"These are the wizards. The wizard will check your bodies carefully and cooperate with me." Naxi, the eldest son of the city lord, stepped forward and gave instructions in a gentle tone to prevent the people inside from bumping into the noble man. "Lord City Lord, please forgive me. We really didn't mean to hurt anyone. Lord City Lord, please spare our lives." After hearing his words, he glanced at the apprentice in the wizard's robe again. Someone in the cell was frightened and quickly begged for mercy, and others followed suit. Beg for mercy. Naxi's eyes widened and he looked at the civilians kneeling on the ground in disbelief. City Lord Simons was also very embarrassed, with a thorn in his back, and wanted to drag out the person who took the lead in begging for mercy and whip him. "You all shut up!" Simmons brought the situation under control with an angry shout. Only after Simmons' comfort and suppression did this group of people agree to undergo inspection and questioning. Subsequently, the people in the cell were examined and questioned one by one. The situation was similar. There were no lines on their heads or other obvious features. However, they did appear to be crazy and would violently injure or beat people for no reason. thing. Most of them went crazy more than once. When not sick, they look like normal people.
Heidi and others conducted multiple tests on them, including foreign particle screening and blood collection screening, but nothing abnormal was found. After coming out of the cell, the apprentices looked at the demonized beasts killed by Swamp Forest City and found that there were incoherent line patterns, more or less long or short, but it was difficult to find useful clues from them. City Lord Simmons was afraid that they would turn around and leave, so he suggested: "Your Excellency Heidi, you might as well stay in Swamp Forest City for a few days. According to what has happened in the past, new situations will arise soon. What do you think?" "no problem." Heidi glanced at the others and did not refuse the city lord's request. At her request, the city lord arranged two larger adjacent houses for them, one for the enchanting team and one for the hunting team. Although the two teams arrived together, their tasks were different. "Heidi, I will take people out of the city tomorrow to check to see if there are any traces of energy leakage." Wolban said. He prefers an old laboratory nearby. Once found, it will not only solve the problem, but also bring about other problems. Harvest. "Okay, leave the city to us." Heidi nodded in agreement. After the two apprentices who led the team settled on the rules, the two teams moved into the large house prepared by the city lord. The next day, according to the agreement between the two, Heidi led the people from the enchantment team to explore the city. Each person visited an area to see if there were any unusual energy fluctuations. Yiwen was assigned to the north of the city, which was an area with more poor people. He did not let the people sent by the city lord follow him. The houses on both sides of the street are one-story low. The lower part of the house is made of bricks and stone walls, only one meter to two meters long. The upper part is made of wood, and the roof is made of bark, soil and withered grass. The streets are not very tidy, sewage is dumped randomly in front of the houses, and excrement can be seen occasionally. Despite the successive incidents in Marsh Forest City, a small number of people still came out to seek a living. When they saw him in a wizard's robe, no one dared to take another look at him and hurried away. Ivan didn't care. To be honest, detecting energy fluctuations in this way is like finding a needle in a haystack, unless one of them is extremely lucky. He walked leisurely on the street, and when passing by, he casually called out to an old man sitting in front of his house. "Sir, the old man has always done his job and hasn't done anything bad." The old man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, making Yi Wen's face look blank. Was he so scary?
"Old man, let me ask you a few simple questions. Is anyone crazy around here?" "No, no, absolutely not. I heard that there were some in Kushui Street. They were caught by the city lord and imprisoned in a water prison. They have nothing to do with me at all. It really has nothing to do with them." "Where are the livestock?" "According to the Lord's order, we will kill them all. If you don't believe me, you can search the house. What I told is the truth. Please let me go." After asking several questions in a row, but unable to get anything out of them, making himself feel as if he was being tortured to extract a confession, Ivan let go of the old man who had never dared to look up at him. He came to another neighborhood and found nothing special. At the corner of the street, he noticed someone staring at him. He followed his gaze and saw a ragged little boy looking at him secretly. He looked like he wanted to get closer but didn't dare to get close. It turned out to be a little beggar about ten years old. Ivan waved to him, and the little boy walked over quickly, lowering his head and not daring to look at him. "Aren't you afraid of me?" "I'm - I'm a little scared. I'm hungry." Hearing the words of the little beggar, Ivan was speechless. It turned out that hunger outweighed timidity. Nowadays, people in Marsh Forest City are worried about the rising prices. It is strange that he can get something to eat. Judging from his appearance, he must have been hungry for a long time. "That's easy to say. Let me ask you, why are the people here afraid of wizards?" The little beggar thought for a while, then said bravely: "This, this - I heard adults say that many, many people died." Ivan said: "To be more specific, why did so many people die?" The little beggar whispered: "Anyway, many, many years ago, many, many people followed the wizard, and only a few came back alive. Now those people are dead." Ivan then asked a few key points and figured out the general context of the matter. Once a wizard recruited a large number of young and strong people from the previous generation in the city, two or three thousand people, for what they did was unknown. In the end, only a few dozen people came back alive, and they were people who had lost this part of their memory. Since then, information about the wizard's cruelty has been passed down in various obscure ways, and various stories of persecution by wizards have also emerged. Elders often use wizards to scare children, causing the civilians here to fear wizards from the bottom of their hearts. "Are you hungry?" "Yeah." Hearing his words, the little beggar nodded repeatedly, looking at him expectantly and timidly. Ivan suddenly had a little evil taste and handed over a nutritional potion: "Take it, if you have the courage, take a sip, and you won't be hungry after drinking it." The little beggar stared blankly at the potion in his hand. This is the wizard's evil potion, which is said to be mixed with human blood, snake venom, and owl eyes. But it smells so good! At this time, his body made a gurgling sound, and his stomach instinctively urged him. The little beggar gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, raised the potion and poured a small mouthful into his mouth. It was like eating a handful of poisonous insects. He swallowed it with all his strength. The little beggar pursed his lips, and the taste was a bit strange. Sure enough, something extraordinary was mixed in. Soon, the little beggar found that his stomach was no longer growling, and his stomach was full. He realized something, tightly grasped the glass bottle in his hand, and looked at the wizard in front of him with a flickering look. Ivan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's yours now."
He handed over the bottle cap, ignored the stunned little beggar, and continued to check along the street. At the end of the day, he didn't find any useful traces. On a new day, several people still searched separately for unusual energy fluctuations. However, after several days, the two teams failed to find any useful clues, and no accidents occurred. Things were very different from what they expected.
