Chapter 57: Gathering
For the next week, a group of people died in the city of Lente every night, and the causes of their deaths were different, but the only thing they had in common was that those who died on the same night died in exactly the same way.
At the same time, Mick and Aubrey searched for Leo for a week, but to no avail. Leo disappeared into the city of Lente overnight, and Mick and Mick would check the location of the morgue every day to see if there was any news of Leo, but nothing came of it.
It was another day, before the day was completely bright, Mike heard the sound of small pieces outside the house, and the sound of pushing the window became more noisy, and the family was moving the few things left in the family into the carriage one by one, but the owner of the horse thought that the family had too many things, and might be tired of his beloved horse, so the original negotiated price changed, so the quarrel began, accompanied by the fighting and crying between the children of the family.
Not far away, on the other side of the alleyway, it seems that a family is also moving, trying to escape the city.
"It's a pity that we can't escape the city with them and see the scenery outside. Aubrey also woke up at this point.
The two had organized once before to escape from the city. It's a pity that not long after leaving the city, they received a reminder from the space, warning the two of them to go ten meters further and directly enter the obliteration range, so the two had to give up and stay in the city honestly now.
At this moment, a child ran out of the end of the alleyway, shouting loudly as he ran, "What's the latest news, there was another death last night, the wound of the deceased was located on the sole of his foot, and he died of blood all over his body." ”
Along the way, the child saw a family that quickly closed their windows or doors at every passing place. The child was not afraid, especially when he saw the family who were about to move out of the city of Lente.
"Son of a bitch, yell at me to beat you to death!" I saw the head of the family, a middle-aged man with a big belly, threatening to beat the child. The child was not surprised, but screamed a little louder. Seeing that the man was about to chase after him, the child directly knocked down the furniture and other things that had been installed in the carriage.
directly let the fat middle-aged man fall and eat, and the groom who was about to be caught on the other side was helpless, so he could only watch the child disappear at the other end of the alley with a smile.
And at this moment, from where the child came, a patrol force of several people was slowly walking towards this side.
Mick waited here for news, and after watching a farce, he stopped any longer, closed the window and prepared to go downstairs to eat.
"Afternoon ......" Mick was about to say something, but was interrupted by Aubrey.
"You say, is our mission to survive in this city, and to live until the thirtieth day?"
"That's what the mission instructions say, what do you think?" Mick paused, going to his usual routine, which was supposed to be the time to head out to the tavern in the city.
"I wonder if this quest has anything to do with the King of Conquest, and if we take the initiative to find the King of Conquest and kill him, will the world disappear?" a series of thoughts popped through Aubrey's head.
"This king of conquest may just be a title, and if this 'king of conquest' dies, there may be another 'king of conquest'. And we don't even know what a conquering king is now, how can we kill him, how can we be sure that we can kill him?"
'Oooo
"Attention the occupants of the house, the lord has decreed that no one should leave the city of Lente with immediate effect. In addition, before dark tonight, we will gather in the open space in the east of the city, and the lord has something to announce, if you don't participate, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
The knocker was the same group of soldiers that Mick had just seen.
Presumably, these people have also seen a lot of Mick's closed doors, pretending that there is no one in the house. Therefore, he did not respond to the others, and after finishing speaking, he left directly, and continued to knock on the door of several houses next door to read.
It wasn't long before Mick heard the family arguing with the soldier from the house of the man who was about to move out of the city.
Night.
The entire city of Lente was largely plunged into darkness, and the crowds were pouring towards the open space to the east of the city. It is said that this vacant land was originally reserved for the lord to build a palace, but as time went on, he gradually forgot about this place, and today it has become the center of the largest square in the city of Lente, although the ground is still mud, but it has the advantage of being close to the palace where the lord lives.
"I heard that in the past few days, many people have taken advantage of this trend to kill their enemies, or people who are not used to seeing them usually. ”
"I heard that the wounds were found because they were not uniform, and it is said that some people were killed by others on the way to kill. ”
"Who do you say kills so many people every night"
"Said to be a vampire!"
Mick and Aubrey were hiding in a corner at this time, and while listening to the discussion, the two of them were also whispering something in secret.
"If it continues like this, it is estimated that the entire city of Lente will be in chaos"
"And it's forbidden for anyone to move out of Lente City now, I guess it's going to be the next few days."
"In the next few days, let's stock up on some more food for a rainy day"
"You mean to tell me to get some more windfalls?"
"Shall I go?" said Aubrey with a slight cough, as if he was slightly weak, and gave Mick a blank look.
Mick's mood at this time was like halfway through a meal, when he suddenly found half a fly corpse in the bowl, and half of it......
At this time, a carriage came along the avenue, with carved reliefs. Suddenly there was a crowd of people, and the two Mike had to protect their bodies and grab the long sword they were carrying, but they didn't bother to pay attention to the carriage that came.
"It's the Douglas carriage!"
"There's a carriage in the back! It's Vic's."
"This should be Miss Douglas!"
With the arrival of the carriage one by one, the frequency of the entire crowd also increased instantly. Mick and the others had no intention of looking at the carriage and the people in it, so even if they stood still, they were actually constantly being squeezed outward against the crowd.
"Looks like the nobles of Lunte"
"Haven't these guys seen a woman before?" Mick was not in a good mood at this time, he had to take care that the long sword he was carrying would not be discovered, and on the other hand, he had to control his body to prevent himself from being knocked down
"Nobility gives women another layer of charm"
