Volume 1 Chapter 9: The Great Plague

Mr. Zero arrives at a bustling port.

"Darkhaven...... Tsk, who gave this place such a fitting name? ”

The port belonged to the great nobles of the kingdom, the Wolfgang family.

After all, from the family that can firmly occupy the top three major ports in the kingdom, regardless of the wealth, the forces behind it are enough to imagine.

The contemporary head of the family, Count Gavgario Wolfgang, was a young man with a bit of arrogance and arrogance.

Because his sister is the queen of the day, he does whatever he wants in this land.

However, as mentioned earlier, he is young and promising, although he is reckless, but the earl still manages this place in an orderly manner, and he also has a good reputation.

Mr. Zero couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw a wanted notice posted on the door of the church not far away.

"The efficiency of the church is still good. It's faster than I can do on a daily basis. ”

He saw a veiled aristocratic woman come out of the church gloomily.

Immediately, the wanted warrant seemed to attract her attention.

"Wait a minute, this is...... Ah, why didn't he tell me......" After reading it, her body seemed to be filled with a more melancholy atmosphere. "It's awful......"

"But Gavgario, should he support the royal family...... No, it should be said, surely I won't support the Holy See......" muttering to herself, she ignored Mr. Zero's existence and walked straight by.

"You know Gavgario...... Mr. Earl?" it wasn't until Mr. Zero suddenly spoke up that the lady realized that someone was watching her.

"Ah, no, no, I ......," she said incoherently.

"I'm looking for a little bit of something with Monsieur Earl...... Ma'am, can you introduce me to me?" asked Mr. Zero in a gentle tone, but still blocking her way.

Ophelia looked at him with some horror, but saw the other party's metal-like inorganic eyesβ€”

......

"Ah, I, what I just said, Gavgario will be angry, I betrayed him...... No, don't ......" The woman suddenly regained consciousness at a table in an elegant restaurant, and then broke down hysterically.

"No, please don't, ma'am. I'm forcing you to tell the truth about everything, and you're unconscious, and you didn't say it on purpose, did you?"

"No...... Don't ......" The woman fell from her chair with a shivering face, her eyes lost.

Mr. Zero shook his head, the poor woman had been suppressed in fear and nervousness for so long that she had become extremely neurotic. Even if he borrowed abnormal supernatural powers, he encountered too many difficulties in the process of inquiry.

Thankfully, though, the outline of the whole event was roughly pieced together from her broken words......

"It's fine. It's all right, ma'am. Monsieur Earl will not know anything about what you say, and even you yourself will not know how much you have said......

yes, hysterically repeating the same thing, really saying it many times.

It's such a beautiful and elegant woman.

finally comforted her repeatedly to calm her down a little. When he watched her leave the restaurant worriedly, Mr. Zero also got up.

"Next, it's ......"

He had stepped out into the street, and as soon as he had taken his steps, he saw a messenger running in at the junction at the edge of the harbor.

"Sir, calm down!" he said, lifting the messenger up in an unmistakable voice, "there is no need to be so alarmed. Look, isn't it still falling?" he pointed to the sky with a slight amusement.

Since the events of the Great Church, the two ends of the sky have been faintly revealing an ominous background of red and blue.

But these ordinary people probably can't see it......

I just don't know if other broken lands also show this color.

...... Right?

The messenger was still trembling, and Mr. Zero had to ask gently, "What's going on?" ”

β€œ...... The plague is coming, sir!"

β€œ...... Plague?"

Mr. Zero couldn't help but be stunned.
