Release that Witch - Chapter 681

[Chapter 672 The Name of a Hero]
Yorko finally listened to Hill’s advice, and left Glory City in a carriage under the afterglow of the curtain slowly falling.
??
The driving guys are all under Hill’s subordinates. I heard that they were also members of the acrobatic troupe. After transporting slaves with the caravan several times, they already have a well-thought-out route for the evacuation.
The speed of the convoy didn’t slow down until the sun went down completely, but even though the land was shrouded in darkness, they insisted on carrying oil lamps and continued marching for more than an hour before setting up camp in a remote wilderness.
The vehicles formed a circle around the bonfire. The young man who claimed to be a clown skillfully fetched water and cooked porridge. The tall and strong man Yanshan fed the horses. There were also magicians who were in charge of guarding and patrolling, and Qiao Mu who dug and set simple traps. Brother…it’s more like an army than an acrobatic troupe.
Yorko found that he didn’t need to do anything, and the delicious barley porridge was already handed over to him.
Besides that, there was a plate of bacon and an apple.
He finally knew why Hill chose to deliver these things.
Even if the group of them had to spend a month or two on the road with two full loads of food, these so-called “sell goods” were enough to meet the needs of all members.
But being able to load the food into the car so quickly, could it be that he was always ready to escape from the Dawn Kingdom at any time?
And according to Qin Wei, he still maintains contact with the Black Street Mouse all the time, my God… is this guy really just an acrobat?
Yorko was determined to ask his old friend for clarification when he returned to Graycastle.
The guys consciously carried the porridge to the outside of the carriage, only him, No. 76, and four witches remained beside the campfire.
“I’m sorry for my words and deeds last time,” Annie said generously, “You did not hand us over to the Lord of Dawn, but I still can’t fully trust you.”
“Why?” Mia asked puzzled, ” He doesn’t look like a bad guy.”
Yorko blushed a little because he didn’t look like a bad guy, he had never thought of himself as a good guy, but luckily the light from the bonfire could cover it up for him, “Ahem, I think maybe Because Miss Anne still doubts the purity of the Graycastle Witch Organization?”
“Purity?”
“For example, some powerful nobles often secretly raise a few witches for fun—”
“This is just one aspect,” Anne interrupted, “as long as there is unilateral deception and use, no matter whether it is In Wolfheart or in Graycastle, witches are both a cage, and there is no essential difference. Of course, if it can be confirmed that the witch organization in Graycastle is indeed as you said, I will formally apologize to you.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Yorko shrugged. “My task is to send you to His Majesty Roland. After that, this matter has nothing to do with me. Even if you want to apologize, you may not be able to see me.
” Stiff, only the crackling of the campfire.
Normally, he would never let the chat into a stalemate, but he really couldn’t get excited about this group of witches, which not only disrupted his peaceful life as an ambassador, but also brought a lot of risks to the envoys—be careful It can’t be said that the calculation is wrong, but when the suspected person is replaced by himself, this feeling is not so easy to let go.
The last one to break the silence was No. 76.
“Are you all from the Kingdom of Wolf Heart?” she asked, “I heard from Mia that you have known each other for a long time.”
Annie nodded, “Although we were not born in the same city, but…you guessed it right.”
” Wolfheart has been annexed by the church. You must have gone through a lot of hardships when you fled all the way to Chenxi.” No. 76 leaned over and touched the hero’s empty trousers, and asked in a low voice, “Her legs are also in the process of fleeing. Did you get hurt by someone from the church?” The
hero bit his lips tightly, showing a sad look, and lowered his head.
“It was cut off by the person she was guarding,” Annie’s answer was unexpected. “She stood up at the most critical moment in Wolfheart City, but what she got in the end was people’s hatred.”
“The person being guarded Hurt?”
Annie nodded, “If you want to know, I can tell you, but that is not an easy story.”
No. 76 looked at the hero for a moment, and replied seriously, “I think learn.”
Although Yorko pretended to concentrate on eating the bacon, his curiosity was also aroused.
“A year ago, when the church army attacked Wolfheart City, they threw a large number of plague-infected corpses into the city in an attempt to weaken the capital’s resistance, just like what they did in Broken Tooth Castle.” Annie threw herself into the bonfire Filled two branches and splashed sparks, “But this time the evil plague did not spread, it is due to the hero’s ability. She can transfer the disease to other living things, thus preventing the spread of the disease.”
“What kind of Living creatures?”
“Rats, cats, dogs, cattle and sheep are all fine…of course, people are also included.” She said slowly, “The city residents have dug a big pit in the slums, and people infected by the evil plague will gather here Come, let the hero transfer the disease to the animals, and then throw the animals into the pit and burn them. Slowly, people regarded her as the savior of Wolf Heart City, and began to call her a hero. Mia and I also received her treatment ”
But the good times don’t last long. A large animal can restore five or six infected people to health before death, while cats and dogs can only accept one or two transfers. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com plus the church repeatedly Spreading the evil epidemic, even if the wolf-hearted people catch all the living things that can run and burn them in front of the big pit in the slums, it will not be able to meet the needs of every patient.”
“As the war continues, they target the living .”
This sentence made Yorko shudder.
No. 76 moved to the hero and gently hugged her into his arms, “It’s not your fault.”
And Annie’s expression was extraordinarily dignified in the uncertain light of the fire, “Of course it’s not her fault. At the beginning, those people did not give her the right to choose. The first to be thrown into the fire pit were prisoners, prisoners and volunteers, and later, they became the elderly, wounded soldiers and prisoners of the trial army.”
“But the hero did not agree to those The lunatic’s request, especially in the face of soldiers who don’t want to die and underage surrenders, she is unwilling to do anything anyway. So people’s attitude towards her changed, and even secretly rumored that she was in collusion with the church, obviously an enemy, But to save their lives. The savior became a traitor, and the hero was imprisoned. If she hadn’t used her ability, she would have been sent to the gallows long ago.”
“Afterwards, the church made a comeback and broke through the city wall of the royal capital in just one day. When the city was broken, the guard who had been treated by her cut off her legs with an axe, and then set fire to the cell. It was the collusion between the hero and the church that led to the destruction of Wolfheart. She has nowhere to go, and the traitor should be destroyed together with the city in this cage of flames.”
Speaking of this, Annie paused, “But the guard The author did not expect that the person who rescued the immobile hero was the prisoner of the Judgment Army who was also locked in the cell.” 8
