Chapter 265 – I started that fire.

Chapter 265: I Started That Fire

Saul backed up a little bit, but he actually had no intention of leaving.

Right now, his code of conduct is: as long as the diary didn’t say no, then it’s no good for anyone to say no!

Penny “watched” Saul retreat, and did not make any other movements.

But when Saul reached the door, he suddenly flung his hand at Penny.

Two black tentacles with slightly different forms flew out.

One attacked Penny’s head and one shot towards Penny’s shoulder.

However, when the black tentacles touched Penny’s body, the latter suddenly disappeared.

Along with Penny’s disappearance, the increasingly loud tidal surge sound outside also instantly disappeared.

Saul wasn’t worried that he was attacking Penny herself, because on the other party’s body. He did not find a living person’s aura.

However, when he attacked, he still left a hand, letting the small algae that had a sense of self-control attack Penny’s head, and at the same time attacking Penny’s shoulder with the 1st level sorcery “Frozen Cold Touch”.

When Penny’s illusion disappeared, Algae braked sharply and stopped.

The sorcery “Frozen Cold Touch” shattered the small cabinet where the illusion of Penny was located.

Because of the freezing property of the “Freezing Cold Touch”, the cabinet was shattered, but it didn’t fall to the ground. Instead, it was frozen in place in its original form.

“Why didn’t you listen to me and had to come in?”

Suddenly, the voice of yet another old lunatic came from the courtyard.

When Saul turned around, he saw the old lunatic who was covered in a mess sighing.

There was no scent of a living person on this person either.

“Another illusion?”

Having learned from his previous mistake, Saul didn’t waste his magic power attacking this time.

“Since the fake Penny just now could communicate, this fake lunatic should be able to as well.”

He claimed a smile and approached slowly while inquiring, “Are all the people who entered this town, dead?”

The old lunatic’s eyes showed sorrow, “Yes, all dead, no one can escape.”

“Killed by whom?”

The old madman froze for a moment, his eyes emptied, as if he was reminiscing.

“Yes, it was the red tide ……”

The red tide again?
And with those words, the sound of the waves resounded once again.

But this time, the sound seemed to be a bit closer than just now.

Saul squinted his eyes, but still didn’t see an attached spirit body on the old madman.

The one who killed the residents of Mill Sail Town was supposed to be Mochi Mochi, but he didn’t seem to be aware of the Scarlet Tide either.

Someone had turned this dead land, after Mochi Mochi left, into a cultivation ground for curses.

“Do you know of any other places in town that might have the Fruit of the Mill Sound?”

“Sound grinding fruit?” The old maniac repeated, “What’s a sound grinding fruit?”

Saul frowned, “Does the vision only know what happens before it dies?”

The old madman’s eyes fluttered for a while before he suddenly began to prod Saul again.

“Go now, go now, if you don’t go now, it will be too late.”

Saul asked a few other questions, but the old madman only told Saul to get out of here.

His patience ran out, and he said in a cold voice, “Since you said that there are no living people …… here anymore, what do you count?”

Hearing Saul’s question, the old madman was suddenly stunned, his expression once again in a trance, and this time he didn’t recover.

“I told you that you can’t deal with barbarians, you can’t ……” he shook his body and staggered outward, “you can’t deal with barbarians, the village is destroyed, destroyed!”

There was something strange about the way he was running, one hand behind his back, seemingly holding something up; the other hand was constantly waving, as if asking for help.

“Where is this guy running to?”

Saul wondered in his mind and chased after him for two steps.

The old madman seemed to have heard his footsteps and looked back at Saul with tangled eyes.

Suddenly, obviously running on level ground, he tripped over the air and staggered two steps to stabilize himself with difficulty.

After this time, he never looked back and quickly ran out of the alley.

“This guy ……” Saul’s mind was even more puzzled by the old madman.

This old lunatic had been mysterious before, able to avoid the probing of Komoro, and knew the secrets of Mill Sail Town, and always disappeared and appeared from time to time.

At that time, Saul felt that this guy was strange. Saying crazy is not crazy, saying sober but not sober either. I didn’t realize that this guy’s visions also continued his own eccentricity.

He couldn’t help but follow the old madman and run two steps outside. But as soon as he stepped out of the small courtyard, he lost sight of the old madman.

Of course, it could be that the old madman’s visions had disappeared.

The moment the old madman disappeared, the sound of waves in the distance stopped once again.

“Since it’s an illusion, it’s normal for it to disappear at any time.”

Since the old madman disappeared and Penny didn’t reappear, Saul didn’t intend to stay here any longer.

“Little Algae, send me up to the roof.”

Little Algae obediently pulled Saul up to the roof of the small courtyard.

The building of this small courtyard wasn’t too high, but it was possible to see the neighborhood.

“The house where the sorcerer apprentice lives must be the most luxurious.” Sol made a half-circle on the roof, looking for the best houses in the town.

But in the next second, his footsteps stopped.

Because in the next block, he unexpectedly saw a third person.

The outwardly warm, but actually cold Aunt Jenny.

At that moment she was holding a black shadow, cowering in the corner of the next alley.

Saul could clearly hear her frightened voice.

“Please, don’t do this!” Jenny shook her head desperately.

Was it a vision of Jenny before she died?
When Saul squinted his eyes, he unexpectedly realized that this Jenny didn’t seem to be not not a vision, but a spiteful spirit.

But when he came over before, why didn’t he notice any spirits in the vicinity?
Could it be the spell in the town that hid Jenny’s movements?
“The curse in this town is so strange. Is it a curse or an attack-type spell?”

Saul looked around vigilantly and did not see any more spirits.

Just as he was about to ignore Aunt Jenny, the latter’s wail suddenly grew louder, a mournful hiss filled with anger and despair.

“How can you be so cruel? Jasmine, she’s only 12 years old, please, let me take her place, let me be the sacrifice in her place!”

“Who is Jasmine?” Saul remembered that Jenny had once said, while the crowd was up in arms, that she didn’t have a daughter.

“Did someone try to drag away a girl she was close to after I left?”

Saul had just thought that when he heard Jenny’s mournful voice again.

“No-“

He simply jumped from the roof straight to the alleyway where Aunt Jenny was.

When he took a few steps to the seemingly insane Aunt Jenny, he noticed that this Aunt Jenny was much younger than the last time he saw her.

She fell to her knees and looked blankly at the entrance to the alley.

The shadow in her arms was gone.

It suddenly dawned on Saul.

This scene was not an image of Aunt Jenny before she died, but the most painful memory of her life.

That Molly was either her friend or her sister.

So just because she doesn’t have a daughter doesn’t mean she isn’t hurting.

Saul suddenly reached out to the fallen Jenny, the front of his arm probing a section of imaginary needles invisible to the naked eye as he moved, then stabbed into Jenny’s aura, injecting a little bit of starlight into it.

Aunt Jenny wasn’t under Saul’s control, but that didn’t stop him from mimicking the form in the space of consciousness and injecting some energy into the other.

It was also an attempt on his part.

Failure is just losing a little bit of soul energy, and success …… might get an unexpected pleasure
Fortunately, the result of this attempt was good.

Aunt Jenny, who was originally staring blankly at the mouth of the alley, suddenly became much more animated after receiving Sol’s energy injection.

Her eyes slowly turned around, and she seemed to have just realized Saul’s presence.

“Thank you, who are you?” Aunt Jenny vaguely felt that Saul had helped her, but looking at the gray-skinned teenager in front of her, she always felt familiar, but couldn’t recall the other party’s identity.

“Do you know where the sound grinding fruits are usually stored in the town? Or where those two sorcerer lords live?”

Saul didn’t dwell on the identity, this little bit of energy he injected still didn’t know how long it could help Jenny maintain her sanity, it was better to grab the question at hand.

“Ground Sound Fruit ……” Jenny, however, drifted back into a trance the moment she heard the question, “is not a good thing, you don’t look for it, don’t look for it.”

Aunt Jenny suddenly moved closer to Sol, the tips of their noses almost bumping into each other, and a face suddenly dilated in Sol’s pupils.

“I’ll tell you a secret …… I started that fire.” After saying that she twisted and laughed.

The more she laughed, the bigger that mouth became, the more she laughed, the bigger the mouth became, and in the end it actually crowded out the space of the rest of the five senses on her face, and at first glance, the entire face was nothing more than a big grinning mouth.

Third shift!
