The door was sealed by the runes of [Arcane Lock], and the secret symbols symbolizing order shone brightly, illuminating the dim morning and preventing any outsiders from trying to open it.
Bright red liquid flowed on the floor and out of the door.
But every experienced adventurer understands that the rogue’s nimble fingers are not the only option to open the door——
"Step aside!"
Jacks raised the magic halberd, his muscles suddenly exerting force.
【Powerful attack】
The halberd was smashed out, causing the wooden door to break.
The scene in the room catches the eye——
Chabarron, whose facial features were bleeding, lay on the floor in a pool of red.
Jacks breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the scene in front of him.
Because the red liquid is not blood - this may be the only lucky thing.
In the sky, the pale silver celestial eagle was carrying an empty glass bottle - a bottle containing a healing potion. Just now, it followed the owner's instructions in advance and poured the healing potion on him when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death. (Note)
)
On the comatose Chabron, a halo representing positive energy was lighting up, and the life-calling elixir was repairing his damaged internal organs and skin.
Theoretically, because of the [Aura of Rules] on his body, Chabron does not need any physiological buffering. Raising his HP to 1 is enough for him to regain consciousness, wake up and get up, and share the secrets he has discovered with other strangers.
But the gaze cast by the gods also severely damaged his spirit, making it impossible for him to wake up immediately even if he was treated.
Matruh immediately used his extraordinary medical knowledge to check Shabron's body and determined that the blond boy in his arms was not in danger.
Afterwards, he and Jacks carried Chabron to the bed.
The old priest Matru said calmly:
"Xia Bron is not seriously injured, but with the help of the prophecy ritual, he saw something very scary, and it may take some time before he wakes up."
Behind the silver-haired old priest, another silver-haired child, An Luo, followed:
"Before brother Xia Bron fell into coma, did he see... the way for us to leave Wind's Breath Town, or even the answer to calm all the abnormalities?"
Matru looked at the unconscious blond boy on the bed and sighed softly:
"maybe."
Jacks stared at Chabron on the bed - the little priest's face, which was originally as delicate as a porcelain doll, was now as pale as snow. Then, the man narrowed his eyes slightly.
Rather, the strangest thing is that Chabron is not seriously ill.
He wanted to say something, but there was no time——
Just then, the piercing siren sounded!
The [alarm spell] Arya had placed around the house in advance was triggered.
----------------
At the same time, the black cat demon pet, which had been observing the situation by the window, also conveyed uneasiness and fear to its owner through [Soul Connection]——
Everyone saw the scene outside the window:
With batons or machetes in hand, the townsfolk of Wind's End were like puppets on strings, approaching Jacks' house in groups.
Negotiations with the Iron Book failed, or maybe it never expected to succeed in the first place.
Walking at the front of the crowd were five grinning scarecrows in coarse cloth - their bodies, arms and legs were all made of cut wood tied with ropes, with broken strips of cloth covering their skeletons.
Mixed with glass and straw, they carve faces with hollow eyes and burning light emanating from the eye holes.
---------------
Jacks killed the only iron book in the house with one blow. He handed the collected pistol to his nephew An Luo:
"Aim this gun at the heads of all those who attack you, just like Uncle Victor taught you before. If necessary, drink the blood-awakening potion in the bag at any time."
The little silver-haired boy An Luo took the pistol and was silent, just nodding lightly.
Then, he turned to his orange-haired niece:
"Arya, just like you said in front of the brazier yesterday afternoon - please use your power to protect everyone."
The mage girl Arya clenched her short wand and put it on her chest. She tried hard to salute like the adult mage, and then nodded vigorously:
"Please, leave it to Arya!"
It seemed like he was back to the time of adventure in the past. Jacks put on the [Tranquility Helmet], checked the [Acceleration Wing Boots] on his feet, put the magic potion on his waist, and summoned the enchanted halberd and the fine gold covering his body.
Plate Armor - The enchantment on them allows the owner to summon them with a command.
"Uncle, we are going to fight."
The man opened the door and stood in front of it.
Jacks' usual cheerful and decadent expression was completely gone. His facial features were like hard and powerful sculptures, and his eyes were sharp and deep.
Above his head, the twilight of dawn and the twilight of night were competing for territory on the sky. A clear dividing line divided the day and the night.
Behind him are houses, and behind them is the rising sun; in front of him, in the direction of the remaining darkness, groups of townspeople are shouting slogans, smashing walls, and rushing into gardens.
Ahead, the queue to punish the strangers was very long, and they did so with their families in tow——
The twilight old man was pulled up from the hospital bed and carried on his back, just to participate in the "encirclement and suppression of those who disobey the order"; the mother held the infant in her arms to show that the unweaned baby had not escaped from the battle and could avoid punishment.
"death penalty!"
"death penalty!"
"death penalty!"
"death penalty!"
"death penalty!"
"death penalty!"
The deafening slogans were heard one after another!
Slogan is the pillar of the group, the bond that maintains the unity of the soul, and the baton that directs the direction of anger.
The holy book has already issued the strictest instructions, and even not trying hard enough to eliminate the foreign thugs is considered a kind of betrayal.
If Jacks' opponent was an armed force wearing armor and holding weapons, he would naturally not intend to face a head-on confrontation, but would consider using other tactics to avoid a head-on confrontation. But now, in front of him is just a ragtag group mainly composed of civilians.
There is no comparison with professional soldiers or militiamen.
The weight of the enchanted adamantine plate armor fell evenly on his body. Jacks seemed to have relived the moment when he faced a sea of monsters in his old adventures.
What if the person standing in his position is one of them? The short gentleman Richard may cast an illusion that is more real than reality, reshape the Windless Town with words and fantasy, and then make a wish to reality itself;
And what about her, when faced with the situation in front of her, will she look for allies from other worlds, or even call on the power of the "Deathrattle Girl" to intervene directly?
He thought again of General Victor (who was not a general at that time).
The words of the conservative and hawkish officer still echoed in Jacks' ears:
"Terrorist attacks, slavery, drug trafficking, human trafficking... crimes are not mitigated by the number of perpetrators.
“If one person is trafficking in humans, that person will be executed; if there are 100,000 people who are trafficking in humans, 100,000 people will be executed.
“If a kingdom and a nation are terrorists, then the kingdom will be overthrown and the nation will be wiped out.
"Sometimes the world is so simple."
----------
Getting rid of the old memories, Jacks took a step forward, stepping on the ground into a circle, and the halberd in his hand outlined the area in the air. Using the inhuman body of this world and the supernatural principles of human mechanics, the unfailing sentinel constructed a unique
Martial arts stance.
"My little Chabron, I'm so sorry. Maybe when you wake up," the man pointed his halberd forward, muttering to himself, "you need to walk through the sea of corpses."
(Note: Why is the potion poured on the body instead of drinking? Of course it is to pay tribute to the healing puddle where the potion is thrown in "Divinity Original Sin 3".)
