Angela and the others arrive first at Blackwood Castle, the closest castle to Mount White Tooth and the barony of Alice and Aix's father.

However, after a catastrophe, even after half a year, he has not yet recovered.

Blackwood Fort was originally sparsely populated, but now it looks like there are even fewer of them.

The cold wind blew, and the abandoned farmland was set up with broken scarecrows, and crows landed on them, making a desolate cry.

Occasionally, they met two peasant uncles shivering in sackcloth, and when they saw Angela and his party, they hurriedly retreated to both sides of the road and bent down to salute.

Angela was unimpressed by the desolation of Blackwood Fort.

I've seen this kind of scenery in the game, but it's the first time I've seen it in reality, so I looked around with interest.

Seeing Angela's interest, Jeromy hurriedly introduced: "This is Blackwood Castle, which belongs to Baron Aix, but Baron Aix is too young and this place is too desolate, so it is currently in charge of Sir Colter." ”

For this mission, Jeromy's intelligence work is still quite sufficient, at least he knows that Angela and the two little guys still have a certain friendship.

"Oh, is this the home of the two little ones?"

"Uh... Yes, so to speak. ”

Angela looked at the castle in front of her and exclaimed, "It's so nice, it's much bigger than my home." ”

When they arrived at the gate of the castle, they saw a man with several guards coming up.

The man had curly red hair, somewhat cloudy green eyes, a neatly trimmed mustache on his lips, a modest appearance, a somewhat thin body, and not very tall, even a head shorter than Angela.

Angela's height is set at a little over five and a half feet, which is considered ordinary in a group of players, but in this world it is definitely the tall wave of women.

At the moment, he was wearing a blue dress with a white lion coat of arms embroidered on it, and because it was cold, he was wearing a little too much, so he looked a little bloated.

Although his image is not good, his expression is serious, and he looks at each other whether he stands or walks, which has a unique momentum.

Angela and the group dismounted, and Jeromy introduced to the two: "This is Lord Angela Witch, and this is Sir Colt." ”

Angela bowed slightly: "Hello, Lord Colt." ”

Sir Colt was slightly stunned, whether it was a lady's ceremony or a kiss ceremony, Angela did not use it.

However, he reacted quickly, waved his hand sideways, and made a gesture of please: "Miss Angela, you have worked hard all the way, welcome to Blackwood Castle." ”

It soon got dark, and it was time for dinner.

Angela was led by the servants to the dining room, which was lit up by candles on top of the brass chandelier in the center of the restaurant.

Unfortunately, one chandelier didn't seem to be enough, and the whole dining room still looked a little dim, so I had to put some candlesticks on the table.

The food was already laid out on the table, fragrant white bread, steaming broth, a sausage, and a few vegetables.

Angela took her seat, and Sir Colt, as host, announced the start of the formal meal.

Angela picked up her knife and fork and began to taste the sausage.

The first time she ate this food, she felt that the taste of the sausage was very unique, and it seemed to condense the flavor of the meat together.

After eating the bread and drinking the soup, the maids put away their plates and set some small pastries and a glass of wine.

"I'm sorry, Miss Angela, it's a deserted place, so it's very poorly prepared."

Sir Colt opened the conversation and began to make small talk.

Soon, Jeromy joined the conversation and began to talk about gossip among various nobles.

Angela listened with interest, when suddenly her ears moved, and then interrupted: "Sorry, did you hear anything?" ”

Jeromy looked puzzled: "No! ”

Angela said: "I heard, it was a crazy roar. ”

"Oh, you mean the screams of those beasts outside?"

Angela straightened up and said solemnly, "No, it's human, I'm pretty sure, it's right down here." ”

Sir Colt said, "Miss Angela is talking about the dungeon, there is such a thing, and every night she screams madly. ”

Angela asked, "Can you talk about it?" ”

Sir Colt nodded and said, "Just the day before yesterday, a peasant woman suddenly went mad, and did not know what was going on, and began to frantically bite at things around her, and she bit a chicken to death, and was later caught by some of her neighbours, and I suspect that she has been entangled in something bad, and was about to ask the monks of the abbey to come and have a look." ”

Jeromy exclaimed, "What, it's all here." ”

Sir Colt was keenly aware of something, and hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, what do you mean?" ”

Angela also looked at Geromy, waiting for his answer.

"I don't know, maybe it's the plague, or maybe it's a curse, but one by one they're going crazy, and more and more."

Sir Colt hurriedly asked, "Have you invited the monk?" ”

Jeromy said, "Please, but their cure is to burn the sick, and they are babbling that the devil is coming, hell, there are so many devils." ”

Angela looked at Jeromy and said, "That's what you're really asking me for." ”

Jeromy nodded: "I'm sorry, Miss Angela, this kind of thing is so weird, we suspect that there is something behind this, maybe a wizard, or something, in short, it's not usual, you're a powerful witch, maybe you can solve this problem." ”

Angela sighed: "In just half a year, James has gone from a powerful warrior to a qualified politician." ”

Jeromy stood up and bowed, "I'm really sorry. ”

Angela shook her head indifferently, stood up and looked at Sir Colt, "Can I go and see?" ”

Sir Colt hurriedly said, "Thank you Miss Angela. ”

In Sir Colt's opinion, the monks in the abbey were no different from wizards, they all possessed extraordinary powers and were chattering, but the monks were not as crazy as wizards, and they were better to deal with.

Everyone stepped up the stairs to the dungeon with torches, and a stench hit them, feeling like they were in a pigsty, and Angela couldn't help but cover her nose.

There were four wooden cells in the dungeon, the other three were empty, and in one of them, an old woman was opening her mouth to show a mouthful of rotten teeth, and she was frantically pounced on Angela and them, and her mouth was screaming like a beast.

It's just that her hands and feet are chained, and the other end is firmly nailed to the wall, causing her to fail again and again.

Angela looked at it and said, "Open the cell." ”

The Dungeon Guard looked at Sir Cort, who nodded, and the Dungeon Guard pulled out the key and opened the cell door.

Angela walked in, and the old woman immediately rushed towards Angela, but unfortunately she was chained, and when she reached Angela, she couldn't move an inch.

He opened his mouth and roared at Angela, and a foul smell erupted from his mouth.

Angela frowned, her fingertips flashing.

With the blessing of [Quick Cast], 4.5 seconds later, the [Electric Claw] was successfully activated, and Angela pointed at the old woman's forehead.

There was only a "click", and the cacophony stopped, and the old woman flew upside down, slammed against the wall, emitting green smoke, and fell black into the straw and convulsed.

Angela stepped forward, rolled her eyelids, and pinched her mouth open.
