Blake Noah is now hiding in the slums.

I'm afraid there are a lot of plague sufferers hiding here...... After all, few people in the slums can afford to hire a doctor, and not many people are educated enough to be "epidemic sensitive".

But this is also a helpless move.

I don't know why the aristocratic lord here chased him like crazy as soon as he saw him.

Seems to be the lord here?

"It's crazy......"

But Blake had to admit that the moment he saw the other party, he also had a strange feeling that was difficult to understand.

"But...... The last descendant of Mir...... Where is it......"

In order to cure his sister's illness, after he heard that there was a member of the plague doctor family here in the Extreme Dark Harbor who could successfully cure the plague, he hurried all the way here. It's still under lockdown...... It took a lot of effort to sneak in.

An anomalous, almost mortal illness that is infected.

This is the characterization of this plague.

I'm just a veteran, but I don't have the ability to go further.

Or rather, ordinary doctors......

If it's connected to anomalous powers, maybe try it...... Break the seal of the power you once had to deal with it?

Even if I die, if my sister can be saved......

However, it is more likely that my sister is also infected by the darkness. That kind of risk, I can't afford to try it myself.

So I can only hope that the doctor here is capable enough......

Suddenly, he heard a voice that gradually became bustling.

"What's going on again?" he asked, casually stopping a man walking towards the center of the port city.

"The Earl seems to have something to announce. ”

“...... He's crazy, isn't he? Gathering a crowd during this plague?"

"Please do not slander or blaspheme the great Gavgario, sir. "He must be to preach the will of God: for he is the great apostle of light." ”

Blake saw the fanatical devotion on the other man's face.

"Hey...... What the hell are you talking about?" he thought, he hadn't heard that the lords here had been canonized by the Church?

Anyway, when I was in the army, I remember hearing that the Wolfgang family here, as a traditional princely faction, has a rather bad relationship with the church, right?

"Light is to shine on the world. We have all been deceived for far too long by the clumsy hypocrite who trampled on our heads. Light does not oppress us like a false god: for He has no need for infinite greatness. Not only that, but He will bless us, and His mercy will eventually spread to the world, as the light shines on the earth and warms the hearts of each of us......"

Looking at the fanatical crowd that suddenly began to preach, Blake felt a certain horror spread.

Cultists. The thought crossed his mind.

"And our lord, Count Gavgario, has been chosen by the awakened God, who will spread the splendor and authority of God, and let the Word of God spread throughout the earth. God loves Him as He loves Him as Sons, and He protects us as Sons. He is the Son of God, and we will be His sons, to share in the glory of God!"

The cultists of this world are not such cheap things...... Blake, who had experienced the depths of darkness, was not one of the mysteries who knew nothing: the Holy See did have a god behind it, not a god who simply deceived people. They hold the supernatural powers bestowed by the gods. Or it may even be that it was not given by the gods.

And the cult that really dares to show its head will inevitably have a strangeness lurking behind it that is much more dangerous than the gods.

"Yes...... Really......" Blake said vaguely.

“...... You're not going to be brainwashed by that cult of false gods, are you...... Well, it's no wonder you, after all, everyone was like this before. The Darkhaven civilian—the cultist—picked up Black and walked toward the center of the city, "Go and be inspired by the true God." Even if you don't believe it, listen a little...... You'll understand. ”

"No...... This ......" Blake was thinking about how to shirk it, "I still have something urgent......

If you get found there, you may not be able to escape.

"Hmm...... Is that so? Forget it. ”

The other party doesn't seem to be really as crazy as the average cultist?

Blake caught a glimpse of a gold coin-like object hanging from his chest.

"What's that, amulet?" he asked casually.

"Yes, this is the symbol of God that Gavgario has given us in the name of God. The other party said.

"Huh?" he couldn't help but look again. It seems to be just an ordinary gold coin hanging from it, reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight.

"Interested? God is generous, you ask for it, and God will give it. The man apparently hadn't completely given up on his plans to persuade either.

"Next time, next time. Blake didn't see anything special, so he excused himself and left.

......

"It's here after all. ”

Although it was watched from a far corner.

I wouldn't be able to find the doctor for a while—for it was said that almost everyone had been summoned here—so I might as well come here to investigate and ease the uneasiness that was haunting me a little.

What exactly was the lord going to do?

Blake looked at the figure in the distance, which had been reduced by the distance.

I can't hear what he's talking about, but it's probably missionary.

He gave an impassioned speech, and the people in the audience were also excited.

"It's worthy of being the elite of the nobility...... Tut. ”

He despised the rot and filth of the aristocracy. He was a soldier, and not one of those "professional" soldiers who ended up like vultures chasing carrion for the sake of survival, wealth, and promotion, but a noble soldier who considered himself to be more virtuous than most disgusting aristocratic fat pigs.

Even nowadays you have to be a mercenary.

But he had to admit that he still envied those nobles in his heart.

If you had that kind of family background, would your family be happier? Would Grace have more smiles?

Myself...... Can you be like that young aristocrat, standing in the sun, under the eyes of everyone like a hero, shining and guiding the country......

Probably everyone, even those who look down on the aristocracy, have somewhere in their hearts who yearn to be a member of that privileged class.

Think about it, can you ......

"Yo, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

"What?" he pulled out his dagger in horror and turned around.

"Well, that's not a friendly response. A blonde man dressed in gorgeous clothes stood in front of him, looking relaxed.

Although it is gorgeous, it is not at all inconsistent, but it seems to set off his image even more, or rather, it always makes people feel that this outfit should be ten times more gorgeous to match his appearance.

"Who are you?" Blake asked warily, "I haven't seen you." ”

In fact, this handsome face that seems to be a creation of the gods seems to be a little impressive......

I always feel that it is a bit similar to the "famous actor" on the poster that my sister once waved when she came back from college.

Tsk, inexplicably a little unhappy, the impression score is reduced.

"Oh man, don't be so outside. Unusually familiar, the other man walked over and ignored Blake's dagger and tried to grab his shoulder.

"I don't want to be called a brother to a frivolous person like you......" Blake didn't hesitate to put the dagger against the other party's neck, "stay away from me." ”

"Okay, okay. The man obediently raised his hands and took a few steps back, "Actually, it's the first time I've seen you." ”

"And what did you mean by talking to him just now?" Blake felt an inexplicable pressure as he approached, and only felt a little relaxed when he retreated.

What the hell is going on with this frivolous man...... That kind of horror was almost only felt when I faced Mr. Zero for the first time.

Blake suddenly felt that his clothes were wet and uncomfortable, but his mind was clearer.

The other party is also abnormal?

"Because I see your fate. I know you're just like us...... Well, at least it used to be. Mr. Zero is such an amazing person. ”

Although he said unfathomable words, the pompous smile on his face obviously greatly reduced his credibility.

"Huh, you say Mr. Zero?" Blake reacted suddenly, "where is he? I want to find him, please let him save ......"

"I probably seem to be able to find him...... But he's walking around himself......"

"Then you can take me there?"

"Listen, young man, I was rushed here by the vampire devil with a whip, and it took me a long time to catch up...... Ahem, in short, I'm tired and don't do it. And I didn't know what that guy was going to do......" The young man, who looked probably no older than Blake, looked unmotivated and lazy, rubbing his waist and back like an old man.

"......" Blake touched the back of the dagger, as if considering whether it would be better to make a few holes in the guy in front of him.

Although I probably can't beat him, if it were Mr. Zero, he would have something to entrust him.

"Ahem, of course, let's go after we settle this matter. He finally shook his head and said.

“...... Thank you very much.

So, who are you?" Blake asked, confused.

This man looks like one of those overindulgent trash aristocrats. Well, his temperament is perhaps more like that of a king than a gentleman...... But this guy looks really bad.

If it weren't for some inexplicable intuition of your own...... Or Lingjue, he won't believe a word of what the other party says.

Even now I wonder if the stress I just felt was real.

"Me?"

The other party grinned cheerfully and showed a mouthful of white teeth:

"Fate. ”
