Chapter 8: The Two-Legged Sheep

"Sister Kanis. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo”

Little Ramon exclaimed, his voice like a cool fountain that regained some clarity to the girl's feverish brain. The world became clear again, and Arcanis looked at little Ramon's innocent black eyes, which were so clear that they reflected the figure of a girl with a broken arm.

Slaughter?

This proposal sounds wonderful and relieving. But it was a poisonous pastry, and besides, Arcanis didn't want little Ramon to turn himself into a monster in his clear eyes.

She turned her head, ignored the rude food delivery man, and followed the flow of people to the next place.

The stone wall was like a ditch, and the flow of people flowing into it, driven by the soldiers and the loud orders of the officials, divided into several tributaries, and flowed honestly to the predetermined location.

"Three thousand five hundred and twenty-one, three thousand five hundred and twenty-two. Why are there so many?"

On the stone watchtower, an official complained in a low voice.

Arcanis caught the words from the noise and didn't pay much attention. They crossed wooden bridges, and circled in a labyrinth of stone walls, watchtowers, and soldiers. The three of them are in a smaller and smaller team. RamΓ³n looked longingly at the walls of the city, which meant plenty of food to him.

"Stop! stop!"

An armored samurai stepped out of a space separated by a wooden wall. He had several elemental wands pinned to his waist, and by the blue-gold patterns on his shoulder armor, he could tell that this guy was a knight of the lowest rank.

"Bring them in!"

He shouted, and Arcanis gave him a strange look. The girl with the broken arm at this "checkpoint" had some doubts, she always felt that there were too many troops here, as if she was going to set off immediately to fight the believers of God.

"Daddy, Daddy. Magic wand!"

Little Ramon happily pointed to the wand at his waist and jumped and shouted.

"Oh, dear. Ramon crouched down and picked up his son, following the crowd, "That's not for us, they're the prize for the player with the highest score." ”

"Daddy, Daddy. Ramon Jr. waved his little hand and said, "Are there any play-offs?"

"I'm afraid not. ”

As soon as the crowd entered the "big room" enclosed by wooden walls, several coolies in blue vests immediately lifted the heavy wooden door and closed it.

Arcanis felt like a herd of herds, driven into the sheepfold. However, unlike the sheepfold, in this "room" there is a raised earthen platform.

"Carpenters, stonemasons, and others with skills and combat training walked through the second passage. A fierce woman held up a loud horn that would automatically make a sound, and the loudspeaker shouted, "Elemental master, even if you can set off a little flame, leave through the first passage." Those who can read and have knowledge of engineering leave from the third passage. The rest of the people left from the fourth passage! Whoever wants to fish in troubled waters and interfere with the screening will be dealt with according to the laws of the Empire!

Listening to Wen Crepe's voice, Ramon was very excited.

"The empire is sifting through useful people. His black beard trembled with excitement, "Kanis, our hard days have come to an end. ”

"Perhaps. ”

Arcanis frowned, thinking that it was better to blend into the land of civilization first. Prepare some more food before fleeing west.

They walked into the second passage, and after passing through the passage, they came to a wide space. On the left is a group of prisoners, numb, panting on a wooden treadmill. The treadmill drives a series of delicate gears to power the massive labyrinth, after all, the elemental stone has to be used on the blade.

"This is the liar's down!" the still brutal soldier, "go to the wooden table and register, it's too late to regret it!"

Dozens of wooden tables were arranged in parallel lines, and Ramon pulled his son, who couldn't wait to sit on the table, and smiled flatteringly at the female registrar. Arcanis stood beside him.

"Have you ever eaten that meat?"

The registrar lifted the thick lenses from the tall register, and Arkanis noticed that the lamp on the table was on.

"What kind of meat. ”

The female registrar has a few wrinkles on her yellow face, forming a disdainful shape. She glanced at the lamp beside her, which seemed to signal the death penalty.

"It seems to have been eaten these days. She said, "Let's go! The city doesn't need you people who don't have a bottom line!"

"You, what are you talking about?"

Ramon blinked, his words stuttering in shock.

"I've seen a lot. The registrar knocked on the table, his tone getting higher and higher, "Fortunately, the wisdom of Prince Ladovid has allowed you crazy demons who don't even let go of their own kind to appear as prototypes. Otherwise, I don't know what else this city will be ruined by you!"

"Ahh

Little Ramon was frightened by her and clutched his father's sleeve.

"Is it mutton?" Ramon smiled again, and he stood up, touching his son's head as he led him away, "Look, we eat too much mutton, so much that she's angry." At that time, when they were handing out mutton, they said, "Your child cries like a puppy, that's why they gave me a few pieces of mutton." ”

As he spoke, he scratched little Ramon's nose again

"I said no, bring the mutton. So I gave us so much lamb that I forgot that I would deduct points. ”

Arcanis glanced at their backs and sat down in their chairs, the lights on the table not on.

"You didn't eat human flesh?" she glanced at the lamp, "I thought you were in league with that man-eater. ”

The girl with the broken arm didn't look at her, but at the exit. The empire needs useful people, and she plans to blend in with the useful crowd and sneak into the city at nightfall. The vultures of the empire must not be able to find her, because there are so many refugees.

"Where are you looking?"

She tapped the table with her pen.

"That's not human flesh. Arcanis got up slowly and looked around, "It's mutton, two-legged mutton." ”

As she spoke, she caught up with the Ramon father and son.

"Sister Canis!" little Ramon cried out with joy when he saw Arcanis.

"I want to get the Fire Wand too, and don't forget the play-offs. Arcanis leaned down, and a smile appeared on Asako's face, "Let's continue as a group, as long as you don't cry, we will definitely win the jackpot." ”

Little Ramon had a big smile on his face.

"When you play with the Fire Wand, will you give it to the cat?"

"Of course, you little slippery head. ”

Arcanis stood up and handed Melly, who had made a protesting cry, into Ramon's arms, and exchanged with him for a fake wand that he had always cherished.

"I think the West has a better chance, I heard that there is going to be a war somewhere. ”

The girl with the broken arm habitually shrugged her shoulders and said to the puzzled Ramon.

So they and a large group of refugees were driven out of this "checkpoint" by soldiers. Driven by a group of cavalry, the refugees moved slowly on the yellow earth like sheep in the bloody sunset.

I don't know how many times I have walked this escape road, and everywhere you can see tents made of dead wood and leaves, which can only block the sun. Winters are getting colder and colder, and many people who don't bring quilts are killed by the cold at night. The empire provided nothing more to its people than a bag of boiled potatoes.

The huge procession struggled to move around the wilderness, leaving behind stiff corpses and puddles of filthy dung. Some of the refugees couldn't take it anymore and broke away from the team and fled in the direction of the city. It didn't take long for their bodies to hang on dead wood. Arcanis discovered that the Empire's blue vultures had taken on the role of wolves, tracking down any "two-legged sheep" who dared to flee from the shepherds.

No wonder their tracking capabilities are so strong. Arcanis thought that this group of refugees who were useless to the Empire would still be useful after all, although their escape skills were not professional, but under the desire to survive, they would do their best to escape, giving the young Imperial vultures a good opportunity to hone their skills.

Even so, the dirty flock largely obeyed the orders of the shepherd dogs and headed in the direction of the carrots promised in the distance.

After beating up eight unsightly fellows, Arcanis was in a much better situation than everyone else.

She lay down on a bed made of clean, withered grass and fell asleep, her voice waking her up.

"Arcanis, Boss, Boss. ”

He opened his eyes and saw a thin child, very ugly.

Arcanis immediately remembered who he was, his name was Little Bug.......
