Chapter 0117: Nock's Idea
"Meet your lord."
Anos stood firm, and old Sean stepped forward to salute.
"No courtesy." Anos waved his hand, "Old Sean, I remember you, tell me what the hell is going on with these villagers. ”
Although Lishana heard a little about it, considering that Lishana was not in the right mood at that time, the baron thought it would be better to ask clearly.
Old Sean sighed and replied, "Well, in fact, the old man doesn't quite know what happened. In the morning, the villagers collapsed the stairs here, injuring many people. Priest Vakarn was invited by Father Lane and Lord Baron to treat the villagers. ”
"Before Pastor Wakarn came, Father Lane was scolded by the villagers when he was resting because he was too tired from the treatment. At that time, I thought it was just that the villagers were ignorant and didn't take it seriously, but just scolded people and ran away. ”
"Later, when Master Carol came to visit the priest, he decided that we should have a banquet, and I went home and thought about what to do."
"So the villagers gathered at my door and said that Magina in the tavern was an evil demon and wanted to burn her. It is even said that Father Ryan was an accomplice of Magina, and deliberately caused the staircase to collapse in order to cheat them out of their money. ”
"They were like they were mad, and they didn't listen to anyone at all. By the time I caught up with them, they had already tricked Pastor Wakarn into cordoning off the tavern. ”
"Okay, Village Chief Sean, you don't need to help me cover it up, I was so stupid, I was deceived by the villagers, and I almost helped the abuse."
Pastor Wakarn interrupted the village chief's words, and his face was bitter: "If this matter can be resolved safely this time, I will ask the church for my guilt." As a clergyman, I'm almost taken advantage of by demons, and I'm so ashamed. ”
"No, Mr. Wakarn, don't say that, if you hadn't intervened to protect the old man, the old man would have been killed by the out-of-control villagers."
Old Sean gratefully defended the pastor.
"Alright, you two don't grind."
Leo impatiently interrupted the hypocrisy between the two.
"Lord Baron, the general story is as the village chief said."
"But in fact, you can see it. These villagers are controlled by an ominous being. ”
"It was already done to the villagers last night, but it was cured by my master, Father Lane. In the morning it did something to Ms. Magina, and we found it too. ”
"I guess we sabotaged its plans twice, and it got angry. Directly bewitched all the villagers and besieged us. ”
"The trouble now is that there are too many villagers, and we can't just kill them. We need more manpower to bring the villagers under control and find out who is manipulating the villagers behind the scenes. Destroy him. ”
"So, Your Excellency, how many retinues have you brought with you this time?"
Leo is a neat and concise illustration of the key. Attracted the attention of Anos.
"I'm Anos Fred, and your Excellency is the Knight of Leo Gareth, it's the first time we've met, and I'm glad to meet you."
Anos gave Leo a knightly salute, and Leo hurriedly replied.
"Leo Gareth, Father Lane's patron knight, has met His Excellency the Baron."
"Call me Fred, Lord Gareth. I can feel that you are strong. ”
Leo's strength was recognized by Anos, so he did not emphasize his baronial status.
Besides, Anos can feel the unique temperament of nobility from Leo.
As a baron, the other party may not be able to see it.
Leo didn't expect that this Anos Fred didn't pay attention to the villagers, but cared about his own strength, which somewhat made Leo speechless.
"Your Excellency Fred, let's get down to business, how many men did you bring?"
Anos scratched his face in embarrassment and sneered, "I brought three followers to harass the villagers. When I saw that they had led the villagers away, I rushed in, and who knew that the villagers had run back again, so I had to jump up. ”
Seeing that the hall was blocked again, and the villagers who had been knocked down by Leo on the ground had already gotten up from the ground and were ready to continue the attack, Leo sighed weakly.
Anos hurriedly explained: "I have already sent someone back to the castle to ask for help, and in just an hour, my clerk will be able to bring my private soldiers over." ”
"I'm afraid we won't be able to wait an hour. The people behind the scenes are impatient! ”
I saw that the villagers downstairs suddenly hugged the pillars downstairs and began to shake.
"Bang Chang Chang Chang~"
The hallway began to shake.
"The tavern can't stay, we have to find a way to break through, otherwise even if the house collapses and can't overwhelm us, the villagers will be stoned to death!"
Anos looked around for a moment, looking to the end of the hallway.
"I can make a hole in the wall at the end of the hallway, and we'll jump from there."
Leo sighed and said, "It's easy to escape, but what next?" Among us, the old, the young, and the tired. I can't outrun this crazy group of villagers. ”
Arnos followed Leo's gaze and saw Magina, who was holding the child in the room, silent, and the faint sound of breathing in his ears.
In disbelief, he walked quickly to Nock's door and looked inside, and saw Nock sleeping soundly.
"This ......"
Arnos pointed to Nock, who was still sleeping, in disbelief, and was speechless for a while.
"That's Father Lane, who has overdrawn his mana to save the villagers. Come to think of it, this is the incident of the villagers being injured by deliberately consuming Father Ryan behind the scenes. We've been calculated by it for a long time. ”
Leo whispered an explanation of why Nock was still sleeping.
After listening to Leo's explanation, Anos couldn't say anything more.
He knew how uncomfortable it was to overdraw mana, and he had also exhausted his physical strength and fighting spirit on the battlefield, and he had to continue fighting in order to survive, that kind of feeling, he didn't want to experience it for the second time in his life.
"Since you can't escape, you can only stop them. If the two of us are there, we should be able to hold the pillar. ”
"It's useless, you can't knock them out completely, they will continue to attack, and we will be exhausted."
"Wouldn't it be nice if they couldn't keep attacking?"
Nock's abrupt voice interjected.
"Father Lane, you're awake."
Pastor Wakarn saw Nok standing in the doorway and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Thank you for saving me regardless of your past suspicions."
Nock waved his hand absently, not caring at all about the other party's age older than himself, and put his hand on the other party's shoulder and patted it.
"No need to thank you, you saved yourself. The fact that you were able to stand up to old Sean when he was in danger and stick to your bottom line shows that you are a good cleric. Our church needs people like you. But in the future, don't be so reckless in doing things, you can't just listen to one side of the word and make judgments, it's easy to be deceived. ”
"Yes! Wakarn was taught. ”
Looking at Nock, who was still in the mood to preach, Leo was speechless, but he was at ease.
He planned to leave the village at the last moment, carrying Nock on his back and directly fighting a bloody way, as for the life and death of the villagers, it had nothing to do with him.
Even if Magina, who had a skin-to-skin relationship with him, he wouldn't care.
"I have seen His Excellency the Priest, in Lower Anos Fred, lord of the village of Tarn."
"Oh, Your Excellency, hello. But now is not the time to say hello. Let's talk about how to solve the current crisis. ”
Anos is a little messy, obviously you yourself preached there for a long time first, why did you come to me and you are not the time to say hello.
"Judging from my observation today, the other party's current onslaught has already eliminated the people you brought with you, Your Excellency the Baron. He is forcing us to flee the present favorable terrain. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that he has laid an ambush all around the outside of the tavern. If we do jump off the building and escape, we will probably jump into his ambush circle. ”
"He? Father: Do you know who is behind the scenes? "Wakarn captures the keyword.
"Let's not mention this first, let's solve the trouble in front of us first."
Instead of answering Wakarn's question, Nok pointed to the villagers rushing up downstairs.
"Since the people behind the scenes want to force us to leave, we have to do the opposite."
"As long as the villagers below are brought down, we will be safe for the time being."
"But Father Priest, how can we bring down the villagers without harming them?" They are my people, and I can't kill them all. ”
Nock smiled and said, "Although my method is a bit cruel, in order to save everyone and the villagers, the small pain and torture is also a test for the villagers by the Holy Lord. ”
"Don't forget, in the morning, the villagers have already faced one death. But aren't they all besieging us now? You two knights, you can completely break the legs of the villagers, and if you break your legs, no matter how crazy they are, they can still crawl and attack us? ”
"If you can really climb, then you will break it with your hands. Although it was a little cruel, at least it saved their lives. When we free up our hands, find out the people behind the scenes, and then treat the villagers, I think they can understand. ”
"You say, 'Is this going to work?'
Looking at the smiling Nock, even Leo felt his scalp tingle, let alone Arnos Fred, who had just met Nock.
Such a sinister idea made Anos quietly move two steps back, trying to keep himself away from the sinister priest.
Old Sean even wondered if Father Lane was communiquing his personal vendetta and taking revenge on the villagers.
But he didn't dare to say it, for fear that he would also be retaliated against.
"That's it! There is no better way to do it right now. ”
Arnos thought about it for a moment, but still made a decision.
There is no way, he is the only one in the audience who is qualified to make this decision. Who made him a lord?
Only if he does this responsibility, can those present dare to act.
"Then let's do it! Don't worry, with me and this pastor, as long as people don't beat them to death, you can rest assured that you will be beaten to death. ”
Nock smiled and said something that made a few people creep.
Leo knew that Nock was very, very angry.
