Chapter 87: The Purification of Richero (I)

Akajika and Roland rushed all the way to the port to discover the seriousness of the situation.

Elukado's damage to Ricyto was much worse than Roland had imagined.

The earth, paved with fine gravel, was struck by unknown means, and large swaths collapsed and shattered. Within a conical range of several hundred meters, all the buildings were smashed to pieces.

Yes, it can only be described as "smashed" -

The top of the building was shattered, bent sideways or collapsed downward. Most of the wreckage of the buildings had been pinned down slightly. Debris of the building was thrown far away, and some people were crushed inside, wailing in pain and begging for help, while others had already been rescued. In the collapsed area, the rescued and rescuers blocked the road so densely that Roland and Red Tree couldn't squeeze into it at all. I couldn't even find someone to ask about the situation.

The guard who led the way hurriedly left the sentence "I'll go and inform the Marquis, you just stay here and don't move" and disappeared directly into the crowd. Roland and Akajika could only observe their surroundings in boredom.

Intuitively, it's like it's been washed away by a flood or a mudslide. But what seemed strange was that there was not the slightest trace of water on the ground, but there was also no large cloud of dust that burst out of the building when it collapsed.

The first impression for the red tree flower was as if the flood had destroyed the cone-shaped area and then disappeared without a trace.

But is it possible?

He exchanged a look with Roland, and his expression became grim.

Akajika walked quickly to a mountain man whose eyes were full of horror but was not injured, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what happened just now?" ā€

"Just, just...... Over there, over there! A crowd surrounded a woman...... And then there's the red sea! The red sea smashed down! ā€

He shuddered, pointing with a trembling hand to the end of the cone-shaped area of destruction, in the direction of the irregularly shaped collapse point, and exclaimed excitedly, "I am definitely not lying! That's a sea of blood! That's the end of the world! God has come to punish us! God has come to punish the unbelievers! ā€

"God gathered up the sea of blood before me...... He must remember me! He must remember me! God is here to punish us! God is here to punish you! ā€

Just when the middle-aged man of the mountain people was babbling like this, the red tree flower took a step forward. Approaching him, he grabbed the man's neckline, lifted him up slightly, and whispered in his ear: "For the sake of the elders, I will remind you - if you don't want to die, don't say that to anyone else...... Don't forget. This is Carral! A wild land, a land forsaken by God, a karal with all kinds of evil! ā€

Speaking of this, Akajika took a slight breath and calmed down a little. He paused and whispered, "Think about your family, your wife and children...... Be cautious in what you say and do. Don't forget the teachings of the elders. ā€

"I—I know ......"

This middle-aged man with the characteristics of a standard mountain man was pulled by the red tree flower, and finally came back to his senses. Realizing what he said before, he couldn't help but turn pale, and nodded at Akajihua tremblingly: "Yes...... Yes, sir. What are you talking about......"

Seeing that he had calmed down from the fear of death, Akajika slowly put him down, and then reached out and slowly tidied up the quilt neckline for him.

The pale-faced mountain man spoke with difficulty, and thanked him in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency...... Thank you ......."

"Just be obedient. Disobedient people can't be saved if they want to. ā€

Akajika nodded, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but unfortunately she didn't laugh.

He felt inexplicably bored to the point of heat, and as he walked towards Roland, he pulled all the buttons of his shirt on his chest. The sturdy chest, which had been sunburned to the sun, was directly exposed.

He strode over to Roland's side, and opened his arms to the southeast. Filled with the sea breeze, the red oak flower was in a better mood.

Roland ...... Red sea. Do you have any impressions? ā€

Faced with the question muttered by Akaji, Roland shook his head.

Seriously, Roland really didn't know that Elukado had this ability. However, there is no doubt that the scene in front of him was caused by the accidental injury caused by Elukado when he was chasing Edward.

After a moment's thought, Roland said, "It looks like damage from a flood or a mudslide...... But there is no water to be seen on the ground. But if it's an explosion. It's also not right to see dust on the ground. ā€

"That is, is it witchcraft......"

Akajika nodded and muttered, "Wizard...... Only a wizard can have such a bizarre trick. ā€

Hearing this, Roland pursed the corners of his lips and did not speak.

In a sense. Kajika didn't guess wrong.

Enchantment wizards can really unleash sorcery with a similar effect. This is a seven-ring witchcraft, the name of which is Rush, which is a fictional impact on a fortification by a huge stream of water that does not exist. Its descending ring version is called cutting, and it is generally used to cut gemstones and some delicate instruments.

As soon as the sorcery is canceled, these summoned streams of water will disappear into thin air. Unlike the surging wrath, it is a great witchcraft that can truly open the water elemental plane and summon huge waves from it, which can create a river out of thin air.

But it's a pity that the red tree flower went in the wrong direction from the beginning. Therefore, the further he goes, the more outrageous his mistakes become.

Roland decided not to disturb Akaji's thoughts. He must now lower his presence.

He is still under house arrest - because of Akaji's cautious thinking, he has not given up his guard against Roland because of Roland's words. As long as Roland was with Akaji, there was no chance of him escaping.

To put it mildly, so many arrangements outside the Marquis's Mansion are not as effective as Red Oak Flower alone.

It's just that Akajihua originally wanted to go out to look for the undead in the city, so she didn't have time to stay in the Marquis of Saya Mansion and watch Roland.

As for the safety of the Marquis of Saya, Red Oak Flower was not even worried. You know, Lord Marquis is more or less a golden rank. Akajika didn't believe that a gold-tier priest couldn't win against a silver-rank beginner priest who had been disarmed.

Roland naturally knew that Akajika brought herself out at the moment, not to guard herself more closely, but to find evidence to prove Roland's innocence.

At the same time, Roland could also see that Red Tree Flower's mood was actually quite heavy at the moment.

It was as if he had made some very important decision and had taken on some very important responsibility, and there was a kind of glint in his eyes that Roland knew very well.

It was the consciousness of putting one's reputation and one's life at risk. It's exactly the same as the look in Roland's eyes when he first decided to sterilize the sick village at high temperature.

"Roland ......"

Akajika's voice was hoarse: "Let me ask you a question...... Very important question. I would love your opinion. ā€

"Just ask."

Roland's expression also grimened.

"What if...... I mean, what if," Akajika's eyes flashed with some unknown light, and her voice was inexplicably hoarse, "if all the people here were infected with the plague...... What should I do? ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ I think you have to make sure they have the plague first," Roland coughed lightly, "and that's the duty of the Marquis, and it's completely irrelevant to you, isn't it?" ā€

Hearing Roland's ambiguous answer, Akajika shook her head very slowly, revealing a frozen expression like a stone statue.

He looked at the wounded who were dragged out of the rubble, his fists clenched unconsciously, and he whispered word by word: "It's okay if it's okay...... In case, I mean, if something happens, that's my responsibility. ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Because, the one who gave those bandages and potions to them without examining them...... That's me. (To be continued.) )
