Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Vanishing Villagers

The wooden door was pushed open, and Merlin cautiously walked inside, and it wasn't long before he came out again, "There's no one inside." ”

Merlin did not relax, but became more nervous, the village under the mountain was quiet, the post station on the mountain was empty, there was no obvious sign of damage around, but there was a signal flare, there was a great possibility here, it was attacked by a demonic beast, but everything was too weird.

The villagers, the teams sent by the academy in the post station, all of them were wiped out in a way that can be said to be crushed?

Only when the strength of the two is incomparably different, will there be such a situation of toppling on one side, whether it is a village or a post station, there is no trace of destruction.

This is not a good phenomenon, it can only show that the demonic beasts that invaded here, with the strength of Merlin's intermediate magician, have no way to solve this incident at all.

But they've chosen to come here.

After thinking for a while, Merlin said, "Let's go down the mountain and have a look." "Either way, there should always be some clues to be found.

The village below the hill is very quiet, there are no dogs barking, no chickens crowing, and even the nests in the trees are inhabited by birds.

"Come into the village and take a look, everyone be careful. ”

The group walked into the village and came to the house closest to the entrance of the village, Noah and the others walked in, pushed the door open, and they saw tables, chairs and other furniture, which were neatly placed and did not see chaos.

I searched the house and there was no one.

Out of the house, they went to the second house, and in the same situation, the house was clean and neat, and there was no chaotic scene to be seen, as if nothing had happened when the master's house left.

They walked to the third household, and this time, Noah and the others saw a different scene, the teacups on the table were messy, and a few fell to the ground and shattered.

Noah and the others carefully examined the house, and there were no bodies and no blood.

This family seems to have left the house for something.

Combined with the previous call for help, such a situation is normal, indicating that the villagers have discovered something and hurriedly began to flee.

The fourth household

Fifth household

......

After going to more than a dozen houses in a row, Noah and the others saw the messy furniture, and it can be seen that these people were all at home at the time, and they chose to run away from home at about the same time.

"It shouldn't be a monster. Merlin said.

Standing in the courtyard of another family, Merlin looked at the dishes on the ground and said: "There are no obvious traces of damage to the houses here, and judging from the similar runaway situation, this village should have encountered an attack with a large number of demonic beasts, and the furniture of these houses has not been destroyed on a large scale, indicating that the attack methods of the demonic beasts that launched the attack are not biased towards strength." ”

Merlin groaned and continued, "It seems that there is only one kind of Snake Beast in this Demonic Beast Mountain Range that is suitable for living in groups and will not cause large-scale destruction. ”

As he spoke, Merlin frowned, "The snake demonic beasts that can make the titled mercenaries and mages miss should all survive in the depths of the demonic beast mountain range, at least, they must continue to go hundreds of miles deep into the cypress grassland, how did they come here?"

The more information he discovered, the more doubts grew, Merlin scratched his hair in distress, his knowledge of Warcraft was really limited, and it was really impossible for him to analyze a large amount of information just by relying on preliminary observations.

"Go ahead and see. "We can't analyze the reason, we can only get more information.

After a short time, they came to the end of the village, a place with a backdrop to the mountain forest, and all the houses were checked, without exception, there was no one in the house, and the villagers here seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Merlin was distressed, and at the same time a little irritable.

"Look at the ground. Noah spoke.

"What's wrong with the ground?"

Noah's words caught everyone's attention, and Merlin looked at the ground in unison.

They saw nothing but hard dirt, and some dried dust.

Noah said: "Although it is no longer obvious, if you look closely, you can still see that there are traces of footprints on the ground. ”

Noah stepped forward and pointed to a clearing, "There are many and mixed footsteps here, and there were many people gathered here at that time.

It can be seen from the footprints along the way just now that all the villagers fled in the direction of this, but they obviously escaped from the village, but stopped here, there are two possibilities, one is that the demonic beasts behind the villagers are no longer chasing, and the other is that there are demonic beasts in front of them. ”

Noah stepped forward, walked to the grassy mud in front of him and squatted down, observed for a moment and said, "The footprints here have become relatively stable, but this shouldn't mean that the crisis is over." ”

Merlin and the others stood there staring, and the ground they saw, except for dirt, was dirt, footprints, where were they?

Noah shook his head, the method of investigation is not something that can be explained clearly, it requires a lot of experience to accumulate, and also, recognize an experienced senior as a master.

Noah didn't think that any of the people in front of him would recognize him as a master, and he didn't explain anything, and continued to talk about his discovery.

"All the villagers, they should have been driven here by the demonic beasts, and then, they were taken into the mountain, from beginning to end, we didn't find any blood, these are a few good signs, indicating that the villagers and our people are still alive. Noah said.

His words made David shudder, "Is the Warcraft so smart?"

Noah smiled and said, "I don't think Warcraft can do such a thing, but now in the Warcraft Mountain Range, there are not only Warcraft." ”

Merlin was a little surprised, "You mean it's artificial?"

Noah shook his head, "I'm not sure, everything I've said so far is just speculation. Noah looked at Merlin. "Has this ever happened in previous years?"

Merlin smiled bitterly, "The last time the Monster Riot was a junior mage. ”

In other words, I don't know, junior magicians are not qualified to lead the team.

The scene was a little awkward for a moment.

"So what now, go into the mountains and look for it?" Davy coughed.

Merlin nodded seriously after thinking about it, "No matter what, people will definitely go to find it." ”

"Whether it's a human or a monster, driving the villagers up the mountain must be planning something, the enemy who can control the titled mercenaries is not something we can solve, this is beyond our ability, we still wait for reinforcements, right?" Noah said, he smelled a hint of conspiracy, although he was not 100% sure, but at this moment Noah was already biased towards this matter was artificial, Merlin Shen was involved, obviously to deliver food.

If Merlin was sure, Noah wouldn't stop Merlin from saving people, but Merlin made such a choice, just driven by justice in his heart.

Merlin hesitated, but only for a moment, and he said seriously: "According to what you say, those villagers may still be alive now, I will go into the mountains to see, you are waiting for reinforcements here." ”

Merlin admits that he is a lazy man, but he also has his own insistence.

"I'll go with you. Noah spoke, his strength has not fully recovered, but it is definitely a little stronger than Merlin, with him, their lives will be better protected, he is just a child, he will not be too guarded, and it will definitely have a surprise effect.

Merlin was surprised, this surprise disappeared in a flash, but the meaning of the expression was obvious, among the four of Bron, Hale, David and you, you are the weakest, and it is not you who want to go, even if, he has seen Noah's powerful detection ability, about Noah's ability to release magic, Merlin does not know, he has not appeared when Noah practiced magic a few times.

In the face of this questioning look, Noah didn't care, suspecting that this kind of thing would not cause substantial harm at all, and Noah ignored it a long time ago.

Eventually, Merlin shook his head, "You're waiting for me here." ”

He didn't want these children to take risks, his talent was lower, and he was only an intermediate magician at this age, but these children were different, their superior talents were destined to be countless in their future lives.

Not allowing Noah to refuse, Merlin was already walking towards the mountains.

Noah sighed, unknown, this is an uplifting word, but if you want to understand the unknown, you must make contact, and the price of contact, the greatest possibility, is life.

Merlin had already made a decision, and Noah was not good at what he was saying, but in Noah's opinion, such a rash entry was really lacking in consideration.
