Chapter 131

Led by Rowell, Locke came to a remote alley.

The two of them pushed open the broken wooden door and walked in.

To Locke’s surprise, there were two totally different worlds outside the door and inside the door. Outside the door was desolate, and the lights inside the door were flickering noisy.

The atmosphere of the bar was unusually good, without any depression. The smiling faces were in sharp contrast to the depression outside the city.

After taking Locke to sit down at the bar counter, Rowell looked at the bartender and said, “As usual.”

The bartender was a middle-aged man with a square face, big nose and clean-shaven face. Locke sensed a dark magic aura from the middle-aged man with a square face, so he was sure that the man in front of him should be a dark mage with a high cultivation base.

Upon hearing Rowell’s words, the man with a square face was expressionless. As if he hadn’t heard what he said, he concentrated on mixing the wine in his hand. Rowell wasn’t in a hurry. He pointed at Locke and said, “Give him another cup of bloody Mary.”

The middle-aged man with a square face was still unresponsive and concentrated on mixing the wine in his hand.

Looking at the rapturous crowd, Rowell put on a cozy smile, leaned back in his chair and said, “How’s it going? Is it a good place?”

Locke nodded in agreement and said in surprise, “I didn’t expect you to come to such a bar.”

Rowell chuckled and said, “I have hobbies quite similar to the young.”

At this time, a girl came up and talked to Rowell. Seeing the two talking happily, Locke finally confirmed that Rowell was indeed a regular visitor.

He also looked around the people in the bar. Some of them were men in military uniform, some had just changed shifts from the city wall, some women with heavy makeup, and some were mages in a mage robe.

Some young men who were about the same age as Locke looked around curiously. At this moment, everyone had forgotten the upcoming crisis.

Fortunately, there was no ban on underage drinking here. Otherwise, he and these young men would be driven out.

But on second thought, he found that there was no need for such a law. Perhaps because of the existence of extraordinary power, alcohol was insignificant in front of the extraordinary power.

In less than ten minutes, the middle-aged man with an acold face handed over two glasses of wine.

“A cold face all his life.” Looking at the middle-aged man with a cold face, Rowell cursed in his heart, but he still pushed the glass to Locke and said, “Have a try. This is the best cocktail of this bar!”

Locke took a sip. It tasted sweet and salty.

Rowell also took a sip of the wine.

Looking at Rowell, Locke asked curiously, “where is Mr. Hodgia?”

“He withdrew with some people of mage guild first.”

Rowelll replied.

Before the surge of beasts broke out, the magic guild had already transferred the talented young mages out. In fact, in addition to the magic guild, other forces had also transferred their core figures and descendants. Although they were reluctant to part with the industries in Dikas City, they were also afraid that something unexpected would happen and destroy their whole family or the mercenary group.

“Locke, you shouldn’t have come here this time.” Rowell said after taking a sip of wine.

Before Locke came to his senses, Rowell continued, “I have lived in Dikas City for forty years and experienced four big beast attacks. During these two beast attacks, I saw the city gate was broken by magical beasts, but I have never seen such a strange beast attack as this time.”

Locke listened quietly.

“Maybe, this time, the Dikas City will be destroyed.” Rowell said in a sad tone.

After a moment’s silence, he stared straight at Locke and said in a low voice, “Listen, Locke. I know you have hidden your real strength, but I’m afraid you can’t resist the crisis in Dikas City this time. I mean, if you can leave, you’d better leave as soon as possible.”

Although he had only seen Locke fight once, which was in the battle of the tiger mercenary team, with years of experience, he knew that he could feel that Locke was definitely not simple.

Rowell’s words warmed Locke’s heart. He knew that Rowell was persuading him to leave.

Taking a deep breath, Locke raised his glass and said, “Thank you.”

Rowell was a little surprised and looked at Locke. Seeing that Locke looked calm, he shook his head and smiled. Now that he had said that, he believed that Locke would have his own choice.

The two began to drink in the bar. There were naturally a lot of young girls coming to accost Locke who had a good temperament. Locke couldn’t stand the harassment. He quickly drank up the wine in his glass and left.

After saying goodbye to Rowell, he went back to his residence. He ignored Rowell’s suggestion. With his strength, it was absolutely not difficult for him to fight alone, but the problem was that Bryce and the others would be in danger.

He couldn’t leave his students behind. Although they could use the teleportation rune to leave the city now, the teleportation rune could just work for a short time. With the outbreak of the surge of beasts, the surroundings were all magical beasts. It might not be safer to use the teleportation rune rashly than to stay in the city.

Moreover, given the current situation, it was hard to say who would be the final winner. The Dikas City may not be destroyed.

Or practice? As long as he entered the middle stage of the seventh sense, he would use enough strength to deal with level-5 magical beasts. By that time, even if it was level-6 magical beasts, he might be able to fight.

Thinking of this, Locke entered the practice mode.

After a night’s rest, Bryce and the others felt much better. It was the best day they had rested for so many days.

Under Judith’s arrangement, the students gathered in the square.

“I’m very happy. Everyone had a good rest last night.”

After glancing at everyone’s face, Judith said slowly, “Now, there is a piece of unfortunate news to tell everyone. This morning, the guards saw magical beasts outside the city.”

The students were confused. Wasn’t it normal to see magical beasts? Why did Judith look so serious?

“Not one magical beast, but thousands of magical beasts.”

Judith’s voice rang in everyone’s ears again.

Bang!

Hearing this, the students were in an uproar. The expression on their face changed from confusion to shock, and then from shock to fear. Thousands of magical beasts, what a horrible thing!

“Yes, there is a surge of beasts. We are surrounded by magical beasts!”

Judith’s voice interrupted the students’ discussion.

“There are two choices for us now. First, hide in your room and be a coward. When magical beasts break through the city, I will take you away from the city like stray dogs!”

“Second, go to the city wall over there and destroy magical beasts with the magic in your hands! Tell them that the human world is sacred and inviolable, and behind you, there are two hundred thousand people’s lives!”

After Judith finished her words, the crowd quieted down.

“Never retreat!” A few seconds later, someone shouted.

The students raised their fists and shouted with red faces.

“Bazel, young master, we…” A tall and thin student whispered to Flynn Bazel.

“You idiots!” Looking at the excited students, Flynn cursed. Shouldn’t we just use the transmission rune to leave now? Defending the city was the business of Dikas City. Why should they go up and fight desperately?

With a gloomy face, Flynn said to the two people beside him, “At that time, let’s stand back and let these idiots rush forward by themselves.”
