Wizard From Afar - Chapter 1186
When Isaac and Lucian advance towards the gloven hills, they persuade the fruitless little wizard and Vera, the night watchman, to retreat towards the gloven gate with the refugees.
“… we are very grateful to you for your help, really… As the first tutor of the Royal wizard college, I, gray Sal, am very ashamed, because we can’t give anything to thank you except gratitude.”
“Since the appearance of that huge vortex, we have insisted… Ha ha, we don’t know how long it took. The only clock tower was destroyed when the body of the evil God appeared.”
“We can appear at this time and are willing to lend a helping hand. No matter what it is, we are not qualified to refuse, but!”
“This is the Royal College of witches. It was established by his majesty Brandon I, the sixth generation ‘Sage’, under great pressure. It belongs to witches and the holy land of alchemists. It is the proof that the wizard world has been recognized and entered the house for the first time after hundreds of years of exclusion and discrimination!”
“For the first time, we stepped out of the land of eboden, established colleges in other lands, and had a world belonging to us in DIDU.”
“Such a place cannot be discarded in vain; such a place is worth sacrificing for her.”
“I think… If master corona and the elders of the wizard tower are willing to sacrifice their lives for eboden and the nine pointed star wizard tower, even if I can’t achieve his achievements, I can at least sacrifice for the college that has devoted my life like him.”
“Of course, if any apprentice wants to leave with you, we will not obstruct it; but for those who have decided to stay, please stop persuading them.”
“What’s more, there are a large number of rotten corpse demons in the city. The college opening the ice barrier can attract their attention; with us, your retreat is safer.”
“We will wait here, wait for the dragon who saves the Empire to appear, and witness all demons turn to ashes!”
No matter how desperate the moment is, there will be fools who stick to the last minute for the faith in their hearts.
To be honest, Ayn has a bad impression of gray Sal – from using Loren to staying away from the wizard Academy in the royal court trial, which makes Loren almost fight alone, but secretly provides some help
In the eyes of the little wizard, he and the Royal wizard college behind him are just a group of cowards who are afraid of things. Even at the moment of life and death crisis, they only know to seek help and hide themselves.
After the battle of eboden, we didn’t see these wizards in the imperial capital appear on the battlefield – obviously they fought to protect the base camp of the wizard world. Even the Wizards of Byrne, lottel and East Saxony joined the battlefield sooner or later, but only the Wizards in the imperial capital hid behind the safe city wall
But this time, the coward was willing to stay, stick to the last moment for the college he guarded, and willingly bury her
Ayn, who was in a complicated mood, couldn’t help sighing.
“What’s the matter?”
The night watchwoman on one side asked with concern.
“Nothing, keep moving.” the little wizard with a strong heart turned his head and looked at the messy retreat behind him, turning his eyes to the direction of the city gate: “we still have a long way to go.”
“It’s not always possible to make complaints about it.”
Due to gray Sal’s insistence, almost all the mentors and apprentices of the Royal wizard college decided to stay in the college until the last minute, and few were really willing to leave with them.
With these “Warriors” in front of us, we can imagine what kind of people are willing to leave – fugitive nobles and servants of rich families, small vendors lucky to survive the tide of demons, deacons and clerks at the bottom of the guild… In short, they are active and afraid of death nobles and upper class citizens who are easy to get rich.
As for why there are no ordinary citizens and the bottom poor… The location of the wizard college is very close to the sky palace in the Golovin hill. If an ordinary person can escape from the outermost slum and escape from the pursuit of the body of evil gods and the tide of demons all the way, why doesn’t he just turn his head and run outside the city?
This group of people did not intend to be buried with the wizard college, let alone fight side by side with the wizards who hated or had nothing to do with half a dime in the past; Hiding in the wizard college is just a helpless move. Of course, when the opportunity is in front of us, we have to run away.
Although not make complaints about Willa’s Tucao, but when looking at such a group of faces, they are lucky to be alive. It seems that the people who have fled from the Imperial Palace feel that they are carrying a heavy burden that they can not bear.
Although they and Lucian have cleared a “safe passage” from the gate to the college, it is not absolutely safe – there are dozens of evil god bodies and tens of thousands of rotten corpses on the upper surface of the imperial capital alone!
As for the number of underground sewers and underground passages extending in all directions… The little wizard didn’t even dare to think about it.
Under the dark night sky, the retreating team pulled out an extremely slender queue between the ruined streets, very scattered behind the leader ayin and the red haired night watchman, and moved slowly.
No matter how many times she reminded, keep the formation as close as possible to provide more protection in case of danger, and the group remained unmoved; They just follow in the middle or behind the team, watch around vigilantly, and prepare to escape alone anytime and anywhere.
The other group clings to the back of Ayn and Vera. No matter how they persuade them, they refuse to spread out, as if the only way to bring them a sense of security.
Such a tight and loose escape team without formation; I’m afraid it’s not necessary to really meet the body of evil gods and the tide of evil things. A little movement will disperse birds and animals, and kill each other in order to compete for the road of “running for life”?
Only when we unite in this dangerous place can we have a glimmer of vitality and strive for the possibility of survival; Mutual vigilance and even hostility will only kill everyone.
Ayn is pessimistic about the prospect of a successful retreat.
She finally understood why even at the most difficult moment, gray Sal of the wizard college would rather let the apprentices tired one by one, but insisted on not giving them weapons – what he was afraid of was not that these people killed each other or killed themselves, but that the wave of demons attracted by these people would bring disaster to the fish pond together with the wizard college.
Even if it is just like a small wizard, it can’t help guessing whether gray Sal and the people of the wizard college deliberately let themselves take these people away in case the college will be destroyed in their hands
“Don’t think so much.”
Aware of ayin’s anxiety, Vera patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: “we just have to try our best to protect them and let as many people leave the city alive.”
“But…”
“No, but no one forced you to protect them, and these people didn’t say you wanted to protect them, did they? We don’t have to protect them.”
Looking at ayin who wanted to refute, Vera couldn’t help saying, “we just have to keep our promise and do our part – take them away from the imperial capital, that’s enough.”
Some wronged little wizards blinked, and some couldn’t believe staring at Vera.
“What’s the matter?” the red haired girl didn’t have a good airway.
“No, not much…” Ai Yin quickly shook her head and hesitated: “just, I didn’t expect you to say such words, Vera. Generally, people who say such words are… Yes…”
In her memory, it is generally another night watchman who will have such “within his power” remarks.
“Edward.”
Turning her head, Vera revealed only a small half of her side face to Ayn, as if deliberately avoiding her sight.
“I used to hate that guy.”
“When the eboden night watchman?”
“No, it’s in the gutter lane.” Vera shook her head. “Among eboden’s night watchmen, we knew each other first – Gavin and Ivan later.”
The two wizards who protected Isaac’s sacrifice… Thought the little wizard.
“This guy used to be a villain – he never helped others and never stood up for justice; every time his food was robbed, he would just sit there and spread his hands, saying that he had no way and couldn’t beat others.”
“When I joined the night watchman, it was almost the same. Obviously, he was already a night watchman and still wouldn’t give me a hand – so later I also tried to join the night watchman. At the beginning, I didn’t mean anything else, just wanted to annoy him.”
“In the next few years, the situation was almost the same… It seemed like four or five years since we joined the Holy Blood potion; this guy was never willing to do one more superfluous thing, never do anything extra, and it had nothing to do with himself. He must hang high… In a word, it was very disgusting!”
“But…” the female night watchman with her head down slightly changed her expression: “after so many things, I can understand why he did that.”
“I’m afraid of trouble because I don’t mind my own business, and I’m even more afraid of involving more troubles that I can’t stay out of;”
“He doesn’t do superfluous things because he knows his ability; this guy knows what he can do, what he can’t do, and what he can’t do… Different from me.”
“The most important thing is… Forcing to do things beyond your ability will not make things any better, it will only get worse – just like now.”
“Although I still hate that guy’s habit of staying out, at least Edward is right – if we want to protect all people with our ability, no one will be saved in the end, so…”
Vera turned her head and looked at the shocked Ayn solemnly: “as long as we keep our promise and do our part – take them away from the imperial capital, that’s enough.”
“Because we can’t do anything else – it takes courage to admit the limitations of our abilities!”
The little wizard nodded in amazement.
The next journey was fairly smooth – thanks to a very “hard-working” gray pupil boy, he cleaned up almost all the demon tides encountered along the way, and there was no threat to hinder their retreat.
In addition to the corpses and pieces of rotten corpse demons at their feet, the people walking through the ruins didn’t even meet a “living” monster.
Soon, the fugitives relaxed their vigilance, and the group who had followed the little wizard and the night watchman gradually slowed down, and the longer and longer team became more and more loose, talking and laughing.
If it weren’t for the huge whirlpool above your head and the ruins and rubble under your feet, it would be no different from an outing.
Even some people began to be unwilling to follow the retreating team and leave alone towards other streets that have become ruins – either to take a shortcut or to pick up the luggage and belongings left by the people in front… The original team of nearly 1000 people scattered and became smaller and smaller, leaving less than one-third of the crowd behind the small wizard.
Except for a few wizard apprentices, most of them are women and children who can’t 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 expects that this is right – protecting nearly a thousand people is a burden she can’t imagine. If so many people die in vain because of her wrong decision
Ain, I can’t stand that pain.
She even hoped that she was wrong and that those people would survive by deciding to leave herself – even if it would kill herself and a third of the refugees, at least two-thirds of them would survive.
The city gate was close at hand, and there was nothing to stop them except the ruins and debris. The people behind them even began to cheer happily, hug each other and cry with joy to celebrate that they could leave this hell alive.
Even the little wizard and Vera looked at each other and smiled with a long sigh of tacit understanding.
At this time
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”
The familiar loud noise and vibration made the two stunned turn their eyes to the ground under their feet at the same time.
The next second, the whole ground began to tremble violently, and the neat floor tiles were turned out like dominoes, bouncing back and forth on the ground.
“Boom!”
The bricks and stones overturned, and the flat ground began to collapse downward; Huge tentacles made of bones and flesh broke through the earth and stretched violently.
Soon, it was the second, the third, the fourth… Like magma from the bottom of the earth, sending out a strong stench of blood gushing out of the cracks with the collapsed ground. Washing the ruins full of rubble, dyeing everything in sight black and dark red.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
With another loud noise, the 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 and dust, screams
as one falls.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”
