There used to be a magic academy in the original Wu City, but it was disbanded after a long time. Because the origin of students here has been completely accepted by other cities, and the original Wucheng can't even recruit a person with mage talent.

Owning a magic academy is a great opportunity for a city to strengthen itself. The mages trained here, when they get ahead, will more or less come to give back to their alma mater and even the entire city.

Mages have a high status in the country of the forest, and with the support of the mages, the city where they study will become stronger and more prosperous, and the cycle will continue to support each other, forming a good cycle.

And there is no such academy in the original Wucheng, which means that one of its paths has been completely wiped out, and if it wants to escape this vicious circle, it can only start from other directions. And the original Wucheng took the most difficult path - relying on the honor of his contribution to the country of the forest.

Thousands of cities, each with a thirst for honor and a desperate desire to attract the attention of the land of the forest, do not have to be low.

There are many heroes in every city, and the two geniuses who were given high hopes by the original Wucheng have already reported the news of their deaths.

This means that this road in the original Wucheng has been completely blocked, and unless there is a miracle, it will be able to survive. The so-called crusade against Warcraft is nothing more than replacing quick death with ********.

Just from the streets that Luo Xue walked, it can be seen that the original Wucheng is about to collapse.

The main streets that Luo Xue walked through were all brand new, but when she came to the remote alleys to avoid the creatures in the sewers, she found that there was a dilapidated hidden inside.

The cracked stone bricks, with every step, get stuck in the uneven cracks of the stone, and the overgrown weeds on them indicate that no one has been here for a long time.

The city lord no longer has the funds to maintain it, nor does he have the energy to care about the environment of the former Wucheng itself.

Even so, Luo Xue saw several old people trembling out of the dilapidated houses, drying their clothes on the thin branches of the stout old trees.

"Ah, I didn't expect someone to come here......" An old man with age spots on his face saw a strange young man inadvertently walk in and greeted him in a friendly manner.

"Hello. Luo Xue also responded.

"Why are you here?" the old man coughed, and nearly fell while drying his clothes.

Luo Xue saw that on the erected stand, there were several clothes worn by young people, and the old man was drying them neatly on the hanger.

"I wandered around and came here. ”

In order to avoid the unknown creatures in the sewers, Luo Xue couldn't say anything.

"It's been a long time since there have been no newcomers joining the original Wucheng. When the old man heard Luo Xue's explanation, he didn't mind, and said to Luo Xue in a friendly manner.

"Talk to us, and we will be content. Behind him was his elderly wife. The two of them are in love with each other and live in a clay tile hut here. They are full of gray hair, and it seems that their life span is short.

"Speaking of which, can't you see any young people here?" The young man clearly remembered that this place was close to the southeastern wall of the former Wucheng, and he had expected this to be a secluded corner, but it looked even more deserted. Along the way, in this group of buildings with similar styles, there were such old people, and there was not a single young man in sight.

"The children in this area have gone to the battlefield because they have been assigned to a unified formation. The old man's words did not fluctuate at all, as if he had long been accustomed to it.

Because they belong to the same city, it is common for this group of hot-blooded young people to be divided into a formation, but once they are hurt, I am afraid it will also be a tragic tragedy.

However, it seems that their children have come back without incident.

His wife returned to the hut, and a shout came from the hut: "Wife, it's time for breakfast!"

"You're our guest here, do you want to have breakfast with us?" The old man's enthusiasm made Luo Xue couldn't bear to refuse, and then agreed. In the run just now, Luo Xue was not full, and now that she sees that she has something to eat, she no longer refuses.

"You must have worked hard as a family living here...... "There is a small dining table in the house, on which there are four bowls of rice and simple pickles. Luo Xue sat in a corner, glanced at the other empty bowl of rice, and stopped talking.

"Don't you hate the original Wucheng, so that you can only live here alone. Luo Xue hesitated, and finally said to them.

"The original Wucheng is our home, and no matter what it does, we will support it. The old man said, beckoning his wife to sit down and eat together. ”

"Is this home......" Luo Xue ate quietly, with mixed feelings in her heart.

"And it's not just us, there's another family on the other side. ”

"But there's no one on the other side. Luo Xue held the bowl and looked at the room on the other side with the same structure as this one. The gate was closed, and it looked like no one had been going back and forth for some time.

"They disappeared ten days ago, probably back to their hometown, they should be back soon. The old man thought for a moment.

"Speaking of which, there are fewer and fewer people around here, so I guess it's because of the end of life......" The two old men seemed to be talking to themselves.

Although the old man said this, Luo Xue vaguely smelled a foul smell in the air. This stench is very familiar to Luo Xue, and only corpses can emit it. The stench came from the deep path, the source was buried by weeds, and it stretched into the depths of the path. There is a sewer buried by weeds.

In the Mercenary Association, such a platinum-level commission was once issued to search for the mysterious missing knights in the city, but this matter ended in nothing, but after that, he did not disappear because of this incident. It was gradually forgotten, and no one remembered it.

But this commission has always existed, occupying a small corner of the bulletin board in the Mercenary Guild.

Platinum-level entrustment requires at least a platinum-level mercenary group to take it. If the mercenary group wants to have such strength, it must at least have a warrior with an outgoing fighting spirit. Being able to kidnap a knight without knowing it is of course very dangerous if there is such an enemy.

However, in the original Wu City, it seems that there is no mercenary group stationed here, and a single mercenary will naturally not accept such a risky commission. At the same time, due to the despicable history of the original Wucheng, no one took this seemingly rewarding commission.

But Luo Xue now feels that the matter is definitely not over......

After breakfast, Luo Xue stood up and said goodbye to them.

"Oh, this kid ......" The two old men sighed after watching Luo Xue reject their enthusiasm and leave decisively. Then they looked at each other, and behind them they saw five more purple and gold coins suddenly appearing on the dining table, knowing in their hearts that the deceased had left the coins for the young man.

These five purple gold coins were enough for them to live for two months.

"What a kind child...... I hope you will grow smoothly with the blessing of the God of Light. The old man blessed as he left behind muddy old tears. On the other side of the dining table was another porcelain bowl with the food, as if there had been a person there.

"Son, you have to be like him. The old man turned his head to the air and said, like his child sitting there.

The two old men, having lost their only child, have gone insane......

Luo Xue didn't leave here, he stood by the side window of the opposite hut and looked inside. Gritting his teeth, there was a fierce battle in his heart.

The lord of the castle must know, but ......

Eventually, he sighed and walked towards the depths of the alley. (To be continued.) )
