Chapter 8: Nine (2/3)
It was a little late, and there were not many people left in Anxi Square who were waiting to test the wizard's potential, and at this time, Oss had already gone back to rest first, and the whole scene was continued to be presided over by a wizard who had been standing next to Oss before.
The red-robed wizard never appeared in the sight of Bird and the others again.
"Bird, eighth," Mia reminded in a low voice.
"Well, the eighth," Bird made another gesture on the trunk of the tree beside him, and the three of them no longer had the same energy as when they first arrived. Now it's the three of them who take turns to spy on the movement, and every once in a while they change someone, and the other two just have to rest.
"Go get something to eat, it's my turn" Bird patted Mia on the shoulder and motioned for her to rest, as Angelo closed his eyes and rested.
Mia didn't say much, she stepped back a position to make room for Bird, and then walked sideways to the position behind Bird, and Bird directly filled it.
At this time, the heavy snow has not stopped, and the snow on the square has already reached a thick layer.
But the crowd in the square has not dispersed, because there are still the last few people who have not yet finished testing. At this time, the people with wizarding potential were sent to the hotel, of course, they would not suffer from the cold, but some of the people who were still waiting in the square were tested to have no wizarding potential.
Among them were babies and old men, strong men and sick women, and they all gathered together to keep each other warm in this moment of heavy snowfall.
Everyone is hoping that the last few people can pass the test quickly, and these people don't care whether the transparent stone will shine or not, whether this person has wizarding potential, they just hope that they can go home early and hug the stove and bake the fire with peace of mind.
Some of the sick women and mothers with their young children were getting impatient because they couldn't afford it.
A little more time passed, and it was getting dark.
However, at this time, the Anxi Collar was full of fires, and the lights were bright, especially the Anxi Square was like daylight, I don't know what materials this torch was made of, and it was difficult for the heavy wind and snow to affect the torch at all.
The last few people were also tested at this time.
"There are nine people in total," Bird reminded Mia and Angelo behind him.
Seeing that the entire detection process had been completed, the wizard guards scattered around also returned to Na'an Creek Square in part, and the patrol force that was originally formed not far from Bird was only a few people at this time, standing separately, one person holding a place, standing more scattered.
"Go and inform the Dean," the wizard who had just presided over the testing ceremony in place of Oss ordered the wizard to guard beside him.
A wizard guard hurriedly agreed, and then ran towards the street leading to Anxi Square.
At this time, a cry came from the crowd of 'abandoned', "Wizards, can we disperse and go home to rest?", this cry did not know who made it, but it resonated with everyone, and they immediately echoed it one by one, and they all responded to the desire to go home and roast the fire.
Seeing that no one responded to those wizards, they began to complain that this snowstorm was really not a place for people to stay, and they immediately made a lot of noise.
"Want to go back?" At this time, in the heavy wind and snow, an afterimage appeared on the testing table.
It was Os, the moment Oss appeared, everyone around him hurriedly bowed their heads and called him Lord Dean. But Oss only had the transparent stone in his eyes, and when he saw that there were snowflakes falling on the stone, he quickly took out a handkerchief and swept it away, and then gently pinched it up through the veil, as if admiring a work of art.
"How many are there?"
"Reply to my lord, there are nine in total!"
"Not bad, there are quite a lot of people in this village, and I hope there will be as many people in the next village as this one," he said, and Oss wrapped the transparent stone in a veil, and then put it away.
After harvesting, I looked at the crowd of people who had been 'abandoned'.
"You want to go back?"
"Yes, my lord," one of the bold men stood up and responded with Oss in the eye.
'Boom', I saw that the bold man was directly hugged by the fire, and suddenly the crowd screamed in panic, and quickly dispersed, and an open space appeared in the crowd. I saw that screams continued to be heard from the fire, but the fire was not weakened by the heavy wind and snow, but rose when it met the wind, and immediately swallowed the whole person.
"Son, my son!" I saw a white-haired old man, old and old, but at this time he was crying and wanted to run towards the fire, but fortunately some residents pulled him and did not let him get close, but for this white-haired old man, there was no difference.
Everyone who originally felt cold suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and their hearts became colder and colder, they knew that this matter could not be solved so easily.
The fire burned so fast that it seemed that there was nothing left to burn.
I saw that the man was rolling on the ground with a wail, trying to extinguish the fire on his body with the snow on the ground, but it was useless, and gradually the man stopped calling, and gradually there was no more movement, the fire was extinguished, and a black-charred corpse appeared in front of everyone, and the death was extremely hideous.
"That's how your magistrate died yesterday," Oss glanced at the crowd, all of them looking at him with resentment or hatred, but they all chose to remain quiet.
Oss seemed to appreciate the sudden silence of these men, and seemed to have achieved the result he wanted.
"Yes, just be obedient, and there won't be so many people dead, right!
"Do you want to go back?" said Oss, who seemed happy.
But there was no one in the crowd to answer this question. The black-scorched corpse in front of you is the best warning.
The wind and snow blew, and some people began to shiver, not knowing if it was because of the cold or the cold.
'Ahh
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sneeze, and suddenly a flame entangled a person again, and the person directly wailed and kept wailing, "It's not my sneezing!"
"Oh, that's you" The flames wrapped around the man again, but the man had been burned by the flames for a long time.
"Don't ......," the man was speechless in pain.
"That's you" The three rows of people were suddenly entangled in flames and burned, and everyone retreated, some of them wailed about their children and husbands, but they could only watch this scene happen.
"Ahh
