Although the sound of the explosion faded and the museum stopped shaking, the ears of many were still tingling badly, as if thousands of flies were buzzing around, and they could hear nothing clear.
”One wall and several pillars are completely destroyed… One fourth of the museum is severely affected,” reported a knight to the night watcher. ”Fortunately, no one is hurt. And the viscount sent me to tell you to not lower your guard. According to lord Wright, the attacker might be a fourth circle sorcerer who could use Fire Ball or something of equivalent explosive power.”
Although the level of a magic spell was fixed according to the different levels of power of the casters, the effects varied greatly, even if the difference was only one level.
”I won’t.” The night watcher nodded. ”I’ll call up more night watchers to come here to assist the viscount as well, and to protect Mr. Brown.”
The night watcher also felt quite pissed off by the fact that the attacker hasn’t been found yet.
”Good. The viscount is furious right now.” The knight nodded and walked toward Saugus to send him the comforting words from the viscount.
”Haulies, I want to leave this place, right now.” Brown’s voice trembled.
”I’ll send you back home when more night watchers arrive.” Haulies, the adventurer-looking night watcher nodded. He of course understood Brown’s nervousness.
After all, nothing was more horrible than this kind of unknown danger, when the attacker could actually still be anywhere in this place.
”Why? How long do I still have to wait here?” Brown urged the night watcher out of anger and fear, ”Just let the pastors and cardinals nearby come here!”
Haulies shrugged, ”These holy pastors and cardinals won’t show up right now, and they will only arrive when we actually besiege the attackers.”
”I don’t want to stay here anymore. Haulies! Let me go!” cried Brown, ”I don’t want to be the bait anymore! I’m leaving Sturk as soon as possible!”
”Calm down, Mr. Brown… Please calm down.” Haulies tried to comfort him, ”More night watchers are on their way.”
”Please hurry!” Brown started to walk back and forth within a small area, and his great fear was torturing him.
”You gotta leave… You gotta leave right now… You gotta go…” Brown murmured to himself. He was going crazy.
As he was moving around, most of the feathers fell on the ground and disappeared.
”You gotta go… Leave here… Leave forever…” The voice in Brown’s mind grew louder and louder. The voice was like Brown’s own voice, but also like someone else’s.
Finally, brown broke down mentally. He suddenly turned around and rushed to the gate as fast as he could. He was fast, and his speed came from his great fear.
As soon as Haulies noticed that Brown ran away, his heart sank. He had a bad foreboding.
”Wait! Don’t go!” shouted Haulies.
When Brown was almost at the gate, he suddenly sensed great danger, and he quickly woke up from this fear and panic.
However, it was too late. A fireball with the size of a head directly hit the upper part of Brown’s body!
In the last second of Brown’s life, in the corner of his eye, Brown saw a young man wearing a black top hat hidden beside the gate. The young man pushed up his monocle with his left hand while, at the same time, the light of fire was still lingering on his left wrist.
Bang!
Together with another explosion from the fireball, the upper part of Brown’s body exploded, and the fierce fire stopped his body from regenerating.
Brown was killed.
...
”!!” Haulies was shocked when he heard the other explosion.
That was the end of Brown, Haulies realized desperately, although he could not believe the fact that Brown was still killed despite the close protection from the night watchers and knights.
When he rushed to the gate of the museum, what Haulies saw were only pieces of Brown’s body, and only the lower parts of the body could still be recognized.
