Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 263 The Deserted Town

Princess Carriage, which was heading towards Mofan Town, suddenly closed its windows, and then strange noises began to come from inside.

Even with the windows closed, the half-carriage of maids walking beside the carriage could still hear a little noise.

Amidst the strange, fragmented sounds, the maid blushed.

"Princess, really, why did you start in the carriage?" she complained as she listened intently.

Others nearby also noticed the commotion inside the carriage. Most looked on with disdain, while some helplessly covered their heads.

Fortunately, they were already familiar with the princess's ways, so no one went over to spoil the fun, and the group pretended not to know anything.

The knight commander, eager to find lodgings and stop this absurd behavior, quickly organized the group and led them into the city.

But the soldiers who went to scout ahead ran over and said that the city gates were locked and no one answered.

The knight commander and his men immediately felt displeased. Although they had come voluntarily for the marriage alliance, they were not a small, insignificant town that could be underestimated.

"Break down the city gates, then find the best houses and make them vacate."

The city gate cracked with a snapping sound after being rammed by several soldiers.

The group pushed open the city gate and found that the wooden stakes behind the gate had broken and fallen to the ground.

"Hmph, locking the city gates so early in the night, no wonder it's a poor, remote town." The soldiers exchanged smug glances, one of them ran back to report, while the rest led the way.

Only the guide, who had lived in Mobei City for several years, had some doubts.

"In my memory, Mofan Town used to be quite lively. How come the city gates were locked so quickly? And it's so quiet here."

For some reason, Director Xiang felt uneasy. Even the summer night breeze seemed to have become cool. He couldn't help but touch the goosebumps on his arms, wondering if he should put on another layer of clothing.

But this unease quickly spread from the guide to the entire team.

As they walked along the quiet country road, their initial arrogance gradually turned into surprise and uncertainty.

They looked around, trying to grab a living person.

But even after walking all the way to the town center, they didn't see a single living person.

"Something's not right. Go check the rooms by the roadside. Even if someone's asleep, drag them out!"

The knight commander finally couldn't hold back any longer and ordered the soldiers around him to find someone to question.

Although the soldiers were also somewhat nervous about the eerie silence in Mofan Town, their courage surged from their chests as they acted together.

Shouting and shoving, they used the most violent means to knock on the door of a house and break in.

However, after the last soldier entered, the door to the room suddenly slammed shut, startling the people standing on the street.

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

After waiting for a while, there was no sound from inside the house, nor did the soldiers come out.

The group, who had been startled by the strange sound of the door closing earlier, looked at each other in bewilderment and began to worry.

The knight commander pulled the guide beside him aside. "Are you sure this is Mosailtown?"

"This is it, absolutely right. I even saw the name on the city gate." The guide knew that the atmosphere here was so strange that if he had led the wrong way, his life would be in danger.

Mayor Qi naturally saw the name on the city wall, but he felt extremely uneasy and couldn't help but check 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 might indeed occur.

But the knight commander felt somewhat reassured knowing that there was still a level three wizard apprentice in the group.

He pulled on the reins and rode his horse toward the last carriage in the procession, a low-key vehicle that no one dared to underestimate.

"Sir, something seems off about this town. Would you please come down and take a look?"

After speaking, the knight commander immediately dismounted and went to the other party's carriage, preparing to personally help the person down.

However, he waited for a long time but did not hear any movement from inside the carriage.

"Master Wizard?" the Knight Commander couldn't help but call out again.

But there was still no response from inside the carriage.

Completely irritated by the silence, the knight commander no longer cared about offending the other party, took two steps onto the frame, and opened the car door.

However, the carriage was empty.

"Heh...heh..."

The candlelight in the carriage was still burning steadily. A piece of parchment lay flat on the small table, and a quill pen had fallen to the floor sometime during the night. A little black ink had splattered onto the exquisite lambskin carpet.

But there was no arrogant wizard apprentice.

The knight commander rushed out of the carriage at an even faster speed, grabbed the coachman by the collar, and slammed him to the ground.

"Where is the wizard?"

The driver was so frightened by what he saw that he trembled and lay on the ground, too weak to even get up.

But to save his life, he could only stammer, "I don't know. Before we entered the city, the magistrate asked me what this place was, but after we entered, he never spoke again."

The knight commander then 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 at once!" The knight commander awkwardly mounted his horse, squeezed the flanks tightly, and quickly rode to the princess's carriage.

"Your Highness, please sit still. We need to get out of here quickly; something is very wrong."

The knight commander felt so nervous that he was incoherent, but the princess's carriage continued to emit soft, rustling sounds, as if the two inside had not yet had their fill.

He could no longer bear it, so he turned his head to the side and pushed open the flimsy car door.

"Ah—ah—"

The knight commander didn't look into the carriage, but the maid beside him couldn't help but glance at it, and that one glance made her scream in fright.

The extremely shrill female voice seemed to pierce the knight commander's eardrums, causing his heart to surge. He could no longer care about anything else and turned his head to look into the car.

"what!"

Upon seeing the scene inside the carriage, even the usually mature and composed Knight Commander couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He felt his legs trembling, unable to support the weight of his armor any longer.

With a thud, the knight commander fell to the ground.

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

She remained gracefully seated in her magnificent and elaborate court dress.

But the person supporting this dress has turned from a beautiful woman into a series of swollen blood blisters.

As the carriage doors opened, the maid and the knight cried out in surprise, startling the humanoid monster wrapped in the long court dress.

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

When it begins to move, the blood blisters all over its body rub against each other, making a soft, bubbling sound that makes one blush and their heart race.

A slit appeared in one of the many blood blisters located on the head.

"save……"

However, the cry for help had not yet escaped his throat.

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

Blood-red liquid surged out of the bubbles, converging into a thin, crimson stream that first stained the hem of the supporting skirt, then soaked the carpet of the carriage.

When the carpet becomes saturated and can no longer absorb any more liquid, these blood-red streams begin to spread outwards.

A small amount of liquid dripped outwards along the gaps in the vehicle body.

More red liquid flowed into the car door.

"Splash—"

At that moment, the knight commander seemed to hear the sound of the waves.

"Run..." he whispered, as if afraid of disturbing the red water on the other side.

The knight commander struggled to his feet, turned around, and sprinted back towards the car door he had come from.

He no longer cared about chivalry, the responsibilities on his shoulders, or the ordinary people in the team who were filled with fear and confusion.

All he wanted to do was escape.

More and more red water gushed out of the carriage, and the entire carriage, unable to bear the weight, shattered into countless pieces with a crash, which were swept away by the water and rolled around.
