Chapter 173 Are You Intubated?
The sun was setting, and the almost orange sunlight filled the sky. At this time, several four-wheel carriages filled with passengers swayed and stopped at the trading station.
There are walls made of logs here, and the guards on the watchtower rotate day and night. Coming here means safety, food and a good sleep.
"Pei Renli, come and give me a hand."
"Were you intubated from behind? You had to have someone help you get out of the car."
"What is intubation? It sounds a bit scary..."
Especially when Moen paid attention to the details of how to insert it, where to insert it, and how thick the tube was, it was really a bit heart-warming.
In fact, Moen's arm was injured, and it did not affect the car at all. He was just being pretentious. But in order to make his ears clearer, Perrenli went over to give him a hand.
"It feels so bad being held by a man."
"...You don't want to know how I feel."
Suddenly I felt a little nauseous.
The Garden Fair, held every three years, is the most important festival for the river countries. People from all over the world come here to buy goods, travel, relax and find happiness.
They think it's good, and they plan to continue holding the garden party, which was originally just for resolving conflicts, and turn it into a culture.
Then the kings of the river kingdoms were mercilessly slapped in the face by reality.
The appearance of the devil is tantamount to a direct attack on the organizer. Pei Renli can imagine what kind of dark clouds are gathering in the palaces of various countries.
When Brevo's frontier troops first received the news, they actually didn't pay too much attention to it. Since the garden party has been held, all the details have been studied thoroughly, and there will be no mistakes. Moreover, the venue of the garden party is
Although it is on the border of Brevo, the people responsible for security are actually elite soldiers sent by the river countries. What's more, if you dare to cause trouble here, you are riding on the heads of all the kings of the river countries, and they will be killed in minutes.
Know who the real owner of this land is.
They felt that there were only a dozen or so so-called demons, or at most dozens of low-level demons, which were probably not enough to be beaten by the party's security. As for the guy who claimed to be the Demon King, they didn't care at all.
Since the tyrannical Demon King disappeared, all ghosts have dared to call themselves Demon Kings. Some are out of their own minds, and some are with the support of the Demon King's Revival Association, but no matter what kind, basically all of them have been eliminated.
Because it's so frequent, you can hear someone claiming to be the devil from time to time. It's really not new, and it feels like it's just another after-dinner conversation.
However, in view of the importance of the garden party, the border troops still paid attention to it after asking for instructions from above, and sent a patrol team to check out the situation.
Then everyone was dumbfounded.
Flames, thick smoke, and the remains of the deceased filled the garden party venue. The tragic scene did not look like a simple attack, but more like a city being massacred.
The on-site commander immediately ordered the messenger to go back and ask for support. He led his people into the party site to search for survivors and asked what happened.
Human beings are indeed incredible creatures. If you search carefully, there will still be many survivors.
The border troops who came to assist found many survivors under the collapsed tents, in crates, and even in water tanks. Their garbled stories made the on-site commander numb.
Anyway, it is not up to him as a petty official to decide how to react to this matter, so he should continue to deal with the aftermath.
There are a lot of survivors, but there are also a lot of deaths. Even if the garden party will register before entering, it will still take a lot of time to identify the deceased one by one.
As for material losses...
I can only say that I feel sorry for the civilian staff doing the inventory work on site for a second.
The culprit demon has hardly been found, let alone the guy who calls himself the Demon King.
It is said that many demons seem to have received a signal and leave in small groups through the mountain road. The specific places where they go need to be carefully investigated.
This thing hit the on-site commander on the forehead, no wonder he felt numb.
The most terrible thing is the subsequent impact of this incident.
For twenty years, there was no war between the river kingdoms. After a long period of peace, they were suddenly jumped in the face by a demon, and were very confused for a moment.
After a brief period of confusion, he became furious.
All armies from all countries have been mobilized, and many places have directly declared a state of war, implementing light blackouts and traffic controls. All active people are eagerly searching for any traces of the existence of demons.
This was no longer breaking news, it was simply nuclear bomb level. In a very short period of time, the news flew beyond the borders of the river countries and spread to every corner of the world.
Even countries that had nothing to do with it were shocked when they received the news. They sent a large number of spies to the river countries to collect information. Temples, organizations and individuals who were already sworn enemies of the devil were like wild dogs that had escaped the reins.
Rush into the river kingdoms and fight for your life to eradicate the alien creatures and the culprits that threaten the mortal world.
At the same time, many people are also thinking about how to use this incident to benefit themselves, fishing in troubled waters without any psychological burden.
It can be said that within two hours of the demon's attack, the entire mortal world was thrown into turmoil, and the peace that had lasted for twenty years no longer existed.
However, no matter how serious the impact of this incident is, it has nothing to do with Pei Renli for the time being.
He left the scene as soon as possible after taking down the corpse witch, and soon afterward he joined the border troops who came to support him, and asked the troops to go to the underground passage to pick out all the people hiding inside.
Then they would inquire about the situation, register and confirm the survivors and dead, and then they could leave. Only then could they arrive at the trading post before sunset.
Of course, Pei Renli did not tell the truth about himself, and he did not hand over the information or evil emblem he saw while peeping to the army.
After all, the guy who calls himself the Demon King wears a suit of armor unique to the Brevot area. Even if we cannot be sure that he is from the Brevot area based on this alone, there is no guarantee that he has a certain power and status in Brevot, and he may even be involved in the rescue.
Among the soldiers. So to be on the safe side, it would be safer to wait until the school comes forward to send the information out after returning.
What is even more incredible is that in such a serious and dangerous situation, all the students who came to the garden party to play together were not missing.
Most of them were in the underground passage, but a few were similar to Kaya and the others, hiding until they saw reinforcements arriving.
But just because there were many people, it doesn't mean there were no injuries.
Looking at the people on the bus now, almost all of them are wrapped in bandages. Some seriously injured people have to be carried on stretchers before they can move. Even Pei Renli has his head wrapped around it several times. It may be that he was injured by gravel during the previous battle with the corpse witch.
I hit my head and got a scratch on the back of my head, but the adrenaline hit my head and I didn't feel any pain at all.
The medical services provided by the priest are indeed good, but they are not omnipotent. After all, magic power is limited, and even Michelle, who is the best at treatment, has a lack of experience. For some difficult injuries, it is best to wait until she returns and ask the school doctor to take action.
More appropriate.
The troops who came to support did bring military doctors and medical supplies, but due to underestimation of the situation on the scene, the better priest was still halfway there, and everyone who had narrowly escaped death felt that it was dangerous to stay here, so they all got in the car.
I don't want to stay either.
So you will be happy when you see this group of people coming to the trading post, and everyone will be happy when you go back.
The only one who still remains cheerful is Miss Cistia.
I don’t know if she is born stupid and bold or if she is a little expert in seeking death. Even though she was kidnapped and tortured and beaten severely, she did not feel scared at all when the devil attacked her. She may even find it quite exciting.
Some of the ladies above said that if I treat you today, you should treat it as a celebration of escaping from death. Let’s eat, drink, and be happy!
Then basically no one took any notice...
Many people stretched and grinned because of the pain of their wounds. They were not in any revelry mood. Everyone ate the meals provided by the Trading Post Hotel in silence, accompanied by the occasional sound of air-conditioning.
The trading post should also have received the news. Through the window, you can see that there are many more patrolling guards than when you came before. Some travelers who did not go to the garden party gathered together and talked quietly, and the atmosphere seemed extremely tense.
Pei Renli also felt very unhappy.
One of the reasons for his dissatisfaction was that he found that his very precious magic storage ring was cracked.
The crystal embedded in the magic storage ring is essentially the same thing as the magic crystal. The only difference is that one is a rechargeable battery that can be used repeatedly, and the other is a disposable battery.
But everyone knows that although rechargeable batteries are more cost-effective in the long run, they are also more expensive to purchase.
Although he tested it on the carriage and it should still work, the appearance of a crack will inevitably affect the overall effect.
How many bottles of potions would have to be sold to make back the loss of an expensive magic item...
Another reason, and the most unpleasant part, is that after killing the Corpse Witch, no equipment exploded.
Pei Renli saw with his own eyes that the Corpse Witch was transformed from a bone ring. At first, he even thought that the grandson was a summoned creature. If he could get the bone ring, he would have an extra mage bodyguard on call.
It turned out not to be the case at all.
After the Corpse Witch died, only a little dust was left behind. Pei Renli, unwilling to give up, wandered around the area, convinced that his fight this time was in vain...
People's emotions need to be vented, and if they feel unhappy, Pei Renli, as a music person, has to find a way to change his unhappiness.
So he wiped his mouth and walked to Moen carrying his backpack.
When the latter saw this, he did not realize that the crisis was coming, and asked happily:
"What's wrong? Did someone ask you to send me a love letter?"
"I'll keep you guessing."
"Is it really true?"
After taking the envelope Pei Renli took out from his backpack, Moen seemed to have smelled the perfume on the letter paper.
"Who gave it to me?"
"You'll find out later."
“…..?”
Moen and Perenli walked up to Gary, Louisa and Camilla one after another, leaving behind a lot of question marks. In front of everyone, even unrelated tourists, they delivered the love letters one by one and told them who wrote them.
Then he clapped his hands:
"Okay, I've taken care of the matter. You can figure out how to deal with it yourself."
The four of them looked at each other across the table, looking at each other. For a moment, the hotel lobby was silent, and everyone was waiting to see how they would deal with it. The awkward atmosphere made people want to dig out three rooms and one living room with their toes.
Pei Renli's mood immediately improved a lot when he saw it.
