Chapter 248: The Market After the Night

It was the height of summer, but the grass on the ground showed ugly spots, and large areas of grass showed the appearance of decay and withering. The warm air, in addition to the fluttering of the wings of flies, was filled with the stench of burnt and a faint smell of blood, and if this smell were to be made into a perfume, it would surely be the subject of disaster and suffering. I'm afraid no one will like this smell except the god of calamity. Compared to the market, where you can feel the vitality of the market as soon as you get closer, it is like a scene of two worlds. But the reality is that it only took one night to change from the latter to the former, and before that, it was only a few days.

Awakened, Atta and Batu were in good health, and the group of four decided to go to the market and the tribe to check on the situation after no search for Cheese's whereabouts in the vicinity. What they saw was this bleak scene, how tragic the battle was last night, in fact, the four of them did not see it with their own eyes, and it can be guessed from what happened to them that it was fortunate that the tribe at this time was not reduced to a ruin. Many died last night, but many more are still alive, and tribal soldiers can already be seen on the outskirts of the bazaar in an organized search for survivors and the removal of the evil that still remains.

Fortunately, sunlight is on the side of humans. The evil creatures that came with Aleiel would be greatly weakened during the day, even if they would not be reduced to ashes in the sunlight, otherwise these tired human warriors would not be able to complete their mission successfully. Lothar and they wanted to help, but they themselves were not in a good condition. Although magic brought them back to life, the bloodstains, stains, torn clothes, and non-fatal wounds on their bodies did not disappear because of magic, and no one would believe them to say that they were also lucky enough to survive in this market.

According to their thoughts, it was the wisest choice to go to the white wolf first, after all, in this tribe, they were the only one who was more familiar with this person. I just don't know how his camp ended up last night after it was besieged. However, before they were halfway to the market, another familiar face came into view. And the eyes on that face apparently spotted them as well, and hurried to meet them.

"You guys look terrible. I think you must have had a memorable night. The young Tieletou had a smile on his face, and no matter how embarrassed they looked, they were still alive.

"I don't mind telling you how bad last night was. But before that, how did you get here? What is the situation now?" asked the Count, smiling wryly, leaning on his battle axe.

Uvel pointed to a tent that looked intact not far away, and walked in with a few people. It can be seen that this is a place similar to a temporary command post, and several people are not polite, sitting on the blankets, waiting for the answer of the leader. Uvel beckoned, beckoned a few words to one of his subordinates, and then sat down as well, "This, it's not a sentence or two that can be explained." I'll ask people to get some food and drink, it's all for emergency use, don't dislike it. Anyway, if you hadn't met me, you would have gone to find the white wolf, right?"

"How do you know?" Although the relationship between the team and the white wolf is not a secret, it should not have been specifically told to Uvel. That's because Tieletou's position is so delicate that when they had nowhere to go just now, several people didn't think of looking for him, but chose to go to Ensaur, whose fate was unknown. So now, how did the former know about this relationship?

"Don't be nervous. I know it's because he told me to come to you. But as you can see, the whole market is in shambles, and my people can't cope with the search and rescue alone, and they don't have time to go farther. But fortunately, you didn't wait for me to look for it, but you came back on your own. It's just that I'm glad you met me, if you just enter the tribe like this, I'm afraid you won't see the white wolf. When Uvel said this, his attendant, who had just gone to fetch food and drink, came in with hot water and dry cakes, put his things in front of a few people, and left.

After a fierce battle, the four people were not polite, and even the rough rations of the march and the tasteless hot water were delicious in their mouths. The Count looked up in the middle of swallowing the bread in his mouth and asked, "Why do you say we can't see Ensoul? ”

"Definitely. Not only is his life safe now, but he is even popular. It is said that last night's chaos in the tribe was a pot of porridge, and it was he and the fourth son of the wolf lord who calmed the chaos together, and also gathered the remaining heirs to complete the fire call ceremony to repel the evil that was intended to be committed. It is no exaggeration to say that the current Enzoud is the hero of the clan, if it weren't for the fact that he was too unpopular before, it is not impossible to be elected as the leader of the clan through this incident. And even if no one says so now, the affairs of the tribe are now faintly arranged around him. It's just that by the time I followed Nuisa, the situation had almost stabilized, and I couldn't see the hero's posture in the chaos. ”

After learning about the current situation of the white wolf, several people were relieved, but of course this was not reflected in their rapid eating. Or Lothar, as a knight, he eats the fastest, and knows best how much food he should eat in his stomach, and when he reaches enough amount, he doesn't eat more, and then asks the leader, "What about the old shaman, and how is he after the fire summoning ceremony?"

Uvel blinked, he didn't expect Lothar to ask this question, so he looked left and right, and then whispered, "I don't know why you're asking about him, but I don't know much about it." All I heard were rumors. It is said that the price of the fire invocation ceremony is the life of the fire spirit shaman, and the shaman must be burned in order to invite the fire spirit to come. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the team members changed, but fortunately, the leader did not stop, "But there seems to be something wrong with this ceremony, I don't know the specifics, I only heard speculation that the ceremony was forcibly interrupted by external forces, and the spirit of fire lost both sides of the other party in order to dispel evil." And the old shaman also picked up a life because of the interruption of the ceremony, but he had a large area of burns on his body, and he was temporarily unable to move. For more specific content, you can ask Wu Qi, who has also been recruited to help the tribe as a shaman, and it is estimated that he will return later. By the way, after talking about it for a long time, what about your wizards? Why didn't you see it?"

The joy of knowing that Lichou was still there, with the question fell silent again. Uvel noticed the change in mood of several people, and the color on his face also changed, "Really. I will say that it is so, that Aleie has never been defeated by the gods, and the gods cannot help mortals against natural disasters, because natural disasters are the same as them. In this way, the real hero may be someone else. ”

"He's not a hero, and he doesn't want to be a hero. It means nothing to him. Besides, it's just gone, maybe it was washed away last night. ”

"Yes. The head man nodded, not delving into the question, he didn't want Cheese to die like this, "If that's the case, you can go to the shamans and ask, they know this grassland very well, as long as the people are still here, they can always find it." ”
