Chapter 263: An Uninhabited Town
Princess Chariot, who was driving towards Mofan Town, suddenly closed the window, and then strange sounds began to come from inside.
Even though the window was closed, the half-carriage of maids walking beside the car could still hear a little sound.
At the strange little sound, the maid blushed.
"Really, princess, why did it start in the car?" She listened carefully and couldn't help complaining.
Other people who were close by were more or less aware of the movement in the carriage. Most of them showed contempt, while some covered their heads helplessly.
Fortunately, they were already familiar with the princess's behavior. No one came to spoil the fun, and the group just pretended that they knew nothing.
The knight leader who led the team quickly organized the team to let everyone enter the city, hoping to quickly find a place to stay and rest in order to stop such ridiculous behavior.
But then the soldiers who were exploring the way came over and said that the city gate was locked and no one answered.
The knight commander and the people around him immediately felt unhappy. Although they came to marry on their own initiative, they were not something that a border town could despise.
"Crack open the city gate, then find the best house among them and let them vacate it."
After several soldiers hit the city gate together, there was a cracking sound.
Several people pushed open the city gate and found that the wooden pile behind the door had broken and fell to the ground.
"Hmph, but the city gate was locked just after nightfall. No wonder it is a barren town on the border." The soldiers looked at each other proudly, one person ran back to return to his life, and the rest were responsible for opening the way in front.
Only the guide who had lived in Mobei City for several years was a little confused.
"In my memory, Mofan Town seems to be quite lively. Why did you 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 cooler. , he couldn't help but touch the chicken skin on his arm, thinking about whether to add some clothes.
But soon this uneasiness spread throughout the entire team from the guide alone.
As we walked along the quiet rural road, we were all arrogant at the beginning, but gradually turned into uncertainty.
They looked left and right, trying to catch a living person.
But even when we walked to the center of the town, we didn't see a single living person.
"Something's wrong. Go and have a look in the room on the roadside. Even if someone falls asleep, drag them out!" The
knight commander finally couldn't hold back anymore and ordered the soldiers around him to go find someone for questioning.
Although these soldiers were also a little nervous due to the strange and silent atmosphere in Mofan Town, when everyone acted together, courage could still flow from their chests.
They shouted, pushed and used the most violent method to knock on the door of a house and break in.
However, after the last soldier entered, the door to the room suddenly closed, startling the people standing on the street.
And as the door closed, the noise of those soldiers just disappeared.
After waiting for a while, there was no sound from inside the house, nor were the soldiers coming out.
Everyone who was startled by the strange sound of the door closing just now looked at each other and began to worry.
The knight commander asked the guide beside him, "Are you sure this is Mofan Town?" "
It is here, absolutely right. I also saw the name on the city gate." The guide knew that the atmosphere here was so weird. If he goes the wrong way, his life will be in danger.
Mayor Qi naturally saw the name on the city wall, but he was so uneasy that he couldn't help but confirm it again.
"Let me ask the wizard."
There are two first-level apprentices in Mofan Town. Once something happens to them, something strange may happen.
But the knight commander thought that there was a third-level wizard apprentice in the team, and he was somewhat convinced.
He pulled the reins and rode towards the low-key carriage at the end of the team that no one dared to underestimate.
"Sir, there is something wrong with this town. Could you please come down and check it out?"
After saying that, the knight commander immediately dismounted and went to the other party's carriage, preparing to help people get off personally.
However, he waited for a long time and did not hear any movement in the carriage.
"Master Wizard?" The knight commander couldn't help shouting again.
But there was still no response in the carriage.
The knight commander was completely troubled by the silence. He no longer cared about offending the other party. He stepped onto the carriage in two steps and opened the door.
However, there was no one in the carriage.
"Ho...ho..."
The candle lamp in the carriage was still burning steadily. A piece of parchment was spread flat on the small table, the quill fell to the ground at some point, and the delicate lambskin rug was splashed with a little black ink.
But there was no such arrogant wizard apprentice.
The knight commander rushed out of the carriage at an even faster speed, pulled the driver by his collar, and threw him to the ground.
"Where's the wizard?"
The coachman was also trembling with fright 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 reply tremblingly: "I don't know. Before entering the city, my lord asked me where this place was, but after entering the city, my lord never spoke again." The knight commander asked the people around him again
, Did you see the wizard coming out?
But everyone's answer is no.
"Everyone! Turn around immediately and leave the city immediately." The knight climbed onto the horse in a panic, holding the horse's belly firmly, and quickly rushed to the princess's carriage.
"Your Highness, please sit tight. We need to get out quickly. Something is very wrong here."
The knight commander felt that he was so nervous that he was incoherent, but there was still a continuous sound in the princess carriage, as if the two people inside had not had enough fun.
He couldn't bear it anymore, turned his head to the side, and pushed open the weak car door.
“Ah——ah————”
The knight commander did not look into the carriage, but the maid on the side couldn't help but glance at it, and then this glance frightened her so much that she screamed repeatedly.
The extremely shrill female voice seemed to pierce the eardrums of the knight commander, making his blood surge. He could no longer care about anything and turned to look inside the car.
"Ah!"
Seeing the scene in the carriage, even the usually mature and steady knight commander couldn't help but exclaim.
He only felt that his legs were shaking and could no longer bear the weight of the armor on his body.
With a "bang" sound, the knight commander fell to the ground.
The princess in the carriage did not disappear, or in other words, she changed into another form.
The gorgeous and complicated palace dress still leans on the seat with an elegant posture.
But the person holding up this skirt has turned from a beautiful woman into swollen blood blisters.
When the carriage door opened, the maid and the knight captain screamed twice, alerting 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 or hair, so it was hard to tell whether it was turning its face away or away.
When it started to move, the blood bubbles all over its body rubbed together, making a faint sound that made people blush and heartbeat.
The numerous blood bubbles located on the head opened a gap.
"Help..."
However, the voice calling for help has not yet reached his throat.
The countless blood bubbles that made up the human form seemed to have reached their limit, "Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!" bursting one by one.
The blood-red liquid rushed out of the bubbles and gathered into a blood-red stream. It first dyed the supported skirt red, and then soaked the carpet of the carriage red.
When the carpet is saturated and unable to absorb any more liquid, these blood-red streams begin to disperse in all directions.
A small amount of liquid dripped outwards along the cracks in the car body.
More red liquid poured toward the car door.
"Crash-"
At this moment, the knight commander seemed to hear the sound of the waves.
"Run..." he said softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the red water on the other side.
The knight captain pushed himself up, turned around and ran towards the car door where he came from.
He no longer cared about chivalry, nor the responsibilities on his shoulders, nor the ordinary people in the team who were already full of fear and confusion.
He just wanted to escape.
More and more red water flowed out of the carriage, and the entire carriage was overwhelmed and shattered into countless pieces with a crash, being carried by the water and rolling around.
