False prophecies kill people [Western Fantasy]

The hemp rope behind him was tightly tied, the windows of the prison car were covered with thick cloth, and some damp straw was still padded on the wooden boards at the bottom of the car.

The carriage—maybe it was an ox cart, or a donkey cart—was driving on the bumpy gravel road, the creaking sound of the wooden wheels mixed with the voices of people talking outside the window, Xie Yi listened, trying to find a way to untie the shackles.

To be on the safe side, those who captured him also tied his mouth with cloth strips, Xie Yi couldn't recite the spell, his hands were tied, and it seemed that he was completely unable to escape.

He tried hard to move his fingers, bent his legs to move his body, and tried to lean against the wall.

Xie Yi straightened his back. Through repeated attempts, the fingertip of his right index finger could barely slide on the wall of the carriage. As long as he could draw a spell of wind blade on the wall of the carriage, the hemp rope binding his hands would be blown by the wind. Blade cut.

However, this is not an easy task.

The incantations are complicated and precise, Xie Yi can barely move his right index finger now, he can't see the situation behind him, the vehicle is still very bumpy, and the walls of the car are constantly shaking.

Xie Yi gritted his teeth and tried again and again, but all failed.

The surroundings gradually became noisy, and many human voices mixed together.

"Who is locked in here?"

"A robber."

The male voice who originally said that as long as Xie Yi is handed over to the soldiers can make a fortune said vaguely: "I heard that a robber can exchange a gold coin?"

"Of course!"

Xie Yi heard him say triumphantly before, "This wizard is worth one hundred thousand gold coins and a baron's title."

Probably to avoid contention, that person would not reveal the identity of the person in the prison van until the person was delivered to the soldiers.

At the same time, Xie Yi could also feel that the ground became much flatter. It may be that the walls of the car became much more stable in a more prosperous area.

This is Xie Yi's chance.

Concentrated and calm, he carved the rune stroke by stroke with his stiff fingertips.

The prison cart continued to move forward, and the man pulling the cart saw the soldiers guarding the city gate from a distance, and his heart was burning.

The few people who were traveling with him were equally happy.

"Isn't he just a robber worth one gold coin, why are you so happy?"

Someone muttered, very puzzled by the joy of these people.

Some people sneered directly: "Hillbilly."

The youngest boy among those who were ridiculed was a little impatient. He glared at the citizen who scolded them as a country bumpkin with a flushed face, and said angrily, "What do you know..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the leader pulling the cart. He gave the young man a stern look, and hinted in his words: "Don't quarrel with others."

The young man shut his mouth embarrassingly.

They were getting closer and closer to the soldiers.

Xie Yi's runes were not finished yet.

In the dark and narrow space, he could almost hear his rapid panting.

He can't go wrong, absolutely not, this is his last chance.

"Adults!"

The man pulling the cart shouted, his voice was loud and full of excitement and joy.

Only the last stroke is left, absolutely can't go wrong!

Xie Yi gritted his teeth, and made the last stroke heavily.

When the index finger drew the last line, the quiet small wind blade rolled up, cut the hemp rope binding Xie Yi's hands, and cut his wrist.

Xie Yi didn't care about the wound on his wrist, he tore off the cloth that bound his mouth, and quickly chanted a series of incantations.

The door curtain of the prison car was lifted with a "swish", and at the same time, the last syllable of the Invisibility Curse just dropped.

The soldier who opened the curtain glanced around the interior of the carriage. The carriage was extremely small and empty, except for broken hemp ropes and strips of cloth scattered on the ground, there was nothing.

There are no wizards at all.

The soldiers were about to reprimand these people for looking for trouble when they were stopped by a higher-ranking officer.

Xie Yi sat in the corner of the carriage, motionless, not daring to make any sound.

The officer in black armor smiled and asked the men who were frightened and sweating profusely: "You said you caught the wizard? Is that true?"

The leading man pulling the cart glanced at the interior of the carriage in bewilderment, it was empty inside, "Really, it is true, I swear to the Supreme God, everything I said is true, we really caught the wizard, but……"

The officer nodded with a smile, turned around and said to the soldiers: "I'd rather kill the wrong one than let him go. Martial law is imposed. Send three teams to hunt down the wizard. If he really escapes on the way, he must not be far away."

"As for you..."

The officer said to the group of frightened men huddled together like a group of chicks: "Since you have caught the wizard, you must recognize him. Come and show us the way now. If you see any suspicious people, immediately Point it out to us, if we find the wizard, your reward will still be there, if you can't find it, even if you make a false report, according to the military law, each of you will receive ten lashes, understand?"

Xie Yi sat in the carriage, motionless, maintaining the original posture.

He watched as the officer ordered his men to go, and began to move with great fanfare.

I don't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, but the black covering cloth on the prison car was not put down.

Xie Yi didn't dare to act presumptuously, because he found that a soldier was observing the interior of the carriage intentionally or unintentionally.

Xie Yi was stiff all over, but he didn't even dare to stretch his limbs.

He was sure that if he had knocked down a straw, the soldier staring inside the wagon would have spotted him at once.

But the invisibility technique has a time limit, even if Xie Yi improves it, it can only last for half an hour.Taking a step back, even if its time limit is infinite, it is impossible for Xie Yi to remain motionless for such a long time.

He had to find a way to distract these people.

Xie Yi stayed in the carriage, with a narrow field of vision. He first observed carefully for a while, and planned a feasible escape route, then looked at the other side, and silently and quickly chanted the spell.

The soldiers who were staring at the carriage vaguely were attracted by the sudden explosion. Xie Yi took the opportunity to get off the carriage and had a wider view, and precisely chose the place where their leather armor weapons were stored and released them. Two blasts.

Most of the people ran to that place, but there were still some people who didn't move, sticking to their posts.

A drop of cold sweat slid down Xie Yi's forehead. The crisis is not over yet, so he can't act rashly.

Finally, after overcoming many obstacles, Xie Yi finally escaped from the patrol area of ​​the soldiers.

However, there is not much time left for invisibility.

He must find a hidden place to hide.

Xie Yi kept walking, turned into a tavern, and hid in the storeroom of the tavern.

After the invisibility spell expired, he immediately recited the incantation spell again.

Now he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was walking on the street, scanning the buildings on both sides. Finally, he found a vacant room. According to the gossip he heard, this was a room that the tenant had just moved out, and the new tenant would wait another week. just came.

Xie Yi never let go of her vigilance and hid in the closet.

There are still some clothes in the closet that the previous tenant did not take away.

Xie Yi didn't care about the dislike, so he casually took one of the men's clothes and put it on, burning the wizard robe he was wearing.

Finally settled down, Xie Yi began to have time to think about her current situation.

Needless to say, he must now have come to a parallel time and space, or another timeline, this is not the first time, there is no need to make a fuss.

On the surface, this seemed to be the last counterattack of the sky goddess before she died, but Xie Yi always felt that things would not be so simple.

According to his conversation with the Sky Goddess, he learned that the reason why the Sky Goddess targeted Sexitus was not because Sexitus would destroy the world, but because Sexitus was destined to kill the Sky Goddess, so in order to save his own life , the goddess of the sky began to chase Sexitus frantically.

Would such a god with such a strong desire to survive really accept his fate so simply?

What made him even more weird was the attitude of the Sky Goddess—I don't know if it's appropriate to call her a Goddess now—Xie Yi could hear anger and hatred in the voice of the Sky Goddess, but he didn't find despair in it.

This is absolutely not normal.

The Sky Goddess made all kinds of efforts to survive, but she still couldn't escape her fate. Obviously, if the Sky Goddess was really about to die, there must be despair in her voice.

But no, His words only contained hatred towards Xie Yi.

In addition, their previous action to destroy the Temple of the Sky Goddess was too smooth, and they hardly encountered any decent resistance, so they went straight to the end with such force.

Even if the dog jumps over the wall, the goddess of the sky is also a god. He is about to face the threat of death. Think, obviously something is wrong.

What does the goddess of the sky want to do?

In other words, what other tricks does He have?

Xie Yi frowned as he thought of the mysterious wizard whom he had never found.

There is too little information now, and it is already the limit to infer here.

Anyway, the most important thing now is to escape.

He originally wanted to leave the city as soon as possible, but the city is completely under martial law, no one is allowed to enter or leave, Xie Yi is penniless, in order to survive, he has to steal some bread every day, white bread is a delicate food that only nobles can enjoy, Xie Yi Can only get some black bread.

In order not to arouse the vigilance of those soldiers, Xie Yi did not dare to make any big moves. The white bread disappeared for no reason, which would definitely arouse the vigilance of the soldiers, so Xie Yi only dared to steal one or two cheap black breads. Swallowed with sour beer.

This kind of life is too bitter, and the pampered earthlings can't stand it after a few days. As soon as the city gate reopens, Xie Yi throws away the black bread that he barely ate a few bites of, and can't wait to go out.

Even though Xie Yi's portrait was pasted on the city gate, and the soldiers strictly checked everyone who wanted to go out, Xie Yi was not afraid.

He didn't worry about the inspection at all, the invisibility technique could last for half an hour, as long as he was careful enough, he could leave under the eyes of the soldiers without fear at all.

However, when he walked to the gate of the city, he discovered a piece of news that was very unfavorable to him.

——The ground at the city gate is all covered with metal plates refined from magic gold.

If you want to get out, you have to step on the metal plate. However, once you step on it, Xie Yi's invisibility will be invalidated immediately. The soldiers are still holding his portrait to check one by one. If he goes out rashly, it is tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. .

What should I do?

·

It has been three days since the city gate was opened, and the escaped wizard has never been caught.

Those country bumpkins went back crying after receiving ten lashes, but the soldiers still did not let down their vigilance and meticulously checked all the people who wanted to leave the city with the wizard's portrait.

"next."

After signaling the person in front of him to pass the inspection, the soldier turned his attention to the next person.

This is a lady, wearing a simple long skirt, her slender waist is tightly stretched, judging from the exposed white hands, this must be a pampered noble lady.

However, she was not sitting in a carriage, nor was she accompanied by a servant, and she was still wearing such crude clothes. Maybe she ran away from home?

The soldier changed his mind, but he didn't care about it. He held the portrait and said, "Ma'am, please take off the veil."

A thin voice came from under the veil: "Can't you see that I am a woman?"

Soldier: "Excuse me ma'am, I have to do my duty."

If he can't see the face, he won't let someone go, even if he knows that the person in front of him is indeed a woman.

The two stalemate for a while, and finally, the girl gave in. She reached out and took off her veil, revealing an incomparably beautiful face.

Her cheeks were flushed, as if she was angry at the soldier's rudeness, her long eyelashes blinked twice quickly, and then drooped low, her bright red lips like pomegranates moved a few times, her voice was still Weakly: "Is it okay now?"

The soldier recovered from his stupefaction, his face was flushed, and he stuttered: "... But, it's okay, ma'am, please, please go slowly."

The girl Xie Yi put on her veil again, her beating heart gradually calmed down.

However, just as he was about to step out of the city gate, a familiar voice stopped him.

"stop."

The voice carried a force that could not be resisted. Immediately afterwards, the man got off his horse and strode towards Xie Yi.

Xie Yi froze from fright, but still tried to calm down.

Sexitus came up to him.

The Sexitus in front of him is obviously more mature than the Sexitus he is familiar with, but still younger than Langlock.

His body was mixed with the temperament of Sexitus and Langlock that Xie Yi was familiar with, as if it was the fusion of the original Sexitus and Langlock.

He stood in front of Xie Yi with all the majesty and the evil spirit that came from the blood.

Xie Yi took a step back subconsciously.

... Am I being recognized?

He thought nervously, and began to think quickly about countermeasures.

"Look what I've found?" Sexitus said with a smile.He took off Xie Yi's veil, reached out and squeezed his chin, forcing him to raise his head.

The city gate, which was bustling and noisy, is now quiet, and everyone's eyes are on Sexitus.

"This face, this kind of skin... but wearing such ordinary, such tattered clothes."

Sexitus stared at Xie Yi closely, Xie Yi almost fought with him, but fortunately he forcibly held back.

"Oh, I can see from your eyes that you know me, but you don't seem to like me very much..."

Sexitus snorted, "Let me guess, dear lady, you came from a certain noble family, and one day, someone told you suddenly that your family needs to go to the palace in a prison car, and then you Your family let you escape, didn’t you?”

The girl whose chin was pinched turned her head away, as if she had been stabbed in her heart, but her voice was still very weak, "...What do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything." The emperor who ruled nearly the entire continent smiled: "I just want to remind you that you belong to me, and now you are caught by me."

"Be wise, my dear, and come with me."

Although everyone could see the reluctance on the girl's face, she still had to obey the emperor's order.

The emperor got on his horse and stretched out his hand: "Be a good girl and give me your hand."
