The red sun has already set over the mountain, leaving only a patch of red in the sky.
There were very few pedestrians entering and exiting the town of Duolun. The deputy captain of the orc team guarding the city gate looked at the sky and began to instruct his subordinates to link the horses together and prepare to close the city gate.
Since the fire in the Governor's Mansion, Orlando has issued a curfew, which has made the orc residents who rarely go out at night even more panicked. Many people have closed their doors before dark.
A few pedestrians scattered far away from the city gate began to jog, trying to get into the city before the city gate closed. However, they were all stopped by the orc soldiers, who told them to wait until dawn tomorrow before entering the city.
The pedestrians wanted to protest on the grounds that it was still dark, but they were driven away by the orc deputy captain fiercely.
Just kidding, with the current strictness of entry and exit checks, it will be dark by the time all your belongings are searched. Isn’t it like I’m working overtime?
Captain David went to the city to search for suspicious persons, so the deputy captain was in charge of the city gates. The deputy captain enjoyed being able to keep his word.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves sounded on the street inside the city gate, and the sound sounded like they were running towards the city gate.
The vice-captain raised his eyebrows. Who dared to hit the muzzle of the gun at this time? So he ordered his subordinates to stand up and prepare to give the intruder a show of strength.
A carriage pulled by a tall black horse slowly stopped in front of the city gate. The driver was a short man wearing a linen robe. Although he wore a robe and hat, he could clearly see that he was a big goblin.
"The city gate has been closed. Come back tomorrow if you have anything to do!" the orc vice-captain put his hands on his hips and raised his chest and shouted loudly.
Kapu jumped out of the car and respectfully handed a message to the orc deputy captain: "Captain, there is a patient in the car. We are in a hurry to go out of the city to see a doctor in Maghe City. I would like to trouble you..."
The orc deputy captain didn't even look at the post. He waved his hand and said impatiently: "This is the rule set by Mr. Orlando. Not to mention patients, even if there is a dead person in your car, you have to wait until tomorrow!"
The card servant hurriedly took out a gold coin, put it on the post and handed it to the orc deputy captain again: "Can you please be accommodating..."
The orc vice-captain slapped the post and the gold coins directly on the ground and said angrily: "Are you unable to understand? Are you so stubborn about leaving the city gate? Is there an arsonist in the car?"
After saying that, it waved its hand, and two orcs immediately climbed onto the carriage to drag the people inside out for questioning.
The car curtain was opened, and there were three people sitting inside, including Wagel, Jin Jin who was handcuffed, and Li An who was wearing a black robe with her face covered.
"Doctor Wagel?" The orc vice-captain was startled, then immediately changed his attitude and said respectfully, "Forgive me for my blindness, I didn't recognize it as your carriage, did I not hit you?"
The orc deputy captain was the first batch of orc soldiers stationed in the town of Duolun after the human race evacuated, so he was very familiar with Vagel. His seriously ill mother was cured by Vagel before, so he respected Vagel very much.
Vagel jumped off the carriage, bowed slightly and said: "Dear captain, there is an orc noble with a distinguished status. He has a rare disease. The conditions here are simple and cannot be treated. He needs to be transferred to Maghe City immediately to find a big hospital. For treatment, it’s not too late to get out of the city before it’s completely dark, right?”
"This..." the orc vice-captain hesitated. Although it respects Vagel, this is a special period. If he lets Vagel out without authorization, if he is reported to Mr. Orlando, he may not be able to eat and carry around.
What's more, David's position as captain is in jeopardy now, and he has a high chance of being able to take the position. There is really no need to take the risk and let Wagel's carriage go out.
Wagel seemed to see the concerns of the orc deputy captain and said: "Our departure from the city was approved by Mayor Christopher, and his signature is on the post."
"Really?" The orc vice-captain relaxed.
The card servant hurriedly handed over the post that he had already picked up. The orc deputy captain opened it and checked it carefully. It was indeed approved by Mayor Christopher.
It looked into the carriage, and Li An in black robe coughed lightly, while Jin Jin next to him knelt respectfully to wait for her to drink water, showing the attitude of an honest and responsible slave.
Wagel added: "I won't leave the city. If anything happens, you can still find me."
The orc vice-captain smiled and said, "That's no problem,"
It returned the post to the card servant, not forgetting to put the gold coin quietly into his pocket, turning around and waving his hand and shouting: "Pull the horse away, let it go!"
The Kapu who got back into the carriage whipped up his whip, and the horse neighed, dragging the carriage out of the city gate and running quickly towards the suburbs.
In the carriage, Lianne looked back at Wagel, whose figure was gradually shrinking, and frowned slightly: "Is Dr. Wagel okay?"
Jin Jin also looked at the city gate that was moving away and said comfortingly: "I didn't expect that Dr. Wagel and Christopher are actually old friends. Don't worry, with this relationship, it should be safe."
Li An turned around and stared at Jin Jin coldly: "What are you doing with your hands?"
Jin Jin retracted his hand angrily: "Isn't this a gentle pat on the back of your hand to comfort you? Don't you think this is very reassuring?"
"I don't think so. If you dare to touch me without my consent next time, I'll stomp on your hand."
Jin Jin touched his nose and could only mutter "How can I untie this" while fidgeting with the handcuffs to cover up his embarrassment.
After the car was quiet for a while, Lianne suddenly said: "Why didn't you tell me that I bit the wound on your shoulder?"
She has learned from Dr. Wagel everything that happened when she was in a coma.
Jin Jin said: "What's there to say? If I tell you, will you pay me the money? Or give me a bite too?"
Li An was silent for a moment and said: "You saved me, but I accidentally injured you again. I will remember this kindness and will definitely repay you."
"Let's talk about it later, let's get some sleep first?" Jin Jin looked at Li'an and blinked.
Seeing Jin Jin looking at her expectantly, Li An asked doubtfully, "What?"
"Nothing, sleep!" Jin Jin laughed, then put the handcuffs aside, lay down on the bench fixed in the carriage, and soon began to snore softly.
Li An thought that Jin Jin was really tired, so she also sat down, closed her eyes, and started to take a nap.
The corner of Jin Jin's mouth curled up slightly. How can you make a woman feel differently towards you? The first step is to make her feel guilty about you!
In front of Jin Jin, an experienced driver, Li An is just a novice in love. As long as she is patient enough, are she afraid that she won't be able to conquer this little wild cat like you?
The carriage swayed and hurried past the forest path, not noticing that a short figure crawled out of the woods on the side. The figure looked like a toad, with ragged clothes and scars all over his body. The most special thing is that it wears a red hat on its head.
It was the red hat goblin who enjoyed the "thousand-year kill" of the mace!
It dragged its weak body and walked hard towards the town of Duolun...
...
There is no moon in the sky tonight, and even the stars are hidden. There is only endless darkness covering the town of Duolun.
There was deathly silence in the town. On the dark streets, groups of patrolling soldiers passed by alternately holding torches. The clang of the knives on their waists hitting the armor echoed in every alley, chilling the life.
It was dark inside the Ziran Medical Center. Only the bean-like lights in the clinic outside the hospital lit up, reflecting Wagel's calm face orange-red.
"Bang bang bang..."
There was a rough slapping sound on the wooden door, and the person outside seemed to be in an unusually angry mood.
In the end, I couldn't escape.
Wagel stood up, no matter how urgent the knock on the door was, he walked to the door calmly and slowly unlocked the inner lock.
The wooden door opened with a creak, and Wagel walked out. What he saw were dozens of torches surrounding the medical center in an arc, and more than twenty pairs of murderous blood-red eyes in the darkness.
"Dr. Wagel, why?"
David suppressed his anger.
Wagel did not answer David, but glanced around at the murderous orc soldiers and said, "Do you have any evidence to prove that it is related to me?"
"Is Togo the person in your medical clinic today?"
"I never said that the other party calls himself Togo, and I don't know."
"Where did they go?"
"I can't cure them, so they have to go to other cities for medical treatment."
"That's enough! I've given you the greatest respect. If you still choose to pretend to be deaf and stupid, I won't be polite!" David said angrily.
Wagel looked at David calmly: "If you insist on taking me away, I can't resist, but I must emphasize that Mayor Christopher will not agree to arrest people arbitrarily without evidence."
A very familiar voice from Wagel sounded from behind the crowd: "In wartime, the law must also give in to military orders!"
The orc soldiers made way for him, and Christopher in a crisp suit walked out.
Wagel's eyes moved slightly, but soon returned to calm.
"Wagel, I didn't expect that you asked me for a special release today to cover their departure... Is it worth it?" Christopher took off his top hat and asked a little confused.
"...When did you find out?"
"An hour ago, a surviving Red Hat Goblin entered the city and found Lord Orlando."
Wagel understood. He was silent for a moment and said: "I am a doctor. It is my bounden duty to save lives and heal the wounded. There is no good or evil here, and there is no race."
"But you did a little too much."
"...They are warriors and should not die here."
Christopher sighed: "Follow me to see Lord Orlando and tell it everything you know. Maybe there is still a way to survive."
Wagel shook his head and said: "You know Orlando's temper better than anyone else. I can't survive. If you are still my friend, kill me now to save me some pain."
Christopher put on his hat again: "Lord Orlando needs you to live to see it."
Wagel smiled: "You know, I'm a doctor and I can die right now if I want to."
Christopher shook his head and said: "I suggest you not to do this. At least, please think about your wife and children."
Wagel's expression finally changed: "You caught them!?"
"They are on their way to the town of Duolun. Of course, they are escorted by our soldiers. You don't have to worry about their safety."
"Christopher!!" Wagel was furious.
"Take away!" David issued the arrest order...
...
