In the end, Vincent still couldn't escape the monster's search.

A ghoul, stinking of corpses, clawed through the door of the cellar and forcibly pulled him out of the cellar.

The ghoul's hands were colder than the corpses, and his hands were covered with slimy liquid, and when the monster's hand grabbed Vincent's ankles, Vincent's whole body was cold, and he struggled uncontrollably, kicking his feet out hard to escape the monster's grasp.

But it was all in vain, and the ghoul, though smaller than an adult, had overwhelming power, and it grabbed Vincent's ankle so tightly that its claws sank deep into Vincent's skin, and even into the bones of his ankle, and dragged Vincent out of the cellar alive.

"Squeak~~~"

The ghoul screamed, as if mocking Vincent's weakness and as if celebrating victory, and squeaked a few times, and another ghoul appeared by the cellar.

The new ghoul didn't look at Vincent and went straight into the cellar.

"No !!" Vincent struggled against all odds to rush back into the cellar.

But it was all in vain, and no matter how much he moved, he could not escape the ghoul's control, but instead made the injuries on his ankles even worse, and in two places even exposed Sensen's bones.

Just then, the screams of a young woman were heard from the cellar, and immediately after, a woman was dragged out by a ghoul.

"Elena! No! Vincent shouted in despair.

Elena, his new wife, they fell in love at first sight four months ago, on the Day of the Celestial Gods, they made a sacred vow of marriage, but they did not expect that immediately after, Nilogaard fell into a catastrophe.

At the critical moment, Vincent took his wife into the cellar to take refuge, and after a hard night, he thought he had escaped, but he didn't think that he was still discovered by ghouls.

In the hands of ghouls, the only end is death.

At this moment, Vincent's heart was cold, and in this last moment, the only thing he could do was to look at his wife Elena and say loudly: "Elena, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! When we die, we will meet again in Heaven! ”

Elena's tears fell big and big: "Vincent, I don't want to die~~ Woo, I don't want to die!" ”

Vincent's heart was wrenched when he listened, but he was helpless.

Strangely, for several minutes, death did not come, and instead of biting at their flesh, the two ghouls who had seized him and Elena 'squeaked' as if they were talking.

"What's going on?" Vincent wondered in his heart.

Just then, a werewolf scurried up to the two of them, and he howled twice at the two ghouls, who handed them over to the werewolves.

The werewolf strode down an alley with Vincent in one hand and Elena in the other, as if he were carrying two rag dolls.

Vincent was shaken to the ground, and it took a while for him to get used to it, and he looked at the buildings on the street, and his heart became more and more strange: "It's the way to the west square of the city, what the hell is going on?" ”

The werewolf was very fast, and after a few minutes, it led the two to the west square of the city, where it tossed Vincent and Elena to the ground at random, and then turned around and left.

Vincent was stunned, and it took him a moment to recover, and he struggled to his feet, and reached out to help Elena beside him. After the two of them stood still, they were immediately stunned by the situation in the square.

The west square is one of the most prosperous bazaars in Nilogaard, and is often used for large festivals, when the surrounding buildings are still hung with colorful flags and flowers, but the ground is littered with blood and corpses.

These corpses were dressed in dress to celebrate the Celestial Festival, and in the first half of the night, they were still celebrating the festival, and in the second half of the night, they became the target of monsters' frenzied hunting.

As far as the eye can see, the corpses are piled up around the square like garbage, and there are all kinds of monsters lying on the corpses, all of them are holding the corpses and tearing at the flesh on them, their faces and bodies are covered with coagulated blood, and at a glance, they look like demons crawling out of hell.

"My god~ Is this hell?" Elena was shaking uncontrollably, she was so frightened that she would have collapsed on the ground if Vincent hadn't held her hard.

Vincent was in a better situation, as a businessman, he had traveled far and wide, seen many tragic events, and although he was extremely shocked, he could barely maintain his composure.

He found that in addition to the large number of corpses, there were also many living people concentrated in the center of the square, and in the passages around the square, there were constantly werewolves sending more living people over.

Vincent counted a little, and the number of living people in the center of the square was about 500, and it was still increasing rapidly. Most of these people were as frightened as Elena, but a few remained calm.

"Let's go, let's go."

Vincent hugged Elena hard and limped towards the crowd.

Most of the people did not react to their arrival, they either sat in a daze or cried heartbreakingly. When Vincent walked to the edge of the crowd, someone in the crowd suddenly beckoned to him: "Vincent, this way, come this way." ”

Vincent followed the sound and saw a richly dressed white-haired old man waving at him. He knew this man, his name was Claude, the owner of the Sequoia Trading Company, he was very shrewd, but he did not lose his integrity, and the two had many business dealings, and their friendship was not bad.

He took his wife and squeezed through the crowd to sit down beside Claude: "Old man, you are still alive. ”

Claude smiled wryly: "What are you talking about?" Are you glad I'm dead? ”

Vincent was suddenly embarrassed: "No, no, I'm happy." ”

Claude smiled miserably: "I won't be happy for long, we will die here soon." ”

Hearing this, Vincent's face was full of bitterness, and he tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and wrapped the wound on his ankle vigorously: "Hey, who would have thought that something like this would happen to Nilogaard. The group of magicians in the academy are usually high and arrogant, but they didn't expect such a bad thing. ”

Without thinking about it, when Claude heard this, he said softly: "It's true that it's not true, but those magicians are not useless. Last night's battle was very fierce, and the monsters died a lot, but in the end, the academy still failed. ”

"Well, as I thought, there was a lot of movement last night." Vincent was not surprised, the terrifying explosion could be heard by anyone who was not blind.

Claude quickly looked to the left and right, and continued, "I heard that the academy magicians are not dead yet, and we may still be saved. ”

Vincent's heart jerked, and he immediately asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"The monster said that when I was caught, I pretended to be unconscious on the road, and I happened to hear two female night demons chatting on the side of the road. They said that there was a very powerful magician in the academy who would kill someone if he made a move. Claude spoke softly, looking left and right for fear of being heard by the monster.

A glimmer of hope rose in Vincent's heart, but soon, the flame of hope was extinguished by reason, and he smiled bitterly: "So what? No matter how powerful that magician is, he is only one person, and he can kill all the monsters? ”

This sounds very reasonable, and Claude also sighs: "Who said it wasn't." My old bones, my days are numbered, and if I die, I will die, but it's a pity that you, still so young, encountered such a thing. ”

Vincent's heart was miserable, and he lost the interest in speaking, he hugged his new wife tightly, patted his hand lightly on the other party's back, and tried his best to calm her emotions.

Claude couldn't stay idle, and after a while, he said again: "You say, those monsters have been sending people here, what are you trying to do?" ”

"Who knows, maybe it's to gather people together and have a good meal." Vincent was so depressed that if it weren't for Elena by his side, he would have even tried to find a way to kill himself, so as not to suffer from this despair.

At this moment, another person moved over, and he took over the conversation and said, "These monsters are not here to eat us, but to blackmail our opponents. ”

"Trying to blackmail your opponent?" Vincent and Claude looked at the man at the same time.

This guy is about 40 years old, with black hair, a short and chubby body, a very round face, and a kind face.

"Paran, you guy is still alive." Claude chuckled.

Palan, the head of the Lion Chamber of Commerce, the Lion Chamber of Commerce is a large chamber of commerce in Nilogaard, the director of Palau is a business wizard, under his control, the Lion Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly, and before today, it was already one of the three major chambers of commerce in Nilogaard, but unfortunately, with Nilogaard being attacked by monsters, all this has come to naught.

"It's my life." Paran smiled.

Vincent was still paying attention to his previous words, and he asked anxiously, "You just said that you were to blackmail your opponent?" What's going on? How do you know? ”

"I saw it with my own eyes." Paran smiled.

"Hiss~ Tell me, what's going on?" Claude was also in a hurry.

Paran continued, "As you know, my family lives outside the Academy, and last night, there was no stopping in the Academy, and many great things happened, many of which I saw with my own eyes. ”

Speaking of this, Paran turned his head to look at Claude and said, "The news you heard is right, there is indeed a very powerful magician in the academy, very, very powerful, those monsters saw him, they all took a detour, and they didn't dare to mess with him at all." The leader of the monster is a guy named Amran, and he really can't help it, so he uses us as a blackmail. ”

"Is it really that powerful?" Vincent was willing to believe it, but it sounded too mysterious.

Paran said seriously: "Of course it's true, when has this been, how can I have the heart to joke with you." ”

"That'...... Will this magician come to our rescue? Claude had a hint of hope on his face.

Vincent also stared at Paran, waiting for his answer.

Paran shook his head slightly: "I don't know, but if this matter were for me, I would never come, because this is obviously a death trap, what is the difference between coming and sending him to death?" ”

The light of hope in Vincent and Claude's eyes dimmed.

Claude shook his head and sighed, "You're right. Those magicians are very sane, the more powerful the magician, the more sensible and almost ruthless the reason, there is no way he can take such a huge risk to save us. As for us, I am afraid that we will fall victim to this blackmail plan. ”

Vincent sat down on the ground, he only felt that the wound on his ankle was getting more and more painful, the pain was scorching, the blood oozing from the wound had turned slimy black, and it still emitted an unpleasant stench.

His mood became more and more gloomy: 'Hey~ What if I come to save him? The ghoul's claws are highly poisonous, and even if I am saved, I won't live long, but it's a pity for Elena...... Hey~'

Paran and Claude were also silent, and the three of them just sat on the ground, waiting for their fate.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, there was an unusual noise coming from one of the streets, and it didn't sound like a human, but like the screams of a monster.

"What happened?" Vincent looked up blankly.

Paran had already reacted, he slammed up from the ground, and shouted excitedly, "It's that magician!" It's definitely him! He's here to save us! He's coming! ”
