Naturally, the teapot that has been boiled with potion can no longer be used to make tea, but the white water mixed with the taste of the potion will not be uningenabled, and drinking more can also improve the body's resistance. Tiana put down the teacup, picked up a biscuit from the plate, and chewed it slowly in small bites.

No matter how graceful the movement is, it can't change the fact that clean food is becoming less and less. The girl pricked up her ears and listened to the movement outside, and after a moment's struggle, she put her fingers in her mouth, sucked up the remaining biscuit crumbs and grease, and then picked up the plate and licked it expressionlessly.

Although it was impossible for anyone to see it, I still felt ashamed...... Tiana blushed and let out a sad cry in her heart, since leaving Sky City, she seemed to have moved farther and farther away from the standard of a lady. If the eldest lady knew that she had to find food from the dead man's pile now, she would probably roll her eyes and faint on the spot.

It was getting late, and as the sun left, the cold air hovering in the city became thicker and thicker, and the whining of the wind came from the cracks in the windows, like a ghost crying. Although it was not necessary, Tiana carefully checked her gear again.

The cherry wood staff in his hand "Love" had several terrible scars, almost about to shatter. Tiana doesn't know how long the staff will last, but she hopes that "Love" will be with her until the end.

The two spell scrolls, Spark Spray and Arcane Missile, were treasures taken from the dead, and their original owners failed to prepare a spell to resist the disease, and died in the mud like everyone else.

An enchanted silver pendant that resists a vicious curse, but now it is much dimmer. This is still an inferior product that the girl bought at a stall and processed by herself temporarily.

Two vials of concentrated anti-poison potions, thanks to the tranquilizer brought by the young hunter. The lords who visited the city did not receive any help, and they did not expect that there would be unexpected surprises. With this, the girl gained a lot of confidence and courage in her actions at night.

It has been more than 100 days since she left Sky City and came to the north, and once upon a time, the girl was still a young lady who did not eat fireworks in the world. Noble blood, outstanding talent, and beautiful ...... Countless halos surround her, and there is no trouble, no sorrow, no gloom in her world, like a fairy tale.

And now, Tiana feels that she has become a stray wild cat, she walks alone in the night, goes through the test of life and death again and again, loses the qualification of delicate and weak, and even abandons her morality and shame. But it also fueled her wildness, sharpening her claws and teeth.

The soft moonlight shone on the streets, turning cold. There was no sound, no lights, and the city was dead silent at night. Tiana walked silently through the alley in a black cloak.

The girl was afraid of the dark, and when she was a child, she had to ask someone to light a candle by the bedside when she went to bed. And now she has learned to use the protection of the darkness, and even when she knows that no one is watching, she always carefully hides in the shadows.

It may seem ironic that the magicians who manipulate the light rely on the darkness, but as Tiana learns to adapt to the darkness, she comes to understand a proverb often said by her mentor:

Light and shadow go hand in hand.

Faintly hearing a faint sound coming from the street in front of her, Tiana stopped, hid by the wall and slowly poked her head out.

There were several people standing on the street...... Or what used to be human. They tilted their heads and shuffled around an empty piece of ground that had been cleared. There, there was a black-robed man with a strange peaked hat, pouting on the ground and not knowing what to draw.

Tiana's eyes narrowed, her face slightly cold. That guy was exactly what she was looking for—the Cursed Cultist.

Most of these sneaky people with top hats are psychopaths with twisted minds, they worship evil gods, they hate all things ordered, and they crave destruction and chaos.

Although not the initiators of the plague, these Cursed Cultists were drawn to it like flies that saw droppings. They stirred up trouble in every stricken city, accelerating the spread of the disease until it became uncontrollable.

By accident, Tiana came into contact with these Cultists of the Damned on her first day in the North. By the time she followed the traces of sin to the city, she had lost all of her family guards.

Not only the guards, but also too many people around her, the girl didn't want to think of those black memories, she could only turn her sadness into persistent motivation, and she didn't care about life and death for a long time.

Tiana gritted her teeth and clenched the broken staff in her hand. She noticed something strange about the place during the day. Cultists of the Damned tend to do something shady after the plague, and usually they will clear a place to build a mysterious circle, which can be easily spotted by those who care about it.

The flow of magic around them began to fluctuate rhythmically, and the Cursed Cultist should have just finished building the circle, and in Tiana's previous experience, they usually didn't start the ritual until midnight. Until then, they have to put their mental energy into the circle to gradually improve their operational efficiency, so they have no time to think about anything else.

Secretly reciting the scale of the incantation, the magic gathered into the staff, and slowly drained away from the shattered scar. The broken staff trembled slightly, hot to the hand, but for the amplification effect of the magic, Tiana could only use it alive.

The Cultist of the Damned, who was lying on the ground, looked up, and looked at the corner where Tiana was hiding. His gaze was met by a light that broke through the sky.

Arrows of light cut through the darkness and lit up the streets in an instant. The zombies in charge of guarding were alarmed, but they didn't have time to make any blocking moves, and the light arrow deflected slightly halfway, and passed by the zombies like snakes with dexterity, bombarding the feet of the Cursed Cultist with precision.

A cloud of fireworks shattered the silence of the city, and masonry flew in the midst of a dull loud noise.

With the first blow, Tiana did not let her guard down, but cautiously took a few steps back. She aimed her staff in the direction of the Cursed Cultists, pricking up her ears to listen to the sound of the wind around her.

"Snake of Light! You're here again!" said the cursed cultist gritted his teeth through the smoke, and Tiana's heart sank, and the guy seemed to be full of anger.

She saw a tall figure standing up, black robes embroidered with silver thread that glittered in the moonlight. It wasn't an ordinary Cursed Cultist, but a higher-ranking Cursed Cultist

"I want to congratulate you, Snake of Light. After sabotaging our plans so many times, you have not only earned the title of this honor, but also the appreciation of the big names above. The Cursed Clergy said with a strange grin.

"It doesn't sound like a nice guy, but I'd be honored to feel your fears. ”

Tiana casually agreed, leaning down against the wall, looking at the other party vigilantly, already thinking of retreating. If she was fully armed, she would still have the faith to fight the Cursed Priest, but now she is powerless.

"You act in a way that is more like our side than those righteous heroes. The Cursed Clergy said, holding out his arm to Tiana and bowing his head slightly in an invitation.

"Dancing Serpent, the Archbishop admires you and wants you to be one of us. You can bring it up no matter what the conditions are, the power of the Cursed Sect is far beyond your imagination. ”

"What if I ask to stop spreading this plague?" asked Tiana.

"You and I both know very well that this plague is a natural disaster, and we are just taking advantage of it. The Cursed Clergy shook his head. "This is the wrath of the gods, and a monstrous plague will sweep the whole world, and no one will be spared. All the efforts you are making now are a mantis arm, and only by becoming a member of us can you get the ultimate salvation. ”

"I'm curious about what the Cursed Sect's so-called ultimate salvation is. Tiana snorted, disdainful of the cursed priest's demagoguery.

The Cursed Clergy was about to continue, when he suddenly let out a strange cry and flashed to the side. A second arrow of light flew past his body, scorching the black robe on his body.

Tiana unleashed her magic and immediately rolled to the side along the wall, and almost at the same time the wall of earth behind her collapsed, and a sharp claw wrapped in filthy bandages burst through the wall.

It was a plague ghoul, a terrible monster raised by the Cursed Sect. It feeds on corpses, is agile and powerful, and carries deadly diseases on its sharp teeth and claws.

Without thinking, Tiana ripped open the magic scroll around her waist, and a burst of arcane missiles erupted, knocking the ghoul backwards and wailing.

"You gave up a rare opportunity, the Snake of Light. But it's the same with us when you die. The Cursed Clergy clutched his burned chest and said viciously, screaming as the zombies around him let out a hoarse roar and rushed towards Tiana.

Since this guy has been prepared, there must be no hole cards yet. Tiana thought to herself, and she turned and ran. The zombies were sluggish, and the ghouls were beaten into a sieve and couldn't move for the time being. As long as she was out of the Cursed Clergy's range, she could get out safely. The city is not large, but it is more than enough to hide itself.

With the sound of ominous wind in her ears, Tiana jumped to her feet, feeling like she had been hit from behind by a carriage. The silver pendant hanging around her neck shattered, and at the same time, she also used this force to fly forward six or seven meters away, narrowly avoiding the claws falling from her head.

Unsurprisingly, there isn't just one ghoul.

It's really terrible, I'm afraid I'm in big trouble this time. Tiana gritted her teeth and was covered in cold sweat. She almost broke her right leg when she landed, and her back ached fiercely. Despite this, the ghouls from the rooftops could not be struck a single blow, and landed on all fours like hounds.

It only took two breaths for the ghoul to pounce on her, Tiana could almost smell the stench of corpse in its mouth, and she only had time to raise her staff and stab it into the stinking mouth.

The ghoul's head exploded in the blinding light, and the cherry wood staff snapped in the middle. Tiana ripped open the last magic scroll, and sparks erupted, landing in the zombie horde, and immediately burst into flames.

"You can't escape!" the cursed priest's strange laughter came from the other side of the flames.

The girl turned her head sharply, only to feel that her hands and feet were cold, and she saw a pair of dark blue eyes emerge from the darkness, slowly walking in the direction of her retreat.
