Chapter 227: Cold Night
Time flies, when Lawson rescued people from the west square of the city, the time was about one o'clock in the afternoon, but in the blink of an eye, the sun went down in the west, night fell, and after the warm sunlight was gone, the air began to cool down rapidly, and it quickly reached below freezing.
'Woo~~~Woo~~~~'
The cold wind howled like a ghost's cry, cold like a dagger pierced into the bones, and the night in the north had just begun.
On the ruins of the academy, people huddled into piles of ground, sheltered as far as they could, as close to the fire as possible, hoping to draw more warmth from the fire.
Behind a broken stone wall, Vincent and his new wife, as well as a group of successful businessmen such as Claude and Paran, huddled together to make a fire.
These merchants came from a well-to-do family, and the clothes they wore were much thicker than the average person, so they were in a better situation than most people at this time, and at least they had some strength for small talk.
"Vincent, are you sure your friend can really find food?" Paran's voice suddenly rang out, and it was so soft that it could only be heard clearly if he was very close.
Vincent was stirring the fire with a stick, hoping to make it burn more vigorously, and when he heard this, he was stunned and said, "Rosen is a very learned magician, and very powerful, I believe in him." ”
A cold wind blew, Palan couldn't help but shrink his neck, he sniffed his nose, reached out to wipe the snotty hanging under his nose, and then turned his head to look at the stone house not far away: "From the afternoon to now, there has been no movement in the stone house." I admit that Rosen is very powerful, but no matter how strong he is, can he still conjure bread out of thin air? ”
The question was very sharp, and Vincent couldn't answer it, because he didn't know it himself, and in fact, he couldn't figure it out, and the reason why he was willing to believe Rosen's words was simply because he trusted Rosen's character.
Claude, who was on the side, had been listening to the conversation between the two, and then interjected: "If we can't find food tomorrow, our group is not a big problem, everyone is a reasonable person, and if we can't find anything to eat, then there is no way, and we can only go hungry." I'm afraid that the one-eyed wolf guy will make trouble. ”
Upon hearing the one-eyed wolf, Paran smiled disdainfully: "He dares!" Not anymore. In the past, he was a gangster and collected protection money everywhere, and everyone endured it. Who is he facing now? That's a magic master who kills monsters with the same ease as killing dogs, and he dares to call at this time, but he doesn't die fast enough. ”
Vincent nodded, "Paran is right. This is a powerful matter, and the one-eyed wolf can still see it clearly. ”
Claude shook his head: "Relying on the one-eyed wolf alone, of course he wouldn't dare." But just now, I saw a young magician whispering to him. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but when I looked at it, I knew it wasn't good! ”
Vincent was taken aback: "You mean, the magician in the stone house has a different heart?" ”
Claude tightened his fur scarf, bowed his body, and whispered, "Don't forget, the academy's magicians have a reputation for arrogance that is well-known on the mainland. And Rosen, not only an outsider, but also a southerner, do you think the academy magician will be convinced? ”
This is very reasonable, and Paran gasps: "Won't it? Lord Lawson's magical power is obviously much higher than that of the academy magicians, even if the academy magicians are not convinced, what else can they do? ”
Claude smiled: "You're right, but as far as I've observed, Lord Rosen is magically invulnerable, but he treats people a little too sincerely, but in this world, there are many people who have a heart better than a viper." You see, in that drama, don't all heroes die at the hands of villains? ”
"No, I'll have to warn Lawson."
Vincent couldn't sit still, stood up, and walked in the direction of the stone house.
Claude hurriedly called out to him: "Vincent, stop, are you going to look for death?" ”
Vincent was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
He didn't understand it for a moment, but Paran understood, and he stood up and reached out to bring Vincent back, but Vincent remained motionless.
Paran was impatient, and with a fierce force, he forcibly brought Vincentra back, and said slightly angrily: "I said brother, you are stupid! The stone house is full of academy magicians, and you have no evidence now, so you directly say that there are academy magicians who are making trouble, who believes you? Even if Lord Lawson believes you, he doesn't have any evidence, so he can't just do it, right? He can't just do it, but you're off the magicians. They do a little magic, can you stop it? You must be dead in vain! ”
"I can always go and give Rosen a heads-up, right?" Vincent was still not convinced.
Claude opened his mouth to persuade: "Brother, you are good at everything, shrewd and capable, but sometimes you are too sincere, and when your head is hot, you can go out to help your friends." For us ordinary people, there's nothing wrong with that, but you have to see who your friend is. I don't think he's a great magician, it's not far off. What is the Grand Magician? It's a man-eating tiger, and the people around him are at least wolves, leopards, and other fierce beasts. You have a little rabbit in the past, and people will you casually, can you stand it? ”
Vincent's new wife, Elena, didn't speak, but she clutched the corner of Vincent's clothes tightly, her eyes full of reluctance.
Vincent couldn't stand such a gaze the most, and after a stalemate of more than ten seconds, his tense body finally softened: "Is there no way?" ”
Claude smiled, took out a cigarette butt from his coat pocket, carefully stuffed a few cigarettes into it, put it in the fire and lit it, and took a hard puff, and then said, "Well, it's not our business." Although poisonous snakes are dangerous, heroes are not easy to mess with. In this history, there are countless poisonous snakes that have been pinched to death by heroes. ”
"Hey~~~ Rosen was sincere to me, but at the critical moment, I couldn't help at all." Vincent looked at the bandages around his ankles and slammed his fists hard into the ground.
In the afternoon, Rosen came over to wash his ankle carefully, and applied medicine, and by now, his ankle is basically no longer painful. Thinking back to Rosen's help before, Vincent only felt that he was as useless as a wasted man.
When Claude saw this, he persuaded, "Brother, you don't have to be like this. We can still help if we can. During the day, you're a good helper. If it weren't for your voice, Lord Lawson wouldn't have quelled the riots so quickly, would he? ”
Vincent was silent.
Paran patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Okay, brother, don't dwell on it for a while. There will be a long time for you to repay it. ”
Vincent nodded, convinced.
While the merchants were worried, in the corner of the ruins, a man with a black blindfold and only one brown eye was whispering to a group of people.
This one-eyed man is very strong, more than one meter nine tall, with a face full of horizontal flesh, and his momentum is very fierce.
He whispered, "Guys, I just got the news that the magician Lawson is a necromancer!" He's not going to look for anything to eat, he's just stalling until we're hungry and out of energy, and then he's unleashing necromancy on us! ”
"Hiss~" There was a sound of cold air.
"Big brother, is this news reliable?" Someone asked.
"Of course it's reliable!" The one-eyed man glared at the man, then softened his tone and continued, "I was told this by a magician in the stone house. He told me that that Lawson was not only a necromancer himself, but also that he was accompanied by 3 monsters. You also saw it during the day, and that beautiful woman in red was a monster! And that freak with golden eyes, it's definitely not a good thing either! ”
"That's right!"
"Those two women are too beautiful, I thought it was abnormal when I first saw it, it turned out to be monsters!"
"Big brother, that necromancer is so strong, how can we be opponents?" Someone asked again.
As soon as he finished speaking, his head was slapped hard by the one-eyed man: "Stupid! Of course, we can't beat it head-on, but we can come quietly! Besides, we're just helpers. The ones who really do it are the magicians in the stone house, and they are the main force! ”
"Oh~~" A group of people were relieved when they heard that they were not the main force.
"Big brother, what are we going to do?" Someone asked.
"That's what we do. Tomorrow morning......." The one-eyed man's voice was very low, like the hissing of a viper.
The night was getting colder.
