Next to the collapsed tailor shop, a family of three got off an old carriage.
Husband, wife and son.
The three of them were travel-laden, the adults were full of the joy of returning home after the disaster, and the children were biting their fingers, watching all this in a daze.
It seems that they don't understand the expressions of their father and mother.
Items were removed from the carriage, and the locked door was reopened.
After leaving for only a few days, most of the things did not need to be cleaned, only some dust disappeared quickly in the hardworking wife's cleaning.
The items were arranged one by one by the husband.
But a tapestry lacks the pressed hardwood.
Nails you say
Do not make jokes.
As one of the most valuable things in the home, neither the wife nor the husband can destroy this tapestry with nails.
Even though it's still not a third the size of a normal door curtain.
"Get a piece of wood."
"Old Jamie next door should have a lot."
"The house is in ruins. It's not too much for us to take a dollar or two. At most, when he comes back, we invite him to dinner."
The wife said so.
The husband nodded and walked out the door. When passing by his child, he even touched the top of the child's head and showed a gentle smile.
"Stay here, and call your mother if something happens."
"I'll go find two pieces of wood over there."
As the husband spoke, he walked towards the ruined tailor's shop.
Looking at such ruins, the husband couldn't help sighing.
"Hope old Jamie doesn't see this happening."
"no no."
"It's better to see it, at least it proves that he is still alive."
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the husband realized that he had said something wrong, and immediately changed his words. Then, he walked into the ruins, hoping to find a piece or two of wood that could be useful.
Obviously, this is not an easy task.
It took the husband more than ten minutes to pick up two logs that were considered complete.
Shaking the dust off the wood, the husband turned to go home.
But when he turned around, he realized that the child who had been squatting in front of his house had disappeared. Suddenly, the husband's body shook.
But in the next moment, he walked towards his home as if nothing happened.
"Little Jimmy! Little Jimmy!"
The husband yelled as he walked, but there was no answer.
Not only did my own children not respond, but even my wife did not respond.
"What are you doing?"
The husband grumbled and moved on.
But just one meter away from the door of his own house, the husband threw the two pieces of wood in his hand straight away.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sharp piercing sound was like a thrown javelin.
The husband who threw the two logs did not move his upper body, his toes touched the ground, and shot backwards like an arrow that had left the string.
But immediately, the opponent flew back at a faster speed.
boom!
The husband broke through the door of his house and crawled there trembling.
pain!
The piercing pain spread from the kicked part to the whole body.
With just one kick, the opponent knew that the person who attacked him not only had a quick kick, but also knew the structure of the human body, and knew where to hit it.
Then, when the husband gritted his teeth and was about to stand up and fight desperately, the other party finally saw the situation in the room clearly.
A young girl is sitting in a chair.
His 'wife' and 'children' lay unconscious at each other's feet.
"Mary James!"
When seeing the iconic blond hair and blue eyes, the other party exclaimed.
Of course, Mary was not the reason for the other party to panic.
It was because the other party knew that Mary's appearance must be accompanied by another person.
Demon!
When he saw that black figure out of the corner of his eye, the opponent's body trembled uncontrollably. The poison hidden in the teeth was about to be touched several times, but finally gave up.
It's not that I dare not.
Not to mention being greedy for life and afraid of death.
It's just that the other party remembered the fact that the 'demon' controls the corpse and manipulates the soul.
That is a very clear record!
He watched it more than once.
Because of this, he felt fear.
How unfortunate and hopeless it is to be unable to escape even death.
And when such despair spreads, how can the other party not tremble.
"What do you want?"
The other party asked.
The answer Qin Ran gave was a hand knife.
Snapped!
Very simply, the other party passed out on the ground.
No need to ask.
Or, to be more precise, it was not time to ask.
Mary watched Qin Ran tie up the three captives in puzzlement, but she didn't say much. She knew that Qin Ran must have his own reasons for doing so.
Following behind Qin Ran, Mary watched as Qin Ran returned to Warren Palace with three captives.
Similarly, she also saw Maxim and Celti appearing at the gate of the palace with a group of people.
There were not many people, even fewer than those who participated in the war before, only about ten people.
"grown ups."
"That's all the hands I can muster."
Maxim looked at Qin Ran who was approaching, and said very shyly.
If possible, Maxim would not even face Qin Ran directly, even though he knew that it was not a test for Qin Ran to call everyone together.
But he was full of confidence when he left.
Those who did not belong to the same branch as him naturally could not be summoned, but the people under his command, at that time, Maxim thought they were sure.
However, reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.
When he sent out the summoning signal, except for the ten people around him, the remaining people either did not respond or simply refused.
And told him directly, and voted for others.
Such a result made Maxim unacceptable.
But the cruel reality made him have to swallow the bitter fruit.
He knows why this happened.
However, it was precisely because of this knowing that it made him suffer even more.
He did not have the decisiveness that a leader should have.
Faced with his mistake, Maxim bowed his head in pain, he didn't dare to look at Qin Ran's expression.
Any contempt and sarcasm are fatal to him at this time.
"Good job."
Qin Ran's voice sounded.
Maxim was taken aback.
He raised his head in disbelief, looked at Qin Ran, expecting to find something.
But Qin Ran's seemingly constant expression made him unable to see anything.
"My lord, you don't need to comfort me."
Maxim shook his head wryly.
"I didn't comfort you."
"There are at least ten more people, which is much better than I imagined - in my imagination, the number should be in the single digits, or not."
"There are ten people, which means you are kinder than I imagined."
After saying that, Qin Ran walked towards the palace.
He still had more important things to do, so he didn't have time to chat with Maxim, and he was able to say a few words with him because the other party brought more people than he imagined.
Looking at Qin Ran's back, Maxim opened his mouth again and again, wanting to say something, but when the words reached his lips, they turned into thanks.
"Thanks."
As Maxim said, he waved his hand.
His friends and subordinates followed Qin Ran into the palace.
Then, the sky gradually darkened.
A series of strange figures quickly approached Warren Palace through the darkness and shadows.
The leader looked at the seemingly heavily guarded Warren Palace and sneered disdainfully.
"The frog in the well!"
"You never know who you offended!"
puff!
Before the sneer fell, the opponent's head flew high.
