Blood sacrifice.

This word does not represent a good word at any time in any world, and it often means and is accompanied by disaster.

After hearing what Livia said, Kurti became a little uneasy.

Ravi Karman was subjected to a blood sacrifice and after learning the news, he became more and more uneasy.

After all, sacrificing the lives of an entire city is a big deal and it cannot be a small matter no matter how you look at it. He was not sure whether Nurti, who was so close, would be implicated and attacked by the cultists.

Kurti sighed and placed his hands on the city wall. The bricks made a sound under the heavy weight in his palms and cracks gradually appeared on the surface.

No matter what the outcome is, Nurti's situation will not be good.

After all, Nurti is a small town, and the nearest town is Ravikaman, which is less than a day's journey away. In the past, most of the supplies were transported through Ravikaman. Now, no matter whether the Kingdom and Songkani will resolve the issue of Ravikaman, there is no doubt that Ravikaman can no longer exist.

After all, as the black-haired young man under the city wall said, the entire city was sacrificed by the Blood Mist Sect, and after the sacrifice was completed and the Ravikaman incident was resolved, it would no longer be suitable for normal human habitation for a short period of time.

For Nurti, the situation would only get worse and worse. After all, the less than one day required for transportation had turned into about three days, and accidents were more likely to happen on the road.

"Can we go into the city first?"

Livia suddenly spoke, interrupting Kurti's thoughts on the city wall.

Going into the city?

Kurti frowned. He was worried about the extraordinary person under the city.

Although what he said did not seem to be false, no one could guarantee that his true identity was not a member of the cult. He might have said these words to gain trust or trick the city gate open.

Under the city wall, Livia looked at Lord Nurti's expression and realized that it was unlikely to enter the city. The lord still had great doubts about him. Of course, it cannot be said that he was too suspicious. After all, such a big thing happened in Ravikaman, which was not far away. It would be normal for him to close the city for more than half a month.

However, he did not have the patience to wait outside the city until the matter was settled. Not to mention how long it would take, he still had to reach the capital of the Kingdom of Sava within three months. The blood sacrifices performed by the cultists on Ravikaman's side alone made it impossible for him to wait outside the city.

Once the cultists over there planned to attack Nurti again, he would definitely become cannon fodder outside the city. It had to be said that the lord of Nurti had a good idea. Regardless of whether he was a cultist or not, he placed him outside the city wall and used him.

"It seems that we can't get into Nuerti. Are there any other villages or towns nearby?"

Livia lowered her head and asked Killian beside her.

Killian had been very silent since then, quietly listening to the conversation between him and Lord Kurti. When he heard him ask about himself, he was stunned for a moment.

"ah?"

"This Lord of Nurti intends to use us as cannon fodder outside the city. Do you want to stay outside the city and wait?"

Livia glanced at the top of the city wall and continued. He was already thinking about whether to go directly to the royal capital. After all, the lord of Nurti would not let them enter the city and was planning to use them as cannon fodder to resist the Blood Mist Sect. He naturally could not be foolish enough to wait outside the city as cannon fodder.

"The nearest villages and towns are Ravikaman and Songkani. Apart from Songkani, there is an earldom west of Nurti, which is only about seven days away."

Killian thought for a moment and whispered.

Livia could hear in his words that he didn't want to leave Nurti, and he also knew what Killian was thinking.

With a calm expression, he reached into the leather bag at his waist, and on second thought, he took out the last bottle of tawny owl potion from the system backpack.

"This is the Tawny Owl Potion. It's not very effective for me, but it's a bit too strong for ordinary people. Dilute it with water a dozen times and give it to your daughter. According to your description, it should at least be able to suppress and slow down the strange disease in your daughter."

As he explained its usage, he handed the tawny owl in his hand to Killian.

"This..." Killian was a little at a loss. He didn't expect Livia to give him the potion directly and let him use it.

Kurti on the city wall watched the two people whispering to each other below the wall, and then the black-haired man suddenly took out something from his waist and handed it to Nurti's famous merchant Killian. He subconsciously asked the guards beside and behind him to strengthen their vigilance and be ready to shoot arrows at any time.

Feeling that there were no less than twenty eyes on the city wall staring at him, Livia frowned and looked up at the city wall.

At some point the guards on the city wall had already set up their crossbows and were aiming at them.

"Is your Lord of Nurti so cruel?"

He spoke with some displeasure. If they were worried about him and suspected him, it would be fine to just block him from entering the city gate, but to blatantly send people to point crossbows at him to warn him was too much.

Killian was still thinking about how to take the potion from Livia and leave him to treat his daughter, when he suddenly heard his teasing words and subconsciously followed his gaze towards the city wall.

this?

Compared to Livia's calmness, Killian took a few steps back after seeing dozens of crossbows on the city wall aimed at him, his face pale.

He originally thought that Lord Kurti of Nurti would give him, a big merchant of Nurti, some face, and his previous words and actions were just to guard against Livia who was beside him.

After all, he gave the Kurti Lord 50,000 farongs every year, and there was no way he would do anything to him, but the scene before him directly overturned his idea.

Livia glanced at Killian, who looked pale and sweaty, and smiled playfully.

I was originally thinking about whether I could receive or complete various tasks from the merchant's daughter, but now it seems that I can forget about the tasks.

He restrained his expression and drove his horse back indifferently, out of the shooting range of the guards on the city wall.

Killian looked at the glittering crossbow arrows on the city wall, swallowed, and followed Rivia back to the caravan.

Because they had to talk to the people on the city wall, the noise just now was quite loud, and everyone in the caravan heard the conversation just now. Allison was okay, but his face was a little serious, but the other guards and coachmen had already started to panic. If it weren't for Allison maintaining order, they might have gone crazy.

But even so, the guards and coachmen had already started discussing what to do next.

After seeing Killian and Livia return to the caravan and it seemed that they could not enter Nuerti at all, a tall guard said in dissatisfaction: "What is going on?

Why won’t they let us enter the city? And what happened in Ravikaman before? The bloody clouds and bloody rain…” When he talked about what happened in Ravikaman, fear was clearly revealed on his face.

"If you hadn't guaranteed us good treatment and no danger, we wouldn't have joined your caravan that was just attacked by monsters. But now this is completely different from what you said. You must give us an explanation and whereabouts!"

"yes!"

"That's right, you have to give us an accurate answer on what to do next."

…

After the first person took the lead in expressing his dissatisfaction, the others quickly became furious. After all, they had only been recruited into the caravan a few days ago, and had originally joined for the promised high rewards. After seeing the strange things that happened along the way, they no longer wanted to follow the caravan.
