Chapter 825 Tragedy and the Girl

The spring was bright and beautiful, and the midday sun was soft and warm. But the scene in front of him made Du Lu feel cold.

He had seen smoke rising before, and thought it was human habitation.

He drove the gondola over to see that it was indeed human habitation. At the source of the smoke was a small village outside the forest, but there was no living person in the village at this time.

Dozens of houses had been burned out by flames at this time. The fire had disappeared, leaving only smoke.

As for the villagers.

Du Lu looked at the mortal corpses hanging on the wooden stakes outside every house, and his eyes flashed with shock and anger.

The men's corpses had all their limbs chopped off, cut into human sticks and inserted on the wooden stakes. The women were naked, and their stomachs were cut open and piled up randomly. What made Du Lu feel the most chilling was that the corpses of children were everywhere, both men and women, their clothes were all taken off, and their bodies were dirty.

There was no living person, all of them were corpses with great resentment.

Some people's eyes had not even closed yet, and before their pupils dilated, the look of resentment and curse had not disappeared. Du Lu was horrified when he saw it.

He had seen dead people, whether it was a corpse that was only left with the head after being gnawed by sea beasts, or a soldier who was cut into pieces on the battlefield; he even saw a ghoul that was feeding in captivity in Baibeihai City.

But no time had he felt so angry in his heart.

He squatted in front of a house that had been burned to a black charcoal frame, and in front of him was a boy's body that exuded a fishy smell. His eyes were not closed, looking at the sky without a soul, his pale cheeks were covered with ashes from the burning house, but there was a white line from the corner of his eye to the auricle.

Du Lu could even imagine the scene at that time, the boy silently shed tears before his death, his tears passed the corner of his eyes and fell on the auricle, leaving this light white line.

Du Lu panted heavily and reached out to touch the boy's eyes.

"Go to sleep, you will be happy in another world." Dulu muttered softly, and as his palm stroked the boy, his eyes closed.

"The worst thing in the world is the human heart." Angel stood behind Dulu and sighed softly, "From a certain perspective, humans are actually beasts. They think they have understood their true selves and are superior to beasts; but sometimes they do things that are even more cruel than beasts that follow their primitive instincts."

Dru's eyes were filled with anger: "Sir Pat, do you know who did it?"

"I don't know, the fire destroyed all traces."

Dru was silent for a moment, "Sir, can I bury them? It's cold in spring, and the corpses are exposed. They should be very cold."

"They are already dead." Angel wanted to continue saying that after a person dies, there is no soul, no spiritual light, and the corpse is just a useless skin. Moreover, they have nothing to do with you.

But he didn't say what he had not finished, just nodded and let Dulu do it.

He could guide Duru on how to face the winter of the wizard world, but he didn't want to interfere too much with Duru's choice of good and evil camps and how to behave.

Perhaps, in the future, Duru will become a black wizard or a white wizard. When he recalls this experience, will he be disgusted or sigh? Or laugh at himself for being too stupid at that time?

Angel stood quietly aside and did not interfere with Duru's actions.

He was willing to let Duru spend time doing this, in fact, because he was a little homesick. Before returning to the old land continent, he wanted to fly back immediately. But the closer he was to his hometown, the more he felt timid.

The village was small and there were not many people.

Angel threw Duru a hoe that he was smelting, and it took him half a day to dig a big pit.

When Duru covered the soil, it was almost dusk.

Duru held a handful of white flowers in his hand, placed them in front of the big pit, and stood silently for a long time, until the sunset dyed his pupils light red and the evening breeze rolled up the petals, he walked to Angel and apologized in a low voice.

"I wasted your time because I was too willful."

"Whether you are willful or not, wait until you really step into the wizard world, and then you can judge for yourself." Angel turned around first and took out the gondola: "Let's go, before the night falls, find people and ask for the current location."

After returning to the gondola, Du Lu was obviously more depressed than before. After a long silence, he suddenly asked: "My lord, will wizards also do such a thing of massacring a village?"

"Yes." And it's more cruel than you think.

Angel's answer made Du Lu's eyes flash with a trace of sadness.

"Wizards are also human beings. No matter which class they are in, human bad nature will be manifested accordingly. It's just a whitewash or explicit difference." Angle paused: "However, because the class gap is too big. Wizards are like clouds and mud to mortals. Therefore, if mortals do not provoke wizards, wizards will not deliberately deal with mortals. This is the default rule of the wizard world. After all, the backbone of wizards must be born from mortals."

"On the contrary, mortals have no burdens and are keen on internal struggles."

The topic ended here. Dulu took control of the gondola and continued to move forward into the interior of the continent. Angle leaned on the side of the ship, looking at the distant mountains and forests dyed red by the sunset, with nostalgia in his eyes.

Angel originally planned to find human habitation before nightfall. But unfortunately, when the night stars rose, they did not find any traces of living people.

"It seems we are going the wrong way." Angel yawned: that small village should not be an independent village, there must be a town nearby, so they chose to walk along the road outside the small village of.

However, the small village finally led to the mountain forest, and there were no fixed trails in the mountain forest, so they chose a direction at will. Unexpectedly, they flew nearly a thousand miles without seeing any trace of human beings.

"Then do we want to return again? If we drive at full speed, we will arrive soon." Dulu asked. In order to find human traces, they flew very low and very slowly, so it took them a long time to fly such a short distance.

"It's up to you."

Dulu thought for a while and decided to go back and choose a new direction in the previous mountain forest.

But just as he was turning around, an orange-red light suddenly appeared in the dark forest in the distance.

"Fire light? Is there anyone still in the forest at night?" Dulu suddenly remembered something: "Could it be that he is a forest guard?"

Thinking of this, Drew immediately drove the gondola and flew to the light of the fire.

When the flying boat landed, it was discovered that he was not a so-called forest guard, but a young girl wrapped in an animal skin and shivering in front of the bonfire.

Their landing filled the girl's eyes with fear and a hint of curiosity.

She had never seen a ship that could fly in the sky, and the ship was so beautiful, which made her curious about their identity even as she was frightened of the visitors.

Drew jumped out of the boat first, jumped onto the big tree, slid down the trunk, and landed in front of the girl.

"Don't be afraid, we are just..." Dulu thought for a long time, and finally an idea flashed: "Traveler, we are traveling travelers. I won't hurt you, I just want to ask for directions."

Drew's words did not resonate with the girl. She still looked at Drew warily, while holding the package in her arms with one hand and waving a dagger with the other.

"Okay, I'm not going there, so why don't I just ask here?" Dulu sighed: "Where is this place? How far is it from the nearest town? Which direction should I go?"

Dulu's question made the girl pause for a moment before she slowly spoke: "I don't believe you, go away immediately! If you want to find people, just go over there..."

The girl pointed to the southeast.

"Is that direction a town? What is the name of the country we are in now?"

The girl stopped answering, just hugged the package and stared at Drew fiercely.

Duru didn't know what to do. Why, was he going to deal with a woman? When we were at a loss, Angel's voice came: "Dulu, come up."

Dulu was stunned for a moment, then climbed up to the treetop and jumped on the gondola.

Angel was looking at the girl below, and the girl looked at Angel not to be outdone.

Angel chuckled softly, dropped a black object from his bracelet, and landed straight towards her.

The girl was startled, thinking that the other party was planning to plot against him. She was about to run away, but she found that her body was suddenly restrained by a strange force, and she saw that the black thing was about to hit her in the face.

She screamed in fright.

But after a while, she found that nothing fell on her head. She took a sneak peek and saw a white fluffy fur floating in the air, then slowly wrapped around her body.

The warmth enveloped her instantly.

At the same time, her body was able to move. She raised her head to look for the flying boat in the sky, but it had disappeared.

On the other side, gondola.

Dulu asked curiously: "Why do you suddenly care about that girl?"

"As a man, when you see a trembling lady, shouldn't you be more gentle?" Angel raised his eyebrows.

"Uh... I just think your behavior seems a bit inconsistent? Could it be that this is the one you like?" Dulu murmured in a low voice.

Angel said angrily: "Didn't you see that the girl is pregnant with a child? Judging from the size, she is probably about to give birth. In this deep mountain and forest, and it is so cold, this is the only way I can help. Some."

"Pregnant with a child?" Dulu was stunned. He recalled the previous scene and found that the other party had indeed been covering his belly. Her belly was swollen at that time, and he thought it was a package, but it turned out to be a pregnant woman!

Thinking about it this way, her cautious behavior just now made sense. After all, she is a pregnant woman, so it is normal for her not to want others to get close to her.

"But what's a little strange is, why would a pregnant woman appear here alone at this point?" Dulu asked doubtfully.

In fact, the strange thing was not just what Dulu said. Angel could hear the accent of the girl just now, which was a very orthodox Golden Bird noble pronunciation. Judging from the delicateness of her skin and the piercings in her ears, this girl was most likely born into a noble family.

It is rare for a noble girl to be in such a state of poverty.

However, Angel had no intention of exploring.

When Duru was still mumbling about the strangeness, Angel said softly: "Just go to the southeast where she pointed and you will know."

Angel had not forgotten the hatred and anger that flashed in her eyes when she was giving directions.

Angel estimated that the girl was using them as gunmen. There might be her enemies in the southeast, or people who were chasing her. However, it didn't matter to him, he was just asking for directions anyway.
