Chapter 216: Murderous Fame
When Amran came back to life in the center of the double moon, Rosen and his party were walking through the dark and silent streets.
At this time, it was more than four o'clock in the morning, the night was very dark, there was not a single star in the sky, the flames on the ground were extinguished for more than half, many sections of the road were so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, and the only light was the flashlight in Lawson's hand.
The streets were littered with corpses, one would come across every few steps, and the deaths were very horrific, with congealed black blood on the ground and walls, and the sound of seeping chewing could be heard from time to time in some dark corners, it was ghouls gnawing on corpses.
At this time, Nilogaard City was no longer the wisdom capital of the famous continent, but a miserable hell.
Perhaps because of the melting snow on the road, the air was cold and biting, and little Alice was so cold that she could barely walk: "Brother, I'm cold." ”
The voice was like that of a kitten, and she was frightened tonight.
Rosen woke up from his thoughts, he looked at the little Alice who was shivering with cold, and felt ashamed, squatted down, hugged her in his arms, and then activated the alchemy magic to arrange a layer of warm air around the two of them.
Little Alice's head was nestled in Rosen's arms, and she sobbed in a low voice: "Brother, my mother is dead, and I saw her killed by monsters with my own eyes." ”
Rosen took a deep breath: "Don't worry, my brother will definitely kill that monster and let the soul of this monster apologize to her personally!" ”
"Hmm!" Little Alice's voice was still soft, and her body curled up tighter, as if she was afraid that Rosen would leave her.
Rosen's heart became more and more guilty, and he hugged the little girl with his arms slightly hard.
"Lawson, where are we going?" Anne asked in a low voice, her face was also miserable, her eyes were confused, she never thought that the prosperous capital of wisdom would fall into the hands of monsters overnight.
She asked Lawson that question at once.
Back to the Prancing Horse Mansion? What are you going back for? The servants in the mansion are all dead, and the whole city is also occupied by monsters, what's the point of staying in such a hellish place?
Leaving Nilogaard?
Although the world is big, it is all dark and savage, and the only place of wisdom that can meet his heart in a little way has been destroyed, where should he go in the future?
He stopped and stared blankly at the corpses of civilians strewn across the streets: "yes, where are we going?" Tell me, where are you going? ”
Everyone listened, you look at me, I look at you, and they all saw confusion on each other's faces.
Morbius sighed in a low voice: "I have lived in the City of Wisdom for more than 30 years, and I have long regarded this place as my hometown. I just like the noisy, smelly port warehouses, but now ...... Hey~~~ In the future, I'm afraid that I will have to hide from the group of madmen of the Flame God Sect everywhere, and I will no longer be able to live in peace. ”
Yes, the Cult of the Flame God hates all alien races, and even magicians can't hide from those mad dogs. The wizard hunters swooped out like hyenas, and when they caught one, they were burned at the stake.
Although the strength of the wizard hunters is not very strong, they are like a pack of wolves, they will always harass you and keep you from purifying. When, one negligence on your part may capsize in the gutter.
Moreover, those fanatical believers will still preach and preach their teachings, and ordinary people will have little judgment, and over time they will be persuaded by them to start rejecting all anomalous existences. The more time passes, the more difficult the magicians' lives will become.
The world is big, but the space is only getting smaller.
Everyone present, except for little Alice, who is a pure human, is either an undead, a mutant stalker, or a dragon, all of them are freaks, and none of them are normal.
At this time, hearing Morbius's words, everyone's hearts were sad.
After a few minutes of silence, Lilith suddenly said, "Rosen, there are still some surviving magicians in the academy, why don't we go to the academy first?" Everyone will face the same fate in the future, why don't you get together to discuss countermeasures? ”
Rosen nodded: "It's okay, there are still a lot of seriously injured people there." We go over now, and we can help a little. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at everyone: "Do you have any opinions?" ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
A group of people changed directions and rushed in the direction of the academy.
After walking for five or six minutes, Rosen's ears moved slightly, and he heard some unusual movements, and he looked at Morbius: "Did you hear that?" ”
Morbius nodded slightly: "It's a monster, judging from the footsteps, there are quite a few of them." ”
Veronica whispered, "Basically, it's going to the academy. ”
Lilith became anxious when she heard this: "That Ollamson said that there is a powerful monster called the Great Lord behind all this. Amran can command monsters, and it's all because of the support of the Great Lord. Now that Amran is dead, but the Great Lord is still alive, do you think he is ready to destroy all the magicians? ”
Rosen looked solemn: "Very likely!" ”
He remembered very well that there were probably more than 30 magicians in the academy who survived, most of them were not lightly injured, and there were no powerful magicians among them. Previously, they were able to survive not because of their own strength, but because those monsters were bent on destroying the Tower of Wisdom. Now that the monsters are so focused on dealing with them, they can't resist at all!
"What can I do? Rosen, you ...... Do you have any energy left over now? Lilith looked anxiously at Rosen, the only thing she could count on now was Rosen.
Rosen looked at his energy pool, there was about 40% of the energy left, and it was still slowly recovering, plus the weapon in his hand, it was impossible to kill all the monsters, but it was not difficult to deter them.
He began to trot: "Let's speed up!" ”
Lilith was happy in her heart, she quickly followed Rosen's footsteps, walked a few steps, and was a little uneasy: "Rosen, you must not be reckless, if not, we will quickly retreat, it is better than taking a ride together and losing our lives." ”
"Don't worry, I know it." Rosen smiled faintly, after a night of fierce fighting, he had already dealt with those powerful monsters in the city, and he could deal with it easily.
Besides, those magicians are all heroes of this era, and they will also be their allies in the future, so it is a pity that they were killed like this.
The group hurried all the way, and five minutes later, they arrived on the street outside the walls of the academy.
"Bang~Bang~"
"Squeak~~"
"Howl~~"
Muskets were constantly being heard in the academy, monsters were roaring, and the battle had begun.
"They're already fighting!" Rosen said.
As he spoke, he handed little Alice to Morbius, "Man, help me take care of her." ”
Mobius subconsciously reached out and took the little Alice, and when he took the little girl into his arms, he reacted and hurriedly said: "Hey~ I have never taken care of the little girl, what if she cries?" ”
He has lived for so many years, and he has never done the work of coaxing children.
"I'm not going to cry!" Little Alice retorted loudly, but her voice was crying, and there were two tear stains on her face.
"......." Morbius became more and more at a loss.
Lawson ignored him and reached out to draw his musket from Morbius's waist: "You keep her safe, let me do the battle." ”
"Okay, okay, then you be careful."
For Rosen's combat effectiveness, Mobius has fully seen it, this musket in his hand, not much different from an iron rod, but in Rosen's hands it is a big killer.
Rosen took the musket, checked it a little, and when he was sure that everything was functioning, he strode towards the gap in the courtyard wall.
When he ran to the gap, there happened to be a water ghost 'pop~papa~' running to the gap.
This water ghost has blue and black skin, sharp eyes, and a long blue-purple tongue, after seeing Lawson, his throat let out a low roar like a poisonous snake'hiss~', and he subconsciously wanted to pounce on Lawson.
But halfway through, it saw Rosen's face clearly.
"Squeak~~~"
The roar turned into a piercing scream, and the forward figure stopped, turned around, ran as hard as he could, and disappeared into an alley in a few seconds.
Rosen was stunned for a moment: "What the hell is this guy doing?" ”
He didn't bother to think about it, and took a few steps to rush through the gap and towards the stone house at the edge of the academy.
From a distance of a few tens of meters, he saw that there were constantly fires in the direction of the stone house, some were the flame of muskets, and some were the light of magic, and through these lights, he could vaguely see many vague figures around the stone house, at least forty of them.
The ambient light was too dim, so Lawson reached into his pocket, felt for a flashing missile, aimed it at the sky, and lit it.
"Snort~~"
The dazzling white sky, the outer courtyard of the academy instantly brightened as day, and the situation around the stone house was clear.
This change was a bit sudden.
The magicians on the balcony of the stone house were casting spells, and the monsters outside the house paused, unable to figure out what was going on.
Rosen strode towards the stone house: "It's me, Rosen!" ”
On the balcony of the stone house stood a young magician, who had seen Lawson before, and as soon as he recognized him, he immediately waved his hand vigorously and shouted, "Don't come here!" There are too many monsters to deal with alone! Come on! Hurry up! ”
Completely unnoticed, Rosen charged towards a werewolf outside the stone house.
Strange things happened again.
The werewolf let out a 'whimper', and the big tail that had been dragging behind him was sandwiched between his legs, and then he turned around and ran away.
Rosen saw a clue: "This guy seems to have been scared away by me?" ”
He immediately switched his aim and rushed towards a ghoul.
"Howl~~"
The ghoul hissed at Lawson and turned to run. Immediately after, the other ghouls, water ghosts, and werewolves all gave up attacking the stone house, turned around in unison, and rushed desperately towards the dark corners of the academy, looking for a place to hide.
Looking at it like that, everyone dislikes that they have lost two legs and can't run fast enough.
In the blink of an eye, the monsters outside the stone house ran away, leaving a stunned magician on the balcony of the stone house.
"It's ....... What happened here? The young magician couldn't understand the situation.
In his impression, when the monster encounters an ordinary person, even if the other party is a magician, it is extremely fierce, and once the monster has a numerical advantage, it will definitely rush up and tear the opponent to pieces, as just now, more than 40 monsters are scared by one person, it is simply unheard of.
At this time, Lilith, Anne and others also followed.
Lilith looked at the empty outer courtyard and said strangely, "What about the monsters?" Where are they gone? ”
The magician's door on the balcony of the stone house recognized Lilith, and their faces were full of joy, and the young magician pointed at Rosen: "The monster seems to be ...... It seems that he was scared away. ”
Lilith looked at Rosen, who spread his hands, "I don't quite understand. I guess all these monsters recognize me, right? ”
There were a few monsters he had taken down tonight, including some powerful high-level monsters, including the terrifying Auramson and the Phantom Assassin Nirod. Whether it was a group attack or a heads-up, he never lost, and in the end he killed Amran.
Rosen estimated that he was now among the monsters, and he should be famous, otherwise he would not have the same effect as just now.
Anne and Veronica both looked at Rosen in surprise, they knew Rosen very well, how could they not have imagined that Rosen had learned so many powerful methods after going out for a few months.
When Morbius saw that he didn't have to fight with the monster, his mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and he smiled: "What is this? You haven't seen the scene of the battle between Lawson and the dragon warrior Auramson, tsk, the strongman of Oraemson, is simply a perfect warrior, who has never been defeated for many years, but was beaten by Lawson and cried for his mother. ”
Everyone was amazed, especially some of the magicians on the balcony, who looked at Rosen with a hint of awe.
Seeing that the magicians were stunned, Lilith urged, "Why are you in a daze, don't you open the door and let us in?" ”
"Yes, yes, open the door! Open the door! The young magician was the first to come to his senses.
After a while, the stone door of the stone house opened with a 'boom', and several magicians who were in good condition came out of the stone house, led by the young magician who had just been on the balcony.
He bowed down and made an invitation: "Your Excellency Rosen, please come inside, and everyone should come into the house." It's cold and dark outside, but it's warmer inside. ”
