"Miss, don't worry, there is the protection of the gods here, and those monsters can't attack for a while." In a guest room in the temple, a group of blue-clothed servants guarded a young girl. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, whispered a sigh of relief to the girl in front of him.

"And the clan has also received our summons, and reinforcements will arrive soon."

And if Mo and the others were here, they would definitely be able to recognize that this blue-clothed servant was one of the servants who were in charge of greeting them when they first came to this town.

"Well......," the girl nodded, then glanced around the crowd and said, "Everyone is okay." ”

"Don't worry, we found out that the situation was not right, and we organized everyone to evacuate as soon as possible. We have already counted it just now, and there is no left in the house, whether it is the clan or those ordinary servants. ”

"That's ......," the girl nodded, and then looked out, the gloom on her face still not faded much.

They are mermaids to hide their identity, and after a few years of development, they can also be called aristocratic first-class in this town. That's why they can take refuge here and stay in the temple's guest rooms.

Even at such times, the class disparities in human society will still be reflected. When all the townspeople fled here, the nobles were naturally received by the priests of the temple, and the rooms were arranged one by one. And the more ordinary people could only crowd into the square outside the temple, praying and waiting in fear for the final result.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Although it quickly calmed down, one of the blue-clothed servants went out to investigate.

Soon after, he turned back and reported: "The monsters are coming after them, but most of them have been stopped at the bottom of the mountain. Although some of them were stronger, they rushed to the top of the mountain, but they could not go any further. ”

Hearing the news, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The girl in the center looked outside, with a hint of sadness and unbearability in her eyes.

"Lan, do you have a rough estimate of how many residents in the city have evacuated this time?"

"This ......", the servant who was asked was stunned, then thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Just now, my subordinates went out for a turn, and roughly speaking, about 80% of those who were safely evacuated here." ”

The girl pursed her lips and said nothing. She also knew that it would be a miracle to be able to do this. But......

Seeing the girl like this, the man called Lan couldn't help but feel relieved: "Miss, although there are still some residents who have not evacuated here, they may have fled to other places, so you don't have to worry too much." And the reinforcements in our clan will arrive soon, and when the time comes, we will naturally kill and expel all these damn monsters. ”

In fact, in the first half of this, even he didn't believe it himself. He knew exactly what those monsters were. Those who didn't have time, or fled to other places instead of here, are now basically dead and have no place to be buried.

In the face of the pursuit of monsters, with the foot strength of those ordinary people, how could they really escape.

"Hmm...... Let's hope so......"

After another long silence and waiting, suddenly, the girl stood up abruptly and looked out the window, "No, the guardian aura is constantly weakening!" If it goes on like this, it won't be long before those monsters break through the protection and rush up! ”

"This ......", everyone was shocked and hurriedly looked out. Although ordinary people can't see where the aura is, they are not in the category of ordinary people.

"Indeed, the aura that guards this place is constantly weakening. And what are the gods thinking here? Why hasn't he shown up and shot until now, except after he just showed his miracles? Is it going to abandon his followers like that? After staring outside for a while, the look on Lan's face became ugly.

"I'm afraid it's not that it's unwilling to make a move, but that it doesn't have the strength to do it anymore." , another blue-clad servant spoke.

"You mean ......"

"Ah, it's supposed to be that 'demon' who made a move......"

"......", and the room fell silent again.

"Wait, miss, what are you going to do?" Lan noticed that the girl was taking a step, as if she was about to go outside the house.

"There's no choice now, is there?" The girl smiled, "If you continue to let the aura weaken, sooner or later those monsters will rush up." When the time comes, neither everyone outside nor us will be lucky. Well, there's only one thing I can do. ”

"You mean ......"

The girl nodded, "Kagura Matsuri, although I'm far from failing as a sea witch, I should be able to support it for a while." ”

When the people in the room heard this, they were all stunned. What the Kagura Festival is, they all know it all too well. It was a secret technique among the secret arts that only a very small number of people with special talents could perform. And after extremely hard training, those who have mastered this secret art will be called by them, Sea Witch.

And the existence of the Sea Witch Maiden is also extremely special among their clan. As the ones who can communicate with the will of the vast sea and convey all kinds of information about this sea, they are equivalent to the goddesses who convey the 'will of heaven' among human beings. So their status in the mermaid clan is self-evident.

"I don't agree!!" Lan, as the leader of the crowd, immediately spoke out against it, "Our duty is to protect your safety, how can we be reduced to sacrificing your life to protect us and others!" ”

Yes, Kagura Matsuri is a secret art that claims to be able to induce miraculous powers, but it requires the life force of the sea witch to actually perform it. And the greater the force of the attraction and the longer it is exerted, the greater the price to pay.

In the records of their merman clan, there is a sea witch who performed this secret technique and sacrificed her life in order to save the huge crisis within the clan.

"But if the aura of the guardian continues to weaken like this, those monsters will definitely break through the defense completely. When the time comes, we will still be killed. And didn't you just say that our reinforcements will be coming soon, as long as we get through this time. Since it's only for a short period of time, I can still afford such a price. ”
