Chapter 135: The Longest Night

Xiao Chen and Luo Ling came out of the warehouse and saw that the market outside the door could only be described as a mess. The bonfire was still burning, but the dancing crowd was long gone. There were quite a few civilians on the ground who were participating in the revelry. But their souls have entered the book and become the nourishment that makes up the ghost warriors.

As they walked along, they saw the tragic deaths of young and old, men and women, all dressed in festive clothes, as if they were happily celebrating the arrival of the New Year at the last moment they fell. However, at this time, it was lying on the streets, and no one cared about it.

Xiao Chen even saw that the bodies of several people were lit by bonfires, lying there and burning quietly. Some of the soldiers of the city guard stood around lazily, pointing at the dead, but they had no intention of stepping forward to clean up.

Xiao Chen suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart, the pride of the king before ran away without a trace, at this moment, he only felt resentment in his heart, especially seeing a few children also fall to the side of the road, which made him have a little urge to cry.

"Maybe I should have unleashed a Fear Heart spell in the first place and scared these people away completely. He whispered.

"Don't blame yourself for the sins of others, we are not prophets, and I feel that we have done our best when possible. Luo Ling coughed gently, she had not recovered from the backlash, she had been pressing her injuries when she was negotiating with the king just now, and now when she walked outside, the feeling of discomfort began to flood out of her body. She clasped his arm tightly. "Let's get out of here, though. I don't want to stay here anymore. ”

The two walked in the direction of the bridge, but even when they walked out of the market, they could still see people lying on the side of the road. Some people died, many more were out of strength or injured, and the dance just exceeded the limits of their muscles and hurt their legs and feet.

Screams, weepings and wails can be heard along the way.

When they were about to reach the shore, they saw a person slowly walking in front of them, this person was very short, his appearance was not good, but he had a solemn aura. There were many signs of tearing on his clothes, and a gust of wind blew and flipped up one by one like tiny flags.

When the man's eyes swept over Xiao Chen and the two, he narrowed slightly, making Xiao Chen's heart suddenly beat wildly, he had an intuition that if this person wanted to kill him, he might only need one action.

However, the man did not do anything but walked in the direction of the market.

"This man is very, very powerful. Xiao Chen said with palpitations.

"I could feel that he didn't like us. But there seems to be something ...... Afraid?" Luo Ling said.

"Fear, can't it?"

"You're sluggish in that regard, but I can feel his emotions. Luo Ling said.

"It seems that the Sage is very concerned about you. Two more people appeared in front of him.

"Priest Roland, Master Kona. Xiao Chen found that the two seemed to be a little more embarrassed than the previous person. Both of their robes had been reduced to strips of beggar's garbs, Priest Roland's left eyebrow was missing a knot, and Master Kona's beard was only half gone.

"Your Excellency Xiao Chen. Ah, and Miss Luo Ling, it's been a long time. Priest Roland didn't care much about his image, but Master Kona took a robe from the storage ring, draped it over himself, and then wiped his hand on his chin, and simply shaved his beard clean.

"What Sage are you talking about?"

"The one who just walked past you is the Thousand Thousand Sword Saint Benegas. Roland said, "Master Kona and I were still wondering why the Sage came down from the sky. Now it looks like he's just there to see you. ”

"Actually, now I feel even weirder. Why did he come to see Xiao Chen. Master Kona said.

"Well, it's nothing, there are always secrets we don't know. Secrets are like grass seeds that grow everywhere. ”

"You two and the Benegas Sage have just fought in the heavens?" Xiao Chen asked.

"It's not so much a competition as a crush. Master Kona sighed and said, "There are five of us, and we have been pressed and beaten by the Sage. Two of us are okay, and the other three have already gone back to heal. I'm still a long way from the Holy Order, and if it weren't for the changes on the ground that exceeded everyone's imagination and made us stop fighting, we probably wouldn't have been able to set foot on the land on this side of the river by now. ”

"Eventually, though, we did, didn't we?" Priest Roland seemed unimpressed.

"So Benegas is on the interception side, with them. ”

"Looks like you've found something interesting on this side of the river, tell me, how did you end up in the market area? Priest Roland asked.

Xiao Chen roughly talked about the cause and effect of the incident. In front of these two people, Xiao Chen did not hide anything, but told the truth and told the king's plan. And also showed them a video of the king's promise. However, Xiao Chen omitted the part about the Spirit Tower, just saying that the other party had obtained the secret technique of the undead and wanted to create and control a large number of undead.

"It's Dean II and Demian who are playing tricks, and this old fellow of ours seems to have a knack for acting. Actually hid it from all of us. Roland said to Master Kona.

"Fortunately, Xiao Chen stopped that madman from Demian, otherwise it would have ......," Master Kona shook his head, "In history, it is not uncommon for a necromancer to create an army of undead. ”

"Xiao Chen did the right thing. Killing Demien is fine, but killing the king is a terrible choice, but it's a good idea to teach him a lesson. Roland said, "These days, it is better for the royal capital to be calmer. As for the King's promise, we old fellows will not give him a chance to break his promise. ”

After saying goodbye to the two, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling came to the bridge and found that both sides of the bridge were blocked, and there were many civilians stranded in the noble area to participate in the parade, and there were also many small nobles in the civilian area. However, as mages, they soon returned to the noble district via the bridge.

"I can finally go back, today is the longest night of my life. Xiao Chen stood under the bridge and said to Luo Ling, "Thank you!"

"Thank you, it's strange to come here all of a sudden. Luo Ling lowered her head and said.

Xiao Chen suddenly stepped forward and hugged her: "There are too many things to thank you, and you can't tell it clearly just by talking." ”

"There's a lot of people around. Luo Ling pushed twice, but Xiao Chen didn't let go.

"Where did you come from, I see you in my eyes now. Xiao Chen said with a grin.

"It's silly. Luo Ling gave up struggling, rested her head lightly on his shoulder, and closed her eyes.

"Brother Xiao, you're too good at opening your eyes and talking nonsense, aren't you? Katerina's voice came from the side, "It's a shame that everyone is worried about death, and they are looking for you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to enjoy a romantic time here." ”
