Chapter 403: Regret for a lifetime
"What's the solution?"
Luo Di raised his head violently, his clenched fists slightly loosened, "Can you use it now?" β
"Remember me... I mentioned it to youβ" 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." β
"It's just... The spells I found in Elson City about controlling the undead. β
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?" β
"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?" β
"I swear in the name of a 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 Wellington Knight dispersed the dungeon jailers and completely isolated the area, and as soon as she 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 the Shadow Department's "Mind Control Consciousness" can achieve the effect of "Control Consciousness", but the conditions for successful spellcasting are very harsh - the same is true for Akasha at this time: 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 Zhì" through guò 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. β
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?" β
"The lord has already learned the news, and he wants you to make a visit."
"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"
Akasha's chest continued to rise and fall, and she reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, although her face was pale from the mana overdraft, but her face showed a little excitement.
"It worked."
Luo Di hurriedly helped her to sit aside, but Akasha was unwilling to waste time, and said to Luo Di: "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. β
Akasha did not achieve "spiritual control" at this time, and Cheng DΓΉ at this time could only be "spiritual 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 Holier City?" Where is Sally? β
Hearing Roddy's question, the undead slowly raised his head and replied mechanically: "Lord Wembsk is in charge of the second stage of the spread 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 attractant, and this place will become a dead city." β
After a few seconds, he continued in a calm voice, "Lord Wembusk only arranged the assassination, I don't know where Sally is now. β
The information confided by the other party was far beyond Luo Di's expectations, and he widened his eyes, looked directly at the other party and asked, "The second stage?" Pestilence? β
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 Luo Di was not interested in seeing what the role of this title was, he flipped to the third step of the task page, and now the font on it is still "orange."
"Task Description: You have ascertained the exact cause of the plague, the people of the Karen Kingdom are threatened by the plague, please do everything you can to stop this qiΔ from happening"
"Task completion conditions: Prevent a plague explosion in one location within fifteen days, that is, the task is considered to be completed, and each more place is blocked, the task reward is bonus."
"Quest reward: 14o million experience points, 1 xI talent point for the design of "Elondra's Longsword". β
Hurriedly swept through the handwriting, but Luo Di felt that his spine was inexplicably cold, he looked up and asked, "When will the attractant be spread?" Where is it? What are the consequences? β
"Before noon, at Hollier City Square. Once a human infected with the plague comes into contact with the coytrap, they will quickly die and become ghouls. β
"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 the city of Houllier, the city was already carried by more than half of the number of people
And yesterday, regardless of whether the assassination was successful or not, the city of Hollier will be under martial law and close the city gates today, and at this time seize the opportunity to spread the decoy, 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 rush ahead of the other party." Roddy's steps were fast, but his voice was a little stiff, "It seems... Sally's disappearance is not undead. β
He gritted his teeth and whispered, "But who else could do this?" Other aristocrats? Pit Viper Cross? Or..."
Hearing "Viper Cross", Akasha was suddenly stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Why is Viper Cross looking for her?" β
"Because she took away the artifact that originally belonged to the Pit Viper Cross, that's a good reason, but I can't be sure if they did it."
Walking out of the dungeon, he jumped on his horse and turned his head to look at Akasha, whose face changed: "What? What do you know? β
"Yesterday... When we went to the Duke's Palace yesterday, I seemed to see a man who looked like a B-cross, the bishopβ"
Luo Di froze suddenly, frowned and asked, "Can you confirm it?" Or can you tell who he looks like? β
"He's like a bishop named Carl." Akasha recalled: "I met about once two years ago, but I only met from afar, and the other party definitely didn't know me
"Carl... Cal... It had to be him."
The name quickly emerged from the memories in the chaos, and Roddy clenched 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 it was a B cross, then it would be easy for them to leave Hollier City, because the secret passage in Cambay 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 right away. β
"No problem."
Ghost Knight casually responded, and immediately sent someone to ride to the place designated by Roddy, while he himself went towards the school grounds, preparing to assemble 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 walked to the city square with the "lure", 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, Luo Disun told the Duke what he knew, and the sudden crisis also moved Angmar.
Within two minutes, the soldiers who arrived from outside confirmed that there were traces of someone using the "secret passage", which further indicated that the possibility that the infidels had abducted Sally.3
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..."
