The light clouds fainted the moonlight, and the flickering starlight embedded in the sky, mixed with the silver-white afterglow in the dark night.

"It's a strange feeling...... Am I a little tired........" Crabs lay on his back on the bare ground, his broken eyes on his rotten face starry sky, and for a moment, he seemed to see the warm smiles of his father Nikita, Uncle Opa the administrator, and Uncle Marshall, the butler, who were silently waiting to leave the cold world with him.

"Wait for me a little longer, I'll be right away.... ..... with you" Crabus used all his strength to look at his almost broken and rotten body, the white bones of the right half of his body were exposed, and the surface of the bones was densely covered with mildew, and the flesh and some of the organs disappeared at some point.

He gripped the shattered orb of plague tightly with his intact left hand, and an intermittent, looming amount of energy was transmitted into his body, sustaining him as he could escape to the strange Valoran Realm.

The reason why he chose Valoran Territory was because he had heard the name of Valoran Territory when he was in the royal capital of Limontanlu, and it seemed that it was a newly rising legendary force in the Stoke Kingdom, and maybe it could stop the pursuit of those damned lizardmen.

Inexplicable delusions, even if he was blocked, Crabos felt that he was going to be unable to hold on, the fatal injuries and the rupture of the plague ball, he could not see any hope of survival.

Click! Click! Click!

The slight sound of footsteps pounding on the heart, oh forgot, I don't have a heart anymore. Crabus laughed to himself, then tried to keep his inner peace and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

He looked at the group of people in his field of vision with his shattered eyes, and the blonde youth at the front caught his attention, very clearly staggered, and it was also the figure he was waiting for.

"Is it Baron Modrian?" Crabs said softly, wanting to maintain aristocratic etiquette, but not wanting how terrible his appearance was at the moment, and as the words came out, thick pus dripping from his rotten face.

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to know my name, it's an honor!" Modrian looked at the strange legend who collapsed to the ground in front of him, his body was broken, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the other party cautiously, the rotten skin, the dark green pustules, were indeed signs of infection with the plague, so ........

"Your Majesty? Ahem..... I'm just a wretched man! Crabs said loudly, as if triggering the injury in his body, and couldn't help coughing a few times. Krabsnaku, the former Lord of the Kingdom! ”

Naku Family....... Blackwood Province.

Modrian raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression relaxed, and said softly: "It turns out that the Naku family of Forsbello Fortress, but I seem to remember that the Naku family does not have a legendary crown?" ”

"Yes, Naku, as the count's family of the kingdom, does not have a legendary crown, otherwise it would not have fallen to the point of ruining the family." Crabus's tone contained boundless resentment, as if he was recalling an unbearable experience, and then pointed to his broken body and laughed at himself. "And I'm not going to get to that point."

Gently moving his body, the pus in his body corroded the ground, and he didn't realize it until he reached his comfortable position: "Interested in listening to a story?" ”

"If you don't wait for treatment, I'm interested!" Modrian nodded and smiled, a dark green stream of data flickering in his pupils.

"Treatment? Do you think it's possible for my body to be healed? Crabs said with the corners of his mouth tugging, and then began to tell his story.

It's a miserable life experience, but alas, Modrian has seen more miserable things in his previous life, oh, maybe what is written in it is more touching than what he said.

But he had something more important than the story at the moment, and the cold system prompt suddenly sounded in his ears.

【Ding....... Unexpectedly found the source of the plague! 】

[Temporary Mission: The Source Behind the Plague, Successfully Completed!] 】

【Reward: Random Class Card*1】

[Evaluation: Something unexpected happened, the world is falling pie, maybe you should consider going to the casino to try your luck.] 】

After the temporary mission was completed and the random class cards were distributed, Modrian unexpectedly noticed that the technological system panel was still flickering, as if something was attracting it to the surrounding area.

His eyes fell on Crabs in front of him, and he explored carefully, his rotten body, the exposed 'mildew' white bones, and the shattered green crystal ball clenched in his left hand.

"Certain artifacts..... The hunger of the system .... Energy Tides... I'm curious! ”

Modrian's inspecting gaze caught Crabs' attention, and he immediately stopped telling his story, and his bloodshot eyes followed the direction of his gaze, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face when he saw the plague ball in his left hand.

"Are you interested in the Plague Ball? If you promise to help the Naku family take revenge on the Kokel clan, I'll give it to you! Crabus looked at Modrian with a pleading expression, and gently handed out the cracked Plague Orb in his left hand.

"Plague Ball, it seems to be a familiar name!" Modrian looked down at Crabs' performance in front of him and asked in a feigned cooperation.

"An artifact replica of the Abomination of the Plague God!" Crabs muttered, fanatical and respectful in his tone.

"Artifact Replica!?" Modrian said with an apt 'exclamation', his expression of disbelief revealing his face. "This ..... Can I, a faithless person, have it? ”

"Of course, I have absolute control over it, as long as you agree to my conditions, I can give it to you as a reward in the early stage!" Crabs said firmly, especially with the words gift and reward.

Hearing this, Modrian's face showed ecstasy, and he immediately hesitated, as if he was doubting, and finally said tentatively: "Then can I try to touch it?" ”

Seeing this, Crabs simply threw out the plague ball in his hand, pretending to be very indifferent, if he could ignore the madness that appeared in his bloodshot eyes.

Smack!

Modrian looked at the plague ball in his hand with a strange expression, and blinked, it seemed that it was easy, without any traps, to get this artifact imitation like this!?

【Ding.......... Does the discovery of a special energy source allow the system to decompose and absorb it? 】

【Absorb! 】

A faint green gas spread along Modrian's arm, but before it could continue, the wild and impulsive data stream in his eyes instantly pounced on the green crystal ball, devouring and decomposing despite the struggling plague gas.

【Ding....... Congratulations to the host for obtaining Orange Essence*200! 】

"Orange essence, a very unexpected bonus!" Modrian's expression was straight, he didn't expect a broken artifact imitation to be able to decompose so many orange essences, if it was intact, he suddenly had some longing in his heart.

"Hahaha.... Ha ha... Ha ha! ”

When Crabs saw that Modrian had received the Plague Ball, he laughed maniacally, "Noble..... Ha ha.... Damn it... Damn it, you have long forgotten the responsibilities of the nobility! ”

"Uh.... Ahem..... You...!"

The laughter suddenly stopped, and he looked at the Plague Ball with a look of horror as it gradually lost its brilliance, and his intact left hand trembled at Modrian, and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Do you expect it to corrupt me?" Modrian gently raised the glossless, stone-like plague ball in his hand, and with a slight force in his palm, it was directly crushed into dirt and sprinkled to the ground from his fingers.

"Sorry, this artifact replica seems to be a bit rubbish, I accidentally crushed it!"

Shrugging his shoulders slightly, he looked at Crabs mockingly, and said indifferently: "In addition, your acting skills are a little poor and you are not committed enough, I hope you can go to film school for a few years in the next life!" ”
