In Mordred's report, an anomaly appeared in a village west of Camelo, where a large amount of black mist enveloped it, and some villagers changed and began to attack nearby villages.

Mage Merlin was the first to go to the village to investigate, but he didn't come back for a week, and the knights who entered later disappeared, so no one dared to approach again, and Mordred and Galahad caught a villager who had changed in the nearby village that was attacked, but the doctor judged that it was not caused by the epidemic, so at this time, it was only up to Merlin's disciple, Morgan, who also had an excellent level of magic, to check it out.

"What do you think about that, Mordred?" Arthur tapped on the table, "I've rummaged through many records before and haven't found anything like it. ”

"In the beginning, the villagers who came out of that village were normal, but then they gradually lost their minds and had a strong desire to attack people," Mordred thought for a moment, and then continued, "Their bodies will continue to shrink, and a successful attack on innocents will slow down this process." ”

"Sounds like some kind of curse." Morgan listened to Mordred's story and made a preliminary judgment, "Let me see the corpse." ”

"Take them around." Arthur rubbed his brow in some distress, Merlin's disappearance made him think that it must not be a trivial matter.

The group followed Mordred to a small room, and the guards at the door quickly moved out of the way after confirming the identity of the visitor.

The room was dry and smellless, and at this moment a male figure on the stone platform was trapped by several thick hemp ropes, but there was no movement in sight, and it was not known whether he was asleep or dead.

Everyone gathered around the man, but what they saw was a "corpse" that had been extremely dried up.

However, the "corpse" suddenly moved when someone approached, its mouth kept opening and closing, and its limbs began to struggle, but it could not break free from the restraints.

"Was this guy like that in the first place? Like a dead man? Zhang Lin asked with some curiosity.

Mordred shook his head: "No, when he first brought it back yesterday, he looked quite normal, and he was able to communicate, but mostly some unconscious muttering. ”

"He looks like a zombie, and a bit like the ghouls we met in the wasteland," Emma took a closer look before holding out her finger and pressing her finger on the guy's arm, "The skin is completely inactive." ”

"Have you been in a similar situation in other worlds?"

"Yes, there are many situations that can cause changes like this, such as necromancy, or the effects of dark energy, radiation, viruses, and so on."

"As for necromancy, Ye Naifa knows something, do you need to bring her over to have a look?" Ciri suggested at this point.

Morgan shook his head: "No need, I communicated with Yennefer, this situation does not seem to be caused by necromancy, it is a call for the return of dead souls, and now this is the living people who are gradually losing their souls." ”

Finding that he couldn't help much, Ciri had to continue to wait and see.

"Ms. Morgan, you're saying this guy's soul is draining, right?" Hearing what Morgan said, Zhang Lin seemed to have a guess.

And Morgan also heard from Zhang Lin's question, so he turned his head to look at him: "Do you have any understanding of this situation?" ”

"Just a little guess," Zhang Lin nodded hesitantly, and then continued, "Can you see how his soul passes?" ”

"It's like there's a mouth in his body that can't be blocked, and his soul flows down that mouth, is that why he attacks people, wants to plunder the souls of others to fill his own void?"

"What is this?" I saw Feng Yan squatting behind the head of the dried man, and in the process of the man constantly raising his head, he noticed a detail on the back of the other party's neck.

Everyone was about to turn the man over as Feng Yan found out, but even if the man was released, his struggle was very weak in the hands of the people present, and he could only be turned over helplessly.

I saw a black ring around the man's neck, which was as dry as the bark of a tree, and if you looked closely, it seemed that a wisp of white breath was wafting out.

"Will the villagers you killed come back to life?" Zhang Lin suddenly looked up at Mordred.

"That seems to be the case," Mordred scratched his hand at his helmet a few times, as if recalling something, "I remember that some of the villagers we killed would reappear the next day, and although it was impossible to tell what they looked like, I had noticed their clothes, and there were traces of them being slashed by the knights. ”

"So you really know, it seems like it was the right decision to bring you here." Morgan looked at Zhang Lin with a smile on his face, expecting his answer.

"This is supposed to be something called the Circle of Darkness, people with this curse are called undead, their humanity, that is, their souls will keep passing, and each time they die, their soul will pass more severely, but this mark will keep them resurrected, and then fill their missing souls by killing the living or the same undead."

"Is there a way to lift this curse?"

Morgan thought that since Zhang Lin knew about this curse, he might be able to lift it.

"Try it," Zhang Lin thought that since Mia and Fengyan's medicine could lift Avarak's curse, maybe it would also be effective for this.

There was no need to break his mouth for this guy with yellow teeth and his mouth opening and closing, and soon the crystal-like pills were thrown into his mouth and smashed with a smack.

It didn't take long to see the dark ring on the back of the man's neck fade away, as if it had never been there.

But although the mark was gone, the man's appearance did not return to normal, and he was still in a dry state, but it didn't seem to continue to go crazy and want to attack.

"Is this lifted?"

"It should be." Morgan nodded, "His soul didn't go any further. ”

"Fire, fire extinguished......" A faint voice came from the man's mouth, and then his head tilted and there was no more movement.

"He died, the soul flow was too serious, according to Mr. Zhang Lin, the curse gave him the ability to resurrect, but after the curse was lifted, he was also dead." Morgan frowned, and soon found that although the man's soul did not continue to flow, the faint soul fire did not last long before dissipating, "What is the fire he just said." ”

Zhang Lin was about to interrupt a story about the spread of fire.

"I think we should go to that village." Artoria said, holding up her hand.

"No need," Arthur's voice came from outside the door, and he had just received a new report, "the black fog that enveloped that village was gone, and there was nothing in it, including the villagers. ”

Altoria, who had wanted to take this opportunity to go out, immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant.

"Where's Mentor Merlin?" Morgan realized another meaning of what Arthur meant when he said it was all gone.

"Unable to find Mentor Merlin's whereabouts."

At this time, a system notification suddenly appeared asking Zhang Lin to return as soon as possible, which was the first time, but he always felt that it had something to do with it.

"I'm sorry, we may be leaving, Your Majesty Arthur, I have a hunch that Master Merlin may be fine, and he may well have gone to another world."

"If that's the case, please get the mentor back." King Arthur was very anxious about the disappearance of his mentor.

"I think we'll probably see each other soon."
