White Tower Wizard

Chapter 28: Fanatics in the slum

   Under the night, many places in the sky camp were lit up. Without the noise of the day, everything looked so peaceful and peaceful.

   But there is one exception, and that is the slums around the mining area. The ugly houses are densely arranged, and they overlap each other randomly, like the scars of the entire sky camp. No one can use any beautiful words to describe it when they see it.

   There is a large area of ​​slums in the sky camp, but here alone, it can be regarded as "slums in slums".

There are no lights to see in this area. Many people rely on dim firelight to illuminate. Many houses don’t look like houses at all. They are just shacks. The people who live here are basically the "old, weak and sick." Disabled".

A young girl in a white dress is touching the black and rushing through the alleys in this area. She runs very fast, like a sensitive swallow, and the maze of bizarre and tortuous lanes has not caused her. Regardless of any influence, the wisp of white is unusually eye-catching in the dark.

   Yes, this is the little girl named Alice with piercing eyes.

At night in the sky camp, the cold wind was very heavy, and I saw Alice holding her hands tightly in her arms, and the skirt of the dress ran along, wafting in the cold wind. Such thin clothes obviously could not withstand the cold at night. , But she didn't care as if she didn't feel it, obviously she was used to it a long time ago.

Because she really ran too long to continue to support her, after turning a corner, she stopped in place and rested, panting heavily, and her little face was so cold It was a bit more rosy, and looked like a poor cat again.

   After breathing for more than ten breaths, she raised her head and looked at the front with big bright eyes. There was a bonfire at the end of the lane, and there was her home.

   "Come on, Alice, it's almost here, Mom is still waiting for you to go back!"

   She secretly cheered herself up.

   Just when she was about to run home in a hurry, she suddenly saw a large group of people holding torches appear at the place where the bonfire was lit, and her face instantly changed.

   "No, no, don't..."

   As she yelled, she rushed over faster than before.

Soon she ran to the door of her house, and by the light of the bonfire, she saw a group of people in black robes with torches in their hands. One of them was walking towards the small broken wooden door of her house, seemingly wanting to enter the house. .

   She knows that these people are basically residents living in slums, and there are even several neighbors who live nearby, but at this moment, she feels that these people are strangely strange.

  Since many people in the slums became ill, I don’t know when they started. There was a man who claimed to be the God of Healing to develop believers and preach doctrines in the slums. Many people who didn't have the money to go to the hospital, went to him for treatment, and they really recovered.

   But after returning, he became a believer of the God of Healing, wearing black robes every night, listening to the doctrines conveyed by the envoy in secret. Then he forced everyone more and more to listen to the doctrine.

   These people have become fanatical believers...

   Alice rushed over, panting and standing directly at her door, blocking the black robe man. She was a little scared, but she said decisively:

   "My mother is sick, she is so sick that she can't get out of bed at all!"

  The black-robed man was covered all over his body, the face in the hood was expressionless, his eyes downward, and he glanced gently at the "little point" in front of him, and said feverishly:

"Everyone has to listen to the teachings of the envoy, and those who are sick are no exception. Moreover, only by listening to the doctrines conveyed by the envoy can sick people heal faster, just like us. Bathed in the glory of God, this is supreme An honor!"

   "Boy, get away!"

   After speaking, the black-robed man violently pushed Alice away. But what he didn't expect was that Alice stubbornly squeezed back after almost falling.

"Do not!"

   Alice raised her head, looked at the black-robed man firmly with big bright eyes, and expressed her attitude.

   "Boy, I'll say it again... Get off!"

  The black robe man's tone suppressed his anger.

"Do not!"

   Alice still did not back down.

   "You angered me! Kid..."

  The black-robed man raised his hand high, as if he would slap Alice on the body in the next moment.

   Alice lowered her head slightly and squinted her eyes lightly. She seemed to be a little afraid of the pain that was about to come on her body. Some trembling body still exposed her inner fear and anxiety, but she still did not back down.

   But the pain she expected did not come, opened her eyes and saw that a boy dressed up like a newsboy was reaching out to block her in front.

   "Nick!"

   She called out the boy's name in surprise.

  The black-robed man saw that another blocker appeared, and became even more angry. When he was about to speak something, someone in the crowd behind him spoke.

   "...Forget it, let's go, it was too much time, I was late at the assembly, but I was very disrespectful to the angel..."

   "Look at her ears! This little girl is a half-elf! The envoy said that all non-human races are low and mean, and she and her mother must be the same!"

   "The envoy said that they are the source of the plague! We will get sick because of their existence. Let them wait to die! They have no chance to receive the healing of God!"

   "Go to death! Mixed bastard..."

   Alice looked at the agitated crowd, and her heart became more and more frightened. She didn't understand why people who had been very familiar with them had become so strange. From the amiable faces in the usual days, such vicious words can also be said.

   There was even a man in a black robe in the crowd. He picked up a stone and threw it at her, scaring her to close her eyes.

   But it's okay, other than that, there was no more radical behavior in the crowd. After the uproar, the black-robed people quickly left with torches.

  Under the light of the fire, Alice saw that their shadows were stretched so long, so terrifying...

   "Good risk! These lunatics are getting more and more..."

   Watching the people in the black robes leave, Nico, who stood in front of Alice, was relieved and turned around to look at her.

   "Are you not hurt?"

   Alice shook her head slightly, and instead asked, "Nick, are you coming back? Why is it so late today? I remember that you went to sell newspapers today, right?"

   "Oh! By the way, do you have anything to eat? Are you hungry? Look, this is my ‘harvest’ today, I can give you a little bit."

   Alice said, loosening her hands tightly in her arms. It turned out that she had been holding a small paper bag. Until this time, feeling safe, she smiled and opened the paper bag to show it in front of Nick.

   Nick glanced lightly at the contents of the bag: a few red fruits that were about to go bad, a small piece of dirty, hard brown bread, nothing else...

   With his hands behind his back, he clenched his fists in a tangled manner. At the moment no one noticed, the corners of his mouth twitched down, his mood was a little depressed, but he still pretended to be amazed and said, "Wow! There are fruits!"

   "Hee hee, I knew you would be surprised, but I waited a long time at the back door of the grain store to find it! Here, I can give you one."

   Alice didn't think much, she happily took a fruit out of her pocket and handed it to Nick.

   Nick didn't hesitate, took a bite of the fruit.

   "Haha, it's so sweet! Thank you, little!"

Then he nibbled the fruit and said casually: "By the way, today's newspapers are selling very well, and I made a small profit, haha! I bought some bread when I came back, and this one is for you. , Take it, as a thank you for giving me the fruit."

   He took out a paper bag from his backpack and gave it back to Alice.

   "Nick! Don't call me "smaller", obviously you are only a few months older than me..."

   Alice opened the bag with some annoyance, and found that there was still more than half a loaf of bread inside. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "So much? No, Nick, I can't ask for..."

   "Oh, you are really troublesome if you don't, I said I made a fortune by selling newspapers today!" Nick was a little unhappy, and said sternly.

   "...That's it. Give me this piece and give you the rest."

   Alice tore off a small piece of bread from the paper bag, and then returned the rest to Nick.

   "It's delicious, thank you too! Hee hee..."

   watching while eating bread, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com smiled silly Alice, and Nick holding the paper bag with a very helpless expression.

   "Forget it, I really can't do anything with you!" Nick was a little frustrated, and continued: "But I am still very unlucky today, or I should have been back long ago, how could I make it so late!"

   "What happened?" Alice asked curiously.

   "Don't mention it, when I was selling newspapers, I actually met a customer who had stolen money from me two days ago, and he recognized him. What a bad luck!"

   "Ah! Nothing happened, right? So Nick, you can't be a thief anymore!"

   Alice was very surprised by the accident, but also a little worried.

   "Haha, that idiot followed me all the way. But when I got to the depths of the slum, I got rid of him easily."

  Nick felt a little proud of himself, as if it were his glory.

   "Huh? Chasing you like this...who is it? How much did you steal from him?" Alice felt a little unbelievable.

   "It's irritating to talk about it, that's the person you told me the other day! I just stole a few copper plates from him, as for chasing me for so long?" Nick said angrily.

   "Ha! Isn't it Mr. Green? Mr. Green is a good man, you should apologize to him."

   Alice thought of the person who gave him the bread the other day, and was a little happy.

"Hey, good guy? Little, you might be right. Good guys don’t live long. I don’t think his life will last. I saw two people stun him, kidnapped him, and said Maybe I don’t know which pit it was buried in now. Hey, now he can’t trouble me!"

   Nick said somewhat gleefully.

"what!"
