It's been more than a month since the incident of the strange function building, and nothing unusual has happened in this time, and the terrifying enhancement that can make the dead stand up again seems to have become a legend, and no one except those who have experienced it firsthand will take it seriously.

The civilians gradually dismissed the news as some kind of horror story, and many ill-informed lords regarded it as a failed plot by the Church against the mercenary group, and the only people who kept these things in mind now were those who had lost their relatives and comrades in this incident, including the soldiers of the crusading army, their families, and the soldiers and families of the church.

"If you continue to let your guard down like this! The dead will crawl out of the coffins and cut off your heads with axes! ”

On the streets of the trade zone, a man who had lost his left hand shouted at the crowd and had been standing in the streets since the morning giving his uncanny speeches, as if the resurrected monsters were about to approach the bustling city.

The man's body looked very strong, and despite his vegetable, a discerning person could still tell that this was an experienced fighter, but he had lost his left hand and could no longer pick up a shield, which meant that he could no longer fight.

He was a mercenary who had lived through that battle, but unfortunately his team was spared except for him, he himself was cut off by a skeleton in the battle, he could no longer earn a living with the sword, he was completely bankrupt after paying for his medical expenses, he even sold all his equipment, and the crippled mercenary almost begged all the way to Bologna, and at the same time promoted all the way.

He hated the monsters who had robbed him of his comrades, his home, and his health, and hatred had turned him into an extremely fanatical preacher.

But none of the passers-by paused to listen, they were well informed, they had heard the like several times, and they were no longer interested in the impassioned speeches of the disabled, and in the indifference of the people, the veteran seemed particularly bleak.

At this time, two guards patrolling the trade zone came towards the man, and they wanted to drive away this guy who was affecting the order of the trade zone, and this alarmist homeless man on the street had already aroused the disgust of many people, and they reported him.

The veteran, already in a state of agitation, did not notice the approach of trouble, and he continued to scream until he heard a soft voice.

"Uncle...... Are you here to tell a story? He noticed that a little girl with black hair had come to him at some point, and the only listener he had attracted in a few days was staring at him intently, and there was not a trace of impurity in her eyes.

"No, I'm not telling a story, these things are true...... Those resurrected monsters are real. ”

The veteran replied.

"They don't get tired, they're patient, and they can attack suddenly from day to night, so each camp has a dedicated staff to keep vigil, because prolonged vigilance can make even the bravest warrior go berserk."

Perhaps it was because he was tired from the long roar, or perhaps he was infected by the strange temperament of the child, the veteran's original excitement gradually calmed down, and he calmly described the dead monster to the curious little fellow.

"I know what you said is true, uncle, because I've seen the kind of monster my uncle said!"

The listening child gestured as if she had ever seen such a terrible monster, if the square-faced skeletons and zombies in the game counted.

"Really? You're such an unlucky little guy, and it's not a good thing to run into monsters. ”

The veteran's expression was very disapproving, just as the passers-by did with his speech, and he took Dongdong's words as childish nonsense.

Two complete strangers, one big and one small, chatted without hindrance, but it made it difficult for the guards who came to drive people away, this guy who disturbed the order of the city was quiet and was still chatting with a child very kindly, such a person to catch up or not?

"Forget it! This guy is a cripple, it seems that he used to be a warrior, and he must be sad in normal times, so let him go this time. ”

The two guards, who were moved by compassion, turned around and went to patrol other places, while Dongdong was chatting happily with his uncle.

"Hmmm! That young man is really an incredible martial artist, one person and one sword can repel all the enemies like a tide, it is really strong! ”

Now the disabled mercenary is telling Dongdong about the posture of the warrior who turned the tide, and Dongdong listens to it with relish, and through the description of this uncle, the little guy seems to be able to find a very familiar figure in it. It made her happy.

"That's it! It's time for the good boys to come home. ”

When the veteran finished speaking, he realized that it was not too early.

"Huh?! It's time to go home! ”

Dong Dong also woke up suddenly.

"Uncle...... Will you come here again tomorrow to tell a story? ”

Dongdong liked to listen to this kind of familiar story, but the storyteller shook his head with a wry smile and replied.

"Kid, I can't tell stories here every day, tomorrow I might get a job as a porter on the docks, and we'll meet again if your house is nearby."

Although the audience is just a child who doesn't understand anything, it makes this disabled person pour out the things in his heart, and the next thing he needs to face is a real problem, and he must live.

"I come here every day! Because I have to work at Sister Xuexue's point every day! ”

Dongdong said that she had the opportunity to come here to listen to her uncle's story, but she soon became a little lost.

"But I can't work for a few days. Because of Sister Xuexue, she is sick......"

Ye Jianxue has a very good physical foundation because she received martial arts training when she was a child, and she hardly gets sick except for the old problem of sometimes backache, but today, Xue Xue fell ill very suddenly, and the illness was not light.

She was replaced by a weak disease, as a doctor, Dong Dong did not diagnose what the disease was for a while, but the little guy judged that this disease did not seem to be dangerous.

When her family fell ill and the dim sum shop couldn't open, Melly went back to the manor while Dongdong wandered the streets, then caught up in the impassioned story......

Dong Dong, who was about to go to the manor, was stopped by a panicked figure before he left the trade area.

The person who stopped her was a little boy who had bought two jars of medicine from the little guy with pebbles, and he often came over with his friends to 'help with the leftover dim sum' - in fact, Sister Xue Xue specializes in making more of them.

Dongdong knew him, she remembered that the child's name was 'Alonthos', and she didn't know what he was doing when he came to her in such a panic?

"Knock...... Knock knock! Hurry up and see Sister Xuexue! ”

Alonthos seemed to have run all the way, and his words were a little out of breath.

"Sister Xuexue, she ...... Suddenly fainted! ”

In such an emergency, it is right to call an adult, but this boy thinks that it is more reliable to call Dong Dong, who knows medical skills, than to call an adult.

Hearing this, Dong Dong hurriedly ran to the house where Ye Jianxue and Alonthos did, but fortunately her house was relatively close.

"How so? When I went back during the day today, Sister Xuexue's condition was still normal, why did she weaken so much all of a sudden? ”

After a hasty diagnosis, the little guy who came here found that Yamiyuki's physical condition, which was originally only a little tired, suddenly turned into a very serious weakness, which made her shocked.

"How? Knock knock? Is Sister Xuexue's condition serious? ”

Alonthos, a complete layman, asked anxiously, as there were several children around him who were often cared for by the night snow.

Everyone's face was full of worry and anxiety.

"How could it be...... So what? Could it be that Sister Xue Xue has some acute illness? But what didn't happen before? ”

Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through Dongdong's head, and after she checked the already unconscious Yamiyuki again, this idea was confirmed by herself.

"Sister Xuexue...... She...... I'm afraid I'm infected with the plague. ”

Dong Dong said to his friends with a dazed expression.

"A dangerous plague."
