Chapter 16: The Spellcaster
It was another night, a dark night with heavy rain, and the sound of the rain filled the whole town of Two Rivers, and the people had long since taken refuge in their houses, and there was not a single figure on the muddy streets.
Fraser hid under the eaves in his cloak and looked at the room on the first floor of the mayor's house from afar, the brim of the hood completely obscuring his face. The surface of his cloak is coated with a layer of water-repellent grease that prevents it from getting wet with moderate rain when the grease dries. And now it was pouring rain in the sky, and even this cloak could not completely guarantee the dryness of the clothes, so Fraser had to wait under the eaves.
The rain continued into the middle of the night and showed no sign of stopping, and Fraser was used to long waits, time didn't mean much to him, and if he could, he might have preferred to sleep forever and never wake up again. In the dead of night, the past swirled in front of his eyes, and Fraser's dull gaze never took off the room. Finally, the rain was a little lighter, and just then, Fraser's eyes suddenly refocused. "Is it beginning? Interesting. His figure disappeared into the rain and walked towards the room on the first floor.
There was only a dim oil lamp in the small room, and a slender figure knelt in the middle of the room, looking from behind with his hands clasped in front of his chest, his head bowed and not knowing what he was doing. The rain hit the window with a clicking sound, and beyond that, only the girl's eerie whispers remained. Occasionally, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating everything in the room, and the blood-red object in the girl's hand flashed. Suddenly, the girl noticed something strange in the room, and she didn't know how long it had been going on, or if it had just appeared.
She jerked her head away.
A hooded man was standing behind her, his cloak completely drenched in the rain, and the rain was dripping down the hem of the cloak to the ground. The girl couldn't see his face clearly, but a strong sense of oppression spread throughout her body, and she was speechless for a while.
"What are you doing?" Fraser's cold voice made the girl shiver.
The girl's lips quivered, but she couldn't make a sound.
Fraser removed his hood, his curls slightly wet with the rain passing through the hood. "You're Jona?"
Perhaps it wasn't scary to see the other person's face, and the girl nodded slightly.
Fraser frowned slightly when he saw the blood-red object in the girl's hand. "Let me guess, you're cursing, you're casting a curse on Erica. ”
Joanna glanced down at the thing in her hand, quickly hid it behind her, and finally spoke. "Who are you?"
"I'm Fraser, and I'm here to investigate the strange things that are going on in the mayor's house. Fraser glanced behind Jona, red liquid flowing all over the ground. "Looks like you did it all. ”
"Why are you meddling? Don't you see the mercenaries who were killed?" Jona's eyes turned fierce.
"I have my own reasons, if you leave now, I won't embarrass you. "Fraser took a small step forward.
"Don't come here!" exclaimed Jona, "if you come here again my companions will appear and kill you soon, and you should know the fate of those mercenaries." ”
"Bagley? He's not coming. Fraser continued to walk on, and in an instant he was in front of Jona. "This heart belongs to your father?"
"You know it all? I didn't expect anyone to care about this past. Joanna looked surprised, then turned ferocious. "I'm not going to give up, I'm going to ruin this bastard Andel's family!"
"Your goal has been achieved, stop it. ”
"No, the most damned Andre isn't dead yet, Erica is too young to break free from the cage, and when she's older, no one will be able to stop her, and by then, everyone in this house will have to die!"
Fraser shook his head. "If you insist on doing so, then I will have to stop you. ”
"Why are you stopping me? Ander is to blame, he ruined my whole family, my father died, my mother went crazy, and died not long after, leaving my brother and I to live alone in this world, our world has collapsed, we have no meaning to live except revenge, we must take revenge!"
Fraser was silent for a moment. "What you said is not unreasonable, then I will make a deal with you, you leave here, and I will help you solve Ander, how about it?"
Frazier's words were apparently completely unexpected. "What...... What?"
"I'll kill Ander for you, and you and Bargret get out of here, forget everything that happened here, and go on with your lives, never to come back. Fraser said calmly.
Joanna shook her head helplessly. "It's late, it's late, we can't take it anymore, we're already ...... It's not normal anymore. ”
Fraser narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword. Just then, there was a sound of heavy footsteps coming from the other side of the room, and then the windows were slammed open, sawdust scattered to the ground, and a strong figure rushed towards Fraser like a wall.
Fraser didn't expect anyone to come out to stir up trouble, and he couldn't dodge being knocked away by the figure, and slammed into the wall with a thud. The figure did not continue to attack, but stood in front of Jona.
Fraser slowly stood up and touched his waist that had been hit directly, a soft glow in his palm, shrouding the wound. He clearly saw that the figure attacking him was Baghley, but at this time, Bagre was completely different from his original appearance, not only was his body bigger, his whole body muscles were bulging, his mouth was full of fangs, and his hair was standing on end. "No wonder you can break free from those ropes. ”
"Brother. Joanna stood beside Bargret, her face full of pity, and slowly, her face also changed, purple tattoos appeared, covering her entire face, and her hair fluttered like a dancing snake.
Fraser took off his cloak and drew his sword. "That would explain why even the witchers died at your hands, so you have to make a break here. ”
Barghley's voice was muffled, like something stuck in his throat. "Damn mercenaries, don't try to stop our revenge!" After saying that, the huge body rushed towards it like Fraser.
Fraser dodged the impact with a slight dodge to the left, and slashed with a backhand, but instead of dodging, Bargre raised his hands and grabbed the blade in his hand. Fraser found that Bargray's hand was also mutated to be extremely hard, like two hard rocks, and he tried to draw his sword, but he did not have the upper hand in strength, and the two were frozen for a while.
Seeing that her brother was holding back Frazier, Jona rushed to help with a sharp claw, and Frazier saw that the situation was not good, and raised his left hand to Jona, and a shockwave ejected her far away. Seeing his sister being knocked away, Bargre kicked Fraser with a roar of rage, and at the same time broke his hands in an attempt to break the sword. Fraser struck hard with both feet, and a somersault flew over the huge figure and landed on the other side, almost as soon as it hit the ground, the flames that came out of thin air slammed into Bargley's back, and the bursting sparks flew in all directions. Bargeley's screams rang through the house, and he dropped his sword and rolled on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames on his body, and Joanna ran over and slapped her hands constantly, tossing for a while before extinguishing the flames.
Bargre sat feebly on the ground, two popping eyeballs glaring at Fraser. "Who the hell are you, your sword is so unusual that I can't break it, and just holding it burns my hands. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and his palm was charred black.
"And you can do magic, aren't all the mages dead?" Joanna looked at Fraser alertly.
There was a commotion outside the house, and two heads were trying to stick in through the window that had been broken by Bagley, and as soon as Fraser stretched out his hand, the two figures flew out, and fell to the ground with two muffled thuds, and he looked at the brother and sister who had become monsters. "We've got to hurry. ”
