When Ankka and Livwe arrived at their destination with a group of warriors, they found that the dark clouds had begun to dissipate, and Ankka had no choice but to drive the wyvern down.

After landing, the crowd was shocked by what they saw, and the side of the road was full of plucked people, hanging upside down from the cross, blood already soaking the ground beneath them.

As Ankka was about to step forward to see if they were alive, she was stopped by Livwe and said, "They're dead, their blood is drained and there are signs of beast bites. ”

Ankh said: "How did so many people die, it seems that there must be a lot of people doing this. ”

As the group continued along the Crimson Path, Ankka felt a subtle fluctuation in his soul.

Upon walking over, he found the tallest soldier tied up, his uniform tossed to the ground, soaked in blood, and his skin only half stripped off, causing him not to be completely dead, his skin drooping downward, and feeling a sharp pain in the slightest wind.

Ankh stepped forward and took down the sign from his cross and handed it to Livwe, who looked embarrassed.

But soon Livour regained her smile and crouched down and asked, "Is this true?" ”

The soldier nodded slightly.

"Do you know who is doing these things? What does it look like? ”

The soldier shook his head slightly, and the moment he shook his head, his flesh instantly disintegrated and fell to the ground.

Livour pretended to be surprised, sitting on the ground and screaming, looking at Ankka, who didn't react, Ankka had felt a powerful magic fluctuation from Livvi just now, so Ankka, although a little surprised, was not too panicked because she was prepared.

Anka said calmly: "It's a pity that I haven't asked much yet, maybe I don't know anything?" ”

Livwe got up and regained her composure and said, "This is the last one, maybe we can follow the main road all the way and maybe we will get something." ”

"There are not a small number of people who commit such crimes, and they probably don't walk on the main roads so conspicuously, I think they should hide in nearby villages or forests."

"It's a bit hard to find that way."

Livwey pointed to the smoky forest in the distance and said, "There's a lot of ash there, maybe it's the starting point of the disaster, there's a lord's castle nearby, maybe we should go there and see if there's any information." ”

Ankha nodded and agreed.

The crowd soon found themselves in front of the ruined castle, which was made of stone and left more traces than the village, and found twisted writing woven from the skins of the original hall from the original hall.

Livwe felt a slight flow of magic in it and asked, "Is this a magic circle?" ”

Ankh nodded and said, "This should be a hellish text, which translates to speed." ”

"I didn't expect Your Excellency to write in hell."

"I just found it on the battlefield and handed it to the Holy Maiden for translation, and I had the privilege of reading the Dictionary of Translations for the First Volume compiled by the Holy Maiden."

"And what does this speed mean?"

"I remember that there are a lot of spells that can be composed of speed, but unfortunately there is only one speeder here, I guess they should want to open a certain portal in an instant through the soul fluctuations caused by such a bad spell, but in the end, it may be because of the lack of human skin or some other reason that the spell fails."

Livwe stepped forward and touched one of the skins with her saber, and found that it had become as slimy as it was glued to the ground.

Ankh looked at the slightly clumsy words of hell engraved around her and said, "I have a sense of foreboding. ”

Before Ankka could speak, Livwe turned back to the soldiers behind her and said, "Quick! Let's immediately inform the surrounding lords and ask them to send more people to search and take precautions! ”

After everyone had arranged everything, Ankha stood on the fortress and said to Livve, "Do you really need to stay here yourself?" ”

"These nobles are frightened now, they were brought up by me personally, I need to set an example for them, I will let them know that I have not left them behind."

"If you don't want to leave the crowd and the general public, I'll think you're a good person," Anka said. ”

"Am I not a good person now?"

"You are a good man for the nobles you support, but for the serfs! It's a bastard. ”

Livvi chuckled and said, "If helping those people would have given me more benefits, I think I would have done that, but remember that everything I do is for my own benefit, and I don't take sides!" As long as someone is in my favor, the enemy can become a friend in an instant, just like you. ”

Ankka looked at her for a while and felt that her eyes were different from those of the Holy Maiden, although she was very tolerant and gentle, but her heart must have been extremely terrifying, Ankka felt like she was staring at an unfathomable crater when she looked into her eyes, and a cold feeling instantly hit her body.

Ankha said, "Since you want to be stationed here, please allow me to come along!" ”

In Anka's heart, although Livvi is not a normal ruler, she is considered a relatively moderate Karan ruler that Ankka has seen, and if she dies and allows other radical Karan rulers to come to power, it is likely to destroy the fragile peace between the two countries, so Ankh can only guarantee that she will not die, but not now.

By night, Livvi had commanded a thousand soldiers scattered across the three surrounding castles, leaving only about 300 men in her own castle.

What intrigued Ankka about these soldiers was that they were different from normal soldiers, they were dressed in black towers, full body armor, well-equipped, and did not suffer from any malnutrition.

Livwe said proudly, "These are the elite of sons elected by various noble families who are handed over to the council, because their home education will never have the same dirty things as other soldiers. ”

Ankh said with some disdain, "Is it your way to rule by letting only some people get the best education and equipment?" ”

"That's right! Why should we educate everyone? As long as a part of the forces loyal to us can get the best knowledge, even if those people below want to resist in the future, they will not be able to communicate efficiently just because of the different accents in different places, and there is no way to write and read, and these points alone can control the flame of resistance to a minimum. ”

Ankh looked disgusted, and Livwe leaned over and asked, "I heard that you are implementing compulsory education and universal military service in your country, how is it going?" ”

After hearing this, Anka sighed and said: "The national military service is making good progress, but unexpectedly, there is an inequality of resources in compulsory education, and I don't know how to deal with it." ”

"Need I give you something?"

"The solution you propose must be to sacrifice some people to achieve another!"

Livwe nodded appreciatively and said, "Isn't that right?" All people are born with a fixed future, and they should not be allowed to be involved in other classes without permission. ”

"Everyone has the right to choose their own future, and I don't want to give up anyone, and no one can give up."

"Do you want to teach the illiterate cades in a few years a very advanced knowledge?"

"There is also a genius like Sodeyith among us, and I think the people of Kades are definitely no worse than people from other countries."

"Really? Without you, they might not even be able to unify, and you are qualified to be the King of Cades. ”

Ankka didn't respond directly, just looked at her with mixed emotions and walked back to the room silently.
