Chapter 844: The Adventure of the Overworld (II)
It was none other than the priest Fina who appeared in front of Fang Zheng's eyes. Her outfit was no different from before, and when she saw Fang Zheng, she also smiled.
"I really didn't expect to meet you here, it's really an adventure........."
"Ahh.........h It's really unthinkable, what are you doing here? ”
"I ..............."
Hearing Fangzheng's inquiry, Fina's expression became a little strange, but just as she was about to say something, she only heard a series of footsteps, and then the man who had beaten the orcs before strode over, he looked at Fina with a smile on his face, and then spoke.
"I'm sorry to frighten you, Miss Fina, are you alright?"
"Ah, I'm fine......... That one......... You really don't have to worry about it. ”
In the face of the man's inquiry, Fina hurriedly took a few steps back like a frightened bird, hid behind Fang Zheng, and then bowed her head respectfully at the man. Seeing Fina's actions, the man's brows furrowed slightly, and then he looked at Fang Zheng and his party.
"They are ........."
"They're my friends, and we've fought side by side together."
This time, before Fang Zheng could speak, Fina hurriedly replied.
"So, I'm sorry, Mr. Corris, I, I've decided to ask them for help!"
"That's right........."
Hearing Fina's answer, the man glanced at Fang Zheng and the others, and then nodded with a smile.
"In that case, then we'll have a date later."
After saying this, the man turned around and left, leaving only Fang Zheng and the others standing there in confusion.
What's going on?
“……… Can you explain? Miss Fina? ”
Although Fang Zheng had already guessed a rough idea, he still turned his head to look at Fina beside him and asked, while Fina nodded a little embarrassedly.
"Of course......... Mr. Fangzheng, please come with me........."
At this moment, since the excitement was over, everyone outside the tavern also dispersed, and Fina also took Fang Zheng and his party to a cubicle on the second floor of the tavern and sat down, and then told the story as it was.
"It came to pass that I passed by a village in this vicinity on my tour the other day, and it turned out that strange diseases and plagues had arisen there........."
"The plague?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng immediately raised his eyebrows.
"What kind of plague?"
"The patient would have a fever at first, then weakness in the limbs, then inability to eat, and then death......... What's more, after death, they transform into undead creatures. In fact, when I went to that town, the whole town was already panicked, and I tried to cure the plague, but to no avail. ”
"Don't the local managers care? What about the church? ”
"The strange place is here."
Facing Fangzheng's inquiry, Fina also frowned.
"At first, I wanted to talk to the village chief and the church administrator to see if there was anything I could do to help. But......... They're all gone. ”
“……… It's gone? ”
"That's right."
Fina nodded.
"The church was empty, and there was no one in the village chief's house, and according to the villagers, it seemed that soon after the plague, they disappeared. As for where it went, no one knows. I wanted to investigate, and I found traces of cultists in the nearby mountains......... I don't know exactly which organization they belong to, but it's certain that there are quite a few of them, and I obviously can't be an enemy of them alone. ”
"So you're going to come here looking for help?"
"Yes, Twilight is the closest to that village, and now almost everyone in that village is so infected with the disease that they can't even get out of bed. I used magic to stabilize their condition temporarily, but if I don't deal with it soon, the situation will be even worse, and I don't have time to ask for help from other temple churches right now, I would have liked to ask the lords of Twilight City for help, but ......... He didn't even want to see me. ”
Saying this, Fina sighed helplessly.
"So I'm going to hire a bunch of mercenaries to help, and that Mr. Corris just now ......... He had intended to invite me to join his mercenary group, but I turned him down because I had to deal with it, and although Mr. Corris seemed to be intending to help me, ........."
"It's okay to be courteous, it's either a traitor or a thief, right?"
In the face of Fang Zheng's words, Fina didn't say much, just nodded embarrassedly. This is also normal, after all, although Fina is not the kind of super beauty who will attract onlookers when she walks on the street, she is also a very beautiful girl, and this kind of thing is probably seen a lot on her parade.
If Fang Zheng didn't come, maybe Fina would think about it a little, but now that Fang Zheng is here, then Fina naturally doesn't need to think about it. Compared to the strange mercenaries with unknown history and suspicious motives, it is obvious that they are still people they know and have fought side by side.
“……… So, can you please help? Mr. Founder? ”
"Of course there is no problem."
In the face of Fina's request, Fang Zheng didn't think about it at all and agreed in one bite. The reason is simple, Twilight City is the "mission trigger location" that Fang Zheng perceives through the prophecy spell, but here Fang Zheng met Fina not long after entering the city......... So all of this is the Gate of the Stone of Destiny, no, it's the guidance of the Prophecy Spell!
Until then, though.........
"How did you recognize me?"
Fang Zheng thinks that although his disguise is not particularly professional, it is not so bad that others can see through it at a glance.
Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Fina turned red this time, only to see her lower her head, and she was silent for a long time before she finally held back a sentence: "My nose is more .........."
"Okay, I got it."
Fang Zheng decisively stopped this topic, he didn't want to ask Fina the geometry of the zodiac, whether it was a dog.........
Now that the goal has been determined, then Fang Zheng and his party naturally don't need to do anything more, and directly go out of the city and into the mountains under the leadership of Fina, and head towards the village. And during this period, Fang Zheng also introduced Crazy San and Hu Tao to Fina, for these two girls, Fei Na is obviously a little curious, the two are close in age, Hu Tao is cheerful and outgoing, and Fei Na is not the kind of person who is difficult to get close to, so soon, the two mixed together and began to talk and laugh.
"This Miss Fina is really interesting."
Walking on the mountain road, looking at Hu Tao and Fina, who were chatting, Kurumi came to Fang Zheng's side, chuckled and said to him in a low voice.
"Isn't she also the target you fancy Mr. Fangzheng?"
"I don't have that in mind."
In the face of Crazy San's ridicule, Fang Zheng waved his hand. Logically speaking, to say that there is pure friendship between men and women, Fang Zheng also doesn't believe it, but maybe it's because the two sides have met several times related to the battle, so that the other party is not so much saying that Fina is the object of his fancy, but that the two sides are more compatible combat partners. After all, Fina is smart and likable, and she doesn't have the stinky problems of her pig teammates at all, and fighting with her doesn't make people feel like they're holding back, which is quite comfortable.
But then again, they are really destined.........
Just as Fang Zheng was talking to Kurumi, the four of them had already walked into the deep mountains and old forests, and at the same time, a thick fog appeared in front of them. Seeing this thick fog, Fina suddenly stopped laughing and became serious.
"This is it, Mr. Founder."
As she spoke, Fina clenched the scepter in her hand.
"Through this thick fog, you will reach the village."
