Chapter 63: The Protector

Uncle, what about my grandmother and grandfather, Ischenova asked earnestly, although Shuvashenki had previously used a relic to imply the fact that Savkoev was dead, Ishennova still hoped for a miracle, and the grandmother whose whereabouts were unknown

Little girl, your grandmother once praised you for singing very well when you were a child, but unfortunately your grandmother and grandfather could no longer hear your beautiful singing, Shuvashenki said something uncomfortable in euphemistic words

Although she had been mentally prepared, when she heard this cruel truth with her own ears, the little girl still found it difficult to accept it, her hands that pulled the corners of her clothes became tighter and tighter, and the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling on the ground, and Ishinova didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and looked at her legs, and after more than ten seconds, she saw a drop of colorless liquid spread on the skirt on her knees, and after holding back for so long, she finally fell the first teardrop, and then the second, third, and fourth...... Like a beaded curtain scattered, she no longer held on, she simply opened her tears and let the tears become streams, and her skirt was completely soaked, but Ischenova did not make a sound, although she had already burst into tears, but she was sensible and did not want to bring more trouble to anyone present, even if she was already broken, she would not cry

Cassius stood up and walked over to comfort her, but was stopped by Shuvashenki, let her go, the old man said

Her grandmother, former Minister of Personnel, Cressuratis, was bitten by the plague while fighting the corpses of the Silverhill at the Throne of Silver, and her body has been routinely burned

As for her grandfather, former Minister of Research, Savikoev, together with Shuvashenki, led the survivors of the Silver Mountain on a long journey to Polfishagrad on the eastern border of the Federation for refuge, during the journey, many people died in the process, but the joint leadership of the two high-ranking officials of the core of power made the team have a strong centripetal force, and on the way absorbed a lot of refugees who fled from other cities, and finally Shuvashenki and Savikoev brought thousands of refugees to Polfishagrad, from the capital to Porfishagrad, there were more than a dozen refugee teams, but in the end only this team could reach completely

However, although the team managed to reach Porfishagrad, the situation was not as good as imagined, or even worse, the city had already become a paradise for the walking dead, and on the other side of the silverwind taiga, the barbarians stationed heavy troops, blocked in front of bows and arrows and horses' hooves, and the magicians who could not cast spells were simply not enough to fight against the barbarians, fortunately, before reaching the time of complete despair, Shuvashenki was in charge of the Ministry of Discipline, and naturally knew all the prisons of all sizes in the country, regardless of the danger, he personally went to the Porfishagrad prison to investigate, and found that the prison was still very pure, and there were no signs of the plague, those vicious prisoners had long since escaped, and the prison's defenses were still intact, so Shuvashenki went through negotiations with SavikoevAfter the refuge, all the refugees who fled to the city and the survivors of the city were placed in the prison, and the prison was used as a shelter

Relying on the strong prison gate to keep the large swarm of insects and walking corpses out, and survive in the prison for two years, waiting for the energy of the Magic Stone in the Valley of Sin to run out, and then take all the refugees to flee from the Valley of Sin to the south, this is the original plan of Shuvashenki and Savikoev, although the plan is very negative, but it is also the safest, the Snowy Federation has stood under the threat of the Central Church for nearly 2,600 years, and now even if it is due to this catastrophe, it will leave some seeds for the Federation, and then find an island that the Central Church forces cannot set foot in to start again

Although the plan is beautiful, the change is unpredictable, about two months ago, a red-haired woman with burn marks all over her body suddenly appeared in the shelter with spatial teleportation magic, grabbed four children, and in the surprised eyes of countless refugees, she once again cast spatial magic, and the parents who lost their children cried and grabbed the ground, and the refugees spontaneously searched everywhere but could not find this woman, there were no pupils in her eyes, and the characteristics of all mad magicians are the same as those of all mad magicians, although a mad magician did not kill. It is incomprehensible that only the children were abducted without destruction, but since it was done after the madness, it is naturally impossible to explain it with common sense, so the vast majority of people, including Shuvashenki and Savikoev, only regard this incident as an accident, and the four families who lost their children have nothing to do but lament their bad luck

When everyone thought that the tragedy was over, but they didn't expect that it was only the beginning, four days later, the woman once again appeared inside the vault using teleportation magic, this time the refugees chose to resist, but their actions angered each other in exchange for a tragic death, the woman stepped over a dozen charred corpses, and brought the other four children into the spatial crack in full view

Since then, every three or five days, this woman will come and take away four children every time, because she is skilled in the use of space and fire magic, every time she enters and exits, she is extremely domineering, the refugees call her the villain's fire, referred to as the evil fire, that is, the red-haired witch known to her partners, in order to resist the evil fire and protect the child, the two high-ranking officials of the core of power used to use the small stock of magic storage stones, activated the magic suppression enchantment in the prison that was originally used to prevent prisoners from escaping, with the protection of the enchantment, the woman can no longer use the space teleportation magic to come and go freely in the prison, even if she can enter the prison through the gate, she will suddenly become completely mana, unable to perform terrifying fire magic

The day after activating the barrier, the refugees were in jubilation when they saw the evil fire they hated to the bone and had no choice but to leave

After a few days, the evil fire did not come to attack the prison again, and it seemed that it was completely worth it to consume the magic storage stone in order to open the magic suppression enchantment, but just when everyone thought that this matter would come to an end, the evil fire once again appeared outside the big iron gate of the prison, and after being silent for half a month, this time she brought a large number of fire rats living in the hot volcanic area in the south, although the magic inhibition enchantment can make the magician unable to sense the elemental fluctuations, but it has no effect on the magical beast itself composed of elements

The flaming rats that successfully rushed into the iron gate seemed to vent their grievances that had been blocked from the door a few days ago, creating a crazy killing panic in the shelter, which spread rapidly in the ranks of the refugees, and a group of battle mages, although they had lost their ability to cast spells, could still become the main force to protect everyone, and they bravely rushed towards the monster with their swords held high...... The outcome of the battle was more tragic than ever, and although the Flare Rat was repulsed, the heroes were all killed, and only Sakharov survived the battle mage in the prison, and if he had not been stunned by the shockwave of the Flaming Rat explosion, he would have been doomed

In order to protect all the children in the vault and not let people sacrifice in vain, Savikoev reopened the giant magic puppet project that had been shelved after the outbreak of the cataclysm, he led all the alchemists in the shelter to study all night, fortunately, they found a secret alchemy room in the prison, which contained perfect equipment and all the alchemical raw materials, so Savikoev's research plan was able to go smoothly, and many alchemists hid in this secret alchemy room. Day and night, the only finished product was finally made before the fifth morning came

Harvey XVI is an improved version of Harvey II that was destroyed by Cassius a year ago, compared with various previous designs, Harvey XVI can be said to be specially designed to restrain the evil fire, Savikoev has installed a large number of magic absorbing crystals in its body, which can absorb all the magical energy cast by hostile magicians and turn it into its own energy to attack the enemy, although no one knows how Harvey XVI's actual combat performance is, but everyone has high hopes for it, when there is no other way, this big man is the only one for everyone. The last hope was that on the afternoon after Harvey XVI was completed, the Vicious Fire attacked again with a large number of firelight rats, and Harvey XVI lived up to expectations, its powerful demon-absorbing ability made the fire magic of the Evil Fire useless, and not only that, the Evil Fire was hit by Harvey XVI's iron fist, and was injured and fled

This perfect victory made everyone in the Vault boil again, but the cheers passed and the people realized that they had lost the greatest contributor to the victory

Savikoev was smiling and leaving, on the way to escape, the old man had already contracted the wind cold, his physical condition deteriorated rapidly, and he worked hard for the refugees, speeding up the burning of the candle of life that was about to be extinguished, and the last feather that overwhelmed the camel was to make the work of Harvey XVI, originally under the double torture of wind cold, disease and overwork, the crippled body had long since died, but the unfulfilled wish made him maintain the tired heart in his body with a tenacious will beyond ordinary people, and beat weakly, until the moment he saw Harvey XVI defeat the fire, Savikoev knew that his research had been a perfect success, and he finally let go of the worries in his heart and lay down comfortablySleep on the ground...... Of course, this sleep will live with heaven and earth for eternity

The funeral was simple and solemn, because Savikoev went with a smile, and Shuvashenki, who had a double responsibility, advised everyone not to cry, he asked everyone to turn their respect and sorrow for Savikoev into an uplifting force, and Harvey XVI was the key to invigoration, and everyone affectionately called it the protector, these days, the protector silently guarded the prison gate, protecting the safety of the 5,000 refugees behind him, and several vicious fire provocations were repelled by the protectors, and in the face of such a nemesis, the woman killed every time䦀 In her opinion, the lifeless magic doll is no longer an instrument of war, but the embodiment of Savikoev, and some people even worship the protector as if he were a god, and under the protection of the protector, many of the already desperate refugees have rekindled the flame of hope

In the minds of all refugees, the protector represents a spirit, a conviction...... Until a few reckless imps completely destroyed the protector in a very savage way.
