Chapter 160: The Product of the Blight
Seeing the ghouls on the merchant ship of the Standing family, William frowned and looked pensive. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The survivors on the merchant ship on the opposite side also saw William and the others, and they looked happy and hurriedly shouted for help.
In the sturdy captain's room made of iron sheets, several aristocratic lords with jade rings and aristocratic robes were even squeezed out.
They clutched a large amount of gold coins in their hands, and shouted for help to William and the others, threatening to save their lives, and they rewarded Yunyun with a lot of money. However, as soon as they saw the vicious ghouls rushing towards them, the noble lords immediately shrank back timidly.
At this time, Kane, who was born as a Templar in the Church of Light, couldn't help it. There was a hint of pity in his indifferent gaze, and with a leap of his body, he jumped onto the deck of the merchant ship opposite.
During the day, ghouls have low eyesight, but their ears are so sharp that they can hear even the heartbeat of ordinary people.
As soon as Kane appeared among the many ghouls, the ghouls smelled the breath of the living, and listened to the sound of Kane's powerful heartbeat, and his expression immediately became excited, like a beast with only instinct and no intelligence, and rushed towards Kane.
Surrounded by ghouls, Kane was undaunted.
With a 'bang', he pulled out the knight's long sword hanging from his waist, Kane didn't even use his fighting spirit, and directly started killing.
It's like chopping melons and vegetables, and as many ghouls come to die.
William originally wanted someone to help, but seeing Kane's relaxed look, he immediately dismissed the idea of sending a helping hand.
The battle ended quickly, and in less than ten minutes, the ghouls were slaughtered by Kane alone.
The group of big men guarding the narrow passage were completely stunned.
In the ruined captain's room, the aristocratic lords breathed a sigh of relief, and some aristocratic ladies were impressed with Kane, a little more reserved, and secretly sent autumn waves to Kane. The hot and bold one directly threatened to spend the night with Kane out of his wallet.
Kane turned a blind eye.
He held the knight's sword in his hand, and in a single stroke, two completely dead ghoul corpses were suddenly thrown into the vast sea.
The ghoul thing has been clearly recorded in the history books of the Holy Spirit Empire. After killing the ghoul, the body must be disposed of by burning it with a high fire.
Otherwise, once the ghoul corpse is not properly disposed of, there is a high risk of a plague outbreak that will sweep all over the country, turning the living people infected with the epidemic into new ghouls.
And now, Kane's approach is undoubtedly the right one.
It cannot be burned on a ship, let alone left for disposal on the shore. At this time, it can only be thrown into the vast sea.
However, Kane had just thrown two ghoul corpses and was immediately stopped by Sumera.
She wore a pair of white leather gloves, her beautiful face was full of excitement, and after licking her lips bloodthirsty, she told Kane to keep two intact corpses for research.
Kane didn't speak, but judging by his look, he obviously acquiesced.
After that, things were much simpler.
Some of the survivors of the Stantin merchant ship, along with the sailors on William's ship, came to the aid of the strong stench and the smell of rotting corpses, and began to dispose of the bloodstains, flesh, and messy limbs on the deck.
Ten minutes later.
The top representative of the survivors' side, a gray-haired steward of the Standing family, was invited into a modest cabin that was temporarily used as a reception room.
It can be seen that even now, the old man still has some lingering palpitations. He was quite frightened, and his hands holding the hot water cup trembled slightly. As soon as he spoke, he trembled.
William listened patiently, without urging, quietly listening to him finish the matter.
It turned out that two days ago, the steward had just finished delivering the goods on the family merchant ship, and arrived in a secluded small village overnight.
According to the plan that had been drawn up, they were going to rest there for the night, and they were ready to leave early tomorrow morning.
"It was in the middle of the night that we suddenly heard a scream. Then, as the outside of the inn became more and more chaotic and noisy, we all woke up to the ghouls who were hunting people for food everywhere. ”
At this point, the steward showed a look of fear on his face, and continued: "That small village is very small, the location is remote, and there is no security station in the local area, so there is no defense force at all. ”
"I'm just delivering for my family, and I'm not rationed with any capable personnel. When we found the ghoul, we had no choice but to flee. It was on the way to escape that we found people fleeing from other towns. ”
The steward sighed as he spoke, and said, "There is no war in the empire, and I have not heard of any plague in any place. These ghouls, as if they came out of nowhere, are simply terrifying. ”
"We were accompanied, and fled back to this merchant ship, thinking that we were safe from now on, and were ready to report the matter to the neighboring city. But halfway through, several people were bitten by ghouls. They don't say it, but when they become ghouls, they'll be the ones you just saw. ”
When the steward had finished speaking, the cup of hot water had been drained. When William saw this, he asked him to add a little more, and asked aloud, "Where did you first find ghouls?"
"Kuwait Province. The steward held the cup in both hands, raised his head and drank a large sip of hot water, pursed his lips and said.
When William heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly asked, "Which small village is in Kuwait Province?"
"Mangrove Village. ”
The steward replied truthfully, "The area of Mangrove Village is full of small villages, and there is not a single city. I reckon that an entire area is now overrun by ghouls. ”
When William heard this, he was a little relieved.
Mangrove Village, he had never been there, but he had heard of it.
There is a red tree that is abundant there, which is an excellent material for making furniture, and many people in the area make a living from cultivating this mangrove tree and selling it to passing merchants at high prices.
And in the area of Mangrove Village, there is indeed no city, and the garrison is weak.
In the past, when the beer business of the Lester family was just listed, Viscount Bazado and William and others had discussed whether to consider opening a tavern in that area to make a profit, but it was later rejected.
Now, even if there were ghouls in that area of Mangrove Village, there was only a small chance that they would reach the fish pond and spread to Sunset Town.
However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.
It would be terrible if the local garrison didn't clear it in time and let the ghoul spread to Sunset Town.
William was homesick, and after chatting with the steward of the Standin family in front of him for a while, he asked the cook to give them some clean fresh water and food.
After that, William, the personal boat of the Lester family, set sail at full speed and quickly headed for the docks of Kuwait Province. (To be continued.) )
