Chapter 67: Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise pills
Su Wen closed his eyes and felt for a moment, and found that the surrounding wind was calm, and there were no signs of impending danger. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Xiao Shi, tell me the details. β
He said in a deep voice.
In Su Wen's mind, Xiao Shi's crisp voice trembled: "Underground, Dad! There is a terrifying aura under the ground that is more terrifying than the undead lord, while it hasn't drilled into the ground yet, let's get out of here quickly!"
Although he didn't know how terrifying the undead lord was, seeing that this slime from the undead plane was showing such an irrepressible fear, Su Wen immediately understood that the danger that might come was definitely not something that Glock in his hands could fight. It seems that the big killers that the system just recommended to themselves are really useful, at least they remind themselves that young people wake up quickly, don't daydream, and run away is the right way.
According to Su Wen's simple inference, since the town of Certores is in great danger, but there is no alarm or signal to evacuate the crowd until now, it either means that Xiao Shi is talking nonsense and the system is playing with himself, or it means that no one expected the upcoming situation. In other words, because of the relationship between the Southern Plateau City, there are obviously people from the Wizards' Guild here, so naturally they will not be ignored, but none of them predicted the danger coming, and even the entire Wizards Guild could not effectively warn of the danger here, so if the danger really exists, then it is enough to see how strong its concealment is.
Suven looked out the window, the town of Certoris was calm at night, everything was normal except for the loud sound of wind and sand in the sky, and the illusory silhouette of the mountains in the distance fully displayed the exotic beauty, which could not be more ordinary in every way. It's not easy to convince yourself that danger is about to erupt here.
And it's a danger of destruction.
"Is there any other way than to run?" Su Wen asked with a frown, "There is also a town here, if there is imminent danger, I don't think it would be too good to just run?" β
"My stupid father, what's the use of being a good person! If you don't run, you're going to die, and if you die, I'm going to die! Xiao Shi doesn't want to die a second time even if he dies!"
It seems to be quite serious, and this is incoherent.
Although it is not a good thing to leave the entire town and run away alone, if it is difficult to save even his own life, Su Wen does not feel that he has the potential to become a self-sacrificing savior. In short, this matter would rather be credible than not, even if Xiao Shi's warning was wrong, at most it was just a night road in the dark. As for the intention of making it public? Of course he would, but he wouldn't risk his life, and it would be enough for him to be able to understand it.
So Su Wen didn't hesitate any longer, he stuffed Xiao Shi back into the glass jar, and then grabbed the suitcases that had been packed in the room, and put them in front of the confused Laetitia.
"We're leaving!"
"Master, are you sick again?"
"Yes, that's right, I'm sick and I'm going to die suddenly if I don't walk at night, so let's practice the night march tonight as part of your physical training plan. β
"But we paid for the whole night's stay, host. 5 gold coins plus 27 copper coins, very expensive!"
"Don't care about such details!"
After discovering that Su Wen's decision was not like a joke, Laetitia was still a little confused and angry, but she still didn't refute it after all. She picked up the smaller suitcase and left the room after Su Wen and made her way to the lobby of the hotel. As it was not yet late at night, it was also the largest tavern in the town of Certoris, and until this time it was bustling with the smell of ale, mingling with the townspeople and the out-of-town travelers, sitting at a huge oak table with wine glasses in hand. And in its joy, the flame in the fireplace makes it not have the chill of the plateau at all.
Su Wen had no intention of admiring the lively scenery, and he didn't even plan to leave the night, so he left the hotel straight away from the bartender under the strange gaze of the bartenders, and untied the carriage parked in the storeroom and the gray-haired horse that was napping.
"Laetitia, I've taught you how to control the carriage. Now, wait for me at the entrance of the town where we entered, and I'll meet you in about ten minutes. β
Laetitia, who was in the carriage, seemed to sense something.
"Master, is there anything going on?"
"Leave it alone, do as I say. β
As Su Wen spoke, he picked up the whip and whipped the gray horse's buttocks. The latter hissed lowly, and then walked forward with a very reluctant step, chewing on the grass in his mouth.
Sending Lytitia away, Su Wen can be said to have no worries.
He rushed back to the tavern, then asked the bartender who was in charge of the checkout near the door, "Where do the Magicians' Guild people live?" β
"Sir, rest assured, if there were demonic beasts, they would not have been able to cross the 100-kilometer wasteland to reach us. The bartender didn't even raise his head, but smiled and pinched the quill pen in his hand, dipped it in ink, and continued to write something on the bill, "Of course, if you plan to look for them for something else, the venerable magicians have been placed in the bell tower in the center of the town to rest. Oh, just under the brightest lighthouse outside. β
Su Wen thanked him, and then hurried towards the lighthouse.
As a landmark building in a small place like the town of Certores, the clock tower in the center of the town still looks quite majestic, and the metal clock on the roof, which is estimated to weigh several tons, swings slowly, which is both solemn and gorgeous under the light of the magic searchlight. At the same time, it was obviously not a place where anyone could come and go freely, so when Su Wen came to the bell tower, two militiamen in leather armor stopped him.
"Sorry, it's not open to the public. β
A militiaman with a sheep's horn beard spoke to Su Wen in a polite tone.
Su Wen was straight to the point, and he didn't intend to waste time on this: "I'm here to find those magicians, and there are some important things I have to ask them personally." β
"Please wait. β
After the militiaman finished speaking, he turned around and pushed the door of the bell tower open a crack and walked in softly.
After about two minutes, when Su Wen was starting to get a little impatient, he reappeared in the doorway, followed by a young man in a mage's robe, who looked to be in his early twenties and looked handsome.
"What's the matter?"
After glancing at Su Wen up and down, the man spoke calmly. Although he tried to keep his voice softer, Su Wen could easily hear a little impatience.
However, Su Wen didn't care about it.
"Ahem, here's the thing. Not long ago, my pet was very anxious, and the last time there was an earthquake, he reacted the same way, so I wondered if something bad was going to happen. But this time it's obviously a good luck, you magicians happen to be in charge here, so I'm going to ask you if you find anything out of the ordinary, such as whether there is any danger in the underground of Certorres Town, if any...... Consideration could be given to organizing the evacuation and evacuation of townspeople. β
Su Wen said the wording that he had thought about a long time ago, of course he would not directly explain that there were demonic beasts or something stupid underground, otherwise he would be 100% regarded as an idiot.
However, after quietly listening to Su Wen's narration, the young magician smiled. The smile lasted for about five seconds, and then he spoke softly, spitting out two words.
"Idiot. β
, this can also be slapped in the face by the speed of light!
Su Wen felt that what he had said was obscure enough, and there would definitely be no mistakes, but he didn't expect this young man to look at him like a torch, and he knew at a glance that he was fooling. But the meaning is enough, Su Wen doesn't need to take any responsibility for the people here in the end, not to mention that the fact that the demonic beast is hiding underground and preparing to destroy the town is really a bit ridiculous, even he himself can't be convinced, if he makes a big fanfare and nothing happens in the end, wouldn't it be even more disgraceful?
"What a disturbance, I wish you a nice night. β
Su Wen politely said goodbye to the young magician, and turned to leave the bell tower.
But the magician didn't seem to give up, he just raised his hand slightly, and a fist-sized ball of fire appeared out of thin air in front of Su Wen's eyes, blocking his way.
"After teasing me, do you think you can leave so easily?"
He said coldly.
I still have to make inches......
Su Wen turned his head a little stiffly, and pressed his right hand on the handle of Glock's gun, but finally slowly let go. In this kind of place, even a noble magician would not be able to take his life, and he would not be able to tear his face and fight hard.
"And what do you want to do with me?"
He asked with a grin.
The young magician seemed to be just unhappy with Su Wen, so he didn't want him to leave smoothly, but when he was really asked this question, he obviously didn't have an answer, so he was stunned but didn't know how to answer. And just when the atmosphere became a little awkward, and the young man was vaguely annoyed, an old voice suddenly came from inside the tower.
"Oliver, come and pour me a glass of water. β
The sound was like a just right step, and the young man knew what to do at once.
"Okay, teacher, I'll be right there. β
After quickly answering the old voice, he glared at Su Wen fiercely, then waved his hand to extinguish the fire blocking Su Wen's way, and turned his head back to the bell tower.
Su Wen didn't care about the young magician's reaction, he just stared straight at the top of the bell tower.
The appearance of that voice just now made him understand that there must be at least a high-level magician here, and if nothing else, all the words he said were heard by the owner of the old voice. If it came to this point, and none of these magicians could make a judgment about the impending danger, then Su Wen felt that there was nothing he could do.
Well, if the town is really ruined, at least the young magician doesn't need to take the blame.
Su Wen, who had regained his freedom, looked at the two militiamen at the door who had been frightened by the magic just now, smiled kindly at them, and then turned and walked away on the streets covered in yellow sand.
......
Su Wen almost trotted to the entrance of the town, and it was not until he saw the carriage coming to a steady stop in the darkness of the entrance that he finally relented.
Turning over and getting into the car, Su Wen pulled the reins and rushed towards the road from which he came.
"Where are we going, master?"
A few minutes later, Suven heard Laetitia's questions beside her. Turning her head to look, Suwen found that she was still fiddling with the Glock 18, constantly pulling out the bullets from the magazine and then loading them back in.
"Of course, we still go to Southern Highland City, but we guess we'll have to take a detour. β
"Oh, that's it. Laetitia shoved the loaded magazine into her gun, and then aimed at the dark road ahead, the oil lamp hanging on the carriage swaying, and even the shadow she cast on the road swayed, "But why do I always feel that you are running away, master?"
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, and then surprised: "Hey, did you find anything?"
"No, I didn't find anything. Laetitia snapped the trigger, but didn't react because the pistol wasn't loaded, "I'm just thinking that something must have happened to the half-elf girl during the time you left the hotel, right? β
"Puff Lytia, where exactly did you think of it? Wait...... That girl is a half-elf?"
"Well, of course I recognize my own kind, so what happened between you. And because she's a magician, she's afraid of retribution and runs away - well, it's exactly like Shirley's time. When she said this, Laetitia's voice was calm, but Su Wen still heard a deep dissatisfaction.
Su Wen felt that it was not good to be misunderstood like this, so he hurriedly explained.
"Laetitia, you guessed wrong, this time for something else. β
"So Shirley was the reason I imagined that time?"
I always feel that the more I depict it, the darker it gets!
"Of course not...... Hmm!"
Su Wenzheng wondered why Laetitia was so concerned about this matter, but just as he said the next sentence, the carriage suddenly trembled heavily.
No, to be precise, the ground under the carriage trembled heavily.
"Hurry up!"
Su Wen didn't bother to answer Laetitia, he suddenly raised his hand and whipped the gray-haired horse in front of him fiercely. The neighing of the horses soon resounded in the night sky, and the speed of the solo carriage increased markedly.
Laetitia, visibly panicked at the tremor, looked back to see that the town of Certoris in the distance was still shrouded in the quiet of light and sand, and the high beams projected from the bell tower were so bright that the whole town looked like an island in the middle of an endless ocean.
There was another tremor......
Trembling, a piece of gravel rolled down the hillside next to him, blocking a third of the road in front of him, and Su Wen stood in front of the carriage, pulling the reins of the horse in reverse with all his might, narrowly avoiding this obstacle. Soon, the carriage made a sharp turn, and the town of Certoris behind it was completely obscured by the hills, leaving only darkness. The oil lamp shook so much that it almost spilled, and Laetitia removed it from the carriage rack, held it firmly in her hand, and continued to light the way ahead for Suwen with the not-so-bright light of the fire.
There were a few wolf howls in the night, but Su Wen ignored them, and after confirming that something really happened, he knew that this sudden tremor would definitely not stop.
Soon......
A third tremor sounded, as if a muffled thunder had sounded in the center of the earth. The tremor did not dissipate as quickly as the first two, but gradually became louder and louder. Su Wen even felt that something behemoth was breaking through the ground, along with the collapse of houses in the extreme distance and the cracking of the earth.
After a few seconds of tremors, a light that lit up the sky as if it were day came from the town of Certorres. Even if Su Wen didn't look back, he could see the bright pillar of light that connected the heavens and the earth through his afterglow, and quickly recognized that this was probably the six-ring spell of light elemental magic, Aurora.
This spell could not have come from Warcraft.
Other words......
The battle and destruction of the town of Certoris has begun.
Calculating the time, Su Wen found that less than half an hour had passed since Xiao Shi warned him, and if he hesitated for a moment when he was acting, he would not be able to get out of the danger of the town at all!
But that doesn't mean they're safe.
Perhaps due to the tremors, the animals that had been hiding in the wasteland became extremely excited. Just when those wolf howls erupted not long ago, Su Wen vaguely felt that something was wrongβthis creature should not have appeared close to the town, but this unscientific thing did happen.
Therefore, when Su Wen used the light of the sky to see a few gray shadows in the wilderness beside the road that were speeding with the car, he knew that the trouble he was about to face was finally coming.
"Laetitia, we're probably going to have some fun!"
Su Wen shouted.
