Of course, Essien heard the thunder and the collapse of the city walls.
This sound brought her back to her senses from her berserk state!
"Little girl, let's continue talking about work injury insurance. Damn it, I'm thirsty. Wait for me to drink some water!"
Exquisite used a resurrection spell to revive Deep Dream. Deep Dream continued to chat with Isin about insurance and housing. Deep Dream felt like he was the best insurance salesman among all the bandits.
But Essien was no longer in the mood to listen to Dreaming's nonsense. She had less than 20,000 HP left and was already seriously injured.
She broke free from the siege of the other members of the Blackwind Stockade and ran towards the broken city wall in the distance.
A large number of Holy Spirits had already surged inside the city wall. When Essien ran back to the town where she used to live, the place that Essien had made her home, the flames had already spread throughout the town.
Thick black smoke rose from the distant buildings, and Essien could hear the panicked cries of her compatriots everywhere in the town.
This made Essien clench the sword in her hand. A kind of anger and killing intent rose in her heart almost uncontrollably, as well as a deep sense of helplessness and pain.
Essien had seen too many similar scenes as a person infected with the crystal disease, but this time she had the ability to protect her compatriots, and she had to protect her compatriots.
She did not fight the Holy Spirits that had surged into the town, but instead ran quickly to the entrance of the second layer of the ruins.
This was because Deng Hisi was already guiding the civilians to the second layer of the ruins to take refuge, but the second layer was too small to accommodate all the civilians.
When Essien ran to the entrance of the second layer, there were dozens of civilians still waiting outside the second layer of the ruins.
Where was her tutor?
Essien crossed the civilians who stole the spell and began to look for her tutor. She walked into the second layer of the ruins, which was also the area that Deng Hisi had named the magic research area.
This area was already completely packed with people. More than two thousand civilians were squeezed into a small space … Essien found Dunsie in another building … the place where Dunsie's study was located.
"Tutor!
The Holy Spirits have broken in! "Essien said anxiously.
"I know."
Deng Hisi stood in front of a wooden table with a map of Brandt Island, as if thinking about something.
"Don't worry, they definitely won't be able to break through the protection of the second layer. As long as we're here, we'll be absolutely safe."
"But there are civilians on the third floor!" Essien pointed at the door and said, "Those cruel Holy Spirits will kill everyone!"
"Essien … my child, we can't save everyone."
"We have to be prepared to fight a war of attrition with those Holy Spirits. The supplies and space on the second level can't accommodate too many people," Deng Xi said to Essien in a heavy tone.
Couldn't he repel them?
Essien did not ask this question, because Dunces had made a decision that stunned her.
"Go to the Holy Spirits, Essien," said Dunheath.
"Join … those Holy Spirits?
Do you want me to be a spy among the Holy Spirits? "
Essien had just activated Blood Rage, and her intelligence was still recovering, but even if she only had an intelligence of 9, she could guess that Dunheath was planning to make her play the role of a spy.
"Spy, you're not suitable for this job, and becoming a companion of the Holy Spirits isn't that simple … It's not as simple as obeying them. The God of Eater will first turn you into her servant, your memories, your personality, your preferences, and even the content of our conversation right now, the God of Eater will know everything," said Dunheath.
"Then Tutor … if I'm captured by those Holy Spirits, isn't that the same as exposing all our secrets?"
Essien listened to Dunheath's description and felt her hair stand on end. There was nothing more terrifying than having everything about her known by a god.
This reminded her of the Deep Dream's painstaking bewitchment … It was even more terrifying than a devil's bewitchment.
"I hope you can do as I say, and don't ask why." Dunheath's round-rimmed glasses reflected Essien's somewhat hesitant expression.
"Will the Holy Spirits really accept my surrender?"
Essien asked this question, the Deep Dream's pretentious words echoing in her mind. She really regretted asking Deep Dream what the five risks and one gold were.
"Yes, the Holy Spirits' way of thinking is different from ours. They don't see you as an enemy, but as a potential recruitment target. You'll become a very important chess piece for the God of Eater."
Dunheath pondered for a moment, then said, "And if you're really recruited by the Holy Spirits, your life will be better than here."
"No!
Tutor … I don't believe those … thugs, demons … will treat us well. "
"Then are you willing to surrender to them?
For me. "Dunheath interrupted Essien's words.
"If this is your order, Tutor."
Essien gritted her teeth and made a decision. She didn't know what Dunheath was planning, but she believed that Dunheath was definitely doing it for a better future for her people.
Having made up her mind, Essien turned and walked out of Dunheath's study. She quickly ran out of the second floor and came to the third floor.
The area where the commoners lived was still ablaze … Looking at this scene, Essien found it hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
To rely on a group of people who burned down their own homes and took their own family members as slaves?
What a joke!
But she had to do it!
Essien gripped her longsword tightly as she walked on the burning street. She looked for the Holy Spirits, and soon saw a group of them appear at the end of the street.
At this moment, Essien almost drew her sword and slashed them, but she held back … Just as she was about to step forward and communicate with the Holy Spirits, one of them rushed straight into the burning building.
"There's an HP bar under this building!
There's someone under the ruins!
Does anyone have ice or water skills? "
"Our skills are too powerful. We'll blow up the building!
Just move it with your hands!
It doesn't hurt anyway! "
"That's right!"
Essien watched as the Holy Spirit grabbed the burning wooden board with both hands and flipped it over with all his might. After that, the Holy Spirit used both hands to dig out the stone debris on the ground and pulled out a little girl who was crushed under the wooden board.
"There's someone under the building here too!
I can't move this broken wall! "
"You can't even move a broken wall. What are you doing?"
"I'm a freaking Elementalist!"
"Get out of the way, pig head, I'll do the work!"
There were 3,200 residents in the town, and at least 50 people were crushed under these buildings. But these Holy Spirits seemed to know where people were, and directly rushed into the burning buildings to search for survivors.
Essien watched as a player with a weird pixelated head and snowman costume broke through a collapsed wall with one hand … There were two little boys under the wall.
Watch out!
While Essien was watching from the side, she found that the building suddenly collapsed, but the Holy Spirit grabbed the two unconscious boys at the critical moment and threw them out of the ruins of the building, but the Holy Spirit himself was buried underneath.
"Damn it!
Boss McCaffee is dead again! "
"He's not dead yet!
What are you shouting for!
Hurry up and save him! "
"You pigs want me dead so badly?" The pixel head popped out of the ruins like a carrot.
Essien watched and could not help but laugh … But soon she noticed that the main force of the Holy Spirits was coming towards this area, and Essien hid in the shadows again.
But as the Holy Spirits of the guild approached, she heard familiar shouts again.
"The Blackwind Stronghold is recruiting!
Our brothers buried in the ruins!
We pay three gold a day here!
Five insurance and one gold!
And housing!
There's a health bar under the building over there!
Second Master, hurry up and save them! "
"Coming!"
Essien listened to the shouts that rose and fell all over the burning town, and quickly jumped onto the well-preserved building, where she could see the whole town.
The Holy Spirits were still rampaging through the streets in a domineering manner, but this time, they weren't fighting the Law Stealers. Instead, they were fighting to put out the fire in the town and break into the burning buildings to rescue the residents trapped underneath.
What made Essien feel a little out of character was that even in this situation, the Holy Spirits were still fighting with each other.
