"There's a living mouth here!"

Francois, who turned over the body, found a dying assailant.

Annan and Michael approached the attackers, who were turned over by Francois. The poor man's features were foaming with pink blood, and his chest was sunken, and it looked like Klein had done it.

"Save me......" The attacker pleaded angrily at Annan, who could not bear it: "I know a lot of ......"

"Who sent you?" Michael asked him.

“…… Wine lady. ”

Michael and Annan looked at each other, and Annan asked puzzledly, "Why did Ms. Wine attack me?" ”

The dying assailant's voice grew slower: "She's going to make you ...... and Orr...... Meadow ...... Contradiction...... Save me...... Please......"

"Ahem...... My Joe ......"

He whispered a name that was precious in his life, and gradually lost his voice, his sunken chest no longer heaving, and his cloudy eyes, which had lost their lustre, reflected the crow on the branch.

It was not the first time Annan had seen a dead man, and the corpses were everywhere, but the remorse and remembrance of the man before his death still touched him.

This is an insignificant episode in someone else's life, and indeed the end of the life of the dead.

"Dust to dust...... Return to the earth......" Annan whispered softly.

Michael and Klein: They walked away for the time being. He thought that Annan would be depressed for a while, but he didn't expect Annan to follow soon.

At the end of the sacrifice, Kadalina tucked the ulna back from her palm to her arm, twisted her wrist to reset the ulna, retrieved her sword as if nothing had happened, and severed the head of the attacker's leader.

When Annan picked up the corpse's head and exposed her neck, she turned her head to look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and asked without looking back, "Isn't the head of a dwarf giant better?" ”

Kadalina's response was accompanied by the terrifying sound of flesh cutting:

"This is my trophy."

Michael frowned and said to Kadalina, who was doing barbarism, "Take the baron's carriage with your booty." ”

Francois, who was retrieving arrows at the edge of the clearing, stopped and shouted, "I'm okay with that. ”

"Are those corpses still useful?" Michael asked again.

Receiving an answer, he followed the custom of a mercenary, but not at all the looting behavior of a mage rummaging through the pockets of the body of the attacker.

It's just that they don't have anything of value, at most they are silver coins and copper coins, and the fireball technique that attacked them is only a magic scroll.

The most valuable thing was the plate armor of the leader of the attackers. Michael told Kadalina to pick it up and throw it on the wagon, and then began to dispose of the body.

Michael pulled out the cloth bag from his magic robe and sprinkled the crystal powder evenly on the corpses of Stephen the dwarf giant and the attacker.

"Desecrate crystals so they don't become undead or corrupted."

Michael explained to Annan, who was looking out at the forest not far away, and then suddenly asked, "Do you believe it?" ”

Annan knew that Michael was not referring to the blasphemy crystal, but the last information revealed by the attackers.

"I don't know ......"

The attackers say that "the wine lady directs" sounds like a lame provocation, but they are just a group of deceived send-offs, i.e., not strong and not determined. If it weren't for the fact that Stephen the dwarf giant had just finished being unprepared, Klein and Kadalina would have been able to deal with them.

There is no reason for these attackers to withhold information for the patrons behind them.

Annan was more inclined to hire them by a man who called himself the Wine Lady......

"Do you have any suggestions?"

"My advice is, don't believe anyone." Michael gave advice to Annan's wise mage: "Whatever Orr ...... That person, or the Wine Lady, or me, Fast, or Victor, no one should fully believe it. ”

"Why?"

"We're not strong enough to escape the influence. Maybe it's profit, maybe it's coercion...... This world is like an ocean, we will always be driven by the vortex involuntarily, and we will hurt you at any time, and only our own strength will not hurt you. ”

"I see."

With the area thoroughly in order, they returned to the carriage on the side of the road.

However, due to the severity of her injuries, Kadalina still got into the mage tower carriage. Under the light of the magic lamp, Annan could clearly see the hideous wounds all over Katarina's body.

"Your ...... Wounds"

"These are symbols of glory...... The great king of men is watching me. Kadalina's voice trembled. The wound was not even treated, but it was no longer bleeding.

"The King of Men?"

"It's better not to find out."

Michael interrupted Annan's curiosity and explained simply: "They claim that the world we live in is a bubble, and there are many bubbles floating in the void outside the world, some inhabited by humans, some inhabited by alien races, some inhabited by demons, insect swarms, and some bubbles are monsters the size of the world. ”

Bubble? Heavenly body?

Annan was a little curious, but Kadalina's miserable appearance made him give up asking questions.

"And what's out of here?"

"It's none of my business." Michael's answer was like a mage's shame. "A mage who doesn't become a legend won't live much longer than an ordinary person, so why should I be curious about a scene that I won't see in my lifetime?"

"Don't all mages yearn for deep space?"

"But what if ants go crazy at the sight of the starry sky exposed in front of them......" Michael said meaningfully.

Back in Breeze, Francois investigates the identity of the attacker and quickly finds clues - along the way, Francois even zeros on the name of the last muttering of the dying attacker: Joyna.

They then found Joyna's residence. Lest their arrival be noticeable, only Francois and Catalina came into contact with that Joyna in disguise.

Ten minutes later, Kadalina returned to the carriage.

"She's damn ......"

"Why?"

"In the face of bullying and cowardice, it is better to die......"

Annan watched Kadalina whisper hatefully, and had a guess.

Knowing that Francois was about to settle Joyna, they left the carriage and went into the courtyard.

Francois's coercive whisper loomed from the room:

"Madam, you don't want your husband to know about you and his brother, do you?"

"He already knew." Opposite Francois, the bruised woman said numbly, "Why do you think he did this to me...... He forced me to please his brother, but he took his anger out on me......"

"Take this bottle of medicine, as long as you ask your husband to take it, he will do what he says...... You'd love to see your husband, who has always ravaged you, crushed by me, right? ”

The woman raised her head, and vengeful scarlet appeared in her bloodshot godless eyes: "What you said is true?" ”

Francois returned to the outside and met Annan's strange gaze.

"What you said is true?"

"Of course not, Lord of the North." Francois explained in horror, "That medicine just makes you sleepy." ”
