The town of Parahn is shaped like a ghost, and there is little living in the town except for the crows hovering in the sky and the beasts that have strayed into the town. If there were, it was just a mutilated walking corpse.

Charlotte and Claire led their disciples to walk in the gloomy town, the power of the plague made the sky in this town always gloomy, like the low pressure before the summer rainstorm, a dreary feeling of the mountain rain coming.

The winter wind crashes against uninhabited houses, slamming doors and windows, and creaking old doorshafts, which is both flustering and desolate.

The group of five came to the center of the town, and along the way, they alarmed many wild beasts, but none of the real living people saw them. After the Scourge is gone, all sorts of critters take over the deserted town and feast on unattended granaries.

Charlotte casually held the enchanted sword in her right hand, occasionally plunging the sword into the chests of the mutilated walking corpses. These poor undead are supposed to have been killed by the first group of necromantic townspeople at the outbreak of the Scourge, and were abandoned by the Scourges after being transformed into undead due to their mutilated bodies at the time of death.

"When I saw them, I felt that the world was so cruel, even in the world of the undead. There are no human rights, no resistance, and only powerlessness to meet the cruel end. Lolita suddenly sighed.

"Lolita ......" Leonard was deceived by her appearance, thinking to himself - there can be such a kind and lovely girl in the world.

"Don't pretend to be lazy there!" Charlotte didn't like that at all, "help Leonard and Vivien set up the testing equipment!"

Lolita bleated her little tongue and grimaced at Charlotte, and then obediently got busy. The boys and girls were busy installing the testing equipment and exchanging their experiences in learning spells over the years.

Compared to Nell, the three of them, who are also mages, have more in common. Although they have their own famous teachers, and now they specialize in different fields, they may all be derived from the Sylvia lineage, and they are very similar in terms of spell concepts.

In the process, Leonard occasionally asked, "How are my brothers and sisters doing?"

This topic stunned Lolita and Vivien, and the two girls suddenly remembered that Claire had many apprentices, and Leonard was not even the best among them.

"I don't know!" Lolita was not interested in the topic. Although Charlotte and Claire are brothers, they don't have much contact with Claire's apprentices, "And we haven't been back to Icewind Castle since we left on the water!"

"Really?" Leonard said with a nostalgic expression, as he seemed to recall his carefree time at Icewind, "I'd love to go back and see them if I have time." I've heard that after solving the Scourge of the Dead, the teacher will return to Erosa with Teacher Charlotte, and I wonder if they will return to Icewind Castle once. ”

"I think so, after all, we're all in the north......" Lolita clapped her hands suddenly, "Why don't you go back to Icewind Castle first! I just want to go home and see my father!

"Hmm!" Vivien's eyes lit up, and after five years away from home, she began to feel homesick.

"Lolita——!!" shouted Charlotte not far away, "don't be lazy!"

"Hmm-" Lolita said with a cheek like a bun, "I'm not lazy!

"Sorry, sorry! On the other hand, Leonard was very uneasy, "It's all my fault, it's not Lolita's business." ”

"Huh?" Charlotte felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly, "I know! You and Nell are not good things at a young age!"

Leonard and Vivien blushed at the same time, but Lolita was still looking like she was all right, stealing fun there.

Charlotte's expression was gloomy, but Claire's usual indifferent face actually carried a bit of happiness. The latter patted Charlotte on the shoulder and said, "Look at the point, let the disciples solve their own affairs." ”

"Of course you can say that! Anyway, you won't lose!"

"Look at what you said, it's like a father who is reluctant to marry his daughter. You shouldn't be unhappy because you're not married, right?"

"Ha, ha, that way, it's like you're not a single dog?"

The two older youths of the Stee world hurt each other, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly, so they gave up arguing and took advantage of this time to observe the situation in the town of Paran, and occasionally made brief exchanges.

After about ten minutes, Leonard's side finally installed the test. It was a half-human-tall mechanism with a metal tube branching upwards in the middle, a special oval vessel in the center, and buttons and a screen that looked like liquid crystal at the bottom.

Although it looks very strange, it is surprisingly useful in detecting the concentration of natural plagues.

Claire activates the device and directs her disciples to prepare materials and collect data. He writes and draws in a notebook, and while calculating the data, he also discusses ideas with Charlotte from time to time, and has no qualms about communicating his ideas about necromancy and spells.

This is the tacit understanding between Charlotte and Claire, they are different from the general relationship of the same family, and they cherish themselves after the separation. Instead, they will exchange core knowledge with each other in exchange for the common progress of the two.

After a while, Claire summarized the final statistics and showed them to everyone. He and Charlotte did not express their opinions for the time being, but let the disciples speak first, so as to cultivate their subjective initiative.

"There's a high concentration of plague here!" Lolita's first report immediately saw what the problem was, and she looked up, "Does that mean the core of the scourge is around here?"

Vivien also affirmed Lolita's opinion, but came to a different conclusion, "The concentration of the plague is indeed higher than expected, and it stands to reason that there should not be this level of concentration after the Scourge Legion leaves." However, could this be a trick on the other side?"

Leonard echoed Vivien's argument, "Indeed, if I were Malthus and Gloria, I wouldn't let the first flashpoint reveal the core of the Scourge. ”

Claire nodded, which was what he was worried about as well. Malthus and Gloria are not ordinary people, could they expose their weaknesses so easily?

They should know how desperately the Alliance's manpower is short, and if it were their own, they would definitely set up a lot of suspicions, so as to delay time and give the undead Scourge more time to ferment.

As long as the plague of natural disasters breaks out in the whole of Vic County, even if he, Charlotte, Elbert, and Zenas have great ability, they will have to swallow the bitter fruit of failure.

Thinking of this, Claire pondered for a moment and asked Charlotte.

"Do you have any ideas? Charlotte. ”
