Chapter 36: The Red Hat

The original source of the plague was from Pine County, where a team of adventurers found the remains of ancient tombs in the wilderness, which later proved to be traps designed by the Cursed Sect...... News of sightings of undead creatures in various counties and counties led to the exhaustion of the snow wolf knights, which eventually led to the emptiness of the city's defenses......"

The beginning of Tiana's story begins with the origin of this plague disaster. She doesn't go into detail about her true identity, but the bizarre twists and turns of the story itself are enough to grab everyone's attention. Even he himself had only traveled with the maiden in Queensland City, and he had limited knowledge of her previous dark history, let alone anyone else.

The snake of light didn't come out of nowhere, from the outbreak of the plague to the fall of the North, the girl spent three months traveling through the seven counties, fighting the Cursed Sect that had come to the fore from behind the scenes.

The negligence of the timberwolves and the disregard of the gods led to the gradual fall of the entire northern realm into the clutches of the shadow of death, and many local lords and nobles secretly took refuge in the lord of death and turned into dark nobles, quietly hollowing out the power of the timberwolf family, and even corroded the family for a time.

With the unraveling of the truth and the internal rebellion, the border cities fell one after another, the Snow Wolf Knights were wiped out, and the Timberwolf family was wiped out. The last survivors crawled out of the mountains of corpses and the ruins of the city, and fled south with their family tokens, crossing the vast mountains of the Yunlu Mountains to Istalon......

Without adding any personal feelings and subjective opinions, just stating the facts is enough to move people. The royal conspiracy, the fall of the Holy Nun, the invasion of the Earthwalker legion, and the southward march of the army of the undead are all major events that can shake the government and the opposition. But due to the outbreak of the plague and natural disaster, all of this was lost in death.

After the collapse of the southern defenses, there was simply no one else who could deliver these messages except for this army of exiles in Isttalen. It would be ludicrous to say that the royal family knew nothing about the rise of the Cult of the Damned, but they certainly didn't expect the feet of the army of death to sweep through the kingdom. Otherwise, Prince Romus, who is a die-hard member of the royal family, would not have fallen into this situation now.

Aside from the bad debts at Sword Keep, which she couldn't really say, Tiana didn't hide anything from Logan about the Cursed Cult and the Truth Society. Although I don't know if the high lord who guards the south knows anything about this, she, as a helper, must find out Logan's attitude.

Even if it was as short as possible, it took nearly ten minutes to speak. (The old man's attitude changed from disapproval at the beginning, to becoming more serious, and in the end his face almost sank.) It's no wonder that his face changed rapidly, and anyone who knows that his rear has been messed up will probably not be in a good mood anymore.

But although he was listening, the old man's mouth never stopped, even if he was in a bad mood, it didn't affect his appetite, and by the time Tiana finished introducing the situation on his side, the meat on his table had been swept away. Another person who has not been affected by his appetite is El, the story of Tiana's mouth, except for the beginning, he is basically personally involved, of course, there will be no additional psychological burden.

El doesn't quite remember the last time he let go of his belly and feasted on it, when he was a hunter in the past, if he caught the best prey, he would have to sell it for money, and after entering the city, the food in the chamber of commerce was the standard of normal civilians. finally became a general, and then fled all the way.

It seems that only when I was studying in Master Stephen's Mage Tower, I could be regarded as living a ** life of big fish and meat for a few days, but unfortunately I didn't care about it at all, and now I regret it when I think about it.

Of course, another important reason is that his pet little Langa is also an out-and-out foodie, in fact, it is the nature of the earthwalker to hunt the twenty-four corpses/13312/, and even humans are in their recipes. It's just that El is still a little taboo about this, except in special circumstances, Xiao Langa is generally not allowed to devour the flesh and blood of the enemy's corpse, and the consequence is that it has indirectly led to the malnutrition of the little thing, and it has not been able to develop to the full form of the juvenile stage until now.

The movement of one person and one worm holding the steak and pork leg on the table and eating Hese was not small, even Logan couldn't help but raise his head to look at him, and when the old man saw the silver emblem on Eyre's chest, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"I basically understand, it's really not worry-free......" Logan sighed heavily, put down his knife and fork and looked at Romus, who was hiding behind and bowing his head silently, and said with a cold snort: "Little rabbit, what are you hiding? Do you think I can't recognize you? When you came with your father twenty years ago, weren't you quite temperamental?"

Hearing the old man's question, Romus stood up stiffly, and said with a wry smile: "I was not sensible when I was a child, but I didn't expect you to remember reads;." ”

"Daddy, my eyes, those are unforgettable. Logan snorted, pointed at Tiana and said, "Your kid is now a well-known figure in the royal family, and now the little girl of the wolf family has fled to me, and you have heard what she just said, what is going on?"

As the biological brother of the Queen Mother, the Prince of the Iron Guard, Romus, can almost be said to be above 10,000 people in the kingdom, but here, in the face of the questioning of the Grand Duke Churkin, he sweated like rain for a while.

"I don't want to lie to you, but you know better than we know that the royal family has long lost control of the country. Romus pondered for a moment, and then said, "On the way here, I had a few open and honest conversations with Miss Lanstadt, and it turned out that I myself was just a pawn on this chessboard. ”

"Regarding the issue of the Cursed Sect, the royal family is indeed in the know. As you know, Oakland is a remote location that has always struggled to gain favor with the Cult of the Gods, and we're always looking for alternatives to our faith. Once demons, now undead. The Lord of Death is trying to challenge the god of death Naraku, and it takes a lot of believers to provide faith, and we happen to need the protection of a true god, so we make some agreements in secret. ”

"Do you have footwashing water in your heads?" Logan slapped the table, shaking his knives and forks and cups and plates. He rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Your family is really kind, why haven't I seen it before?"

What Logan was referring to was naturally Prince Romus's father, the largest force of the Southern aristocratic faction, the Grand Duke of Menia. After the death of the old king, his daughter was promoted to queen mother, and the status of the Grand Duke of Menia naturally rose. In fact, it is an open secret that the upper politics of the Oakland Kingdom have long been controlled by him in the palm of his hand during these years.

Things have developed to this point, and no matter what the truth is, the Grand Duke of Menia cannot escape the blame.

"We know that the Cult of the Damned will spread the plague in the north to proclaim the prestige of the Lord of Death and attract believers. At that time, we felt compelled to pay a price for mutual trust, because they assured us that the spread of the plague would be controlled, and even if it got out of control, the bad weather and climate in the north would bury the plague in a blizzard. But the plague spread far faster than we expected. ”

Speaking of this, Prince Romus's face was also a little embarrassed, as a king, he traded the lives of his subjects for the favor of the evil god, if this kind of thing was leaked, I am afraid that the prestige of the royal family of Oakland would plummet. But at this time, he had to stand up and explain the truth, which was not the original intention of the royal family.

"Even with the vouch of the god of commerce, the royal family could not fully trust the evil religious group of the Cursed Sect, and in order to prevent their ill intentions, the royal family specially invited the priests of the Temple of Life, including St. Sister Mary Vienne, and a divine Silver Crusader warrior. ”

"Our original intention was to be able to control the scope of the plague north of the Yunlu Mountains, with the Temple of Life sacrifice and the Istalon army guarding the end of King's Road, which is almost foolproof. And that's where the unforeseen unexpected ...... happens."

"Count Sneiker, a minister from the royal family, came to Isttalon at the behest of the king to check the progress of the epidemic control. But it was this man who brought us devastating disaster. Tiana took Prince Romus's words and continued: "The royal family has a long estrangement with the White Lion family, but there is no need to rush to solve it. But when the plague struck, Count Snecker stabbed the White Lion family in the back. His strength alone was not enough to break the white lion's bones, but he was desperate to lure the Holy Sister into fall, which eventually led to the destruction of Istalen. ”

"It is no longer possible to verify the motives of Count Sneick's actions, but it was his recklessness that caused the royal family's plans to be completely disrupted. The plague plague traveled all the way south, and almost all of the northern regions fell. The royal family had to improvise a defensive line in the southern plains. And now, this line of defense has also collapsed. With a helpless expression on his face, Prince Romans sighed and said, "This is not the situation we want, and it is definitely not the situation that the truth wants. We are all victims. ”

"Playing with fire every day, one day it will burn to yourself, it's not the first time that those neuropaths who deserve to be damned have played with fire**. Logan shook his head, and seemed a little unimpressed by Romus's defense, but the old man didn't say anything in the end, just rubbed his face, cheered up and said to Tiana: "I already know about this matter, I'm afraid I'll have to discuss it with a few old friends." You must have been exhausted from your long journey here, so I'll find you a place to settle down. ”

Logan picked up a rag and wiped the grease off his hands, pulled out an old parchment scroll from next to his Iron Throne, took it in his hand, turned to El and asked, "Little fellow, are you the commander of the troops?

"You ask this as an insult to the Isttalon warriors. El put down the bone stick in his hand and said lazily with a full hiccup.
