"Oh..." Although it wasn't clear why Riven suddenly changed her mind, Mina accepted.

Riven did not explain why she left.

"Sister Riven, are you afraid of being a soldier?" Mina noticed the sweat dripping down from Riven's forehead.

"Are children so keen?" Riven thought.

"Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you?" Riven tried to change the subject.

"Mina is not tired! I am exercising every day, and my body is very strong!" Mina raised her arms to show her physique, "Right! I know a secret passage! I can go to the East End soon! This way! this way!"

Riven gave a wry smile. She realized that she was really not very good at dealing with children, and was dragged by Mina to trot down the street.

"Here and here!" Mina dragged Riven to a very narrow path. There was no room for clutter, and the space was very small. "Cross here and you'll be in the East District in no time!"

"This..." Riven looked at the alley in embarrassment. A child might be able to get through it easily, but it was too difficult for her.

"Come on, come on!" Mina let go of Riven's hand and rushed into the narrow alley first.

"Really..." Riven took the bag from behind, raised it over her head, and slid sideways into the alley.

The narrow alley is really very narrow, Riven's chest and back are pinched by the wall, which makes her a little uncomfortable.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Mina turned a corner and urged Riven back.

"This alley is pretty long." Riven squeezed her way through the corner, feeling like an eel in a ditch.

"Hmm!" Riven suddenly looked embarrassed, she was stuck.

Riven's front chest and rear buttocks were squeezed and deformed by the wall, and they were flattened, and she couldn't continue to bite the bullet and move forward.

"Mina! Wait for me! I'm stuck..."

"Ahhh!"

The scream of the little girl tearing her throat made Riven's pupils shrink.

"Mina!"

Riven didn't care whether it was narrow or not, she squeezed a few times, and when she found that she still couldn't move her body, she simply put the luggage on top of her head and slammed her fist against the wall.

Fortunately, these two houses are not wooden houses, but are made of stone, so Riven doesn't have to worry about hurting the trees.

With three or two punches, the stone bricks on her chest were dented, and her chest finally got the space to release and returned to its original shape.

"Okay, it works." Riven followed suit, smashing a hole in the back of her hip.

She shouted, "Mina! Are you all right! Talk back!"

"Rui...Rui...Sister Riven!" Mina's voice was crying, "I'm fine...but...but..."

"Come to my sister's side!"

"I... my legs are weak..."

"Then stay there and don't move! I'll be right over here!"

Until Riven's fist was oozing blood, she finally came to Mina.

The little girl sat on the ground with her back against the wall, her face pale.

The underside of her **** was wet and smelly.

"Mina! What's wrong?" Riven took Mina's hand and pulled her up.

Mina sobbed and pointed to the other end of the alley.

For a split second, Riven felt that her entire body had lost its warmth.

There is a body there.

Chapter 246 Summoning the Dragon

Luo stood at the gate of the guard mansion and looked around for a while: "It's strange... it's been so long since the appointed time, what about Riven?"

Luo felt a little uneasy in his heart. He wanted to go out to find Riven, but he had already promised the mayor that he would not leave the guard house.

"It should be alright... Riven is quite strong..." Luo decided to wait another hour, and before Riven showed up, she would go to her.

After a while, the mayor came back, accompanied by a few people in monastic robes who walked into the guard house. They should be the disciples of Master Jiu Lan. They brought various talismans, compasses, and sacrificed livestock. There were words, and prayers for the animals used for sacrifice.

"Is Master Jiulan going to summon a dragon?" Luo followed the mayor to the mansion.

Master Jiulan and her disciples went to bathe and change clothes one after another, saying that the body must be kept pure for sacrifice.

During this period, the mayor found Luo, and he looked gloomy: "The scouts have returned, you really did not lie, the army of the Navoli Brotherhood will arrive soon."

"Can you win?" Luo asked.

"There are too many people here, and the number of firearms is so large, it is difficult to rely on the guards in this town alone." The mayor sighed, "It was still during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I didn't want to turn the town into a battlefield. Fortunately, there are nine Master Lan is here, if Bi Xuchi is willing to help us, things will be much easier."

"Then can I leave? I want to find my... companion."

The mayor didn't answer, but he heard someone walking over.

It was a disciple of Master Jiu Lan, who seemed to be the first to finish bathing: "The sacrifice is ready. Master, she hopes that the mayor can arrange someone to protect the law, and the sacrifice must not be disturbed."

"It's natural, I'll arrange it right away." The mayor left immediately, leaving Luo on the spot.

"So can I go?" Luosuo scratched his head.

"This little friend, is the person guarding the mansion?" Master Jiu Lan's disciple asked.

"Me?" Luo pointed at himself unexpectedly, "I'm not."

"I see that little friend seems to be a mage, and I thought... by the way, can little friend be willing to come together to protect the master?"

"Ah? Need... do you need me?"

"Little friend is a mage, so it will naturally come in handy." Master Jiulan's disciple said righteously, "This is an extraordinary period, and it is always good to have more strength. The sacrifice is a big thing, and once there is a problem, the consequences will be unimaginable. ."

Luo hesitated, he really wanted to find Riven.

"This is also what Master said." Master Jiulan's disciple said, "With the help of a mage, even if there is something wrong with the sacrifice, there is still a chance to remedy it."

After thinking about it, if she helped Master Jiulan protect Suli Town, Riven would be happy too.

"Okay... I'm going to help protect the law."

"Grateful."

After Master Jiu Lan's disciples left, Luo waited for a while and saw that all the guards were walking towards the front yard, and he followed.

Master Jiu Lan held a knife, bowed deeply in front of a live pig, recited a prayer, and then stabbed the knife into its neck.

The live pig died very peacefully, neither resisting nor fleeing, not even screaming, and faced his own death calmly.

A disciple caught the pig's blood with a pot, while Master Jiuyue used a soft brush to dab the blood as ink, and drew a formation on the ground in the front yard.

"All the guards who are still in the house, come here to protect Master Jiulan!" The mayor ordered, and soon, the entire front yard was surrounded by guards on three floors and three floors.

Master Jiu Lan completely ignored external affairs and devoted herself to setting up the altar. She completed all the steps by herself, and the disciples only played the role of helping hands.

Luo couldn't understand what Master Jiu Lan was arranging. It was an extremely sophisticated and complex magic, beyond Luo's comprehension.

His attention was basically on the animals that peacefully greeted their deaths.

"What are they thinking?" Luo thought.

Soon, all the living sacrifices were completed, and the altar of Master Jiuyue was also completed.

"Lord Mayor." Master Jiuyue looked a little haggard, as if setting up the altar had consumed a lot of her energy, "It's ready, please keep these soldiers away, the appearance of Bibeuchi may affect her. to them."

"Okay." The mayor ordered all the guards to retreat.

The disciples of Master Jiu Lan also walked out of the circle one by one, and they stood with the mayor and Luo.

"During the period of the old practice, no one is allowed to enter the magic circle, otherwise it will definitely fail!" Master Jiu Lan reminded.

"Understood! Everyone, block the road for me!" The mayor immediately ordered the guards to stand by.

Although the army of the Brotherhood has not yet arrived, who knows if they have sent spies to the town, which is related to the fate of Suli Town. The mayor is very cautious.

Jiu Lan took a deep breath, raised a strange-looking sword and began to dance: "In the name of the Temple of Eternal Life! Fool Jiulan! Pray for Karma's wisdom!"

Luo felt that the magical atmosphere in the formation suddenly changed and became much more intense, like a pot of cold water boiling instantly.

Luo was very curious, and Xia always said that Vastaya was the orthodox user of magic, but she had never mentioned such complicated magic in her mouth, and it took a long time to prepare.

Luo wanted to take a closer look, but he couldn't walk into the formation, so he could only go around to the other side to find a better angle.

"The land of new birth! Thousands of earth spirits!" Master Jiulan shouted, "There is a way for harmony! No way is for slaughter!"

Luo still didn't understand how this magic works, and couldn't catch a single clue: "Forget it, anyway, there should be no chance to come into contact with this kind of magic again, I don't know how long it will take, I really want to find it. Rui Wen."

"Irregular people! Mutilate the earth! Spirit beasts appear! Protect the land and peace!" Master Jiu Lan thrust his sword straight into the sky, speaking in obscure ancient Ionian language, "Son of the dragon! Chi beard! Lasi! "egong! "

The color of the sky changed instantly.

I don't know where a huge dark cloud floated, completely obscuring the sky above the guard house.

Luo looked at the sky, the drizzle fell on his face, and a huge snake-shaped figure loomed in the dark clouds.

"This is... the dragon..." Luo felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression, and the unimaginable magical power was even changing the weather.

A flash of lightning fell without warning, temporarily taking Luo's sight away by surprise.

The lightning disappeared, and Luo's vision returned to a clear sky.

But when his vision returned, he caught a strange sight out of the corner of his eye.

He turned his eyes away.

It's the mayor.

The head of the mayor, dragged and sprayed with blood, danced in the air.

- Mysterious Man 3

Chapter two hundred and forty seventh shock

Riven pressed her chest, trying to restore her beating heart.

But it was in vain, the trembling in her body did not ease.

She covered Mina's eyes, preventing the little girl from continuing to see such a scene.

"Riven...Sister Riven..." Mina's voice kept shaking like a frightened little beast.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my sister is here." Riven didn't dislike the filth under Mina's body, she took her into her arms, and then looked at the corpse on the other side of the alley.

Riven had never seen such a death.

She had seen many tragic and horrific deaths, enough to imprint an indelible nightmare in a person's life.

But she had never seen... such a death.

It was the corpse of a man, without clothing, with countless flat wounds, as if it had been cut by an extremely sharp blade.

The weird thing is. All wounds are connected with no faults in between.

"It only took one knife...to cut such a complex wound?" Riven couldn't believe it.

The wounds on the corpse are arranged and combined into a wonderful pattern, like a relief carved on the body. The person who started the operation was very delicate, only incising the skin, but not hurting the internal organs. Riven could even see that some internal organs were still shaking slightly, indicating that this person died not long ago, and it is very likely that he just died. Flies and mosquitoes have not been recruited yet.

weird.

A strange feeling reverberated in Riven's heart.

The murderer seems not to kill, but to carefully carve a life into a work of art.

Riven hurriedly put the thought behind him: "How could such a thing possibly exist..."

"Sister... I want to leave... to take a bath..." Mina, who was covering his eyes, calmed down a bit.
