The whole world is God's help

Half a month has passed since the conversation with the village chief.

Ash was also conflicted for half a month in the mood of uneasiness and anticipation.

He knew in his heart that the miraculous magic from the outside world would surely break the peace and tranquility of the village, but he couldn't control his yearning for magic.

They want to get in touch with magic at close range, but they also want magic to never infect their village.

The contradictory emotions, coupled with the bad premonition that has always been entrenched in his chest, made him feel anxious from time to time.

At this time, he would always go to the high ground, sit by the stone tower, hold the cold leaf imprint on his arm, and calm down his emotions.

This period of time was extremely quiet and comfortable.

Bathed in the thin sunlight after autumn, smelling the astringency of the grass blowing in the wind, leaning against the stone pagoda, closing eyes, the appearance of a young man dancing solo under the moonlight appeared in his mind over and over again, tall and thin, his appearance was in the light and shadow The world is unpredictable and charming for no reason.

As time passed, the figure did not fade away, but became clearer.

Ash recalled more minute details.

For example, the young man's ears were covered under the long silver hair, and the hair was only raised when the figure was spinning, revealing the moment.Those ears are different from theirs, they are pointed and thin, but the shape is very delicate.

For example, in the eyes of the young man, under the eyelids there is a circle of blue and black shadows that seem to be lack of sleep, which is especially conspicuous on the pale skin.

For example, the teeth of the young man, only occasionally when he opened his lips slightly, he saw two sharp canine teeth that were also different from ordinary people.In Ash's eyes, she was still delicate and lovely.

……

Sigourney in the distance wouldn't know, even though he didn't tell the boy's name, he still made him think about it day and night.Touching the imprint feels very reassuring.

But such a time was suddenly broken by the sudden collapse of the stone tower.

It was an early morning.

Ashe came out of the wooden house, and just stepped out of the door, he saw a stone tower as tall as a person, collapsed in an instant, turned into dust, and was blown away by the wind.

In his opinion, this is an extremely ordinary morning.The weather was fine, there was no violent storm, no lightning and thunder, and even the sun was not tepid.There were no other people or beasts around.

Only he is here.But he did nothing.

But according to the elders in the village, the ancestors of the ancestors... the stone pagodas that existed since the beginning of records, and that have stood firm through the passage of time, disappeared completely in such a non-threatening morning.

It also disappeared unexpectedly.

Ash stood there in shock, his mind blank for tens of seconds.

He suspected that he hadn't woken up from the dream, so he closed and opened his eyes forcefully, but his eyes were still empty.

Where the stone tower was originally located, there is only a circle of bare land without grass, which proves that there used to be a stone tower there.

"How come..." Ash murmured, walked to the original stone tower in disbelief, and even stretched out his hand to touch it, only to catch the wind full of hands.

"... Really gone."

He took a step back in shock, and immediately remembered something, and ran towards the village.

His heart was beating fast, unprecedentedly fast, violently as if it was going to burst out of his chest.

The anxiety reached its peak at this moment.

He storms into Derek's house.

"The tower is broken!" he yelled at Derek. "The tower is gone!"

The stone tower that accompanied him for 16 years like his father and mother disappeared without warning.

When Ash said this sentence, his brain finally received this reality, his throat choked, and he could no longer speak the following words.

No, there are signs.

Isn't the anxiety I feel these days a sign?

Ash was emotionally agitated, and in a trance, he and Derek went to the village chief and went to the highland to check.

Confirmed: the stone tower has indeed disappeared.

Derek was shocked: "It's really gone!"

"Is it a warning?" Fan En was thoughtful. "Speaking of which, the stone pagoda has existed for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the patron saint of our village... So, is there anything going on recently?"

Even though the two of them didn't have the mysterious feeling like Ash, they still felt some kind of dangerous swaying from the sudden disappearance of the stone tower.

On this sunny morning, on the high ground, the young man's eyes were red, while the two adults beside him looked more cautious as their eyes met.

At this time, they were either sad or vigilant, but they never thought that the accident happened so quickly, and they were not given the slightest time to be sad and vigilant.

It was at noon that day.

After asking for leave with Mr. Nathan, Ash, who was sitting blankly at the original location of the stone tower, first noticed——

Rapidly approaching from a distance, a huge black shadow high above the sky.

It was as if a thick dark cloud floated over Duogu Village in the blink of an eye, blocking the blue sky and casting its huge shadow down, covering the whole village.

From when Ash saw it to standing up immediately, in this short period of time, it had already approached like a ghost.

There is no need for Ash to run into the village to inform everyone.

Because everyone in the village noticed it—

"Look in the sky!"

"My God! What a big ship..."

"The boat, the boat is in the sky, the sky..."

"Is this a ship?"

"What exactly is this?!"

"Okay, it's scary..."

"Wuuu...Mom, I'm afraid..."

……

The thing in the sky has an extremely strong sense of existence, it makes the sky in the village suddenly dark, and everyone discovers it immediately and is shocked by it.

It looks like a huge ship, with tall masts, bulging sails, and oars that undulate neatly like waves.The surface is pitch black, as if absorbing all the light around it, giving it a heavy sense of oppression.

But how can a ship fly in the sky?

No, it should be said, apart from birds with wings, what else can fly in the sky?

So... what kind of existence is this?

"magic!"

Ash on the high ground and a few insiders in the village spit out this word in unison.

"They're here!"

"The wizard is coming!"

"The magic is coming!"

This shuddering thought quietly emerged from the bottom of their hearts.

"Villagers of Duogu Village." A voice without emotion rang out in the minds of each of them at the same time, "It's the first time we meet, we are the ninth wizard tower under the Scarlet Throne, the gray-robed wizard His Excellency Napton's No. Three armies."

"It is now officially announced that Duogu Village will be incorporated into my Ninth Wizard's Tower from today, and become the territory owned by Your Excellency Napton."

"From now on, you are His Excellency Napton's subjects."

"Your Excellency Napton will bring you more convenience and a better life." The voice that made people unable to feel the beauty at all continued to speak, even if the villagers covered their ears, the voice still came into their heads continuously, "We will register your identities as soon as possible. I hope you will obey the arrangement and not make unnecessary resistance."

What does it mean that Duogu Village has become the territory of so-and-so?

Since when are they the subjects of so-and-so?

Follow the arrangement?Don't resist?

What exactly is going on?What is the Red Throne?What is the wizard tower?Something that has never been heard before, just like this unimaginable black ship, it seems to have burst in from a different time and space, making people unbelievable and at a loss.

"Now, please gather at the entrance of the village, line up in an orderly manner, and register your identity."

"If anyone tries to resist, hide, escape—"

"boom!"

A stream of light flashed across the black boat, and it landed on an open space in the village in an instant, a dazzling flame exploded, and the sound of the explosion was deafening.

After the flames passed, a huge charred pit appeared on the spot.

"As a gift for meeting us for the first time, we sincerely offer our first piece of advice to you who have entered the new era—"

"No, do, try to provoke the wizard."

……

……

……

From the sound of the explosion to the sound of the black ship falling, the village fell into a palpitating silence.

Silent.

It wasn't until the first cry of a child sounded, as if it was contagious, that the village suddenly exploded, and the sky was boiling.

Some villagers ran around the village in a daze, some dragged their families back home, locked the door tightly, hugged each other and trembled at home, and some still stood there in a daze, unable to believe Facts, unacceptable reality.

"You have one afternoon to accept the registration." The voice ignored the chaos in front of him and continued, "We will pass here again at night. If there is a fish that slips through the net by then, your entire village will be like it was just now , bang—it's going to explode. Understand?"

Fann stood outside the house, looking up at the black ship solemnly.

With their meager imagination, they couldn't describe the horror of the black boat at all, so all the preparations they had made in advance seemed ridiculous in front of the black boat.

Magic is indeed like a natural disaster. When it sweeps across, they cannot avoid it, even a mantis can't do it like a cart.

"Village Chief, what should we do?"

The boys from the hunting team reacted quickly and quickly came to Fan En's side to gather.

Compromise?run away?fight?

If it is in front of a howling hurricane, if it is in front of a raging torrent, how can they choose?Whether you turn around and run away, or face it bravely, you will only end up being swallowed up in the end.

Now in the face of the natural disaster of magic, compromise is the only way out.

"Call everyone, gather at the entrance of the village." Fan En took a deep breath, his tone heavy but still calm, "Let everyone remain calm, at least, these people have no intention of harming us for the time being." Otherwise, the threatening explosion just now would not Only land on open ground.

——If it falls among the crowd, its deterrent effect will obviously be greater.

Fan En's blue eyes darkened.

The author has something to say: Ash (annoyance): Author, my heart beats fast all the time. Is it because I am sick?

Code: emmm... You will be fine if you learn magic, I promise! ! !
