Blake Town, a remote town 160 kilometres southwest of Nikz Doha, is home to 19 villages.

Unlike the busy traffic of Rosstown, there are few adventurers on the streets of Blacktown on weekdays, and most of the vendors are from the surrounding villages, and the streets of this remote town are bustling with people only on a ten-day market day.

However, in the last two days, the liveliness of Blacktown has risen rapidly among dozens of towns around Nicz in Doha, even compared to Rosstown.

Small hotels, B&Bs and even the streets, whenever there is a free place, are all crowded with villagers from 19 or no, 18 villages in the surrounding area. Because just two days ago, Longyu Village in 19 villages has completely become history, and all 203 people in the village have been killed by a crazy devil.

A brave man from a neighboring village went to see it, and the sight of purgatory on earth was so frightened that the villager crawled back to the village, still muttering "Devil!

At this time, the people in the neighboring villages also began to be afraid, afraid that they would also suffer the bad luck of Longyu Village. So the people of the village came to Blake Town for refuge with their families. The news spread more and more, but within a day's work, all the remaining 18 villages had taken refuge in Blacktown.

The few merchants in Blacktown were happy, and the influx of a large number of villagers meant the arrival of a large amount of wealth, and the merchants were gearing up one by one, finally looking forward to such an opportunity, and this time even the gods did not want to prevent them from making a fortune.

Unlike the merchants, whose eyes have turned into gold coins, the guards of Blacktown are having a headache and want to scold their mother at the moment. The small town of Black was crowded into nearly 10,000 people at once, and the resulting law and order problems were not at all solved by these dozens of people.

As a last resort, these usually lazy and lazy guards could only helplessly put on the torn armor, pick up the rusty spear, and see where there was a contradiction.

"Captain, I knew you were here, go down and take care of it, these mobs are about to turn the town over. ”

Sestin, the captain of the Blacktown Guard, has reached the absolute level of two-star combat in his own right. In terms of strength, on the surface, he is definitely the undoubted first person in Blacktown, but he is too lazy and does everything slowly, otherwise the members of the escort team may not be so unbearable. At this moment, he was lazily leaning on the roof of the tallest building in the town, the bell tower, plucking his ears and listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Calm, calm, isn't it that you haven't lifted it yet, and then you can talk about it when you turn it over, you have to go to the mayor first if you have something, and if the mayor has any orders, you can tell me." I'll go back to sleep first, I only slept for twelve hours last night, and I'm sleepy, ha~~"

Sestin stretched out after speaking, and really fell asleep like this.

"Looking for the mayor, that monster who only knows how to eat and eat?" The guards shuddered at the thought of the mayor.

"The captain obviously loves Blake very much, why don't you just overthrow that monster and become the mayor yourself, but still help that monster do things, if the captain is the mayor, Blake will be at least ten times better than now, no, a hundred times!"

The team member who came to report shook his head helplessly and left, knowing that if he fell asleep, even if the sky fell, he would not be able to wake him up.

......

On the other side, the four of them had already arrived at Longyu Village. The once quiet mountain village has now become a dead land, the houses and buildings are not damaged in the slightest, and the waterwheel in the small river at the entrance of the village is still turning dutifully, but the whole village is like a ghost town that has been dilapidated for decades, and there is not the slightest sense of vitality.

"Let's go, go in and have a look. ”

Augustus was at the forefront, pushing open the nearest farmhouse. The furnishings in the farmhouse are very basic, there are almost no decent furniture, and when you enter the room, you will find the bedroom.

The bedroom was dimly lit, except for a hole in the wall for ventilation, barely leaking a little sunlight into the bed in the bedroom, which was only a thin quilt that seemed to be hiding something under it.

Augustus lifted the covers.

Wow

An old man who had lost his life, his mouth wide open, his gray eyes staring at the four of them. The old man's pupils contracted sharply, almost becoming a black spot, a pair of dry palms scratched his face, the upper half of his body shrunk into a ball, and the lower half of his body was twisted into a strange "Z" shape, like a terrifying doll that would bounce up at any time.

"Let's go, let's go to the next room. ”

Augustus grimaced, put the quilt over the old man, and walked to the next farmhouse.

......

The information was not wrong, and the entire Longyu Village was not spared, whether it was people or livestock, as long as it was a living thing, all died in an extremely distorted posture. And the time of the murderer's attack should be in the middle of the night, because almost everyone died in the bedroom, which was also confirmed by the mouths of the two members of the Shiban team who arrived first.

"Obviously, these people were killed by mages who were proficient in dark magic or by dark emperors. What the hell is that damn bastard going to do something to these innocent civilians!"

"Augustus, could it be fifty years ago......"

"No! Absolutely impossible, that guy has already been killed by me!"

"I mean, could it be his descendants or heirs. ”

Sawn glanced at Augustus with some confusion, the captain's reaction was a little too intense, who was that man fifty years ago, what happened between him and the captain, why was Augustus so excited at the mention of him?

Of course, what made Solo even more puzzled was Gillenst beside him, because he was so calm. No matter how hideous the faces of the dead were, he didn't even have any mood swings. Is it because of the cultivation of the dark attribute? Solo could only think of this one reason that could barely convince him.

"Captain, because of the tragedy in Longyu Village, all the people in the nearby villages have taken refuge in the nearest town of Black, if you can, you better go there and calm the scared villagers. ”

"Okay, let's go right away!"

Augustus didn't procrastinate either, and decided to go straight to Blacktown. Now that things have happened, the most important thing is to calm the restless people. As for the murderer, after going back, he will send major law enforcement teams to search with all his might, and then spend a lot of money to offer a reward, I believe that clues can always be found.

"Saw, aren't you going to Blacktown to have a look?"

Old Buck couldn't help but ask, seeing that Soo was left behind.

"Ah, Patriarch Buck, go first, I'll chase after you at once, my shoelaces seem to be loose. ”

As he spoke, Soy really squatted down and fiddled with his shoelaces, and Old Buck didn't think too much about it, and told Solo to be careful before leaving.

"Isn't peek-a-boo fun? ”

Sawo stood up and shouted into some dark corner in the distance.

From this point on, Sawn has always felt a vague gaze staring at him, thanks to the skyrocketing power of his soul on Optimus Island, so even if the other party avoided Augustus and the others, he did not avoid his own detection.
