Chapter 228: Freezing Rain

Perhaps the gods did not think that the difficulties of the Nilogards were enough, and at midnight it began to rain.

Nilogaard is located in the north, and in winter, the temperature at night can reach as low as nearly 20 degrees below zero, and although it does not reach this level today, it is also minus seven or eight degrees.

This freezing rain is really worse.

"Xi Lili~Wow Lala~"

At first, it was just scattered raindrops, but in just half a minute, the rain quickly became heavier, and large drops of rain fell to the ground, and after a while, it became ice. It landed on the fire and made a 'puff puff' vaporization sound, and after a while, the fire was extinguished alive by the rain.

The raindrops hit people's faces like steel needles piercing their bodies, and they were cold and painful.

People desperately searched for a place to hide from the rain, but the buildings of the academy were completely destroyed by monsters, and there was basically nowhere to hide. Soon, most of the people's clothes were soaked, and the cold rain quickly took away the warmth of their bodies, making people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

The terrible cold, the unbearable hunger, the torture of purgatory, people had to huddle together and lean against each other, trying to hold on to the last shred of warmth on their bodies.

But all in vain.

Vincent was woken up by the cold, and finally fell asleep, a freezing rain instantly tossed his sleepiness away, he hugged his wife tightly, and his whole body was shivering: "It's really unlucky, well, why is it raining?" ”

Everyone else woke up, and the merchant Palan's face was pale and pale, and his lips were not bloody, and he trembled and complained: "This hellish place doesn't even have a place to hide from the rain. ”

Claude, the oldest, in his sixties, was so drenched by the freezing rain that he could not even speak, and he fell to the ground, his body curled up like a fish about to freeze to death.

When Vincent saw it, he was worried, and hurriedly walked over, pulled Claude up from the ground, and patted Claude on the cheek vigorously: "Hey! Feed! How are you? ”

Claude was a little more sober, and he replied in a vague voice: "It's okay~ It's okay~ Hey~ I'm really old." ”

At the same time, on the other side of the ruins.

The one-eyed wolf was also woken up by the rain, he was physically strong, he was doused with this ice water, shivered, jumped up from the ground, and began to scold: "Damn god, you still don't let people live?!" It's raining in the middle of the night, why don't you just drop a meteor and kill me?! ”

The people around him also got up one after another, and they were all soaked by the rain, like a water dog.

"Big brother, if you continue like this, you're really going to freeze to death!"

"Big brother, I can't stand it anymore, I don't have any goods in my stomach, and now I'm drenched in soup, I've never been so unlucky in my life!"

"Big brother, what should I do!"

The one-eyed wolf was also helpless, and after he scolded the sky, he sat on the ground with hatred: "What else can I do?" Bear with me! ”

One of his subordinates suddenly said, "Big brother, isn't there still a stone house over there?" Why don't we take shelter from the rain? ”

"Stone House?" The one-eyed wolf looked at the stone house.

In the dark, the stone house is like a silent giant, and through the windows, there is a faint light of fire, which means warmth and comforting dryness.

A hint of longing flashed in the one-eyed wolf's eyes.

The rain was so cold that he couldn't stand it, and after thinking about it, he turned to one of his subordinates and said, "You go over, knock on the door, and let those magicians think of a way." If this continues, we will really freeze to death. ”

"Ah~ I'm going?" The man named was taken aback: "Big brother, this ...... Those magicians said before, you can't approach the stone house without permission. Will I ...... if I go through this way?"

Ordinary people naturally have a strong sense of awe for magicians.

The one-eyed wolf scolded: "You softass, did you go without permission? Isn't it raining? Don't go yet!"

"Okay." The man hesitated to stand up and walked towards the stone house.

As soon as he took two steps, he heard the voice of a little girl next to him: "Mom~I'm cold~"

A little girl nestled in her mother's arms, but she was still shivering from the cold.

The young mother was broken by her daughter's pale face, and she got up from the ground and rushed to the stone house not far away without hesitation, shouting as she ran: "Save my daughter!" Save my daughter! ”

Her voice was hoarse, very faint under the sound of the rain.

It wasn't until she ran near the stone house that a figure appeared on the balcony of the stone house, and the figure shouted at the woman, "Stop! Stop me now! ”

The woman still ran forward, shouting in a dumb voice: "Master, please, save my daughter~"

She had exhausted all her strength, but her voice was too low to penetrate the sound of the rain.

"I'll tell you to stop!" The magician on the balcony roared loudly, his voice trembled a little, in the dark night, he could only barely see a shadow approaching quickly, and no matter how he shouted, the other party did not stop, he immediately suspected that there was a monster sneak attack.

"Save my daughter......"

The woman was still running forward, when suddenly, an incandescent ray burst out from the balcony, like a sharp sword, piercing through the cold rainy night, piercing the body of the young woman and the little girl in her arms.

'Puff~' Two lifeless bodies, one large and one small, rolled to the ground, and the rain poured down, quickly taking away the remaining warmth on the body.

This scene was seen by everyone.

At the time of the incident, Lawson was asleep.

Although he thought of a way to get food, his body was too weak, and after asking Lilith to prepare some ingredients for him, he soon fell asleep again.

Lilith, Anne, and the wounded magicians were also asleep.

Lilith, in particular, had been busy all day and had not rested for a moment, and she also slept deeply at this time.

When the magician killed the commoner mother and daughter, there were not many people awake in the stone house.

Mobius counted as one, but he was closing his eyes and recuperating, and although he heard the movement outside the stone house, it was not a threat to him, so he didn't care too much. Tarot the magician is counted as one, although he lies by the fire, his mind is complicated, and he is always in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake.

The rest were two magicians on duty at night, and it was one of them who killed the mother and daughter who came to ask for help.

A freezing rain had already pushed people into a desperate situation, and now the magician showed such a cold-blooded and cruel side, and the despair in people's hearts was suddenly detonated.

"God~ What did that magician do?"

"Why did he kill!"

"Maybe it's just a mistake, it's raining too much."

"Lao Tzu is going to freeze to death, Lao Tzu is going to go into the house to hide from the rain!"

When the one-eyed wolf saw this scene, the one-eyed suddenly lit up, and he immediately waved his hand: "Guys, here's our chance to come out!" ”

He is a gangster, and his favorite trick in the past is not to hold the public accountable.

Now, he already knew that the magician in the stone house was not a single heart, and now he happened to have such a good opportunity, as long as he used it properly and successfully killed the necromancer Lawson, then he would immediately be valued by the magicians of the academy. Not to mention other benefits, he can at least live in a stone house, have a bite to eat, and live a much more comfortable life than now.

Even better, he hides in the rioting crowd and has a very low risk of exposure.

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted: "Brothers, stand up! Don't let those magicians think we're softass! ”

"Magicians kill people at will, what are they to us? Is it a pig dog? ”

"Rush forward!"

"Rush forward!"

The one-eyed wolf's men shouted.

For a while, the crowd was furious, and people stood up, gathered together, and surrounded the small stone house.

At this moment, almost everyone is extremely angry, and there are very few people who can remain sober and reasonable.

Behind the crowd, Vincent wiped the rain from his face and said to Claude, an old businessman beside him, "The situation is out of control!" ”

Claude couldn't even walk, and when he saw this scene, his whole body trembled even more: "It's over~ It's over!" ”

The magician is their protector, and this rain has put the two sides on opposite sides, once the conflict breaks out, the magician may be able to protect himself, but they are the people, I am afraid that the end will be very miserable.

Paran sighed: "The gods are so cruel! ”
