In the west of Saradoga, the small town of Kodo, where Saradoga meets Moldozze, the once prosperous town is now an empty city, although the houses in the town are intact, the streets are extremely clean, and even the shops on both sides of the street are open, and those brand new goods are still in them, but there is no life. The miserable white moonlight reflected on the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" pavilion, reflecting the smooth ground with patches of white light, adding a touch of terror.

It's an empty city, it's a dead city.

The town was dead silent, a gust of wind was blowing, the banners on both sides of the street were swaying, and the windows were squeaking, but there was no voice, no noise, not even the sound of livestock.

Two white horses stood outside the town, occasionally shaking their heads and snorting, or occasionally digging through the dirt under their hooves, filling the silence.

On horseback, Cai Xiaobai and Sawyer looked at the clean town in front of them, they didn't know, they thought it was because of the late night that this seemingly prosperous town became so quiet, but Cai Xiaobai and Sawyer knew that this town was by no means as ordinary and quiet as it seemed, this town had devoured 54 Brass rank soldiers and three teams of adventurers so far, and even the three second-year cadets of the Saradoga Hero Academy entered here and did not come out.

Another gust of wind blew, blowing up a puff of dust that made Cai Xiaobai and Sawa squint their eyes, this town was safe and calm in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Cai Xiaobai and Sawyer, it was like a monstrous beast, already opening its bloody mouth and waiting for the two to enter, and then bite it and devour its flesh and blood.

"I kind of regret accepting this assignment. Sawyer whispered, his left hand already gripping the scabbard, his thumb resting on the small circle of gauntlets, and as soon as there was a stir, Sawyer would draw the knife as fast as he could.

Cai Xiaobai sighed softly: "Who says it's not? I can feel the ghost and yin wind in the town here, and it seems that someone has laid it down here." ”

"Do you want to go in now?" asked Sawyer.

Cai Xiaobai squinted at the town, took out the longbow and arrows from his arms, and then slowly opened the bow to set up the arrows, with the sound of the bowstring tightening, the bow had been pulled into a full moon by Cai Xiaobai, and a sharp arrow was against the bowstring, aiming at the town, Cai Xiaobai said: "Try it first." ”

Before the words fell, the arrow had already flown out, and the longbow bowstring in Cai Xiaobai's hand shook for a while, and the arrow spun and broke through the wind, shooting into the town in an instant.

After waiting for a while, there was still no sound in the town, but Cai Xiaobai and Sawa did not feel happy, on the contrary, their hearts had sunk, there was no sound in the town, but there was a dead air, the danger of this town was beyond the imagination of the two. Because what they are facing, everything is unknown. The unknown is scary, knowing what it is will calm down and think about how to resist or solve, but facing the unknown makes people feel afraid.

"I think we'll stay here for the night, and let's go in tomorrow morning, it's not good to disturb people at night. Cai Xiaobai said after holding back for a long time.

Sawa was completely defeated by Cai Xiaobai's call, is this the person who fought against him? How do you feel different? Although Sawa despises Cai Xiaobai's behavior very much, but... He agreed.

...

It took a lot of effort to set up a tent under a small hill outside the town of Kodo, Cai Xiaobai and Sawa hurriedly went in to avoid the strong wind outside, the tent was enough to accommodate three or four people to sleep, Cai Xiaobai thought about it and set up a small platform with stones in the center of the tent, and then went out with Sawa to pick up a lot of firewood and build a fire together. Looking at the flames and the branches that kept burning and making a "crackling" sound, Cai Xiaobai's heart finally calmed down.

Bell is right when he says that building a fire in times of distress always gives people a sense of hope. Cai Xiaobai thought as he took the little fox out of his arms, and the two of them slept by the fire for a night.

When Cai Xiaobai woke up the next day, he found that the little fox was curled up next to his arm, and Sawa seemed to have woken up a long time ago and was not in the tent now. Picking up the little fox, Cai Xiaobai came out of the tent only to find that Sawa was standing on the hill looking at the town not far away, and the two galloping horses were eating grass very quietly on the side, the dewy grass was very good food for horses, and there were a lot of brightly colored red berries in the bushes next to them, these red berries were very popular food for horses.

Holding the little fox up to the hill, Cai Xiaobai realized at this time that the town during the day and the town at night were not a matter of a moment at all. The town I saw last night was still a clean town, the streets were neat, the shops on both sides were full of things, and the flags were intact and bright, but now the town is dilapidated, the town is covered in dust, the collapsed houses reveal the dusty furniture inside, the flags are tattered, there are only a few dusty strips of cloth left, there are falling doors and windows everywhere, occasionally one or two windows are still hanging on them, it is also a crumbling look, there is no human population, there is no life, occasionally a gust of wind blows and raises a large amount of dust, is this town really the town last night？

Cai Xiaobai was puzzled, and Sawa was also puzzled.

"Shall we go in and have a look?" asked Sawyer.

"Hmm. Cai Xiaobai nodded. Then Cai Xiaobai and Sawa went down the hill, and the two galloping horses were still tied here, after all, they had no attack ability, they just ran faster.

After putting on the plain armor and holding the silver-level long sword in his hand, Cai Xiaobai's heart also settled down a little, the little fox originally planned to let her stay in the tent, but the little fox was not happy, Cai Xiaobai had to let the little fox drill into his clothes, revealing his small head and pink ears to look at this strange environment.

The footsteps of Cai Xiaobai and Sawa resounded throughout the town, and occasionally a gust of wind blew through the windows to make a "squeak" sound, or the already broken flag was blown up to make a "whirring" sound. Holding their weapons, Cai Xiaobai and Sawa looked around vigilantly, for fear that something would suddenly appear to attack the two.

"Come over here and have a look. Cai Xiaobai pointed to the house with a broken door and said, Sawa nodded and did not refuse.

Cai Xiaobai and Sawa only found out what the town had become after entering the house, the roof was broken with several big holes, and dust would blow in whenever there was a strong wind, so the tables, chairs, and cupboards here were full of dust, and the bowls and plates on the tables were also full of dust, and in the tilted cabinets were broken cutlery, which were broken into pieces and covered with dust.

Cai Xiaobai lightly touched the bench, the chair made a withering sound, and with a little force, the chair collapsed into a pile of broken wood, and the furniture around it was also like this, the only thing that seemed to be okay seemed to be the bed.

"In just over a week since the incident, a bustling town has become like this. Sawyer sighed, not knowing if it was for the town or why.

"yes, what happens in a week to make a town look like this? It's like there's a war. Cai Xiaobai frowned and said.

"War?" Sawyer was shocked.

"Isn't it?" Cai Xiaobai said, pointing to the messy room and the broken house outside, and said slowly, "A prosperous town, even if everyone is gone, how can it become like this without more than ten decades of hard work? Either there was a war, and the war destroyed all this, or there were masters above the gold rank who took action and personally destroyed this town. ”

Sawa nodded when he heard Cai Xiaobai's answer, yes, they checked several houses, whether it was a shop or a residence, it was a messy appearance, collapsed walls, broken houses, everything covered with dust and the messy tables, chairs and counters, if it weren't for the lack of traces of fire, it seemed that it was really possible that the town became like this because of the war, but this is the interior of the Salado Kingdom, it is the junction of the Saradoga Province and the Moldozhe Province in the center of the palace, not the border of the kingdom, although the patrol army stationed here is not the main army of the kingdom, but it is also a second-level legion, and the people who can be sent out to patrol it can be worse？

The 54 soldiers who had been trained to cooperate and fight in battle were all disappeared when they entered the town, and the three teams of adventurers also lost their news, but it only took a few days for this matter to reach the royal family and ask the royal family to notify the academy and send them? What happened to the town to become like this?

The more Sawyer thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, something big must have happened here.

...

Leaving this room, Cai Xiaobai and Yasuo went to the street again, the little fox had already sensed that something was wrong and buried his head in Cai Xiaobai's clothes and couldn't come out, Cai Xiaobai didn't have time to estimate the little fox at this time, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

And at this time, there was a very subtle sound of footsteps not far from the two of them, although it was very thin, but Soy Ya of the wind attribute and Cai Xiaobai, who controlled the wind, could hear it very clearly, and the two of them could hear it, it was not the footsteps of one or two people. The two looked at each other and decided to check the situation.

Cai Xiaobai and Sawyer walked directly into the restaurant on the side, and went to the second floor through the stairs inside, this restaurant is in good condition, it looks like the grade is not low, the stairs inside are made of marble, not ordinary wood, otherwise it must be rotten to the point of stepping on it.

Cai Xiaobai and Soya, who arrived on the second floor, followed the direction from which the sound came and walked to a box, the box had windows, and at this moment, the two windows were making a "squeak" sound, looking crumbling.

Through the window, Cai Xiaobai and Sawa could see that on the street on this side, there were 7 teenagers and girls, the teenagers and girls were wearing the same uniform, with a complex pattern on their chests and shoulders, and the young man at the head was arrogant, frowning and looking at this dilapidated and depressed environment with a look of disgust, next to him, the expressions of those teenagers and girls were not very good, and the 7 people gathered together, not realizing the danger here.

"A student of the Higher Academy of Moldozhe. Sawyer whispered.
