Andrew followed the boy through the living room and into the kitchen at the back.
The kitchen was in a mess. The door behind the kitchen was open. The basket on the long table in the kitchen was filled with tomatoes, onions, and carrots. The fireplace was filled with ashes after the firewood had burned out. There was a stove hanging on the fireplace. The iron pot, the things cooked in the iron pot were burnt to a crisp, and even the surroundings of the fireplace were dark with black smoke. Several chairs were overturned on the ground, and the hooks hanging dried meat and ham were still hanging in the corner. over there.
There was still a bitten pig's foot on an iron hook. It looked like a very big ham. Judging from the marks, it must have been chewed up completely by the vicious dogs of hell. There was something on the iron hook. It was even stained with some dried purple blood.
He looked at the layout of the kitchen carefully, as if he was recalling something. He paused for about a minute before starting to take action.
The boy glanced at the corner with some disappointment, where two hams and some dried horsemeat should have been hanging. He found a piece of dry cheese from a cupboard, and a whole stack of baked wheat cakes from the cupboard below. , and picked out onions and carrots that were not rotten from the basket, and quickly put them into his backpack. He didn’t know how many things were packed in his backpack, which looked bulging.
From Surdak's blurred vision, a large round pumpkin could be seen.
The boy looked disappointed and said: "These damn vicious dogs have eaten all the hams here, and they can actually eat our food."
Andrew stood behind the boy and said in a low voice: "They eat everything. They probably didn't find these cheeses and baked wheat cakes, otherwise they wouldn't have left anything for you."
"I originally hoped to find some meat back! This is Old Brown's home. He told me that when he had enough at home, he could also find some ham, so I took the risk and came here." Looking at the vegetables in my backpack, I almost cried. No tears, these things are not enough.
He tried to open all the closet doors, but there were only some kitchen utensils inside, including porcelain, clay pots and the like.
Andrew looked at the boy and thought for a moment before asking: "Do you want to eat meat? It's easy! Is there enough water in the basement where you are hiding?"
The boy nodded vigorously, and then said to Andrew: "Well, there is an underground waterway connected there. Unless that waterway dries up, we will not be short of water."
Andrew nodded, patted his chest with his rough hands, and assured the boy: "That'll be easy! Look at me!"
He very roughly pushed everything on the wooden table to the floor, and found a thick tablecloth to spread on it. He quickly walked out of the kitchen, dragged the corpses of the three hellhounds in the living room into the kitchen, and took them
He took out a skinning knife and quickly peeled off the hell dog's skin, then threw it bloody on the square table. He cut open the chest, pulled out the stinking organs inside, chopped off four claws and tail, and scooped it out of the water tank next to it.
Pour some cold water on it and repeatedly wash away the blood from the hell dog's cavity.
While Andrew was doing these things, the investigation team carefully searched the room. Viscount Emmett was worried that the movement here would attract the hell dogs patrolling the streets, so he sent people to carefully guard the front and back doors, but
In the invisible state, you can only communicate with some simple gestures, and you can only see each other at close range, so communication is very difficult.
Soon, Andrew began to cut the fresh meat from the hell dog, and then found a salt shaker in the kitchen, and sprinkled salt on the fresh meat of the hell dog to marinate it.
While he cut the fresh meat quickly, he warned the boy: "The meat itself contains certain toxins. It must be soaked in water to extract the poisonous blood and cooked before it can be eaten. When we were guarding the city wall, the logistics supply had been
For a time, there was a break, and the meat of these hell dogs was eaten to satisfy hunger, and the weak were fasted."
He picked the meat from the three hell dogs very clean, washed it and marinated it with salt. He picked up the cloth and carried it behind his back, and kept telling him: "You can only eat the cooked meat, but you can't eat it."
Drink soup, otherwise you will have a stomachache."
The boy nodded vigorously like pounding garlic to show that he remembered.
Andrew followed the boy carefully out of the room and asked in a low voice: "We can go to other places to find some food. You are familiar with the town and you should know where the food is. Maybe we can go to a nearby bakery to look for it."
"
The boy cautiously poked his head out of the crack in the door and found that the alley was quiet. He quickly got out of the crack in the door and said to Andrew: "Well, I know where the bakery is, but there is a dog guarding it.
It’s a big dog, I can’t lure it away.”
"We can try it later, but what you need to do now is to transport these things back..." Andrew pointed to the heavy packages on the two of them.
The boy carried a heavy package and climbed up the courtyard wall on his hands and feet, then squatted on the wall and called for Andrew to come up quickly.
Andrew climbed over and climbed up the wall. The whole wall shook slightly. The boy squatted on the wall, his face turned pale, and he stuck out his tongue with an apologetic look on his face and said: "It seems we'd better go under, it's safer..."
Three hell dogs passed by the entrance of the alley, and Andrew hurriedly pulled the boy to lie on the wall. It was not until the hell dogs had gone away that the two of them jumped down from the wall.
The boy led the way. He was very familiar with this town and the roads he took were almost all narrow alleys.
He didn't know that beside Andrew, there were six knights who were hiding in the shadows and watching him silently without saying a word. The words that the boy spoke in Maka dialect and Nanai Aboriginal language were probably only
Only Andrew can communicate smoothly. From time to time, there will be a few hell dogs passing by on the main street. This town is much larger than expected, and the alleys in the houses are very complicated. Probably only boys like boys who have lived in small towns since childhood can
Only the children in the town knew how to get out of the cobweb-like alleys.
As soon as the boy stepped out of a dark alley, he saw two hellhounds digging into a garbage dump. They immediately raised their heads, and their two pairs of purple-striped eyes looked at the boy for two seconds.
In the middle, the hell dog didn't even make any sound. Its huge body turned around flexibly, kicked the ground hard with its hind legs, and rushed towards the boy.
The boy turned around and ran away. The vicious dog rushed behind the boy as fast as lightning, put its claws on the boy's shoulders, and bit into the boy's cervical vertebrae with its huge mouth.
A large ax emerged from the shadow beside the boy, carrying a strong wind.
The hell dog tilted its head and was about to bite the boy's neck. When he saw the giant ax emerging from the shadows, his huge body immediately jumped up, trying to avoid the axe, and bit back at the man holding the ax handle.
Big hands...
Andrew pressed the ax handle hard, and the ax handle sank suddenly. The ax blade struck the hell dog's back, and there was a crisp bone cracking sound. Immediately, the hell dog's back was split by the giant ax, and a bone-deep gash was opened.
Wound.
The hell dog that was following behind was so frightened that it stopped pursuing it. It tucked its tail between its legs, curled up its body, and let out a warning howl toward the empty night sky. However, before the sound could be heard, a fierce attack was heard from its body.
In the shadow on its side, a bloody curved blade appeared out of thin air and cut off its head easily.
Suldak held the bloody vicious dog's head with one hand and the bloody crescent moon with the other hand. Then he kicked away the hell dog's body, walked to Andrew, and took the hell dog from Andrew's hand.
The head was also taken over.
The boy looked at Suldak dumbfounded, then looked at Andrew, and wisely closed his mouth.
"This is my captain..." Andrew felt it was necessary to introduce Surdak's identity to the boy.
The boy nodded, without asking any questions, and walked ahead consciously. The vent in the basement was set up very secretly, just beside the north wall of a small courtyard. There was also an iron window in the vent. The boy
The iron windows were skillfully removed, and the ventilation opening was only one foot square, just enough for the boy to climb in.
He divided the food in the package into several portions and moved the things into the passage bit by bit like a hamster, first the wheat cakes and cheese, then the onions, carrots and pumpkin, and finally some of the vicious dog meat that Andrew had pickled.
By the time the boy climbed up, it had been a while, and Andrew was even a little impatient. Just when he thought the boy might not be able to climb out, the boy climbed out with difficulty. The opening of the hole was very small.
Several places on his body were scratched by the vents, and there were red slap marks on his face.
The boy climbed out and looked at Suldak, confirming again: "Reinforcements from Wozhimala City will be coming soon, right?"
"Of course, Bena's heavy cavalry is fighting a bloody battle with the hell dogs outside the city of Wozhmara, and there are now two full regiments of constructed swordsmen in the city of Wozmara. We are looking for a suitable location to attack.
"Suldak said to the boy.
There was a glimmer of hope on the boy's face, and even his eyes became much brighter.
There was only one sentence after that, but Surdak did not tell the boy: There are three such attack locations. Only when the Devil's Gate or Hell Passage is discovered, the Bena coalition will attack it immediately.
“What’s wrong with your face?” Andrew asked as he leaned in front of the boy.
He reached out to touch it, but the boy turned away.
The boy's eyes dimmed slightly and he explained in a low voice: "They didn't want me to go out and take risks. We had a little argument about this. I know they were concerned about me. They were worried that the reinforcements would not be able to arrive in time. Once something happened to me, many people would
They starved to death in the basement. The exit to the basement was completely blocked from the outside. Without help from outsiders, they couldn't get out at all!"
Suldak patted the boy's thin shoulder and said: "It is indeed dangerous. In fact, you only need to point out the specific direction for us. Of course, it is best to tell us how to go!"
When the boy heard what Surdak said, he shook his head without hesitation, raised his face and said stubbornly: "Since the Bena Swordsmen are here, they will definitely avenge those who died in the town... I will too
We must do something for our loved ones who have returned to the embrace of God Paglio! And... a man must do what he says!"
"Haha!" Surdak couldn't help but smile after hearing this. He was full of affection for this indigenous boy. Surdak asked seriously: "Little man, what's your name?"
“Buta!” replied the boy.
“My name is Suldak!”
Suldak stretched out his fist towards the boy, and the boy also stretched out his fist, and their fists touched together.
…
The residential areas of Meijin Town are very densely built, with stone houses closely packed together and very small yards.
Suldak and Andrew followed Little Buta in sneaking all the way. The three of them almost perfectly avoided the hell dogs patrolling the streets, and traveled through most of the town of Mezu under the cover of night.
The town is very clean, and there are no corpses at all along the way. If it weren't for some dried blood on the street, people might mistakenly think that the residents here just disappeared out of thin air. Surdak looked at the people disappearing on the street.
He dropped one of his boots and couldn't help but express his doubts: "Where are the other people in the town? Have they all been eaten by the vicious dogs of hell?"
The boy Buta shook his head vigorously and lowered his voice and said: "I don't know, the first time I got out of the basement, I saw a lot of hell dogs on the street. At that time, all the hell dogs in this town were killing those hell dogs.
The dead are dragged to the town temple!”
"You mean they always gather human corpses?" Surdak wanted to know what those hell dogs wanted to do, so he asked the boy: "Where is the temple?"
"It's right there..." The boy leaned against the wall and pointed at the tall Gothic-style building not far away hidden in the night.
In the dusk, through the pitch-black night, Surdak saw at a glance hundreds of hell dogs squatting at the door of the temple in the darkness. Among these hell dogs, there were many strong and huge ones.
Travel through it.
The stone slabs of the entire street were stained with a thick layer of bloodstains. These bloodstains were old and new, like dragging tracks. These tracks came from streets and alleys from all directions, and all bloodstains eventually ended up in this temple.
There was an intermittent cry of night owls coming from the temple. This sound seemed to have some kind of magical power, which made people feel upset.
The boy still wanted to go inside, but was grabbed by Suldak. Surdak said to the boy: "We can find a hidden place here to hide..."
The boy looked at Surdak with a puzzled look on his face. Surdak shrugged his shoulders. There were many patrolling hell dogs in the nearby area. The boy climbed over the wall and jumped into a yard. He opened the closed door from the inside and the three of them
People hide in this courtyard.
Just after the three of them hid, the howls of hell dogs were heard one after another in the distance.
“Ouch…”
The hell dogs guarding the door of the temple seemed a little irritable. Some hell dogs chased the sound, but there were still many hell dogs guarding the temple door.
Surdak lay on the roof and quietly stared at the temple. After staring for a while, Surdak found that there were no hell dogs coming out of the temple in a steady stream. This could rule out the possibility of a devil's door or hell here.
The suspicion of the passage, otherwise the hell dogs coming out of here would definitely not be just this little bit.
“Andrew, what do you think is hidden in that temple?” Surdak lay on the ridge of the roof and asked Andrew next to him.
“Maybe we’ll have the answer later…” Andrew replied.
