The Tower of a Thousand Laws is not far from Potsdam Palace, and Jenna quickly goes to find her mentor Anthony after receiving a letter from Ludwig's administration. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Anthony took the letter, and after reading Ludwig's description of the great losses suffered by the Rhine Confederation in this plague and the pressure of the spread of the plague in as calm a tone as possible, he stood on the tower high on the top of Mount Abys, and looked down calmly for a long time.

Anthony has lived so long, and as a legendary spellcaster known as the "Erudito", and as the Speaker of the Abisfa Council, he has a much clearer judgment of the general situation of the world than the average person.

Behind this plague, it is absolutely inseparable from the group of necromancers in the Buried Bones and the Dark Council that is about to be formed!

In the big picture, even though there is still a vestige of the original contract, a little bit of sunset is no longer able to stop the ambitions of the group, who are already ready to change and rule the world according to their own ideas.

Anthony has always believed that magicians should not meddle in worldly power and struggles, which is almost meaningless and helpful for the growth of magicians themselves, and as a magician with powerful lethality, he will bring great disasters to this world in wars and power struggles.

However, the "Immortal King" Bardes, the first master of magic among mankind and the "Third Law" of the Necromancy, has too little or too little human part of him, and if the plague is allowed to rage, the world will surely become a victim of his ambitions.

Anthony has always had the deepest fear of the undead king Bardes and the entire position of the buried bones. Because Bardes has done something very important, which is to make the magician whose life has run out, that is, to return his soul to the River Styx, to continue to maintain his sobriety and magic in this world, albeit as a lich or other undead.

Anthony has seen many old friends, classmates, and students who can't resist the passage of time, but they can't accept the fate of death calmly, and finally chose to join the ranks of necromancers.

But now, the signs have begun to appear, and the Tower of a Thousand Laws must make a choice, whether to fight against evil, or continue to remain neutral?

However, the creator of the Tower of a Thousand Laws, the "First Law" Tulafat, has once again lost his whereabouts, and for the last few hundred years, he has always been so mysterious, and Anthony has become accustomed to this mystery, he has chosen to inform the other members of the Abisfa Council and His Excellency Didella, the "Seventh Law".

"I just received news from Master Sivi that not only the Rhine Confederation, but also in Paari, the capital of the Kingdom of France, has also seen a plague, but King Olon ordered martial law and quarantine, temporarily controlling the plague. Didella's face was covered with frost, and she said with a straight face: "Obviously, this is the work of our old friend and old-timer, the immortal king Bardes, who can't help but want to come out of the ground and attack this world with his army of the dead!"

"According to the internal correspondence we have planted in the capital of the dead, the intelligence indicates that as the Dark Council is approaching, powerful beings from many planes have entered this undead city, abyssal demons, underground dark elves, evil dragons, mind snatchers, corruptors...... "Another magician in charge of intelligence work slowly read out the dark forces of extreme evil and horror.

"It is clear that all the enemies of civilization and order have begun to unite, but we are still fighting on our own. Dedila said in a loud voice: "The Church, the Five Kingdoms, the Tower of a Thousand Laws, and many other forces, none of them are trying to take the lead in uniting the forces of civilization, everyone is fighting on their own, and they will inevitably be defeated by each other. ”

"Your Excellency Dedeira, for thousands of years, it is precisely because of its strict neutrality that the Tower of a Thousand Laws has ensured its long-lasting status as a magical holy land. If we are too aggressive, I am afraid that the Dark Council will choose to strike us first, and even if you and Lord Tulafat, if the Tower of a Thousand Laws is on the front line of the war, the elite who face evil will probably suffer heavy casualties!" Another member of the Abisfa Council, the legendary spellcaster, said to Didella.

The whole hall fell silent, the dark forces had been united, they were so powerful, no one was willing to stand on the front line to fight against this power, the price was so heavy that even the Tower of a Thousand Laws could not bear it.

"Then let's help the Five Kingdoms as much as we can, my friends!" Dedeira was clearly the main battle faction, "If the Five Kingdoms collapse quickly, the Dark Council will not allow the Mage and the Tower of a Thousand Laws to maintain their current high status." We may not be on the front line, but we can do our best to support the Five Kingdoms with magic, supplies, and intelligence. ”

Didella's eyes swept over everyone present, in fact, the magicians of the Tower of a Thousand Laws, including the members of the Abysfara Council, are from the entire Oronte continent, they all have their own races and kingdoms, although many people have nothing to do with the kingdom, but in the face of this plague that is about to sweep the entire continent, the members of the Abisfa Council still quickly reached a consensus.

"Then first of all, we will respond to Ludwig's request to send an investigation team to find out the cause of the plague's effect and strive to stop this raging plague as soon as possible!" Anthony glanced at the audience: "This mission is dangerous, and a legendary spellcaster is needed to lead the team to ensure the safety of personnel." ”

"Your Excellency, I am very interested in the role and principle of this plague, and I hope that I will be allowed to lead the team if I can. A middle-aged man with a thin face and wearing a blue-purple ** robe walked out, he was a legendary spellcaster who majored in the elemental school, and the title was "Deep Cold Will".

"Very well, this time you will be led by His Excellency Kersud, and my student Jenna will also be with you. Faced with the "deep cold will" that took the initiative to ask for help, Anthony bowed slightly.

Soon, a scout team led by a legendary spellcaster and accompanied by four magic masters left the Tower of a Thousand Spells through a teleportation circle and headed for the Potsdam Palace in the Rhine Federation.

"Welcome to all the masters from the Tower of a Thousand Laws!" Ludwig had already changed into a military uniform, even though he had gray hair and still had the sharpness of a soldier on his body.

"Lord Consul, this is a member of the Abisfa Council, His Excellency Kersud 'Will of the Deep', who is at the head of this reconnaissance operation. Jenna, the daughter of the Duke of Demore, began to introduce the two sides: "These three are Master Ferry, Master Macgarh, and Master Charles. ”

Jenna is a very beautiful blonde woman, she is just over twenty years old this year, but she has completed the challenge of the Master's Certificate, promoted to become a master magician of the Protective School, and has become a man of the year in the Tower of a Thousand Laws.

Hearing that the Tower of a Thousand Laws had actually sent a legendary spellcaster and four magic masters at one time, it was obvious that the Tower of a Thousand Laws took this raging plague very seriously, and Ludwig was also relieved, because he had been worried that the Tower of a Thousand Laws would refuse his request due to the long-standing Rhine ethos.

"I have prepared a sumptuous lunch, I hope that Your Excellency Deep Cold Will and all the masters can enjoy it to the fullest!"

"No need, Lord Archon. The plague is raging, and for every quarter of an hour's delay, more people are being tormented. Please take us to the place where the plague first broke out as soon as possible and begin the investigation!" Kersud said with a blank face.

Ludwig was even more pleased when he heard this, and he immediately called for his son.

"This is the fourth knight of the Knights of the Rhine, Reinhardt, who will lead a column of knights to escort you to the place where the plague broke out, the New Waggett Fort. ”

Reinhardt made a standard welcome salute, his gaze swept over several guests of the Tower of a Thousand Laws, and then landed on the only woman, the magician Jenna.

She had a smile on her eyebrows, a little baby fat face, and she looked very cute, and she had a strong bookish air, which made her very different from the aristocratic girls around her who worshipped power, she was very unique and chic, and she touched Reinhardt's heart at first sight.

Jenna is a girl who loves to laugh, facing the handsome and chic, most in line with the Rhine aesthetics Prince Reinhardt, she nodded with a slightly red face, and the two of them looked at each other, and there was a trace of throbbing in the bottom of their hearts.

Soon, five members of the reconnaissance team from the Tower of a Thousand Laws, escorted by Reinhardt and his knights, marched towards the new Waggt Fort in the north, standing on the high wall of the Potsdam Palace, and Ludwig watched them disappear from view: "I hope this plague can be quickly ended, otherwise my people will be under great pressure, and the enemy in the darkness has chosen the Rhines as the first target?" I will tell them with my sword and sword, iron and fire, that you have chosen the wrong object!"

Hundreds of kilometers away, the New Waggett Fort, where the plague first broke out, has been completely turned into a dead place, and if you look down from the sky, only the last town, the town of Neuer, still has the breath of a living person.

In fact, since the Rhines were almost a people on horseback, at the beginning of the plague, many people had already fled their homes with their wives and children, the most basic rations and valuables, and galloped on horseback.

As the plague spread, more and more survivors gathered, and the town of Neuer was such a place, where more than 5,000 people had gathered, and it was a necessary place to go to King Dublin, but the bridge ahead had collapsed, and there were not enough ships to leave here.

Among the 5,000 people, the proportion of the elderly, children, and women is very high, and the sum of them is more than half, and it is precisely because of this that they are so slow to move that they end up stranded here.

Of the five thousand, there was not even a single baron, only three knights, all of whom had official knightly ranks, so they were elected by all to be administrators, leading a hundred-man cavalry squad of herdsmen, hunters, and veterans, responsible for the security of the entire town.

Since so far the people of the small town of Neuer have not found any signs of the plague, the atmosphere is not too tense, and the knight has already begun to organize labor to urgently build bridges and build boats, if nothing else, everyone can be transferred to the other side of the river in three days at most, and there is enough food, so the people here are not desperate.

There is also a small church in the town of Neuer, where the presiding pastor is over seventy years old, and he has lost so much weight that he seems to be able to be blown down by a gust of wind, but he still insists on walking back and forth at every gathering point in the town, praying and blessing for every wounded person and family victim.

It was thanks to the leadership of the three knights and the reassurance of the priest that the hearts of the people were no longer anxious, and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

Soon, night fell, and everyone began to fall asleep, and because there were not enough houses in the town, hundreds of people gathered in the chapel and slept in the hall of the church. Winter has already begun, and at least the cold wind is sheltered here.

Joey's home is in the town of Neuer, he has just turned sixteen this year, he is a knight's apprentice, he studied with one of the three knights, and tonight he is in charge of the vigil, standing on the town's high lookout.

His father gave him the only thick cotton coat in the family, but in spite of this, his whole body was shivering from the cold winter night, and he had to pace back and forth in the small space of the lookout, generating some heat to fight the cold.

Just as he looked down and looked up again, he suddenly saw a pile of fireflies appear in the field in the distance, shining with a faint green light, in pairs.

How do fireflies appear in winter?

Joey thought he was dazzled, he quickly rubbed his eyes, and when he looked over, the green light was still there, and it was gradually approaching the small town of Neuer.

"What the hell is this?" Joyle craned his neck and looked closely, his eyesight was very good, and under the starlight, he could barely see that it was a staggering humanoid monster, their bodies were horribly distorted, flesh and bones were mixed together, and the green light was their twinkling eyes!

My God, merciful Lord, what is this?

Joey subconsciously reached out and pulled the rope, as long as he pulled hard, the alarm bell would sound, but at this moment, the bone-chilling cold pressed against his back, and he turned around to see that a miserable white and void ghost had floated up, and the dark green eyes were in front of him!

The next moment, Joey's whole person lost consciousness, his soul had been devoured by this ghost, he collapsed to the ground weakly, and his right hand also released the rope.

The ghost stood silently on the lookout, looking down on the entire town of Neuer, and behind it, an endless army of the dead was staggering forward, like a mighty torrent, unstoppable! )
