"Yeah." Potter walked into the house, "Let's pack up when we get back. You guys go to the town entrance first, and we'll set off when I get over."
Avril and Zhang Mu agreed, turned around together, and rushed towards the town gate side by side.
Chapter 38 I Won't Wear It
The stars and the moon are bright, and there is no human voice around.
Walking on the street with Avril, Zhang Mu lowered his head and thought aimlessly.
The original plan was to kill Charlie and run away, leaving Porter and Avril behind, but things developed beyond his expectations.
The two of them stood by him regardless of the consequences, and it would be a lie to say that they were not moved.
Zhang Mu didn't even quite understand why.
After all, the three of them had only known each other for a month or so. Although he had not had a deep understanding of the church's deterrent power, he had already thought about committing suicide just because of the so-called oracle spoken by the mayor.
This can be seen from Charlie's enhanced martial arts and power words.
It would be a lie to say that he was not moved by what they had done. That was why Zhang Mu was a little anxious.
Once something happens, Porter and Avril will inevitably be implicated.
Zhang Mu felt irritated and understood why in a moment. He was too weak, still too weak.
We need to speed up the improvement of our magical power.
At the same time, Avril, who was walking beside him, glanced at his furrowed brows and felt uneasy.
After a while, she came back to her senses from the shock and finally remembered the white fireball that Zhang Mu released when he destroyed the body.
Avril is not stupid, she is very smart.
After just a moment, I realized that it was an improvement on the Fireball Technique.
Because she was smart, she chose not to ask, even though her curiosity was about to overflow from her chest.
She believed that Zhang Mu was not hiding the truth out of stinginess, and that he would tell her when he could.
Returning her attention to her surroundings, Avril suddenly discovered that even among magicians, her junior was exceptionally handsome.
Of course, she had seen many people with outstanding looks, but it was not this that attracted her, but...
His eyes were not tainted by desire.
It’s not that there isn’t desire. How can a person not have desires?
But Zhang Mu's eyes made her feel that Zhang Mu was controlling his desires rather than being controlled.
People will be infected by beauty. Avril's peripheral vision unconsciously turned into a sidelong gaze at him, with tranquility in her eyes.
After staring for a while, her heart, which had been entangled in worldly troubles, quietly relaxed a little.
Her eyebrows and eyes curved, and she thought to herself, what beautiful eyes,
I just looked at it for a long time, and I felt an inexplicable beating in my heart.
For Avril, this feeling was a very fresh experience, somewhat strange, but not ignorant.
She had seen many couples in love, and the frequency of their mental fluctuations seemed to be not much different from her current one, extremely chaotic and disordered.
She forced herself to look away, her expression looking strange.
Love? Me?
Never mind... I still have a lot of things to do, and I might die somewhere someday.
Junior, he still has a long way to go and I can’t accompany him forever.
the most important is……
Avril's expression became even more strange. The junior was not someone who would be attracted by simple beauty. He might not have any ideas about her. He seemed to have some very unique hobbies.
When they were together on weekdays, Zhang Mu rarely looked at her. Seeing that Leah couldn't take her eyes away was a strong proof of her guess.
Demi-humans... Suddenly, she remembered some rumors that Mora had told her.
I heard that some shops sell strange and obscene jewelry...
hiss--
As she thought deeper about the jewelry, some indescribable images suddenly emerged in her mind. Avril took a deep breath and her mental fluctuations became more and more chaotic.
So much so that even Zhang Mu, who was lost in thought, noticed it.
kindness?
Zhang Mu looked up at his senior sister in confusion. What happened to her?
He didn't know Avril's magician level and he had never asked, but it wouldn't be low because Zhang Mu had never sensed her mental fluctuations.
This means that the other party's mental strength is at least one level higher than his own.
But at this moment, one could clearly feel Avril's mental power emanating in chaos, and a cold air gushing out of her body.
Worried about the church?
What's so annoying about this? If they really come, I will just go with them. I can use the resurrection function to fake my death and escape. Can the church still cause trouble to my senior sister and teacher?
Zhang Mu gave a comforting smile: "Senior sister, don't worry..."
"I won't wear it!"
"what?"
Avril was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She jumped a few steps to the side of the road and shouted.
This violent reaction confused Zhang Mu. What was going on?
"Uh, Senior, what are you talking about?"
Avril quickly calmed down, looked around, and realized that it was all her imagination.
In silence, she pretended to be calm and walked towards the town entrance: "Nothing."
"Are you really okay?" Zhang Mu hurriedly followed her and asked worriedly as he looked at her slightly reddened tender earlobe.
"You can discuss anything with me..."
"It's okay!" The cold tone rose slightly.
"Oh."
Zhang Mu rubbed his face and wondered what was wrong with his senior sister. She hadn’t used this kind of cold tone in her voice since they had dinner together and washed dishes that day.
On the way back, Avril pursed her lips tightly. Zhang Mu felt that she was in a bad mood and did not say anything.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the town gate.
"Bishop Hagrid, you can't do this!"
It was the mayor's voice, loud and with anger in his tone.
The two looked at each other and ran over quickly.
The grassy field outside the town gate.
The residents of Kas Town were crowded together, surrounded by six men wearing light armor and with long swords with silver hilts on their waists.
Common knowledge popularized in Avril's classroom - believers in the church who wear armor are classified as high-level believers, and they have a unified name to the outside world: fanatics.
Zhang Mu recalled what he had learned while he and Avril quietly approached two people who were arguing fiercely on the right side of the crowd.
One was the mayor, his knuckles of his clenched fists were white, and his beard was shaking from his heavy breathing.
Opposite him was a man dressed similarly to Charles. He should be the bishop of a branch of the church in another city. His rank was not low, as could be seen from the four six-pointed stars embroidered on the collar of his white robe.
Charlie's robe was so white that there was not a speck of it.
The two of them said they were arguing, but in fact the mayor was being threatened unilaterally.
"Bishop Hagrid." The mayor's face, which was exposed outside his beard, turned red with anger. "The monsters may attack Kas Town at any time.
You forbid the townspeople to evacuate. If there are massive casualties, who will be held responsible? "
Hagrid glanced calmly at the shivering townspeople: "They can use magic or knightly skills to hunt down monsters."
"What nonsense are you talking about..."
"In short," he interrupted the mayor's argument, his eyes cold, "no one is allowed to leave until the heretic is found."
The mayor wanted to say something when a fanatic wearing light armor came running from the town gate.
"Bishop Hagrid." The fanatic came up to him, his face burning with anger, "The word of truth on the statue was indeed activated, Charlie is missing,
Judging from the battle scene in front of the bedroom door, the bodies should have been destroyed, and no heretics were found. "
Hagrid's eyes were filled with murderous intent and solemnity.
The Word of Truth did not kill the heretic. It should be because Charlie was too weak and lacked vitality, so he failed to exert its full power.
Hagrid shouted: "Everyone, line up and accept the interrogation of the truth gem!"
Chapter 39 What is the First Magician of Lake Kingdom?
In the moonlit forest outside the town, the loud howls of wolves echoed.
The mayor was very angry. Hagrid's actions were killing the lives of the townspeople.
The town of Cass is not big and is remote, but there are more than 2000 townspeople. Hagrid and his men interrogated them one by one using the Truth Stone, and it would take them a whole day and a night to finish the interrogation.
And monsters could attack at any time. Even if Hagrid and his men were outnumbered and could not defeat the terrifying number of monsters, it would be easy for them to escape. But the ordinary townspeople should not think of escaping.
Taking a deep breath, the mayor said solemnly: "I know who killed Bishop Charlie."
The seven fanatics who were busy taking out the truth gem for lie detection walked indifferently towards Hagrid who was ready to interrogate him personally, and looked at him at the same time.
Hagrid returned to face him, wanting to release a holy light bullet to kill him directly for daring to conceal the heretic's whereabouts.
But he didn't do that, and he was still needed to provide clues about where the heretic had gone.
"explain."
"He's hiding in a cave in the forest north of town."
