Chapter 195 The Desire to Eat
"Lady Helena has already left. If everything goes well, they should arrive at the Royal City in a few days. Uncle Calder is receiving punishment and reward in the Wheat City, while we are transferring the ordinary people..."
"Accept punishment and reward?" Colin interrupted and asked curiously as he walked towards the third employee's position.
"Well, he protected Lady Helena from danger and most of the nobles and civilians in the city. His merits are enough to become a first-stage 'Knight of Virtue'. However, the town was razed to the ground. Although he is not primarily responsible for this, he cannot avoid it..."
The warden's nephew gave a general account of the situation over there and explained the current situation in the town.
Those legions that possessed terrible power left around the eighth day. When they left, the town once again appeared before everyone's eyes, deeply shocking everyone who saw it.
The warden's nephew seemed to recall something terrible. He looked at Colin with awe and his words were filled with palpitations:
"After it was reopened, everything was reduced to dust. The entire city was completely flattened, and a large pit several kilometers long and nearly a hundred meters deep appeared. The bottom of the was full of magma. In addition, it became a magic-free area. Magic power could not flow in it. If someone like me gets close to it, I will even be turned into an ordinary person..."
And there was a small episode in this. He thought about it but still didn't say it out. When the adults in the "City of Wheat Ears" first heard what happened here, they said on the spot that they would expel all factors that were unfavorable to the kingdom and put pagans like Colin on trial.
To this end, a powerful expedition team was organized and quickly rushed to the shattered town.
However, when they arrived here and saw the remaining aura of the huge tiankeng, the captain of the expedition team and everyone else suddenly fell silent. Then, looking at the terrifying tiankeng, they changed their tone and said that maybe they had misunderstood...
Just by looking at the fact that those people ignored the idea of helping ordinary people, we know that they are definitely not bad people and their moral character must be guaranteed.
And let Calder tell him to have a good relationship with Colin and others to avoid unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings between the two sides, so as to avoid destroying the hard-earned friendship between the two sides, etc.
…
Wow, did they fight so hard? When the "First Legion" fought "0-09·Hunger", they didn't drop nuclear bombs, and they dropped them repeatedly...
Colin was also very surprised when he heard this, and wanted to go and see if the situation there was as exaggerated as this guy said.
At the same time, he couldn't help but think of the former employee who was sacrificed in the church.
"What level is this guy? How could he be qualified to come here with '0-09·Hunger'? Also, what on earth was he doing here? What happened to him that made him die so miserably..."
Colin frowned secretly. He now realized that things in this world were becoming a little complicated.
However, he did not ponder on this matter any further. He gathered his thoughts a little and focused his attention back to the present. He knew that what he should do first was to bring the third employee back to the church.
Let her register first, so that even if she dies, she will be resurrected from the bonfire sacrifice point, and she will not descend randomly in the future.
"By the way, sir, where are we going now?" The warden's nephew suddenly noticed something was wrong.
Why does it feel like we're getting further and further off track?
However, just as he opened his mouth, Colin raised his hand to interrupt the warden's nephew, looked forward, and took a deep breath.
He could feel that his third subordinate was about an inch ahead, and there were also many refugees next to him, but these refugees were unfamiliar, and there was a strange smell among them.
Colin had a strange expression on his face. He didn't know whether the body his subordinate got when he came to the other world was female or male, but when he thought of some possible things, he quickened his pace a little.
Because no matter your gender, if you have bad luck in this damn place, your fate will not be good.
…
In a stone village that has been abandoned for who knows how long, a girl named Vanessa, dressed in simple white church clothes, kneels on the ground with glowing hands, concentrating on trying to heal a woman lying on the ground.
The woman looked pale, thin, and had multiple injuries. It seemed that she was not going to live long.
The white light shining on her didn't have much effect.
And around the two of them, there were many people who watched silently, hoping for a miracle to happen.
However, after a while, the holy white light suddenly disappeared. Vanessa weakly withdrew her hand, looked at the woman lying on the ground and sighed: "Sorry, I..."
Through her ability, she could roughly determine that the woman's organs on the ground were ruptured and failing, and it would be difficult to save her with her ability.
At this time, only those flesh and blood sages with special channels have a small chance of healing her injuries.
Her "light" could only prevent the wound from festering and rotting, and make Tywell's condition a little better...
"Please, you must save Miss Tawell. If she dies, we will be finished. The head of the family will not let us go..." Several men who were standing here changed their expressions and spoke in horror when they heard this.
They had finally escaped from the "Monster Disaster", but now they might be buried with the young lady because of her death.
This is hard for them to accept...
Vanessa looked at them and opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't say "I can't do anything". Instead, she said, "I will do my best. I will protect her life. As long as we get to the City of Wheat Ears, then... cough cough cough..."
Before she finished speaking, she couldn't help coughing a few times.
"Are you okay?"
"No, I, I might need a break, sorry."
Vanessa left the house without caring about anything else and went to a small house some distance away. When she closed the door , she seemed to finally be unable to hold back and coughed a few times. She covered her mouth with her hands and blood flowed from between her fingers.
At this moment, she suddenly became much weaker and looked like she would collapse at any moment...
After Vanessa left, several servants of the Tawell family in the house all looked desperate.
They had already felt that Miss Taywell could not hold on for much longer, and that they were almost doomed...
At this moment, one of them suddenly showed a ferocious look, with abnormal bloodshot eyes: "We have no choice but to join the Devouring Festival. If we don't do this, we will die."
"But, to join the 'Swallowing Festival' one must hand in a sufficient amount of blood food. Do we really have to attack Sister Vanessa? She has helped us a lot. If it weren't for her, we would probably have all been demonized..." A servant hesitated, as if he was not very sure about the original plan.
"So what? Without our help, she, a nun from the Church of Light, would not have been able to escape even if she was a Beyonder. When the young lady was attacked, she was right next to her but did not try to block it. With her physical fitness, how could she not have blocked it?" someone said resentfully.
"It is because of her selfishness that we are forced to join the 'Swallowing Festival'..."
A servant holding an axe echoed, "Yes, it's all her fault! Now we just need to let her make up for it! And if we hand her over, maybe we can get a share of her, get a taste of her, and get rid of the status of a slave forever!"
When he mentioned the nun of the Church of Light, he couldn't help licking his dry and bleeding mouth, and a strong desire emerged in his eyes.
A strong desire to eat.
