Fallen Eagle City.
In front of a private house in the west of the city, Valla knocked on the door.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman opened the door and came out.
She obviously knew Valla, and hurriedly saluted: "Good day, Knight Valla, what can I do for you?"
"Good day, Mrs. Oliver, your husband asked me to send you a letter." With that said, Walra handed over a letter.
Mrs. Oliver quickly thanked and took it, and looked carefully.
Her husband has not been home for more than a month, and she also went to the Tulip Chamber of Commerce to look for it, but was told that Oliver had already traveled with the caravan, and it would take some time before he came back.
This struck Mrs. Oliver as a bit odd, as her husband would tell her days in advance of each trip and ask her to help with packing.
But this time, there were no signs.
After reading her husband's letter, Mrs. Oliver's face became more worried, and she quickly asked, "Master Knight, do you know where my husband is now?"
Walra shook her head and said, "I'm sorry Ma'am, I just helped him deliver the letter, and I can't talk about the rest. However, I suggest you do as he said."
Mrs. Oliver seemed to understand something, and nodded again and again: "Okay, I will take the children and leave Eagle Falling City!"
After finishing speaking, she bowed to Walra apologetically, and then hurried back to the house.
Walra also left immediately, but he didn't go far. Instead, he found a seat by the window in a nearby tavern.
About an hour later, Mrs. Oliver came out with two little boys, followed by three servants carrying all kinds of bags and bags, and hurried out of the city.
Walra followed immediately.
However, at the gate of the city, Mrs. Oliver and his party were stopped.
In fact, all residents trying to leave the city at this time were stopped, and the guards at the gate announced loudly—
Today's Falling Eagle City is only allowed to enter, not to exit.
Mrs. Oliver kept asking the guards for accommodation, and even offered a lot of bribes, but she was still ruthlessly refused.
Walra hid not far away and watched for a while, then shook her head and turned to leave.
The bad premonition in his heart became stronger, and at the same time, he became more and more certain—the Santheon family was going to cause trouble in Eagle Falling City!
How should I notify Viscount Angelet
Valla was a little worried.
In fact, he intentionally allowed himself to recuperate after being injured this time, just to cooperate with Colin in secretly plotting to capture Fallen Eagle City, but unexpectedly, their plan had not yet been implemented, and the Santheon family seemed to have taken a step ahead.
The ground on the street has just been resurfaced, but as long as the upper layer of blue-gray gravel soil is removed, a layer of black coal stones can be found underneath.
Valla came to a deserted alley, pulled out the knight sword at her waist, the sword exuded a faint holy light, and then turned into a golden lightning and slashed at the wall.
Boom!
Gravel flew around.
Walra immediately checked the gap in the wall, and found that besides the limestone fragments, there were also black coal stones there.
The commotion this time was a bit loud, and it had obviously attracted attention. There were bursts of voices outside the alley, and Valla left quickly and quietly upon seeing this.
With this series of discoveries and the information provided by Oliver, Valla has basically confirmed the plans of the San Theon family, but what puzzles him is why the San Theon family did this
While meditating, Walra didn't notice that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around him, and finally disappeared completely. When he realized something was wrong, he found himself surrounded.
"I am Walla Uman, who are you?" Walla shouted loudly, pulling out the knight sword.
The eight armored knights who surrounded him did not speak. They were all wearing helmets, their faces could not be seen clearly, and they were approaching Valla without saying a word.
"Mother, is that you?" Valla called out loudly, as if she wanted to lure Penny out to see her.
But unfortunately, his question did not get any response.
It was not known if Penny didn't want to see him, or if Penny wasn't there at all.
Valla sighed, as if she had accepted her fate, swiped her long sword and slashed at a knight directly in front of her.
Clang, clang!
The sound of gold and stone rang out immediately, and Valla swung away the knights in front of him and tried to rush out of the encirclement, but unfortunately, there were too many enemies and their strength was not weak, so his charge was interrupted halfway.
Chi!
A long sword pierced through Valla's back and protruded from his chest.
Walra let out a scream and collapsed to the ground.
Chi Chi!
The enemy made two more sword strikes behind him, and then left quietly.
…
As night fell, the City of Fallen Eagle returned to tranquility.
And it was even quieter than usual, because there was a curfew in Falling Eagle City tonight.
The residents complained a few words, and then they could only obediently hide at home and go to bed early.
But after not sleeping for long, many people were woken up from their sleep by the heat.
When they touched their faces and bodies, they found that they were covered with sweat.
Looking up at the window, it was still pitch black, but there seemed to be some light flickering faintly.
How can the spring night in the north be so hot
Mrs. Oliver was also woken up by the heat, and the children around her kept crying and clamoring for water.
She had no choice but to get out of bed to pour water, but when she stepped on the ground with bare feet, she found that the ground was actually a little hot!
Just when she was feeling strange in her heart, she vaguely heard bursts of noise coming from outside.
Mrs. Oliver didn't want to be troublesome, but a servant rushed over suddenly and shouted: "Madam, Madam, it's not good! The house next door is on fire!"
Mrs. Oliver was stunned, and then ordered: "Then why don't you hurry up and help put out the fire!"
"Yes Yes!"
Mrs. Oliver frowned, but she didn't take it too seriously.
But soon, the fire became bigger and bigger, gradually showing signs of getting out of control.
Moreover, Mrs. Oliver also saw flames emanating from several places in the city, and thick smoke rising into the sky could be vaguely seen.
More and more residents ran out of their houses naked, yelling on the streets, even ignoring the curfew.
The soldiers didn't care about the running and screaming residents, but joined the crowd fighting the fire one after another.
However, the fire in the city was not only not extinguished, but burned more and more vigorously.
Bucket after bucket of water was poured down, and it turned into water vapor after two sizzlings, and the place that was just extinguished still burst into red flames, as if it couldn't be extinguished at all.
"The Santheon family wants to burn down Eagle City, everyone follow me and run out of the city!"
The Valla knight who had already "dead" suddenly stood up at this time and shouted at the crowd.
However, his call did not get much response.
It is obviously hard for the residents of the city to believe such terrible remarks, not to mention that their belongings are all in the city, and they are not willing to give up like this unless it is a last resort.
Walra shouted as he walked, but there were only a few people who were really willing to follow him out of the city.
In just such a short time, the fire in the city has become more and more fierce. There are red flames emerging from the ground and rushing to the sky. The flames are rising higher and higher.
At this time, most of the people realized that something was wrong, and finally began to believe Walla's words, and more and more people followed him to escape outside the city.
But when they rushed to the gate of the city on the hot ground, they were shocked to find that the city wall of Falling Eagle City had already become a wall of fire.
Valla tried to continue to rush forward, but was forced back by the violent fire and choking smoke within a few steps.
This is not right!
Walra immediately realized that if it was just coal, the fire would not have spread so fast. You must know that it is not so simple to make the coal burn. The fire in the city must have been affected by other factors.
If Valla could fly up to the sky and look down, he would find that the flames rising from the Eagle Falling City had gradually spread into fire dragons, and these fire dragons were entangled with each other, gradually forming an extremely mysterious arcane technique The pattern of the array.
The center of the magic circle is where the Uman family castle is located.
There, there was no trace of a flame, only a lone figure in a mage's robe standing at the highest point of the castle, holding a dagger in his hand, chanting words.
The tumbling flames illuminated his face, and it was Mr. Ji.
The raging fire in the city reflected the starry sky late at night as if it were daytime, screams were heard endlessly, and the smell of burnt meat wafted in the air.
These hellish scenes couldn't move Mr. Ji a bit, and he slowly raised the dagger in his hand.
Swish!
Gouged out his left eye!
