Campfire Shelter

Chapter 45 Acquaintance

Outside Black Rock City, at the entrance of an inconspicuous dungeon, Warden Calder and his subordinates were preparing to transfer a group of prisoners who had been sentenced to death into prison vans and send them to the Holy Healing Church in the city.

"The behavior of the Holy Healing Church feels more and more crazy. It has already begun to attack the living."

Warden Calder, who had a beer belly like August and a fat body, couldn't help but shook his head.

At this time, the tall and thin young man beside him spoke: "Recently, there have been more and more cases of capital punishment imposed by the trial courts. Even if you say the wrong thing, you will be sentenced to death."

"However, these people will not be executed directly, but will be sent to the Holy Healing Church.

"I always feel that the judges seem to have reached some inexplicable agreement with the people of the Holy Healing Church"

But before he finished speaking, Warden Calder quickly raised his hand to interrupt:

"Stop! Don't say who it is. If you insist, please stay away from me, lest blood splash on me when the head is cut off."

Then, he turned around and took a look behind him. Inside the dozen or so iron cages, some figures were bound by iron chains and locked in the cage.

If they were originally escorted, these people in the prison car would not be locked additionally.

But since the accident a few nights ago, everything has become stricter. Even if you are locked in a cage, you must wear chains on your hands and feet to avoid accidents.

If the previous incident happened again, he would most likely have to be imprisoned and sent to the Holy Healing Church to be experimented on by those lunatics.

But to be honest, he has objections to using these death row prisoners for experiments.

But after all, it is the Holy Healing Church, with a huge momentum, the overlord behind the scenes in the southern border, and the city lord have to listen to each other, so what's the use of opposing it?

Sighing, Kalder looked away. He always felt that something was quietly brewing in Black Rock City, but he couldn't figure it out. He only knew that things seemed to be getting more and more wrong.

But at this moment, a white-haired crow suddenly flew over from afar and landed on his shoulder.

Calder hesitated slightly, grabbed the crow, took a rolled-up note from its feet, released it again, and then opened the note to see that there was no writing on it.

This way of conveying news should be the secret letter of the "Knights of Virtue".

After thinking about it, he crumpled the note into a ball, put it in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it in two bites.

A vague revelation began to form in my mind.

When it unfolded, Calder opened his eyes again and turned around to look at the rest of his men: "Guys, send these people back to the dungeon first, and then send them to the Holy Healing Church tomorrow. We have other tasks."

After that, the team began to return.

"What mission?"

"Let us suspend everything we are doing and go to the west to meet a group of nobles who escaped from the catastrophe in the Pale Mountains."

"Didn't I tell these guys that I won't accept it? Why are you still following them?"

Colin looked back behind him and found that the noble team that he had clearly rejected before was following them again, not far behind, looking at him from time to time.

But I don’t know if the misunderstanding has been resolved, and the previous strong guard has been lifted a lot.

And the group of people just followed and did not come forward. The two sides kept a distance.

But as he walked, Colin suddenly realized something was wrong——

The place he is going to now, according to the employee's description, should be a town, and after that group of people were attacked now, they probably don't have many choices of where to go.

At least his experiences these past few days told him that there were very few human cities in this damn place.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the two parties were probably going to the same place.

"Hey, am I being prostituted for nothing? Damn, that's sloppy. I've lost a pound of gold!"

Colin didn't know whether to laugh or cry in his heart, but now that he went up to ask, he felt a little embarrassed.

But at this time, the footsteps of the group behind him accelerated, and they were not far behind him.

"Your Excellency, it's getting dark soon. We'd better speed up and get to Blackstone City as soon as possible. Otherwise, once night comes, even you will be in danger." The old housekeeper came over and reminded.

It's night time? Colin looked up at the sky. A hazy light was cast from the thick clouds, and there was no sign of darkness.

Although he didn't know how these people determined the time, he did not refuse the invitation this time.

Because the nights here are really dangerous.

On the way, looking at Colin in a beggar's outfit, the old housekeeper couldn't help but ask: "Sir, did you also escape from the magic mist disaster that broke out in the Pale Mountains?"

What the hell are the Pale Mountains and the Demonic Mist Disaster? But this Demonic Fog Disaster sounds a bit familiar. Where have I heard it before? Colin's mind was spinning with thoughts, and he was curious in his heart. He said, "It turns out those things are the disaster of the magic fog."

"You don't know?" Helena's surprised voice came from under the hood.

"The situation was urgent at the time. I was just running away and didn't pay attention to what happened over there?"

Colin started to talk curiously, Helena was silent for a few seconds, first said I don't know much, and then explained some things she knew.

An earthquake disaster occurred in the Pale Mountains. The earth cracked open, and the magic mist sealed there surged out, turning into countless monsters and swallowing up several small countries one after another.

Even they narrowly escaped because they were on the edge.

But even so, there were hundreds of thousands of people in their city when they first fled. Now, there are only a dozen people left, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive.

"Yes, yes, it was a terrible disaster. I almost died at that time."

Colin said in agreement, but his mind remembered that during the previous mission, the human suture monster had mentioned this when he manipulated the cardinal to introduce the world.

I originally thought it was just a background introduction for deception, but I didn't expect it to be true.

Look at the noble woman next to her who is on the run.

Ke Lin suddenly felt that the human body stitching blamed other aspects, and the lie seemed to be true without saying a word.

"But having said that, that guy knew the knowledge about the earth a few years ago, more than a thousand people, most of the gun technology has been unlocked, but it seems that looking at this group of people, they seem to know a little about guns No?"

When Colin remembered that these people saw him draw out the gun, they seemed to be extremely shocked and curious, and even said that they had never heard of it during the conversation.

That guy, hasn't spread the corresponding knowledge yet?

Or do you mean to look down upon the power of artillery explosives?

But before he could think about it, Colin stopped suddenly, sniffed his nose, looked forward, and half-closed his eyes guardedly.

"Someone!"

"Be alert! Be alert!"

Hearing this, the old butler immediately drew out the cross sword on his waist, and looked ahead with the soldiers vigilantly.

However, when he saw the figure in front of him clearly, Ke Lin showed a strange expression. Unexpectedly, he seemed to have bumped into an acquaintance.

Suddenly I feel like my hand can’t code.
