The icy winter set off gusts of cold wind, and the exhaled breath turned into a white mist, and ordinary infected people would hardly approach it, as if they were afraid of something.

The architecture of the Conjurer's Guild is still exquisite, and the room is faintly lit with a faint light, outlining a silhouette of an alien shape, which probably does not look like a human being.

The streets of Bluestone Road, which are filled with a strange atmosphere, can still smell those bloody smells, and it can be vaguely seen that there is a certain connection between the patrolling infected people, and they act in an organized manner.

It was the first time he heard the infected say that he could help them, Jiang Chenchuan was slightly surprised, he couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was, but at least, their next actions would not be clueless.

There was movement outside the house, and the infected had to take them deeper into the house, as he introduced himself.

"My name is Da Silva, and I used to be a member of the Conjurer's Guild, yes, the one you were looking for, but then, a mysterious curse erupted in a big way, and everyone was trapped in the city."

Da Silva explained to them.

"Conjuretor's Guild!"

Therefore, everything happened by accident, and it was just a coincidence of fate.

"Yes, so I was a little surprised when I knew your purpose, but I believe in you."

Da Silva pointed to the room, lit the light, and invited the two of them to enter, the room was filled with all kinds of books and some instruments that could only be used in alchemy.

Seeing that Jiang Chenchuan was observing the surrounding environment, he opened his mouth to explain to them:

"This is my usual study, since Ronalk locked down the city, I rarely leave the house, plus I have a certain understanding of curses, so I have made certain modifications to the techniques on my body."

Da Silva explained as he lifted his clothes to show Jiang Chenchuan the lines of the curse on his body.

The patterns of those spells were different from those on other infected, so it was no wonder that he still retained some of his human features.

I thought he was in the early stage of infection, but I didn't expect him to be a terminal patient.

"So, there aren't a few people in the city who can modify the curse spell like you now?"

Jiang Chenchuan reacted immediately.

Therefore, it should be the same curse, and the infected with different situations have also appeared with different abilities and different degrees of existence.

"Yes, sir."

Da Silva's answer confirmed Jiang Chenchuan's thoughts.

"It is precisely because the essence of this plague is a curse and the spread of spells that it will appear......

Da Silva's eyes looked out the window, and he followed his gaze, which was the direction of the so-called king, inhabited by noble nobles and strong soldiers.

"So, those mutated infected people are not an accident...... It's ......."

Baras understood what Da Silva meant, and that the Conjuregers Guild had no way to solve the curse of the contagion, and unlike the witch's change, they chose to use the curse to make themselves stronger.

With greater power, you can continue to maintain your old position.

"If it's a curse that even the magicians can't solve......

If you want to rely on Ethan's ability, the solution from the perspective of alchemy seems to be slim.

"It's not that it's completely unsolvable, but even if there is a way to solve it...... With the current situation of all the people in the city being infected, there is no solution to it."

Da Silva sighed, and there was more helplessness in his tone.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Chenchuan caught some information that was not quite right.

"Forget it, I'll tell you, in fact, in the early stage of the curse on the infection, the spell has not been fully established, and there is a way to solve it, whether it is changing the spell or reversing the magic circle, it can play some role more or less......

Da Silva said slowly.

"But at that time, there was a sudden explosion in the city, and

There were many incidents of malicious wounding, and those citizens who thought they were hopeless began to wantonly harm others through the malice of the curse, so soon, the spread of the curse exploded at an uncontrollable speed."

"And then?"

Now, all they knew before was a few words, and the truth about the real outbreak in the city had only scratched some surfaces.

Hearing the pause, Barras couldn't help but urge.

"At that time, everyone was in danger, and no one cared about the so-called order and rules, you know, the power of the infected people in the early stage of mutation was much stronger than that of ordinary humans, and they also had human consciousness, so naturally there were some people who wanted to move some crooked thoughts......

Tragedy often happens between desires.

Through Da Silva's words, they seemed to be able to see that the city of Ronalk had lost order at that time, and the crumbling throne had challenged the status of the nobles like never before.

"So, there was a group of self-defeating organizers who encouraged the chaotic infected to take advantage of the opportunity to shake the king's authority, and at that time, the witch cult decided to leave Ronalk City, and the top conjuretors in the city accepted the king's invitation to study how to solve this outbreak of curses......

Da Silva seemed to have experienced all this, and his tone was oozing with sadness and regret.

"It's a pity that before they could figure out a solution, they were caught off guard by the infected...... After that battle, the lucky ones died directly, and the unfortunate ones were injured and became the new infected."

It's almost a tragic night, I'm afraid, to be able to blockade Ronalk City, and it is also the final decision for Wang Neng.

"People are creatures, it's so magical, they originally wanted to solve the curse wholeheartedly, but once they were infected with the curse, that mentality changed, although we have to admit that the curse will affect people's minds to a certain extent, but in the final analysis, it is human nature that makes decisions."

"Nature......

Jiang Chenchuan seemed to remember something, and sighed inexplicably.

As long as you are living on the edge of life and death, it seems that you have a particularly deep understanding of the word nature.

Human beings are complex and changeable, but selfishness will never change, fear of power and desire to have, hatred of oppression but can become an oppressor.

Who can hide from nature?

I'm afraid, very few.

"Later, the Spellcasters' Association collapsed due to the gradual increase in the number of infected people, and the focus was on fighting each other, and the curse became a tool for them to increase their own power."

Da Silva spoke softly.

"So, over time, no one pays attention to how to solve the curse, but how to use the curse, sit in your position, and even gain more power."

"What we see now, the king and the nobles locked themselves in that place, and the rest of the infected took over most of the city, and drove and slaughtered those normal ordinary people?"

After listening to what Da Silva said, Jiang Chenchuan had a certain understanding of the current situation.

"The situation in Ronalk City now, that's probably it, the nobles have their own places to live, and they don't bother with the ordinary infected, but most of the area here is controlled by those soldiers, their bodies are stronger than the ordinary infected, and they can live longer, if we encounter them, they will try to avoid meeting each other."

"No wonder you're hiding."

Barras nodded, the destructive power of those soldier infected was vastly different from that of ordinary infederates.

"After all, their curses have been modified, and it is not easy for us to live, so we can cause as little trouble as possible."

Da Silva said this, but he had enough of these days of daily fear.

Jiang Chenchuan's appearance was an accident, but maybe it would also be an opportunity for change.

"Can you find the source?"

Jiang Chenchuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"What...... Source? No, no, no, none of us know who the first infected person was."

Hearing this, Da Silva looked puzzled, and he could only answer according to his own understanding.

"No, not the first infected, but the place where the curse first erupted."

"Region?"

Da Silva held his chin and pondered for a moment, his mutated fingers tapping abnormally on the table, and thought for a long time before he replied:

"I don't know about this, it seems to be...... The festival ...... piece."

"You mean...... The Rite of the Holy Maiden?"

Jiang Chenchuan remembered that he had been to that place before.

"yes, yes, it seems like that...... By the way, what do you want to know about this?"

Only then did Da Silva react, Jiang Chenchuan seemed to know too much about the situation in Ronalk City, would a stranger who had never been to the city know about the "Holy Maiden's Sacrifice"?

"Mr. da Silva, we're here to settle the curse, if we can...... There's one thing I'd like to ask you to help me with."

"What's busy?"

Da Silva had been disgusted with such days for a long time, and if he could solve this oppressive and hopeless city, he would naturally be willing to help, not to mention, because of the changes he had made in himself, the mind affected by the curse was also smaller.

"I have an item that I need your help keeping."

Jiang Chenchuan smiled slightly, lifted the relic recovery box in his hand, and placed it on the table in front of Da Silva.

There was no need to go to Dorotia's house, their first stop was the Feast of the Holy Maiden.

All kinds of strange moods were suppressed in Baras's heart, and he shuttled through the streets and alleys with Jiang Chenchuan, and since he had a clear goal, even his movements became much faster.

While evading the pursuit of the inhabited, they also have to find some terrible relics.

No one knows how complicated his state of mind is, from the beginning of curiosity and exploration, to the current fear and trembling, looking down at his bound wrist, he can only secretly say in his heart, "It's really unlucky".

Especially the feeling that Jiang Chenchuan gave him, from the moment Cong's sneak attack failed, he had a feeling of suffocation that someone was choking his neck.

Looking at the dilapidated houses around them, a few rotting black corpses could be seen from time to time, the walls were crawling with mold, and the air was harsh from the cold.

"Shh......h

Jiang Chenchuan suddenly stopped.

From the street next door, there was a sticky creeping sound, and every step was a "snapping" sound.

New infected?

Seeing the appearance of the monster clearly, he couldn't help but feel bored for a while, vaguely with the outline of a human form, but he had lost the qualification to live a normal life.

The head looked around, its opening and closing places constantly making snoring sounds, and it clutched a worn-out dagger in its hand, searching for its prey in hiding like a hunter.

"Gollum ......"

Jiang Chenchuan watched it approach in his direction, raised his hand and shook it, signaling Ballas to step back.

Obviously, Jiang Chenchuan didn't want to fight with it, and Barras stepped back step by step, but he felt something stepped on under his feet, and made a crisp "click" sound.

The voice was so clear in such a quiet environment that it even made the infected person turn his head suddenly.

Fortunately, there was a corner to cover it, and it was not directly seen, but listening to its approaching footsteps, Barras secretly screamed in his heart.

"Squat."

Jiang Chenchuan suddenly whispered for no reason.

"What?"

Ballas looked confused.

However, after all, it was Jiang Chenchuan who said it, although he didn't understand it, he still did it.

Even as they dodged, the infected were still approaching, almost around the corner, and they could even see its exposed toes.

"Roaring ......"

With a roar, a huge black shadow leaped down from the rooftop, and its huge body directly pounced on it

Fell to the ground.

"Yes...... Soldier ......"

"Sure enough......"

As Jiang Chenchuan guessed, there are also irreconcilable contradictions between the infected and the incommodated, although I don't know why, but the two infected people who fought just provided them with the opportunity to escape.

"Let's go! Go the other way!"

Jiang Chenchuan commanded.

The journey to the festival was tortuous and arduous, and listening to the screams and screams behind them, and the blood-covered dead faces, it was understandable why da Silva was reluctant to act with them.

"So, why are you so familiar with Ronalque?"

"What?"

Jiang Chenchuan turned his head suspiciously, looked at Barras's face, and signaled that he would make less noise while he was still lurking.

After turning two streets away from the danger, Barras dared to relax a little and gasp for air.

Looking at the streets where he had lived in the illusion for several years, and the scenes of things and people, Jiang Chenchuan planned the next route in his heart.

"Walk ...... here"

Jiang Chenchuan said in a low voice.

Baras didn't dare to say anything, now following Jiang Chenchuan was his only means of survival, having seen Jiang Chenchuan's horror, he didn't believe that any other infected person could hurt him.

The young infected don't yet know what their true fear is.

At the thought of this, Barras was relieved.

Following Jiang Chenchuan on a new path, the scene in front of him seemed to have been swept by a hurricane, broken stones were scattered randomly, and the corpses all over the ground revealed the tragic stories that had happened here.

The rich smell of blood mixed with the smell of rust, combined with the icy cold wind, made people feel suffocated.
