Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 71 71. Nebbiolo Festival (7)

I don't know where the others started from, but Emma walked into a dark alley the moment she entered the city gate.

It was an absolutely real back alley, and there were even two garbage cans full of rubbish in it, which gave off a not very pleasant smell.

"Is it necessary to do this..."

Emma covered her nose, and said to herself with a little disgust.

Enduring the stench and waiting for a long time, I heard Mr. Bach's voice transmission announcing the start.

Almost rushing out of the alley at the speed of escape, Emma was greatly relieved.

After "seeing the sun again", she first looked up to find the tallest castle, and by analyzing the viewpoint of the central building, she judged her approximate location.

"Is it the southwest?"

The first level is based on the understanding of Mr. Bach's introduction, it should not be an item that requires combat.It stands to reason that there is no need for the apprentices to attack each other in this level. The only thing to do is to race against time to find clues to enter the next city wall.

However, this situation is not ruled out-apprentices of the Fighting School will exclude competitors indiscriminately from the very beginning.So don't let your guard down completely.

No hint?Should I go to Zhengxi or Zhengnan to have a look?Although the possibility of a city gate there is extremely low, it is better than running around like a chicken without a head.

While thinking about the next move, the surroundings suddenly became "lively".

Shops, houses, and doors all opened one after another, and "people" waddled out from the middle.

If it weren't for their stiff movements, and they were obviously moving in accordance with the rules, Emma almost thought that the Duke had arranged for many extras to come in for role-playing.

Mechanism puppet?

I heard that there is such a way of warlocks who like to create dolls that can move freely, and then apply magic to drive them.It is said that they are "human" puppets, and there are not a few in the form of animals or half-beasts.

As long as enough manipulation circles are stacked, this kind of doll can completely replace ordinary servants and complete most of the daily work, such as serving tea, delivering water, and cleaning.Of course, except for fine work, such as cooking, even if you don't consider that the doll will set itself on fire, the things you make are hard to swallow.

These dolls are like playing house toys in the hands of children, and they start to carry out the daily activities of citizens in a decent manner.

Some "aunts" began to dry clothes, some "hawkers" sold fresh fish, and some "blacksmiths" began to forge irons. Of course, there was no real fire in the stove, just constant knocking.

Emma was hesitating which one to check first, when a group of "kids" ran past with laughter and laughter, and one of them bumped into Emma firmly.

It hurts, it's made of wood!
"I'm sorry, big sister."

Emma was startled by the sudden childish voice, she could still speak!This is a bit scary.

She lowered her head and looked at the little friend, her face was carved delicately, it was a lovely wooden doll.

But cute is cute, being stared at by a pair of dark, lifeless eyes is not a pleasant experience.

"Hey...it's okay." Emma decided to follow the trick, "Little brother, do you know where the way to the castle is?"

Questions were thrown, but there was no expectation of answers.

"I know."

"Eh?"

Without saying a word, the little boy took Emma's hand and started running on the road.

"Hey, slow down... slow down..."

This sudden change made Emma a little at a loss. Does this mean to take her to pass the level directly?
Naturally, the puppet would not obey Emma's orders, and just kept running wildly. Emma almost stumbled and fell because she kicked a stone on the road halfway.

If you do fall, will you be dragged by this thing to your death?The thought made Emma's hairs stand on end.

Most of the roads are slate roads, and there are also rough mud. It seems that it is a complete copy of a real city, and the rich and poor areas are clearly divided.

After running for several miles, Emma was already out of breath.How is this different from going blind?It's like watching flowers on horseback, maybe he has missed several opportunities to get key clues.

It's not that she didn't try to break free, but her hand was tightly grasped, and she couldn't pull it out no matter what.

Why don't we just destroy this doll?

Such a small "kid" is a bit hard to deal with!
There is also a "river" passing through the city. Judging from the water quality, it is likely that a river channel was dug and directly introduced into the sea water.The next few "women" who were washing clothes confirmed Emma's guess even more, because the clothes they rubbed vigorously had already formed salt frost.

There are too many dolls, and there are too many "variety". In the river, there are even children who take off their clothes and play in the water, and every detail is carefully portrayed on their bodies.

It's almost like... It's like turning a real person into a puppet.

Although there are not many, wooden horses, wooden dogs and wooden cats also appear.Next, even if she sees a wood mouse passing by, Emma will definitely be surprised.

Do you still want to run?What to do if people see it, you will definitely be ridiculed by other players!
The so-called fear of what will come, a figure suddenly jumped out of the river, with a strong figure, it should be hiding in the water to observe the situation.He raised his hand and stretched his bow, and an arrow shot out through the air, directly hitting the little boy's arm that was holding on to Emma.

"Crack!" The arm snapped.The little boy stamped his feet, looked at his severed limb in disbelief, and then let out a cry like heaven and earth falling apart.

"Mother!!!"

He ran away crying, not knowing whether he had cried or not.

"Which academy are you from? Why are you so stupid!"

The other party scolded as he walked over, the water on his body quickly evaporated into steam and dissipated.

Emma blushed with shame, and reached out to cover the embroidery on the neckline.

"Don't hide it, I've already seen it. It's from Turin College, right!"

"I... asked him the way..."

"And then he led you to run wildly? You don't really think he can take you to the next level, do you?"

"Not at all."

Emma smiled awkwardly and wanted to run away quickly.It has been imagined before that no matter what dangers there are in the examination room, the most dangerous ones will only be apprentices from other colleges who are competitors.

"These puppets are aggressive and will attack people as long as certain conditions are triggered."

The man didn't care, and sent Emma a message for free.I saw him pull out the arrows he shot earlier from the wall, and then insert them back into the basket on his back.

"I'm from Campbell College."

"I see."

Even without judging from the embroidery on the burqa, this kind of warlock who carries weapons must be from Campbell College.

If Emma and the others were taught that "the wand is like a third hand", the apprentices at Campbell College must all be monsters who "use four hands together".

"Hack, chick, chick," a mule passed between the two of them. In addition to the luggage, it also carried a young man gnawing on a sandwich.

Emma swore it was a real sandwich, because she saw gravy dripping from the corner of the young man's mouth to his chin.

"It's amazing. It seems that Mr. Bach is a top puppeteer."

"Well...thank you for your rescue, then I'll leave now!"

After talking about it, Emma wanted to slip away, it seemed too unwise to stay with such a martial artist.

It's a pity that her movements were too slow in the eyes of the other party. The man swung his bow and directly blocked the way.

"Don't go! I still count on you to help us find clues! Seeing that you are a girl, you must be very careful. Hehe."

What a smirk!You are a threat!
"Cooperate with me honestly, and I promise not to hurt you. It's not too late to part ways after entering the next level."
