"Hmm, me?" Ziegler raised an eyebrow, leaned back, and turned to look at the Radiant Church priest standing beside him.

"Yes, Mr. Ziegler. The cleric bowed his brow, ignoring the many stares cast around him, and bent down towards Ziegler, "We need your help!"

Closing the book in his hand, Ziegler smiled, "Let's go out and talk!"

The cleric followed the red dragon all the way, watching him put the books back on the shelves, then walked to the corner of the stairs outside the library, and both stopped.

Ziegler took out a cigarette, lit it, leaned against the railing behind the glass window, chuckled and asked, "Is it the 'Farol' side?"

The priest nodded heavily, then bowed deeply, "Yes, now that you know about this, I would like to invite you to visit Farol to help the inhabitants of Farol relieve their suffering. ”

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something again, he hurriedly added: "Of course, our church will also provide sufficient 'rewards', and if you can help us, with the approval of our Lord, we are willing to provide rewards including but not limited to money, books, knowledge, etc. - even if you fail to solve the night ghost plague, as long as you are willing to go, we will provide sufficient payment." ”

Ziegler's vertical pupils reflected the humble posture of the priest in front of him, and a pair of eyes suddenly narrowed, and he asked with a smile: "Then aren't you afraid that I will go over to cheat this money?" You know, I am a red dragon, and I am also a notorious evil dragon. ”

With his mouth pursed, the cleric took a breath, "My lord is willing to trust you, the maid is willing to trust you, and even His Excellency the Grand Duke is willing to trust you, that's the reason." ”

"Well......

Flicking the ash into the ashtray beside him, the red dragon licked his lips.

It was only now that he realized that he had been so trusted.

Having always called himself an 'evil dragon', he felt a little incredible, but he also felt that he deserved to be so trusted now.

Since joining the Duchy of Sorrow, he doesn't seem to have done anything evil, as for the ones he did before...... No one will continue to pursue it, after all, on an essential level, he really hasn't done anything particularly obvious.

Although he studied the plague, he didn't spread it, and he killed people, but most of the time it was just for revenge - so he didn't seem very bad?

Ziegler leaned against the window and swallowed the fog, not immediately answering the questions of the clergy, who were waiting patiently.

As far as they knew, in the current world, apart from the plague believers of the Plague Church, there was no one who was most familiar with the 'plague' thing than the red dragon in front of him, and even those green dragons that might create many plagues might not be able to compare to this red dragon.

The legendary red dragon named 'Ziegler' is the authority in this industry, but fortunately he is on the side of the humans, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

“...... It's not impossible!"

After a long time, the red dragon suddenly said: "As long as you can prepare the reward, it's not like I can't go, but whether it can be cured or not depends on luck." ”

The cleric immediately raised his head in surprise, and then hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Lord Ziegler!"

Ziegler smiled and waved his hand, turned to look out the window with a cigarette in his mouth, "I'll just use teleportation later, you go and tell the people over there the news, and let them wait for me." ”

"Yes, I'll go!"

Then, Ziegler's ears heard the sound of hurried footsteps, fading away.

He looked out the window at the snowy scene, and he didn't plan to talk to Cervantes and them, anyway, the priest couldn't have found him directly, and he must have been in contact with Serena before that, so even if he didn't say it, they should know where he went.

It was only now that he realized the horror of such a thing as 'home country'.

I think about how free he was with a dragon at the beginning, and he could do whatever he wanted, but since he came to this country, the longer he stayed, the more he didn't want to leave, and the longer he stayed, the deeper his connection with this country became.

Until now, he felt a little uncomfortable even when he went out on a long trip, and in the past, for a red dragon who had no fixed place, this was a very common thing.

With a yawn, Ziegler extinguished the cigarette butt, then turned and went downstairs to find the puppet girl who was scurrying around the food street with Hill, said hello to the legend from the Free City-State Alliance, and teleported directly out of Farol.

As far as he could see, there was a vast white snowfield around him, and when he looked up at the city walls and closed gates not far away, he seemed to have returned to two hundred years ago.

Everything is so familiar......

Ziegler couldn't help but stand there for a moment with a sense of déjà vu, but soon came back to his senses.

It turns out that this is 'Farol'!

Although it was two hundred years and he had returned here, Ziegler was not very excited, but he felt a little funny because he had been expelled from the world of Assatom by the people of the United City-State Alliance of the Church of Radiance, and now he was invited by the people of the Church of Radiance.

No wonder the people always say 'the world is impermanent', it turns out that such funny things can really happen in the world!

In that case, there was no need for him to ask for directions to the local Shining Church.

With a brisk pace, Ziegler hummed a tune toward the city.

When he walked to the city wall to identify himself, the cleric of the Radiant Church appeared in time, which saved him some trouble.

Walking through the familiar streets, Ziegler's face became even more strange.

A spontaneous sense of comical had filled his entire heart, and he didn't feel anything before, but after coming here, his emotions suddenly became strong and difficult to contain.

"Everyone here has been infected with the fabled plague of the 'Night Ghost'?" Ziegler looked left and right as he walked down the street, looking left and right for a long time before turning to the clergyman in a protective suit beside him.

"Yes, Mr. Ziegler. "While it may seem odd for the priests themselves to address a red dragon as 'sir,' for now, it is highly likely that this red dragon will be the key to saving the city.

"In addition to those of us who came after us, in our church, there is also a legend that the merchants who have been vaccinated with the vaccine of your principality, only those of us who have not been infected with the plague of night ghosts. The priest said truthfully.

Then Ziegler and the clergy learned about the situation here, and in a few words, they had arrived at the local Church of the Bright.

At this time, he already had some certainty, but he was not sure.

In fact, ever since he knew that this place was 'Farol', he had a bad feeling that his lab was not far from here.

But it may just be a coincidence, in fact, the night ghost plague has nothing to do with his original research.

However, as he learned more about it, he became more and more skeptical that the Church of Radiance had failed to clean up his laboratory in the first place......

When he entered the Church of Radiance and received research materials from the clergy, his hunch was confirmed.

“...... Isn't this the virus I developed in the first place?" Ziegler looked at the information in his hand with a twisted face, and felt as disgusting as swallowing a fly flying out of the toilet.

At first, he had no skills, only a mind full of whimsy, and because he suddenly thought of this, he became interested in the plague.

"This plague should be treated separately from 'effect' and 'spread', just like the current 'night ghost' plague, the effective necromancy and the plague as an appearance must be cured at the same time, so that it can be completely cured!"

Now he knew why the merchant's vaccine could protect against the plague, because the virus had failed to invade his body in the first place, and because the virus contained the 'necromancy' part, the merchant's performance in expelling the virus was so intense.
