Chapter 526: Inside the City
ps:
P.S. I'm really sorry for the past two days, I didn't expect my health to be so bad, I really can't hold on. But I'll make adjustments next, thank you for your understanding.
Outside the familiar small city, there is an almost unfamiliar feeling in the trance.
Ivan remembered that when he left the town, there was a clear autumn landscape outside the city, and the hustle and bustle of people in the streets of the city was so vibrant, but when he returned, only the dark twilight suppressed the wreckage.
The stone pavement was littered with vehicles that had turned to scrap metal, the lights in the city were like panicked eyes, and up and down the city walls, glowing magic crystal cannons radiated the brilliance of magic. The verdant earth was burned black, and the distant woods and the nearby farms were all looted by the disaster, and the woods were faintly flickering with fire.
Ivan looked silently, as if something had suddenly disappeared, and a long-lost feeling of emptiness gradually filled his chest.
The sound of Aisha taking a deep breath was heard beside her. At such times—like the day he and Aisha first met—Aisha was the first to compose. She tugged at Ivan, "Let's go, let's go to the city." ”
Clerk Joey held up a magic crystal lamp that was small enough to fit in his pocket, and the flickering light was obviously a signal of a human being. Suddenly, a church army with lamps came towards them from under the city walls. In the air, a bird-like black-boned monster flew by, and was instantly burned into ashes by the brilliant brilliance of the magic crystal lamp.
Abominable monsters...... Ivan still had a pimple in his heart, other than that. He never seemed to be so disgusted with these mindless things flying around. Suddenly, the familiar sound sounded like thunder, and he froze for a moment.
"Ivan, are you alright?"
The figure that flew around him grabbed him, and Ivan felt as if he had been hit in the chest by a boulder, but he did not fall backwards, because the man strangled him by the ribs with his strong, powerful arms. The air in his lungs was squeezed out. His mind went blank for a moment, and he hurriedly pushed away the man who had hugged him.
"Let it go...... You, what are you doing, how can I be here just now?"
Ivan took a step back, staring at his father in amazement and annoyance. What John looked like...... It can't be described as "very good" at all, the already untidy hair is even more messy, a handful of sweat and dirt are stuck together, and a leather coat is also shabby, stained black. Ivan subconsciously gasped. His eyes unconsciously looked at John's whole body.
He's not hurt, right......
"Oh, yes. You're over there in Adrian......" John scratched at his hair. Then, as if he suddenly realized something, his eyes widened.
"Hey, why are you back?Miss Elsa Jean?" John stared at the men he knew in turn.
"No way, it's the task of the executor, to be exact. It's your son's mission, Mr. John. Xiulin showed a comforting smile, although her tone was still a little joking, her expression was as gentle as a big sister. John continued to stare at Ivan dumbfounded, as if wondering if he was dreaming.
"Mistress Laxisis asked me to come. Ivan looked away. Straightened his collar unnaturally, his clothes were dirty. Soaked in dirty seawater. John also seems to have just made himself dirty, and he didn't get hurt.
"Ra, Lord Laxis Flotica, oh, oh, she-"
John stumbled for some reason, his eyes flickered, and then the sparkle of hope ignited like a flame. He looked behind the crowd, as if wishing he could see an elegant woman in the darkness.
"Mr. John, the city of Idgraxiu should have received the news, no matter how stubborn the church is, they also understand that they can't deal with the demons alone. ”
The perceptive Xiulin quickly guessed John's thoughts, and she shrugged her shoulders and walked over to John.
"Although Lord Flotica did not come, however, when the troubles in the Anglo region are resolved, I believe that the kind Lord Holy Magister will not let go of Ivan and Aisha as obedient children. ”
"Yes, yes, that's it. Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a little dull, Joey hurriedly interjected, and comforted John with Xiulin, "The Anglo region has also been attacked by demons, so they have to solve the plight of the alliance's direct region first...... What's going on in the city? Haven't the monsters decreased? What about the demons?"
"We didn't find the demon. Behind John, a man who appeared to be a Templar of the Church stretched his face, "It's possible that the demons are deliberately delaying time, this is a tactic of theirs. ”
"Well, hehe, after all, Messiah Island is not the target of the demons at all. Xiulin nodded approvingly, she raised her finger, tapped her lips, and looked up at John.
"So, you probably know where the demon is, and does Miss Leah Rheinwhite make any important discoveries?"
In an instant, the commotion of surprise swept through the crowd like a cold wind, and Xiulin pursed her lips and smiled, not wanting to delay her explanation. Since the people in the church said that "I didn't find that demon", then I went to find it, and Joey also said before that Leah had some ideas. If there is no goal at all, when there are so many monsters that will attack humans at any time, who will go out of the city to find it? The demons may not be on the island at all, or they may be in the sea?
"Well, Miss Joan is still so good. John scratched his head again, turned around, and introduced the Templar in silver light armor, "She's Miss Showlyn Joan, an experienced enforcer of our Wizard Alliance, this is ......"
John turned and glanced at Ivan.
"It's Ivan Yafir. Joey introduced it in the most concise way. But the most concise introduction was sufficient, for soon there was a commotion in the crowd that was even louder than before.
"Ah, yes, you may be tired, but I think it's better to go to the infirmary and see Miss Reinwhite, who works there. ”
John smirked and continued to scratch his head. He pointed to the half-open gate, and the Church Army immediately moved out of the way, as if escorting important people. They immediately hurried towards the city gates.
Inside and outside the city gates were mostly church troops stationed in the small town.
Ivan also saw some magicians he didn't know, and stayed with the church army, and felt a little more settled. That's right, here on Messiah Island, there are also magicians guarding people.
They took a horse-drawn carriage and rushed to the largest medical clinic in Joshua's town, "Lino Clinic", which was full of makeshift tents all the way, and the town of Joshua suddenly became so crowded that the strange and panicked feeling could not be suppressed in Ivan's chest. Are these all people who fled into the city to escape the monsters?
It's not the worst, and it's definitely not much better.
This is the reality they have to face now.
