[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

The mice ran very fast, but driven by the sound of the flute, they ran only as shadows. Even though the mice in the whole town were scattered in different places in different houses, during the time Samuel followed them, all All the mice in the town had already swarmed out, and no one followed them. They all threw themselves into the endlessly flowing river, without even a splash of struggling.

And just when Samuel was about to cross the river to face the piper on the other side of the river, he showed a strange smile to Samuel, and saw waves around him, which quickly disappeared into the air.

"Wizard! Lord Son, us?"

Anger and disgust rose instantly in the eyes of the captain of the knights. They are very disgusted with wizards and other godless people, but they are not good at legal skills, so they can only look at Samuel inquiringly, as if only Samuel As soon as I give you an order, they can jump out and catch the piper.

"Go back first and ask the people in the town why he expelled the rats."

From the fairy tale, the piper wants money, not a kind person, so if someone promised him, he would not do it.Sure enough, after Samuel returned to the town, the mayor was kneeling in front of several people tied up with ropes. Seeing Samuel's return, he quickly stood up and apologized.

It turns out that once there is a plague of rats in this place, the rats are as big as two fists. Ordinary cats can't catch them at all. The door of the granary can be smashed by the rats and sneak in. Before Samuel came here, some people felt distressed. Due to my own loss, I approached Piper with the idea of ​​giving it a try, and promised a large sum of money, so Piper would only act at night.

The mayor didn't know if he was really so angry, or if he acted to shirk his responsibility, he kicked and kicked the townspeople who teamed up to find the piper, saying that they were disrespectful to the gods, and that they should be in the same rank as witchcraft. The heretics were sentenced, and Samuel was respectfully asked how to punish them.

In the criminal law of the Holy See, colluding with witchcraft is the same crime as him, and he should be sentenced to death, but Samuel couldn't calm down, so he just lightly asked them to confine them for a few months, and then asked them how they discussed with the wizard. remuneration issue.

In order to avoid trouble, Samuel should ask them to prepare money and really give the reward to the piper, but as a holy son who cannot compromise like the evil forces, he can't do that, so after learning that these people said that they were originally After not intending to give the money, secretly vigilant in case the piper will take the children away.

Face engineering is really a big problem.He is also not good at predicting that the piper will be bad for the children, let them be prepared, who makes the people in the Holy See arrogant, always feel that there is God's protection, and nothing is a problem.He could only say that the Piper might come back to take revenge in the next few days, so that the town's armed forces should be prepared. In the next few days, every house and every house should be locked up and not go out easily, and then Samuel will guard the nearest Stay at the house at the intersection of the town, waiting for the Piper to come.

At night, Samuel did hear a flute.He was vigilant and stayed up all the time, and now he rushed out the door with other people who had warned him to be vigilant.The outside is already chaotic, full of adults screaming and tugging, and many children have lost their minds, running in the direction of the flute with stiff feet and loose eyesight.

"Stop them!"

Samuel gave his knights a wink, and these big men took their shields and rode fast together, and formed an formation at the end of the town to block the way out, but those children were very agile, and the way was not the only one, there were still some The children took a shortcut and rushed out. The knights were in a hurry. At this moment, the sound of the flute changed again. ran away.

hateful!

"You follow, I'll go first!" Samuel only had time to explain to the people around him, and then used the power of the wind to float him up.Edwin jumped up from the ground and was held in Samuel's arms. Xiaohua was not suitable for fighting and stayed in the room, but Samuel believed that others would take care of it.

The children who ran ahead, the oldest was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the youngest was three or four years old, but there were no infants in swaddling clothes. That's right, there was only a lame child in the fairy tale who did not keep up, but the younger Can't even run, let alone keep up.But even so, the total number of children who came out following the sound of the flute was forty or fifty. Not to mention that Samuel's conscience could not be overwhelmed, just to maintain the name of the Holy Son, Samuel had to save these children with all his life. OK.

Under the influence of the sound of the flute, their speed is no longer that of a pure human being.Samuel followed halfway, and also made himself invisible, trying to see what the Piper was up to.These children had crossed the river in a flash, and even the high water level could not affect them. After a while, they ran to a place with lush water and grass far away from the town, playing the flute. He was standing there with one hand playing the flute, playing it with full concentration, as if intoxicated by the sound of his own flute, even though the forty or fifty children were standing in front of him in a daze, he did not stop.

Samuel quietly followed behind. After adding a spell similar to the principle of a telescope to his eyes, he could clearly see the appearance of the piper.The appearance of the Piper is very strange, there is a kind of mystery of unpredictable age, like young and old, in short, he is not a normal person.He was wearing a veritable flowered dress, with colorful pieces of cloth stitched together, rough feet, and some threads were exposed in some places, the color was old and not old, although it was washed very clean, it was also tattered of.

After finishing playing a tune that Samuel didn't know what key it was, the piper looked at the children in front of him and smiled happily. , this guy didn't bring a child to eat it!

The piper whistled, and the eyes of these children suddenly recovered. You looked at me and I looked at him, but you didn’t know what happened. But he whistled again, and these children rolled on the spot, turning into a group of white and fat sheep.

Big change live sheep ah!Samuel was stunned, not because of this strange sight, but because of the powerful mana of the Piper.The transfiguration technique with such a powerful range was carried out in an instant, and the transformation from humans to sheep seemed to have changed their hearts. A group of children who were panicked as humans just now seemed to be sheep, walking on the grass contentedly, from time to time. He gnawed a handful of grass from the ground and chewed.

Samuel can't achieve this effect, so this is a formidable opponent, but Samuel is not afraid, it is the first time he has seen such a powerful witch-wielder—the time he fought against Edwin Not counting.

"What should we do now? This guy is not weak!"

Edwin, lying in Samuel's arms, asked.

Samuel blinked and made a decision in the blink of an eye.

"You restore the prototype, protect those children, and I will lure him away."

According to the general rules of fairy tales, as long as the wizard dies, the witchcraft he performed during his lifetime will naturally disappear, so Samuel plans to deal with him himself.From the fact that the Piper didn't find himself, he could see that he might be stronger than himself, but he couldn't do it in other places. No matter how bad it was, Samuel could escape.

After discussing with Edwin, Samuel canceled the invisibility and jumped up with Edwin.Edwin quickly shifted size in the air, into his most powerful beast form, and charged at the sheep, driving them forward, while Samuel cast a pull spell, imagining Piper It was the kite in his hand, and under the action of this force, he and the piper floated backward together.

Barely drifting away from the place where he saw the child turn into a sheep, Piper broke free from the force Samuel was exerting on him.He laughed dryly:

"Master Shengzi? I didn't expect that a small person like me can work for Mr. Shengzi to judge in person. What an honor!"

The tone of his speech was full of unspeakable irony, but Samuel didn't intend to answer. Like other people in the Holy See, it is too boring to use the current time to preach, condemn, and sentence. It is better to do it directly, so Without saying a word, he drew the long sword hanging from his waist and rushed towards the piper.Like the last time I saw him by the river, the flute player appeared in another direction with a flickering figure. The flute had already been put to his mouth, and he started playing instantly.

Samuel was startled, and wanted to protect his ears quickly, but found that the sound of the flute did not affect him in any way, so after a moment of stagnation, he first confined the space around the piper, and then stabbed him with his sword. Go, stabbed easily into the Piper's chest.

so easy?It can't be an illusion!Samuel put his sword back to protect him, and looked around vigilantly, thinking that the piper would come out from somewhere to attack him, but the piper in front of him who made a sound and threw an unbelievable shot at him was too big. It seems real.

…Samuel had to admit that he really stabbed him just now. The guy who fell on the ground was the flute player he had been facing a formidable enemy before.So what's going on here?

"You didn't respond to my flute! How is this possible!"

I see!Although Samuel didn't know why he didn't respond to the piper's flute, now was not the time to think.He doesn't need to keep this guy for trial, so just kill him.
