The old man lying on the bed was none other than Margaret's mother, and she trembled and said in a blurred voice: "Child, we must pray to the Light, perhaps to the Light, that we will be able to return to the warm Light after we die." ”

Margaret nodded, "I'll pray to the Light." ”

She peered through the second-floor window into the streets of Nighttown, only to see that most of the doors were tightly closed, and that it was not the familiar Night's Watch troops patrolling the streets, but a group of hideous-looking ghouls.

"Food is running out, and even if the undead don't rush in and kill us, I'm afraid the food won't be able to keep us going for three days. Margaret murmured softly as she walked from the second floor to the first floor if the undead were to kill them at noon today.

At the very least, Margaret hoped that by the last morning of her life, she would be able to finish the books she had recently bought from the Cathedral of Stormwind.

Walking in the darkness on the first floor, Margaret couldn't help but close her eyes, stretched out her fingers, only to see a faint holy light rising from her fingertips, looking at the faint beating holy light on her fingers, suddenly, her heart beat slightly.

But it was quickly extinguished.

Bang Bang Bang!

There was a knock on the door, which made Margaret retract the light from her fingers in horror, and just as Margaret hesitated to open the door, a voice came from the door: "Open the door, we won't hurt you." ”

Margaret naturally wouldn't believe this, but even if Margaret was reluctant to open the door, it was pointless, because the undead had taken control of the entire city, and it would be too simple to open the door of a wooden house.

She walked over, and the worst outcome was death anyway, which she had thought about last night.

She quickly opened the door, only to see a man standing in the doorway of the room, a pale-skinned High Elf, whose scarlet eyes and bloodless skin represented one thing, and that was that it was an undead.

Dani looked at the little girl in the house, she was wearing a Stormwind City priest's robe, her figure was thin, and her face was also above average, her timid face was naturally because the priest girl had not yet trained, and the familiar aura that had been lingering on her body and disgusted by Daini was naturally Holy Light.

"You're lucky that the undead didn't intend to kill you. Dani put a piece of paper in Margaret's hand, "How many people are in your house?"

Margaret took a deep breath: "Two people. ”

Dani said, "Very well, then you can pay the blood tax for two people." ”

Margaret soon felt that her skin was gradually turning cold, that is, a lot of blood flowed from her skin, and then the scarlet blood gathered on the palm of Daini's hand into a large blood ball.

"I can see you're weak. Dani said lightly, "Good morning, living man." ”

Dani turned and left Margaret's house with the two ghouls.

Margaret felt a little dizzy, a sign of excessive bleeding, and she quickly sat down in a chair next to her and began to rest, and it was at this time that she noticed the paper in her hand.

The paper was already wet with Margaret's sweat, and at this time, Margaret noticed the temperature of the paper in her palm.

"The people of Nighttown...... Half of the taxes of the towns not so long ago were paid, and the other half was paid in the form of blood, which could be paid in the blood of animals and animals, but it had to be ten times the blood of men. ”

Margaret was slightly stunned: "The tax has been reduced, only half of what it used to be, that is, one-twentieth of the income......?" Anyway, it's good that you don't have to die. ”

She thought about it as she tried to leave the house, after all, she didn't have any money in the house now, and if she continued to wait, then the future would not be easy.

Margaret walked down the street tentatively, different from the imaginary scene where the ghoul not far away rushed directly to tear her apart, only to see the ghoul on the other side of the street just glanced at Margaret and continued to patrol ahead.

"Sure enough, the people of Night Town won't be slaughtered by the undead. Margaret thought to herself, and then she walked down the street, and soon she was on the top of the square, only to see that all the paper on the sign had been torn off, and only a piece of paper that had been newly pasted up.

"The city hall recruits people, who can read and write, and the monthly salary is fifteen silver coins. ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Margaret ripped off the paper on the billboard, and then she walked in the direction of the city hall, only to see the door of the city hall, two hideous zombies standing guard, fierce and vicious, Margaret said timidly: "I am here to apply." ”

Seeing that the zombies had no inclination to attack Margaret, she quickly ran into the town hall.

Lu En was taking care of the information of Night Town, and he still couldn't figure out how many people, how many farmlands, and the clearing of roads in the entire Night Town, many of the materials placed on the desk had expired.

"If only we could recruit the troops of the Night's Watch who fled not long ago. Lu En depressedly threw his helmet on the table, the finances of the whole night town are not good, it is hard to imagine that the finances of a town are only ten gold coins, Lu En has been hunting in the Valley of Thorns, that is, three days of harvest, you can get ten gold coins.

Bang Bang Bang ~

There was a knock on the door, and then Lu En saw a timid little girl wearing a white priest's robe walking in from the door, she cautiously looked at Lu En not far away and asked, "Excuse me, are you the ruler of this town?"

Lu En was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Yes, as for whether I am the mayor or the earl now, I don't know myself." ”

"You're here to apply, do you know how to read?"

Margaret nodded: "I once studied in the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City for a while, I know the words, but ......"

Lu En sighed: "Then it's you, you can be my assistant." ”

Margaret was slightly stunned: "It's so simple?"

Lu En nodded: "Okay, soon you won't think it's easy, you can help me sort out this pile of information first, and see how much farmland, population, and so on are still in this night town......"

"Once you've got that done, gather some of the citizens and go and get back the viable Night's Watch troops in the Twilight Forest, and tell them they've been pardoned. ”

After hearing Lu En's series of words, Margaret said timidly: "My lord, you are like that...... Trust me?"

Lu En nodded: "Of course, you have also seen that the whole city is full of undead, isn't it? I believe that if the living are not loyal to me, the dead will be completely loyal to me." ”
