my age of magic

Chapter 482. Humanity in the Darkness

The stories in Ann's memory are very messy...

Living a carefree life in the Zimmerman Manor, although I will be happy or sad about some trivial things every day, I will lose my temper with my sister Demi because of a cheese candy, and I will complain to my mother Jenny that I can’t play in the garden Snow, but every day like this, An is very happy.

Ann likes to hear some veterans who came back from the battlefield talk about things in the army, about the battles of knights, or the magic of magicians.

He adores his father. His father, Earl Zimmerman, is a great knight of the fifteenth rank. He has many followers and retinues around him, and he looks so majestic.He even heard from other town residents in the small town of Maas that in the small town of Maas, Earl Zimmermann is the king here.He has also heard the companions and servants around him discuss in private that all the glory will belong to him in the future, because his surname is Zimmerman, and he is the only son of the current Earl Zimmerman.

Then, the thing in his memory became that a large number of barbarians besieged the manor, and his father, Earl Zimmerman, led the followers in the manor to fight up, until Earl Zimmerman appeared in his room covered in blood. in the bedroom.There was a sharp long sword stuck in his back, which was inserted by some enemy, and the plasma gushed out of his mouth, his appearance frightened Ann, and he staggered He rushed to Ann's bedside and hugged Ann in his arms.

Earl Zimmerman knelt on the carpet on one knee, the strong smell of blood on his body made the food in An's stomach keep pouring up. He tried to break free from his father's embrace, but failed.

Every breath affected the wound, making Earl Zimmerman weaker and weaker. The countess behind her turned pale, and ordered the entourage guarding the door to pull out the long sword on the earl's back and bandage the wound as soon as possible.

The earl hugged Ann who was crying bitterly, and looked a little sad under his bitter smile. He said, "Don't draw your sword, at least you can live a little longer."

Earl Zimmerman looked at his wife lovingly, his sad eyes showed so much reluctance to this world, he said to his wife, Mrs. Jeanne: "Time is running out, go to the place I told you in advance. Hide."

Madam Jenny cried bitterly, even knelt down and hugged Earl Zimmerman's thigh, begging, "Hide together, for my sake and for Ann's sake, please!"

Earl Zimmerman held a storm sword and said proudly with a smile on his face: "As a knight of the Grimm Empire, the only real glory is to die on the battlefield. How can the imperial soldiers hide in the caves?" Let's be a coward."

Earl Zimmerman then walked away without looking back. Every step he took was strenuous, and the sword wound made him take great courage every step he took.

Let the personal followers protect his wife and daughter and hide in the wine cellar. In this way, Earl Zimmermann died vigorously in the battle with the barbarians.

In fact, the story should have ended here. The entourage who stayed behind followed the order of the Earl, and sent a dozen of the Earl's closest female relatives in the manor to the wine cellar for refuge.But unexpectedly, four servants from the manor hid in the wine cellar in the chaos. They were the groom, the gardener, the winemaker, and the cook in the manor.

The entourage did not talk nonsense, and directly invited them out of the wine cellar with a spear.

No one thought that these four servants in the manor would take advantage of the winemaker's convenience and hide in the wine cellar to drink, but they never thought that when the battle reached the most critical moment, the earl prepared for his family to escape The road is also hiding in this wine cellar.

In front of their personal followers, they begged bitterly: "The wine cellar is so big, please give us a place for the four of us, just wait for those barbarians to retreat, we will leave when we are safe, we have almost nothing to eat , if there is no food, you don’t even have to eat, just please don’t drive us out!”

"If you go out at this time, you can only be taken away by those barbarians as miners. Let them stay! The wine cellar is so big, why bother them!" Countess Jenny said to the servant.

The servant hesitated for a moment, then followed the Countess' idea, let the four servants go, and let them stay in the wine cellar.

The personal entourage signed the "master-servant contract" with Earl Zimmerman, so when Earl Zimmerman died, the entourage was also silent under the influence of the "power of the contract" died in the wine cellar.

The matter did not end here, and this moment happened to be the beginning of the nightmare.

The four servants who hid together in the wine cellar were very respectful to Countess Jenny, daughters Demi and An in the beginning.

But later, when the four servants found out that the servant was dead, and none of the dozen or so female relatives had combat experience.After one night, the four of them showed their sinful fangs, fully showing the ugliest side of human nature, and they became the most powerful people in the wine cellar.

They beat disobedient women and locked them up. They also completely controlled the food in the wine cellar and even planned to kill Ann.

Before they could take action, the barbarians outside set fire to the castle in the manor. They were worried that the fire would spread in and ignite tens of thousands of wine barrels in the wine cellar, so they completely destroyed the four exits of the basement in a hurry , sealed the entire basement.

Sister Demi risked her life to let Ann go.

Therefore, Ancai took advantage of the darkness in the wine cellar to hide in the crevices of wine barrels and survived with difficulty.

It turned out that the two patrolling people were looking for Ann in the wine cellar.

When I met Ann, Ann had been hungry for several days. I asked him how he survived. He couldn't live without eating or drinking for several days, and he could still maintain his current state.

Ann told me that he sometimes found some mushrooms on the old and rotting sleepers under the barrel to satisfy his hunger.

Sometimes when I was very hungry, I would sneak back to the lounge of the wine cellar, and when those people were asleep or left, the women would bring some of the saved food to Ann.

However, since the day before yesterday, those people discovered that the women were secretly providing food to Ann.

The punishment for those women is to halve the daily food supply, and all food must be eaten in front of them.

So far, Ann has been hungry for three whole days.

……

Every second of memory is a kind of suffering for An. He doesn't even want to think about those past events, nor does he want to face them.

But once he narrated it, he was able to perfectly imitate the countess's tone of voice and completely restore the conversation at that time. It seems that these words are still fresh in his memory.

At this time, An's eyes were full of anger. This kind of thing imprinted an unforgettable scar on his young heart. He suddenly grabbed my hand tightly, his eyes full of longing. He looked at me, and said, "You are a Falcon warrior, you must be able to defeat those despicable and shameless civilians, please go and save my mother and sister!"

I sighed secretly, because I saw the seeds of hatred in Ann's eyes, probably Ann will never have any good feelings for civilians in this life.

If these people's charges are true and sent to the court, they will be tied to a cross and burned to death.

I looked at Ann, at this time he needed some light and justice to guide the darkness hidden in his heart, I looked into his eyes and said to him: "Okay, I will help you!"

……

The layout of the underground wine cellar in the Zimmerman Manor is very neat, and it belongs to a very regular square underground building. Four lounges are built in the four corners of the southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest respectively. The lounge, which is now full of food, is locked as a material warehouse, and the key is in the hands of the winemaker Anthony with a pigtail on his head.

According to Ann, the lounge is only to provide a place for the servants to rest in the wine cellar. There are about 20 servants working in the wine cellar in the manor, and each lounge has only two rooms, the groom and the gardener. Live in the lounge in the southwest corner, while the chef and winemaker live in the lounge in the southeast corner.

I originally wanted to take Ann out of the wine cellar first, but after Dang An told about his miserable situation, I decided to rescue those women first.

……

Ann and I were lying on the wine barrel shelf outside the lounge in the southeast corner, silently watching a middle-aged man as fat as a ball come out drunkenly holding a candle and pushing the door. The dark wine cellar is particularly glaring, his footsteps look a little vain, the bright candlelight reflects on his face, he is a little bald, the hair on the edge of his head is sparsely scattered behind his head, his eyes are a little swollen, and under the red wine-stained nose Thin lips, appear very mean.

His big round face was greasy, and his chin was invisible. His face was as thick as his neck, and he had a big belly as round as a ball. Maybe he was drinking, and he staggered when he walked.

"He is Chef Joseph!" Ann whispered in my ear: "He once participated in an adventure group. I heard him chatting with winemaker Anthony. They met in an adventure group!"

"Adventure group, they used to be warriors?" I didn't expect these people to have participated in an adventure group, and I don't know how strong they are. I don't want to take risks.

"That Anthony can play various tricks with a dagger. He showed some noble ladies at the ball in the manor. This chef is very powerful. He can carry a fat pig by himself." Ann tried hard Thinking carefully about the characteristics of these two people, he said to me.

I took out the Thorium long-barreled shotgun from my magic pocket, pressed an ordinary lead shot into the magazine, put the long-barreled shotgun on the wine barrel, fixed the gun mount, and said to Ann: "Guns It is very common in the kingdom of dwarves. It is a magic weapon with long-distance attack means invented by dwarf craftsmen. Here is the barrel, here is the magazine, and here is the excitation device. Look at the magic circle above, the center of the circle It can be inlaid with a magic crystal. If a magic crystal is installed, ordinary people can easily use a shotgun. Although its power is a bit weaker than that of a bow and arrow, its biggest advantage is that ordinary people can use it!"

Listening to my detailed explanation, Ann's eyes sparkled, she looked at me enviously, and said to me while swallowing, "Unfortunately, this shotgun is too big, I can't handle it at all, I really want to have one right now." Get a shotgun."

I wanted An to have certain means of self-defense in the future, so I took out a handgun that was more than a foot long from the magic pocket and handed it to him.

This handgun is very beautifully made, and its accuracy is very good. The design of the excitation device on it is very reasonable. The bullet is a copper bean the size of a soybean. The recoil of this handgun is very small, and it is suitable for women with weak wrists. .

This was a gift from Senior Benjamin some time ago. He knew I liked firearms, so he did everything possible to find them from weapon dealers.It's just that he made a mistake in his estimation. He mistakenly thought that a magic apprentice like me was not that strong, so he specially picked a pistol with almost no recoil.Losing the effect of long-range sniping, such a hand gun is like a toy in my hand. For me, this hand gun with a range of only fifteen yards is useless at all. I can do it at such a short distance. Released the lightning bolt.

Senior Benjamin was also out of good intentions, so I was very happy to accept it, politely declined his invitation to join their team, and said that after the War Spirit team was disbanded, I would not join any other teams this semester, so that he Only then was I completely relieved.I know what he's thinking, he just wants to make sure his team wins the martial arts tournament so that their team and each of their members' names will be engraved on the wall of honor.

Therefore, I had an extra pistol in my magic pocket, and seeing that An didn't dislike firearms, I gladly took it out and handed it to him along with the bag of copper beans.

I said to him: "Before you become a real knight, use this pistol to protect the people you care about the most!"

He couldn't hide the joy in his heart, took the gun, nodded excitedly to me and said, "Yeah!"

Maybe it was too quiet in the wine cellar, and any slight sound could attract the attention of others.

At this moment, Chef Joseph stopped and looked at me suspiciously. He seemed to have vaguely heard our conversation.

Without any hesitation, I pulled the firing pin, opened the magic perception like a spider web, and attached the 'flame tongue weapon' magic to the shotgun. The next moment, the virtual trajectory in the sea of ​​spirits coincided with the barrel of the long-barreled shotgun , the gun aimed at the fat chef Joseph's knee.

"boom!"

The shooting sound of the long-barreled shotgun is actually not loud, but it is very crisp, and when the bullet is fired from the gun, a flash of fire is sprayed out, and before Joseph can react alertly, the bullet directly hits A handful of sparks exploded from his knee.

The knee of his left leg was shattered by the lead shot, and he screamed 'ah' and fell to the ground.

Instinctively, he rolled his fat body, hid behind the wine barrel, and called Anthony loudly...

　The Spring Festival is approaching, the update time is not stable, sorry
