Chapter 1186
As Isaac and Lucian marched in the direction of Golovin hills, persuaded the little wizard who had no results, and the night watchman Vera were taking the escaped to Goro. Retreat in the direction of Wen city gate.
"...We are very grateful for your helping hands, really...As the first instructor of the Imperial Family wizard Academy, I, Gray Thrall, are very ashamed, because in addition to being grateful, we also take There is nothing to thank you for."
"Since the emergence of that huge vortex, we have insisted on...hehe, we don’t know how long it took, the only clock tower appeared in the body of Evil God The time is ruined."
"Being able to show up at this time, and willing to lend a helping hand, no matter what the reason is, we are not qualified to refuse, but!"
>"This is the Imperial Family wizard Academy, the sixth-generation'sage', Brandon I. Under tremendous pressure, the Holy Land, which belongs to the wizard, belongs to the alchemists, was established by the opposition of the crowd; It is the first time that the wizard world has been recognized and reached a higher-level after hundreds of years of exclusion and discrimination!"
"For the first time, we stepped out of the land of Eboden. The soil established the Academy, and in the Imperial Capital we have a piece of Heaven and Earth that belongs to us."
"A place like this cannot be discarded in vain; a place like this is worthy of future generations to sacrifice for her."
"I think...If the Corona Master and a group of wizard tower elders are willing to sacrifice their lives for Eboden and the nine-pointed star wizard tower; then even if I cannot achieve his accomplishments, at least Like him, you can sacrifice for the Academy that you have dedicated your life to."
"Of course, if any apprentice wants to leave with you, we will not obstruct it; but for those who have decided to stay People, please stop persuading them."
"even more how, there are still a large number of carrion demons in the city, and the Academy with the cold ice shield can attract their attention; yes We are here, and your retreat is a little safer."
"We will wait here, waiting for the emergence of the giant dragon that saves the empire, and witness all the monsters turning to ashes!"...
No matter how desperate it is, there will still be stupid people who will hold on to the last moment for the faith in their hearts.
To be honest, Ayn had a very bad impression of Gray Thrall-from using Loren to staying out of the wizard Academy in the court trial, Loren was almost fighting alone, but Provided some help covertly...
In the eyes of the little wizard, he and the Imperial Family wizard Academy behind him are a group of timid people who only know to ask for help even in the crisis of life and death. , The coward who hides by himself.
After the Battle of Eboden, I did not see these Imperial Capital wizards appearing on the battlefield-obviously fighting to protect the base camp of the wizard world, even Byrne, Lothar and The wizards of East Sacrament also joined the battlefield sooner or later. Only the wizards of Imperial Capital hid behind a safe city wall...
But this time, this coward stayed willingly. Coming down, the Academy guarded by him persisted to the last moment, willingly buried her...
Ai Yin, who was in a complicated mood, couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?"
The female night watchman on the side asked with concern.
"It's nothing, go ahead." The little wizard who forbeared his mood turned his head and glanced at the messy retreating team behind him, turning his gaze to the direction of the city gate: "We still have a far away section of the The road must go."
"It doesn't matter whether you can walk there or not." Vera, who rolled the eyes, couldn't help but complain.
Because of Gray Thrall’s persistence, almost all of the mentors and apprentices of the Imperial Family wizard Academy decided to stay at the Academy. They persisted until the last minute, and few really wanted to leave with them.
With these "warriors" in front, you can imagine what kind of guys are willing to leave-fleeing nobles and servants of the rich, luckily survived the tide of monsters The small merchants, the deacon of the big guild and the clerks at the bottom... Simply put, they are the aristocrats who are alive and afraid of death, and the upper class citizens who are rich and safe.
As for why there are no ordinary citizens and poor people at the lowest level... Wizard Academy is already very close to the sky palace on the hills of Golovin. If an ordinary person can escape from the outermost slums here, All the way to escape the chasing of Evil God's body and the tide of monsters-why didn't he just turn his head and ran out of the city?
These people have no plans to bury the Wizard Academy. They are even more impossible to fight side by side with the wizards who hate or have nothing to do with them in the past; hiding in the Wizard Academy is just a helpless move, and the opportunity lies in front of you Of course it is going to run away.
Although she didn’t take Vera’s complaint seriously, but looking at such a group of people who have avoided a catastrophe on their faces, it seems like people who have escaped from Imperial Capital, the little wizard feels that he is burdened. A burden that is simply unbearable.
Although they and Lucien have cleared a "safe passage" from the gate to the Academy, but also not said that it is absolutely safe-just on the upper surface of the Imperial Capital, there is still Dozens of Evil God bodies and tens of thousands of carrion demons!
As for the number of underground sewers and underground passages extending in all directions...the little wizard didn't even dare to think about it.
Under the dull night sky, the retreating team dragged out an extremely long queue among the ruined streets, chaotically following the leader Ai Yin and the red-haired night watchman, moving slowly.
No matter how many times she reminded, try to keep the formation as close as possible to provide more protection in times of danger. This group of people still remain unmoved; they just follow the middle of the team not too close. Or later, watching the surroundings vigilantly, ready to escape alone anytime and anywhere.
The other handful are clinging tightly behind Ayin and Vera, no matter how they persuade them, they will not disperse a little bit, as if only in this way can they bring them a sense of security.
Such a tight and loose fleeing team with no formation at all; I am afraid that it will not be necessary to actually meet the Evil God body and the tide of monsters. A little movement will cause the birds and beasts to disperse, in order to fight for "escape" Are you fighting each other on the road?
A glimmer of survival can be achieved by uniting in such a dangerous place. Being vigilant and even hostile to each other will only make everyone perish together.
Ain is very pessimistic about the prospect of a successful retreat.
She finally understood why even at the most difficult juncture, Gray Thrall of Wizard Academy would rather tire the apprentices one by one, or insist on not giving them weapons-he was not afraid of these People kill each other or kill themselves, but the tide of monsters attracted by this group of people will bring the Wizard Academy to the fish pond.
Even if it’s as simple as a little wizard, I can’t help but "full of malicious intent" to guess whether Gray Thrall and the people of Wizard Academy deliberately let them take this group away, just in case Academy will be ruined in their hands...
"Don’t think so much."
Vera, who sensed Ayin’s worries, patted her on the shoulder, comforted: "We only need Do your best to protect them and let as many people as possible leave the city alive."
"But..."
"No, but no one is forcing you to protect them. This The group of people never said that you should protect them, right? We don’t have the responsibility to protect them."
Looking at Ayin who wanted to refute, Vera couldn’t help saying: "We just have to keep our promises. , Do your job well-take them away from Imperial Capital, that's enough."
Some aggrieved little wizard blinked, and some stared at Vera in disbelief.
"What's wrong?" red-haired girl said ill-humoredly.
"No, nothing..." Ai Yin shook her head quickly, hesitating: "Just, didn't expect Vera, you can actually say such things. Generally, people who say such things are …Yes…"
In her memory, it is usually another night watchman who would have such "whatever possible" remarks.
"Edward."
Turning her head, Vera showed only a small side of her face to Ai Yin, as if she was deliberately avoiding her sight.
"I used to hate that guy a lot."
"When the Eboden night watchman?"
"No, it was in the gutter lane ." Vera shook her head: "Of the night watchmen in Eboden, we were the first to know each other-Jarvan and Ivan, who came later."
The two wizards who protected Isaac sacrificed. Well... thought the little wizard.
"This guy used to be a bad kind-never willing to help people, never righteous; every time the food is robbed, he just sits there shrugged, saying that he can't help it. , I can’t beat them."
"It was the same when I joined the Night Watch. He was already a Night Watchman, but he still refused to give me a hand-so I also tried to join the Night Watchman later. When I was at first, I didn’t mean anything else, I just wanted to piss him off."
"The situation in the next few years will be similar... Since we joined the Holy Blood Potion, it seems that it has been four to five years. ; This guy has never been willing to do more than one extra thing, never do anything extra, a matter of no concern to oneself must hang up high...In short, it is very disgusting!"
"But..." The female night watchman with her head down, her expression changed slightly: "After so many things, I can slightly understand why he did that."
"I don't care. Messing is afraid of trouble, and more afraid of getting involved in more troubles that can’t stay out of it;"
"Don’t do unnecessary things because he knows his abilities well; this guy knows he can What he can’t do, what he can’t do, and what he can’t do...different from me."
"The most important thing is...forcing to do things beyond one’s abilities, and not letting things happen Any improvement will only get worse—just like it is now."
"Although I still hate that guy’s habit of being out of business, at least this is what Edward is right—with our ability If you want to protect everyone, no one will be able to save in the end, so..."
Vera turned her head, solemnly looking at Ayin who was a little shocked: "We only need to keep our promises and do It’s a good thing—it’s enough to take them away from Imperial Capital."
"Because of apart from this, we can’t do anything—it takes courage to admit the limitations of our abilities. !"
The little wizard was startled and nodded.
The next journey was fairly smooth-thanks to a very "hardworking" gray pupil, almost all the monsters encountered along the way were cleaned up, and there was no obstruction at all. The threat of their retreat.
Except for the corpses under the feet and the fragments of the carrion demons, the entire group walking through the ruins did not even meet a "living" monster.
Soon, the refugees relaxed their vigilance one after another, and the group of people who were behind the little wizard and the night watch gradually slowed down, and the longer and longer the queue became more and more. The looser, talking and laughing.
If it weren't for the huge vortex overhead and the rubble under your feet, it would be no different from an outing.
Some people are even unwilling to follow the retreating team and leave alone toward other streets turned into ruins-either to take shortcuts or to pick up the luggage and belongings left by the people in front of them...Originally The team of nearly a thousand people became more and more scattered, getting smaller and smaller, leaving only a crowd of less than one third to follow the little wizard.
Except for a few wizard apprentices, most of them are women and children who cannot escape alone.
The little wizard did not persuade those who left.
In addition to Vera’s words and the rest of the people who need more protection, she also vaguely expects that it’s right to do this-protecting nearly a thousand people is a burden she can’t imagine, if because of herself The wrong decision caused so many people to die in vain...
Ayin couldn't bear the pain.
She even hoped that she was wrong and that those people would survive because of the decision to leave her-even if this would kill herself and one third of the fugitives, at least there would be 2/3/2021 People survive.
The city gate is already in front of them, and there is nothing blocking them except the ruins and ruins. The people behind them have even begun to cheer fortunately, embracing each other and weeping with joy, celebrating that they can leave this hell alive.
Even the little wizard and Vera looked at each other, relieved tacitly, and smiled.
At this moment...
"Boom——————————!!!"
The familiar loud noise and The shock caused the two in shock to turn their eyes to the ground under their feet at the same time.
In the next second, the entire ground began to tremble violently. The neat floor tiles were shaken out like Domino Bone Tokens, and they "jumped" back and forth on the ground.
"Boom!"
The masonry overturned, and the flat ground began to collapse in pieces; huge tentacles made of bones and flesh and blood came out of the ground, The violent elongation.
Soon, the second, the third, the fourth...like a lava spewing from the ground, with strong stench of blood flowing from the cracks along the collapsed ground out. Washing the ruins full of rubble, dyeing everything in sight to a dark red.
"Boom——————————!!!"
There was another loud noise, and the magnificent Imperial Capital city gate was finally overwhelmed and sank. The ground collapsed; in a terrifying sound, it slapped heavily on the ground.
In the scattered smoke and dust, screams...
One after another.
"Boom——————————!!!"
