Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Deserted Town

The carriage of the princess, which was heading to Mofan Town, suddenly closed the window, and then a strange sound began to be heard from inside.

Despite the closed window, the maids walking beside the carriage could still hear some of the sound.

The maid blushed in the strange and fragmented sound.

“Princess, how come it started in the carriage?” She couldn’t help complaining while listening with her ears erect.

Other people who were closer also noticed the movement in the carriage to some extent. Most of them looked at her with contempt, and some covered their heads helplessly.

Fortunately, they were already familiar with the princess’s style of doing things, and no one went to spoil the fun, so the group pretended to know nothing.

The knight leader, who led the team, wanted to find a place to rest quickly to stop this ridiculous behavior, and quickly organized the team to let everyone enter the city.

But the soldiers who were exploring the way ran over and said that the city gate was locked and no one answered.

The knight leader and the people around him immediately felt unhappy. Although they came here on their own initiative to form a marriage alliance, they were not something that a border town could despise.

“Knock the city gate open, then find the best house and let them vacate it.”

After several soldiers rammed the city gate together, there was a cracking sound.

When several people pushed open the city gate, they found that the wooden stakes behind the gate had broken and fell to the ground.

“Humph, but the city gate was locked just after nightfall. No wonder it is a poor town on the border.” The soldiers looked at each other proudly, one ran back to report, and the rest were responsible for clearing the way in front.

Only the guide who had lived in Mobei City for a few years was a little confused.

“In my memory, Mofan Town seemed to be quite lively. Why did they lock the city gate so quickly? It’s still so quiet here.”

For some reason, the guide always felt a little uneasy, and even the summer night wind became cool. He couldn’t help but touch the chicken skin on his arm, wondering whether he should put on more clothes.

But soon this uneasiness spread from the guide alone to the entire team.

Everyone walked on the quiet town road, and gradually became suspicious from the initial arrogance.

They looked around, trying to catch a living person.

But they walked all the way to the center of the town, but they didn’t see a single living person.

“Something’s wrong. Go check the rooms on the roadside. Even if someone is asleep, pull them out!”

The Knight Commander finally couldn’t hold back and ordered the soldiers around him to find someone to question.

Although these soldiers were also a little nervous about the strange silence in Mofan Town, when everyone acted together, courage could still surge out of their chests.

They shouted, pushed, and used the most violent means to knock on the door of a house and break in.

However, after the last soldier entered, the door of the room suddenly closed, scaring the people standing on the street.

And as the door closed, the noise of the soldiers just now also disappeared.

After waiting for a long time, there was no sound in the house, and the soldiers did not come out.

The people who were originally startled by the strange sound of the door closing just now looked at each other and began to worry.

The Knight Commander pulled the guide beside him and said, “Are you sure this is Mofan Town?”

“Yes, it’s definitely here. I saw the name on the city gate.” The guide knew that the atmosphere here was so strange that if he took the wrong road, his life would be in danger.

Mayor Qi naturally saw the name on the city wall, but he was extremely uneasy, so he couldn’t help but confirm it again.

“I’ll ask the wizard master.”

There are two first-level apprentices in Mofan Town. If something happens to them, some strange things may happen.

But the Knight Commander thought that there was a third-level wizard apprentice in the team, and he was a little relieved.

He pulled the reins and rode towards the low-key carriage at the end of the team, which no one dared to underestimate.

“My lord, there is something wrong with this town. Can you please come down and check it out?”

After saying that, the Knight Commander immediately got off the horse and went to the other carriage, ready to help people get off the carriage himself.

However, he waited for a long time and didn’t hear any movement in the carriage.

“Wizard Master?” The Knight Commander couldn’t help but shout again.

But there was still no response in the carriage.

The Knight Commander was completely annoyed by the silence, and no longer cared about offending the other party. He stepped onto the carriage and opened the door.

However, there was no one in the carriage.

“Huh… Huh…”

The candles in the carriage were still burning steadily. A piece of parchment was spread out on the small table, and the quill pen fell to the ground at some point. The delicate lambskin carpet was splashed with a little black ink.

But there was no arrogant wizard apprentice.

The Knight Commander rushed out of the carriage at a faster speed, pulled the driver’s collar, and threw him to the ground.

“Where is the wizard?”

The driver was also trembling with fear at the scene in front of him. He lay on the ground and didn’t even have the strength to get up.

But in order to save his life, he could only answer tremblingly: “I don’t know. Before entering the city, the master asked me where this place was, but after entering the city, the master never spoke again.”

The Knight Commander asked the people around him if they had seen the wizard come out.

But everyone’s answer was no.

“Everyone! Turn around immediately and leave the city immediately.” The Knight Commander got on the horse in a panic, clamped the horse’s belly hard, and quickly rushed to the princess’s carriage.

“Your Highness, please sit tight. We need to get out of here quickly. Something is very wrong here.”

The Knight Commander felt that he was so nervous that he was incoherent, but the princess’ carriage still made continuous and fragmented sounds, as if the two people inside had not had enough fun.

He could no longer bear it, turned his head to the side, and pushed open the not-so-strong door.

“Ah-ah-ah–“

The Knight Commander did not look into the carriage, but the maid next to him could not help but take a look, and then this one look scared her and made her scream.

The extremely sharp female voice seemed to pierce the Knight Commander’s eardrum, making his blood boil. He could no longer care about much and turned his head to look inside the carriage.

“Ah!”

Seeing the scene in the carriage, even the Knight Commander, who was usually mature and steady, could not help but exclaim.

He only felt his legs trembling, and he could no longer bear the weight of the armor on his body.

With a “bang”, the Knight Commander fell to the ground.

The princess in the carriage did not disappear, or she existed in a different form.

The gorgeous and complicated court dress was still leaning on the seat in an elegant posture.

But the person who supported the skirt had turned from a beautiful woman into a swollen blood bubble.

When the door of the carriage opened, the maid and the knight commander screamed twice, startling the humanoid monster wrapped in the palace dress.

It twisted its body slowly, as if it wanted to turn its head, but it had no facial features and no hair, so it was impossible to tell whether it turned its face to the side or the other side.

When it began to move, the blood bubbles all over its body rubbed against each other, making a blushing, heart-pounding, and fragmented sound.

The blood bubbles on the head cracked a gap.

“Help…”

However, the cry for help had not yet come out of the throat.

The countless blood bubbles that made up the human shape seemed to have reached their limit, “Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!” They burst one by one.

Blood-red liquid rushed out of the bubbles, gathering into a blood-red stream, first dyeing the supporting skirt red, and then soaking the carpet in the carriage red.

When the carpet was saturated and could no longer absorb any liquid, these blood-red streams began to spread around.

A small amount of liquid dripped outwards through the gaps in the car body.

More red liquid poured towards the door.

“Splash…”

At this moment, the Knight Commander seemed to hear the sound of waves.

“Run…” He whispered, as if he was afraid of disturbing the red water on the opposite side.

The Knight Commander forced himself to stand up, turned around and ran towards the door he came from.

He no longer cared about his chivalry, the responsibilities on his shoulders, and even less about the ordinary people in the team who were already filled with panic and at a loss.

He just wanted to escape.

More and more red water poured out of the carriage, and the entire carriage was overwhelmed. It broke into countless pieces with a splash and was swept around by the water.
