Chapter 80: Peaceful Pipe Town (Part II)

The warehouse in Pipe Town is in a very inconspicuous place, and if it weren't for the fact that you only have to go around the alleyway to the town gate, not many people would have found this old and dilapidated building in existence, and the only people who work here all year round are the clerks who work here and the people of the local chamber of commerce.

"Four of the newly arrived bags of wheat have been eaten by insects, and can only be depreciated and sent to the relief house, and last year's dates and nettles ......" The old accountant lay on the thick ledger, the quill in his hand seemed to have dried up, and the dim candle only allowed him to barely see where the inkwell was.

"Squeak ......" The old doorway turned with a screeching sound, and the glare of light shining in from the outside made the old accountant squint - despite her cloak and hood, she could still tell that she was a pretty woman, at least above and below......

"Are you the administrator of this warehouse?" The woman suddenly spoke, her voice sounding as if she was seducing people's souls, and the old accountant was stunned: "Uh...... Yes, yes, what are you going to do?"

"We're going to go into the warehouse now, and the Chamber of Commerce is going to pick up a shipment and tell me to come here. Although she said it politely, the woman was quite cold: "Do you have your key on you, if you can, I want to go into the warehouse to inspect the goods now." ”

"Now...... No, no, it's too late, you better come tomorrow!" the old accountant's vicious eyes swept back and forth over the woman, swallowing saliva in his throat: "It's time to collect the warehouse now, and you have to wait until ......"

"Smack!" a money bag was thrown on the table by the woman, and the old accountant quickly picked it up and weighed it—at least twenty of them, and a flattering smile immediately appeared on the old face full of folds: "Please wait a minute, my apprentice has gone to the warehouse to count the goods, and the key is still on him, or you can wait a while......"

The old accountant was still laughing, and suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and his trembling eyes saw the short blade stabbed by the expressionless woman, and the throat kept bubbling out and making strange sounds, and the blood with jam kept spurting out.

"I'm sorry......" Kayla sighed softly, pulling the blade out of the old accountant's throat, clutching her neck in convulsions, the blood spurting out of which soaked the old brown ledger with a dark red, and lay there with her mouth wide open like a fish that couldn't breathe.

"Let's do it. Kayla whispered softly, so small that only anyone else could hear it. Immediately, the sound of sharp blades coming out of the sheath sounded around the warehouse, and the faint words of the pre-death cry could be faintly heard.

It didn't take long for one after another hooded and cloak figures to break into the warehouse from all directions, on the balcony, in front of the gate, on the beams, in the corners...... The hall outside was quickly completely surrounded and contained, all covered in blood, and holding daggers or light crossbows in their hands.

"Let's ......" The locked door of the closed warehouse was opened, and a young man with a wine-colored face and blue eyes came out of the warehouse: "I said that Old Yoni, you have made false accounts again, how can there be four bags of wheat that have been eaten by insects, and they are all good......"

The young man froze, and the old Yoni was lying on the ledger, his eyes twitching like a broken tube, and a woman with a short knife stood beside him.

"This, this, this...... Uhh!!!!h

Without saying a word, Kayla removed a beautifully crafted cylinder from her waist and threw it directly to the young man, who reluctantly opened the lid of the cylinder, which contained a dark yellow liquid.

"Drink it, and we'll let you escape. Kayla waved her hand slightly, and the hooded figures around her immediately put away the weapons in their hands: "And we won't hurt you until you finish drinking." ”

The young man had no choice, so he lifted the cylinder up in a panic and poured it into his mouth—like some kind of slime, and some like unsalted sauce, thick and sticky, as if he had not drunk it himself, but the dark yellow liquid that had escaped into it by himself.

The young man staggered into the warehouse, and immediately locked the door. All the members of the Blood Banner Brotherhood who stood there watched in silence as Kayla did, as if waiting for something.

It didn't take long for a creepy scream to come from behind the door, it didn't look like a cry of pain, as if something was coming back to life, slowly awakening, little by little from the world that didn't belong to it, to re-enter this world!

Kayla shuddered, she had heard Marco Tasker tell how the "ghouls" were created, the worse ones were hyenas or apes, or the wild goblins that roamed the Dominica......

And now, the pain that the young man experienced was definitely a thousand or ten thousand times more terrible than that of a ghoul...... Kayla closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she turned to look at the brothers, her expression seemingly cold.

"Gratoni is complete, and hatching will take at least until late at night - it's your job to protect this place from anyone before that - escape from here as soon as it's over, and everyone will see for themselves the day of our revenge!"

No one answered her, but they all nodded silently, and a tragic atmosphere permeated the warehouse. They put on their cloaks and hoods and went incognito, waiting and looking forward to that day.

.................. "Gratoni is a hungry demon, so it can only eat, and it knows nothing but eating. It has no eyes, no nose, no hearing, no feeling, but it can eat everything. ”

"But...... Gratoni is actually very timid, because at first it doesn't even know what to eat, and only after it is completely attached to someone's body, let that person start to eat, it will start to know what it should do, it is so hungry, and so stupid, it will definitely kill the person it is attached to, and then it will slowly eat that 'person' as well. ”

"However, it's because you can only eat that Gratoni is so powerful~. Without eyes, nose or ears, Gratoni would eat all the qiē and then give birth to piles of little Gratoni for them to eat too. Little Gratoni is much smarter than Gratoni, so they don't eat the boarding body, and then they will be eaten by Gratoni and become a part of Gratoni, and Gratoni will get bigger and bigger. ”

"Well, the more Gratoni eats, the more little Gratoni will be born, and slowly and slowly they will eat everything up, and they will fight to eat, and they will eat each other, and the clever little Gratoni will take everything they can eat, and then let Gratoni eat what they can't eat, and eat more, and eat more, and eat more, and eat more......"

"This ...... It's one of the 'Seven Doomsdays,' the story of the Hunger Doomsday -- do you like it?"

Looking at Angela's malicious "pure smile", Marco felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, swallowed his saliva, and quickly turned his gaze to Edward: "In any case, if you plan to stop Cortez and the Blood Banner Brotherhood, you must kill that monster before it is fully grown and starts laying eggs, eh...... What method should be used?"

"It's very simple, just don't let it eat. Angela smiled happily and snuggled up behind Edward's body.

"So how do you keep it from eating?" asked Edward, looking down and smiling.

"Just burn everything you can eat. Angela tilted her little head.

"That sounds like that...... But is it really possible?" Marco sighed as the corners of his mouth twitched, "A place full of food - Cortez will definitely take that thing...... The Gratoni had taken to the granary of Pipe Town, where it was secluded enough and full of mountains of food—barley, wheat, dried meat, and sausages—Pipe Town, the most important grain transfer point in Turin, where the streets of the eastern city to the north were counting on bread to fill their stomachs. ”

"He's going to have men there, but not all of them, and the rest of the Brotherhood will definitely be in the streets of town, and if there's any panic, they'll come out and set the whole Pipe Town on fire and turn it to ashes. ”

"They're kind to hear you say that. Edward pouted, "At least Gratoni won't spread to other places because of this." ”

"Yes, for the villages around Turin and Pipe Town, it saved them, but for the people of Pipe Town, it kills them. Marco smiled and nodded: "We should all try to be as fast as possible, time waits for no one!"

"That's right, time waits for no one. Looking at Pipe Town not far away, Edward looked deeply at the silver-haired wizard, "I think I should have asked you why you knew everything about the Brotherhood of Blood Flags. ”

"I know very well why I know so much about the Brotherhood of Blood Flags. Marco calmed down at the moment: "So we can wait until the dust settles before we talk." ”

"Pipe Town, it's almost there!"
