"Is the shadow of the city ......"

Rosen thought to himself and began to reflect on the information he had received from Fiona. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The previous day's tide had little effect on Byron Weis, and the inhabitants were now plagued by another scourge, the plague.

At first, a continuous fever and cough, then dehydration, skin ulceration, and finally blackening and dying, if Rosen guessed correctly, this should be the plague, commonly known as the Black Death.

In the history of the previous life, this disease swept through medieval Europe, causing more than 20 million deaths, which can be regarded as a rather horrific disease.

However, in this world, although the technology is not very developed, but in the case of magic and magic and the increase in the average physique of human beings, this epidemic did not cause much damage, and it was controlled not long after it began to spread, and only a few died of the disease, but it also caused a certain amount of panic.

As for why the epidemic is related to the cultists, Rosen doesn't have much clue for the time being.

In addition to the plague, the disappearances that have been going on since months ago are also noteworthy, and according to Fiona's statement, the missing people have no specific characteristics, both men and women, young and old, and look more like random crimes.

This reminded Rosen of the sacrifice of some cultists, which was more closely related to his own purpose.

Rosen also inquired about the grievances between the Izarion family and the Durant family, as White said, the Durant family is a big force on the side of Byron Weiss, rooted here for nearly a hundred years, raising private soldiers, controlling the economy, and almost on the same level as the baron in charge.

This is not only because of the financial strength of the Durant family, but also because the eldest daughter of the family, Elena, is the wife of the Viscount of Brunhill Province, and the eldest son is the confidant of the Viscount, an ordinary little lord, and he really doesn't dare to do anything with them.

In fact, the local lords also know that except for some government affairs that must be done by themselves on weekdays, most of the remaining affairs of Byron Weiss are entrusted to the Durant family, and he spends all his time drinking in the mansion.

This seems like a ridiculous situation, but it is exactly the situation that Byron Weiss is in.

"It's really confusing. ”

Rosen sighed.

White did not remarry after losing his wife in his early years, so he left no heirs, so he regarded Joshua and Sophia as his own, and loved the two siblings very much on weekdays.

Helplessly, Durant's youngest son Richard is lustful, and after a party of high people, he actually wanted to ** Sophia, who was only twelve years old at the time, Joshua couldn't help but do it, but was beaten violently, and finally Richard's father Mulla Durant came to stop Richard's terrible behavior.

The feud between the two families, or the feud between Richard and the Izarian family, was thus concluded.

From then on, when he saw Joshua, Richard would humiliate him, and Joshua could only suffer in silence for the sake of the family's interests, but fortunately, the two siblings generally lived in Regios, which made the lazy Richard have many fewer opportunities.

Richard is the heir left by Mula's deceased wife, so he is well cared for, and Mura can't bear to be too harsh on him, but he didn't expect Richard to develop such an arrogant and arrogant character, often causing trouble outside, which makes Mura a headache.

The reason why he brought Richard to work today should also be to let him cultivate the consciousness of becoming a person in power, but it still made a fool of himself.

In the face of this kind of gentleman, Rosen would be interested in educating him if he had the chance, but Rosen's primary goal now is not this.

He pondered what the shadow of the city meant, whether it was literal or had a deeper meaning.

There must be many small gangs in a big city like Byron Weiss, and it was on this shopping street that Rosen saw more than one brutal beating in the alley, which is very much in line with the idea of the dark side of the city.

However, since it is related to the epidemic, Rosen thinks that another explanation may be more plausible.

As he walked down the street, the sound of women soliciting customers from all walks of life could be heard from time to time, and an intoxicating fragrance filled the air, but as Rosen went deeper, the surroundings became quieter.

At the end of the street, in addition to the dilapidated and unattended shops, there are piles of garbage, among which you can glimpse many rats shuttling, which must be a major way to spread the disease.

The air began to swell with a slight rotten stench, and Lawson walked straight ahead, finally stopping at a hole.

The foul water then flows underground and eventually discharges outside the city, and as a primitive sewage system, Byron Weis's urban sewers are imbued with austere utilitarian connotations, and a damp wind blows from the mouth of the cave, carrying a disgusting smell of decay.

Rosen saw several rats crawling into the sewers in a row, the deep dark cavern like the mouth of a giant beast, devouring all creatures that tried to get close.

If the plague is a natural disaster, then the sewers are not taken too seriously, and most of the guards in the city are engaged in burning household garbage and exterminating rats, but if it is man-made, then Rosen thinks that there is no better stronghold than the sewers.

The stench kept most of the idlers out of the way, and the intricate corridors made it difficult to search in the carpet, and this was the best place to nourish evil before the Lord and the Durant family knew that it was all the work of the cultists.

"Anyway, let's take a look first. ”

Having made up his mind, Rosen walked straight into the hole in the sewer.

The shadows gradually engulfed his body, and the noise behind him faded away, and he only felt the calm around him.

No, it's not peaceful.

Under Rosen's powerful perception, no wind or grass could escape him, whether it was the slow flow of sewage, the subtle cries of rats, or the sound of leaking water droplets hitting stones, all of which formed a three-dimensional picture in his mind.

Channeling his senses, Lawson's mental power climbed through the many forks in the sewers, searching for any notable existence.

As he walked forward, he was amazed by the intricate underground palace, which Rosen had read in his previous life about the urban drainage systems built in many large cities in modern times, and he didn't believe it much, but now he saw that this seemingly ordinary building was indeed the crystallization of human ingenuity.

Before Lawson could thoroughly search the sewers, his outgoing perception was blocked for a while, and then, at an astonishing speed, three small dots appeared in Lawson's living radar, rapidly moving towards his location.

The three objects were smaller than humans, but they were unusually fast, and they were quite familiar with the structure of the sewers, and in the blink of an eye, they were only a few hundred yards away from Lawson.

Really.

His conjecture was confirmed, and Lawson pulled out the big sword he was carrying behind his back, recovered his mental power, and concentrated on the front.

A sparse sound echoed through the sewers, and with a low, creepy roar, Rosen relied on the undead's night vision to see what the monster was surrounding him.

That's a rat.

Enough to be the size of a wolfdog.
