"Magic that forcibly interferes with the timeline will inevitably be punished by time."

Recalling Kieran's words, Jiang Weihan couldn't help but think of the famous "End of Time" - could it be that it was created because the Bronze Dragons abused the ability to interfere with the timeline?

However, such questions can only be left for the future, maybe you can ask the old man of time next time he summons.

At the moment, he was most concerned about how he could master Kyle's divine power and learn to be invincible - "Kyle, what is the name of your people?" I'll summon two out first! ”

"Don't be in such a hurry." Kyle said.

"It's a matter of life, how can you not be in a hurry!" Jiang Weihan took out the heart of Valoran and was about to do it.

"You can't summon two people now," Kyle said with another basin of cold water to extinguish his hopes, "The stronger the person who blesses the ceremony, the more benefits the blessed person will be." The average clan is not enough to match me, and you need to summon two of Valoran's most powerful assistants with me. It takes a lot of energy. And this ritual is not done empty-handed, and there is a set of exclusive facilities, which require a large amount of energy to be summoned from Valoran. ”

"Just say, it's roughly equivalent to summoning how many Wayne energies?" Jiang Weihan checked the remaining energy of Valoran's Heart, and then used the consumption of Vayne summoned earlier as a unit of measurement.

"More than three." Kyle's answer dispelled his last illusions. At most, he had enough energy left to summon another Wayne.

Jiang Weihan couldn't help but complain: "It seems that the angel is still too powerful, and two deputies plus some buildings cost more money than three Wayne." Then he perked himself up and said, "Looks like I'm going to have to work harder!" ”

……

Although the griffons soon arrived in Stratholme, Fording still felt that it would be nice to be faster. He jumped off his saddle and strode to the city gates, where the guards recognized him at a glance and hurried to salute him.

Ferding looked left and right, but didn't find Rivendell's figure, so he asked with a strained face, "Where is Rivendell?" ”

The captain of the guard replied, "In the morning a woman broke through the gates, and the baron suspected that she was a remnant of the Cursed Sect, so he reported to the lord...... Oh, the Light is above, this woman behind you! Guardsman! Protect Lord Fording and capture this cultist! The captain of the guard saw Wayne following behind him, the tight leather jacket, the iconic red sunglasses and the large arm crossbow, this is too recognizable, let alone seen it in the morning, he may not forget it in his life.

Before the soldiers could gather around, Fording shouted, "Slow! This is our ally, the heroine Wayne! Come and help us capture the leaders of the Cursed Sect! Rivendell has already secretly taken refuge in the Cult of the Damned, and I'm going to capture him now. I command you, as Lord of the Kingdom and the Vice-Commander of the Knights of the Silver Hand, that from now on, Stratholme is only allowed to enter and not leave, and no one is allowed to leave the city! Especially Rivendell! ”

He stared at the captain of the guard, "Do you understand?" ”

"Understood!" The captain of the guard trembled, and immediately straightened up. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the heroine in the mouth of Lord Verdin, who had said in the morning that Rivendell was a fellow party of Kel'thugad, but after spending so much time with Baron Rivendell, how could they believe that the amiable Baron could be a cultist? But when Lord Ferdin's also came forward to prove it, he realized that he had been deceived.

Fording brought two horses from the guards, and Vayne immediately rushed to the Silver Hand headquarters to ask for reinforcements.

"It looks like Rivendell may not be gone yet, we still have a chance to catch them!"

After entering the city, Wayne looked around, then shook his head: "I can't sense the breath that belongs to them. If it's not that they've hidden it too well, they've fled. ”

Fordin's heart tightened, and he prayed, "I hope it's not so soon!" ”

Arriving at headquarters, Dathohhan was as surprised as Ferdin, who heard the news for the first time, to hear that Kel'thugad might be hiding in Baron Stratholme's house at Rivendell. He immediately led a group of knights with them to Rivinedell's house.

After slamming the door open, one of the servants looked in amazement at the menacing intruders, and was about to call out to the courtyard when he saw their identification—the unique emblem of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

"Rivendell is still here!" Da Sohan asked as he glared at the servant.

The servant was a little frightened by his fierce aura, and stammered to reply, "Master, lord, noon...... At noon, I took my family out of the city in a horse-drawn carriage...... I went to the green. ”

Da Sohan slammed his fist on the stone pillar next to him, gritted his teeth and said, "This cunning guy! ”

Fordin vividly remembered that the captain of the main gate had told him that Rivendell had not gone out of the city - but Stratholme had a back door that was only used for military purposes. However, as the commander of the city defense, Rivendell certainly has the right to open this door.

"Go in and find out what evidence is available." Fordin directs the paladins to search the entire residence. Wayne walked straight to the study, groped for the location of the secret room, and said to the two paladins who were following her, "Smash it open!" ”

Ferdin's push open the bookshelf and swung it with his hammer, and with his full force, the stone wall cracked like a turtle shell, and after Da Sohan made up for it, the stone wall shattered and collapsed, revealing the secret room inside.

Wayne stepped into the chamber and looked around. Although there was no light inside, under her red sunglasses, there was no difference between it and daytime, and she could see a qiē here.

"Kel'thugad has stayed here for a while, and he still has his breath here." Wayne said, and then she found an open test tube in the secret room.

Dasohan and Ferdin, one after the other, walked in, and they illuminated the chamber with holy light. Then they saw Wayne put the test tube in front of them:

"I smell black magic from this."

Dassault took the tube, and there was still some residual green liquid at the bottom of the tube, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart. But after sniffing it closely, his face immediately changed:

"We're in trouble."

"Could it be ......" Furding guessed something as well, and he looked at his friend in disbelief.

"That's right, it's the plague in the Psychic Academy." Dassaulthan nodded heavily. "It's probably already been put into the city."

Fording gasped as he forced himself to compose, but his already powerful hands trembled, barely holding the hammer in his hand.

"We need to lock down Stratholme immediately, quarantine all possible infected, and then call for help from the kingdom immediately!"

They hadn't really seen the severity of this plague yet, but Jiang Weihan had already fully explained its danger to them before. At this moment, how much they hoped that Jiang Weihan's words would be filled with a lot of exaggeration, but the reality made them have to plan for the worst.

At this time, there was the sound of a fight outside. The two of them were startled and immediately ran out of the secret room.

It was the paladins of the Silver Hand who were attacked, and the attackers were the servants attached to the baron who seemed to be still working before. But now they were all different: their skin was dull, completely bloodless, and looked like dead corpses; The pupils faded to the point that they almost disappeared, like the eyes of a dead fish, and almost only the whites of the eyes could be seen; Hunched over, they frantically rushed at the living paladins, their mouths dripping with disgusting saliva and revealing the sharp, triangular teeth that had mutated into beasts inside, biting at their targets.

Now they are no longer living humans, but zombies after the plague!

Two zombies rushed towards them. Fording swung his hammer and smashed one of the heads, while the other was nailed to the wall by Vayne's Holy Silver Crossbow Arrow, its wound smoking like a fire before quickly turning to ashes.

Most of the paladins were involved in the previous crusade against the Psychic Academy, and the zombies were wiped out without causing them any actual damage. The wounded knight was soon regained by his comrades.

Da Sohan returned to his horse and roared, "Pass my order, seal off the whole of Stratholme at once, and prohibit any entry or exit. Block every intersection in the city, and from now on, Stratholme will enter martial law and no one will be allowed to go out on the streets! ”

Ferding said heavily, "We have to find a way for them to release the plague. ”

"Then you'll be in charge of it." Da Sohan nodded in agreement. He sighed, "I hope things don't get any worse." ”

Wayne said, "My abilities can't help you get rid of the plague, I'm going to track down Kel'thugad and cut off the source of the plague's release." Please allow me to get out of town! ”

Da Sohan said: "Okay, I will personally send you to the gate of the city. ”

Ferdin's plea, "Please catch Kel'thugad!" ”

"He's not going to escape." Wayne's answer was less of a relief than a statement.

……

On a trail away from Stratholme, three horse-drawn carriages stopped to the side of the road.

It is here that Kel'thugad, whom Dasohan and Ferdin's arrested, appears. Baron Rivendell followed him to the two carriages behind him.

After opening the carriage, the servants carried the contents of the carriage out and laid them on the grass at a time. Kel'thugad unwrapped the white cloth that had been wrapped around the outside, revealing the wounded and even decomposing corpse inside.

As if he were caressing a work of art, he showed an appreciative and enthusiastic gaze: "What a strong body! ”

The corpses were green-skinned, about the same height as humans, but much stronger than normal humans. Strong muscles contain explosive power.

"It is an incredible honor for these filthy orcs to fight for the great cause of the Lich King after their deaths." Rivendell chimed in.

"You're right," Kel'thugad opened the largest body bag. Revealing the face of the orc warrior Brooks, "It's a perfect carrier, I'm looking forward to what kind of powerful power you can show!" ”
