Chapter 263: Deserted Town

The princess's car, which was heading towards Mofan Town, suddenly closed its windows, and then a strange sound began to be heard from inside.

Even though the windows were closed, the maids who were walking halfway around the car could still hear some of the noise.

The maid blushed at the strange and fragmentary sounds.

"Princess, why did it start in the car?" She couldn't help but complain as she pricked up her ears to listen.

Others who were nearby also noticed the movement in the carriage to some extent. Most of them looked at them with contempt, while others covered their heads helplessly.

Fortunately, they were already familiar with the princess's style of doing things, so no one went over to spoil her fun, and the group pretended to know nothing.

The leader of the knights, with the intention of finding a place to rest as soon as possible to stop this ridiculous behavior, quickly organized the team and let everyone enter the city.

But the soldier who was exploring the way later ran over and said that the city gate was locked and no one answered.

The Knight Commander and those around him immediately felt unhappy. Although they had come here on their own initiative to propose marriage, they were not someone that a border town could despise.

"Knock down the city gates, then find the best houses and ask them to vacate them."

After several soldiers worked together to hit the city gate, there was a cracking sound.

When a few people pushed open the city gate, they found that the wooden stakes behind the gate had broken and fallen to the ground.

"Hmph, but the city gates were locked as soon as night fell. No wonder it is a poor border town." The soldiers looked at each other proudly, one of them ran back to report, and the rest were responsible for clearing the way ahead.

Only the guide who had lived in Mobei City for several years was somewhat confused.

"From what I remember, Mofan Town seemed quite lively. Why did they lock the gates so quickly? It's still so quiet here."

For some reason, the guide always felt a little uneasy. Even the summer night breeze became cool. He couldn't help but touch the chicken skin on his arms, wondering whether he should put on more clothes.

But soon this feeling of uneasiness spread from the guide alone to the entire team.

We walked on the quiet country road, and our arrogance at the beginning gradually turned into doubt.

They looked around, trying to catch a living person.

But we walked all the way to the center of the town and didn't see a single living person.

"Something's wrong. Go check the rooms on the roadside. Even if someone is asleep, pull them out!"

The Knight Commander finally couldn't hold back any longer and ordered the soldiers around him to go and question someone.

Although these soldiers were somewhat nervous due to the eerie silence in Mofan Town, as everyone acted together, their courage still surged from their chests.

They shouted, pushed, and violently knocked on the door of a house and broke in.

However, after the last soldier entered, the door of the room suddenly closed, startling the people standing on the street.

And as the door closed, the noise from the soldiers also disappeared.

After waiting for a long time, there was no sound from inside the house, and the soldiers did not come out.

Everyone, who had already been startled by the strange sound of the door closing, looked at each other and began to worry.

The Knight Commander pulled the guide beside him over and asked, "Are you sure this is Mofan Town?"

"It's here, absolutely. I even saw the name on the city gate." The guide knew that the atmosphere here was so strange, and if he took the wrong path, his life would be in danger.

Mayor Qi naturally also saw the name on the city wall, but he was extremely uneasy, so he couldn't help but confirm it again.

"I'll go ask the wizard."

There are two first-level apprentices in Mofan Town. If something happens to them, some strange things may indeed happen.

But the Knight Commander felt a little relieved when he thought about the third-level wizard apprentice in the team.

He pulled the reins and rode towards the low-key carriage at the end of the team, which no one dared to underestimate.

"Sir, there is something wrong with this town. Could you please come down and check it out?"

After saying this, the Knight Commander immediately dismounted, walked to the other party's carriage, and prepared to help the person off personally.

However, he waited for a long time and heard no movement in the carriage.

"Master Wizard?" The Knight Commander couldn't help but shouted again.

But still no one responded in the carriage.

Completely frightened by the silence, the Knight Commander no longer cared about offending the other party. He stepped onto the frame of the car and opened the door.

However, the carriage was empty.

“Huh…huh…”

The candles in the carriage were still burning steadily. A piece of parchment was spread out on the small table. The quill pen had fallen to the ground at some point, and a little black ink had splattered on the delicate lambskin carpet.

But there was no arrogant wizard apprentice.

The Knight Commander rushed out of the carriage at an even faster speed, grabbed the driver by the collar, and threw him to the ground.

"Where is the wizard?"

The driver was so frightened by the scene that he trembled with fear. He lay on the ground and didn't even have the strength to get up.

But in order to save his life, he could only answer tremblingly: "I don't know. Before entering the city, the adults asked me where this place was, but after entering the city, the adults never spoke again."

The Knight Commander asked the people around him if they had seen the wizard come out.

But everyone’s answer was no.

"Everyone! Turn around immediately and leave the city immediately." The Knight Commander awkwardly mounted his horse, squeezed the horse's belly hard, and quickly hurried to the princess's carriage.

"Your Highness, please sit tight. We need to get out of here quickly. Something is very wrong here."

The Knight Commander felt that he was so nervous that he was incoherent, but there was still a continuous stream of tiny noises coming from the princess' carriage, as if the two people inside had not yet had enough fun.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He couldn't bear it any longer, so he turned his head to the side and pushed open the flimsy car door.

“Ah—ah—”

The Knight Commander did not look into the carriage, but the maid beside him could not help but take a look, and this one look frightened her so much that she screamed.

The extremely sharp female voice seemed to pierce the Knight Commander's eardrums, causing his blood to surge. He could no longer care about anything else and turned his head to look inside the car.

"ah!"

Seeing the scene in the carriage, even the usually mature and steady Knight Commander couldn't help but exclaim.

He felt his legs trembling and could no longer bear the weight of the armor on his body.

With a bang, the Knight Commander fell to the ground.

The princess in the carriage did not disappear, or rather, she existed in a different form.

She was wearing a gorgeous and complicated court dress, but she was still leaning on the seat in an elegant posture.

But the person who was holding up this skirt has turned from a beautiful woman into a bunch of swollen blood bubbles.

When the door of the carriage opened, the maid and the knight commander screamed twice, startling the humanoid monster wrapped in a royal dress.

It slowly twisted its body, as if trying to turn its head around, but it had no facial features and no hair, so it was impossible to tell whether it was turning its face around or away.

When it started to move, the blood bubbles all over its body rubbed against each other, making a blushing, heart-pounding, crackling sound.

The numerous blood blisters on the head cracked open.

"save……"

However, the cry for help had not yet come out of his throat.

The countless blood bubbles that made up the human shape seemed to have reached their limit and burst one by one with "pop! pop! pop! pop!"

Blood-red liquid rushed out from the bubbles and gathered into a thin blood-red stream, first dyeing the supported skirt red, and then soaking the carpet in the carriage red.

When the carpet was saturated and could no longer absorb any liquid, these blood-red streams began to spread out in all directions.

A small amount of liquid dripped out through the gaps in the car body.

More red liquid poured toward the car door.

“Hua La La—”

At this moment, the Knight Commander seemed to hear the sound of waves.

"Run..." he said softly, as if afraid of disturbing the red water flow on the opposite side.

The Knight Commander forced himself to stand up, turned around and ran towards the door he came from.

He no longer cared about chivalry, the responsibilities on his shoulders, or the ordinary people in the team who were already terrified and at a loss.

He just wanted to escape.

More and more red water poured out of the carriage. The entire carriage could not bear the weight and broke into countless pieces with a loud crash. The pieces were swept around by the water.
