Volume 1 Chapter 18 Danger Comes

Black mycelium, broken rubble, and its own blood. The dilapidated house made of stones seemed to be relieved at this moment, and collapsed at the same time as Hilton collided, and Hilton only felt that the spine in his back seemed to be broken by a huge impact, and many joints on his body were lost at the same moment, and the severe pain repeatedly made people almost unconscious. Hilton wanted to let out a heart-rending scream, but found that his throat couldn't make a sound at all as if it had been stuck in the impact, what happened? Have you been attacked? For a moment, Hilton couldn't react to the blow he had received. Qiang gritted his teeth and opened his eyes that were covered with blood, and because of the congestion of his eyes, the whole world seemed to be covered with a blood-colored veil, and he could only vaguely see the thing expanding its body, and countless mycelium gathered towards the center to form a humanoid appearance. Cesare...... Cesare !! The thing roared loudly, barely audible to the rhythm of a human, but rather a furious cry of some beastly nature. With a thunderclap that pierced the sky above the Karl Stream, the monster whose body was still infinitely expanding suddenly leaned down and dived into the ground as if it had melted in an instant, leaving only a strange pool of black blood. And at the last moment of Hilton's consciousness, he only saw the crumbling stone bricks hanging overhead fall under the wind and rain, fall from a high place in front of his eyes, and then everything returned to darkness. Only the sound of the wind and the rain proves that the world is still running. The area connecting the main city to the south of the city is a relatively inhospitable area, and efforts are being made on both sides to develop the right track, but this will still take many years. On a sparsely populated dirt road, a carriage full of mechanical parts was moving carefully, and Cesare was humming a song on her side, while Sandino fell asleep on the back of her seat on the back of her seat, and the rain poured into his mouth, but it still couldn't wake up his tired heart from getting up early to go to the market. The exterior of the carriage is iron gray, and the whole is designed with many iron rings and spikes to connect the body to the horses, which looks very strong, and the large and small scratches on the board also confirm that this transport-style carriage has survived many years of ups and downs, but it is still working firmly on the road to this day. The horse pulling the cart was a fat and strong Shire horse, the light brown fur was soft and delicate and reflected softly under the rain, this horse came from the northwestern island, the height was generally close to two meters, the weight was even more than a ton, the calves of the limbs were thick with a layer of fine hair, like a boot for the hooves, this horse alone could pull the carriage full of metal. In order to get the horse, it is said that Henry, the owner of the grocery store, spent a large sum of money at the auction of Karl Stream, and he called the horse "Dog". Driving a horse-drawn carriage was a peculiar experience, and Cesare, though much more precocious, was by no means a genius at driving, and his ability to avoid pedestrians and vehicles on the road was already his limit. Holding the leather rope in his hand is inevitably a little nervous, if he is the only one in the car, it is fine, but his sister sitting next to him must not have any accidents, Cesare eyes are firmly fixed on the road, but also carefully feel the transmission of the horse's strength, pay attention to the message conveyed by every muscle on the horse's body. The wind and rain stirred Cesare's hair, the boy's shirt turned up, the horse's hooves intertwined with the song humming softly by Closia beside him, and before he knew it, the rain carried away the tiredness and made people feel more relaxed than ever. As the carriage drove out of the city of Piero, the unpaved dirt road was not as regular as the stone pavement, but it was larger overall. On both sides of the road, there are all kinds of weeds, some of which grow as tall as half a man due to the long period of neglect. In the rain, there are many puddles on the uneven dirt road, large and small, and when the wheels run over it, there is a splash, and when you pass through the mud, you can smell the rich smell of the wet earth. "Closia?" Feeling his surroundings, Cesare only felt familiar and friendly, and almost subconsciously called out his sister's name. The girl beside her looked up, more raindrops falling on Closia's white and immature face, and she stopped humming softly with a sweet smile on her face. "What's wrong, do you remember anything interesting?" Klosia asked with some curiosity. "It's nothing, but I suddenly remembered that there was a dirt road like this in front of our two children's homes, and it felt familiar." Cesare replied, but in fact he was not sure of the feeling, and his distant memories were as difficult to recover as shattered dreams, and he could only vaguely remember that on the same rainy day, on the same muddy road, he had sat in a carriage and leaned on the people closest to him...... "In front of the house?" Closia stood on tiptoe and looked around with the handlebars in front of her, but all she saw was the plain road and the woods on both sides, the dirt roads looked the same, and when she looked at Cesare's face again in confusion, Cesare recalled again, "It was our original home, the house in the Emerald countryside, and I can't remember much seriously... However, I still dream of this house in my dreams, and I dream of our family being together......" Cesare's trance-like expression seemed to make Closia understand something. "Oh... I think I know..."Closia sat back in her place in dismay, and said with mixed emotions in her voice, "Mother was still alive then, right......" The fact that her mother is alive means that Closia has just been born and naturally does not remember anything.Cesare nodded silently, his eyes confirming Sandino, who was sleeping soundly, and then asked Closia in a low voice, "Closia... Although you were too young when it happened, but... I'm curious if you remember what your mother looked like, even the slightest impression. Cesare also looked a little nervous after saying this, as if the question was important to him and had been held in his mind for a long, long time. "No......" Closia shook her head, her eyes no longer looking in Cesare's direction. I don't remember anything...... All I know is that I only have one relative, and that's it. The children's hair was soaked with more and more rain, and the conversation ended there. The carriage drove slowly towards the road, and another carriage with antique furniture and ornate furnishings slowly emerged from the ground level, and Cesare staggered along, its wheels babbling heavily on the ground, and the black horses in shackles dragged the cart lifelessly forward. It was only for a moment that Cesare noticed the vehicle next to him, the driver of the carriage was wearing a rudimentary leather cloak and hanging his head, and the silence was strange, and what was even more puzzling to Cesare was that the coachman seemed to hide his hands under the cloak rather than holding the reins. Cesare's carriage seemed to run over a rock, causing the body to sway from side to side, causing Cesare to pay attention to the road again, and no longer care about passers-by. After a while, only a slight tremor at first, Cesare noticed something coming from afar, but he didn't pay much attention to it. However, immediately afterward, the tremor became more and more intense, and frequent chaotic noises kept coming from the distance directly ahead, like some behemoth running in the distance. Closia also heard the disturbing voice, subconsciously tugged at Cesare's sleeve, and looked at her brother with some concern, and Cesare couldn't help frowning, an ominous premonition was quietly rising in her heart. The puddles of the road rippled, the stones on the dirt trembled in the tremors, the earth rose and fell markedly, causing the carriage to jolt with it, the horses neighing uneasily, and Cesare cheating tightly on the reins to prevent any unexpected surprise. Under the strong shock, Sandino suddenly woke up from his dream and shouted: "I can't drink it!" I can't drink it anymore! Then he swallowed the rain that had accumulated in his mouth, and coughed a few more times. "Ah...... Yes...... Good morning, what's going on? Sandino wiped the rain from his face, squinted and saw that the ground was shaking, so he reached out and patted his cheeks to keep himself awake, and then immediately realized that the whole ground was really shaking violently. Earth, there was an earthquake!? Cesare! It's all earthquakes, why don't you wake me up! "Seeing that you are sleeping so soundly, how can you bear it, and what's the use of waking you up." Cesare replied unceremoniously. "What are these words! If something happens, I'll be able to run for my life in time! Sandino asked, a little panicked. Well, Cesare, we're not going to be fine, are we? You shouldn't have to run for your life, right? "If it's just an earthquake, it won't be anything, but it's not an earthquake......" "Not an earthquake? So, what else could be such a big movement? Sandino asked, puzzled. Cesare's eyes were fixed on the front, and when he was sure that the voice was coming towards them, he tightened his grip on the reins, let the carriage come to a slow stop, and whispered in response to Sandino's question: "It's the Praetorian Guard." As Cesare had expected, the distant noise became clearer as it approached, the sound of horses hoofing and heavy footsteps. Within a moment of speaking, a majestic momentum came from the distance of the horizon, and in the faint mist, a sizable army came into view, and the knight in the forefront, wearing plate armor, wearing a hat and helmet, holding a steel sword, and a cross on his chest. Then, the shining shield armor in the team was slowly visible, and the soldiers in heavy armor walked calmly and powerfully, and the footsteps shook the sky like thunder, and an unstoppable sense of power emanated from the team. They fluttered in the air with flags covered with crosses, a sign of holiness that symbolized the army's devotion to the faith and its unwavering determination to crush the enemy. "Why is the army here?" Frightened by the sudden battle, Sandino leaned over to make sure he was not mistaken. "Isn't there going to be a war? And with whom? I've heard of a few dukes fighting each other, but... But it didn't turn out like this, did it? Cesare did not answer this question, and he did not have a definite answer in his heart, seeing that there was still a long distance from the frontal contact of the army, and at this time Cesare was only thinking of turning the direction of the carriage to avoid blocking the way of these soldiers, and he was already uneasy, but at this moment he was disturbed by the sound of bells banging on the board of the carriage. "Sandino-san, I know you're nervous, but please don't stomp your feet anymore, okay?" Cesare said coldly. However, in the face of the accusations, Sandino expressed surprise and puzzlement: "What? I'm not stomping, I thought it was you knocking? When the two of them looked at Closia, Closia, who was sandwiched in the middle, looked even more uncertain, so the three of them could only look at the place where the soles of their feet were making sounds at the same time. The soles of the feet did still make a strange noise, it sounded like the muffled sound of someone hitting the board with their fingerbones, but it wasn't there...... And at the bottom of the car.
