"Let's go back quickly, otherwise these flowers will wither." Alice retracted her dagger and stood up.

"Well, okay. This much should be enough for Hawke." Ivan Bell replied.

After properly collecting the collected luminous flowers, Alice and Ivan Bell mounted their horses and galloped back to the barn where Hawke and his party were hiding.

However, instead of seeing the slovenly pharmacist, they met a group of residents holding burning torches and the burning barn.

Chapter 143 The Burning Barn

After collecting all the luminous flowers in the pseudo-dragon's lair, Alice and Ivan Bell packed up their things and planned to go home.However, when they rode the two arcane horses back to the territory of Lactoma, they saw black smoke rising in the sky.

"What's wrong!? Is it on fire?" Alice asked Nana to stop, and she asked Ivan Bell in a panic.

At this time, Ivan Bell didn't understand why something like this happened to Lactoma during their absence, although burning large piles of "items" was no longer uncommon in that town.

But the black smoke floating in the sky didn't look like it could burn a corpse. From the perspective of Ivan Bell and Alice, it looked like something larger was burning.

For example, a house or something like that.

"Could it be...!?" Ivan Bell had a not-so-good guess. Coincidentally, Alice vaguely felt that way too.

Rushing towards the city of Lactoma again, Alice and her party returned to the vicinity of the barn, but at this time they could only hide far away in the nearby woods and did not dare to go forward.

Because a group of crazy town residents holding torches were surrounding the main entrance of the barn.They were all the people who exchanged money for elixirs in the square, and Alice vaguely remembered the faces of several of them.

"Burn them! Burn these people who are spreading the plague!"

"Yes! Burn them to death! These ignorant idiots!!"

"burn!"

I don’t know what Fulid said to this group of residents. They were all in a state of extreme anger. The burning torches were waved in their hands, just like the stars of fire in the night sky.

Although this little bit of "starlight" is not as gentle as a real star...

The barn was crowded with people, and the shouts and shouts made people feel numb.Alice was protected by Evan Bell, and they squatted helplessly behind the tree, thinking about what to do now.

"Ivan? What should we do now? Should we go back to rescue people? There should be people trapped in the barn!" Alice looked unusually uneasy, her whole body trembling slightly.

She has a natural fear of burning houses, but she doesn't feel much about simple fireballs or flames. This is strange, and even her adoptive mother, Grandma Madeleine, can't figure out why.

On the other side, Ivan Bell was also frowning.Although some vampires have a certain tolerance for fire, for a half-vampire like her, the fire in front of her is still enough to kill her.

"We are looking for death." Ivan Bell closed his eyes and shook his head sadly.

Alice lowered her head in silence, and then raised it again half a minute later. When she raised her head, her eyes were firm.

"I'm a magician," said Alice.

"So? A magician will die if he is burned by fire, right?" Ivan Bell replied without knowing why.

"Are you stupid! We can use magic to rain!"

Alice did not expect that Ivan Bell's IQ would drop at this time, which made people wonder if the pseudo-dragon had lost her IQ in the previous battle.

"Oh...oh!" Ivan Bell understood.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Ivan Bell. As an abyss ferryer, her inertial thinking has always made her consider solutions to the matter only from the perspective of a "physical attacker".

Sometimes, like just now, it would make her forget that there were other ways to solve the trouble at hand.

However, the solution mentioned by Alice is not that easy to implement. [Rainfall], a C-level range spell, is the only water element magic that Alice can use.The conditions for using this magic are quite harsh. She must be very close to the enemy in order to include the opponent within the effective range of the spell.

In other words, if they want to use magic rain to extinguish the flames that are burning the barn, Alice and Ivan Bell must stand very close to the barn.

"Shh! Let's walk over quietly, so they shouldn't see us." Ivan Bell said to Alice, while looking out from the grass in front of the tree.

The residents holding torches still gathered in the open space in front of the barn, and no one seemed to be paying attention to the small patch of woods where they were hiding.

"Now, let's go!"

After saying that, Ivan Bell rushed out of the woods with Alice. The two of them ran away like two rabbits avoiding natural enemies on the prairie, and arrived behind the barn like a gust of wind.

The heat brought by the flames hit your face, and the smoke and dust floating in the air made it difficult to open your eyes.Fortunately, Alice closed her eyes and activated all the magic power in her body to chant the "Rainfall" spell.

In the previous battle, most of Alice's magic power had been consumed, but this time the use of area-of-effect spells directly reduced her magic value to zero.

A heavy downpour followed, and raindrops as big as beans hit everyone near the barn in the face.The sudden rain caused the residents to disperse, but the two people standing in the center of the crowd stared at the rain clouds entrenched above the barn with disgust.

"Sister, it's magic."

"It is indeed magic, brother."

The two waiters who followed Fulid were talking to each other at this time. They made exactly the same voice when they spoke, and even their intonations were exactly the same.

They are symbionts called "Mephit". They are created based on the principle of "synchronization", both externally and internally.

Their master, Zeng Jin, gave them the titles of "sister" and "brother" for the convenience of distinguishing them. To this day, they still use these terms to call each other.

The waitress called sister turned her head and looked around. Her cold gaze swept across the panicked crowd one by one, and finally stopped at the barn.

She "saw" Alice and Ivan Bell behind the barn.

"Are you back? It's such a pity that they escaped." There was regret on the sister's face.Originally, according to her expectation, one of Alice and Ivan Bell would definitely die in the fire, but she did not expect that this plan failed.

If she had known earlier, she should have taken her brother and took action directly in the square, but who would have thought that a moment of laziness would give them a way out?

"That adult will punish my sister. Please don't get involved with me then." The younger brother said indifferently. He walked back and forth until he thought he was far enough away from his sister. Then he stopped and stood. In place.

Chapter 144 Unwilling

As a symbiote, the younger brother naturally knows what his older sister is thinking right now.The feeling of having the magic power taken away ran through his brother's body. He narrowed his eyes in discomfort, wondering when this farce would end.

"It hurts, it hurts. Why does it hurt me so much when my sister uses magic power?" The younger brother muttered in his heart.

The elder sister and the younger brother have the same magic power, but usually only the elder sister can use magic power.And when his sister extracts the magic power, as the younger brother, he will feel the pain of the blood being drained from his body.

Even though he was feeling pain, his brother's face still looked like a dead person, and it was impossible to tell from his appearance that he was enduring pain.

If you talk to him, he might still have some spare time to chat with you.

While his brother couldn't hold back his desire to complain, his sister was squandering the magic power they shared.A magic circle that was almost invisible to the naked eye spread out at my sister's feet. The scope of this magic circle was much wider than Alice's [Earth Formation].

It seemed that she didn't want Alice and her entourage to escape from under her eyes anymore.

Just when Alice felt the surging magic power and was trembling all over, it was already too late even if they realized that their whereabouts had been exposed and tried to escape.

At this time, huge spears fell vertically from the sky one after another. They tore apart the rain clouds released by Alice and hit the ground heavily.

In an instant, screams were heard one after another. They were not coming from Alice and Ivan Bell, but from the residents wandering in the open space.

It was an extremely tragic situation. The spear falling from the sky pierced the person's body and nailed him to the ground.Some spears penetrated the person's back, while others penetrated directly into the throat.

The blood they shed gathered on the ground like a pool of blood. Every time someone fell, there would always be splashes of water.

Almost no one survived, except my sister, a spell caster.Her brother was also accidentally injured. One of his arms was pierced by a spear and was bleeding.

The younger brother didn't speak, just silently pulled the spear out of his arm. ,

On the other side, Alice and Ivan Bell were injured as expected.Alice was stabbed to the ground with a spear pierced through her abdomen.

As for Ivan Bell, a hole was poked in her thigh, but she was not pinned to the ground and unable to move.

Compared to Ivan Bell, who "just gritted his teeth and pulled out the spear to solve the wound bleeding problem", Alice's situation is much worse.

Even though she had suffered more serious injuries, the sudden pain almost made her faint.Alice couldn't solve the wound with simple and crude methods like her half-vampire companion, so she could only try to find a solution using the magic she had learned.

"Hiss! Ha! It hurts...it hurts me so much!" Alice trembled and pulled out the spear bit by bit. On the way to pull out the spear, she had to use magic to treat her at all times. own wounds.

For about a few minutes, while spears were still falling from the sky, Alice managed to successfully treat her wounds.

During this period, I would like to thank Ivan Bell for his cover, otherwise Alice would have to pull out several spears from her body.

"Ouch! We can't stay here any longer! Let's run away!" Alice said, covering her abdomen.

Ivan Bell glanced at the scene and nodded in agreement. Now it was not a question of whether to save people or not, they were all risking their lives.

If you don't run now, when will you wait?

But the sister in the symbiote had no intention of letting them escape from the beginning.She continued to extract the shared magic power. She was so greedy that she didn't even know that her brother was about to faint from it.

"[Wind God Blade]!" The sister loudly announced the name of the spell she cast. When Alice and Ivan Bell heard the shout and turned around, they saw the upper half of the barn collapse in front of their eyes.

[Wind God Blade] is an A-level wind element magic. This A-level magic is very scary in terms of power and appearance.

A huge wind blade that could span hundreds of people roared towards him. It fully demonstrated the unique "speed" of wind element magic.

Before Alice could blink, the wind blade easily passed over her and Ivan Bell's necks.Like pudding cut open by a sharp blade, their heads slid down crookedly along the incisions on their necks.

Two soft sounds, accompanied by blood spraying into the sky, two young lives were taken away like this...?

Yeah?is that so?

The black cat opened its eyes, and its two pairs of yellow eyes like copper bells stared at the west. It opened its mouth and meowed a few times, "Meow", and the whiskers on both sides of its mouth were raised, making it look like it was moving. Same as smiling.

"You're dead." Someone whispered in Alice's ear.

Alice opened her mouth to say something, but no sound came out.

"Aren't you willing to give in?" the voice continued.

Not willing to give in?Of course I’m not willing to give in!No one wants to die so early, right?

Alice shook her head desperately. As long as she twisted her neck slightly, a lot of blood would be squeezed out of her neck.

"Then what do you expect?" The unknown voice continued to induce Alice.

Alice opened her mouth in confusion. She expected many things: she wanted to find her family, she wanted to regain her memory, she wanted to get rid of her nightmare...

And, a new one, "I don't want to die."

"I don't want to die!" This was the loudest sentence Alice had ever uttered. She didn't know how she could make such a sound when her neck was bleeding.

But this sentence clearly seemed to turn on a certain switch. Alice felt herself energetic, and the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss disappeared.

"Go and change your destiny." The voice became more and more ethereal. Before Alice could ask him who he was, she completely lost her vision.

When she opened her eyes again, what she saw was not the blood on the ground, nor the lifeless bodies of herself and her companions.

But the grass in front of me was obviously stained with vomit.

"There are so many corpses, do we still want to go in?" Ivan Bell said with a reluctant expression on her face.
