After eliminating the puppeteer's "groom" and "mount", Leon and Lagaia have almost declared war on the puppeteer.

Then, they could be attacked at any time.

But since the puppet demon is seeking peace, it shows that it is very strong.

They kept going.

A shadow suddenly fell in the sky, and two huge flying beasts flew in the direction of the ancient city of Syra.

They have an ugly head like a jackal, with devilish horns and fleshy wings.

"It's a gargoyle!"

"Dripbill!"

The two shouted the names of the two evil creatures almost simultaneously.

It is an evil creature that often appears on the reliefs on the facades of churches and monasteries, or on the decorations at the end of aqueducts.

The original intention was to warn the world that only churches can shelter people from the devil, but this does not change the essence of their evil beasts.

The gargoyle approached, then swooped down.

The wind was blowing, and the constructed creature stretched out its sharp steel claws and grabbed at Leon's scalp.

"Bouncing the orb!"

No sooner had Leon raised the Sword of Victory than the sound of Lagaia's incantation sounded.

This experience in the Witch's Forest made Leon subconsciously think that all witchcraft spells were so short.

Actually, it's unique to Ms. Angelina, the ability to condense spells into a short sentence or even a word for quick spell casting.

And Lagaia naturally has mastered such skills.

The faint turquoise brilliance condensed and turned into more than a dozen fist-sized magic balls, surrounding her, like the blood elf prince in a magical game.

The gargoyles also seem to sense the danger and try to change the momentum of the downstroke and avoid it, but the orb is already in the face.

A gargoyle was unable to dodge it, and was struck in the wing by a magic orb, and suddenly fell to the ground like a paper kite with a broken thread, shattering it with a bang, revealing the wood-textured limbs and parts within.

Seeing this, the other gargoyle did not dare to lower its flight altitude any longer, and quickly climbed, hovering high in the air like a falcon.

Clearly, they are the eyes of the puppeteers.

Lagaia raised her head and said hatefully: "There are really enough subordinates of this demon, but each one of them is so weak, if they come to attack the Witch Forest, it only takes His Excellency Andrew to solve them all." ”

Leon frowned: "Your Excellency Andrew can get these gargoyles?"

I can't help but imagine the scene where I used to fight mosquitoes in the middle of the night, but I was played by mosquitoes.

Lagaia couldn't help but look sideways, and said like a fool, "Have you forgotten that Lord Andrew has cast spatial spells many times?"

Li Ang suddenly realized that as the most difficult space spell to cast in all witchcraft, His Excellency Andrew could still cast it with a light weight, and the rest of his witchcraft would naturally not be weak.

He just subconsciously regarded the majestic and tall creature of the mountain giant as a warrior with extremely strong hand-to-hand combat ability.

Li Ang smiled awkwardly and diverted the topic: "The more souls the puppet demon devours, the more puppet puppets it controls, and this puppet demon has raised so many minions outside the city, even in the middle sequence, I am afraid it belongs to the stronger column." ”

Lagaia was unconvinced: "I'm also strong. ”

Li Ang said helplessly: "Sister, although you are very powerful, if there is another conflict, I hope you can try not to waste your magic power on those puppet puppets, if you don't kill the puppet demon, it can pull up a larger army at any time." ”

LaGaia frowned and said, "Doesn't this so-called puppet demon spell control puppet need materials?"

Leon shook his head: "Of course it needs it, but there are too many materials in this city for it." ”

"Puppet demons can animate puppets, and they can also make living people become their own puppets, and even corpses can stand up under their control. ”

Ragaia said with a look of disgust, "This monster is disgusting. ”

It was obviously some distance from the ancient city of Syracuse, and they did not dare to rush blindly under the gaze of the gargoyles, so they did not reach their destination until the twilight was blowing.

Before you even enter Syracuse, you can clearly smell the stench in the air.

Dr. Birdbeak pushed the wheelbarrow that was transporting the corpses and walked past the two of them, and the stench came from the wheelbarrow.

On both sides of the street, there are a few corpses that have not had time to be transported out of the city, and in the height of summer, they already exude a strong smell of decay.

This is the norm in most cities today, and in some cities, the death toll has even reached three-quarters.

The disaster forced people to flee from their homes and desperately want to flee from the cities, but this only accelerated the spread of the Black Death, and each of them was tantamount to a "great alchemy".

Obviously, the current situation of Syracuse is better than that of the rest of the big cities.

Lagaya was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Is this a mortal big city?"

Li Ang said: "It's disappointing, isn't it?"

"Well, it's better in the forest. ”

"If it weren't for the Witches' Forest of Protective Enchantments and all sorts of vicious legends, the civilians of the Tebelli Territory would have taken refuge in it. ”

"Maybe we should do something. ”

"For example?"

"For example, concoction of potions that would cure the Black Death. ”

Leon shook his head: "That is tantamount to openly provoking the authority of the church." ”

"Of course we can do nothing, but what about the church?"

Leon was silent for a moment, not thinking about whether the church was really helpless about the disaster or whether it could be solved, but he ignored it.

Personally, he prefers the latter.

If even the Church, which ruled the world in place of the Maharaja, could not find a cure for the Black Death, was the Black Death really the so-called "bubonic plague"?

Both of them became depressed.

None of them have yet to witness human tragedies and turn a blind eye.

When he came to this world, the scene that had the greatest impact on him was the wild witch who was tied to the stake and burned alive.

The two crossed a huge suspension bridge across the sea to reach the old town of Syracuse, the island of Odica.

Many stone buildings from the classical period still remain, but they are not preserved or abandoned, but are used as residences.

These stone buildings are sturdy, tall and comfortable, as far as the contrast between villas and shanty towns compared to the low-slung civil houses in the outer towns.

The streets here are also relatively cleaner, thanks to Count Campbell's secret belief in Greco-Roman polytheism.

It is said that Archimedes was born here and was brutally murdered here by Roman soldiers.

When they arrived at the Earl's Palace, the two claimed to be demon hunters who had come to exterminate the demons, and were soon greeted by the guards.

They were asked to wait in the living room.

There was a faint smell of blood and demonic smell lingering here, and many of the furniture showed signs of defects.

Leon couldn't help but frown.

There was not even a carpet in the parlor of the Count's Mansion, and it was evident that there had been a terrible battle here not long ago, and the carpet had not been cleaned until now, or had not been cleaned up, with bloodshed.

He couldn't help but have a bad thought, what if the Earl's mansion, including the Earl, was controlled by the puppet demon as his own puppet?

Aren't they now caught in the net?

Just as he was thinking, Count Campbell was already striding up the wooden staircase.

He was probably in his early forties, and he should have been a burly and tall body, but at this time he was a little rickety, and his face was full of exhaustion and fatigue.

Leon remembers only seeing the Count when he was a young man with Baron Tebely, and it is now clear that he is no longer recognized.

Leon didn't intend to reveal his origins, and when he became a witcher, Dante asked him to tell people as little as possible.

Because the Nasrezm are accustomed to gathering information, finding the bonds left by the witchers, and using them to deal with the witchers.

At this time, every time he leaves a piece of information about the origin of his identity, in the future, Nasrezm may grasp one more of his weaknesses.

Leon bowed slightly to Count Campbell and said, "Your Excellency." ”

Earl Campbell was a little wary and said, "You're witchers?"

The guards did not leave, but stood vigilantly on both sides.

Obviously, the previous witcher Gorond, who was invited by Bishop Mulardin, was instantly corrupted into a terror by the demons behind the scenes, leaving a huge shadow on Count Campbell.

But he doesn't care so much anymore.

In the past two days, the frequency of deaths in the city has surged, and the Black Death has invaded, and Syracuse has already shown signs of riots.

And, based on what Muradin's head said that night, it was clear that the ultimate target of the demon behind the scenes was their family.

No one knows when it will choose to do it.

The butcher's knife has been put on his neck, even if the person who came is an evil dragon, as long as he can get rid of the devil, he is willing to cooperate with it!

Leon handed over the letter that Dante had given him, and said, "We are Mr. Dante's assistants, and after receiving your letter, Mr. Dante sent us to hurry up without stopping. ”

Count Campbell took the letter and let out a sigh of relief.

"We haven't seen each other for sixteen years, but Mr. Dante really remembers our friendship. ”

But then, he showed anxiety again: "It's just that that demon is extremely vicious, and has reached the middle order, and even Bishop Muradin and the demon hunter he invited have died at his hands, are you sure?"

Li Ang said very simply: "This is my sister, and she is also in the middle sequence." ”

Earl Campbell noticed the silent Lagaia on the side, and his eyes suddenly lit up, no matter when, beauty is the most beautiful landscape.

But it's just a flash in the eye, and in an emergency, where would he care about the details of the female witcher's appearance.

He said with a happy face: "That's good, how do you call the two of you?"

Leon was silent for a moment before replying, "You may call me Octavius, and my sister Octavia. ”

"It's a legendary name. ”

Earl Campbell smiled.

Of course, he understood that this was not his real name, but the clan name of Augustus the Great, the first Roman emperor in history.

Octavia is the feminine name of Octavius, which is actually the same word.

Since the fall of the Roman Empire, it is not surprising that these two clan names have proliferated into the names of many children of nobility.
