The Last Alchemist

Perhaps the gods felt that the people of Nirogard had not had enough difficulties, and it rained at midnight.

Nirogard is located in the north. In winter, the lowest temperature at night can reach nearly 20 degrees below zero. Although it did not reach this level today, it was still 7 or 8 degrees below zero.

This freezing rain really made things worse.

"Swish~ Whack~"

At first, there were only scattered raindrops, but in less than half a minute, the rain became heavier rapidly, and large drops of rain fell on the ground and soon turned into ice. It fell on the fire, making a "puff puff" vaporization sound, and after a while, the fire was extinguished by the rain.

The raindrops hitting people's faces were like steel needles piercing their bodies, cold and painful.

People desperately looked for a place to hide from the rain, but the buildings of the academy were completely destroyed by monsters, and there was basically no place to hide. Soon, most people's clothes were soaked, and the cold rain quickly took away the warmth of the body, making people feel like falling into an ice cellar.

The terrible cold and unbearable hunger were like a purgatory-like torture. People had to huddle together and lean on each other tightly, trying to keep the last bit of warmth in their bodies.

But it was all in vain.

Vincent was awakened by the cold. He finally fell asleep, but a freezing rain instantly drove away his sleepiness. He hugged his wife tightly, shivering with cold all over: "It's so unlucky. Why is it raining?"

Others woke up too. The merchant Palan's face was frozen pale, and his lips were bloodless. He trembled and complained: "This damn place, there is not even a place to hide from the rain."

Claude was the oldest, over 60 years old. He couldn't even speak after being drenched by the freezing rain. He fell to the ground, curled up tightly, like a fish about to be frozen to death.

Vincent saw it and was worried. He hurried over and pulled Claude up from the ground and patted Claude's cheek: "Hey! Hey! How are you?"

Claude was a little more awake, and he replied vaguely: "It's okay~ It's okay~ Hey~ I'm really old."

At the same time, on the other side of the ruins.

The one-eyed wolf was also awakened by the rain. He was strong, and he shivered when he was poured by the ice water. He jumped up from the ground and started to curse: "Damn God, are you going to let me live?! It's raining in the middle of the night, why don't you just drop a meteor to kill me?!"

The people around him also climbed up one after another, and they were all soaked by the rain, and they were as embarrassed as a drowned dog.

"Brother, if this continues, people will freeze to death!"

"Brother, I can't stand it anymore. I don't have anything in my stomach, and now I'm soaked like a drowned chicken. I've never been so unlucky in my life!"

"Brother, what should I do!"

The one-eyed wolf was helpless. After he cursed at the sky, he sat on the ground angrily: "What else can I do? Just bear it!"

A subordinate suddenly said: "Brother, isn't there a stone house over there? How about we take shelter from the rain?"

"Stone house?" The one-eyed wolf looked at the stone house.

In the dark night, the stone house was like a silent giant. From the window, there was a faint firelight, which meant warmth and comfortable dryness.

A trace of desire flashed in the eyes of the one-eyed wolf.

The rain was too cold, and he couldn't stand it. After thinking about it, he turned to a subordinate beside him and said, "Go over there, knock on the door, and let those magicians think of a way. If this goes on, we will really be frozen to death."

"Ah~ I'm going?" The man who was called was shocked: "Brother, these magicians said before that you can't approach the stone house without permission. If I go like this, will it..."

Ordinary people naturally have a strong sense of awe for magicians.

The one-eyed wolf cursed: "You soft egg, are you going there without permission? Isn't it raining? Go quickly!"

"Okay." The man stood up hesitantly and walked towards the stone house.

He had just taken two steps when he heard a little girl's voice next to him: "Mom~ I'm cold~"

A little girl nestled in her mother's arms, but she was still shivering with cold.

The pale face of her daughter made the young mother collapse. She got up from the ground and rushed to the stone house not far away without hesitation, shouting as she ran: "Save my daughter! Save my daughter!"

Her voice was hoarse and very weak under the cover of the rain.

When she ran to the vicinity of the stone house, a figure appeared on the balcony of the stone house. The figure shouted at the woman: "Stop! Stop immediately!"

The woman continued to run forward, shouting hoarsely: "Master, please, save my daughter~"

She had tried her best, but her voice was too low to penetrate the rain.

"I told you to stop!" The magician on the balcony shouted loudly, his voice trembling. In the dark night, he could only barely see a shadow approaching quickly, and no matter how he shouted, the other party did not stop. He immediately suspected that there was a monster attack.

"Save my daughter."

The woman was still running forward. Suddenly, a beam of incandescent light burst out from the balcony, like a sharp sword, piercing through the cold rainy night and piercing the bodies of the young woman and the little girl in her arms.

'Plop~' Two bodies, one big and one small, lost their lives and fell to the ground. The rain poured down and quickly took away the remaining warmth on the bodies.

This scene was seen by everyone.

When it happened, Rosen was sleeping.

Although he thought of a way to get food, his body was too weak. After asking Lilith to prepare some raw materials for him, he fell asleep again soon.

Lilith, Annie, and the injured magicians were also sleeping.

Especially Lilith, who had been busy all day and had not rested for a moment, was also sleeping deeply at this time.

When the magician killed the civilian mother and daughter, not many people were awake in the stone house.

Mobius was one, but he was resting with his eyes closed. Although he heard the movement outside the stone house, it was not a threat to him, so he did not care too much. Magician Tarot was one. Although he was lying by the fire, his mind was complicated and he was always in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

The remaining two magicians on night duty, and it was one of them who killed the mother and daughter who came for help.

A freezing rain had already forced people into a desperate situation. Now the magician showed such a cold-blooded and cruel side, and the despair in people's hearts was immediately ignited.

"Oh my god~ what did that magician do?"

"Why did he kill people!"

"Maybe it was just a misunderstanding, the rain was too heavy."

"I'm going to freeze to death, I'm going to go inside to avoid the rain!"

When the one-eyed wolf saw this scene, his one eye suddenly lit up, and he immediately waved his hand: "Guys, our chance to get ahead has come!"

He was a gangster, and his favorite trick in the past was that the law does not punish the masses.

Now, he already knew that the magicians in the stone house were not of the same mind, and now he happened to encounter such a good opportunity. As long as he used it properly and successfully killed the necromancer Rosen, he would immediately be valued by the magicians of the academy. Apart from other benefits, he could at least live in the stone house, have a bite to eat, and live a much more comfortable life than now.

What's even better is that he was hiding in the rioting crowd, and the risk of being exposed was very low.

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted: "Brothers, stand up! Don't let those magicians think we are soft eggs!"

"Magicians kill people at will, what do they think we are? Pigs and dogs?"

"Charge!"

"Charge!"

The one-eyed wolf's men shouted.

For a moment, the crowd was indignant, and people stood up, gathered together, and surrounded the small stone house.

At this moment, almost everyone was extremely angry, and very few people could remain sober and rational.

Behind the crowd, Vincent wiped the rain off his face and said to the old merchant Claude beside him: "The situation is out of control!"

Claude couldn't even walk properly, and seeing this scene, he trembled all over: "It's over~ It's over now!"

Magicians are their protectors, but this rain has put the two sides on opposite sides. Once a conflict breaks out, magicians may be able to protect themselves, but they will probably end up in a very miserable way.

Palan sighed: "God is so cruel!"
