MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 70

A few days ago, the messenger soldier went with the order "don't hurt the wizard", and returned with the feedback of "not a single hair was found". An Xu thought about it, and let Jane lead the team to stay there, fearing that it would take too long after he triggered the condition, and let the pharmacist run away.

Of course, she didn't think the pharmacist had left, not because she found any clues, but purely out of unreasonable affirmation: a hidden NPC had clues but couldn't find them, and there must be some conditions that hadn't been met. Now that the plague incident has been triggered and the emergency measures have been completed, An Xu came to Honghe Village confidently to pick up the pharmacist.

The scene in Honghe Village was different from what she had imagined.

All nearby traffic arteries were cut off, and a large area of ​​the bottom of the mountain that An Xu climbed last time was burnt bare. It is said that it was to prevent the wizard from turning into a bird and running away. The general brought half of the expanded frontier army, and the densely packed army surrounded the small village in full armor.

The last time I saw this kind of scale was when An Xu and the new abbot first arrived at the border, the border army gave them a blow. Later, Jane confessed that the elite team brought out for the show put on all the equipment that the entire frontier army could see. Now that Thunder Castle is becoming more and more prosperous, the army's armor is brand new, and their weapons are sharp. The recruits and veterans saw the gods in the sky, and they showed their energy one by one. This directly caused the villagers who were summoned by them to be surrounded. Zhan Zhan, like a rabbit surrounded by hounds, is about to pass out.

"You're here, Ann!" Jane showed an expression of acknowledgment, "Although no wizard can be found, not a single flea has been able to escape these days!"

An Xu watched the scene in front of him silently, and suddenly had a subtle sense of déjà vu.

Jane had already turned back, glanced at the trembling villagers, and threatened: "The favored one has come, do you want us to force you out, wizard?"

An Xu remembered where the sense of sight was.

Isn't this the image of the devils besieging the village in the anti #Japanese drama? ! The Taijun has come, and if you don't hand over the Communist Party, you will start killing people? Who told you to keep someone like this? ! We are teachers of justice! An Xu roared in his heart, thinking that he had seen the system information, which said [Hidden NPC's favor towards you has dropped to disgust].

"Didn't I say, don't arrest the wizard, please stay and wait for me..." An Xu said weakly.

"Yes, I 'please' everyone to stay." Jane sneered at the villagers, then blinked at An Xu.

...No, this sister, "please" without quotation marks, don't wink at me! It's not my idea! I feel that everyone's hatred has been drawn on me, how can I break it?

Andy gave up. Now that this kind of misunderstanding caused by the absence of tone annotations and facial expressions in the letter has been powerless to correct, it is better to focus on the moment.

She turned around, pointed at the villagers gathered here, and raised her voice and said, "Please don't be afraid, this is just a misunderstanding!"

…Why do the lines sound like villains?

An Xu coughed to resolve (his) embarrassment, and said straightforwardly: "As you all know, there was a plague in Fort Thunder. The epidemic area was isolated, and many people thought that the epidemic area should be separated from the living people inside. Burned, but I didn't! That's useless!"

She originally wanted to use the method of suppressing first and then raising it, and then used a few words to popularize science that purification is just a superstition, and then turned to find the reason for the pharmacist who was rumored to be a wizard, but An Xu didn't have time to say it. The days-long search and siege of the village, the act of gathering everyone together without explanation, coupled with the last straw, finally pushed the nerves of the villagers to their limit.

"The wizard must be burned!" A middle-aged man suddenly screamed, "I knew it! We shouldn't let him live nearby! It's all the village chief's fault!"

The person next to him kicked him, and he lay on the ground, crying hysterically. This collapsed person was like a hole in the dam. The crowd who had been silent just now became noisy, and all kinds of panicked excuses and whispers continued.

"I don't know, I don't know anything, it's none of my business..."

"We don't have wizards here at all, my lord the favored one!"

"I shouldn't have..."

"Where's the kid? The wizard's kid! None of us have ever seen a wizard but him!"

"You heartless Dalmatian! If it weren't for his medicine..."

"That's an ordinary widow, we don't know any wizards..."

"It's wrong!"

"Shut up!" Jane roared, and the soldiers swiped out their weapons, and the blades forced everyone to stop abruptly. Only the middle-aged man who was almost crying was still crying loudly: "Now he's going to kill everyone! We're going to be burned to death instead of him!"

Only the ellipsis with a length of several kilometers can express Anxu's mood.

If the atmosphere just now was cold and cold, now it has entered the cold winter, and even Anxu himself suspects that there will be a massacre next. She forced a friendly smile (making more villagers recoil in horror), and was about to explain.

The almanac for this day must have written "Today is not suitable for speeches", and another voice interrupted An Xu.

"I think it's me you're looking for."

The crowd split into two halves, a one-meter-wide path was exposed in the middle, and there was a person standing in the middle of the road. No one noticed when that person appeared here. He was wearing a long cloak with a black cloth covering his head to his feet. At first glance, he looked a bit like a holy man with reversed colors.

The man in the cloak nodded slightly at the favored man and the general at the other end of the path, and just walked over Shi Shiran, with his footsteps clattering. An Xu noticed a pair of silver metal boots exposed from the hem of the black fabric. She looked curiously under the cloak, and when the other party approached, she realized that there was a silver mask under the cloak.

"Are you a wizard?" An Xu asked.

"It's me." The masked man said calmly, "Let's go."

"What?" An Xu was a little stunned, thinking that the recruitment conditions were too simple, right?

"Aren't you going to take me back to Thunder Castle?" The masked man glanced at An Xu—maybe he glanced at An Xu, since the eyes of the mask are also gauzes made of silver thread, so he couldn't see clearly from the outside Where did it fall. An Xu could only tell that it was a man, about the same height as Jane, with a nice voice, but he always felt that he could hear the attitude of "you stupid human beings".

"It's true..."

"Then go." The masked man said impatiently.

"Okay!" An Xu replied quickly.

There's nothing wrong with simple conditions! In short, recruit first, and gain favor in the future. She quickly cheered up, told Jane to let everyone close the team, and then went to the masked man to try to gain a good impression.

"What's your name?" She asked with great interest, trying to look between the silver wires to know which kind of dialogue would increase her favorability. The masked man ignored her, she moved a little closer, and suddenly a boy rushed out from among the villagers.

The guards around Jane immediately restrained him. An Xu looked aside and found that it was the boy who had taken her up the mountain before. The green-eyed boy gritted his teeth and stared at An Xu fiercely, as if he wanted to pounce on her and bite her. He opened his mouth to say something, but An Xu was still puzzled when the masked man suddenly walked over and kicked the boy.

It was a very hard blow, the boy was kicked and rolled on the ground, his head was smashed. The masked man came back as if nothing happened, and said to An Xu, "Let's go."

What do you mean? An Xu was inexplicably a little nervous. Is this a reminder that the NPC has a bad temper? If the favorability can't be improved, he might kick the boss like this? No, it's okay, I'll be fine when I fly! And once I return to Thunder Fort, my superb equipment and charisma will definitely clear up the misunderstanding quickly, and easily increase my favorability.

The teenager kept casting hateful glances behind them.

Then Anxu discovered that if you go from Honghe Village to Thunder Fort, the first gate to enter Thunder Fort is directly facing the burning frame, which is burning blazingly because of sufficient fuel (rats).

The atmosphere was so menacing that dripping water turned to ice, An Xu swallowed, and swore he heard a sneer from under the mask.
