Dulan's speed is very fast. After turning on the Wind God Pattern, with the support of the power of fire, his speed is far faster than that of an ordinary horse!
In the blink of an eye, he surpassed Jane and Xina and rushed into the Big Pudding City.
At this time, Big Pudding City can be said to be in chaos on the surface. Crying and wailing filled every corner of the city. People were running around in panic, but the smart people chose to seal their homes tightly.
, or hide in the cellar.
On weekdays, the largest trading city in the south fell into complete chaos on the night of the Harvest Festival.
"Hmm? The people in the City Guards are doing a good job, aren't they? The situation is a little more stable than I thought."
Although there were still many people crying and running along the way, Duran noticed that the people of the city guard moved very quickly. Wherever the Oser virus appeared, strong men would soon appear to eliminate it.
This made Duran extremely confused. It stands to reason that after the death of Count Lyle, the city defense of Big Pudding City should have fallen into a leaderless situation. Facing the attack of the Orser monsters, they could not react so calmly.
"Looking at this posture, someone should be under unified command!"
Dulan murmured in his heart, and when the people from the city guard passed by, he pretended to be an ordinary person, lowered his head and quickly passed by them.
The situation is still chaotic, but under the leadership of the knights in black armor, it has gradually tilted towards the human side.
This is not surprising to Duran. After all, he did not sense the breath of any large-scale teleportation magic. If the [Door of Disaster] had not been opened, then the number of Orser monsters that appeared in the Big Pudding City was destined to be limited.
As long as humans react, these monsters will eventually be slowly eliminated.
"But if not to open the door to disaster, why would Mother Orser do this? Just for fun?"
Duran could still understand Jules' motives, but the thoughts of the man behind him puzzled Duran.
But he quickly put this problem behind him. No matter what Mother Other wanted to do, the more chaotic the situation, the better for Duran. Only in a situation of great chaos can Duran fish in troubled waters and find the real crown of the deep sea.
"What else did the two elf envoys secretly tell you?" Duran asked Ned in his sleeves as he walked towards the city lord's mansion.
"Hey, they secretly told me the specific direction of the Deep Sea Crown." Ned said proudly: "I'm afraid those two women don't know. After all, you see there are flames everywhere in this city, and the Deep Sea Crown is hidden in the fire.
They definitely don’t know which ball of fire is inside.”
"But I know the specific location."
"Are you sure you are in the previous city lord's mansion?" Duran asked.
Ned nodded affirmatively.
Duran looked thoughtfully at the flames and smoke rising high in front of him. It seemed that the real Crown of the Deep Sea had indeed been tampered with by Count Lyle.
…
The numerous carriages that had gathered in front of the palace of the city lord in the early days had already been swept away. The besieged nobles escaped with the help of the city lord's guards and left the place in a hurry.
At this time, the City Lord's Mansion seemed more chaotic than other places. Flames rose from the rear. Some soldiers, under the command of a tall man, fetched water from a nearby well in an attempt to extinguish the flames.
"Hurry up!"
"You two, move quickly! Put out this fire as soon as possible!"
The man's voice was filled with anxiety and supreme majesty. As soon as he heard this voice, Dulan couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He leaned over and took a closer look.
"Holy shit!"
This sight surprised Duran. The person standing in front of the flames and commanding everyone's actions vigorously was none other than Count Lyle himself.
"This guy is not dead!"
Dulan was extremely shocked.
He and Jane witnessed Count Lyle being killed by the rampaging Jules!
But the fact that was right in front of him could not be changed. Count Lyle used some means to save his life from Jules' hands.
At this time, the earl was still holding the snake-shaped sword. Judging from his appearance, he should have gone through several battles. However, his opponents should not be able to pose a threat to him.
Standing next to him were two gold-level masters, reporting the situation to him.
Duran turned his perception to the maximum and listened carefully:
"...There are still a few monsters in the east, but I have sent people to eliminate them. I believe that these monsters will be swept away from the city soon."
"We suffered a lot tonight, especially the brothers in the guard. At least one-third of them died under the attack of those Orser monsters because they were caught off guard. Fortunately, we have the situation under control now. Before dawn,
We should be able to destroy all the monsters, but the price will be... very heavy."
"I see."
Listening to the adjutant's report, Count Lyle showed a hint of weariness on his face, and he waved his hand to signal the two of them to leave.
The number one trading city in the south is probably going to face a long period of downturn. A large number of Orser monsters have appeared, and even the main guard of the city has suffered heavy losses. This situation will undoubtedly make timid merchants fearful. In the past,
It will probably be even more difficult to recreate the bustling trade scene.
It's just that the current Count Lyle doesn't seem to care about this, and his eyes are firmly focused on the flames.
The cause of this fire was a mutated Orser pathogen. These Orser pathogens were covered in flames, and like those terrifying abyss demons, they could ignite all flammable objects wherever they went. All kinds of fires in Big Pudding City
It was caused by these Orser pathogens, and the residence of Count Lyall was naturally the same.
"The flames are so big, no one can get in and take a look." Dulan started sneaking and slipped around outside the city lord's mansion, frowning.
The raging fire did not seem to subside despite the efforts of the soldiers, but instead tended to intensify.
Originally the fire was limited to the backyard and the middle part, but in just a few minutes, it had moved to the left and right.
"Damn it, how do these guys do things!?" Count Lyle became more and more anxious as he watched, and couldn't help but cursed: "The houses on the left and right are about to catch fire, who knows what's inside?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Originally, these things were all controlled by an old butler, but the old butler was very unfortunate and died under the attack of the Orser monster. In fact, not only the old butler, but also many people in the Earl's Mansion died.
In the mouth of the Orser monster.
"Father...I seem to know a little bit..."
A timid voice suddenly came out.
As soon as he saw that handsome face, Count Lyle couldn't help but feel angry. Jules' previous words seemed to still be in his ears. Although the second son had done something treacherous, there was no need for him to lie at that time.
Of his two sons, one was loved by him, but slept with every one of his women; the other was ignored by him, but he was very outstanding, and in the end he almost succeeded in killing his father... No, Jules had actually already
Success, if not for the cross rebirth talisman.
When he thought of this, the anger in the earl's heart burst out uncontrollably.
He glared at his eldest son Lawson, who shrank his head in fear.
"Speak quickly!" the count said impatiently, suppressing his murderous intention.
"The warehouse on the left is for storing daily necessities. It is not very important." Rosen said slowly: "But the warehouse on the right is a recent batch of sulfur and coal mines..."
Earl Lyle suddenly took a breath of cold air. What if the flames spread to the warehouse on the right and ignited the coal mines and sulfur?
He was about to order everyone to move the things out of the warehouse on the right, when he suddenly got excited and asked sharply: "How do you know?"
Lawson has always been a playboy, how could he know such detailed things?
Under the Earl's stern gaze, Rosen suddenly became silent and did not dare to say anything more.
Count Lyle closed his eyes in disappointment. He immediately guessed how Rosen knew.
"This kid obviously found out when he was having an affair with his father's wife in a warehouse!" Dulan, who was hiding in the dark, muttered in his heart, Count Lyle can be considered an unlucky guy. A son to give him
The father wore a huge cuckold, and the other son was even crazier. Not only did he attract the Orser monster, but he almost killed his father.
"It seems that we can only go in after the flames subside." Dulan looked at everything around him and could only think this way.
He didn't dare to rush in. Although the Flame King could withstand considerable fire damage, he was not completely immune. In the face of such high-temperature flames, unless it was a pure fire element...
"Wait? Fire element?" Duran's eyes lit up, and he pulled Ned out of his sleeve: "By the way, Ned, let me ask you a question."
Looking into Duran's eyes, Ned immediately understood his intention.
The little fat man suddenly made a noise like a rattle: "I don't want to run into the fire to find you that deep sea crown! Although the flames will not harm me, but if the count discovers it, he will
With swordsmanship that reaches the level of a master, I don't even have room to escape."
"Hey, listen, Ned. I just need you to sneak in and take things out secretly. You are so small that you won't be discovered by Earl Lyle." Duran encouraged: "As long as you are careful.
,The flame is so big, who can see you!"
"Just help me once, okay? I really need that heart of ice."
The little fat man nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I'll help you go in and look for it..."
But before he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the flames.
Then there was a rumbling explosion.
"Oops, that warehouse was also affected by the flames!" Duran took a breath. After the continuous explosions, the intensity of the fire was astonishing, connecting all the buildings on the street together.
Several soldiers who were unable to escape were also injured by the explosion, screaming and rolling on the ground.
