Chapter 1676: Crazy Words
"How can you really not get out?"
The sheriff sneered: "After you go to the east city entrance, go find the captain there."
"Give enough money, check again, you can definitely get out!"
The sheriff said confidently.
But he didn't know.
If it was just the plague encountered before or some ordinary version of the evil god invasion.
There is no shortage of people in the big figures of the Nine Saints City who are willing to make this money.
But this time is different.
Although the person in charge of the city gate is the direct family of one of the Nine Saints.
It is also very clear about the seriousness of the matter.
So they made a difficult decision: they still have to make this money!
People, they also have to leave the city as agreed, after all, they are still very honest.
The promises they made will definitely be fulfilled!
But when they leave the city, they will be surrounded immediately, and then transferred to a villa about 50 kilometers away from the Nine Saints City for guarding.
Therefore, if there is the source of the evil god incident or hidden infected people here, their family will not be besieged and criticized by other families.
However, the person who came up with this idea was also having a headache at this time.
With the strange changes in the Nine Saints City today.
The small families and small merchants in the city also keenly sensed that something was wrong. Even if they were not as extreme as the sheriff, they would choose to send some of their children and valuables out.
This is also their way of inheritance.
The result is that the people above found that their villa... could not accommodate so many people!
"The family's reputation cannot be ruined."
"Alas, this money is not easy to make!"
"Forget it, give the order, and those who have not left the city are not allowed to leave the city!"
"Return all the money you collected!"
"If I know who got his hands wet in there, I will personally extract his soul to give my strange things as dessert!"
As soon as this order came out.
The people who were a step late turned pale.
Some small families even quickly held a family meeting to discuss how to survive the family bloodline.
In the Nine Saints City, these small families knew very well that if even the most trustworthy and the most willing to take money to do things were unwilling to take money, what would it mean?
Nine Saints City, a catastrophe is coming!
Not long after the afternoon, the sky almost darkened, darker than the evening before.
Some wealthy areas suddenly lit up lights.
The dream-driving lights were also lit in advance on the floating airships in the sky.
In the vegetable market, several old women left the market with empty baskets, cursing.
They were all from civilian families in the nearby area, and they were used to buying vegetables in the afternoon, so that they could get cheaper.
Unexpectedly, the number of people setting up stalls in the market today was not only half less than before, but the price of vegetables was several times more expensive.
Especially meat, which increased tenfold, so that some civilians who finally mustered up the courage to buy meat had to bow their heads and leave in disgrace just by looking at the price tag.
That is, the prices of the most basic food: flatbread and hard bread are still stable.
There is no need to worry that the lower-class residents will starve to death because they don’t have enough money to buy food.
…………
Matthew curled up and hid in the corner of the dormitory.
After being checked and confirmed to be healthy and mentally normal, Matthew was arranged to live in a new place.
This place is better than the original big bunk bed. Although each room has nearly 50 people living in it, at least the thatch of the bed is quite thick, and it is very warm after covering it with a quilt.
The food... is also quite good, of course, not as good as in the dream.
"Nothing to do, can I dream now?"
Matthew blinked, but noticed that the companions who were arranged to come in, although they were all listless, were unwilling to sleep, as if they were afraid of dreaming.
It seems that every time they are awakened by a nightmare, their mental state will be extremely unstable and they may go crazy at any time.
And once they go crazy... they really can't come back.
Bang!
A soldier walked in and lit the dream-repelling lamp.
The lamps here are larger than before, and the flames are brighter.
Seeing the flames light up, they couldn't help but show a relieved expression.
Matthew became irritable.
Where there are dream-repelling lamps... he can't have a sweet dream!
At night, turn off the lights again?
Matthew's heart moved, but he quickly rejected it.
There is a very powerful wizard here, and his little tricks... I'm afraid he can't hide them!
Thinking hard like this, the night gradually came.
The sky above the Nine Saints City became colder and colder.
This chill was even felt by the wizards.
A first-level wizard in a floating airship had to cast a spell on himself every ten minutes to prevent his body from freezing.
But he couldn't protect those ordinary crew members or even some extraordinary knights.
When the time reached late at night.
The flame of the dream-driving lamp of a floating airship suddenly went out.
The frozen crew members gathered together to keep warm, and no one except the wizard was able to move.
The wizard saw that the light he was responsible for was extinguished, and he was shocked. He gritted his teeth and opened the hatch and flew out.
As soon as he got out of the hatch and flew to the mouth of the huge hanging lamp, the wizard felt a chill in his body because of the cold.
At the same time, an extremely strong feeling of sleepiness swept over him.
He couldn't help but yawn.
"What's going on? This feeling of sleepiness..."
"No...not good!"
The wizard was frightened for a moment and was about to cast a warning spell.
The hand holding the staff was released at this moment.
His body softened and he leaned against the lamp and fell asleep immediately.
It's not just him.
That night, as long as the first-level wizards went out, they were invaded and attacked by the power of nightmare as if they were targeted.
Some wizards even fell asleep while refining potions, causing various accidents in the alchemy laboratory.
"The infection intensity of the power of nightmare has increased again!"
"Why are first-level wizards affected?"
Maybe they just met the conditions to be attacked? "
"As a first-level wizard, my intuition and talent are sufficient, but my soul strength and mental power are low."
"But the problem now is that there are a total of 2,120 first-level wizards who have fallen into coma."
"They are all trapped in a nightmare, but... they can't wake up like ordinary people!"
"Can't wake up?"
"Yes, we tried our best, but we couldn't wake them up."
"Perhaps we need to use the art of dreaming?"
"You want to die and no one can stop you. You use the dream-entering technique on a top evil god who masters nightmares...do you think you can't die fast enough?"
"What should we do?"
"Let the adults of Miracle City come and take a look."
The City of Nine Saints has encountered a new crisis.
But they were helpless.
We can only place our hope on Princess Alice, who has just arrived in the City of Nine Saints and is investigating.
After Princess Alice learned about this, she also had a serious expression on her face and actually followed the arrangement out of curiosity.
Soon, Princess Alice and Xiao Yu, who saw the scene in front of them through Alice's perspective, could see:
In a large, empty conference room.
On the thick carpet, thousands of wizards with terrifying and strange expressions were lying there in a huddle, and from time to time they made incomprehensible murmurs.
