The expression on Sivalka's face was like his voice.

Panic and fear.

In fact, it's not just Sivalka.

Inside the tent, it's like pressing the player's pause button at the moment.

All the witchers froze for a moment.

'Black Plague'!

The witchers present have all experienced the Black Plague.

Although the plague did not really take their lives because of their great strength, they had seen too many examples of being robbed of their lives by the plague.

No one wants to go through that again.

Soon, however, these battle-hardened witchers came back to their senses.

They looked at Qin Ran.

The only one who was able to remain indifferent just now was Qin Ran.

It seems that everything was expected by the councillor, although in a sense, it was true.

But no one can guess this fact.

"Chekawan, North, is it the Temple of War now?"

Qin Ran whispered to himself.

Suddenly, the hearts of those present sank.

They all thought of something.

Oh, yes!

What a coincidence!

The Chekawan disappeared from the map after the Southern Councillors of the Silent Night Secret Order discovered the clues, and the Demon Hunters found the constructs in the north, followed by the plague of the Temple of War.

It may not be much on its own.

Can it be put together now......

"Is it Him?"

Edson asked in a deep voice.

"Hmm."

"Quite possibly."

Qin Ran didn't give an accurate answer, he looked at the frightened Sivalka, and said, "Calm down, Sivalka, tell me everything you know." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Sivalka took a deep breath and nodded.

……

With the camp gradually getting back on track, Sivalka's burden was much lighter.

He had more time to spend with Elle.

Of course, more importantly, with the easing of relations with the 'Temple of War', he was able to get back his 'property'.

This is undoubtedly good news!

Although he didn't care about the five or six hundred Kimpton Sivalka before, when he wanted to raise his daughter, Sivalka was extremely hungry for money.

Of course, as a 'father', he can't do anything that disappoints his 'daughter'.

Therefore, some of the evil ways when they were mercenaries are not usable.

And this stumped Sivalka.

He hopes that Elle will have a good childhood.

Even in the 'Mist' church, at least candy, little dresses, dolls, etc., other people's daughters have, he has to get them for Ellie.

This is not a small expense.

Especially when he sought to be as good as he could, this small expense quickly became an expense that ordinary people could not afford.

So, when he received the news from the young knight, Sivalka was very pleased.

As for the traps?

If there is no alliance, perhaps.

But once the alliance was formed, Sivalka didn't think that the 'Temple of War' would tear up the alliance for a small person like him.

Near the business district of Etaninburg, Sivalka met the young knight Gino.

Dressed in bright armor, with a gentle, sunny smile on his face, he couldn't see the previous depression at all, and the aura on his body was faintly stronger.

It can be seen that after the previous events, this young man's status in the 'Temple of War' has changed drastically.

"Hey, Gino."

Sivalka waved his arms and took the initiative to say hello.

Sivalka, who was born as a mercenary, is not reserved, and may be able to restrain himself when he is in the 'Temple of the God of War'.

And now?

As long as he is not in front of Elle or when he is on duty, he is always used to doing things with the most relaxed and comfortable attitude

"Sialwalka, are you in a good mood?"

The young rider first saluted with a glance, and then asked with a smile.

"Of course."

"I'm about to get an extra income."

"I can buy little dresses and dolls for Ellie."

Sivalka didn't hide it from Ellie.

Even, most of the time, when he said 'Ellie', Sivalka came with a kind of ostentatious gesture, and then, he began to look at the person he was showing off.

How so?

After raising a little cabbage, he is afraid that the pig will arch, but he is also afraid that there will be no pig arch, which is a very complicated old father mentality.

"I can't help you with that."

"I'm not familiar with small dresses and dolls."

"If it's a sword or armor......"

"No!"

"Our Ellie is a lady!"

"A lady in the true sense of the word, not a reckless man who dances with a sword and a sword!"

The young man's words were interrupted by Sivarka before he could finish his words, and he said very seriously.

As a mercenary, he knew too well what would happen to those ladies who wielded swords and wielded swords.

Except for a few few, most of them didn't end well.

In case there is a missing arm or leg, and there is another scar on the face......

Sivalka immediately shook his head, shaking the horrific image out of his mind.

He was adamant not to allow Elle to follow his old path.

Bang!

Far away in the 'mist' camp of the Lower Seventh Ring, Elle gently placed the grinding disc raised above her head on the ground, and the slight muffled sound did not attract anyone's attention.

Then, Ellie looked at Tandeck, pumping her biceps.

"Am I amazing?"

The tone was like that of a show-off child.

In fact, too, children.

Tandecker too, even though he's slowly recovering, he's still a kid.

"Awesome, awesome."

"Ellie has to eat more, eat more to be strong!"

"Muscle is power!"

The former 'behemoth' Tandeck lowered his head and looked at Ellie, who had just reached his knees, and always felt that Ellie was still too thin, too short, at least to grow to his height, and he had to be as strong as him.

"Hmm!"

Ellie nodded earnestly.

Then, lifting the millstone again, she began to breathe in the breathing pattern that Tandecker had taught her.

Tandeck looked at Ellie, who was working hard, thought about it, and decided to help Ellie.

The power in the body begins to gather.

Sticking out an index finger, Tandeck carefully tapped it on Ellie's forehead.

Roar!

A beastly roar rang out in Ellie's ears.

It seemed that a giant had appeared in front of her.

A giant with a hundred arms.

Ellie's eyes flickered as she stared blankly at the giant.

The giant looked down at Ellie as if she were floating, and then cracked his mouth and smiled.

Suddenly, the fierce and mighty hundred-armed giant became honest.

It's like a simple farmer.

Can......

It's too tall.

The hundred-armed giant obviously wanted to say something, but looking at little Ellie, he didn't know what to say at all, and finally, after scratching his head, he said this.

"Remember my name, Darlan."

The sound was like thunder.

Ellie's ears were buzzing.

"I'm sorry."

"It's been a long time since anyone has chosen my legacy."

"Moreover, it is the first time I have met a girl who chooses my inheritance."

Looking at the crumbling Ellie, the hundred-armed giant was embarrassed, and immediately changed the way he spoke.

Voices began to appear in the back of Ellie's heart.

"Mr. Darlan?"

Elle tentatively called the hundred-armed giant.

"Yes, Ellie."

"Don't be surprised, you have accepted my inheritance, and I will naturally be able to know your name."

"Alright, I need to leave."

"You can come to me when your name is sung under the stars—just chant my name."

With that, the hundred-armed giant disappeared.

Ellie's eyes returned to normal.

"See, see?"

Tandeck asked anxiously.

"See."

Ellie nodded.

Immediately Tandeck laughed.

"The strength of the cyclops is the ...... I aspire to"

One-eyed?

Isn't it a hundred arms?

Besides, that giant has two eyes, huh?

Ellie was stunned.

However, looking at Tandeck, who was in high spirits, Ellie did not speak.

She knew that Tandecker was a patient and needed to be happy.

I'll tell him when he's cured!

Ellie thought.

Then, she couldn't help but be drawn to the knowledge in her head.

It's a secret technique called 'Chariot'.

……

Hiss!

A sudden palpitation made Sivalka gasp.

At this moment, he always felt that something bad had happened.

But there is no substantial evidence.

"Maybe ......"

"Am I too tired lately?"

Sivalka comforted himself and continued to follow the young knight along the gravel path in front of the cathedral.

The cathedral of the Temple of the God of War can already be clearly seen here.

His brow furrowed when he saw the groups of members of the Temple of War coming in and out.

As a former deacon, Sivalka was all too familiar with the place.

Therefore, the slightest change could not be hidden from him.

For example, in front of the cathedral of the Temple of the God of War, although it will not be deliberately quiet, it will definitely not become such a busy scene that is about to evolve into a vegetable market.

"What happened?"

Sivalka looked at the young knight.

The young knight was also at a loss.

"Everything was fine when I left."

As he spoke, the young knight walked over to one of the deacons who was guarding the intersection.

"Stop!"

"Knight Gino, please stop!"

Before he could get closer, the deacon shouted.

"What's wrong?"

The young knight looked at the deacon in bewilderment.

"Yes......"

Pestilence!

The word 'plague' was a gesture of mouth, and without saying a word, the deacon continued: "This place is completely closed, and no one is allowed to leave. ”

Pestilence?!

Hearing this word, Sivalka, who was quite impressed by the 'Black Plague', retreated again and again.

The young knight froze in place.

"I want to see His Excellency the Privy Council."

After a pause of a few seconds, the young knight said.

"Your Excellency is dealing with something more dangerous, and there's no way to see you."

"And, my lord said it."

"Any departing members of the Temple of the God of War are not allowed to return to the Cathedral for the time being, including you."

The deacon patiently explained.

Gino's name had already entered the field of vision of the upper echelons of the Temple of War, and the subsequent news of the 'baptism' confirmed that the young man in front of him was destined to become a bishop-level figure.

Therefore, the necessary reverence is a must.

"How's it going?"

Gino asked.

"I don't know!"

"We're just in charge of the periphery!"

The deacon replied.

"Is that so?"

The young knight turned to Sivalka: "I'm sorry, we're going to miss the contract this time, and if you survive this crisis, I'll double the amount of compensation you make." ”

After saying that, the young knight didn't wait for Sivalka to answer, and just slammed straight into the isolation range.

Neither Sivalka nor the deacon reacted.

By the time the latter reacted, it was too late.

Gino had already entered the confines of the cathedral.

"This, this ......"

The deacon looked at the back in a daze.

At this time, he suddenly understood why this young man was valued by the Privy Council.

With a slight bow, the deacon turned to look at Sivalka.

"Your Excellency, please return."

The other party raised his hand.

Sivalka didn't mean to stay long, turned around and left.

And, on the way back, he began to buy lime.

As far back as he remembered, lime had a considerable effect on suppressing the plague.

And then what's left?

Clean water.

Flame.

And......

Isolated!

What if we can't do it?

No, it won't.

Absolutely not.

With all sorts of thoughts in his head, Sivalka ran back to the 'Mist' church camp in such a panic.

Listening to Sivalka's words, the witchers in the tent frowned.

"Inform Rogett that the camp is temporarily closed."

"The food should be scrutinized."

"And ......"

"I'd like to meet Councillor Gersack."

Qin Ran said this, his eyes looked outside the tent.

Holeika, who had been waiting for a long time, disappeared into the shadows with a nod.

There are no impermeable walls in the world.

Soon the news of the plague in the 'Temple of War' spread in the camp, and everyone became frightened birds, even when they were working.

The fear of the 'Black Plague' is unforgettable for everyone.

And at such times, what could be more suitable for comforting than the gods?

Unconsciously, the people in the camp began to pray after they were busy.

Far more reverent than before.

Night fell again.

The sound of prayers filled the camp.

The royal guards guarding the gate of the camp unconsciously joined in.

This attracted the curious attention of the people around him.

Curiosity can kill cats.

When someone who had a good relationship with the guards found out the exact news, the news of the plague began to spread at a rate of ten, hundred, and thousand.

Before sunrise, the whole of Etaninburgh became terrified.

And after sunrise, when thick black smoke continued to be heard from the direction of the Temple of the Mars Cathedral, the panic reached a limit.

What does black smoke represent?

Nowhere is this clearer than for those who are older than Etandine.

It was the flames of burning corpses!

Why is there no final Mass and the bodies are burned continuously?

The answer is self-explanatory.

The plague has struck again.

The message is true!

Not a rumor!

Rumble!

The whole of Etaninburg is like a fried pot.

Everyone rushed towards the temple of the 'Lady of Calamity' hidden in the corner.

Even on weekdays, they are avoided.

but

Does it really work?
