Chapter 521: The First Clue: Chengnan Cemetery (4/4)
The small northern town of Greenstone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was here that Link spent his first night in Ferroman, and it was here that he met Celine.
Back then, the Dark Elves' Blood Butcher Lund wanted to slaughter the city, and now, the Agatha Serpents have set their sights on this place and have begun to walk the plague here. This city is really full of disasters.
Link and his party came on a large wooden stake with a diameter of more than one meter and a length of more than 20 meters.
From outside the city, Greenstone didn't look unusual, there was no sign of the army in the Northern Fortress, there was no major outbreak of the plague, the only thing that was unusual was the hurried expressions of the passers-by, and a layer of dark clouds on their faces.
This situation relieved Link and the others.
"It's not too late." Link found a clearing in the woods outside the city, controlled the intensity of the Void Walk, and slowly lowered the large wooden stake from the sky.
The warriors jumped out of the canoe one after another, and all of them had a sense of novelty on their faces.
It felt like a dream that such a big piece of wood could gallop high in the air and take them across nearly 500 kilometers in an hour.
Link didn't delay for a moment, and he began to arrange the task.
He said to Felena and the other three Red Dragon Warriors: "You three go and wait on the avenue 50 kilometers away, and once the army of Oreda Fortress appears, you will come back immediately to report the newsγγγγγγ Also, be careful to be hidden, and if you encounter Agatha snake people, try not to fight with them. β
Felena nodded solemnly: "Understood." β
The three Red Dragon warriors ran north, not using the Red Dragon Body because it was too conspicuous.
Link said to Van Knoth again, "Are you following me now, or are you sneaking back to find your friend?" β
Fankonos thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go back and report the news, they're all waiting for my news." β
After speaking, he took out a small leather bag and handed it to Link: "Oh, the white stones you want, I entered a monument and found 23, you can see if this is it." β
Link was overjoyed, took it out and looked at it, and saw a small pebble that was round and white like a chess piece, it was indeed Jogu, and he put the bag away: "Very good, I wrote it down, there are 78 left." β
Van Knoston's face was full of remorse: "Alas~, I knew that I had started collecting before, I had been to many monuments, and many places had these things." β
Hearing him say this, Link was very happy: "It's not too late, remember, the more the merrier." β
"Understood. Then I'll go. With that, Vincnos ran towards the depths of the forest.
Left are Celine, King Lane and 19 musketeers.
Link said to King Lane again, "Your Majesty, we are ready to enter the city, your royal robe and crown will be put away first, now it is too conspicuous." β
Originally, King Lane wore this crown and robes to prepare for the barracks to deter ordinary soldiers, but now, they are first to deal with the plague problem in Greenstone, and the crown is too big a target.
"Okay." King Lane is very talkative now, and whether he can survive in this dangerous north depends on Link's protection.
When King Ryan dressed himself up as an ordinary person, Link said, "Alright, now we're ready to go into the city." β
With that, he launched the space leap.
'Hum~' The crowd was covered with white light, and a moment later, they crossed the walls of Greenstone and entered a remote alley in Greenstone's old town.
There is an MI3 unit in the Old Town, and if they want to get the most detailed and in-depth information about the plague quickly, it is the easiest way to turn to MI3.
However, with 19 warriors in their group, all dressed in uniform and carrying powerful magic muskets, the target was still too big to alarm the plague-spreading believers who might exist in the city.
And their advantage now is that they are hidden, they have accidentally encountered Fanknoth, and the Agatha Serpents do not know their whereabouts.
After thinking about it, Link pressed his hand against the stone wall on the side of the alley, and the dragon power spread out, which lasted for about three seconds, and he already knew the situation behind the stone wall clearly.
It was a timber merchant's warehouse, and it was very spacious, about half of the space was empty, and the other half was piled with many dry logs.
As soon as Link's mind moved, he teleported into the warehouse with the group.
Inside the warehouse, Link drew some spatial runes into the walls of the warehouse, creating a folding space, doubling the size of the already spacious warehouse.
"Your Majesty, Celine and I are going to find out the news, and you will stay here first."
As he spoke, Link took out another rune stone and handed it to King Lane: "If there is a dangerous situation, if you input your battle qi to the rune stone, I can immediately sense it, and within half a minute, I will arrive." β
"I see." King Ryan nodded.
Link said to his warriors, "Protect Your Majesty." β
"Yes, lord!" The warriors responded in unison.
Link left enough dry food and water to last for a month, then drew a few runes on the stone wall on the side, and with a clapping of his hand, a temporary space door appeared on the door, and Link and Celine walked out of the warehouse.
When he arrived in the alley outside the warehouse, Link was worried that Celine had not recovered yet, and asked with concern, "How are you doing now?" β
Celine turned the short-handled musket in her hand and said with a smile: "Very good, not tired at all, I don't know why, my strength recovery seems to have accelerated a lot." β
The sword spirit said in Link's sea of consciousness: "Celine's bloodline has further awakened, you look carefully at her hair and eyes. β
Link looked over and found that Celine's hair had become very shiny, faintly, it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of lilac dream fog, and her eyes were even more special, looking closely, the purple eyes felt like a bottomless whirlpool.
The sword spirit added: "This appearance is already somewhat similar to the soul master of the past. β
This is a good thing, Link was naturally happy in his heart, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he gently patted Celine's head: "It's okay, then let's go." β
After nearly two years, the Fountain Square in the old town is still exactly the same as before, the only difference is that the wooden houses that were burned down by Link have all been turned into more fireproof stone buildings.
Walking near the iron fence of MI3, Link moved his mind, and a traceless invisibility magic was used to envelop the two of them.
Greenstone is only a small town, and the highest level of scouts in MI3 is only level 5, and the two of them walked all the way, and the scouts here did not have any alert.
Walking all the way to the commander's office on the second floor, Link knocked lightly on the door.
A 'tuk-tuk' knock came into the office, but no sound could be heard outside the door, and the clerks outside the office didn't feel anything at all, still busy sorting out their papers.
"Who?" A somewhat muffled voice came from inside the door.
Link pushed the door directly and walked in, Celine followed behind him, and when he entered the door, Link showed his figure.
"Have I allowed you in!" The muffled voice just now sounded again, with a hint of anger.
Link looked over and saw a middle-aged man with a scar on the side of his face and a grim look sitting behind a long table, writing a letter and holding a quill in his hand.
Link glanced at the table and saw the words on the letterhead, which was written with news about the plague, and he was preparing to send a plague report to MI3 headquarters.
But now the MI3 headquarters in Hot Springs is long gone, and because King Lane has been in Field, the real headquarters has been moved to Scorched Earth City in Field.
That is, the letter will eventually reach Scorched Earth City.
"Who the hell are you!" The middle-aged man already had a dagger in his hand, and he looked very alert.
Link didn't want to identify himself, he sat down across from the middle-aged man, his eyes fixed on each other, he reached out and pressed it gently, and said, "Calm down!" β
It's a little psychic magic called Kunde's Heart Seal, invented by a magician named Kunde. Under this magic, all mood swings will disappear, vigilance, fear, joy, joy, and anger will all be smoothed, and the recipient's heart will be calm.
It is said that the Kunder magician invented this magic as a prank, but he went overboard and used it to make one of his friends completely frigid.
Well, that's off topic, back to the point.
Under this magic, the commander of MI3 had a trance in his eyes, and his emotions, which were still a little excited just now, suddenly calmed down, and his tone of voice became calm: "What are you looking for me?" β
Link asked, "There's a plague in the city, and I want to know the specifics." β
As soon as he said this, he felt the middle-aged man opposite his heart tremble violently, and a trace of fear appeared on his face: "This is not a good thing, you don't need to know, really." β
Link and Celine glanced at each other, and they both felt that there was something hidden in these words.
Link continued, "Tell me. β
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't resist the effect of magic, and said, "We found an altar of an unknown god in the city, and it seems to be related to the plague. This was the only piece of information, and our scouts tried to investigate further, but none of them returned, they were all missing, as were all the follow-ups we had sent. This is terrible, this plague must be God's punishment! β
"All missing, not a single survivor?"
"Nope. We found only the body of one warrior, who was covered in wounds all over his body and whose arm was stuffed into his throatγγγγγ This is beyond our reach, I need help, I need strong warriorsγγγγγγ I have to hurry, the news of the plague must not get out, or the bloody butcher in the Oreda Fortress will kill us! "This middle-aged man is chattering, but a lot of information has been revealed.
Link went on to ask, "I need the exact location of the altar. β
"The cemetery, in the depths of the cemetery in the south of the city, every night there is an inexplicable sound coming out, the grave keepers are scared away, the dogs are afraid to run there, a few children run in, and when they run out, they are infected with the plague, and they are the first to be infected."
Well, now the message has gotten it.
Link said to Celine, "Let's go, let's go to the cemetery!" (To be continued.) )
