Windy City is still the same. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In this era of civilization close to the Middle Ages, if there were no external influences, a city might not change much for hundreds of years.

The old Earl of Sutton was interested in how to consolidate his rule, how to pass on power to his heirs smoothly, and rarely thought about how to develop civilization, which was basically the case with the rulers of this era. Countess Elia's mansion is a little more luxurious than in the past, and it seems that the caravan has made a lot of money lately, and the number of escorts has increased a lot compared to the past. There are more southern faces in the mansion, and then there are a lot of highlanders from the south, and it is estimated that her past experience makes it difficult for her to trust the natives of the north.

"Teacher. Miss Fran wore a pure white princess dress and slightly twisted the corners of her skirt to salute.

The little girl's mental strength is growing steadily.

At this rate, she will probably be able to become a first-level wizard apprentice next year, which is a remarkable thing for her current age.

"Your Excellency Stephen. Countess Illya said in surprise when she saw him.

Stephen nodded slightly, then leaned over and hugged Miss Fran to his knees, whispering answers to her questions. Basically, every time she came back, she had a lot of questions, and Stephen couldn't stay here forever, so she answered them all at once.

Night.

After answering Miss Fran's doubts, Countess Elia returned to his room.

Stephen checked her body as usual, the progress of the dragon vein stimulation was not fast, and I don't know if it was because of the talent, or if the Countess Elija was induced by Stephen There is an upper limit to the potential.

"That's it. Stephen patted Countess Elijah's ass and motioned for her to get dressed.

Don't know when.

Countess Illya's back already has two slight bulges, which feel like cartilage, which are gradually developing dragon wing bones, and will eventually become a pair of wide dragon wings, and the color can be distinguished from what kind of dragon's blood has been stimulated.

As the dragon vein was activated, Countess Elija became more and more radiant.

She now feels energetic every day, and she has practiced her swordsmanship well.

"Maybe you can give her a bottle of dragon potion sometime?" Stephen thought.

After all, Countess Elijah used to be an ordinary person, and Stephen didn't know if she could resist the effects of potions, and this matter had to be tested on her bloodline before it could be decided.

He stayed in the mansion for two days.

While there was still time to come over this time, Stephen tried to teach Countess Elija some simple tricks, but the results were disappointing, and he wanted to pinch Countess Elija on his knee and give her a hard kick.

Never mind.

He shouldn't have had much hope for Countess Elijah.

The most obvious improvement in the entire mansion is the knight of Lola, a burly female man from the highlands who has obtained the skills of white crow swordsmanship from Stephen, and her strength can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, and she is now close to touching the realm of legends. Before leaving, Stephen greeted Countess Elija in advance, and he vaguely revealed that the North was no longer able to meet the resources he needed in the future, and that Miss Fran would have to go to the other side of the continent if she wanted to go further. Stephen told her to prepare mentally in advance and think about whether she was going to leave with him in the future.

If you want to leave, you need to pay it off here.

Either choose a suitable agent or get your hands on everything here.

Countess Illya fell silent when she heard this, and Stephen was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "You still have a long time to think about this matter. ”

"I'll tell you when you're ready. ”

Life is faced with many choices.

Countess Illya had made the right decision earlier, which is why she is in her current position. But now she had to choose whether everything she had in the North was more important, or whether it was more important to follow in Stephen's footsteps. If she chooses to settle for the status quo, then Stephen will be further and further away from her.

Day 3.

Stephen returned to the Wizard's Tower, and after being instructed to do something, he set off for the Five Rings Tower.

He couldn't leave the academy for too long.

With a flash of teleportation spell, Stephen's figure disappeared in place.

After returning, he made his way to the academy, but as he passed through a town on the way, Stephen noticed something unusual.

"What's going on?"

Stephen's figure fell from the flying magic carpet, and the town in front of him looked very desolate, and more importantly, there was a pile of burned human remains outside, and the gate of the town was closed, and guards with swords could be seen patrolling it.

"War?"

"No! this breath of death! it's a plague!"

Stephen frowned and looked at the town ahead, he could feel the smell of the plague spreading in it.

He paused for a moment, then continued on his way.

After all, this is a matter for the aborigines, and Stephen is not a priest, and there is no special way to deal with the plague.

All the way through.

Stephen found that there were large numbers of burned corpses in many places, and some villages were completely devoid of people.

The plague has spread.

"Who?" said a vigilant inquiry from ahead.

Stephen walked over and soon saw three wizards dressed in gray robes wearing the insignia of the Elemental Pool.

"Ahh

"It's Mentor Stephen!" said one of the handsome young girls.

Stephen nodded slightly and glanced at her, but he didn't have any impression, maybe the other party had taken his class. These are the wizards of the Five Rings Tower, which is already very close to the Academy.

"What are you doing here?" asked Stephen.

The three gray-robed wizards present looked surprised, and the girl replied, "Recently, a strange plague has suddenly appeared outside, and it is spreading very quickly. ”

"The academy suspects that a dark wizard has done something. ”

"A number of people have been sent out to investigate the plague, and our mission is to find a way to stop the plague from spreading further and find the source of the plague as much as possible. ”

Stephen nodded and continued to ask, "Has the academy sent someone to test for the plague species at the moment?"

"Hmm. The girl nodded and said with a solemn expression: "It's the plague." ”

"There are still some unknown things mixed in there, so the academy suspects that there are dark wizards secretly working on them. ”

Plague?

Stephen frowned.

If it's really the plague, it's more troublesome to solve, because rats are everywhere, and their ability to survive and reproduce is too strong.

"You continue to investigate. I'll go back to the academy first. Stephen said hello and continued on his way.

It's only been more than half a month since I left.

There is a plague here, and the momentum of the spread is so violent, I am afraid that someone is pushing behind it. You must know that this era is still relatively vast and sparsely populated, and even if the plague appears, it is difficult to spread quickly.
