Chapter 274 – Fraud
At that moment, the red light overhead suddenly flickered.
Without further hesitation, Billy instantly flew out, seemingly deciding to fight the blood wave hard.
However, Saul noticed that he first followed the red line over the water, and should have intended to wait until he flew near the city gates before quickly crossing the bloody water and leaving the area to minimize the time he spent in contact with the blood wave.
Saul couldn’t fly, and while the small algae could dangle him and run, there were barely a few buildings left in the vicinity that hadn’t been completely submerged due to the elevated water.
If he wanted to get over there, he was afraid he would have to march through the water for a while, and his magic might not last that long under the curse’s attack.
The debris floating on the surface of the water were all broken and small, and couldn’t support his weight at all.
The roof overhead was still burning, and the broken tiles and tiles slid down into the sea of blood, sending up a puff of black smoke.
The red light that indicated the route flickered again, as if the doors that had opened were actually closing.
Saul gritted his teeth and was about to jump out when suddenly the diary flew out again.
[Year 316 of the Solstice Calendar, September 1st
What is the truest lie in the world?
When you’re well through the gates of hope, you realize that freedom is so fleeting.
It turns out that the blood-colored ocean isn’t trying to let you go.
Rather, it’s after making you see hope
And then completely understand what is despair.
When you float in the sea of blood.
Looking at the red sky and fluttering butterflies.
Maybe only in the tranquility.
And realize the taste of death.
It’s bitter.
Saul retracts his foot, looks over at Billy, who has flown away, and looks back at Penny in silence.
Penny, in turn, looks back with her bright starry eyes, clean of emotion like a real child inside.
Seeing Saul stop in his tracks, Penny cocked her head, “Brother Saul, why don’t you go? The light is about to disappear oh.”
Seeing that Saul still didn’t move, Penny stood up and walked to Saul’s side, seemingly wanting to hold his hand, but Saul dodged it.
“Brother Saul, is it because you want to stay with me? You’re so nice.”
More waves came in through the window and Saul knew he didn’t have much time left.
He had to ask Penny as soon as possible for a way to actually get out of town.
Since the diary didn’t say he would die if he entered the town, there had to be a way out.
“What’s the real way to get out of town? Did you lie to us just to get us to bury you, or did you just want to see what a seemingly powerful sorcerer’s apprentice would turn into when he was desperate to break down?”
“…… Nightmare Butterfly little sister?”
Penny’s hand that wanted to take Sol’s arm froze in place.
For a while, the only sound that could be heard in the clock tower was the crackling of burning wood.
Angela, who had fallen to the ground and was too weak to speak, saw that Saul hadn’t left, and stretched out her left hand to him, as if asking for help.
Saul, who had been staring at Penny, did not notice Angela’s movement, but it was Penny who suddenly angrily bypassed Saul, walked in front of Angela, and stomped on her outstretched hand.
“Can’t you see I’m talking to brother Saul? What’s two dead people doing messing around?”
Saul turned back and looked at the frail Angela without saying a word.
Everyone knew Angela wasn’t going to survive the moment Billy took the gray stone out of her body and dropped her on the ground.
She was the only one who still had her heart in the right place.
At that moment, the red light above everyone’s heads went out completely.
However, the diary still didn’t hint at a crisis.
This made Saul’s heart calm down a lot.
He was also able to maintain his composure on the surface.
Penny, who was ready for a good show, beamed in frustration, “How did you tell?”
Of course Saul wouldn’t say that it was because the butterfly had just been mentioned in the diary, plus he’d gotten the cocoon from Penny, so he’d swindled it.
Penny saw Saul’s silence and knew he didn’t want to tell him.
“Well, I did lie to you guys. If I can’t even get out of here, why would I be nice enough to show you guys the way? Am I some kind of nice person?”
At this moment, Angela, who was being stepped on by Penny, completely stopped moving.
She collapsed to the ground with empty eyes, and the magic power in her body suddenly erupted, stirring up strong air currents that actually briefly blew out some of the waves of blood that had surged into the top floor of the bell tower. At the same time, the scattered magical air currents also blew out the flames overhead, revealing the already scorched roof.
In the next moment, Saul narrowed his eyes and saw Angela’s spirit body.
As an apprentice who majored in dark attribute sorcery, Angela’s spirit body was incredibly fragile, with its surface covered with fine cracks, like a piece of scaly glass.
Penny also seemed to have the ability to see spirit bodies, her starry eyes flashed, and suddenly her body leaned forward and gently blew on Angela’s spirit body like blowing out a candle.
“Whew…”
Angela’s originally precarious spirit body was instantly like incense ash, carried away by the air currents and dissipated into the air.
It was actually nowhere to be found.
“What exactly did Billy plant in Angela’s body? Normally it looks fine, but it all exploded out after death.” Saul remembered that Billy majored in the element of poison, “Could this be a new toxin he cultivated? Can it hurt the soul?”
Saul’s heart fluttered and decided that he must go back and ask Korie about Billy.
“It’s so pointless,” seeing that Saul was still waiting for his answer, Penny rubbed her face with some annoyance, “This cursed town is the cage that holds me. You see that crystal ball, it’s like I’m trapped in it. It obviously looks like there are exits everywhere, but I can’t escape.”
Penny curled up on the floor and looked as if she was about to cry.
“Let’s dispense with the acting. If you really don’t want to communicate, maybe I can communicate with someone else. I assume the person who trapped you here would be willing to crystal ball the sorcerer’s apprentice and cooperate with him in getting you arrested?”
Penny bit her lower lip and stood up at once.
“He doesn’t need your cooperation at all!” The smirk on Penny’s face disappeared completely, “I’m going to die, completely. Although I don’t know why that guy just trapped me with a curse and kept sending people in to bury me. But no matter what, I’m just going to die. So why do I even care?”
“For …… the cocoon you sent me? You don’t care about your own children?”
Saul didn’t actually know the relationship between the Penny in front of him and the cocoon he’d gotten earlier, but that didn’t stop him from continuing to fool around.
Penny sneered, “Who cares about a dead egg that was given to you to play with.”
“Not dead oh.”
“What?”
“He gave me a lot of trouble after I brought him back to the Wizard’s Tower. So much so that I had to dig him up and seal him for a while, for fear that it would hatch the next day.”
It was also fortunate that the one Saul brought back was an unhatched cocoon.
If it was an adult Nightmare Butterfly, it was definitely not an existence he could deal with.
The diary had already prompted Saul that if the cocoon was not sealed, then hatching would be a matter of time.
It looked like Penny didn’t know that the cocoon was still active either.
Many creatures had the instinct to reproduce, and Saul wondered if the Nightmare Butterfly had this habit. Many creatures in the wizarding world could not be generalized, and many living and non-living things prioritized the continuation of themselves.
But the Nightmare Butterfly in front of her was trapped and kept clamoring that she was going to die. If she wasn’t lying, that one active cocoon should be quite important to her.
Penny’s silver eyes stared blankly at Sol and suddenly said, “I don’t believe it, you witches are the best at lying. I want to take a look.”
Two pairs of silver butterfly wings suddenly unfolded behind her.
Once he saw Penny’s wings, Saul believed that she was really dying.
Those wings were dull in color, the edges were full of tears, and there were many horrible penetrating wounds in the middle of the phosphorus wings.
Wings don’t bleed, and that’s why the various wounds were clearly visible. It could be seen that the Nightmare Butterfly was really badly, badly injured.
Just like the shaky, dark yellow dead leaves on the treetops in the harsh winter.
