Chapter 39: The Past and the Truth

"But why is there such a chaotic surge of magical elements in this place, and the way of existence is also very strange!" Ghost Ugly subconsciously asked, but then his face changed greatly, and a sense of danger suddenly rose in his heart, the old man in front of him looked like an ordinary person, but why could he feel the magic element? If he could really feel it, this old man should also be a magician, but when he first saw him, he was an ordinary person.

The old man didn't seem to feel the change in the aura on the ghost's body, because of the barrier of the mask, so he couldn't see the ghost's expression, so all he could do was answer the ghost's question, "Of course, there will be magic elements here that an ordinary old man like me can feel, after all, this was once the so-called rebel gathering place!"

Hearing the old man's unusual tone, the ghost ugly looked at the old man with bated breath, his cloudy eyes were already full of tears, even if he was holding a cane in his hand, the violent tremor of the old man's body made him look like he was going to fall down at any time.

"Rebels, what is this place?"

"No one remembers the name of this small town, but it was once prosperous, but it is useless to say anything now, all that remains here is ruins. After saying that, the old man sighed, and after a look at the ghost ugly, he was disappointed and was about to turn away, the ghost ugly body stiffened, and he stretched out his hand in vain to say something, but the old man looked at himself, but it was as if he had said a thousand words, so that all his words were like a fish in his throat, the old man faltered, and there was almost nothing to provide a place to live in the sight around the town, the old man walked very slowly, but when the ghost ugly woke up, there was only a vague back left in the ghost ugly's field of vision.

After taking a deep breath, the ghost ugly chased after him quickly, and soon caught up with the old man, and at this time, the ghost ugly saw the old man's residence, a simple shack, and even leaked air everywhere, the ghost ugly wondered in his heart, such a barren place, why did the old man still hold on?

Are you waiting for death? Or is it guarding something? The ghost ugly knew that he couldn't understand the old man's thoughts, and after helping the old man in, the ghost ugly sat outside the shack, the shack was very small, and only one person could stay, after the old man went in, the space inside was almost full, and the ghost ugly was not pretentious, and sat directly outside, it was still early, the temperature was not so low, and there was no possibility of catching a cold while sitting on the ground.

Seeing that the ghost ugly had no intention of leaving, the old man finally opened his mouth, "Young man, what do you want to ask?" The old man's body stiffened, and all movements could only be taken slowly, while the ghost ugly watched outside, without a little anxious appearance, until the old man found a more comfortable position to lie down, and this sentence came out of his mouth.

"What happened in this small town?"

Compared to what he wanted to ask about this place before, Ghost Ugly now cared about the question he had just asked, because he vaguely felt that what happened here had a lot to do with what he wanted to do in the future.

"Of the 3,963 people, only the old man himself survived...... Alas, is this the judgment of God, or the revenge of the devil, the old man can't tell now, and he can't tell...... "After saying this, the old man told the past that happened in this small city.

It was indeed a relatively prosperous city, but Lady Luck did not favor it, and when there was a rebellion in various parts of the empire, this small city was also affected, and a group of nearly 10,000 troops attacked this small city, but this small city was captured without resistance, they deceived the city gates, burned and looted all the way, and completely occupied the small city in less than an hour.

And then the slaughter!

The people of the town were gathered together and executed in the central square of the town, leaving no one behind, men, women, and children......

The blood flowed that day, and the bluestone slabs on the roads of the town were slippery because of the blood, and some soldiers fell down several times because of this, and the wailing and screaming continued all night, and by the next morning, the town had become a purgatory!

As the only survivor of this small town, the old man unfortunately witnessed another war, which is why this small town is what it is today.

"Marshal Pixar?" Ghost Ugly couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the old man's next words. "Yes, it is the three imperial marshals known as the blood wolves of the empire, Your Excellency Pixar, if it weren't for him, there would not be such an empty city. ”

As the old man recounted, the events began to become clearer, and on the fourth day of the slaughter of the town, these inhuman troops received an invitation from the Grim Reaper, and the old man who was locked outside the city gate had to live in his current shack, and it was because of this that he was able to escape.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the army led by Marshal Pixar rushed to a place ten miles outside the small city, there was no nonsense, and there was no persuasion, even the people who came out to negotiate were directly cut off their heads, put the corpse and head together and wrapped in cloth, put them in a trebuchet and were thrown back to the small city, followed by overwhelming magic attacks, and even the forbidden spell magic appeared in the end, but from beginning to end, the old man did not receive the slightest damage, those magic seemed to be deliberately protecting him, all avoided him, and then the small city became like this。

The marshal's army has been gone for a long time, but there is still a surge of magic in the small city, but compared to the beginning, the surging of magic elements in the small city is not as violent as before, at least people can survive for a short time, and the magician can last longer.

That's why Oniug was able to stay in the city for so long.

Ghost Clown nodded to indicate that he understood the general situation, far away in the Ron Empire, he knew through Caleb that Marshal Pixar, who had intersected, took the emperor's orders, and swept away the rebels in various places with lightning speed, and the way to quell the rebellion was to simply use the forbidden spell directly, and in an extreme time the Kotler Empire returned to calm, and then Calle began to march towards the Kotler Empire with the Tenth Guard Legion, after learning that Pixar chose to stand on the opposite side, Calle and the Ghost Clown once had a headache, and every breakthrough was cautious, for fear of disturbing the marshal with the name of the imperial blood wolf。

In fact, now that the Tenth Guards Legion can do this, it is enough to make the two of them proud, but this pride is meaningless, and the more time passes, the more pressure the two of them feel, after all, it is a well-known figure in the entire continent, and fighting with such a person is the most unwise choice, but two people can't choose.

"Hey, boy, don't you think there's a problem with this old man's speech?" Zero's voice directly interrupted Ghost Ugly's distant thoughts, and Ghost Ugly's heart moved and began to recall what the old man in front of him said, but after thinking twice, Ghost Ugly didn't find anything wrong, but Zero was very sure, Ghost Ugly had to give up helplessly, waiting for Zero to give an answer.

"This old man said that the city gate was opened by deception, I think there is something wrong with this sentence, besides, he himself doesn't know why magic will avoid him? Isn't this sentence the biggest problem? Even if the magician of the Kotler Empire really has more control than you and I can imagine, but if he can completely dodge it, there is a problem to think, right?" Zero had to say something, but the ghost had already asked directly.

"Old man, what is the identity of those rebels, why can they enter the city directly, logically speaking, this should be unlikely to be realized, right? After all, they are rebels, and they are all people with weapons......" The ghost ugly did not continue, but the question had already been conveyed to the old man, and when the old man heard the ghost ugly's words, the little flesh on his face began to twitch, obviously this sentence made his heart move so much that he could not effectively control his body.

"They...... They are...... Templar Legion!" The old man's face was full of remorse, and the ghost ugly was shocked when he heard this result, how could this be?

"They entered the town in the name of counterinsurgency and forced us to hand over our belongings, and the people of the town were happy to give their little bit to God's army, but they asked for so much that some people rebelled, and that was the beginning of the massacre. After speaking, the old man's eyes became a little red, two lines of turbid tears slipped down his cheeks, and the ghost was also a heart jam after hearing it, he thought that the Temple Legion was just a hostile force, but now it seems that what he thinks is too naïve, the existence of such a legion is one of the roots of the inability of the Kotler Empire to develop benignly, and the existence of this legion is also a nasty stumbling block on the way forward for him and Kahler.

Treat this kind of stone, either remove or crush, there is no other way, it is absolutely impossible to go around!

After strengthening his faith, the ghost ugly began to pay attention to another question, since the old man knew the past and the truth of the matter, it was enough to show that he was from this small town, but why was the whole town slaughtered, but only he survived, and what role did he play in this matter? Why did the Temple Legion leave him alone, and why did Pixar's army do the same?

Feeling the ghost's puzzled movements, the old man sighed and said, "I am the one who was deceived, I am the one who opened the city gate, and I am the one who saw the men, women and children in the city slaughtered with my own eyes...... In the end, I am the one who will repent, and this is the retribution I deserve!"

The ghost couldn't help but take a long breath, but the old man's response was only a sigh.

"That's right, I'm the lord of this small city......"
