Chapter 263: The Uninhabited Town

Chapter 263 – No Man’s Town
The Princess car frame that was heading towards Mill Sail Town suddenly closed its windows, and then strange noises began to emanate from inside.

Even though the windows were closed, the semicar attendants walking by the side of the car could still hear a little bit of the sound.

In the midst of that strange and thin sound, the maid reddened her face.

“Princess really, why did it start in the car?” She couldn’t help but complain as she strained her ears to listen.

The others who were closer more or less noticed the movement in the carriage, most of them had contempt in their eyes, while some covered their heads helplessly.

Fortunately, they had long been familiar with the princess’s style of behavior, no one went over to spoil the fun, and the party treated it as if they didn’t know anything.

Leader of the knights held the mood to hurry to find a place to rest, so as to stop this ridiculous behavior hastened to let the crowd into the city.

But then scouting soldiers, but ran over to say, the city gate is locked, no one answered.

The Knight Commander and the people around him immediately felt unhappy, although they are the initiative to come over to the marriage, but also not a border town can be taken lightly.

“Break down the gates, then find the best of the houses and have them vacated.”

There was a clicking and snapping sound after several soldiers combined their efforts to crash down the city gate.

A few people pushed open the city gate and realized that the wooden stakes behind the gate had broken off and fallen to the ground.

“Hmph, but locking the city gates just after nightfall, no wonder it’s a barren town on the border.” The soldiers glanced at each other in triumph, and one ran back to resume their orders, while the rest were responsible for clearing the way in front of them.

Only the guide who had lived in Mobei City for a few years was a bit puzzled.

“From memory, the town of Mill Sail Town seemed to be quite lively, why are the gates locked so quickly? It’s still so quiet here.”

I don’t know why, the guide always felt a little uneasy, even the wind of the summer night became cool, he couldn’t help but touch the chicken skin on his arms, thinking to himself whether he should go and add a piece of clothing.

But soon this uneasiness was spread by the guide alone to the whole team.

As everyone walked along the silent township paths, they gradually changed from being on their toes at the beginning to being suspicious.

They looked left and right, trying to catch a living soul.

But even after walking all the way to the center of the town, they didn’t see a single living person.

“Something’s not right, you guys go to the rooms along the road and look around, even if someone’s sleeping drag them out of there!”

The Knight Commander finally pressed on, ordering the soldiers around him to go find someone to question.

Although these soldiers were also a bit tense by the eerily silent atmosphere of Mill Sail Town, courage was still able to surge out of their chests when all of them acted together.

They yelled, pushed and shoved, and in the most violent form, knocked on the door of a house to break in.

After the last soldier had entered, however, the door of the room suddenly closed, startling those standing in the street.

And with the closing of the door of the room, the cacophony of the soldiers who had just entered disappeared.

After waiting for a while, there was no sound from inside the room, nor did those soldiers come out.

The people who were originally startled by the weird closing sound just now looked at each other and began to worry.

The Knight Commander pulled the guide beside him, “Are you sure this is Mill Sail Town?”

“It’s here, absolutely right, I even saw the name on the gates.” The guide knew that the atmosphere here was so weird, once he was the one who led the wrong way, his little life would be in jeopardy.

Mayor Qi naturally also saw the name on the city wall, it was just that the extreme uneasiness in his heart made him unable to resist confirming it again.

“I’ll go ask Lord Wizard.”

There were two first level apprentices in Mill Sail Town, and once something happened to them, something bizarre could indeed happen.

However, the Knight Commander thought about the fact that there was also a Level 3 Sorcerer Apprentice in the group, and his heart was slightly settled.

He tugged on the reins and rode his horse towards the low-profile but no one dared to underestimate the carriage at the end of the group.

“My lord, there is something wrong with this town, can I trouble you to come down and check it out.”

After saying that, the Knight Commander immediately dismounted and went to the front of the other party’s carriage, ready to personally help the person get off.

However, he waited for a while, but did not hear any movement within the carriage.

“Sorcerer-sama?” The Knight Commander couldn’t help but shout again.

But there was still no response from the carriage.

The Knight Commander, who was completely flustered by the silence, no longer cared about offending the other party and took two steps onto the frame of the carriage and pulled open the door.

However, the carriage was empty.

“Ho …… ho ……” The candlelight in the carriage was still burning steadily. A piece of parchment lay flat on a small table, the quill had fallen to the floor at some point, and the delicate little lambskin rug was splattered with a bit of black ink.

But there was just not the arrogant sorcerer’s apprentice.

The Knight Commander rushed out of the carriage with even greater speed, tugging at the driver’s collar and flinging the man to the ground with one hand.

“Where is the Sorcerer Lord?”

The coachman was also trembling in fear at the scene before him, and he slumped to the ground without even having the strength to get up.

But in order to save his life, he could only shiver and answer, “I don’t know, before entering the city, the lord even asked me what this place was, but after entering the city, the lord never spoke again.”

The Knight Commander also asked the people around if they had seen the Lord Wizard come out.

But everyone’s answer was no.

“Everyone! Immediately turn around in place and leave the city immediately.” The Knight Commander straddled his horse in a lumbering manner, clamped down hard on his horse’s belly, and quickly rushed to the Princess’s carriage.

“Your Highness, please sit still, we need to get out in a hurry, something is very wrong here.”

The Knight Commander felt that he was already so nervous that he was incoherent, but the princess carriage continued to emit a continuous thin sound, as if the two people inside hadn’t had their fun yet.

He couldn’t bear it any longer and twisted his head to the side, pushing open the not-so-sturdy carriage door with one hand.

“Ah… ah —-“

The Knight Commander didn’t look into the carriage, but the maid accompanying the car on the side couldn’t help but take a glance, and then it was this glance that caused her to shriek in terror.

The extremely sharp female voice seemed to pierce the Knight Commander’s eardrums, causing a surge of his heart and blood, and he could no longer care much about it, turning his head to look inside the car.

“Ah!”

Seeing the scene in the carriage, even the everyday mature and stable Knight Commander couldn’t help but let out a cry of shock.

He only felt his legs trembling and could no longer support the weight of the armor on his body.

“With a bang, the knight commander fell to the ground.

The princess in the carriage didn’t disappear, or rather, she existed in a different form.

She was still leaning on the seat in a graceful position, in her gorgeous, complicated court dress.

But the person who supported the dress had changed from a beautiful woman to a swollen blood blister.

When the carriage door opened, two successive shrieks from the maid and the knight commander startled the humanoid monster wrapped in the court-length skirt.

It twisted its body slowly, as if trying to turn its head around, but he had no features, no hair, and it was impossible to tell whether he had turned his face around or away.

As it began to move, blood bubbles rubbed up and down its circumference, making a blushing, tinny sound.

The numerous blood bubbles located on the head cracked open a slit.

“Help ……”

However the cry for help had not yet traveled out of its throat.

The numerous blood bubbles that formed the human form unexpectedly, as if they were holding up to the limit, “Pop! Snap! Snap! Pop!” One by one, they burst open.

Blood-red liquid scrambled out of the bubbles, converging into a thin blood-red stream that stained first the skirts with their supports and then soaked the carpet of the compartment.

Once the carpet was saturated and could no longer absorb any more liquid, these blood-red streams began to disperse in all directions.

A small amount of liquid dripped outward along the seams of the car.

More of the red liquid gushed towards the doors of the car.

“Wow…”

At this moment, it was as if the Knight Commander heard the sound of waves.

“Run ……” he whispered, as if afraid to startle the red current on the other side.

The Knight Commander braced himself, and with a turn ran wildly in the direction of the door of the car from which he had come.

He could no longer care about the chivalrous demeanor, nor the responsibility on his shoulders, nor could he care about these ordinary people in the team who were already filled with fear and did not know what to do.

He only wanted to escape.

More and more red water flowed out of the carriage, and the entire carriage was overwhelmed, shattering into countless pieces with a crash, and tumbling in all directions wrapped in the water flow.
