Chapter 1277 Night Crisis

The old scholar Parsha was leaning against the window, smoking from his pipe. He had quit smoking a long time ago, but because of the refugee crisis some time ago, many things were robbed, and he was worried and anxious every day, so he started smoking again.

Recently, the war has been temporarily calmed. The refugees were also repatriated, and his mood became clearer. He was not anxious, but he could not quit smoking.

In the past, his old friend Dim would ask him to quit smoking, but after the last time... the magical light rain created by Master Pat, most of the people in Gru Town had their hidden diseases dispelled, so Dim started smoking again.

So, no one of them persuaded anyone now.

While feeling the warmth from the stove and exhaling a mouthful of thick smoke, Parsha showed a comfortable expression.

It should be so comfortable in the winter!

When Parsha was enjoying his happiness, his eyes suddenly looked out the window.

The house was filled with smoke, and the window was covered with dust and snow. He couldn't see clearly, but he seemed to see a group of people from the corner of his eye.

Parsha frowned in confusion: "George has warned many times, why are there still people coming out at night? And it's night, and the weather is cold, who would wander on the street?"

With doubt, Parsha put down his pipe, blew a breath at the window, and then wiped the foggy glass with his old sleeves.

When he looked out through the relatively clear glass, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Three people walked outside, all of whom had a strange aura and a strong sense of presence in the snow.

"Why does one of them look a bit like Master Pat?" Parsha stood up, pushed open the door, and looked out on the street.

But when he stretched his head out and wanted to distinguish carefully, he found that the three people had walked to the end of the street, leaving only a vague afterimage in the wind and snow.

"Did I see it wrong?" Parsha rubbed his temples, turned around and picked up the oil lamp next to the bedside cabinet, ready to go out and take a look.

However, just as Parsha was about to go out, a tiny figure suddenly jumped down from the ceiling, stepped on the wall, and landed on the table on the other side with the force of recoil.

"Old man Parsha, it's okay for you to smoke in the house. Anyway, we have planted trees that absorb smoke, but you open the door at night. Do you want to freeze us to death?" A delicate voice said dissatisfiedly.

Parsha turned around unhappily: "Jin Cancan, how many times have I told you not to follow Dim. You have to call me grandpa, understand? You are really disrespectful."

Although there was a complaint in his words, Parsha looked at the girl on the table who was less than the size of a palm and wearing a flowery skirt with tenderness in his eyes.

Parsha looked out and made sure no one noticed the situation inside, then he closed the door: "Hurry up to the attic, it's so cold down there, you're not afraid of catching a cold."

Faced with Parsha's concern, Jin Cancan was embarrassed to yell again: "I'm not asking you, why did you open the door, and you're holding the oil lamp, are you going to go out? Chief Kumiaomiao has warned you not to go out at night, it's dangerous outside, why don't you believe it?"

"I know, I know." Parsha locked the door, "You keep saying it's dangerous outside, what exactly is the danger?"

Kumiaomiao is the chief of this group of people who call themselves Kulakuka people. He was brought here by the Viscount himself half a month ago, and they lived in the attics of Sheriff George and Parsha's two families in two groups.

During the half month of getting along, Parsha also loved this group of "fairies in the attic" very much. Maybe because they have lived alone all their lives, they are old, and they are very happy to have someone to accompany them, even if it's just to talk. What's more, this group of attic goblins are very considerate and will help with household affairs. They are very trustworthy friends.

However, Parsha has several doubts about this group of new friends. First, this group of Kulakuka people seem to be brought back by Master Pat. Now, he doesn't know why the Viscount sent them out of Pat Manor; second, the chief of the Kumiaomiao tribe often told him not to go out at night, which would be dangerous. Even Sheriff George patrolled the streets every day during this period and told the townspeople not to go out at night. Why?

Parsha has asked these doubts several times, but he didn't get a response.

Every time he asked, the Kulakuka people showed a frightened expression and no one spoke.

Now, he asked again, and Jin Cancan was the same. With a trance in his eyes, he just said: "Don't worry about this matter, curiosity will kill the cat."

After that, Jin Cancan was ready to turn around and go upstairs.

At this time, Parsha sighed and said, "Didn't you just ask me why I opened the door? I just looked out the window and seemed to see Master Pat coming back, so I wanted to go out to confirm it."

"Master Pat?" Jin Cancan suddenly paused, turned his head and looked at Parsha, and asked anxiously: "Are you sure it was Master Pat? Where did he go?"

"I'm not sure, but there were indeed three people passing by on the street outside. One of them looked very much like Master Pat." Parsha recalled: "Looking at their direction, it seems that they were walking towards the manor."

"Master Pat, manor, night... Oops!" Jin Cancan muttered a few times, jumped down the stairs, and came to Parsha's shoulder: "Quick, open the door quickly, and stop Master Pat!"

Parsha looked puzzled: "What happened?"

Jin Cancan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The manor is very unsafe now."

...

Angel and others stopped dozens of meters outside the manor, and there was a boundary of blood light in front of them. For mortals, this layer of blood light cannot be seen, but they can clearly feel it.

"Is the destination ahead? It looks a little dim." After knowing that he was about to meet his relatives, the white bear was much calmer than before.

From his perspective, there seemed to be shadows of buildings in Pat Manor, but there was no light. On the contrary, there were more lights in Gru Town behind him.

Angel could be sure that at least when he left, Pat Manor under the night was the brightest place in the entire Gru Town. Because of the family motto "The fire of the lion's heart will never go out", all the street lights in the manor were bright all night. If there was any extinguishing, the servants would go to relight it as soon as possible.

Now the manor was pitch black, which was obviously abnormal.

Angel looked at Sanders.

Sanders' expression was very calm at this time, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his deep eyes looked forward, as if he was staring at the giant beast lurking in the darkness.

"Teacher, have you found anything?" Angel asked.

Sanders did not answer immediately, but pressed down the brim of his hat and looked somewhere in front.

Angel's eyes followed it. It was a small tree outside the manor. Now it was covered with heavy snow and looked inconspicuous... But a gust of wind blew away some snow dust on the tree, and it could be clearly seen that the trunk was pitch black.

"A dead tree burned by fire?" Angel felt it, and it seemed that it was not a natural fire. There were still some fluctuations of flame energy on the dead tree.

Because the elements of the Old Earth Continent were almost gone, the flame fluctuations on this tree were very obvious.

"Who would burn the tree here?" Angel looked suspicious.

Sanders said at this time: "It's not burning trees, but someone has fought here."

Sanders' eyes flashed with a faint light, as if he saw a battle that happened here not long ago through the thick snow.

Could it be that Xiuyis couldn't suppress Eureka and a battle took place here? When Angel was thinking so, Sanders said: "It was a battle between two apprentices, both of whom were probably third-level apprentices."

Third-level apprentice? Angel's eyes flashed with confusion. How could a third-level apprentice appear here?

When Angel was wondering, Sanders suddenly turned around and looked at the road behind him.

At this time, a man was running on the road. It was a little old man holding a pipe. His steps were very slow, and he was breathing white air while running.

"Wait, wait! Is that Master Pat in front?" The shouting came over.

The next second, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly said: "Didn't I tell you not to shout? Are you going to kill us all?"

After a while, the person stood in front of them.

"Parsha, and..." Angel looked at the little girl in a flowery dress on Parsha's shoulder, who saluted him respectfully: "Jin Cancan?"

"How did you get together?" Angel asked in confusion.

"Great, it's really Master Pat!" Jin Cancan's eyes flashed with joy, but the next second he suddenly realized something and hurriedly said: "Master Pat, are you going back to the manor? Don't go in now, it's very dangerous!"

Angel and Sanders looked at each other, and he looked at Jin Cancan: "The manor is very dangerous? Do you know anything?"

Jin Cancan nodded quickly: "It was Master Eureka. Just half a month ago, she suddenly went crazy... That night..."

Jin Cancan suddenly took a deep breath, with fear in her eyes.

"That night, I saw many servants lying in a pool of blood. I heard from others that even the Viscount was almost killed by her... Fortunately, Lord Xiuyis arrived in time and subdued her."

When Jin Cancan said that many servants were lying in a pool of blood, Angel's expression had become serious. And when she said that Lyon was almost attacked, Angel's face turned black instantly.

"Then, how is Lyon now?" Angel asked hurriedly.

"The Viscount is fine. He sent us out of the manor the next day. Some servants were also placed nearby. Only a part of the people were left in the manor, including the Viscount." Seeing that Angel's expression was getting darker, Jin Cancan hurriedly said: "Master Pat, the Viscount came out a few days ago. According to him, with the protection of Lord Xiuyis, he should be safe."

Should? Temporarily safe?

Angel would not allow these vague words, and nodded to Jin Cancan: "I know. Grandpa Parsha, you take Jin Cancan back first."

Jin Cancan's eyes flashed with panic: "Master Pat, are you still going to go in? Don't, the Viscount said that night is the most dangerous time!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Angel smiled at Jin Cancan, then looked at Sanders and asked if he wanted to go in now.

Jin Cancan also noticed Sanders on the other side at this time. When she saw Sanders, her expression was stunned. She didn't know about the others, but she had seen Sanders, and Babaya once said that Sanders was called the God of War in the South Region and was a super powerful wizard!

Thinking of this, Jin Cancan's hanging heart finally began to ease.

If it was Master Sanders, perhaps, he could really solve the crisis of Pat Manor.

On the other side, Angel was still waiting for Sanders to say something, but suddenly, Sanders turned his head and looked in the direction of the manor.

"She's coming."

Angel followed Sanders' gaze and saw a red light suddenly flashing in the depths of the manor.
