What's going on?

Audrey thought almost blankly.

Theoretically, this was already her second surprise attack, the first being a surprise airship raid in Beckland. She already has the experience of escaping, and now she doesn't have to worry about damage, so she should quickly cheer up, hurry up with the doctors and nurses in the hospital who are still active, and take the people alive in the hospital to the nearby open area in an orderly manner to take refuge-

But she couldn't move, her arms trembling violently, and her legs were completely powerless. Not to mention standing up and walking, Audrey even lost the courage to look up and could fall back at any time.

Because - this is not a man-made disaster like a bomber, what befalls here is a natural disaster, a divine punishment.

Man cannot disobey the gods.

Man must be punished by the gods.

But the gods love humanity and therefore do not inflict divine punishment at will, so only sinners and blasphemers are punished.

…… Am I a sinner?

…… God, great God, am I a sinner because I helped these people and turned away from Rune's position?

She didn't hear the thunder that almost burst her eardrums, but she saw the silver-white lightning outside the window that almost tore the sky, vast and terrifying, like a rift, like a huge thunder tree.

She didn't hear the wind, but she felt the wind around her. In this world without sound, Audrey sees through the gaps in the collapsed buildings the trees that are almost "bowing" by the hurricane, and sees the signs and canopies of roadside restaurants swept away by the wind, and people are struggling to support themselves in the storm, and the slightest carelessness will be swept away.

Of course, the gods don't care about the fear and uneasiness of a small audience who is not a demigod, and they don't care if there is a birthday party in a small hospital that has just been destroyed.

God is only intent on destroying this place and punishing this place.

Audrey trembles in the face of the calamity, her education makes her surrender to the majesty of the gods, and her reason tells her that there is now only one god in the whole world who has the power of thunder.

This is the god she has been feared since she was a child, a god who has sheltered Rune for thousands of years like the goddess of the night she believes in.

"Honorable, Honorable Thunder and God of Truth......"

The doll's body was devoid of blood or tears, and she maintained a somewhat demented-looking expression, motionless.

If it is a man-made attack, even if it is a sudden natural disaster, Audrey will not have a blank mind, and she will do her best to bring the people around her to survive. But this is a god, this is a god she has been taught from childhood to adulthood, a god who needs to be feared, who needs to be feared! - In this world, even the evil gods such as the Hidden Sage, the True Creator, and the Primordial Witch are recognized by the power of their gods, and although they do not trust, they never dare to disobey easily.

Why, O God, why now, why here, why them?

The country is weak and impoverished, and separated by an ocean from Rune on the Northern Continent, so it's not worth ...... Base......

However, it was originally a colony, although it did not belong to Rune.

After a brief moment of stunned and frightened, Audrey seemed to understand something. But at that moment, she felt something in her hand move slightly, and she let out a faint breathing sound.

Audrey quickly lowered her head and found that Ana was at her hand.

“——！ ——！ ”

It seems that when the divine punishment came just now, her doll body was only affected by the spirit and lost its senses, but it happened to be in front of Ana, so that she didn't suffer any major damage, but was just stunned. Audrey's heart was racing, and she finally found some sense of being alive, and she wanted to thank the gods in her heart, but she couldn't say anything.

She shouted Ana's name aloud, shaking the little girl's shoulders, and in Audrey's expectant gaze, she finally saw the child's eyelids move slightly, and then opened them with difficulty.

“…… Orr...... Miss ......"

Ana struggled to make a small sound from her throat, the ghost in front of her eyes gradually disappeared, and consciousness gradually returned to her body.

She saw Miss Orr looking anxiously at her, and with the gaze of her golden eyes, she felt a relaxing force fall on her, and the uneasiness and fear in her heart gradually disappeared a little. She struggled to sit up, and found herself lucky that her body was not crushed by the masonry or pierced by the steel bar.

"What's going on......?"

Ana turned her head blankly, feeling a sharp pain in her skull.

Then, she saw what seemed to be purgatory on earth, and her pupils narrowed uncontrollably.

Audrey was just about to give the girl another comfort, when she saw Ana shouting something and stood up, staggered into the crowd, picked up the child who should have been blessed today, pulled him out of his mother's gradually cold arms, hugged him tightly, patted him on the back constantly, and slowly knelt on the ground.

Both children seemed to be crying, and Audrey saw it.

She gasped hard twice and stood up against the shattered chair beside her. As soon as she thought that it was the god of thunder who inflicted the divine punishment, she couldn't help but want to shrink, to cry, to kneel down and pray.

If she hadn't been ordealt with again and again, she would have been at a loss by now, or she might just think about running away with Ana and Davin.

But the will to survive and the child's silent cry stung her eyes, and in the pain, she once again changed from a pious, innocent and weak Miss "Audrey Hall" who would ask her parents and elders for help to become a reliable and mature "Letty Orr" doctor in the Highland Hospital.

There is no one here to help her.

If she doesn't save herself and doesn't stand up again, everyone will die!

The moment Audrey stood up and straightened her back again, she forgot her piety, she forgot her fears, and she only remembered what she had to do.

She strode forward, grabbed the two children who were crying together, and made them stop crying for a moment with her usual gentle eyes. Audrey pointed to her ear, shook her hand, and then pointed outside, motioning for them to leave.

Then, she pulled Ana up from the ground and went to grab the doctor, whose arm had been impaled through the steel bar.

Seeing Miss Letty Orr approaching, the doctor suddenly showed a saving look, Audrey couldn't help but tremble in front of this look, she realized her position and importance in the hearts of these people like never before—thanks to the clothes and shoes made by His Royal Highness Richard, after overcoming the fear in her heart, Audrey only felt that she was as light as a swallow, walking as fast as flying, and the falling stones above did not make her feel pain.

Rockfall above ......

Audrey looked up and made eye contact with the giant doll. Probably not on her partion, she saw Tawfik's body begin to twist, as if it was about to be unable to maintain this form.

There's no time to hesitate!

If I hadn't been kneeling there in a daze just now, I would have taken them out by now......

She grabbed the rebar.

In the doctor's stunned eyes, Audrey broke the steel bar like a toothpick, threw it out of the doctor's wound, and then grabbed the bandage and alcohol sterilization and bandaged it as fast as lightning, not forgetting to hypnotize the other party, so that he did not feel pain.

In the treatment of patients who harm themselves in madness, and who hurt others in madness, Audrey has long been familiar with blood and wounds.

The doctor was a little sluggish, and when this skillful process was over, he looked at Letty Orr as if he had known her on the first day.

In the meantime, Audrey had rescued two more survivors and began to soothe them and treat their wounds.

The doctor didn't waste any time, he moved his arm a few times, and after making sure that it didn't interfere with his work, he immediately beckoned Ana to help him take out a small cart from the medical supplies storage not far away, put a layer of quilts on it, and put a few wounded people on it.

……

Beckland, Hilston District.

Furth had been on a "trip" once and finally received a reply from her teacher, Dorian Gray Abraham.

"There are no 'Star Bugs' at the moment...... Let me keep an eye on what else the people who want to buy the 'Star Bug'......"

Firth read the teacher's letter and breathed a sigh of relief silently.

"The house of Abraham has been in hiding from that ...... The Church of the God of Mysteries reached some consensus and made initial cooperation on the premise of exchanging some of the secret knowledge, and the Sage of the God of Mysteries revealed that God had a way to temporarily save the torment of the tormented Abrahamic family from the torment of babbling, but that price was not something they could afford. ”

Furth looked at the reverse side of the letter again, and thought for a moment:

“…… Teacher Dorian seemed to be a little hesitant, but it was not impossible to get this favor, and he only needed to agree to a request from the Church of the God of Mysteries...... What is this requirement? Teacher Dorian also has a certain status in Abraham, and he has not been informed of the specific content of the request at present. What exactly is this requirement? ”

Mr. "The Fool" once said that the full moon whispered was the cry for help of the ancestor of the Abrahamic family, "Mr. Men", after he was trapped.

In the kingdom of Mr. Fool, the whispering of the full moon does not disturb Forthth, and perhaps the church can help...... Surely it is not to put the entire Abrahamic family into the kingdom of God, that is, the items that have been blessed by the gods of the Abrahamic family? Help them block the full moon whispers? Or...... Since it's a god, can you save Mr. "Gate"?

In this way, the full moon whispering is really over completely!

This may undoubtedly make the best-selling author Furth frown, the story of the Abrahams family and the ancestor "Mr. Men" are all true legends, and if they can be written into a biography, they will definitely be ...... Forthth stopped thinking just in time to think about something dangerous.

"It's great, Hugh, that the teacher has successfully established themselves in Intis, and maybe they can get help from the church."

Furth said to her friend in a relaxed tone, but looking back, the smile on her face faded and became tense:

"That traitor, Boutis has appeared again?!"

"Yes, yes, he is the 'Secret Sage' of the Aurora Society, and now the Aurora Society has become the Orthodox Church of Intis...... He had betrayed his teacher and the Abrahamic family, and he would certainly not want to see the Abrahamic family regain its stability and strength with the help of another god! ”

When the teacher wrote in the letter that "Boutis appeared in the corner of the Abraham family's new residence in the night", she sweated for the teacher's people, and saw that Boutis broke the seal in the manor and released the seal brought by the family, and when she wanted to make this assassination disguised as a tragedy caused by the seal out of control, Firth couldn't stand it, she slapped the table hard, He angrily cursed the traitorous sage with words that were too unpalatable for a lady.

Fortunately, the demigods sent by the god of mysteries to negotiate with Abraham were nearby and provided timely rescue. But before Furth could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw that the specific casualties of her clan had been brushed off by Teacher Dorian, and Dorian comforted her a few words and told her not to worry too much.

Firth's fingers clenched slightly, almost immediately teleporting to Intis to help the teacher, and the idea of hunting the "Secret Sage" Boutis intensified, and she became nervous again.

After all, this is a demigod and half-human being, who was a Sequence 4 Sage a year or two ago, and now maybe it is Sequence 3.

"This guy is simply hateful, he has already become a member of the Orthodox God Church with the Aurora Society, but he is still narrow-minded, for fear of being sought revenge by the Abraham family...... The death of 'Mr. X' Louis Vane was afraid that it scared him to do such an irrational thing. ”

"He's so irrational now, it's a good opportunity...... It's a pity that the Church of the God of Mysteries won't necessarily pursue it, otherwise you can consider asking the 'Hermit' lady to help, but there are also 'Redemption Roses' behind the Aurora Society, as well as angels, the king of angels, and I'm just a decoy, and now that Boutis has appeared directly, I don't have to worry about my safety......"

Furth did not regret that she had agreed to Gelman Sparrow's request to buy the "Star Bug", which in itself was something she wanted to do, but because the risk was too high, it was inevitable that she would be a little flustered and uneasy.

"But isn't Mr. Gelman's messenger a spirit creature lady? Why did it become a monster ......"

This made her can't help but imagine another possibility:

"If Mr. 'World' could be involved and led by him, then I would definitely not be so nervous and worried."

It's not that Forthth doesn't believe in the strength and experience of the "Hermit" lady, but it's that the record of "The World" Gelman Sparrow is there, and the thought of him carrying out a similar mission makes people feel reassured.

Hugh, who was sitting by the fireplace, glanced at his friend and asked:

"Are you thinking about hunting that Boutis?"

"Hmm." Furth nodded solemnly, and then said, "But not so soon, I will find an opportunity to write to you." ”

Hunting a demigod is not to go fox hunting in the suburbs in autumn, bring your equipment, gather all your friends, and you can set off, which requires absolutely rigorous and meticulous planning, and Firth believes that the "hermit" lady has to find Boutis herself, or live in another predetermined battlefield for a while, and find out the specific situation, in order to make a plan that is effective enough.

And Miss "Justice" is still speeding up the digestion of the "Dream Walker" potion, which may take another one to two months, or even longer.

For Furth, she could afford to wait.

Because she also wants to digest the "Recorder" potion before the official action, arrange the ceremony, and become a "traveler".

Furth stretched, then leaned back against the soft cushions of the seat, looked at the ceiling, and said to himself:

"I don't know what everyone in the Tarot Club is doing......"

……

Finally all the wounded in the hospital were sent to a nearby shelter - the shelter was built with lightning, fire and waterproofing, and now Audrey has to admire Richard's idea.

"Please come with us, Miss Orr!"

The doctor said, "It's too dangerous here, we have to leave!" ”

Audrey tilted her head, her hearing recovering a little, and she could hear a few vague words, and she could hear the doctor trying to persuade her to leave.

"And ...... patients, need...... I. ”

She said slowly, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the clouds above her head that seemed to converge again, as if someone was standing on the highest point, waiting for the thunder to fall like a lightning rod.

"There are no more patients here."

The doctor said anxiously, "Almost everyone is here!" The extraordinaries of those schools work during the day and are not here. ”

Audrey shook her head and pointed upward.

The doctor didn't dare to follow her fingers to look up, his Adam's apple rolled, then gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously, he took out an amulet from his hand and stuffed it into Audrey, and then pushed the wounded to run towards the escape route without looking back.

Ana couldn't help but turn around, but was grabbed by the doctor and ran forward.

Just as their backs were completely gone, the giant doll supporting the other small half of the hospital collapsed violently, and the entire hospital collapsed with a bang.

…… Audrey closed her eyes and walked over with a sturdy walk, reaching out to dig up the completely buried Tawfik from the masonry rubble.

Suddenly, a hand jerked out of the crack in the masonry and grabbed her by the throat.

Audrey was startled, and then saw the shattered black and red mask through the crack, the exhausted demigod revealing a half-fleshed face, a pair of eyes that hid madness and hatred stared at her.

But Audrey didn't feel the killing intent.

Even though the hand was so hard that it almost snapped her neck off.

TBC

——————

If he wants to kill me, he should suck my soul directly......

Audrey was silent for a moment, then reached out and pressed her hand against the back of Tawfik's dark, scarred hand, reassuring the demigod.

"Don't worry about my safety."

"I'm here to help you, I'm not going to just leave, and please respect my will and don't break this container."

In the midst of the ruins and thunderstorms, she said with a firmness she had never felt before.
