Chapter 136: Duoduo Arrives
"If the Cuizhi River goes further east...... This should be Richero. β
Duoduo's bright red pupils twitched slightly, and he muttered, "I don't know what Lord Roland is going to do." β
Without hesitation, a week had passed since he accepted the order that Farina had handed him to Roland, and to trek east to spread the plague.
Duoduo took full advantage of his undead and did not stop to rest for half a minute along the way, so although his speed was not fast, and he also took the time to spread all the cities he passed through with the plague, he did not delay much time.
He pulled his hood down, covering most of his face, and walked towards the gates of Rizero.
And when Duoduo was just about to get closer to here, he obviously felt that the atmosphere here seemed to be a little wrong.
It's not that it's dead or chaotic, it's that the faces of the people here are full of sadness.
They even spoke in a low voice, with almost no smile on their faces, and some of them were fleeting. A solemn heaviness pervades the city.
It's actually quite a weird feeling. It was as if the surrounding colors had faded to black and white, and the sound had become indistinct. At this moment, Richeiro gives people the illusion that they have fallen into a fantasy.
But if they were to be enslaved and miserable by the lords here, there was no haze of humiliation on their faces, and there was no emptiness and despair in their eyes. If anything, the feeling is closer to the faint and unforgettable sadness of the death of a loved one.
But why are so many people so sad? Is it because the lord here is dead?
β¦β¦ Then he's really popular.
Just when Duoduo was in a state of confusion, he suddenly felt that he had hit someone.
It was a man dressed in leather armor. A short man with a short sword pinned to his waist. He had short, neat brown hair and a blank face. The eyes are lowered in obedience, and he is an ordinary person who looks completely inconspicuous.
Duoduo's heart jumped.
What made him wary was. He didn't even realize there was someone in front of him until he actually crashed into it. This person is like a black hole, and it is a void in the scope of Duoduo's perception. It is impossible to notice him with the naked eye.
In terms of Duoduo's perceptual attributes, it was absolutely impossible for a Stalker below the Silver Rank to get close to him to this level.
This is no ordinary stalker can do.
Someone who has such a level of control over shadows and stealth that he can only stalk and not be good at assassination, Toto can laugh out loud.
Shadow Dancer......
Duoduo frowned slightly.
This is the only Stalker who has studied the Way of Shadows to this extent.
On the path of assassination, only the Shadow Dancer is the branch of the profession that specializes in stealth and shadow tricks. And what appeared in front of Duoduo's eyes was a shadow dancer who was also silver at the most, and may have even reached the golden level.
How could such a small city have such a strong man?
"Are you Duoduo?"
Watching Duoduo turn his gaze over, the man who looked completely inconspicuous lowered his eyes. In a muffled voice, he muttered, "Your mentor asked me to take you somewhere." Please prepare your normal attire a little...... Don't reveal your identity. β
Suddenly, Duoduo suddenly realized.
It seems that this person is the meeting person arranged for him by His Royal Highness Roland.
So Duo Duo Ran simply took off his hood neatly, and followed behind the man step by step, obediently without saying a word, and his back was straight.
Suddenly, Duoduo changed from a gnome priest who couldn't see his expression clearly to a cute boy with a somewhat indifferent expression. Although it attracts more eyes, it does not have the kind of eyes full of malice and suspicion.
Obviously. Even if this man had the authority to take Duoduo to bypass the camp inspection door at the door and enter Richero directly, according to Duoduo's strange attire before, they would be easily blocked by the other inspectors.
Fortunately, there were no surprises along the way. Soon the two of them bypassed the crowd and walked into a small alley with no people.
"That...... Mr? At this time, Duoduo finally couldn't help but ask. Is something happening in the city? Is the lord dead? β
"More than that."
The man who walked in front of Duoduo didn't stop, didn't even have the intention of turning his head, just muttered in front, "It's not just him who died." The Marquis is also dead...... There was a serious accident here before. Many people died. β
The man spoke in a distinctly Caral dialect. The thick nasal voice made his voice very indistinct, and the overall word order was a little upside down. It was hard for Duoduo to understand every word of his words.
So he paused for a while. After digesting the content of the words, he continued to ask, "What kind of accident was it?" Who caused it? How large? Is there anything to look out for? β
"It was the cultists who caused the big bang and the mass murder that followed. Kill. Counting the missing people in the previous period. The dead were close to a thousand, and the murderer was a tall man wearing an iron mask and using a Carral military sword. β
The man who walked in front of Duoduo suddenly turned his head and stared at Duoduo tightly with his seemingly hollow and cold light brown pupils. Every time his pupils fluttered, he thought of the serpents standing up and the cheetahs lurkingβominous and dangerous to this degree.
"Remember. The eldest lady's father, the beloved Marquis of Sayya, was killed by the Man in the Iron Mask. When you see them later, remember not to mention it. β
The man's voice was cold and soft, more like a whisper than a threat or admonition. But Duoduo felt a cold and sharp aura slowly sliding against his skin, making him feel creepy.
It was the first time he had dealt with such an exceptional assassin, and Duoduo said that he was under a lot of pressure.
But......
"Marquis of Saya? The Marquis of Poet? β
Faced with Duoduo's question, the assassin pursed his lips and nodded silently.
He's here?! Is it because of persecution?
Duoduo was a little surprised.
He also knows a little bit of inside information. I heard that there was something very serious about the Druids within the sect, and it was said that the problem was of a serious nature, and that the charges of betrayal had already been passed by the Council of the Mages. In this case, regardless of the status of these people before, if they were caught, they would be punished with crucifixion.
The souls of crucified sinners will not enter the underworld and the kingdom of God, nor will they wander in the world. Their souls will remain in the state of death and be crucified. If the wooden cross is chopped into pieces, they will repay the pain of the split soul, and this pain will be permanent.
Duoduo is a believer himself, so he naturally knows what kind of cruel energy believers can burst out when facing apostasy heresy.
Heresy is far more hateful than heretics. If the poet marquis had been banished for this reason, his death does not seem to have been as simple as being killed "by a heretic".
However, that's enough for now. Duoduo doesn't want to know too much.
Compared with this matter, he cared more about Roland's plan and did not fail because of Richero's turmoil-
"Toto...... yes, first meeting. β
At this moment, Duoduo heard a gentle and gentle male voice sound, Duoduo raised his head and saw that on the second floor of the Marquis's Mansion, a middle-aged man whose soul seemed to be shining was standing by the railing with a smile and looking at him.
Behind him, a girl with long curly pink hair sitting quietly like a doll on a chair also looked over and smiled the same as Roland's.
"First meeting, Duoduo. Let me introduce myself, I'm Helga. β
The girl got up gracefully, bowed to Duoduo, and then continued, "Helga. Saaya. The daughter of the Marquis of Saya in the past, the Marquis of Saya today, and the future Queen of Caral. β
The corners of Duoduo's mouth twitched slightly.
He sensed as if he was in trouble. (To be continued.) )
