Chapter 32: Evie goes missing
Pierce didn't stop and hurried all the way to the direction of the royal city.
Two lives, it was not until this time that he really understood what it meant to be homesick.
He has never been cared for by his family, and even his family was extremely luxurious in his previous life, but when he came to this world, he had a girl who was willing to live for him, a girl who was willing to pay for him.
Five days, fast and fast,
But Pierce misses the shabby grass house every day, the two of them snuggling up to each other in the same bed, and their hearts have never been so close to each other.
The pace quickened, and the majestic walls gradually came into view.
The village beneath the city walls is where Pierce and Ivy live.
Soon, you'll be home.
Pierce doesn't know anyone else, he just wants to show Ivy his progress and is only willing to show this girl.
Small bridges and flowing water, people everywhere.
Pierce followed the route he remembered, pinpointing the dilapidated thatched hut.
However, the sight in front of me was unexpected.
There was still a thatched hut in front of him, and only a ruin that had been burned down by the fire remained.
The yard was littered with charred wood, and everything was burned, leaving nothing behind.
Pierce's brain was battered, and he couldn't recover from the scene in front of him.
Burning down your own home?
"Ivy. ”
"Ivy!"
Pierce rushed into the pile of rubble, rummaging through it with both hands.
However, nothing was found.
Evy wasn't here, and she didn't die in the fire.
Thump~
Pierce sat down on the ground.
There was a confusion in my mind, and there was no trace of any emotion.
What the hell is going on here, why the house is burned down, why is Evie gone.
Occasionally, when a passing villager sees Pierce sitting on the edge of the ruins, they will immediately hide away, as if they are afraid of getting involved with Pierce.
Sensing the abnormality of the villagers, Pierce ignored it, and did not intend to chase after him for questioning.
Unconsciously, the aura around him changed.
This momentum is the same as the one displayed during the duel with Edmund that day.
Murderous.
Carrying the rune sword back behind him, Pierce walked briskly towards the royal city.
"Whoever did it, I'm going to make him pay. ”
The look in his eyes was quickly eroded by a piece of blood red, and Pierce quickly disappeared at the gate of the royal city, not even a trace of his back was left.
The Mercenary Guild is busier than before.
Due to the anomaly of the Uya Forest, many mercenaries who received related tasks failed to complete the tasks, and the mercenary guild is still communicating with both parties about punishment.
However, over the years, the Mercenary Guild has not encountered any situation, although this kind of thing is tricky, it will not attract too much attention from the Guild, and they will not even think of the real reason for the abnormality of the Uraya Forest, let alone believe that the initiator will be a young man.
Of course, during this time, many mercenaries no longer took on the quest and decided to go to the Ferror Mountains in the north of the royal city.
The Demon Hunting Trial is about to begin, and the Holy Cult Army has arrived at the entrance of the secret realm, guarding the teleportation array with the Kingdom Army, waiting for the day when the trial begins.
The Demon Hunting Trial is aimed at a wide range of people, as long as you master the fighting spirit and become a knight, you can enter the secret realm for training, and the secret realm will not limit the number of people, some rich nobles will lead the guards and their subordinates to enter together.
Many mercenaries will also form a team and enter the secret realm trials together.
The Demon Hunting Trial is a major event in the entire Norton Kingdom, and the royal city seems to have been revolving around this matter in the past few days, and has even become a topic of conversation among civilians on the streets.
"The king has personally led the kingdom army to set out, and it is estimated that it has now reached the Ferrore Mountains. ”
"The joint operation of the Kingdom Army and the Holy Religious Army is also a good opportunity for us to declare our national prestige. ”
A few idle mercenaries sat in the sun at the tea stall at the entrance of the guild, and also discussed the matter of the demon hunting trial.
One of the mercenaries obviously expressed disdain for the previous person's words, and immediately mocked: "Guowei? The Norton Kingdom is no longer good, otherwise how could it be stuck in the third-class kingdom?"
"Yes, if the Marquis were alive, the kingdom would not have been stagnant for so many years. ”
"It's a pity that the Billy family has completely perished. ”
The closest Norton Kingdom is to being promoted to a second-class kingdom, it was almost recognized by the empire, and the glory of being promoted to a second-class kingdom is naturally inseparable from the old marquis's great military exploits.
He fought in the north and south all his life, opening up the territory of the kingdom.
However, the once famous Billy family has now completely disappeared from the ranks of the nobility, and that blood-boiling past has been completely buried by the yellow sand.
"It is said that the old marquis also has a son....."
The mercenary could finish his sentence when he was interrupted by his companion.
"Don't mention him, he's just a scum with a wine bag and a rice bag. The man who spoke picked up the tea bowl and poured it into his mouth in one gulp, and then smashed his mouth and continued: "Lord Marquis is a high-level golden knight, and he is only one step away from that level. ”
"It's a pity that the Marquis has a waste, and if that waste is half as good as me, I will kneel down and apologize to him. ”
As the man was talking, his companion next to him stabbed him.
Looking in the direction of his finger, he saw a young man walking briskly.
It's just that everyone's attention is all on the appearance of the person who came, but they ignore the strong murderous aura.
As soon as Pierce reached the door of the Mercenary Guild, he was blocked by a group of people.
The man at the head looked arrogant, and he was holding a bowl of freshly filled tea in his hand.
"Yo Yo Yo, who else should I be. Ignoring the dissuasion of his companions, the mercenary raised his other hand and pestled Pierce's chest.
"Isn't this Young Master Pierce?"
The mercenary obviously knew Pierce, but the latter was not in the mood to delay at the moment, and the eyes in his eyes that looked at the other party were gradually replaced by a murderous aura.
The mercenary felt uncomfortable at this gaze, but he didn't back down in the slightest, but instead wanted to reach out to Pierce again.
Behold.
A hand suddenly clamped the mercenary's neck, and the next moment it was thrown away.
The mercenary fell from the sky and fell into a, his face was covered with blood, and two teeth were knocked out.
Pierce spread out his palms and caught the falling tea bowl steadily.
The tea in the bowl barely spilled, and the person who had previously held it had been thrown out.
Everyone looked at Pierce in horror, and they were in a dilemma for a while.
The person who was just thrown out by him like garbage, but with the strength of the Bronze Seventh Order, even if they go up together, they can't be sure to restrain this young man.
Moreover, he was the son of the old marquis.
Some of the bumpy tea quickly fell into a calm, and there was not a trace of water streaks appearing.
Click!
The next second.
The tea bowl in Pierce's hand was suddenly shattered into countless pieces by the fighting spirit.
The tea fell to the ground, and the murderous aura instantly spread.
All the mercenaries subconsciously took a step back and gave way to the door.
Looking at the rapidly disappearing back, as well as the murderous aura that has not completely dissipated, everyone seems to have a premonition in their hearts.
Something is going to happen to Wangcheng.
