The scalding heat wave swept in, charging outward again and again, but they all fell under the plain piano case.

The light and shadow of purple flames are reflected in the window lattices. Even if they are several meters away, the hot wind is still like magma, making people sweat profusely.Even Sean couldn't bear the blazing heat of quasi-forbidden-level spells. The guards in the distance were already red from the baked skin, and they gritted their teeth to barely stand.

Wei Li's face was calm, and he held the piano case firmly with his wrist, like a general holding a shield high.

If there is no piano case, I am afraid they are not just as simple as red skin.

Those who joined in the fun had already dispersed like birds and beasts at the moment when the flames shot up into the sky, and avoided each other.At this time, the street was empty and deserted, only the sound of flames burning skin and flesh could be heard.A gust of wind blew from nowhere, taking away the lingering rancid smell.

The guards no longer held their breath, and took a big breath in relief.

After a while, the fire light gradually became weaker, and the gorgeous purple flame gradually extinguished, and Andrea let out a long sigh of relief.

At the foot of the wall, there was only a pile of black dregs, and even the frozen blood around it was burned to ashes.The tavern was filled with a burnt smell, although it was choking, it was much better than the previous smell.

"President," Andrea yelled, "it's done."

Sean walked in holding his nose: "Burn it?"

"Of course." Andrea nodded confidently, "Restraint is a quasi-forbidden spell, and no one can block it." She looked at Sean, her eyes sparkling, with a shyness that belonged to a girl.

Sweat dripped from Viri's forehead, his wrist trembled slightly, and he couldn't even grasp the piano case.Sean turned around, keenly aware of Wei Li's strangeness, and quickly helped him: "Is there something wrong?"

"No," Willie waved his hand and pulled away calmly, "I'll just take a rest."

He is not an orthodox mage, but a half-baked man who has learned a little military magic. With the principal's recast violin, he can barely block the aftermath of the forbidden spell.

Sean: "Okay, I'll go back as soon as I go."

He checked the tavern repeatedly, and after confirming that the pile of ashes had no possibility of re-ignition, he set off to arrange the next work, without bothering to talk to Andrea.The long-awaited guild staff took action in an orderly manner.The guards also escorted the mercenaries who had been squatting at the base of the wall to the city hall, and the mercenaries would be greeted with rigorous interrogation.

Only Vili and Andrea were left at the entrance of the tavern.

The breeze passed by, and Viri gently massaged his wrists.He lowered his head slightly, his eyebrows were handsome and soft.

Andrea looked at Viri curiously, "You are the president's old acquaintance? The guy who is known as the number one swordsman in the empire?"

"I'm indeed an old friend of Sean's." Willie quickly put on a smiling mask and politely answered the straightforward girl with a gentle and sweet voice, "As for the title of the empire's number one swordsmanship, I still can't bear it."

He took the initiative to extend his hand to show his favor: "Willi Haydn."

"Andrea Valentine," the girl looked at the smile on his face, frowned, and shook hands with him weakly, and they broke up immediately. She was very rude—even bluntly said, "You don't have to laugh so hypocritically, I know what I just said made you very upset."

"If you put on a mask and keep your mouth shut, your heart will come out of your eyes," she said.

Wei Li was stunned, and there was a crack in his always perfect smile for a moment, but soon, he returned to his previous calm appearance.

"That's not the case." He avoided the important point, "Miss Andrea."

Sean came back quickly, and Andrea was about to say something when he suddenly appeared beside the two of them.

"What are you discussing?" Sean noticed the unusual atmosphere, and looked at the faces of the two in surprise.

He knew very well that Veri was not the type to have heated discussions with strangers, and Andrea was a pampered and pampered daughter who had always been arrogant.There shouldn't be any conflict between these two.

Andrea looked at him, curled her lips, and said, "Since you're back, it's time for me to leave. I haven't finished today's class."

"It's okay, go back and have a good rest. Your magic power has been consumed a lot, so you should cultivate it early. The situation has changed recently." Sean did not doubt that he had it, and with a big wave of his hand, he agreed to Andrea's request to leave.

Before leaving, Andrea glanced back at Willie under the light.

Facing his friends, his smile seemed to become much more real, and the smile in his eyes was clearly visible.It was already late at night, and the street lamps on the street were flickering on and off, and the light fell on Wei Li's face dimly, making his facial features deeper and more illusory, as if they would disappear at any moment.

Sean said something to him with a smile on his face, which made Willy laugh too.

Andrea snorted softly and muttered in a low voice, "Pretending man."

……

The guild's cleaners have poured into the tavern to clean up.On the way, someone came out with a wooden box and asked Sean what to do with it.

Sean pointed to an open space on the steps: "Put it there first, and you can go in and do your work."

The cleaning staff walked away immediately after putting down the wooden box, walking easily, as if shaking off a hot potato.

The wooden box on the steps is very small, only the size of a palm, without any decoration, it is extremely simple.Under the dim light, it is dusty and inconspicuous. If you are careless, you will probably ignore its existence.

Viry: "The ashes of that skeleton?"

"Well, I'll take it to the city hall later," Sean frowned deeply, "and interrogate the people in the tavern to tell them what happened in the tavern."

The refugees are in good order for the time being, and no changes can be seen.Their temporary residence area has also been cordoned off, and guards are patrolling throughout the day. Xiao En is still not at ease, so he simply recruits a group of low-level mages to join the inspection team, and uses the magic beast crystal core as a reward to ensure that the refugee area will not appear. riot.

What happened in this tavern was not deliberately blocked. When the guild employees came in and out, rumors were flying all over the street.After the tragedy, there were not a few people who had seen the skeletons. The whole of Fast City knew that there were living people who had directly turned into skeletons.

For a while, there was a lot of noise on the street, and the mercenaries who were keen to hang around the flowers in the tavern also stopped a lot.

Viri pondered for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth about the scene he saw earlier.

"There's something I didn't tell you."

"what's up?"

"While I was standing alone in the tavern, I heard footsteps."

"Footsteps?"

"Well, you passed behind me, but when I looked back, it was you standing by the door," Willie said affirmatively, "I definitely heard you right, although the footsteps were soft, they must have been there. "

Sean was also lost in thought: "You mean, this thing must be man-made?"

"It should be." Immediately afterwards, Viri unhurriedly threw a blockbuster I bomb, "I also know that skeleton, the robber I killed before, he can't say he's alive, and he can't say To die, it is more appropriate to describe it as a living dead."

Sean was shocked.

town Hall.

When the tavern skeleton incident happened, all the mercenaries present sat down obediently and were questioned one by one.

When Sean and Willie stepped into the interrogation room, they saw two groups of mercenaries strangely. One group was trembling, with trembling calves; Taste--obviously he was severely interrogated.

At this time, a tall and thin mercenary came out with a gray face and joined the army with despairing eyes.

Viri couldn't help but look up at the inner room.

To his surprise, the interrogator turned out to be Mason.

The handsome butler smiled all over his face and directed the people around him to write down the content of the interrogation.The clerk wrote furiously, and the feathers almost turned into shadows. Mason bowed his head and said something to the clerk, then straightened up and called out, "No. 13, come in."

The trembling No. 13 mercenary swallowed his saliva, carried the number plate, and walked into the inner room with small steps.

With a bang, the inner door was closed, and the expressions of the mercenaries who had been interrogated coincidentally turned into gloating.

Viri couldn't help asking again: "Who is your housekeeper?"

"Probably not a person," Sean replied sincerely, adding, "racially speaking."

A few minutes later, the door of the inner room opened, and No. 13 mercenary came out with a gray face and joined the army with despairing eyes.

Willie: "What the hell did he suffer from?"

When Willy made a sound, Mason was finally willing to give his eyes to Master Lucas outside the house.

"Master, are you back?" Mason walked calmly and gracefully. He pushed open the door and brushed back the blond hair hanging from his chest.The lights in the room were as bright as day, and Mason's long, light-blond hair that was almost white was even more eye-catching. His exquisite facial features were too beautiful to be possessed by humans.

The mercenaries who had been interrogated seemed to have seen a scourge, and couldn't help shrinking aside, wishing to stay away from this person.Those who have not experienced it have obsessed eyes and lean forward, wanting to get closer to him and see more clearly.The very different reactions on both sides made the scene funny for a while.

Sean is used to seeing this face, and his expression is as usual: "I'm back, did you find anything out of the interrogation?"

"There's some useful news," Mason said, "and about the refugees."

"The result came out today?" Sean was surprised.

Mason's eyes fell on Willy who was on the side, and he said euphemistically: "It has something to do with Mr. Haydn's hometown."

"Fryer?" Willy heard, his usual calm disappeared, and a sudden anxiety swept his body. He asked, "What's wrong with Flair?"

"Some of the refugees came from Fryer," Mason said. "They left Fryer because there was a lot of undead there."

Twenty years after the war, it was enough for Fryer to return to his former self.

Viri's memory of his hometown is still the scorched earth after the curse, but after recuperating, Fryer has turned back into the beautiful town full of flowers before.Spring is the season when flowers are in full bloom, and many customers go to the town to buy flowers, and the tragedy happened when the flowers were in full bloom.
