After listening.
Looking at the two groups of tribesmen who were ready to compete for the position of clan leader, he was already about 70% convinced.
If the clan leader were still alive, they would never dare to fight to the death.
In the spirit of seeing the person alive or dead, the new bishop ran to the roof and carefully examined the thin layer of blood and mud on the stone floor and the broken limbs scattered around.
Serving size for two people.
After carefully scanning the surroundings with his mental power and making sure that the heretic was dead, he turned and went downstairs, told the two groups of people in a solemn atmosphere, "No fighting is allowed in the city," and led the fanatics back to the church.
But he didn't notice that shortly after he left, half of the meat paste on the floor of the rooftop platform disappeared out of thin air.
The tribesmen who are eager to compete for the position of clan leader will not care about such a small matter.
By the time they remembered to collect the body of their family leader, the hungry birds had probably already completed this troublesome task for them.
……
hostel.
As time passed, there was still no sign of Zhang Mu, and Frederica became a little uneasy.
Unable to bear it any longer, she ran out of the room and sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, clutching a white button in her hand, her eyes fixed on the door.
You never broke your promise to me, you'll be fine, right...
Frederica's face no longer had a smile on it, but she didn't look anxious either, and she looked normal.
But her constantly shaking pupils showed that her heart was not as calm as she appeared.
After a while, Sardari and Aili also came down the stairs.
Seeing Frederica sitting on the sofa, they were a little surprised, but then they took it for granted.
Quicken your pace and sit next to her.
"Your Highness." Sardari consoled him, "Mr. Zhang Mu is not a reckless person, please rest assured."
"Yes, Your Highness." Ellie also agreed, "After Mr. Zhang Mu has settled the matter here, we can travel together to Sol..."
"Bam—"
The faint explosion that could be heard in the hall stunned the three of them.
"Someone is releasing magic and knight skills in the city?"
Although it is not considered fighting in the city if you don't use magic or knight skills to attack others, generally no one is idle enough to cast magic for fun in the city.
If your enemies seize the opportunity, they will directly hit you with magic. The church will not bother to investigate whether someone is framing you.
"No, that's not right." Comparing the curiosity and shock of the two elves, Frederica stood up in panic after hearing a familiar explosion. "It's Zhang Mu, it's Zhang Mu's tool!"
Shouting, she rushed out of the door and ran madly towards the source of the sound. Sardari and Ai Li looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, and hurriedly chased after her.
"What is the tool?" After running behind Frederica for more than ten minutes, Ellie asked Sardari curiously.
"I don't know." He shook his head, his mind slowly sinking to the bottom of the valley, "Whatever the tool is, the sound is coming from inside the city..."
"Boom--boom--"
"Zhang Mu!"
The two elves were awakened by Frederica's grief-stricken screams and the continuous explosions.
His head instinctively turned to the front, his eyes shooting towards the tall building in the distance where the noise was coming from.
On the rooftop platform under the cover of night, a familiar figure and another unfamiliar figure were blown to pieces by the flames.
The footsteps slowly stopped.
That distant light that flashed for a moment seemed to explode deep within their hearts.
Ellie's hand loosened unconsciously, and the wooden staff she was holding slipped and fell to the ground: "Are you kidding?"
Chapter 92: Frederica Finds the Direction
The figure who had left a deep impression on my heart even though I had only known him for a short time was blown into pieces before my eyes.
Frederica fell to her knees helplessly, supporting herself on the ground with her hands, her long emerald green hair covering her face.
Behind them, Sardari and Ai Li, who had finally woken up, walked over in small steps.
"Your Highness, please..." Ellie said with a tearful voice.
"I know." Frederica's tone was no longer as cheerful as before, and there was no emotional fluctuation at all.
She stood up slowly, expressionless, looked at the rooftop platform in the distance for a while, then turned around and walked towards the hotel.
"Your Highness." Sardari took out his long sword and round shield, "You and Aili go back first, I'll go get Mr. Zhang Mu's body..."
"It's pointless, Sardari." She turned her back to him. "He's already dead."
The pain is not violent, but like a trickle of water in a mountain stream, it flows silently in the heart, but it does exist.
"Go back to the hotel."
"But Your Highness..."
"I said, go back to the hotel."
The air was silent for a moment, and Sardari slowly lowered the round shield he raised to his side: "As you command, Your Highness."
"Don't be sad." She seemed to be talking to the two elves behind her, or as if she was talking to herself, "I will wipe out the magic family in Bala City."
The voice was calm, but the content was chilling.
"Magic families usually don't leave the city with their entire clan. If we want to kill everyone, we can only do it inside the city. If we do that, the church will become our enemy." Sardari lowered his head.
"Then, including the church."
She uttered the words neither lightly nor heavily, then raised her foot and walked towards the crowd of citizens who had run out of their houses to watch the excitement.
The two elves didn't ask any questions and followed.
They passed the man at the front of the crowd, who was wearing simple linen clothes and had short blond hair, and squeezed into the crowd and walked away.
The man had an ordinary appearance and was in his thirties.
Like everyone else, he looked at the three rare elves.
But compared to them, there is no curiosity or novelty in the men's eyes, just dullness.
"I was just worrying about how to explain to His Highness Avril about the elves accompanying him. Now it's convenient."
Leaving the crowd, he quickly walked to the grassland outside the city, took out a crystal from the storage bag on his waist, and injected magic power into it.
After a while, a griffin flapped its wings and descended from the sky.
"It's a pity for the little guy I like. You should learn to calm down."
After jumping onto the griffin's back and standing firmly, he looked at the city of Bara shrouded in darkness, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart.
After a moment, he pulled the reins and flew into the sky.
……
Day two.
As soon as the day began to dawn, Frederica and her group packed up their belongings and checked out of the room at the bar.
Then they went to the market and bought a carriage. The three elves drove the carriage out of the city and headed towards Kas Town.
They were not in a hurry and did not whip the horses hard, allowing the two horses pulling the carriage to trot.
It took them a day and a night, and they arrived at the forest west of Kas Town at sunrise the next day.
After tying the carriage to the tree trunk, Frederica walked in front, followed by Ellie and Sardari, and moved deeper into the cave.
About an hour later, the three elves arrived at a small open space covered with weeds, with several thunder wolf skeletons lying scattered on the ground.
This was where she and Zhang Mu met for the first time.
The breeze that caressed my face that night, now, is still a bit like that.
Recalling that night, Frederica glanced at Zhang Mu who was leaning on her ear, and she wanted to laugh unconsciously, but she couldn't.
I silently thought to myself - weeds can't move around like me, and trees can't draw their bows and arrows like me...
I kept repeating it for a long time, but it was no use.
The witty remarks that seemed to have magical power in the past and could make me smile as soon as they were said, now have no effect at all.
He raised his palms to his chest and opened them, looking at the white button lying quietly in the palms of his hands.
After a while, she took out a silver necklace from the storage bag, passed it through the button hole, and put it on her fair neck.
She stood there silently, holding the button pendant tightly against her chest in her right hand.
"Zhang Mu, I still don't understand why you are unwilling to wait until you are strong enough, and then come back to easily deal with the magic family in Bala City."
"But Frederica, who had been confused, found her direction."
She recalled every detail of her growing up.
It seems that the most common thing people say is - I don’t know.
I don’t know why the tribesmen are fighting for the magic book, I don’t know why my mother must become king, and I don’t know why Sardari and Aili want to follow me, the crown prince who has no "ambition", to travel around the continent.
Similarly, no one knows why Zhang Mu insisted on going to die.
The hand holding the button pendant slowly exerted force, as if this button was her heart filled with sadness and slight pain.
Hold it tight, maybe it will feel better.
Exhaling deeply, she walked forward a few steps, squatted down, and stroked a weed.
Her memory has always been excellent. The location of this weed is where Zhang Mu stepped on that night.
The weeds that were trampled will grow back to life, but the dead will never be resurrected.
After a while, she stood up, turned her back to the two elves and said, "I want to return to my tribe and become the king of my tribe."
She wants to destroy the magic family in Bara City, and the church is an obstacle.
Therefore, a strong force is needed.
