Chapter 248: The Remnant Sun Is Like Blood
As soon as Jack saw it, Cheese stopped moving after half-kneeling. Because of the physical obscuration, the Wolfwalker didn't see the mage put his hand on the black mire, but even if he saw it, he would only think that it was a necessary part of the ritual to exorcise demons. As Cheese communicated with the Well of Plague, the black tentacles sticking out of the mire began to slowly shrink back into the black mud.
"What's wrong with Mr. Cheese?" asked a batman who was larger than his own and silently landed beside Jack. He is the leader of the Batmen who appeared in the Witch's House before, known as Nightwing.
"He's sending that puddle of black mud back where it belongs. You just take our people away, and the city guards don't have to pay attention to them. Wolfwalker said, turning his head to look at Nightwing.
"Your wishes. The batman leader nodded, opening his mouth to emit a high-frequency sound wave that was inaudible to ordinary people, as a way to communicate with his people. Interestingly, though, as a wolfwalker with extremely physical qualities, Jack happens to be able to hear this voice. So when Nightwing's order was given, all the hair on the werewolf's body stood on end in fright.
"What's wrong with you?" Batman looked at Jack in front of him suspiciously, he didn't know that the language he spoke to his kind sounded like a very high-pitched noise to the werewolves. So after noticing the other party's strange reaction, Nightwing naturally asked this sentence.
Jack shook the ears on his head, he was tempted to turn around and arrest Batman and make him pay for the fright. But thinking that the other party was indeed an unintentional move, and the wolfwalker was not a good person, he could only turn his head back to look at the other party again with a dark face, and tell Nightwing that he was okay.
Ordinary people naturally couldn't recognize the expression on the wolf's face, coupled with the unfamiliarity with the werewolf race, the batman leader accepted Jack's statement and regarded what happened just now as a small accident. At this moment, Cheese, who was half-kneeling on the ground, also stood up from the black mire. As the mage straightened up again, the Well of Plague, which occupied nearly a third of the size of the square, slowly faded and seeped into the ground, leaving behind a large pit about five meters deep.
"It looks like the Minister of Construction of the royal capital is going to jump recently. Wolfwalker said as he walked over to Cheese and looked at the huge hole left in the ground.
"It's better than an entire city being swallowed up. The mage's voice was steady when he said this, but his face was pale. God knows how much pressure Cheese had to endure to make a deal with the Well of Plague, this ancient demon was terrifying. Even now, the mage was still in a cold sweat behind his back, and the feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made Cheese almost fall to his knees again.
It's a fluke, it's a fluke. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was in a good mood today, coupled with the fact that the Lord of the Gray Tower and the mage had a special aura on his body, it would be impossible to survive rashly entering such an ancient demonic consciousness. At best, cheese will be eaten as a snack, or at worst, the Well of Plague can even take over the mage's body and walk in the world as him.
"Give me a hand. Cheese whispered to the werewolf beside him. Jack also noticed that the mage's face was not normal at this time, and he took the cheese's arm, only to notice that the mage's body was now paralyzed by the great fright. If it weren't for Cheese's magic force, his muscles slackened by fear would never have been enough to support him to stand up.
"How are you?" asked the werewolf anxiously, the first time he had seen Cheese in such a weak state.
"It's fine, but I'll have to add one more piece to my 'never do it again' note. This feeling is really ...... It's so exciting. Rubbing his forehead vigorously with his right hand, the mage used this way to make himself recover faster from the loss.
"You don't look good. The leader of the batmen also came to the two of them, looked at the face of the master, and said with some concern.
"It's okay, it's just that it's a little overconsumed, and it's rare for me to dispel such a large demon. Cheese smiled and said. And in fact, it is not so much that the mage has dispersed the Well of Plague, but that the Well of Plague has left this world on its own initiative, otherwise with Cheese's current state, I am afraid it will be difficult to have an impact on the clone of the Well of Plague.
Nightwing nodded, and it heard the clansman's return in the night sky, and went on to speak to the two.
"Our people have been evacuated. My people told me that they saw human soldiers coming this way, apparently trying to find their missing companions. Do we..."
Cheese turned to look at the Greylion soldiers who were still unconscious. Although the mage did not know how many soldiers a squad should consist of, there were less than ten people still alive. And for these soldiers who survived, today's experience may become a nightmare for their lives. Cheese is not good at using magic that erases people's memories, the kind of spell that Crow has always excelled at. Therefore, even though the mage had sympathy for these ordinary people, there was nothing he could do.
At this time, Cheese would unconsciously think of Elsa, if she was here, what would the proprietress do to these soldiers?
"Your Excellency. Nightwing didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave immediately, and couldn't help but urge again.
"I see, let's go find the Dementors first. Cheese said. Receiving his order, Jack put the mage on his shoulder and nodded to the batman, letting him lead the way in the air.
Seeing this, Nightwing flapped his wings and flew into the sky, which was about to completely darken. The huge figure hovered in the air, as if identifying directions. Cheese and Jack look up at Batman's location at the same time, but the mage finds himself having trouble finding Nightwing in the darkened sky. Fortunately, the vision of Wolfwalker can still capture allies in the air. Jack jumped onto the roof of a three-story house on the side of the street, and the werewolf landed on the tiled roof without making any sound.
"How many people will die tonight?" Sitting on the werewolf's shoulders and walking through the blue lion king's capital at dusk, Cheese looked at the blood-like remnant sun in the distance, and unconsciously sighed.
When their figures completely disappeared from the obscurity of the building, the soldiers who had come to look for them who had not arrived on time finally hurried here. In astonishment and fear, they picked up their living companions, and everyone in the afterglow of the setting sun seemed to be stained with blood.
