The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0209 the strange city

Elliat, the only remaining major city in the Morjor Hed Kingdom.

At this time, it has been more than 2 years since the fall of the king's capital. Many refugees who escaped from the country crowded here, hoping that the coalition forces of various countries would come to wipe out the undead and regain their land and homes. However, as great as the hope, there is as great a disappointment. Since the coalition forces failed to evacuate, Elliat has become a city of despair.

Countless refugees with wives and mouths cried and bid farewell to their homeland, and finally resigned to their fate and continued to go south to find living space. For a time, a huge wave of refugees flooded into Thrane Kingdom, which aroused the anger and rejection of Thrane Kingdom, and sent a large number of troops to drive them back.

The hundreds of thousands of refugees are the most helpless. Those aristocrats with some ability and some wealth have spent a lot of money to change their identities to become nobles of the Thrane Kingdom, and started new developments in new lands, while the rest are farmers and free people who ran out empty-handed. .

Many mines and plantations in the surrounding areas have sent housekeepers to recruit strong, brave and healthy women from among the refugees, but reject the young, old, weak, sick and disabled. As a result, all kinds of abandonment and separation of children and children began to be staged in turn, turning the refugee camp outside the city into a hell on earth.

After layers of screening, those who are still living in the refugee camps have nowhere to go, the old people who no one wants, and the skinny and poor children. This place has lost half of its popularity, and there are low and shabby people everywhere. The shack, the ground is full of filthy debris, and the air is filled with a strong rotten smell.

Those who gathered at the gate of Elliott City were all burly men and pretty women, begging desperately to the city guard in front of the small fence, hoping to enter the city to find some food for their hungry children. Something to fill your belly.

Moam, an impatient city guard officer, was annoyed by these refugees. He waved his hand lightly, and a group of well-armored city guards standing behind them rushed towards them with sticks and grinning grinningly. The refugees immediately fled in all directions screaming, pushing and crowding, several women fell to the ground, struggled and cried a few times at first, but soon fell silent, and only after the crowd dispersed, did they reveal their bodies covered with countless big feet. The inhuman body that was stepped on.

"Bah, foul smell!" Moam spat fiercely on the ground, pinched his nose and looked at the refugees shivering in the distance in disgust, slapped the wooden table and shouted angrily: "Get out, get out, don't want to If you die, get out of here!"

The bodies of several dead people were quickly dragged away and thrown into a large pit not far away. There are already dozens of corpses lying here and there, and this is only today's share.

Ever since he became the unlucky city guard, Moam could only bring a group of big soldiers to fight with these refugees at the gate of the city every day. Half a year ago, he could happily pull out some pretty girls from the refugees, and bring them home for fun when he was laid off. Anyway, he only needed a piece of black hard bread to get rid of her. But now, he has lost the slightest interest. Who knows if these filthy guys have any disgusting diseases, if he can't control his second child, he will be thrown out of the city to be with these guys up.

For these refugees, the aristocrats in Elliott City were still interested in giving alms a year ago, and they regularly distributed free food. But Jinshan Yinshan couldn't stand so many people eating for a year, so these guys who were reluctant to leave for a long time finally annoyed the nobles in the city.

Moam felt a little uneasy. He heard people say that recently, there seemed to be cultists preaching among the exiles in and outside the city, and there had been rituals of blood sacrifice to living people. Therefore, the gate control is particularly strict these days, and any unidentified guy must not be allowed to enter the city anymore. The higher-ups even issued an order to send people to completely bulldoze these shantytowns in the near future, and drive these refugees as far away as possible.

"Head, look..." a confidant reminded behind him.

The restless city guard officer Moam hurriedly looked up, only to see a black carriage coming from a distance on the avenue in the distance, it was a two-row carriage pulled by two people.

south?

In order to guard against the refugees here, Thrane in the south has tightly blocked all the roads. How could such a mysterious carriage come from that direction? If it is a nobleman traveling, what about the accompanying guards and mercenaries? These damn refugees dare to do anything now, robbing caravans so that no one dares to come to Elliott to do business. How could they let go of such an obvious fat sheep?

Seeing that the carriage was about to drive to the gate of the city, Moam gave a wink, and the confidant behind him immediately stepped forward with two city guards to stop the carriage.

Before they could ask a few words, the door on the side of the carriage opened, and a majestic female soldier stepped down. The half-body armor on the female warrior is obviously custom-made, it fits very well, and it further accentuates her slender and well-proportioned figure. There is a huge moon wheel hanging from her waist. This special weapon cannot be mastered without a few years of effort. . But the most noticeable thing is a mage badge with a magical aura displayed in the female warrior's hand.

Moam rushed over in two or three steps, brushed away those subordinates, nodded and said, "It turns out that Master Mage is coming, we will let him go immediately!"

Looking back, Moam waved his subordinates to quickly remove the wooden fence blocking the way, seeing that his subordinates were in a hurry, he ran forward and cleared a road into the city.

"Boss, is this necessary? Isn't it a mage, we haven't seen it before, why bother to be so respectful?" The confidant accompanied Moam respectfully watching the carriage drive into the city, and asked in a low voice.

"What do you know?" Moam the city guard straightened his waist, and scolded coldly: "The city has not been peaceful recently. There is a mage coming at this time. Maybe it is the helper invited by the biggest master. No matter where it is It’s not something we can offend, so be respectful. Remember, report normally when the guard changes, say what should be said, and don’t talk nonsense about what should not be said, huh?”

"Understood, understood..." The confidant secretly wiped off a cold sweat, and immediately ran to rearrange the wooden fence, and the refugees from the province sneaked in again.

The carriage entered the city, and the window curtain on one side of the carriage was lifted, revealing the jade face of a beautiful young girl. Seeing the lifeless streets and the panic-stricken pedestrians, Xi Lisi felt bitter and sour slowly surging in her heart, and tears flickered in her beautiful blue eyes.

Li Xun pulled Xi Lisi back to the seat, and comforted her with kind words, then leaned in front of the car window, looked out silently, and couldn't help sneering a few times in his heart.

She was about to go to the Kingdom of Brayland soon, and Siris was worried about her brother, so she asked to stop by to see the new King Hansen who was struggling alone in Elliott City. If he hadn't come here suddenly, how could Li Xun have discovered that the place is already covered with dark clouds and full of blood!

Very weird.

In last year's agreement, the Mage Guild and the Legendary Mage reached an agreement that a Mage Tower would be built here, and a Grand Mage would be permanently stationed here to help the remaining blood of the Morrohede royal family stabilize their dominance here.

If all of this was done, how could Elliott City be allowed to be shrouded in such an evil atmosphere? Others may not be able to see it, but Li Xun, who has been dealing with souls all year round, can tell at a glance that this is simply a city of despair and a capital of resentment. In the gloomy dark clouds in the sky, the tumbling and howling ones are clearly ghosts and grudges who have suffered so much, and somewhere in the city, Li Xun can feel that a more intense gathering point of resentment is slowly forming, which is clearly a spell caster. Performing some evil ritual.

Don't the mages of the Mage Guild care about all this?

The doubts in Li Xun's heart are getting bigger and bigger. As he thought about it, the soul space quietly opened, and 5 ghost killers came out silently. and go.

Xi Lisi was feeling dejected, but suddenly felt the chill around her, and looked up at Li Xun suspiciously. Li Xun just smiled faintly, sat next to her, took her little hand, and explained simply: "The environment here is not right, I sent a few men out to scout the way, you don't have to worry about it."

"Your subordinate?" Siris looked around in confusion, but she didn't notice any difference. She immediately realized that this must be the other party's concealment method, so she didn't ask any more questions, but she was a little more worried about her brother's situation. point.

The carriage moved slowly, and half an hour later, it stopped firmly in front of the palace gate.

The predecessor of this place was the former City Lord's Mansion. Since Prince Hansen ascended the throne and became the new king, this place has been changed into his residence.

Li Xun accompanied Xi Lisi out of the carriage, ignored the guard at the gate who came over, and quietly looked at the gloomy palace in front of him, feeling surprised for a while. If he read it correctly, there was a bloody red light lingering over the palace, which was clearly some kind of special enchantment effect. From the red light, Li Xun could feel the aura of tyranny and chaos.

The most serious problem is that the resentment that Li Xun sensed gathers here!

After all, Xi Lisi is also a level 8 mage. Although she is not as keen and thorough as Li Xun, she is still a little frightened. She secretly used "detection magic" and also saw the mysterious bloody red light above the palace. Li Xun gently shook her little hand, and Siris suppressed the horror that almost screamed, her eyes flickered, showing the uneasiness in her heart.

At this time, You Nu had already reported her identity and showed her mage badge. The guard at the gate immediately turned around and ran into the gate to communicate. A guard led the three people into the palace and walked towards the main house.

This guard was very strange, at least Siris had never seen it before. Just from the horror he showed when he learned the identity of the female mage in front of him, it was worth tasting.

The shock is understandable, but where does the fear come from?
