On the first day after the festival of the gods, the morning sun was miserable white, and the cold wind blowing by the river carried a strong smell of death, and the once prosperous and noisy city of Nilogaard fell into a deathly silence.

In the outer courtyard of Nilogaard, most of the buildings in the area of thousands of acres were destroyed, and only a smoky ruins remained, and in a scorched wood, only the structure of an ordinary stone house at the very edge was barely complete.

'Squeak~'

The door to the stone house suddenly opened, and after a while, a group of people walked out of it. The one at the forefront was the magician Tarot, and beside him was Lilith, followed by four young magicians.

The group walked cautiously through the ruins of the academy until they came to the ruins of a building. Lilith and Tarot stood on the perimeter, guarding the embankment against monsters that might jump out of the shadows.

The four young magicians walked to the ruins, wielding their shovels and rummaging through the ruins, looking for anything valuable.

This ruin has a very wide view, and there is basically no hiding place as far as the eye can see, Tarot used his magic to carefully search the vicinity, and after confirming that there is no danger, his tense spirit relaxed slightly.

After waiting for a while, he felt a little bored, so he walked up to his Lilith and whispered, "Lilith, what is that Lawson?" ”

Lilith kept scanning her surroundings, and when she heard Tarot's words, she replied casually, "I don't know, he's a mysterious person." ”

Tarot was taken aback: "I don't know? But you seem to trust him. ”

Lilith glanced at him and corrected, "It's not just what it seems, I just trust him." ”

Tarot became more and more puzzled, and he shrugged his shoulders: "I admit that his strength is very strong, but listening to his accent, he should be a southerner." Also, the healing techniques he used before were very bloody, much like those forbidden black magic. And, don't you think the timing of his appearance is a bit too coincidental? As soon as we were attacked by monsters, he arrived, and I ......"

Lilith frowned slightly: "Tarot, that's surgery, it's not black magic. Although the academy does not like this kind of bloody treatment, this simple treatment method is very popular among the people, and the treatment effect is very good when it comes to trauma...... Also, he was able to arrive in time because he had been in Nilogaard. ”

Tarot shook his head disapprovingly: "Of course I know about surgery, but when it comes to the effect of treatment, it's just a joke, and if two out of ten people can survive, it's the favor of the gods." Lilith, I don't know why you believe him so much, but I've always been conservative, I think his intentions are very suspicious, and he has shady plans for the Academy! ”

Hearing these words, Lilith almost laughed angrily, she turned her head to look at her junior brother carefully, and asked seriously, "Tarot, do you think that with his strength, it is necessary to play tricks with you?" Why didn't he just order you? Or do you dare to defy his orders? ”

Tarot was choked and speechless, and he snorted coldly: "Anyway, I just think there is something wrong with him, perhaps, he is a dark mage who can't see the light at all!" Also, the two women beside him are too, a half-human, half-monster freak, and the other woman in red exudes an inhuman sense of bewitchment. I bet that girl must be a monster, maybe a vampire! ”

One of the most important founding tenets of the academy is that magicians and monsters are incompatible, and the task of magicians is to destroy all inhuman monsters in this world.

Although the binding force of this purpose has been weakening in recent decades, it has never been forgotten, an orthodox academic magician has never disdained to be in the company of monsters, and those magicians who deal with monsters are typical of self-depravity in the eyes of academic magicians.

Lilith was also deeply affected by this school motto, and after hearing Tarot's words, a trace of doubt appeared on her face.

Of course, she didn't suspect Rosen, but she was worried that Rosen's proximity to the mutant stalker would affect his reputation, and she knew very well how arrogant the mages of the academy were, and Tarot was just one of them, and more people would definitely take advantage of this in the future.

Seeing that Lilith was silent, Tarot only thought that he had moved her, and whispered, "Lilith, I insist that we should be cautious in dealing with this Mr. Rosen. ”

Lilith nodded slowly: "Hmm~ I'll think about it carefully." ”

She felt the need for her to talk to Lawson privately about the mutant stalker...... At the very least, he should be made to pay attention to his behavior in public.

By this time, the four young magicians had almost dug up the ruins, and they had dug up a lot of good things, such as a bag of flour, a large basket of potatoes, a small bag of spices, two large cauldrons, glass mirrors, bottles, pots and bowls, etc., large and small, there were more than a dozen, and the harvest was very rich.

Tarot was very satisfied with the results of this recovery, he waved his hand and said, "This trip is almost over, let's go back first." ”

The group carried the excavated materials and walked towards the stone house not far away, and just halfway through, a young magician suddenly spoke: "Strange, there seems to be a cry outside the courtyard wall." ”

"Crying? What crying? Although it was broad daylight, the miserable white sun in the sky did not give him much security.

After a while, the crying outside the courtyard wall became obvious, and everyone could hear it clearly.

"It's someone crying, and there are quite a few of them." Lilith spoke.

Tarot became more and more nervous, and he immediately waved his hand vigorously at the stone house: "This may be a monster's conspiracy!" Fast! Speed up and return to the Stone House! ”

When he said this, the other magicians were also scared, and after a nightmarish night, they all had a deep fear of monsters in their hearts.

The magicians began to trot in the direction of the stone house.

Lilith also had to run with the others, and she looked in the direction of the courtyard wall as she ran, but the courtyard wall was so high that she could not see anything but crying, and the only thing she knew for sure was that the crying was getting more and more, and she was getting closer and closer to the courtyard wall.

They were not far from the stone house, and soon the group ran back to the house, and when the last person entered the house, several young men immediately closed the wooden door of the stone house and blocked it with a boulder.

In the hall of the stone house, Lawson was holding a syringe in his hand and was injecting nutrient solution into the veins of the mage Shuma's arm. These nutrient solutions were carefully blended by him, containing most of the nutrients that the human body urgently needs, and the concentration was also moderate, which could help the magician Xiuma recover faster.

After hearing the movement at the door, he remained motionless, patiently injecting the nutrient solution, and while injecting, he asked Shuma how he felt: "How does the wound feel?" ”

Xiuma's spirit seemed to be much better than before, and he frowned: "It hurts, especially my stomach, which is getting more and more painful." ”

This is not necessarily due to the deterioration of the injury, because as the body continues to recover, the body that has become numb due to the injury will slowly regain its ability to perceive, and the pain will naturally increase.

Just in case, Rosen still carefully examined the wound with alchemy magic to confirm that the wound was not infected, and after Xiuma's blood pressure, heartbeat, and body temperature were basically normal, he smiled and said, "Your body is recovering, which is a good thing." Don't worry, just bear with it. ”

As a magician, Shuma also has a keen sense of his body, and he also feels that his strength is slowly recovering, but the pain disturbs his perception and makes him unable to determine the situation, when he hears Rosen's firm words, his spirit is lifted: "Master, can a serious injury like mine really get better?" ”

"Yes! Some of the patients I've treated have been more serious than yours, but they've healed. ”

Rosen's tone was firm, and in order to give Shuma confidence, he also told a white lie.

Shuma's eyes lit up as she heard this, and her eyes were full of hope.

Only after experiencing the despair of dying can he know the beauty of life, and for Rosen, who forcibly pulled him back from the hands of death, he has an indescribable sense of closeness and security in his heart, as if as long as this person is by his side, he can be fearless of death.

At this time, the movement by the gate became louder and louder, and Rosen gently patted Xiuma's hand: "Pay attention to rest, I'll go and see what's going on." ”

He got up and walked towards the door.

Lilith had been waiting for him for a long time, and when she saw him coming, she immediately greeted him: "Lawson, the situation is not good. ”

"How?" Rosen had actually heard the cry a long time ago, before Lilith and the others.

He could hear voices coming from outside the walls of the academy, and at least hundreds of people were crying, men, women, and children, who were getting closer and closer to the stone house.

"There are a lot of people outside the academy, all of them unarmed civilians. They're being driven by monsters, and they're getting closer and closer to us, I'm afraid ....." Lilith's eyes were filled with fear.

Lawson's face was still very calm, and he said lightly: "Are you worried that those monsters are using civilians as hostages to force us out of the stone house to fight them?" ”

"Very possibly. Rosen, what are we going to do? ”

Lilith, a woman with a strong temperament and a delicate intelligence, is also at a loss in the face of such a shameless trick.

"Let's go, go to the balcony and see how it's going."

Lawson strode towards the second floor of the stone house, and in the stone house, all the healthy magicians, Annie, Veronica, Morbius and others, all followed.

After reaching the balcony on the second floor, Rosen saw that the ruins of the academy outside the stone house were already full of civilians, and there were many more civilians walking in through the gap, at least 300 or more.

These civilians were men and women, old and young, husbands and wives, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, all of them lost their souls and looked miserable, and under the drive of the monsters, they approached the stone house helplessly.

Rosen also saw that there were many monsters mixed in with this group of innocent civilians, these monsters were very cunning, they used civilian bodies as cover, and if Rosen did something to them, then the civilians in front of him would definitely die.

At this time, the civilians closest to the stone house were less than 50 meters left.

Seeing this scene, Rosen was silent.

The magician Tarot almost collapsed, he held his head in his hands, and said loudly: "It's over, unless we don't care about the life and death of these civilians, we can't stop these monsters at all!" ”

Anne also went to the balcony, she looked at the monster downstairs, her face full of anger: "It's so despicable! These monsters are so despicable! ”

Morbius looked at Rosen: "Rosen, we must stop them quickly!" Otherwise we're all going to die! ”

"Nope! Innocents must never be killed! Lilith yelled, "If we do, what's the difference between us and the monsters?" ”

"In my eyes, it doesn't matter if it's a monster or not, I just need to live!" Morbius also roared, his emotions were extremely excited, his eyes were red, the muscles on his face were tense, and he had already slightly taken on the form of an undead monster.

The magician Tarot suddenly spoke: "I agree with Mobius's words, it only makes sense to talk about these things if you survive first!" At this critical time, we don't have the capacity to protect more people. ”

Lilith was taken aback, her face full of incredulity: "Tarot, what are you talking about?!" ”

"Lilith!" Tarot roared angrily, pointing at the approaching civilians, with a hideous face: "Look at those people, they have become accomplices of the monster!" Don't you understand that mercy is meaningless! ”

Lilith was furious: "I'd rather die in battle than slaughter unarmed innocents!" If anyone wants to do this, I'm going to stop it! ”

"Innocent!" Tarot clutched his collar irritably.

"Idiot!"

Mobius hesitated for half a second, and suddenly reached out with a lightning bolt and struck Lilith on the back of the head, apparently trying to subdue the opponent by surprise.

Seeing that his hand was about to hit the back of Lilith's head, a white jade-like hand suddenly thrust diagonally from the side and pinched Morbius's palm.

It's Veronica.

"Veronica?" Morbius was puzzled.

Veronica looked at Morbius with disdain and said, "Old thing, after knowing each other for so many years, I realized that you were actually a coward. ”

"You ......"

Rosen spoke: "Shut up. ”

The people on the balcony immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at Rosen, waiting for his statement.

Rosen smiled faintly: "Don't worry, these civilians won't rush up." ”

"Why?" Morbius was puzzled.

As if in response to his words, the civilians stopped one after another when they were still 40 meters away from the stone house.

After about ten seconds, a mellow voice came from the gap in the courtyard wall: "It's a pity that it didn't scare you." ”

Hearing this voice, Rosen was slightly startled: "Amran, you are not dead?!"

The next second, Amran walked out of the gap: "Yes, I disappointed you, and there are even more disappointments for you." See these innocents? ”

"What do you want to do?" Rosen asked, after this meeting, he had calmed down, although Amran's resurrection was incredible, but after so much experience, he was no longer surprised.

"In 1 hour, I will execute them en masse in the square west of the city! If you want to save them, come to the square alone! Remember, it's you, not one more, otherwise, they'll die very, very tragically! ”
