Under the night, Scandinavian City has lost the excitement and hustle and bustle it used to have when it was the capital of the king.
Except for the sporadic lights that can be seen near the upper city and the palace, the rest of the city has been plunged into deep darkness.
After nightfall, it began to rain lightly in the city.
As a result, there are even fewer people on the dilapidated streets. Those displaced residents huddled in the crumbling houses, relying on the half roof that did not collapse to barely accommodate.
This is already the 11th day that Scandinavian City suffered a "dragon attack".
In the first few days, the giant dragons only targeted the rich merchants and dignitaries in the upper city, and seldom harassed the lower city and civilian areas. But when the giant dragons snatched up those high-value targets, their eyes finally fell on the civilians who accounted for 60% of the city's population.
In the first few days of the looting, all the adult dragons flew over. With their strong individual strength, they completely crushed the guards of the commercial firm and the powerful guards, and smashed open warehouses and cellars full of supplies and treasures one after another. .
Although Scandinavian City has the most powerful ground armament in the Knights Continent, the weak Edward VII ordered all the high-ranking knights to be stationed near the palace, strictly prohibiting them from conflicting with the dragon.
As a result, without the protection of the kingdom's force, Skanderleigh City has become a hunting ground for giant dragons. Every day, giant dragons fly here from thousands of miles away to take whatever they want.
And as the dragons need to invade more and more cities, the adult dragons in the Dragon Valley are gradually not enough. Even some young dragons who were about to grow up were sent out to practice the basic skills of hunting and predation with the adult dragons every day, sharpening their minions.
Under such cruel devastation, Scandinavian City is like a critically ill patient who struggles on the edge of life and death every day, waiting for his last breath.
Greem's whole body was wrapped in a thick black traveler's cloak, like a midnight ghost walking in the dark, following behind Leaf and Blade, silently shuttling through the dark alleys of the lower city.
Ye Zi is the thin young man who brought him to Prophet Mars last time, no, a girl! Sorry, because of severe malnutrition when she was young, Ye Zi, a 14-year-old girl, is thin and thin, and she can hardly tell the slightest gender characteristic from her appearance. And after she was found by the Prophet Mars, the awakened innate ability was somewhat similar to the mind control of the cursed wizard.
Due to the lack of systematic cultivation and rational use of resources, this also led to the fact that after Ye Zi's talent awakened, she couldn't find a spellcaster who could give her advice. This also caused her to have almost no other spells to learn except for a few innate spells.
So Greem had to shake his head and sigh after carefully inspecting her body. This little girl who was originally gifted with spellcasting had the powerful mental power of a quasi-sorcerer, but her body's basic attribute parameters were even worse. Not as good as some ordinary people.
As for the other 13-year-old boy Blade, he was basically similar to her.
The blade has an extremely special affinity for metals, and can naturally control some metal weapons. He also has quasi-shaman-level strength, but he masters almost zero spells, and his physical fitness is in a mess.
As street beggars who used to be inferior to pigs and dogs, they have no relatives and no formal names. Even the name they are calling now was temporarily given by Prophet Marth after they took them in.
However, although their strength is poor, their familiarity and understanding of Scandinavian City is hard for outsiders to match. And what Greem needs is a coward like them!
Turned through countless alleys in the dark, and even climbed over two or three deserted houses on the way. Soon, a 3-story tower building appeared in front of it.
They want to sneak into the upper city from the lower city, and this kind of tower and small building must pass through.
Looking from a distance, inside a small arched doorway, under the dim torch, three city guards are gathering together holding guns and chatting.
Taking advantage of Ye Zi going forward to deal with the guards, the blade moved closer to Greem again.
"Hey, big man, is your world really that powerful? I heard from the old man that you wizards are powerful enough to dominate the multiverse!"
Two groups of silent flames were burning under the shadow of Greem's hood, and he didn't reject this curious little guy too much. Because there is not much difference in age, there is an inexplicable closeness in his heart.
Many times he also had to sigh, fortunately, he was born in the world of wizards where wizards are respected when he crossed over. If he unfortunately falls into such a terrible place as the knight plane, I am afraid that even with the help of a chip, it will be difficult for him to rise to the top so quickly.
"Wizards are not as powerful as you imagined. In the entire multiverse, there are countless strong races and powerful planes that can surpass wizards. You should also feel lucky that it is only us wizards who are here this time. If Those disaster lords from the Calamity World are here, and your entire plane is not enough for them to swallow!" Anyway, there is still plenty of time, so Greem chatted with him casually.
It wasn't until Ye Zi was beckoning in front that the two walked quickly to the doorway illuminated by the torch light.
The three city guards were wearing old standard leather armor, holding long guns in their hands, leaning on the wall casually, still maintaining a posture of chatting. Their eyes were all wide open, but their eyes were lacklustre, and they didn't respond to the approach of Greem and others.
Greem could see clearly, there was a strange rune flashing slightly on each of their foreheads.
The three of them passed through the doorway silently, and when they were submerged in the darkness far away, as Ye Zi withdrew the rune in his hand, the three city guards under control just woke up from their sluggishness like a dream . However, the short pause just now obviously did not affect the interest of the three of them in chatting, and they continued to chat happily as they continued the topic just now.
"It's a pretty good ability!" Greem gave a rare compliment.
Of course, for the little girl to be able to figure out such a peculiar way of using her talent without anyone teaching her, she is obviously a person with extraordinary talent. It's a pity that she was born in this unlucky knight plane. If she is lucky enough to be born in the wizarding world, maybe she can also become a powerful wizard!
"Of course." The blade obviously has a special affection for this Ye Zi, and immediately excitedly said: "Sister Ye Zi is an indispensable and important person in our team. Apart from the old man and those few mentors, her ability Already the strongest!"
"Blade, shut up!" Ye Zi, who was walking in front, turned around and scolded in a low voice: "If you can't control your mouth again, I will make you speechless all night!"
With her special ability to control thinking, maybe it only takes a simple psychological hint to make others temporarily lose the ability to speak. After all, people in this world don't have such a simple and practical witchcraft jewelry that protects the heart and mind like the soul brooch.
Hearing that the boss was angry, the young Blade stuck out his tongue at Greem, and quickly shut his mouth.
tutor
Greem smiled faintly, savoring silently.
Ye Zi is already a quasi-shaman-level mind controller, so the mentor mentioned in the blade's mouth may only be a formal wizard-level existence. To be able to successfully advance to the rank of official spellcaster under such brutal blows and oppression from the witcher knights, how insanely talented these guys are!
After passing through the doorway, they have entered the so-called upper city.
Compared with the contiguous low-rise bungalows and dilapidated wooden houses in the lower city, the entire upper city is almost full of exquisite villas with garden lawns. And the villa where their target lives is closer to the palace area, so the difficulty of sneaking there can be imagined.
Greem's terrifying sorcery ability can indeed turn this place into a sea of flames with a single gesture, but it is difficult for him to sneak into the enemy's innermost area without making a sound. His flame jump is indeed a good mobile witchcraft, but the soaring fire light and the sudden burst of flame halo are hard to hide.
If he didn't want to attract the guards in the entire upper city, then it was inevitable to use the abilities of these little local snakes!
The three stopped and walked, sneaking into the dark area from time to time, avoiding the guards patrolling in full armor.
The dragon attack for more than ten days in a row has left the upper city area devastated, with ruined walls everywhere, and collapsed houses can be seen everywhere.
This area, located at the junction of Uptown and the Palace District, is a place where some of the most powerful and noble people in Scandinavia can live.
But at this moment, in the second-floor building of an exquisite villa, a faint candlelight is shining through the window of the bedroom. This fully shows that even on such a dreary rainy night, the owner of the bedroom still did not fall asleep.
Daphne gently pushed open the wooden window, leaned against the window lattice, silently looking at the sky under the dark night.
Only at this moment, those damn dragons will not come whistling and disturb her peaceful and happy life.
The previous block was attacked by a giant dragon just yesterday, and Grena's house was bulldozed. It is said that even a dozen servants were killed or injured. The house of John's house in the block on the right was also patronized by the dragon, and the valuables in the house were almost swept away.
Every day during the day, these little friends have to gather together and hide in the palace. Only in this way can they avoid being hurt by the dragon. At night, they have the opportunity to return to their homes to see if their homes are still alive.
Such a dull day is just terrible!
Thinking of her father still needing to guard day and night in that ear-piercing and noisy casting camp, unable to guard her and her mother, Daphne's heart was full of resentment.
