God's Chosen Archmage

Chapter 84 The Town and the Winnicks

The distance in the distance seemed to be approaching, perhaps because he was about to escape, so Ed finally had the leisure to look behind him.

However, he unexpectedly discovered that the robbers behind him had nothing to do with the vampire bat Qiu in the sky!Even though they are close at hand, the two seem to have not seen each other!
How could this be?Ed was full of question marks.

Taking a deep breath, Ed thought of an idea that wasn't an idea. "Hello, Arthur, are you all right?"

"Woo, I'm fine..."

"Arthur, unleash a trick of water magic on me, and give those robbers a good bath!"

One, a huge wave about three meters high appeared abruptly.Arthur's Level [-] Giant Wave Technique didn't have much power because of too hasty preparation, but it still engulfed all the thieves in it!

The bandits' chasing troops were repulsed, and when Ed was secretly delighted by his unintentional idea, the bandits shouted as if they had been poisoned!
Before Ed understood what was going on, those blood-winged black bats in the sky suddenly rushed towards them!One by one the robbers were caught and dragged to the sky!
There were screams like ghosts!But spread farther and farther.Those robbers became everyone's scapegoats, and Famen stopped him.In town.

It was safe for the time being, and the most excited thing was that Arthur, who knelt on the ground without waiting for anyone to say anything!
"Ahhh...Damn, have I finally escaped from that devil's lair? My ancestors have blessed me! My chastity has been preserved...Ahhh..."

At this time, Arthur really burst into tears, and the big drops of tears fell like rain, which made people feel sad and cry when they heard it!
Ed wiped the non-existent sweat from his brow and could only comfort him. "Ed, what do you guys know?"

Unexpectedly, Arthur was not only excited, but also knew what was good and what was wrong!Immediately, he didn't care about anything else, and started crying again.

"Damn, you don't know wow, those robbers don't just like beautiful women. They, they, they also like beautiful men! Wow..."

Ed didn't try to persuade him this time, his eyes were fixed on Thief Xixi and Arthur's upturned butt.Fortunately, although this guy's clothes are messy, he is still neat...

On the side, although Wayne didn't understand what happened to Arthur, he couldn't bear to watch him cry like this. "Hey, Arthur, don't just cry, you don't seem to be doing well..."

"You kid! Still thinking about what will happen to me!"

This Arthur is like a mad dog now, biting whoever he sees!Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned around and took a ring from his hand and dropped it on the ground, and stepped on it a few times as if he couldn't understand his hatred.

"It's all about you, it's all about you! If it wasn't for your broken ring, why would I..."

He made a gesture to step on it again, but was stopped by Ed. "Hey, how can such a rare transformation ring be ruined like this? You don't want it, I want it!"

They were really entangled here, but suddenly a large group of people appeared around the town.These are ordinary townspeople.But looking at their faces, they were filled with a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts!

Among them, the leader, an old man with a distressed complexion, came out more and more, and said to several people: "Leave immediately! Strangers, you are not welcome here!"

Ed's face sank like water.Although he also understood that going out of town now can only be bad luck, but the aloof personality cultivated in his previous life still made him pull a few people together, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Stranger, take that person away too, he is no longer here!"

Suddenly, the old man who seemed to be the mayor spoke again.But the person he pointed at was the woodcutter!
A fire of ignorance burned in Ed's chest.He suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly at these people. "Oh? Just because he was attacked by a vampire, you isolated him for a while and let him fend for himself? Hehe, the customs in this town are really full of warmth!"

His eyes flicked across the faces of everyone around him one by one.The older ones had more or less a hint of guilt on their faces, but the younger townspeople didn't take it seriously!

A burly man sneered at this and said, "Unfamiliar mages, I advise you to stay out of your own business. Because you don't understand our affairs at all."

"Why? Is this the custom of your small town?"

The big man sneered and pointed at the woodcutter. "Why don't you ask the Al you are guarding? Hehe, at the beginning, he encouraged everyone to formulate this rule."

Ed couldn't help but froze.He helped the woodcutter named Al out of a moment of righteous indignation, but he didn't expect there to be such a reason!
The mayor sighed, but reached out to stop the big man. "Okay Al, since you have also become the bait of vampires...there is a house on the hillside east of the town, I think, when you cruelly drove away the other attacked people in the town, you should have imagined such a day."

Speaking of this, naturally no one will say anything.The so-called house is actually a large wooden house that provides temporary rest for woodcutters and hunters who go to the mountains to chop wood.It can be seen that no one has been to this place for a long time. Although the room is still spacious, it is full of dust.

Ed and the other two arranged some light arrays in this place and lit a fire.When everything was free, the woodcutter Al, who had been silent just now, finally opened his heart to everyone.

"Three mages, you must be thinking that this guy was kicked out of his home by the rules he made. It must be an irony, right?"

"No, I'm just curious, why did you encourage the townspeople to formulate such rules." Ed said lightly.Once attacked by a vampire, there must be the mark of the vampire on the body, and it is also likely to be controlled by the vampire.But Ed didn't believe it at all. An ordinary person still knew this kind of anecdote that even ordinary magicians didn't know.

Al supported his chest, but his expression fell into a kind of reminiscence. "That happened 15 years ago. Hehe, I just got married at that time, and it was the happiest time. Hehehe, I didn't meet the Winnicks at that time. I'm afraid it wasn't just my wife who died that time."

"The Winnick family? Who are they, and what does this have to do with the rules of the town?"

Wayne on the side turned into a curious baby at this moment.

Al didn't answer, but looked out the window.At this time, the sky has turned into a deep purple like night.But just over the small town not far away, a light red film appeared.

Ed understood that this uniquely colored spiritual shield must be the guarantee of the safety of the small town.

"See? This is the credit of the Winnicks' family. Unfortunately, since the Winnicks passed away half a year ago... I'm really worried that little Nicole won't be able to hold on..."

"Well, I do understand your painstaking efforts. But let a weak girl protect the whole town, don't you have any other options?" Ed asked in a deep voice.He found that there were a lot of strange things in this weird fantasy space.At the same time, he seemed to vaguely understand why Kaku gave him four trial bracelets.

"How could it not be?" Al sighed again.There was a bitter smile on his face. "Actually, we all couldn't stand the Holy See of Light and were abandoned. Hehe, remember those robbers outside the town? Even they have holy water from the Holy See of Light. Unfortunately, those god sticks still refuse to promise to completely wipe out the vampires."

Ed sneered, if those priests of light wiped out the vampires, would they still be able to do whatever the civilians here wanted?But having said that, he was also very curious about Al's repeated mention of the Winnick family.After all, to maintain such a large-scale magic year after year all night, even a great magister who has refined spiritual magic cannot afford it.

※※※

In the sky, that lingering deep purple seemed to be getting thicker.Although there is neither the sun nor the moon at night, the night is still very bright!
In front of the town, a large pile of gray and white shriveled corpses fell on the ground.No one collected the corpses for these robbers, but those blood-winged black bats hovered around here in twos and threes.

Ed, who was wearing an invisibility cloak and also had the invisibility technique, approached quietly at this time.He was naturally not interested in these dead people.But I heard Al said that these people also have holy water on them...

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.On the body of the third robber he turned over, he found a pot-bellied glass bottle that looked like a perfume bottle.

Ed opened the lid, and a strong garlic smell rushed out of the bottle.

Is this the so-called holy water?Ed couldn't help but laugh.In this world, vampires really don't like garlic very much.But just the effect of this thing on vampires... Ed felt hungry and wanted to eat dumplings.

Thinking of eating, there was a sudden noise from a house in the distance, and after a while, a middle-aged couple timidly walked out of the room.Although the woman was holding onto the man next to her tightly, the pitchfork in the man's hand seemed to be shaking slightly.

"Husband, you should hurry up, there are so many corpses lying there, I'm afraid..."

"Stupid woman, what are you urging!" The man stared.He was also scared to death, but he just didn't want to show weakness in front of his woman.

The woman dared not speak any more, but murmured and complained. "Hey, it's all the mayor's fault. He has to have people take turns delivering meals to Nicole every day. Husband, you girl has passed the year, and it's not like you have no hands or feet..."

"You stupid woman!"

That man seemed really angry! "Let me ask you, who helped build our house? Who saved our son from falling into the river? If you dare to talk nonsense, I will beat you to death!"

After a pause, the man may feel that his words are a bit harsh, and he comforted his wife: "Honey, I also know that you are just angry. But you have to have a beginning and an end in life. You see Nicole is so old, and she will definitely die soon." Married."

"Huh, let's talk about this again! Do you know what the boys in the town say about Nicole? Humph, if you talk about looks, that's nothing to say. But who can stand her cold temper? But just like us As my son said, what's the use of being beautiful? Who wants to marry an ice cube who can't work and go home to live?"

"Stop saying a few words! Let me tell you, the mayor has just sent a message. If we can't do this job well today, tomorrow we will ask our son to bury the dead in the town."

"That, that's not allowed! Our son hasn't married yet, so we can't be affected by this vampire's bad luck."

The two couples talked in such a low voice before disappearing at the corner of the street.But Ed in the distance is becoming more and more interested in this Nicole who has never met before.
