Chapter 55: The Mouth of Purgatory
What's going on? Why is this happening?
A member of the adventurer's team couldn't help but kneel down and cry, "What the hell is going on, what the hell is going on!" Several people pulled and dissuaded them, but they didn't pull them down.
The rest of the people only knew that this person's hometown was on Felder Farm, and this time he accepted the mission to return home to see.
Lias's voice changed, and the paladin stood with another person.
"How's it going, did you find anything?"
The other party shook his head and replied in a low voice.
"No, Cerberus just found the direction of the fire, and there don't seem to be any living people around here. He raised his head, his sharp eyes staring at the sea of fire below, Wang Chu always felt that his eyes were very similar to a person.
He is the grandson of the head of Hajar's house, the Warlock Cyra, a warlock born into a family of magicians who is well-known in the academy and the final winner of this competition.
Wang Chu noticed that the eyes under his hood showed a strange emerald green, but they only changed back to their original appearance for a moment.
"Such a young lad has learned this magic. The old uncle who followed left and right said.
"Uncle Walker, what kind of magic is this?" Lias didn't know much about the types of magic, and she didn't know anything about other special magic other than regular magic.
"Demon knowledge is the only spell in humans that can communicate with summoning beasts, and Cerberus is a half-demonized beast, which is the easiest to communicate. ”
Wang Chu deliberately thought that the other party glanced at him, and the other party seemed to look at himself, feeling as if he was laughing!
"Don't make any noise...... Stand up, now that we're here, we're going to figure out what's going on here. The leader of the adventurers suddenly shouted loudly.
"Now, the Corps is in front and the students are in the back. It's the ice mages who follow me, and we'll put out the fire first......" he commanded, and then led the mages in the adventurer's party to the front.
Lias and the other students were placed at the back.
Below the uphill level, a burning smell wafted everywhere, and the farm, which used to be mostly livestock and wheat fruits, was now burned to the ground.
"It's so cruel. ”
Countless corpses were burned along the way, the meat was charred, and the black skin of the flesh was wrapped in the bones that could not be broken. With a kick, the bones shattered into black ash.
Lucia covered her nose and didn't dare to look at the scene in front of her.
Ice magic spread out in all directions, and El summoned the Beast Banshee to help.
The cracked ground was almost a meter wide, from shallow to deep, and finally there were red flames in the middle of nowhere.
"Tell them to cover them with more frost to prevent the fire from coming out again. "The leader of the adventurers, Renaud, commanded that this fire was too strange, and he had a fire mage test it, and the fire element here was too strong, and he only needed to wave his hand to come with magic.
"This abundant fire-type element has never been encountered, except in the hot land of fire. The magician explained.
Lias glanced at the same fire mage Cecia Gimonri next to her, she also tried to use a spell, and then the fireball was in her hand, and it fell on the frosty ground, blasting a hole, only to realize that the frost was only covering it and did not really extinguish the fire.
Hiss~ This fire can't even be extinguished by ice magic.
"Is there a fire near Felder Manor?" the magician continued to put out the fire, and the rest of the people searched everywhere for clues. ”
Seeing that his summoner had returned with another Cerberus, Renaud lowered his body as if communicating.
"Could it be that Captain Renault also has demonic magic?" several students poked their heads curiously.
"No, after getting along for a long time, you naturally understand what the beast wants to express. ”
Relative Cyra also received news of her own Cerberus.
"Did you find anything?" asked Al.
"It tells me that the people here are dead, and there is no one alive. Cyra repeated the message from Cerberus.
He can really understand the language of the beast, and of course Wang Chu, who is standing on Lias's shoulder, can also understand the words of the beast, and soon the people who were sent to check around came back, and the result was the same, all the people died, even if they were hiding in the water tank at home, they died, and their bodies were boiled and boiled dry.
"Didn't you find anything else?"
"No, we covered the flames on the ground, and the rifts receded. ”
It was strange that several adventurers looked at each other and thought about it, many of them were people who had often seen the world outside, but had never heard of such a thing.
"Otherwise, let's go back and report to the city lord. One soldier asked.
"Don't believe it, what happened here today must not be leaked out, otherwise the whole city will be in chaos, this kind of thing happened to us just after the imperial army left, it is inevitable that the citizens will be worried, even the students must not say anything about today's matter. "Look at the students.
Several of the leaders nodded at the same time.
"What about the future, how will we explain when we go back?"
"Let's let it go for a while, let the army block the mountain road, and now we can only let the Magician Guild and the Cathedral intervene. "I thought I was just helping to put out the fire, but now it has become an unsolved case, this kind of thing is beyond the ability of the adventurer team, and I can only ask the Magicians Guild and the Cathedral to help.
"Without further ado, I'll write to the Wizards' Guild now. One of the people dressed as a magician said, and he took out a fur scroll from his waist bag, which was said to be the appearance of the magic scroll, and Wang Chu saw the magic scroll for the first time.
The magician scribbled a few strokes and wrote it, and then summoned a falcon-like summoning beast with a scroll and flew in the direction he came.
Wang Chu looked at the mountains in the distance, the burned wheat fields were no longer alive, and even if they were covered by frost, the temperature around them was still very hot.
Suddenly, it noticed that something seemed to be moving on the same broken mountain wall in the distance?
"What's the matter, Cam. Lias felt the movement on her shoulders and turned her head to look in the direction Wang Chu was looking.
"What do you see that?"
Lias also noticed something unusual in the mountain.
The group turned their heads and saw a red object burrowing into a crack in the mountain wall.
"What's that, the living?"
"Isn't it a survivor...... Let's go, let's take a look. ”
"Let's go. ”
It was very human-like, and many of the disheartened people in the team seemed to have rekindled their confidence, how could there be so many people on such a big farm, how could they not be able to run away.
More than a hundred people marched towards the mountain range at the same time.
Lias and the others walked at the back of the line, and Wang Chu heard a crackling sound in his ears.
He looked back and saw that the frost was slowly melting.
..................
The closer you get to the mountains, the more unbearable the heat becomes, and the ice magician's spell covers it, but it melts in a few seconds, and by this time the heavy raincoat is no longer able to put on, and Lias takes off her clothes.
The crack in the center of the mountain wall is more like a bottomless tunnel that leads to something deeper.
The red shadow reappeared.
Walking in the front, I saw the other party's appearance clearly, where was the person, it was clearly a walking flame.
