The afternoon sun lazily poured down on the streets of Baldur's Gate, but all the streets and alleys were silent, and the tightly closed doors, empty streets and courtyards made the city seem to be asleep in the cold of winter.

The slums of Baldur's Gate, like the slums of other cities, are filled with low shacks, bumpy dirt roads, stalls of frozen sewage, piles of garbage, and foul smells wafting everywhere. This is where the poorest people in the whole city live, where all kinds of poor people, such as poor laborers, dock workers, vagrants, orphans, pulp washers, etc., gather here, and it is also a place where gangs, thieves, smugglers, cults and other underground forces are active.

It's a place that nobles and freedmen don't even want to visit. So, it's a rare place of freedom, where gangsters and thieves are active, and where cultists and smugglers frequent.

Because of the mixed environment, it is often the starting point for many conspirators to create conspiracies. Moreover, because of the weak surveillance of the entire upper echelons of the city, it is often the best place to cover up all conspiracies.

Originally, according to the normal situation, when the plague spread quietly in the slums, it would not attract the attention of others at all in the early stage, after all, judging from the extremely dirty and chaotic situation in the slums, it is really normal for the poor to get sick and die.

It's just a pity that the sudden disruption of the wandering adventure group, helping many poor people in the slums to treat their illnesses and medical treatment, but by mistake, broke the layout of the main messenger behind this plague.

Dugu Feng walked in the rugged and messy streets of the slums, and unexpectedly saw that the dirty streets mixed with mud, domestic garbage, excrement, and rotten grass and trees had all been cleaned up, and the whole street was cleaned up, not only the garbage heaps and shacks that were piled up indiscriminately were gone, but even the foul smell that hung over the slums almost forever had all disappeared, leaving only a clean and clean street.

After the report of the street wandering adventure group about the plague, the Grand Duke of Silver Shield immediately ordered the entire slum to be sealed off. Now the entire intersection in and out of the slum is guarded and patrolled by fist mercenaries wearing black helmets and red stripes on both sides, strictly checking the people entering and leaving the slum.

At the suggestion of the wandering adventurers, Grand Duke Silver Shield also ordered a major reorganization of the entire slum, and the sewage and garbage heaps that were prone to plague and disease were all cleared and landfilled, and sprinkled with lime for initial disinfection. In addition to this, the scattered shacks were demolished and a hospital dedicated to the sick was built in the area, with the Wandering Adventurers, a group of experts experienced in dealing with the plague, to deal with the patients.

Therefore, when Dugufeng walked into this unrecognizable slum, what he saw was an orderly scene.

It was a makeshift hospital, a simple wooden hut made of wood, neatly arranged like prefabricated houses, and all the patients were being treated in an orderly manner under the maintenance of the Fist Flame mercenaries, priests, clergy, and some volunteers.

As Dugu Feng expected, in addition to the members of the wandering adventure group, the holy maiden Maiden was also busy examining and treating these poor people, and even in order to study the targeted magic of this plague as soon as possible, she also directly summoned several heavenly envoys to help.

Dugu Feng did not disturb the busy Holy Maiden Maiden, but directly found Grant, the leader of the wandering adventure group who first discovered the problem, and asked him about the discovery of the plague in the first place.

"How did you first discover these anomalies?"

Captain Grant scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Probably, it should be experience!" ”

"Because I have also experienced the horror of the Great Plague firsthand, and I have personally experienced the fear and helplessness of struggling on the line of life and death, so I am particularly sensitive to these!"

Captain Grant showed a look of remembrance, and then said: "Actually, when I first came to Baldur's Gate, I found that something was wrong, and when we were providing free treatment for the people here, we also found that there were too many sick people in the slums...... Although the harsh environment of the slum is prone to disease, the people who can live here all the time will have some resistance and are unlikely to get sick so frequently and intensively, so we paid attention to it and found out that it is a contagious disease with a long incubation period......"

"I'm sure, though, that this is not a naturally occurring disease, but a man-made plague!" Captain Grant first introduced the process of his discovery of the plague, and then affirmed: "My professional expertise has given me a very keen insight into the microcosm of the flesh, and I can see all the processes that originate from the natural changes of the flesh, but from this plague I have not seen any traces of natural changes, but have seen traces driven by supernatural forces......"

Although Captain Grant may not seem remarkable, he is a true legendary warrior, and he is the kind of legendary warrior who specializes in physical refinement and control, so his judgment will naturally not be wrong.

"Have you found anyone who sowed the plague?"

Dugu Feng asked, although they didn't get along for a long time, Dugu Feng knew that Captain Grant was a kind person with a full sense of justice, although most of his energy was spent on helping the poor people, but when he encountered this kind of evil person who sowed plague and harmed the poor, he would definitely not sit idly by.

"I did catch a few!"

Captain Grant first nodded, then shook his head and said, "However, they were all planted with a curse in advance, and when we tried to interrogate them, they all died, and even the relevant memories in their souls were erased!" ”

Dugu Feng is not surprised by this, in this world full of charm control spells, no matter what conspiracy you want to carry out, you must make some efforts in secrecy. Planting a curse in advance and killing people once exposed is just a very common way to avoid risks.

"They should have left a legacy, right? Help me get a weapon, equipment, or clothes, as long as it's a personal item! ”

Dugu Feng didn't ask Grant how he caught these people who sowed the plague, all diseases and plagues must have a source of infection, since the plague is not naturally generated, then the source of infection must be deliberately spread by some people, if Grant is very familiar with the plague as he said, then it is very simple to catch those who spread the plague.

"That's fine, but the clothes have been disposed of and burned, and only some weapons and equipment have been left as trophies!"

As he spoke, Captain Grant beckoned to a little girl from the wandering adventure group and said, "Hey, Winnie, come here!" ”

"What's the matter, Captain?"

The little girl who set up a stall selling barbecue that Dugufeng saw in Yindun Town last time suddenly jumped over.

"Winnie, show Lord Aelita the loot we got from the last time we ambushed those men in black!"

"Oh, you mean the sneaky men in black in the sewers last time!"

Winnie thought for a while, then took out a dagger from her waist, handed it to Dugu Feng and said: "Those guys are so bad, they actually secretly polluted water and food, and caused so many people to get sick, it's really hateful......"

Dugu Feng took the dagger in Winnie's hand, put it in front of his eyes, and stared slightly. It was an ordinary-looking dagger, like the one used by most thieves and wanderers, except for the magical glow that shimmered in arcane vision, suggesting that it was a valuable enchanted weapon.

A dagger with two spell properties, Bloodthirsty and Sharp, is also a good magic weapon. However, this is not what Dugufeng wants to see.

Her eyes stared, and a silver mirror was reflected in her silver pupils, and in an instant, countless images flashed in the mirror like floating lights, and countless dense lines appeared like spider webs!

Dugu Feng's eyes traced the influence of the past, and at the same time followed the countless illusory lines like spider webs, peeling off the cocoon, clues, and the broken clues were directly connected by Dugu Feng, and the confusion covered by pieces was directly removed by Dugu Feng, and in a blink of an eye, Dugu Feng had already broken through many obstacles, and looked at the clues and behind-the-scenes characters on the entire line clearly.

Dugu Feng's gaze penetrated the void, followed the connection of cause and effect, and directly saw an unknown place.

This is a pitch-black secret room, and in the center of the secret room, there is a round black altar, and purple-black flames are burning on the edges, forming a circle of fire that is not very fierce.

And above the altar, countless runes rose in flames, and various complex pattern runes were staggered, hooking up with each other.

A magic array loomed.

Below the altar, there is also an intricately carved magic pattern, and on the nine-pointed star position on the periphery of the circle of runes, nine figures in black cloaks are standing.

"Hehe, I've got you!"

Dugu Feng smiled lightly and withdrew his gaze. The nine-pointed star magic array is different from the six-pointed star magic array commonly used by most mages, this kind of magic array is generally used when dealing with demons and demons in the lower realm.

Summoning demons and sowing plagues, if there is no great plan behind this group of people, the demons will not believe it.

Now that he found the clue, Dugufeng did not delay, returned the dagger to Winnie, and turned around and left directly.

"Killing doesn't solve all problems, but killing kills all problems."

Without exposing his divine power, Dugu Feng really couldn't quickly find a way to cure the plague, but Dugu Feng didn't need to treat the plague. The plague created with extraordinary power, as long as the source of the extraordinary power is cut off and the source of infection of the plague is directly cut off, the plague can be directly strangled in its embryonic form, and there is no need to work hard to find a countermeasure.

Therefore, Dugu Feng didn't have to pay attention to other things at all, and after finding the mastermind behind the release of the plague, Dugu Feng did not hesitate to raise his sword and leave, ready to use killing to eliminate all the sources of the problem.
