Claudia was sitting in the car, leaning against the side wall and looking out of the window, the glass of the window reflecting the beautiful side face of the girl.

The convoy had left the Fenris Territory and entered the Thurberchel Territory.

Since that battle, she has stayed around the Fenris Territory for another three days, trying to find news of the family of the samurai who died in the Northern Rift, but unfortunately, the few survivors she met answered that the castle on Fenris Island had been burned down, and the island was full of news of undead creatures, and the probability of a lucky person surviving was extremely slim, plus she really didn't have much time to delay, so after three days of searching, she had no choice but to leave temporarily with an apology to the deceased.

The Seberchel Territory is even more unbearable than the Fenris Domain, the Sean family must be a wealthy family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the cohesion and centripetal force are far from being comparable to the Serberchel family, if it were not for this devastating undead natural disaster, after Jaime's death, the nobles of the Sean family would definitely welcome one of Jaime's cousins back to inherit the title, and then continue to unite around the heir. And Claudia, thinking about the few nobles under her command when she first inherited the title, was big for a while, and it wasn't until she was engaged to Jaime that the group of guys restrained a lot. Thinking about it, if it were in my previous life, I probably wouldn't like a teenage girl standing on top of my head and pointing fingers.

So when she saw the tragic situation of the Fenris Territory, she was already mentally prepared for the general situation of her own territory, after the convoy entered the Serberchel Territory, it was supposed to be the spring plowing season, but a large area of farmland was barren, the village was full of abandoned empty houses and disemboweling corpses, occasionally saw a few active figures, or zombies or ghouls, and I don't know if it was her delusion, I always felt that when I passed through the forest, there were a few pairs of ill-intentioned eyes looking at them in the depths of the Silver Leaf Tree.

Is it a wolf? Claudia wondered. She had once chased after the forest when she was near, and the beast had excellent perception and speed, and each time it left before she could get close.

Soon, in the girl's faint thoughts, a familiar hillside came into her eyes.

"Sister, we're home." Paltris leaned over to Claudia and sat down.

Claudia reached out and hugged her sister: "Well, we'll see Uncle Roddy and his family when we get home." ”

Uncle Roddy was a former subordinate of Claudia's father, who was lame in the last war, and later became the butler of the Serberchel Collar after being taken in by the old baron, and also found a local cook's girl, Mina, as his wife.

Paltris, on the other hand, looked at the town of Seberchel in the distance with a mixture of anticipation and a little fear.

"Sister, what do you think the family will be like now? Before the disaster struck, Uncle Roddy had written to a happy story that Aunt Mina was pregnant again. ”

Claudia was very relieved, she didn't feel too much of the breath of the undead: "It should be fine, we can have a good rest when we go home." ”

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a cast iron gate, which was locked from the outside, and the people of the manor had already left, but fortunately, the sisters had the keys and they were able to enter.

The furnishings in the courtyard of the manor were very well organized, and it was clear that they were not in a hurry before leaving.

The group pushed open the main entrance to the manor hall, where everything was neatly arranged, and Paltris cheered and led Natalie upstairs to her former room, where Claudia led Uncle Rhine's family to the guest room and returned to the hall.

Then, on a table in the corner of the hall, she found something.

A few letters to Paltris were on the table, with a message from Roddy's butler at the top.

Claudia put aside the letter to her sister and opened the message from Roddy's housekeeper to read:

"Miss, by the time you read this letter, I had left the town of Seberchel for the time being.

More and more refugees arrived from the north, saying that the prince had betrayed the kingdom, killed his father, and carried out a massacre in Tirisfa.

At first I thought it was a ridiculous joke, but then more and more monsters began to appear from the north.

With the light above, what happened to Stratholme turned out to be true, and the dead man got up again.

Captain Capet, who had led his troops on a mission, returned with less than half the number of men he had made when he had attacked, and he brought back even more unfortunate news.

It is said that Lord Earl Fenris and Lord Baron had been in trouble during their expedition to the Northern Rift, and when she heard the news, Aisha cried for the whole night.

These damned undead, I curse their souls! How can they? How can they! Obviously, adults are still so young, so beautiful, and so kind this year.

Knight Roderick, Knight Soth, and Ser Hodge left with the nearby villagers, they planned to try their luck in the southern kingdom of Gilneys, and left some letters before leaving, which I had received as they were, but their attitude was really not very respectful.

Not only in the north, but also in the south, new monsters appeared, and there were often wolf howls nearby, and a patrol guard who was relieved in the middle of the night disappeared, and when people found him the next day, there was only a pile of bones left in his body, and after a few days, more and more people disappeared, and someone witnessed a kind of demon wolf walking upright, they were so powerful and agile that it took several warriors to kill one.

I tried to send someone to contact you, but no one wanted to go to the dead-filled north, and the town was so panicked that even the manor was full of talk, and in desperation, Captain Capet wanted to take the survivors to the south with him, so that it would be safer.

I'm sorry, miss, I'm going to leave with them, I wanted to stay here alone and wait for you to come back, but Mina convinced me.

Please be considerate of me, I really can't help it, my little Romon and the soon-to-be-born child can't live without a father.

I'll go to Nanhai Town with Mina for a while, I have a comrade-in-arms who has a hotel there, and business is good, and I'll be waiting for you there.

I'll put everything in order, and hopefully when I return, I'll take the jewels and gold coins from the manor with me, and I swear by my honor that it's just to help you keep it safe, and if you don't hear from you in three months, I'll deposit it in your name in the bank of Stormwind.

May the Light bring this disaster to an end sooner rather than later and allow us to return to our homeland sooner rather than later.

Written by Roddy Shears on March 10. ”

March 10th, just like a week ago, it's fine. After reading the letter, Claudia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She didn't blame Roddy's housekeeper for his decision to give up the manor, she and her sister were not there for the past two years, and the family was still in order thanks to his care.

Claudia could imagine the panicked scene in the town at that time, and then she was a little puzzled, what were those standing and walking demon wolves mentioned in the message? Is this the kind of thing that spied on her on the way back?

In addition, thinking about the letter mentioned in the message, Claudia frowned, picked it up and looked at it, sure enough, it was written by Knight Roderick, Knight Soth, and Sir Hodge to her sister.

Claudia didn't plan to show these letters directly to her sister, and with her knowledge of these nominal subordinates, it was estimated that there would be nothing good to say about them.

Claudia opened Sir Hodge's letter to his sister, and the first letter was fine: first, Sir Hodge expressed his standard aristocratic condolences and deplorment for the deaths of Claudia and Count Fenris, and then the meaning of the letter changed to that with the death of the current baron and the collapse of the royal city of Lordaeron, he was no longer required to fulfill his obligations and responsibilities to the baron. Finally, he will travel to the kingdom of Gilneth to pledge allegiance to the new lord.

The Knight of Thors' letter is similar to Sir Hodge's, but at the end it mentions that he is going to join the Torbain family in Riptide Castle.

The content of the third letter made Claudia's pretty face flush, and in Knight Roderick's letter, in addition to the noble greetings, he also spent a lot of words praising Paltris's peerless appearance and smiling appearance, and expressed how much he missed Paltris, and finally faintly revealed the idea that Paltris would be committed to him after reading the letter.

If this Roderick knight was a young and promising young man, it would be fine, but a playboy who was already in his thirties and often harassed civilian girls in the territory, and this time he dared to hit his sister with his idea. Claudia has already made up her mind that the next time she has the opportunity to meet this Roderick, she must teach the other party a good lesson, and I heard that he also went to Nanhai Town, hum, the blonde girl grinds her teeth.

"Sister, sister!" Paltris, who had changed into a long green dress and a fluffy bunny in her arms, waved happily at Claudia. "What are you looking at, come on, I've found a lot of toys from before I went to the convent."

"Okay, I'll be right here." Claudia agreed, and at the same time hid the letters to her sister, this kind of thing, it is better to destroy it.

Walking around the corner, she saw a portrait of herself, which had been painted with the help of the painter Jaime had hired when he had just taken over the position of baron, the blonde girl in a thick blue velvet cloak standing in the center, several vassals standing on the left and right, the girl was placing the blade of a long sword on the shoulder of Captain Cape, who knelt down on one knee and said the oath of allegiance. Looking at the girl who was much more immature than she is now, but still pretending to be strong, Claudia smiled at the corner of her mouth, and then walked upstairs to the room where she and her sister had been.
