changed greatly, and he immediately spread his legs and ran up, opened his backpack at the same time, and pressed the equipment icons one by one.
Hmmm~
A piece of leather equipment appeared on the fat man's body, and the last thing that appeared in the fat man's hands were two short knives!
As soon as the equipment was ready, a faint magical glow shone at the fat man's feet.
First-Order Magic, Run!
The fat man's running speed instantly increased by a third.
A magic was released, the fat man did not stop chanting, and soon another magic was released.
Fourth-order magic, acceleration.
The fat man, who was shrouded in blue light, doubled his speed, and the fat man, who was already agile in the main point of the attribute, disappeared in an instant.
The place where the fat man lives is not too far from the shopping street, and with the blessing of two magics, even if the street is a mess and difficult to walk, the fat man still came to the shopping street in less than a minute.
At this time, the shopping street has completely lost its former prosperity, and the ground is full of wreckage and corpses......
Seeing this scene, the fat man became even more anxious, rushed directly to the skill bookstore, and slammed open the broken door of the store with a bang.
"Gillian!"
The fat man quickly swept around the store.
At this time, the store was in a mess, the bookshelves were toppled down, and the skill books were scattered all over the ground, covered with dense black footprints.
"Bastard."
The fat man gritted his teeth and went up to the second floor to investigate.
The second floor, which was used as a resting place, suffered even worse than the first floor, where every cabinet and box was turned open and all kinds of Japanese goods were thrown on the floor at will.
Thankfully, however, the fat man didn't notice any signs of struggle, and it was clear that Gillian had left before the goblins arrived.
After breathing a sigh of relief, the fat man immediately returned to the first floor and rushed to the street again.
Although no trace was found, that didn't mean Gillian was safe.
"Gillian! Gillian! ”
The fat man searched along the street to the temple.
Along the way, the fat man encountered goblins looting, people who fell to the ground and wailed for help, and warriors surrounded by a large group of goblins......
However, the fat man never stopped, shouting all the way to the temple.
At this time, the temple was shining with holy light, and a white semicircular light curtain spread out of it, isolating the darkness from the goblins.
Inside the light curtain were paladins in white armor attacking outwards, as well as women, children and children who were protected behind.
"Gillian!"
The fat man casually slashed a few goblins that stood in his way, and rushed into the light curtain, unhindered.
"Gillian!"
The fat man ran back and forth in the crowd in search.
"Chubby ......"
Suddenly, a voice stopped the fat man.
The fat man came to the man in an instant, and after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, a smile appeared on the fat man's face, which looked a little tired from running explosively for a long time.
"Huhu~, Auntie, where's Gillian? With you? ”
However, in the face of the anticipating 'nimble fat man', Mrs. Petdy opened her mouth with guilt in her eyes, and then bowed her head.
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
The fat man was stunned, the smile on his face froze, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his voice trembled.
"Auntie...... What did you mean ......"
The fat man's reaction made Lady Pedy tremble slightly, and the guilt on her face increased.
"I'm sorry, Gillian...... I was taken to save my ......"
As she spoke, Lady Pedi raised her head, her face full of self-reproach, and tears unconsciously slipped down:
"Sorry...... I'm sorry...... I promised you to take care of her, but she saved her, sorry...... Sorry......"
"Huh? Jillian she ......"
For a moment, as if he had lost all his strength, the fat man took two steps back in distraction, and then fell to the ground.
Seeing this episode, Mrs. Pedi hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the fat man: "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry for you...... I'm sorry...... Punish me if you're angry......"
"It's okay, Auntie, it's not your problem." However, because of the pain in his buttocks, the fat man, who gradually regained his composure, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "If that stupid guy Jillian doesn't do this, it won't be her......"
"It's all to blame on the goddamn goblins! No! And the dog planner! The fat man said through gritted teeth.
"Dog planner?"
Mrs. Pedy was stunned.
"It's fine." The fat man shook his head, "By the way, Auntie, you just said that Gillian was just captured?" Still alive? ”
"Hmm."
Mrs. Pedi answered, and her expression became sad again.
There was some hope in the fat man's eyes: "I remember that the book said that goblins, such creatures, will not be eaten immediately after catching people, but will be kept in captivity for a period of time, right?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Mrs. Pedi nodded subconsciously, and her face suddenly changed.
"You don't think of saving her in the goblin's lair, do you? It's too dangerous! And it is simply impossible to succeed! ”
