Shaman from Afar

As Isaac and Lusien advanced in the direction of the hills of Golovin, they persuaded the fruitless little wizard and Vera, the night watchman, to retreat in the direction of the city gate of Golovin with the escaped.

"... we are very grateful for the helping hands you extended, really ... as the first mentor of the Royal Wizards College, I, Gresal, are ashamed, because apart from being grateful, we can't give anything to thank you. . "

"Since the appearance of that huge vortex, we have insisted ... Oh, we don't know how long it has passed, the only bell tower was destroyed when the body of the evil spirit appeared."

"We can show up at this time and are willing to lend a helping hand, no matter what the reason is, we are not qualified to refuse, but!"

"This is the Royal Wizards College, and it is the sixth generation of" Sage "His Majesty Brandon I under great pressure, and it is a holy place for wizards and alchemists. One hundred years of exclusion and discrimination, the first time to be recognized and proved to be in the room! "

"For the first time, we stepped out of the land of Eboden, established an academy in a foreign land, and in the emperor we all had a world of our own."

"Such a place cannot be discarded in vain; such a place deserves to be sacrificed for her by future generations."

"I think ... if Master Corona and a group of wizard tower elders are willing to sacrifice their lives for Eboden and the Nine Stars Wizard Tower; then even if I can't achieve his achievements, at least I can do it for myself like him. Sacrifice for a lifetime of college. "

"Of course, if any apprentice wants to leave with you, we will not hinder; but for those who have decided to stay, please do not persuade."

"What's more, there are a lot of carrion monsters in the city, and the academy that opened the ice barrier can attract their attention; with us, your retreat is safer."

"We will wait here, waiting for the dragon to save the empire to appear, witnessing all the demons turned to ashes!" ...

Even at any moment of despair, there will be stupid people who stick to the last moment for the conviction in their hearts.

To be honest, Ain's impression of Gresal was very bad. From using Loren, to staying away from the Wizarding College in the court trial, Loren was almost alone, but provided some help covertly. ...

In the eyes of the little wizard, he and the Royal Wizard College behind him are a group of timid fears. Even at the juncture of life and death, they only know how to ask for help, and they are timid who hide themselves.

After the battle of Ebdon, I did not see the wizards of these imperial capitals appearing on the battlefield to fight for the protection of the wizarding world. Even the wizards of Bayern, Lotel and East Sakland were too early. Joining the battlefield later, only the wizards of the imperial capital hide behind the safe wall ...

But this time, the coward stayed willingly, insisting on the college he guarded until the last moment, willingly burying her ...

Ai Yin, in a complex mood, couldn't help but sigh.

"what happened?"

Asked the female night watchman with concern.

"It's nothing. Go ahead." The little wizard with a strong tolerance turned his head and looked at the messy retreating team behind his eyes, turning his eyes to the direction of the city gate: "We still have a long way to go."

"It's not necessary to get there." Vera rolled her eyes and couldn't help saying.

Due to Gresal's persistence, almost all the mentors and apprentices of the Royal Wizards College decided to stay in the college, and insisted that until the last minute, there were very few who were really willing to leave with them.

With these "Warriors" in front, what kind of guys are willing to go? It is conceivable that the servants of the noble and rich families who fled, the small merchants who survived the tide of monsters, the deacons of the Great Guild and The clerk at the bottom ... Simply put, it is the nobles who are full of life and afraid of death, and the upper-class citizens who are rich and safe.

As for why there are no ordinary small citizens and the poorest people at the bottom ... The location of the Wizarding Academy is very close to the Sky Dome in the hills of Golovin. If an ordinary person can escape from the outermost slum, he will escape the body and monsters of evil spirits all the way. Why didn't Chao chase him, just turned his head and ran out of the city?

This group of people has no plans to be buried in the Wizarding College, and it is even less likely to fight alongside wizards who are disgusted or have no relationship with the past cents; hiding in the Wizarding College is just a helpless move. Of course, the opportunity is to run in front of you. .

Although he didn't take Vera's vomiting to heart, looking at such a group of people who was full of happiness after the disaster, as if they had fled from the imperial capital, the little wizard felt that he was carrying an unbearable burden. .

Although they and Lucien have cleared a "safe passage" from the gate to the academy, it does not mean that they are absolutely safe. Just above the surface of the imperial capital, there are dozens of evil spirit shells and tens of thousands. The carrion devil!

As for how many underground sewers and underground passages there are ... The little wizard dare not even think about it.

Under the dark night sky, the retreating team dragged out an extremely slender queue between the ruined streets, and scattered behind the leader Ain and the red-haired night watchman, slowly moving.

No matter how many times she reminds, try to keep the formation close and provide more protection in case of danger. This group of people is still unmoved; they just follow the middle or back of the team not too far away, vigilant Observe the surroundings, ready to escape alone anytime, anywhere.

The other group of people were close to Ain and Vera, no matter what the two advised, they would not spread them apart, as if this was the only way to bring them a sense of security.

This is a tight and loose team with no form of escape; I am afraid that you will never need to meet the body of the evil **** and the tide of monsters. If you move a little, you will be scattered as birds and beasts. Let ’s fight for the road of "escape" and kill each other. ?

It is only in this dangerous place that there is a chance to unite and fight for the possibility of survival; mutual vigilance and even hostility will only make everyone die.

Ayn is very pessimistic about the prospect of a successful retreat.

She finally understood why even at the most difficult time, Gresal of the Wizarding College would rather let the apprentices get tired one by one, still insisting on not giving these people weapons. He was not afraid that these people would kill each other or kill themselves. The tide of monsters attracted by this group of people will bring the Wizarding Academy to the fish pond.

Even a simple wizard like a small man can't help but speculate that the people of Gresal and the Wizarding College deliberately let themselves be taken away by this group, in case the college will be destroyed in their hands ... …

"Don't think so much."

Vela, aware of Ain ’s worries, patted her on the shoulder and comforted: “We just need to protect them as much as possible and let as many people as possible leave the city alive.”

"but……"

"No, no one is forcing you to protect them, and this group of people hasn't said that you are going to protect them, is it? We have no responsibility to protect them."

Looking at Ayin who wanted to refute, Vera couldn't help but say: "As long as we keep our promises and do our best to take them away from the Imperial Capital, that's enough."

Some wronged little wizards blinked, and some stared at Vera in disbelief.

"What's wrong?" The red-haired girl didn't have a good airway.

"No, nothing ..." Ayin shook her head quickly, vomiting: "Just, I didn't expect Vera that you would say such a thing. Generally, people who say such things are ... yes ..."

In her memory, another night watchman usually has this kind of "power" speech.

"Edward."

Turning her head, Vera exposed only half of her side face to Ain, as if deliberately avoiding her sight.

"I used to hate that guy before."

"When the night watchman in Ebden?"

"No, it's when they are in the ditch lane." Vera shook her head. "Of the night watchmen in Ebden, we are the first and later known Jiawen and Ivan."

It's the two wizards who protect Isaac's sacrifice ... the little wizard thought.

"This guy used to be a bad breed and never refused to help others. He had never been justified; every time he was robbed of food, he would only sit there and spread his hands, saying that he had no way to beat others."

"It was about the same when I joined the night watchman. He was obviously already a night watchman, and he still refused to pull me. So I also tried to join the night watchman at the beginning. I didn't mean anything at the beginning.

"The situation is similar in the next few years ... From the time we joined the Holy Blood Elixir, it seems to be the situation of four or five years; this guy never willing to do an extra thing, absolutely never do anything extra, It's none of your own, it must hang high ... all in all, it's very disgusting! "

"But ..." The female night watchman with his head down, his expression slightly changed: "After so many things, I can understand a little bit why he did that."

"Don't like to be idle is afraid of trouble, and even more afraid of involving more trouble that you can't stay outside;"

"Don't do redundant things because he knows his range of abilities; this guy knows what he can and cannot do, and what he can't do ... different from me."

"The most important thing is ... Forcing to do something beyond your ability will not make things better, it will only get worse as it is now."

"Although I still hate that guy's habit of staying out of business, at least this is Edward's right. With our ability, if we want to protect all people, in the end, no one can save, so ..."

Vera turned her head and solemnly looked at Ai Yin who was shocked: "As long as we keep our promises and do what we can to take them away from the Imperial Capital, that's enough."

"Because otherwise, we can do nothing to admit the limitations of our abilities, and it takes courage!"

The little wizard nodded stunnedly.

The following journey was smooth, thanks to a very "industrious" gray pupil who almost cleaned up all the monster waves along the way, and there was no threat to hinder their retreat.

Except for the corpses under the feet and the debris of the carrion demon, a group of people walking through the ruins did not even meet a "living" monster.

Soon, the fugitives eased their vigilance, and the group of people who immediately followed the little wizard and the night watchman gradually slowed down, and the longer and longer the team became more and more loose, talking and laughing .

If it weren't for the huge vortex above the head and the rubble at the foot, it would be no different from an outing.

Some people even began to be reluctant to follow the retreating team and left alone to other ruined streets, either to cut corners, or to pick up the luggage and belongings left by the people in front ... The original team of nearly 1,000 people was scattered. , Getting smaller and smaller, leaving less than a third of the sea behind the little wizard.

Except for a very small number of wizard apprentices, most of them are women and children who cannot escape alone.

The little wizard did not persuade those who left.

In addition to Vera ’s words and the rest of the people need more protection, she also vaguely looks forward to doing so to protect nearly a thousand people is a burden that she ca n’t imagine, if she decides to let so many people die in vain because of her own mistakes ...

Ain, can't bear the pain.

She even hoped that she was wrong, that those people would survive by deciding to leave themselves. Even if this would kill herself and one third of the refugees, at least two thirds would survive.

The city gate was already in front of us, and there was nothing to block them except the ruins and ruins. The people behind had even started to cheer happily, hugging each other and weeping with joy, celebrating their ability to leave this **** alive.

Even the small wizard and Vera glanced at each other, and the tacit smile breathed out a smile.

At this moment ...

"boom!!!!"

The familiar loud noises and vibrations caused the two in confusion to turn their eyes to the ground under their feet.

The next second ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ The whole ground began to tremble violently, and the neat floor tiles were shaken out like dominoes and "jumped" back and forth on the ground.

"Boom!"

The masonry was overturned, and the flat ground fell into pieces, and the tentacles piled up with bones and flesh fleshed out and stretched out violently.

Soon, it was the second one, the third one, the fourth one ... Like the magma squirting from the ground, the blood smelled strong and foul, flowing out of the cracks along with the collapsed ground. Washing the ruins full of rubble, dyeing everything in sight to a dark, dark red.

"boom!!!!"

There was another loud noise, and the magnificent and magnificent Imperial City Gate was finally overwhelmed and collapsed with the sinking ground; in a terrible sound, it slapped heavily on the ground.

In the scattered smoke, screaming ...

One after another.

"boom!!!!"
