Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

On the top of the mayor's house is a clock tower, which is much smaller than the clocks they saw in the Blackstone Fortress, but this small clock is enough to cut through all the noise in an emergency and let the town People in the city heard it, and according to the different bells, they knew whether they should take up arms and fight back, or quickly dragged their wives and children and hid in the cellar with valuables.

But there is a problem here, they still have [-] newly arrived soldiers in the grain depot, no matter how elite soldiers are, it is impossible to resist the power of nature.

"Is there no cellar under the grain store?"

"Yes, but it's used to store meat, live people go in..."

"I can't live long, I understand. We have to bring them to the mayor's mansion, right?" Under the mayor's mansion, there is the largest cellar in the town, which seems to be for unified protection in case of an attack. Women, children, and the wounded.Zhou Lingke didn't have time to go down to see it. After all, who would have thought that he would encounter such a situation within a few days of coming here?At least according to the introduction of the old guard Martin in front of him, it cannot be called a cellar at all, but should be a mini dungeon, enough for 500 people to go in and hide safely.

"Will it be dangerous for them to hide in the granary?" Xia En just came back after moving things down, but although they did what the locals said, it didn't mean that he understood why they did it (in fact, Zhou Lingke also so).Although it was a snowstorm, and the wind was very strong, and even the window bolts were broken, but that could be repaired, wouldn't it be enough to hide in the room afterwards?

"I've been through eleven snowstorms, my lords." Martin spoke slowly and calmly, but fear was undoubtedly seeping from his expression, "That's not something created by people or manpower We can only survive under the protection of the earth. Now you may not understand what I mean, but believe me, when the storm passes and we come out of the ground, what you see will prove what I say now .”

"So, we just have to get them here."

"What are you doing! Let me go! Oh...that despicable..." This was the voice that Huojiete made when he was transferred underground under the "protection" of two stout women, but everyone could ignore it.

"I can't go out now." Xia En frowned. "When I came here, I took a look at the door. The visibility was only about one meter. What fell from the sky was no longer snowflakes, but ice particles."

"We can't get out, but there's a guy who can. It's the outer buildings, probably in trouble. Hey, don't sleep, Pie." Zhou Lingke patted the hairball on his shoulder.

"Meow meow~"

"It's just... I'm going to sleep for about two days."

"What happened, I felt the magic wave when you summoned the beast." When Xia En and Zhou Lingke went down, they saw McCree standing next to the ladder, wearing fur clothes and a hat with a pompom. A cute nightcap, wearing a pair of thick fur slippers that also have pompoms on his feet - seriously inconsistent with his usual image.

"The soldiers I arranged in the granary, the local guards said it was not safe enough, but in this situation, only war beasts can take them over." When Zhou Lingke delivered the pies to the door, it was only a few minutes away from Xia En looking out The time interval, the ice particles outside have turned into hailstones the size of ping pong balls.If a living person is active outside, the only ending is to be stoned to death.

"I don't understand..." McCree frowned.

"Although it can only be used once every ten days, but I am here, and the beast will not have much effect, so I think..."

"No, no, you misunderstood, Master Nick. I'm not questioning your approach, you did it very correctly. What I don't understand is, why did they choose such a place for you to build the magic tower? Unless some extremely Special circumstances, otherwise this natural natural disaster is also a huge disaster for the magic power tower."

"Indeed..." Zhou Lingke and Xia En looked at each other. It's not like they didn't think about it because they were busy moving, but they didn't understand the customs and habits of this world, so they quickly ignored this point. Until now, by McCree brought it up.It seems that it's not that they don't understand, it's that this is really unreasonable.

"Ah!" Zhou Lingke suddenly covered his head and let out a scream, which shocked everyone present. Xia En hurriedly supported him, and McCree stood by the side helplessly, and could only keep asking "What's the matter? What's the matter?" ?”

After about ten seconds, Zhou Lingke, who was so painful that he couldn't straighten his back, slowly recovered: "What's the matter... Hit the pie."

"Is there something in the blizzard?" Xia En asked in surprise, and the ears of the guards who were still moving things also pricked up.

"I don't know." Zhou Lingke shook his head, but although the headache was relieved, the matter was not over yet, "I'm freezing to death, as if someone poured ice water on me." Trembling, he subconsciously burrowed into Xia En's arms.

"Ice bucket challenge?"

"That's one barrel, I have a lot of... hiss! Buckets." His teeth began to chatter, and he bit his tongue.

Half an hour later, the entrance of the mayor's house was guarded, so that Martin, who was leading the way for the soldiers, yelled that someone had arrived. About 45 minutes later, Pie was the last one to get into the passage, and the thick partition of the cellar was covered. superior.

"Meow~~~"

"Don't go in yet, you're wet." Regardless of Pie's resistance, Sean grabbed the cat and wiped it dry with a clean cloth, turning it from a soaked cat into a cat The cat with fried hair even sneezed, "Okay, it's ready now."

Although Pie had many opinions on Xia En, when it was placed next to Zhou Lingke, these opinions were immediately forgotten by it, and it got into Zhou Lingke's arms at the fastest speed, with its small back arched , pressed against his chest, closed his eyes, smashed his mouth, and seemed to yawn.

"It would be nice if you could talk." Xia En touched Pie's head, and was almost bitten by the grumpy Meow.

Zhou Lingke got a super powerful cheating device, and also got a huge cat war beast, but this doesn't mean that all of these are without side effects.He fell asleep shivering with cold, during which Xia En could only pour some porridge mouth to mouth. It was not until two days later that Zhou Lingke regained consciousness. At the same time, they were finally able to get out of this underground world.

There are three exits from the cellar of the mayor's house. The first one is the one they entered, and the other two are far away from the town, and they are used as escape tunnels in times of crisis.The other two exits are not needed now, and they took a lot of effort to reopen the wooden door at the old entrance. Snow and ice poured down from the hole in an instant, covering the heads and faces of the two people who opened the door. .Two of the strongest soldiers and Martin, who was most familiar with the outside world, were the first to go out. Many people were waiting under that door, but apart from the glare of the ice and snow making their eyes sting, they could do nothing. Can't see either.

A quarter of an hour later, Martin and one of the soldiers came back, and it was clear that the cold was not the only cause of the same ugly look on their faces.

"God...god...I've never met..." Martin looked terrified, there was nothing to ask from him.The soldier seemed much calmer: "When I first went out, I thought we had found the wrong entrance, because the outside is almost flat. And I think, for a long time to come, we will continue to live underground."

This "almost flat" description made everyone a little puzzled.But when they walked out by themselves, they quickly solved the doubts.

The tunnel entrance of the mayor's house is opened in the kitchen. The kitchen is of course on the first floor, but now the clock tower on the third floor and the second floor that is mainly used for living have completely disappeared. Walking out of that door first What I saw was an extremely clear blue sky, and then there were a few broken walls, traces of the flue that could barely be found, and ice and snow about 1.5 meters high.Climb to the high snow and ice, and go out, what you see is more ice and snow, white, flat and even smooth, which is dazzling under the sun's rays, but where should the streets be, and more importantly, the houses?All covered under the thick snow.

"I don't think that all ordinary people can come out of the cellar by their own strength." Zhou Lingke was wrapped in thick fur clothes, and a head of Pie popped out of his collar, but quickly shrank back , cats clearly dislike the cold.

"I agree." Xia En nodded, "We have to organize soldiers and dig them out from house to house."

"You can't go door-to-door, start with the residents with more old people and children." Zhou Lingke licked his lips, nervousness and worry made his throat feel dry, "I don't think those people's cellars will be the same as the tunnel under the mayor, fully equipped."

"By the way... Suffocate, we have to hurry up!"

"You organize the manpower, and I'll handle the logistics." Zhou Lingke is still head-heavy now, and he decided that it's better not to add chaos to this kind of race against time.

When the two of them went back, everyone agreed with the suggestion to save people. Five guards, a cook, three maids and a few handymen in the mayor's house were four families. They lived in the mayor's house while serving the mayor. In the house, of course, they hid in the tunnel when the blizzard happened.They are locals and are familiar with everything here. Through their explanations, they can quickly draw a sketch of the town.Then came the rescue. Fortunately, they had a flame mage here, who could clear the way faster and find the people who should be rescued.

Zhou Lingke organized people to lift the cauldron and boil spicy hot soup to keep out the cold. He simply knocked down the dangerous walls that once belonged to the mayor's house and erected a thick-skin tent for the army. He also used the bonfire to warm the tent inside. Yes, for those who might be saved, and for those who go to save others.

"I'll leave for a while." Everything is almost on the right track, everyone is busy with their own affairs, Zhou Lingke said to Price - McCree followed the soldiers out to open the way, and the second in command here became The old civil servant is gone.

"You're going..." Price was taken aback, obviously disapproving of Zhou Lingke's leaving at this time, who was not feeling well.

"We're short of hands, and I think I can find some... hands."

"Eh! I understand. But I think we'd better send someone to protect you. Please don't refuse. No matter how short of manpower there is, one person can squeeze it out."

Five hundred soldiers sounds like a lot, and Sopota Town is just a small town.But 500 people scattered into the small town and soon disappeared.Besides, even though the wind and snow have stopped and the weather is still good, it is still too cold outside. Soldiers, no matter whether they are demihumans or ordinary people, are not made of iron. In the cold, they will get injured, get sick, and feel more fatigued. .There are too few people, even if the call for help has been sent up, no one knows when the reinforcements will come.But the survivors below the cellar are also waiting, even Zhou Lingke can't believe that some of them have died...

Zhou Lingke walked in the direction that should be outside the town. When the pie became huge two days ago, it must have sucked up the surrounding bones. He couldn't summon anything in the town, so he had to go further.Both Zhou Lingke and his temporary bodyguards were on snowshoes, which was no different from tying a tennis racket under their feet, but at least they would not sink their feet deep into the snow.

"The war beast was really only summoned by your own strength?" This is not a question, but an exclamation. It comes from the young soldier named Billy who is supporting Zhou Lingke - he is obviously a talkative person ,"incredible!"

"Thank you for the compliment, I think this distance is enough." Zhou Lingke signaled that the other party didn't have to continue to support him, it was a bit too hard, and his arm was hurting.

"Need me to leave?" Billy looked excited.

"No need." Zhou Lingke thinks it should be unnecessary. Anyway, he is only the simplest and most basic summon, although he hasn't done this for a long time, and he is not sure whether he can summon the second skeleton soldier. "Strange, why not?" Movement?" Zhou Lingke squatted on the ground, he was sure that just now, his connection with the second summoned creature has been confirmed, something more in his mind, it is below...

"Meow——!!!" Pie, who had been huddled in his arms, suddenly rushed out. Zhou Lingke turned his head at a loss. After dropping it, the cat's lithe body didn't sink from the snow, it stretched its limbs, its hair exploded, and it made an unbelievably loud growl at Billy compared to this small body!

What also couldn't be ignored was that Billy held his sword in his other hand.

"I thought I could let you go on the road in peace, Master Nick." There is no doubt that the young soldier who was noisy just now has become a cold-blooded killer.

And what should a mage do if he is approached?Run away to distance yourself?

"Don't run away, Master Nick, my sword is fast, and you won't feel pain." Billy smiled and raised his sword, approaching step by step towards the mage who was having difficulty even walking, but suddenly ...

"what--!"

With a sound of "whoosh", Billy disappeared from Zhou Lingke's eyes, leaving only half a scream and a deep snow hole, he was pulled down by "something"!
