"Stride, stomp."
The sound of horses' hooves with tin cans hurried on the country dirt road under a clear sky, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
A large group of horses armed to the teeth sat heavily armed knights dressed in uniform manners with magnificent silver armor in their majesty.
As an investigation into the suspected sudden and powerful fluctuations in the Lut Kingdom, the Punishment Knights rushed to the forefront of the plague land in the Lut Kingdom, which was not valued by the royal family, looking for the latest clues.
As a "civilian" member of the Church of the Supreme Goddess, Cardinal Sein, Lumar is still in the capital of the Kingdom of Lut, as well as some shady exchange of interests.
The Cult of the Supreme Goddess, which consists of the Templar and the Church, practices a form of rule that separates civil and military, except that the so-called Wen has become a magic far superior to force in the other world with magic.
If it weren't for the fact that the release of high-level magic was too cumbersome and complicated, and although there was a magical martial arts skill like martial arts in this world that valued fighting skills, in general, the status of martial artists and magic would be basically equal, but the status of magic was still higher than that of martial arts in reality.
The weakest of the three human kingdoms, the strength of the Rut Kingdom is less than half of that of the Duchy of Siris, and even the largest vassal of the Clay Empire is not much stronger, but due to its special geographical location and environmental reasons such as many forests and ruins, and more barren hills and deserts, this kingdom has maintained an unexpected peace.
It is bordered only by the Principality of Ciris, and the three easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack natural dangers are held at the border between the Principality of Siris and the Kingdom of Lute, which makes the Duchy of Cialys feel that the Kingdom of Lute is like a piece of chicken ribs.
Even so, relations between the two countries are a bit poor, and they are wary of each other.
As the closest to the last battlefield of the war of extermination, the kingdom of Lut has left many relics that were established and lost because of the war, and it is a paradise for adventurers.
On a sunny day, the dirt roads in the countryside of the Kingdom of Lut were constantly rolling up a puff of sand and dust under the hooves of the war horses, and a knight order of fifty people simply raised a sandstorm on this dilapidated dirt road.
As a new Knight of Punishment of the Templar Punishment Order, although he is the youngest Knight of Punishment in this team, he has a special relationship after nearly ten years of hard practice, he still relies on his own strength to be promoted to Knight of Punishment, and as an assistant deacon of the Church with the same status as the Knight of Punishment, and even higher regional bishops are secretly sold in the kingdom of the Kingdom of Lut through some "civilian" church personnel.
However, none of this has anything to do with our protagonist Mu Ze for the time being, because they already have a new goal.
The city of Sedetai is the birthplace of the seeds of the continental language, and it is also the front line of natural disasters
The closest city to the center of the Extinction Scourge that has not yet been affected by the Scourge, together with Lofema City and Sered City, is known as the three major adventurer cities of the Rut Kingdom.
As the largest transit city near the Elmir Forest, and also one of the large cities in the trade route between the Kingdom of Lut and the Duchy of Ciris, Sedetai has developed from a small village to a famous city of three adventurers by virtue of its natural advantages.
Recently, however, this normally prosperous city seems to have just woken up, and even in the rising sun, it is not as crowded as Lofema City in the other direction, but it feels a little deserted.
However, this is also normal, as a highly infectious and fatal natural disaster is constantly spreading towards the city of Sedetay, and a large number of city residents flee the city every day, compared to money, or perhaps the most important thing.
Those who remained were either residents who could not leave for various reasons, or speculators who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a profit.
Of course, there is one profession in Adventure City that is absolutely indispensable.
Adventurers are professions that take risks to gain high theories and honors, at least for most adventurers who don't know much about it, this slowing down natural disaster means wealth and opportunity.
As a result, the preliminary plan for the concealment of Rukia's identity that Mu Ze had made in Loferma City was proposed by Mu Ze after a simple modification.
"No problem, as long as Brother Mu Ze is by your side, it's fine."
The unconditional trust from Rukia touched Mu Ze a little, and Zero, as the guardian of the Demon King, was completely opposite to Rukia's opinion.
"Dissent, let the Demon King be with those Terran bugs? No, the glory of the Demon King must not be tarnished by these Terran bugs! ā
The two different answers came from Rukia and Zero, compared to Rukia's affirmation, the content in Zero's somewhat contentious tone made Mu Ze look at Zero with some worry.
"Zero, Mu Ze is the elder brother of the concubine!"
A different voice appeared in Rukia's shouting, the tone of command that had once appeared in Rukia's dreams as a demon king.
Although he was a little unwilling, the Abyss Knight Chief, who was directly under the Demon King, still put loyalty first.
"Follow your will."
Now that Rukia, as the master, had already made a decision, and there was no chatter about "bitter words", Zero recovered from his original excitement to indifference after the ceremony, and then looked at Mu Ze, who was the person who brought up the plan.
Until now, Mu Ze can't forget the murderous aura in Zero's purple eyes that is enough to freeze everything:
"If Rukia-sama goes awry because of this plan......"
Thinking of this, Mu Ze couldn't help but shudder, and a familiar chill appeared in this target, "The Forest on the Outskirts of Sedetai City".
Maybe it's because of the wrong indication of the adventurer's map, after all, it's not a 100% restored map in the game, and it may also be influenced by this world, some things that don't belong to this world begin to be rejected, and the contradiction between the rules and the rules makes some things brought from "Infinite World" become (??? ļ¼ć
Mu Ze and his party, who were originally located in the forest on the outskirts of Sedetai, appeared in a large cemetery.
The sun was still shining on the resting place of the deceased, new old simple stone wooden famous nameless, one after another stone tombstones carved the deceased during his lifetime, but the most common in this cemetery are simple wooden crosses with two wooden sticks crossed.
Even in the morning, the eerie cool air from inside the cemetery made Mu Ze shiver a little, but the real reason was not this cemetery full of tombstones.
Feeling the cold air behind him, Mu Ze, who was originally smiling, couldn't help but get goosebumps, and the scene of almost killing him in that small town called "Jade" appeared in front of him again.
"Ah, spare me......"
"Click......"
Mu Ze wanted to cry a little when he thought of this, and the next second the voice from a corner caught the attention of Zero and Rukia, and feeling the shift of his gaze full of coldness, Mu Ze also looked over there.
