Looking at the increasingly intense purple light of the magic circle in front of him, Brutus felt an inexplicable feeling of powerlessness in his heart. He never thought that the disaster would come so quickly and catch people so unprepared.
I actually naively thought that it would be at least autumn before these people would take action, but reality never gave people the chance to go back to the past and start over.
Who is to blame for all this?
At this moment, many people's names appeared in Brutus' mind:
Is it Violet who is busy dealing with various incidents all day long? But she is obviously very busy.
Is it a guard camp that is busy all day long? They were still fighting in the fire last night.
Is it Robert who just stood by and didn't help? But he had no obligation to help deal with this incident.
.......
In the end, Brutus could only place all the blame on the officials of Tatto Town who did nothing and the careerists who paid the price with the lives of everyone in the town.
But it was useless to blame anyone at this time. Brutus sat on the ground helplessly, watching the magic circle continue to expand and expand until it covered the entire floor of the room.
Then there was a dazzling light that forced him to put his arms in front of his face to block it.
"It's too late and it's all over." Brutus thought.
After the light disappeared, it was as if nothing had happened in the room, but the pungent smell of blood, decay, body fragments on the ground, pieces of clothing, collapsed bookshelves and a skeleton leaning against a bookshelf were all...
silently telling their experiences.
Brutus let out a long breath, put his right hand on the blood stains to support himself and stood up.
No matter what direction things will take, you still have to face it after all. At least you have to know how you will die in the future, right...
The staff who were frightened just now seemed to be scared out of their wits and had long since disappeared. Brutus walked out of the database and walked in the empty corridor.
The hall of the city hall was empty. When he walked out of the city hall, he still found that the outside was also empty, as if everyone had disappeared without a trace in an instant.
But strictly speaking, it can't be said that there are no people. At least there is one walking towards us from a distance. Let's call it a person for the time being.
Brutus held the dagger and faced him. No matter who the opponent was, he had to meet him first and then die happily.
Different from what he imagined, the person walking towards him was more like a light projection. To say that he looked like a human being, he looked like a natural person. According to his evaluation, he could use modifiers of beauty such as white skin, fair skin, blond hair, blue eyes, etc.
It’s not an exaggeration to add them all.
The people on the opposite side seemed to be passing by. Although they looked like they were walking, they met in the blink of an eye.
"Who are you?" Brutus looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and asked first.
"Hello, Brutus." The woman's voice was like a yellow bird, very light and sweet, "I am Laxius, who is in charge of this forest."
"Sylvan Goddess?"
"People in this area usually call me this, so that's it."
"So he's not a god?" Brutus suddenly felt as if he had said something he shouldn't have said, but it was a done deal.
"Yes." Laxius smiled slightly, making Brutus slightly dazed, "There is not much time left, so we have to keep the story short, Brutus."
"Speaking."
"I can't help you much, so it mainly depends on yourself. In this incident, the people who can change the situation have already appeared on this stage. All you need to do is unite all the forces that can be united."
"Wait, me?" Brutus asked in disbelief, "But-"
"You are the holder of the Spear of Laxius. This is enough." Laxius stopped Brutus's question and explained in a gentle voice, "You have not lost everything."
"This disaster is only at the beginning. There is still a chance to save everything. But there is only one chance, Brutus, seize it." The goddess pointed in the direction of Brutus, and a leaf fell from his pocket.
The book floated out and fell into Brutus' outstretched hand, "When you think it's most appropriate, call me."
"There are a few things I still don't understand. Why do you want to help humans?" Brutus asked hurriedly when he saw that Laxius's body was gradually fading.
"Because it's also helping me."
Is it because of faith... Brutus thought to himself: "Then why am I here?"
"Destiny." After leaving this word, Laxius completely disappeared in front of Brutus.
He found that the scene around him was shattering, then his feet, and finally himself. Brutus suppressed the panic in his heart and waited for the end of it all.
After either a long or a short period of darkness, he opened his eyes again, and this time he returned to the empty corridor.
"Going back in time, or was what I just said just an illusion?" Brutus touched his pocket and took out a leaf. After distinguishing the lights in the corridor, he found that this was him outside the village of Laxius.
The one I picked up in the forest.
"Is this part of the plan? Destiny?"
Although he still can't figure out the context of the matter, the top priority now is not this. It seems that he really has to save the world...
Brutus returned to the hall again, where people gathered at the door and looked at the scene outside. He squeezed in and saw the dark clouds hanging over the entire town of Tatto outside the city hall.
"Who is Brutus?" A group of guards from the guard camp hurried to the door from outside the street and asked loudly, "Who is Brutus? Please come with us."
"I am Brutus." He said as he squeezed out of the crowd.
The captain of the guard squad looked at Brutus's face, and he nodded as he received the same information: "Villet Divination asked us to ask you to go to the guard camp immediately."
"I understand, let's go now."
The staff of the city hall were surprised to find that the person who was taking hostages just now was actually Violet's lackey, and they immediately suppressed the dissatisfaction that was about to burst out.
They don't want to be involved in some religious case for no reason...
"I divined that you appeared in the city hall. Tell me, what did you find?" Violet sat on a chair in the office with her feet on the table in front of her.
"You seem to be quite idle." Brutus complained casually, and then introduced his findings, "A skeleton that looks like a magician, body parts that look like Juno, and a magic circle that glows purple.
.”
"Then the situation outside has been explained. Obviously, the short break of only ten minutes is over." Violet choked back, "It seems that there is more to it, right?"
Brutus saw the heavy dark circles on Violet's face: "Does meeting Laxius count?"
"Then that unique wave of magic power is enough. Let's go and talk to Captain Will."
"And after that?"
"After?" Violet stood at the door and glanced at Brutus, "First execute all the prisoners involved, then execute the suspects, and finally deal with this mess."
