Chapter 43: The situation deteriorates
Early the next morning, Sivi, who had suffered from a severe decline in sleep quality, staggered downstairs with a heavy yawn, only to find Theo stepping on a small stool, doing something on the east side of the first floor where there was only a rudimentary kitchen counter.
"Little Miss, I'll do it here, you still rest and wait for breakfast...... Old Weida didn't finish his words, and the pottery tableware in Tiou's hand fell to the ground, and it seemed that he was crushed and had no place to be buried.
Xiwei scratched his hair that was curled up because he didn't sleep well, and walked down in a few steps: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's Lord Edric." Old Weida saw Xiwei walking down, and his old face, which had been bitter since just now, showed a little relieved: "Hurry up and persuade the little lady, she said to make breakfast......"
As he spoke, Old Weida swept the pile of debris on the ground from time to time, as well as a large pile of debris piled up in the corner at some point, I am afraid that most of the pottery in this family has been buried under Theo, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that even if she really makes breakfast, there will be no utensils to hold it.
Sivi walked up to Theo, and the little girl bowed her head as if she knew she was wrong, waiting to be reprimanded.
However, Xiwei only gently touched the girl's silver hair: "Tio, I accept your wishes, but the cooking must be practiced slowly, and it cannot be achieved overnight." How about this for today's exercise, so let's have breakfast with me, right? ”
“…… Kindness. The little girl first looked at Sivi in surprise, then a sweet smile appeared on her face and she nodded vigorously.
Sivi was slightly surprised, this was the first time he had seen Theo's smile.
But soon he came back to his senses and asked Old Weida, who was looking at the pile of debris in silence, "Speaking of which, where are old John and Alyssa?" ”
John went to pick up the cart and bought some supplies to prepare for the rest of the journey. Another lady followed. ”
Seeming that they were quite attentive to what they had said, Sivi hummed in satisfaction, and then sat down at the table, looking out the window waiting for the return of the two of them and the breakfast that Old Whyda was making.
Compared to the desertion of last night, the town of Baker is much more lively now, and even the old Weida house in the alley can faintly hear some shouting and bargaining.
Vampires are nocturnal creatures after all, and the sun's rays have a lethal effect on them, so they are basically inactive during the day, so civilians don't worry about vampires during the day.
On the contrary, it is the walking corpse that suddenly appears and bites when the mouth is opened is even more terrifying.
After about twenty minutes, when the smell of breakfast had begun to faintly fill the air, Sivi suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
The sound outside seemed to have become more lively, but this kind of excitement was different from the previous excitement with a sense of bustle, and it was more inclined to a chaotic feeling, and even screams and scolding could be heard inside.
Just as Sivi was about to go out to see what was going on, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Alyssa's voice.
Using the mage's hand to open the deadbolt, Sivi asked Old John behind Alyssa bluntly, "What's going on outside?" ”
"Master Mage, the town elder ordered the town to be sealed, and now Bike Town is forbidden to leave the city."
Old John replied honestly, and his tooth and cart were not brought back for this reason: "It is said that after the news of this place was reported, it was ordered directly by Horadur, that no one should leave until the clergy of the Holy See came." ”
"Teacher, don't you think it's too strange?" Before Sivi could speak, Alyssa picked up Old John's words, and the blonde girl with two ponytails ran to Sivi like a well-behaved puppy, and said with a small face: "It takes two days to get from here to Horadur, and it will take four days to go back and forth, and the vampire appeared two days ago." But early this morning, I said that I had received an order or something, and it would be strange to say it! ”…,
Xiwei gently knocked on the door of the little girl's head in amusement, and did not stop until the girl covered her forehead and let out a cute cry of 'ahhhhhhhhhhhh Even if you are an apprentice mage, as long as the quality of your magic is good enough and your ability to manipulate magic is acceptable, you can communicate with other magicians who are far away through some specific magic rituals or magic guides. ”
Judging from the bustling nature of Biketown, which is about to become a small city, it is not surprising that the mayor of this town has recruited a junior mage.
"What's more, even if there are no magicians who can communicate magic, most towns have places dedicated to domesticating carrier kites (pigeon-like birds). They can fly much faster than we do, even if it takes about a day. ”
"Is that so......" Alyssa, who covered her forehead, still had some doubts, for a girl who had never left the village, the communication magic that could chat with people thousands of miles away, and the letter kite that could send messages from the sky, were too unimaginable.
"All in all," now that the reason for the chaos outside was clear, Sivi also put a little snag at it: "Let's have breakfast first, after breakfast, Alyssa and I will go to the mayor's house together." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Theo came to him, and without speaking, he just looked at Sivi with big watery eyes.
“…… Okay, okay, just go with Theo. ”
In a sense, this soft shell was the most difficult for Sivi to deal with.
☆
Originally, as a magician, Sivi asked the mayor of the town to give him three points of thin noodles anyway.
But unexpectedly, the mayor of the town was actually attacked by vampires yesterday!
Fortunately, the mayor of Biketown also fought on the battlefield against the orcs, and he also made a third-class meritorious service on the battlefield, plus the magic swordsman, and he finally repelled the vampire at the cost of serious injuries in that battle.
When Sivi saw the mayor, the bandages on the other party's chest were still slowly oozing blood and his pale face all proved the fierceness of the battle last night.
After being attacked by vampires, the mayor of the town was determined not to let anyone leave Biketown until the two members of the Holy See arrived, not even the magicians.
Although revealing the identity of Lord Theo's daughter might be useful, since Sivi always felt that it might cause more trouble, Sivi decided to keep this a secret for now.
"I'm sorry, even if you are in a hurry, Master Mage, I must be responsible for the safety of the townspeople, and I must not let that beast continue to be evil, please understand."
The other party had already said such things, and Xiwei had no choice but to leave first.
"Teacher, what should we do next?" Alyssa asked worriedly.
Sivi touched Elisa's long golden hair, and then touched Tio's silver hair, which showed a look of envy: "I asked Old Weida just now, there is also an exclusive chapel in Bakertown, let's go there first." Maybe there will be clues about vampires. ”
