The view at night was extremely poor, so after the battle, the progress of tidying up the battlefield and disposing of the wounded was slowed down a lot due to the light problem. Akasha didn't have infinite mana, and there was no way to always use the "Holy Light Technique" to illuminate the soldiers, so it took more than two hours just to pile up and burn the corpses of those ghouls.

Thankfully, with the help of the Purifying Ring, the cavalry were not at risk of the plague, and when everything was cleaned up, the team set out on their way home at midnight.

The cavalry marched slowly through the woods with torches raised, and at the current pace they might have to walk for an hour before returning to the city of Houllier.

However, at this time, Roddy had nothing to do, and while he was on the horse, he scanned the [Judgment of the Throne of Bones] mission, and carefully thought about the clues about the "plague" in his mind, but after recalling the details of those previous missions, Roddy found that "history" was out of touch with everything he was facing at the moment: the problem of the low mortality rate of the plague was really strange... If it's just to make people sick, what's the point of the undead doing that?

He couldn't figure it out.

Akasha was stunned on the horse next to her, her mind was full of the words Sally and herself, and she was unconsciously a little distracted. Roddy turned his head to talk to her, but seeing her silent appearance, he thought that the corpses of those ghouls made her uncomfortable, so he simply closed his mouth and turned his attention to the undead apothecary who was tied into a dumpling and thrown on horseback.

The Wellington knight was not polite to this undead, his body was beaten like a twisted doll, his arms and legs were folded backwards, and the "chains of light" that shimmered with pale golden light were tied to his mouth, so that he had no chance to cast a spell - Roddy looked over, thinking that the other party would struggle with anger, but he didn't expect this apothecary to be quiet and a little weird.

As if sensing Roddy's gaze, the other party's head turned slightly, and a stiff smile suddenly appeared on his pale cheeks.

"Ho... Whew..."

His laughter was like a leaky bellows, chilling in the dark of night. Roddy frowned, and said loudly: "Augustine was suppressed enough by the council, right?"

This made the other party's eyes show a little consternation, but he quickly covered it up and continued to laugh there.

"Faraniel has bothered to deal with this plague, and you think I don't know about this?"

Roddy continued to throw another "bombshell", which made the laughter of the undead come to an abrupt end, and the corners of the other party's mouth twitched a few times, and then turned his head away, and there was no longer the slightest reaction.

Roddy wasn't interested in interrogating the other party right now, so he casually took out the three remaining "mutant crystal fragments" and studied them, ignoring the undead captives.

Time passed, and an hour later the procession arrived at the city of Hollier, where the curfew was in place.

The streets were empty, and the occasional soldiers of the Duke's Palace patrolled with torches, and Roddy turned to see the slowly closing gates, but there was not much worry in his heart: the undead had been wiped out, the source of the plague had been destroyed, and the mission had not been given a time limit, and everything was safe under the blockade of the city, and it seemed that there should be no surprises.

He yawned to confirm that Nokia was in the forest outside the city, and checked the list so that Da Da Duck was also on standby, and then planned to go back to get a good night's sleep and look for other clues about the undead plague when he woke up.

When the team arrived at the mansion, they disbanded to rest, because the Duke was tired, and no one bothered him to rest, Wellington greeted Roddy and dragged the undead captive to the dungeon, Roddy looked at his back, and vaguely heard the laughter coming from the dark streets again...

"Maybe this guy is crazy. ”

Roddy said a word to Akasha beside him, and then entered the mansion, and casually asked the servant next to him as he walked: "Why didn't you see Butler John?"

"Before, Lord John told us to go back and rest, and now he should sleep too..."

"Oh, that's... What about that—Sally?"

Roddy glanced at Akasha after asking, and noticed that she had turned her head to look to the side, so that he couldn't see the look on her face at all.

"Miss Sally has rested. ”

"Oh..."

Roddy breathed a sigh of relief when he heard such a reply. His mood was very complicated, and he felt that the two could avoid meeting and be as embarrassed as possible, but then he felt a little unspeakable loss in his heart. However, when he thought of Akasha, he still tried to put these distractions behind him, and led by his servants, he went back to his room with Akasha to rest.

Exhausted, Roddy fell asleep almost as soon as he got out of bed, and slept soundly, but after only four or five hours of sleep, he was woken up by a slightly noisy sound outside the door.

Because of lack of sleep, Rodi woke up with fatigue. The sky outside the window was slightly bright, and it seemed that there was still half an hour before sunrise, Roddy opened the curtains, put on a robe casually, pushed open the door and looked, and found that there were many servants in the corridor.

"What's wrong?"

"Luo... Lord Roddy, Steward John has been attacked!"

"What?!"

This sentence made Roddy instantly sleepless, he turned around and picked up the short sword on the weapon rack and rushed out, asking as he went, "What about the others?"

"On the first floor, in a coma all the time..."

Hearing this, Roddy hurriedly knocked on Akasha's door, and then dragged the little priest downstairs.

The atmosphere in the mansion suddenly became tense, and Roddy's nerves tensed, and he was slightly relieved to see John being carried to the ground - the health showed that the butler was not worried about his life.

"Akasha, heal it. ”

The light fell, and John quickly woke up, but when he opened his eyes, the butler immediately shouted, "Someone in the mansion has attacked me!"

"Where?"

Roddy's heart sank, and he squinted and asked.

John scanned around, reached out and touched the swollen part of the back of his head, and replied, "In... Near the pigeon coop, just after I went to deliver a letter to the duke..."

His words fell, but the two maids next to him took a breath of cool air together, and Luo Di turned his head and asked, "What's the problem?"

"Steward John went to deliver the letter in the afternoon... But at night he was still giving us orders. ”

"I remember you told us all to go back to rest, and it was nearly midnight..."

The two maids' expressions didn't seem to be fake, and Roddy remembered that the servant had replied when he came back last night—something so strange that he suddenly realized that something wasn't quite right...

"Where's Sally?

He abruptly stood up and asked the minions around him in a loud voice.

"Miss, she went back to rest early last night..."

"Didn't see..."

"No, that's not right. ”

Roddy's face changed suddenly, he turned around and rushed towards the second floor, seven or eight steps were jumped by him, rushed to the front of the room on the second floor, he suddenly pushed open the door, and then found that Sally's bedroom was empty, and there was no half of the figure in sight...

Suddenly there was an unprecedented panic in his heart, and Roddy immediately remembered the grim smile on the face of the undead captive, and he gritted his teeth, and immediately went downstairs to ask John to order a thorough investigation of the mansion, and asked Akasha to light the ring to make sure that there were no undead among the minions.

Then Roddy frantically searched for possible traces in the mansion, but no one knew who had left the mansion...

At this time, the two great knights rushed to the mansion when they heard the news, and after asking, Titus slapped his head and exclaimed, "Wasn't that John last night?

"It must have been so, someone seamlessly disguised Steward John and took Sally with him. ”

Taking a deep breath, Roddy clenched his fists and tried to calm himself down, but his fingertips pierced his palms - anger came second, and Roddy's most thoughts at this time were remorse...

I knew this, why did I insist that Sally stay...

But there is no regret medicine in this world, and the sharp pain in his palm made Roddy sober up a little, and he turned his head and asked Wellington, "Take me to see the undead, maybe only he can know something now." ”

Three minutes later, Roddy, who pushed open the door of the dungeon, went straight to the undead who was hanging in chains, and pinched the other party without any nonsense:

"Tell me everything you know... Right away. ”

The undead was lifted alive with the four or five hammer balls of more than ten kilograms on his body, and Wellington and Akasha, who followed Roddy into the dungeon, looked at each other, both frightened by the anger on his body that he had never felt before...

At this point, Roddy is a beast that can get out of control at any moment.

"Ho... Ho... Ho. ”

The cold laughter echoed in the cage, but Roddy no longer had the patience to play any psychological tactics with him, and raised his right hand and punched the other party in the face-

"Click!"

Luo Di's current attribute strength has long exceeded that of ordinary people by more than ten times, and this punch almost smashed the opponent's skull, and in the huge impact sound, the undead's head smashed a large crack mark on the stone wall behind him.

"What have you done, and what are the arrangements in Hollier?"

Roddy's tone was steady, without any hint of anger, but the anger suppressed beneath the surface seemed to make the air around him cold and unusually cold.

"You've been... It's late... Ha, ha, ha..."

The undead didn't feel the pain, and his twisted face still maintained that nervous smile, whispering a mock at the angry but powerless Roddy.

"Fuck you!"

Roddy couldn't hold back anymore and kicked the other in the abdomen.

With a "boom", countless dust and debris fell from the ceiling, and the other party's spine was directly kicked and shattered... But like a puddle of mud paralyzed there, the undead still maintained a strange smile, the gray eyes stared at Roddy, and the voice repeated the sentence in a low voice-

"You... Already... It's too late. ”

"Akasha, use that ring. ”

"He can't bear the light of the ring anymore, and I'm afraid he'll die in less than three seconds. ”

Akasha looked at Roddy, although she didn't ask, but she knew very well that Roddy's anxiety and gaffe at the moment were completely because of Sally, although she felt a little awkward in her heart, but looking at his appearance, Akasha still swallowed her saliva and said in a low voice: "I-I have another way, but I'm afraid I can only try it once..."
