"What's the solution?"

Luo Di raised his head violently, his clenched fists slightly released, "Can you use it now?"

"Remember me... I mentioned it to you—" Akasha said, turning her head to look at the Wellington Knight.

Roddy knew what she meant, and waved his hand, "There's nothing that can't be said." ”

"It's just... The spells I found in Elson about 'controlling the undead'. ”

Her words made Wellington's eyes widen, and at the same time, the eyes of the dying undead next to her raised their heads playfully.

"I can try, but I don't know if I can make it. ”

"What do you need me to do?"

Roddy agreed to the decision without saying a word, and then looked around, "Do you need me to light the torch?"

"I don't need anything, just hold him in place, maybe I'll need a while to try. ”

Her gaze turned to the Wellington Knight, "No one can say anything about this, okay?"

"I swear in the name of the knight to keep this secret forever. ”

Although "necromancy" is synonymous with "evil" and "horror" in the eyes of humans, Wellington never felt that the "type" of spell represented a "position", like a sword in the hand of a warrior, and the consequences were always caused by the person who used it, not the weapon itself.

Luo Di immediately brought a rope to tie the undead strongly, in fact, the other party had no ability to resist, and it was even difficult to speak at this time. The Knight of Wellington had dispersed the prison guards in the dungeon and completely isolated the area, and when everything was ready, Akasha raised her palm and whispered a spell that originally belonged to the category of "arcane".

Roddy stood in the shadows and stared at the struggling undead, but after waiting for nearly ten minutes, Akasha still made no progress.

In the entire spell system, only the highest level of "mind control" of the shadow system can achieve the effect of "controlling consciousness", but the conditions for successful spell casting are very harsh - the difficulty faced by Akasha at this time is also the same: although the undead in front of her has been beaten into ruins, his will to resist is extremely strong, so that it is difficult for her to achieve the goal of "control" through mental suppression.

The dimly lit dungeon wasn't hot, but a fine layer of sweat broke out on Akasha's forehead, as if patiently deciphering a constantly changing code, and she tried again and again to fit the spell with the arcane elements, accepting all failures without changing her face.

She understands that casting spells is not afraid of failure, as long as you succeed once, it is enough.

Roddy and Wellington held their breath for fear of stressing her. An hour later, a soldier arrived outside the dungeon.

"Lord Roddy, a message from the Knight of Titus... Last night until now, Hollier City is completely locked down, and no one has left. ”

Just because you haven't left the record doesn't mean that the enemy is still in the city, Roddy frowned and asked, "What's the news from the duke?"

"The lord has been informed, and he wants you to come over as soon as possible. ”

"Got it. ”

Turning and walking back to the dungeon, he looked at the flickering and dim light in Akasha's hand again and again, took a deep breath, and silently leaned against the stone wall of the dungeon.

My mind is full of scenes from where Sally used to be with her... On the border, in the Silent Forest, in the Duke's Palace, in the monastery, in the temple, all her words echoed in her ears, making Roddy extremely worried and extremely painful.

At this point, it is not an exaggeration to say that "seconds are like years", and an hour and a half later, just when Roddy has almost given up hope, Akasha's attempt has finally made progress...

The light cast by the fingertips condensed on the forehead of the undead, and after being injected, it was not repelled as before, but it was maintained by Akasha gritted her teeth, and squeezed into the other party's head by a centimeter.

The next moment, the undead who kept writhing their bodies seemed to have been struck by lightning, stopped their movements in an instant, and immediately collapsed on the torture rack.

"Whew... Whew..."

Akasha's chest continued to rise and fall, and she reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, although her face was pale due to mana overdraft, but her face showed a little excitement-

"It worked. ”

Roddy hurriedly helped her to sit aside, but Akasha didn't want to waste time, and said to Roddy: "I can't completely control his consciousness, I can't... Let him answer all the questions truthfully, and I can't hold it out for long, you have to ask quickly. ”

Akasha did not achieve "mind control" at this time, and the degree at this time could only be "mental erosion", so the undead's gaze was extremely dull, and he looked like he had been beaten stupid.

"Okay. Roddy turned his head and immediately asked, "What are your plans in Hollier?"

Hearing Roddy's question, the undead slowly raised his head and replied mechanically: "Lord Wembsk is in charge of the second stage of the plague in Holier City, the first stage of the plague has infected enough humans in Holier City, and then you only need to spread the 'inducing potion', and this place will become a dead city." ”

After a few seconds, he continued in a calm voice, "Lord Wembusk only arranged the assassination, I don't know where Sally is now. ”

The information confided by the other party was far beyond Roddy's expectations, and he stared straight at the other party with wide eyes and asked, "The second stage?

As he was talking, a new prompt appeared in the [Quest Bar], and the second step of the previous [Judgment of the Throne of Bones] was immediately displayed as completed, and the task immediately rewarded "300,000 experience" and the title of "Undead Slayer".

But Roddy was not interested in seeing what the role of this title was, he flipped to the triggered step 3 task page, and found that the font on it was still "orange".

"Mission description: You have ascertained the exact cause of the plague, the people of the Karen Kingdom are threatened by the plague, please stop this from happening as soon as possible!"

"Quest completion conditions: Prevent the outbreak of plague in one location within fifteen days, that is, the task is considered to be completed, and each additional place prevented, the task reward will be bonus. ”

"Reward: 1,400,000 XP, "Elondra's Sword" design x1, talent point 1. ”

Hurriedly scanning the handwriting, Roddy felt a chill run down his spine, and he looked up and asked, "When will the 'inducing potion' spread, where, and what are the consequences?"

"Before noon, at Hollier City Square. Once a human infected with the plague comes into contact with the 'Inducing Elixir', they will quickly die and become ghouls. ”

"Phew!"

The fist slammed into the wall next to him, and Roddy cursed in a low voice, "Damn it!"

At this time, it dawned on him that the assassination of the undead assassins was only one step in all their plans, and the spread of the "plague" had actually begun long ago, and I am afraid that the moment he stepped into Hollier City, the city was already carried by more than half of the number of people!

Regardless of whether the assassination was successful or not yesterday, Hollier City will be under martial law and close its gates today, and at this time, seize the opportunity to spread the 'inducing potion', which can really be called "catching turtles in the urn"...

Because Roddy simply didn't have time to evacuate the people!

"Ask you again, who was Sally taken away last night?"

"I don't know. ”

Hearing the other man's answer, Roddy swung his sword and slashed the other's head away, calling Wellington and Akasha and walking out.

"What now?"

"Immediately call the team to storm the city square, we must get ahead of the other side. Roddy's steps were fast, but his voice was a little stiff, "It seems... Sally's disappearance wasn't the work of the undead. ”

He gritted his teeth and whispered, "But who else could do this? other nobles? Viper Cross or..."

Hearing "Viper Cross", Akasha was suddenly stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Why is Viper Cross looking for her?"

"Because she took away the artifact that originally belonged to the Pit Viper Cross, that's a good reason, but I'm not sure if they did it. ”

Coming out of the dungeon, he jumped on his horse and turned to look at Akasha, whose face changed: "What? What do you know?"

"Yesterday... When we went to the Duke's Palace yesterday, I seemed to see a man who looked like the Bishop of the 'Viper Cross'—"

Roddy froze suddenly, frowned and asked, "Can you confirm it?" or can you tell who he looks like?"

"He's like a bishop named Carl. Akasha recalled: "I met once about two years ago, but I only met from afar, and the other party definitely didn't know me." ”

"Carl... Cal... It must be him!"

The name quickly emerged from the memories in the chaos, and immediately made Roddy clench his fists suddenly!

"Carl" is a well-known heretic who is nicknamed "The Secret Service Chief" because although he is a bishop, he is responsible for the extremely secret operations of the "Pit Viper Cross": spying, assassination, stealing important information, etc.

And if the Pit Viper Cross really came to find Sally, the reason must be because of the "Pit Viper's Kiss" scepter, so it is completely natural to send someone of the level of "Carl" out.

But then Roddy's face became more and more difficult to look at - if the 'Viper Cross' made it, then it would be easy for them to leave Houllier City, because the secret passage in the Cambay area was dug by them.

"Knight Wellington, can you send someone to check on a place in Cambay now? I know some clues that need to be verified immediately. ”

"No problem. ”

Ghost Knight casually responded, and immediately sent someone to ride to the location designated by Roddy, while he himself accelerated towards the school grounds, preparing to gather troops to fight.

But Roddy, who was riding on the horse, was in a state of confusion: Sally did not die here, indicating that the other party's purpose was just to "hijack", and if he was chasing after him on a duck now, there might be hope to find her.

But the message confided by the undead is even more worrying: the sun has been rising for a long time, and the "Wembsk" may have already walked to the city square with the "inducing potion", and in a few hours, the city may become a sea of ghouls!

Rushing into the Duke's palace and pushing open the bedroom door, Roddy quickly told the Duke everything he knew, and the sudden crisis also moved Angmar.

Within two minutes, the soldiers who arrived from outside confirmed that there were traces of human use in the "secret passage", which showed that the probability that the infidels had abducted Sally was more than 90%!

The pace of disaster is approaching minute by minute, and Sally is getting farther and farther away from Hollier City, but at this moment, Roddy sat in front of the duke, rubbing his cheeks helplessly:

"No matter which one I choose, I may regret it for the rest of my life..."
