Dawn of the Ash Tower

Chapter 19 Trading


Devils and devils are different.Although the two seem similar, in fact they are completely different existences.Of course, for ordinary people, no matter which one of the two is seen, it is a complete disaster.Looking at Mayor Bender, who lost more than ten years of life in an instant, everyone present felt a chill rise from behind.Cheese knows how dangerous the devil is, but it is actually very difficult to meet these guys.The number of devils wandering in this world is very large, so he felt that there must be a connection between the devils that appeared at this point in time and the magical plague in the earldom.

"Can you tell me in detail how you became like this?" the mage asked.

Although he was dubious about Cheese's words, but based on his own experience, Mayor Bender vaguely felt that the possibility of encountering a devil did exist.So he didn't hide anything, and told the whole story.

According to the mayor's description, this incident can be traced back to a year ago.At first, it was the people in the town who started to complain to the city hall, saying that a suspicious person had been in contact with the children in the town recently, and those children had repeatedly mentioned a man in gray clothes in conversations with their family members. mask man in robe.The eccentric guy often picks up the kids who are alone, sometimes asking them questions and sometimes asking about their troubles.As for the children who have talked with this weird masked man, their words and deeds will more or less change, and what's more, it can be said that their temperament has changed drastically.The abnormality of the children made the residents of the small town feel worried. The parents of the children have searched for the so-called "Mr. It seems that his existence is just a joke played by the children of the whole town.But the impact of the incident did not stop. Even though the parents prohibited their children from going out, those children still said that they were visited by "Mr. Smile". The strange thing is that some of their parents were in the living room next door when they were visited. or room, and they can guarantee that no one enters their house.Panic led the parents to turn to City Hall, where they hoped the mayor would come forward to find the so-called "Mr. Smile" and evict him from town.

Mayor Bender has managed the town for nearly ten years. He clearly realized that this incident had never happened before in the history of Tianshui Town, so he dispatched almost all the guards to search Tianshui Town based on his experience. They checked the list of people who have recently entered and exited, and ambushed in the grassland by the lake where the children often go, but they found nothing.The mayor is as bewildered as everyone else in Sweetwater.

The cheese nodded slightly when he heard this, and he said.

"Devils are invisible to ordinary people. They are like ghosts or ghosts. Only children who are sensitive to nature and pure in heart can see them directly. To appear in front of adults is to break this Some rules of the world, that will cost them dearly."

The mayor approved of the mage's words, because the next development of the matter seemed to confirm the "price" that Cheese said.Accidents began to happen to children, at first when a child was found drowned in a well, and the town mourned it, but regarded it as an unintentional lapse in play.But then another child was found hanged in mid-air by coiled vines from a tree, apparently because he slipped while climbing a tree and caught his head in the vines.These two accidents made the atmosphere in Sweetwater even more serious.Parents banned their children from going out, and they locked their children in the house, thinking that this would ensure their safety.But the horror didn't let them go. The third child died from uncollected knives, and the fourth child died from an accidental fire in the kitchen. However, his parents didn't know why the child went to the kitchen.Panic is like an invisible hand, strangling the necks of every child in Tianshui Town.Just when everyone thought there would be a fifth dead child, everything stopped.The kids no longer claim they saw "Mr. Smile" and no kids get hurt anymore, as if it's all over.In fact, this is all that all the residents of Sweetwater Town know so far. They can only attribute these to four accidents that happen to happen.Only Mayor Bender knows that the children's deaths are not what they appear to be.Because on the third day after the death of the fourth child, the "Mr. Smiling" approached the mayor.

"I was sorting out the documents in the study that night, and when I looked up, I saw that guy." Mayor Bender said.

"He was wearing a gray robe with a smiley mask on his face, I think that's why the kids called him Mr Smile."

"Mr. Smile" spoke to the mayor, his voice was very pleasant, and his words were very polite, just like an educated nobleman.First of all, he expressed his condolences to the children who died, and said that there was no way to do it, because he had to see the mayor, so the death of the children was the price he had to pay, and this was to save more lives .

"Nonsense." Elsa frowned softly.In her opinion, no matter how legitimate the reasons are, sacrificing the lives of those children is an extremely evil act.And others agree with her.

The mayor continued to narrate that although he was as angry at the behavior of the masked man as the proprietress is now, what the other party said next temporarily made him forget about it.

"You mean, he predicted the plague?" Cheese summed up the mayor's words.

"No, to be precise, he predicted the plague and everything that happened in the entire county in the week after that day." Mayor Bender said.

"Mr. Smile" claimed that he came here with good intentions to save the people of Sweetwater Town from the plague.Of course, the mayor at that time naturally didn't believe the nonsense of the masked man, but after "Mr. Smile" finished making these ridiculous predictions, he disappeared in a puff of black smoke, and the mayor had nothing to do with him. .In the next few days, the prophecy of the masked man was gradually fulfilled, ranging from the implementation of a certain decree of the earl to the exact delivery of a certain wild dog in Tianshui Town, but this did not convince the mayor of his plan. Nonsense, just think that the masked man planned all of this.

Then, when the first week was over, "Mr. Smile" appeared before the mayor again, and as before, he predicted the plague and the events of the next week, this time, he declared that he still had a lot of work to do , can't stay in Sweetwater Town for too long, although he understands Bender's anger and distrust, but he hopes that the mayor can accept his suggestion sooner.Of course, Mayor Bender still didn't respond to him.
