NO.0064 UNDEAD
From the very beginning, Yang Long was not prepared to let Rose live, no matter what the result of the torture was, this stunner of the Cursed God Sect was a dead end. He wouldn't have believed all the information from the captive, but one piece of information gave him a little inspiration.
After learning of the plan of these cultists to drive away the corpses, Yang Long suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his previous prediction: since this city was all infected, it was difficult to guarantee that other cities would not suffer the same fate. Don't say you can't read a map, but even if you do, it's dangerous to travel around as you originally intended.
Moreover, he still owes Lin a favor that he has not repaid, and after torturing Crane more than a year ago, Yang Long has learned that Lin is married to Orix Rivendell, the only son of the Marquis of Rivendell, which is a good opportunity.
If Lin's younger brother told Orix the news of the plague walk, Yang Long would be able to repay the favor. The most critical point is that Yang Long can take the opportunity to learn about the culture of this world, at least to learn to read and write preliminarily.
In the two years since he was reborn, Yang Long has had enough of the troubles caused by illiteracy!
Take this time into the city as an example, if Yang Long can easily distinguish the marks on the map if he is literate, then there is no need to waste time here, and he will do these ghost tricks with a woman who can see but not "eat", and kill him directly.
In contrast, Yang Long didn't care about any conspiracy, and he was not in a hurry to explore everywhere, and the most urgent need at the moment was to learn the words of this world.
Yang Long didn't believe what the female captive said about the "magic map", but since he decided to find out the information, Yang Long didn't mind continuing to act, maybe there would be some unexpected gains. Laying the silk map flat beside Rose, Yang Long pretended to wait expectantly.
"Master, can I have my hand, there is no way" After waiting for a while without seeing Yang Long make a move, Rose finally pleaded.
"No!" Yang Long flatly refused, even if he acted, he couldn't be too stupid, and Yang Long didn't know anything about magic, of course he wouldn't let it gain the ability to resist again: "You show me like this!"
After repeatedly begging to no avail, Rose also understood that it was impossible to get Yang Long to connect her arm, and secretly cursed Yang Long in her heart, and then whispered a short incantation, and a small cloud of pale cyan light immediately appeared on the female captive's right palm.
"Come on, master! Touch my hand with the map. Rose's whole body was shaking violently, apparently maintaining the spell though it was struggling for her.
After waiting for a few seconds, until Rose couldn't hold on anymore, Yang Long finally put on the leather gloves that he had taken off from Rose's hands, carefully took the map and gently touched the ball of light that was constantly trembling as if it could be extinguished at any time.
Wow!
The map emitted a sound similar to a quick pull on the deadbolt, Yang Long let go of his hand as soon as he could, and with a kick of his right foot, he withdrew from a distance of four or five meters, and at the same time hooked a wooden table next to him with his left foot and erected it in front of him, staring for any threats that might arise.
But this time Yang Long miscalculated, and the map was as soft as a towel, covering Rose's bandaged chest and abdomen.
"Could it be that I made a mistake?" Yang Long thought secretly, but seeing the joy on Rose's face that could not be concealed, he immediately reversed his judgment.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" asked in a huff, the female captive was still trying to stabilize Yang Long at this time: "The magic map has been activated, you can know the route by looking at the map."
"Really?" This woman must have done something to hide from herself! Yang Long's immature face returned to indifference, and he stepped up to the front few parts and used his long sword to pick up the map and lay it on the ground, and looked at it intently.
The map itself had not changed, but a cluster of cyan light had been attached to the map, and another three-dimensional map that looked like a virtual image was suspended more than ten centimeters above the silk map. The same size as the original map, about twenty centimeters thick, and at one point on the map a thin line appeared, flashing at one end and Stratholme at the other.
"The place where the flash is where the map is located, as long as the master, how are you" Rose found that Yang Long's face had changed, and the pretty face, which was already pale due to blood loss, was even paler.
"Why don't you speak?" Yang Longpi sneered without smiling, walked to the side and picked up the long sword that had been thrown on the floor at the beginning, and slowly walked towards the terrified Rose.
"You and I have said it all! You promised not to kill me. Rose was trembling,
Scold!
A sword cut the square table legs, and with a bang~ Rose, who was lying on the table, rolled to the ground roundly. Yang Long lifted one foot to control the extremely weak captive, and raised his sword high to aim at her right ankle.
Roar!
A loud roar suddenly exploded in the city, and Yang Long put down the long sword that was about to slash at the captive in surprise, and walked quickly to the outside of the tavern to look around. I saw that figures began to appear in the originally quiet street, and these dark shadows slowly but firmly gathered in a certain direction to the northwest of the tavern.
Because of the dim light, Yang Long couldn't see the specific faces of these figures clearly. But just a glance, Yang Long's mind came up with the plots of those biochemical movies that had been made bad in his previous life, and he was tired of watching those virtual creatures that were turning over and over one mode after more than ten years of seclusion.
"These are the undead, aren't they zombies?" sneered disdainfully, and Yang Long turned back to the tavern.
The magic that Rose used just now does activate the map, but it also allows the undead creatures in the entire city to activate it earlier. If it weren't for the fact that he was frightened and suppressed by Yang Long at the beginning and had no time to take out the map, and then Yang Long dislocated his arms after surrendering, it would only take five seconds for Rose to drive the undead of the entire city to take Yang Long's life.
It's a pity that there aren't so many ifs, after learning about Yang Long's cruel torture, she is full of fear for this young man, and Rose doesn't dare to make it too obvious. The shortened spell also brought most of the undead in the city to life, but it didn't command them to come to the tavern right away.
Seeing Yang Long go out to investigate, Rose rekindled hope, the undead are an emerging species, and she believes that these extremely aggressive creatures suspiciously attract Yang Long's attention and buy her precious escape time.
As a follower of the Cult of the Cursed God. As long as she can escape from this teenager's sight, she has time for revenge. In just a few moments, Rose had already stood up and staggered more than ten meters towards the window.
