"Gott~"

"This smell is too rushing!"

After discovering the truth and danger of ghouls, Edward immediately contacted Tucker of the city guard the next morning, and met with his superiors, and under a series of facts, Edward finally moved them to help him and began to find places in the city where ghouls might be hiding, and ordinary people who had been infected with corpse poison immediately isolate them for treatment.

And Edward got the detailed details and information of the previous series of monster attacks, the identity of the corpse, the place of death and all kinds of information, all sent to Edward one by one, Edward compared them one by one, hoping to find something from the identities of these deceased, the identities of these dead have everything, from nobles, down to slaves, from officials to boatmen, and there are all of them, just from the identity point of view, there is no similarity.

The only similarity is that each of them is a young man, and each of them has a strong body, perhaps this is the reason why they were chosen, the other party is selectively creating ghouls, and then trying to find a way to select the powerful one from these ordinary low-level ghouls and transform them into high-level ghouls.

Edward doesn't know how many ghouls there are in the city, there are more than a dozen people who have witnessed the death attack, and there are hundreds of people who have gone missing today, and what has not been found in the shadows is even more unclear, there are too many people in Babs City who have no identity and registration, and the personnel are complicated, and it is difficult to find out about this kind of thing.

Edward immediately remembered the slab he had found before, which led to the sewers, the city of Babs, which was the middle work of Farragut, the famous architect who designed the city of St. Sal in his later years.

Edward walked in the dark sewers with an oil lamp, a semi-circular sewer, with a sloping ground high on both sides and low in the middle, nearly four meters wide, and made of square stones, like a well-developed channel system, connecting all the places in the city, even if it was a downpour, this aqueduct system could easily drain the torrent in the city from the Babs.

"I didn't expect there to be such a large space underground? With such a well-developed underground drainage system, Master Farragut's design concept has fully taken into account the overall situation and the practical aspects of urban planning, which is the real master's style. ”

Just from this shocking underground drainage system, you can feel the transcendence of Farragut when he designed the city of Babs, this underground drainage system, later also used in the interior of the city of St. Sal, although Edward is not an architect and artist, but as a learned wizard, he also has the same knowledge of this knowledge, for these real masters, Edward is also very admired.

Edward traced along the place where he had found the suspicion before, closing his eyes and constantly using his mental power to explore the force field and feel the network of underwater channels, and at the same time compared it with the map of Babbus in his head, corresponding to where he went.

"Bloodstains?"

"There's that too!"

"Coming this way!"

Edward's keen eyes and perception kept tracking down the clues he wanted, and found that many people had been in and out of this place recently, and there were stained footprints on many edges, as well as traces left by armor rubbing against the stone walls, and this underground water channel would not normally be in and out if it were not for regular cleaning.

Edward continued to track forward, and found that gradually approaching the core of the underground water canal, the passage here became more and more complex, the space around the corner became larger, and the center of the place also went deeper and deeper into the ground, and the average person walked around such a complex waterway, I am afraid that he would have been lost in it for a long time, and Edward still walked in it with ease, but he found more and more traces, he was sure that he had found the place where the ghoul was hiding.

"Knock knock!"

"Whoa!"

The sound of hurried footsteps, with the sound of footsteps stepping through the water, and from all directions, came quickly towards Edward's side, and Edward immediately frowned: "How is it possible?" Found me? ”

And looking at this voice, it was interspersed with various footsteps, surrounding Edward, Edward's traces were already a sure thing, and Edward could be sure that the place he was currently deep in was about to approach their lair, Edward immediately recalled the previous scene.

"Alarm Witchcraft!"

Edward was immediately alarmed, thinking only for a moment, the speed of the other party was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, Edward saw several red-eyed, tattered clothes and roaring ghouls from several passages, rushing towards him.

"Roar!"

At this moment, Edward was at the corner of a passage, and more than a dozen ghouls that suddenly appeared attacked Edward from three directions at the same time, Edward immediately pressed his palm on the wall, and in the entire underground waterway, a large number of slender stone thorns instantly grew, penetrating all the more than a dozen ghouls rushing up, and a large number of stone thorns crisscrossed the space, nailing the ghouls to death.

However, they still did not die, but continued to struggle desperately, and Edward turned around and ran, he felt that a large number of ghouls had caught up, the number was extremely large, and the number was too many to count, Edward chose the way to flee, but just around the corner happened to meet the mighty group of ghouls coming towards him, turned to another place, and after shuttling through a few passages, Edward found that he was surrounded.

Edward thought that the number of ghouls would probably exceed his imagination, but this was too much, Edward immediately used his transcendent bloodline witchcraft to kill the oncoming group of ghouls, and a large number of stone thorns protruded and quickly scattered the other party, opening a bloody path.

Edward stretched out his hands, and saw that his hands were covered with a layer of stone skin, and his entire arm turned lime white, hard as marble, Edward rushed up at the ghoul, and quickly passed through the ghouls that were scattered, and those who stood in the way were smashed to pieces by Edward's heavy stone fist, or hammered directly with a blow, allowing the other party to continue to pounce, Edward, who was covered with a thick layer of stone armor, did not care at all, and slammed out.

At this moment, a voice wearing a black cloak kept stepping on the stone wall, swimming like a gecko, and rushed towards Edward, the long sword was immediately unsheathed and slashed towards Edward, Edward immediately grabbed the long sword directly with the palm covered by the stone armor, and between the two sides, a sonorous sound was released.

However, Edward immediately found that the other party's long sword was constantly emitting a strange power fluctuation at the level of spiritual power perception, and his own stone armor was constantly dispersing, and Edward's face suddenly changed greatly: "Extraordinary power." ”

At this time, it was too late, the other party drew the long sword from Edward's hand, cut a long cut in Edward's hand, and slashed towards Edward from the bottom to the top, Edward quickly turned around, but was still cut and fell to the side.

Edward had a long wound in the abdomen to his chest, fortunately he dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been disemboweled, Edward was seriously injured and pressed down on the rock wall on the side, and immediately saw that the stones of the entire underground cave were instantly split apart and collapsed.

Looking through a stone slab on the corner of Babs City, Edward crawled out from underneath covered in blood, and lay on the ground, his clothes soaked with blood, and although he urgently performed healing witchcraft and bandaging, his face still turned extremely pale.

It's not just a matter of injury, he can also feel a strange force constantly eroding his body and mental power, suppressing and eroding his mental power, when his mental power can't resist, this weird power will immediately directly interfere with reality, acting on his body, Edward immediately remembered the cursed witchcraft that the great sage Anthony told him, this is probably this weird power.

Edward slowly walked out of this dark alley against the wall, appeared on the street, and was about to take a detour home to deal with his injuries and find a way to deal with this strange and seemingly troublesome cursed witchcraft, at this time, the alarm bell in the center of Babs suddenly rang, and when Edward did not understand the meaning of this bell, the panicked crowd on the street and the continuous transmission of news made Edward understand the meaning of this bell.

"The king is dead!"
