Chapter 14: The Massacre of the City (1)
What are those people doing here, judging from the fact that they turned the city of Payne upside down, they must be people who can't afford to be unprofitable, Ram has just been devastated by the war and returned to the Leman Empire, the people's hearts are unstable and the society is in turmoil, what can they get from the middle?
Wright couldn't figure it out for a while, but he didn't care very much, he just wanted to know Lena's whereabouts, Wright fell to the ground and planned to walk into the city not to attract the attention of the other party too publicly, walked two steps, felt a small tail behind him, turned around and saw Anne smiling and following him, "Eh, thank you for your help, I've arrived at my destination, you go back to the store quickly, otherwise your teacher will be in a hurry." "The www.biquge.info store is in my hands, where do you want me to go back, besides, the teacher is so playful, he won't come back, even if he comes back, there is a way to find me, don't worry about me" Anne kept quibbling.
Wright has a black line: "Then it's also dangerous here, aren't you afraid of a lot of bad guys?" "If there's a bad guy, I'll beat him hard." Anne waved the broom in her hand and gestured, "That's not good, this is not a joke, you are still so young, if there is danger, your teacher will definitely pursue me." Anne's eyes rolled a few times and she didn't know how to quibble, so she whistled too much, and she was determined to come out to play, Wright didn't expect such a simple little girl to calculate him, and she had a little tail that she couldn't shake off after a ride.
"Then you have to follow me, I don't know what to expect here. "Alright, let's go, Anne has the ability to protect herself. The little girl pushed Wright from behind, telling him to stop talking about his mother-in-law, and walked all the way to the direction of the city gate but didn't encounter anything, but it was strange that the huge city didn't encounter anything, Wright felt that the atmosphere was wrong and raised his vigilance, and when he was about to reach the city gate, the grass on the side of the road suddenly jumped out and the two attacked Wright, Wright returned to the two wind blades and quickly retreated and distanced from the enemy, both hands gathered mana again and waited for the follow-up attack, Anne had also hid behind Wright and raised a broomstick, but the two people who were split into the air did not stand up again。
Wright cautiously touched it, for fear that the enemy would cheat, but after seeing it clearly, he was taken aback, the other party was just two ordinary farmers, wearing simple linen clothes, and even the weapons in their hands were just hoes, at this time, they were killed on the spot by two wind blades, but how could ordinary farmers dare to attack two magicians, could it be manipulated? But even if you manipulate people to ambush like this, it is not lethal at all, Wright didn't understand what was going on, and silently recited the spell to release the breath of life to detect the surroundings, but there were no more humans within a radius of a mile, only the breath of some small animals, this was already near the city gate, and there must have been many caravan dwellers coming and going, but it was empty at this time.
Wright became more and more sure that something was going on here, and rushed towards the city gate, and after a while, he saw a scene on the front of Wright's detection that was wrong, not that there was no one around, but that they were all dead, and all kinds of people fell on the side of the road, and there were mercenaries, farmers, rich merchants, and even magicians in costumes, and there were all kinds of strange dead clothes, some were caused by ordinary sword and arrow magic, some were stuck in the throat by torches, some were poked in the eyes with scissors, and there was even one who was stuck in the throat by a horseshoe and nailed to a tree and suffocated, with a purple face and a tongue spitting out。
"Don't look. Wright turned around and hugged Anne to block her sight, "No, it's okay, Anne is not afraid of this" But although the little girl was stubborn, she didn't dare to take her head out of Wright's arms, and her body trembled slightly, which was much better than the first time Wright saw this kind of scene, "Well, you also saw it, it's really dangerous here, you go back quickly." Wright gently touched her head and comforted her, "No, I won't go back, I'm afraid of walking alone and meeting bad people." The corners of Wright's mouth twitched when he heard this, thinking that your ordinary bad guy could touch your shadow, but he didn't persuade him again, "Then it's okay for you to wait for me outside the city, something must have happened inside, I can't guarantee your safety." "Okay, but you're going to have to hold this, so I can know where you are, and don't lie to me and sneak away." Anne took out a small pocket watch, but it was not a time scale drawn on the dial, which Wright couldn't read, but put it away to comfort her.
Wright watched her go to the distance and began to draw a magic array that hid her body, so she turned her head and walked towards the city, the more she walked towards the city gate, the more corpses there were, and the more bizarre the dead outfit became, Wright was only 17 years old after all, although it was not the first time she saw it, but she also felt very uncomfortable, so she had to try not to squint and use the cold wind to keep her mind clear, and when she entered the city gate, it was also a dilapidation in front of her eyes, and there were several houses on fire here and there, and the black smoke column was rolling up, but fortunately it did not spread, and the corpses were not as dense as the city gate, it seemed that many people died when they escaped from the city gate, and there was a very strange and familiar fluctuation in the air, which made Wright a little impetuous。
Lieman didn't just regain this place, how could this place become like this, this is a very big blow to the people's hearts, it is not safe under the hands of the huge empire, it is the whole city slaughtered, what are the imperial army and the court mages doing, it seems that the escape that occurred on the border line before is because of this, and the cause of death here is too complicated, the biggest possibility is that cannibalism cannot kill everyone alone, can spiritual magic cause such an effect, Wright is very skeptical, I am afraid that even the top spiritual mages in the world cannot control the people in the whole city, and not only is there a huge number, it is impossible to control the intuition of the creature itself, the more they are allowed to do things that go against themselves, the more mana will be consumed, and cannibalism like madness is obviously the most difficult thing to do, even if most of them are civilians.
Wright shook his head to stop thinking nonsense, and focused on the spiritual consciousness of the affinity, giving birth to the tentacles of perception around him, there are clues! Wright found half of the torn black cloak and fell in an alley, it was the gang of men in black, Wright tracked the past, behind the cloak there was a series of blood stains that extended forward and turned out of the alley, Wright followed the blood trail and saw the body of this person on the side of the street, there were many wounds on his body, but the most fatal was the neck wound, the blood had flowed a large puddle and had begun to coagulate a little, and his face was full of surprise, as if he couldn't believe that he would die like this.
It seems that he has not been dead for a long time, there are still two people left, Wright released his spiritual sense again, and unexpectedly found another corpse not far away, most of the cloak was torn off from the front, there was no obvious wound, and there was a strange frenzy on his face, it turned out that the torn cloak belonged to this person, and he also fought with his companion just now, Wright was a little worried, the other party was also an intermediate mage but was manipulated without suspense, his spiritual power was not strong, can he resist it.
Suddenly Wright heard a burst of beautiful music, which made Wright feel a palpitation in his heart and felt boundless fear, this is not some powerful magic just a simple tune, the fear is the shadow in Wright's memory, but Wright still took a step forward, and soon could see that the end of the avenue was a square, the fountain in the middle of the square was still flowing with clear water happily, and it was even a little sparkling in the sun, which was incompatible with the surrounding blood, and the last man in black was lying on the ground of the square, peacefully as if he was asleep, but Wright could no longer feel the breath of his life, and sitting on the edge of the fountain pool is Franco, who is playing the harp.
