"Wow! Brother Wu has become a T nobleman! ”

Xiao Luo recommended the joy around the sycamore, and the sycamore himself was also very excited to wear the noble badge given to him by the royal ceremonial officer on his chest, which was a special gold badge, shaped like his "flame seven-leaf sycamore" emblem.

This pattern is his unique identity, and it will also be the shape of the noble family crest after he creates the territory in the future, without any special attributes, but wearing this badge can enjoy many privileges and benefits, such as tax exemption, passage and so on.

Even if you commit a crime, you don't have to bear the responsibility for the crime, but only need to pay the ransom, and the nobility of the Duchy of Adele is recognized within the scope of the five human countries, although you can't enjoy the same treatment in Ander in other countries, but you can get the corresponding courtesy.

In addition, wearing this badge, when facing the aborigines, it has an innate rank advantage, which will allow the sycamore to get a lot of benefits when dealing with the aborigines, as for the ability to recruit aboriginal subordinates, servants, servants, maids or something, it is not enough.

"Congratulations! Lord Baron! Lingyue Frost Snow also joked playfully.

Wutong smiled, thanked the royal ceremonial officer, and then left the Anle Palace, before leaving, the royal ceremonial officer also kindly reminded Wutong that after the situation in the principality is stable, he will come to Anle Palace again, the royal family will arrange another formal award ceremony, and he will also be qualified to meet the queen.

Although Sycamore doesn't have much interest in meeting an aboriginal queen, he has to abide by the rules of the game in the game, so naturally he won't say anything rebellious, but just say that he knows.

With the benefits of being a nobleman, when they left the palace, the knights along the road saluted him, and Wutong also used the noble salute that was different from the mage ceremony one by one, and when he left the Anle Palace, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his head and complained: "The nobleman is more tired than the mage!" １，

"Haha!"

Lingyue Shuangxue smiled: "BOSS, you are showing off nakedly!" Others think that nobles can't be been, right? You're not a PS and other aristocratic I, but a noble thief! If you are an ordinary player, I am afraid that it is impossible to obtain this and advanced status until the middle of the game! ”

"The quasi-high-ranking nobles are still one order away from the real high-ranking nobles, and if there is no special opportunity, this level is estimated to not be able to rise!" Wutong was "reluctantly" modest.

"Where are we going now? Will Forest? Lingyue Frost Snow smiled.

"Uh, let's go to the headquarters of the Knights of the Chalk Practitioners!" Wutong remembered the old mage's words and asked him to help the Knights of the Chalk Magician, he felt that this should be a task, so he planned to go and see, the chalk nine is not far from ten, it should be related to the thin plague.

The headquarters of the Knights of the Chalk Practitioners is also in the inner city of Antian, and when they appeared at the headquarters of the Knights, they attracted the attention of the head of the Knights of the Knights of the Chalk Practitioners, and met with them in person.

"Your Excellency, do you mean that you have been commissioned by Archmage Zemmour to assist us in our investigation of the plague?"

The head of the knight looked at Wutong with some surprise, and looked at the two priest girls beside Wutong, his eyes showed a hint of surprise, the young mage nobleman in front of him, and the two female priests, the aura exuded by him was a little surprised, this is not a powerful aura that their young people of this age can have.

"Alright! In that case""

The Knight Commander took out some files and placed them in front of Wutong and them: "Although I don't think these files can show any clues, but this is all the content related to this addiction that we have collected as much as we can. If you find something or need help, please feel free to ask me and I will arrange someone to cooperate with you. ”

Sycamore nodded, looked through the dossier, and the knight leader recruited a chalk knight captain, accompanied by Sycamore, ordered the knight captain to fully cooperate with Sycamore's actions, and then said goodbye to Sycamore and left in a hurry, now Fairhaven City is in chaos, there are too many things that need him to bite, the head of the chalk knight order to deal with.

The contents of the dossier are nothing more than a detailed report on the addiction and thinness, when and where the person who was infected with the addiction and weight loss was found and the like, Wutong flipped through it and found that although the report on the addiction epidemic recorded in these files did not seem to have any clues and onset patterns, it was completely disorderly and random, but the first few files showed that the area where the plague was first discovered was the slum near the cemetery. …,

This made Wutong look up with a little weakness and glanced at the chalk knight captain who was wearing heavy armor and standing on the side with an expressionless face, as if sensing Wutong's sight, and the old-fashioned knight captain bowed slightly expressionlessly: "What are your orders?" Your Excellency, Master? １，。

Different from the politeness of the head of the chalk knight, the attitude of this knight captain seems a little stiff, but Wutong probably knows what is going on, compared with the knight nobles who have really accumulated battle merits on the battlefield and risen to the top, the knights usually don't have much affection for the mages who can obtain the status of nobility without doing anything, and everyone is completely recommended by two levels.

"Nothing for the time being"

Wutong shook his head and smiled: "I just noticed some minor problems"

"For example?" The captain of the knights clearly didn't believe that Sycamore had only a few glances and had figured out what was wrong.

"The first place where the addiction appeared seemed to be the slum near the cemetery

Wutong didn't bother to make trouble with an aborigine, and briefly recounted: "The source of the epidemic comes from the cemetery? ”

"Apparently." The Captain of the Knight was expressionless.

"Ghouls?" Wutong asked tentatively, and the knight captain nodded, this is not a secret at the top.

"I wonder, how?"

These things have been put on the bright side, there is nothing to do much research, there are many temples in it, ghouls, "little monsters", in Fairhaven City, can't set off much storm, the problem now is that the plague can't be cleared, Wutong doesn't believe it, there are so many spellcasters and clergy who exist, they can't do anything to clear the plague, ghouls are hot and thin is terrible to say, but in this world, it is not a hopeless terminal disease.

That's why something so serious happened, but the people of Fairhaven were fairly stable.

"Clean up the cemetery, move the graves and bones, clean up the ghouls." The captain of the knights said word by word.

After the outbreak of the plague, the root cause was quickly found, so all the cemeteries in Fairhaven City were all relocated outside the city, all the bones were also transferred, and all the addiction areas were completely purified by the temple.

In the general direction, this is indeed a way to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and remove the source of thinness from the root, but now it has appeared, in the absence of a source of skinny, there is still an outbreak of plague, and even in the case of martial law in the whole city, it is determined that there are no ghouls still hidden in the city, and it is still impossible to prevent the emergence of addiction and thinness, and in many places there is even a second-degree infection and a third-degree infection.

Wutong scratched his head, he didn't have a clue, he didn't think that a group of great priests, high priests, and high-level mages couldn't do it, he could solve it as a first-order small mage.

"Okay." ，

Wutong stood up helplessly and handed the file to the knight captain: "If I find anything, I will inform you." ”

The captain of the chalk knight took the file, nodded with a bad attitude, and turned away expressionlessly, and Wutong naturally left the headquarters of the chalk knight order.

"I hate this and puzzle quests! 1, the cheerful female pastor muttered.

"I don't like it either!" Wutong was a little worried, and scratched his head: "Let's go, let's go to the cemetery." ”

Lingyue Frost and Snow was stunned for a moment, and reacted that Wutong was talking about the cemetery where they sent the peas and the corpses of the warriors after they returned from the Weeping Wilderness, although I don't know if this matter is directly related to them, but I just saw from the file that the cemetery they went to was the first source of the plague, and Wutong couldn't help but suspect that it was very likely that they brought the ghoul Hot Thin back to Fairhaven City.

At that time, Pea they were severely infected with 1 Ghoul Fever I, and after coming back, they were already seriously ill, at that time, Wutong was not very clear, what would happen to people infected by Ghoul Heat and Thinness, but now he is "well-read", and his knowledge is much more profound than at that time!

A person who has been bitten by a ghoul, after being infected with 1 ghoul hot and thin, after death, if the body is not eaten by the ghoul, there will be a certain number of tiny cao who will be assimilated into ghouls and resurrected!

This is the same as the ghoul, known as the "ghoul derivation", also known as the "ghoul sub-breeding", is the ghoul alternative, "breeding, out of the offspring!" ..., Wutong and they at that time, but they threw the bowl beans that had not yet "died" directly in the morgue of the cemetery, if one of the peas and those warriors encountered that small chance, and thus transformed, "ghoul derivation", it is very good that the well is the source of this plague! In retrospect, the Peas were resurrected from the temple a little too quickly, and they had just thrown them into the cemetery before they died, and over there, the Peas had already arrived at the secret shop before them, which was obviously a bit unreasonable.

Even if the corpse is collected, the death punishment time of Daomei Wandou is short, and it is impossible to say that they can be resurrected within a few minutes, and the death punishment state is eliminated, the only possibility is that in fact, Wandou and they have died at that time and are transforming into ghouls, and they brought back the peas in the state as "severe infection".

The thought of this "Sycamore sweats profusely, they have been with a few corpses for a night!" Don't let the peas roll over and grab him and bite him! This is the game version of Resident Evil!

The cemetery of that day has been completely demolished and leveled, the tall morgues have been demolished, the wide cemetery has been dug up with holes, and the bones of the old corpses have been dug out and transported out of the newly opened cemetery outside the city for reburial.

Even the grave soil all over the ground has been thoroughly purified by the priests who have splashed a large amount of holy water, and they don't feel gloomy and dark at all, but feel that the abundant holy power is shrouded here, and the ghouls who like to hide in the tomb soil and coffins will not like this place anymore.

After a few turns around the cemetery, this place has been completely destroyed, and there are no clues to be found, so Wutong has to leave here with Xiaoxiao and Lingyue Frost and Snow, and go to the slum not far away to see if there will be any finds.

No matter what city it is, and no matter how good the national conditions are, the poor always occupy a large part of the population, let alone the chalk family in the context of the Middle Ages, so even in a non-war country like Andele, which is prosperous in agriculture, there is also a slum in a capital like Fairhieu.

These low-shack areas made of wood did not even look neat as the goblin tribes of the Will Forest, and a large number of yellow-skinned, withered-looking, and glazed-eyed paupers gathered here, wandering like walking corpses from time to time.

This is the poorest place in Fairhaven, and it is also the worst place in Fairhaven, thieves, criminals, evil organizations, use this place as a stronghold and the old nest of the sycamore, when they get close to here, from time to time there are aboriginal poor children running over to their thin little hands to ask for coins, and some idlers sitting on the side of the road look at them with ill-intentioned eyes from time to time.

Although it was just a game, such a scene made Wutong and Lingyue Shuangxue couldn't help frowning and covering their noses, and the kind-hearted little Luo Fei looked at those aborigines and poor children with sympathetic eyes, and took out snacks and candy from their pockets from time to time to distribute them to them.

"And voila! A young aristocratic lord, and two beautiful priests, Sister Xiaolu! ”

A shrill-looking monkey-looking guy approached them with a strange smile: "Are you here to investigate the skinny?" Oh! Be merciful! Recently, a lot of benevolent lords have come here to inquire about the situation!? When did rich men become so kind-hearted? ”

He flapped his wings and smiled strangely without fear at all: "Should I call you Master Mage or Master Baron?" Well, it doesn't matter, wonder about the situation with the plague? One silver coin! Give me a silver coin, and I'll tell you all!" ”

"The unbeliever, this is a unbeliever!"

Lingyue Frost Snow frowned and took a step back away from this crisp, dirty, sloppy fellow, and lowered her voice to remind Sycamore that in the priest's dogma, the unbelievers are untrustworthy liars and degenerates, because without faith, their hearts are only filled with darkness, hatred, and jealousy.

"Yes, beautiful little sister Muhuai, I am an unbeliever, because God has no mercy on me, and has made me poor, hungry, sick, and lowly, and you are going to put me in the wall of the unbelievers?"

The poor man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks smiled and was not afraid of the aristocratic Wutong and the priest Lingyue Shuangxue in front of him: "You give me money, I will tell you the information, it's very reasonable and fair, isn't it?" Wutong has no prejudice against the unbeliever, because basically Fahuai is also a non-believer, took out a silver coin and threw it to him, Wutong asked, "I want to know, there is something about ghouls." ”

"Oh! Ghoul! I've seen it, as skinny, as dirty and ugly as me, but the few ghouls that have appeared here have been killed by the knights! Because they bit several people to death. ”，

The sharp-billed monkey rubbed the silver coin in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket with satisfaction: "I think they should be hungry." ”

"That's all?" Sycamore wondered.

"Yes! That's it! The sharp-billed monkey cheek monster laughed a few times: "What else do you want to know?" There is another question that will be charged separately! Or a silver coin! ”

Wutong frowned, and directly took out a gold coin and threw it to him: "Tell me everything you know, about skinny and ghouls."

"Oooo How generous you are! The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks smiled and stuffed the gold coin into his mouth, and bit it with his black rotten teeth, which made the sycamore chill for a while.

As the monkey gills recounted, Sycamore was disappointed that he had not been able to get anything useful.

"That's it. Want to know anything else? The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks smiled and said, "Since you are a regular customer, I can give you half the price!" ”

Shaking his head in disappointment, Wutong planned to leave with Lingyue Frost Snow with a smile, it seems that there is no information to be found here.

"Oh! I'll see you in."

Suddenly, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks stared at Sycamore's chest and suddenly screamed, but soon he closed his mouth again, and Sycamore turned his head: "What? ”

"Nothing" he looked at the sky again, and then "Ding! With a bang, he quickly grabbed a flying gold coin.

"Ding, Emblem!" He flicked the gold coin in his hand and pointed to Sycamore's chest: "I've seen this emblem on the chest of a ghoul!" ”

Wutong looked down and saw the emblem of the adventure group of the Blade Secret Law Regiment!

"Yes! That's it! Those big ghouls who were killed by the knight lord have this emblem on their chests! The sharp-billed monkey grinned, "Are they your pets?" ”

Wutong and Lingyue Frost and Snow looked at each other, and there was the emblem of the adventure group, which proved that it was indeed a bowl of beans!

"Wait!" Wutong seized a loophole: "You mean the ghouls that have been dropped are all big guys?" ”

"Yes! Your Excellency, Master! ”

Maybe it's the relationship between the two gold coins, and the sharp-billed monkey cheeks have a much kinder attitude towards the sycamore: "A bunch of ghouls who seem to know that they are mercenaries and adventurers before they are alive, I guess they must have been bitten by ghouls before they died, and then they became ghouls in the cemetery, and came out and bit others to death, you know, although ghouls eat corpses, but they prefer fresh meat!" ”

"Only big guys? No ghouls with little men? Sycamore stared into his cloudy eyes.

The sharp-beaked monkey was stunned: "Little man? How do you know there's a little ghoul? ”。 ）
