Journey to the Wizarding World

Chapter 294 Blackwater Town

After the refugee incident, the rest of the journey was peaceful.

Under the escort of the knights, the convoy crossed the Belal Plain. Three days later, they arrived at the border of the Swamp Principality, a small village called Blackwater Town.

The silver carriage stopped, and a knight stepped forward to open the door. Wizard Hollen straightened his collar and walked out of the carriage slowly, while Enzo followed behind him.

"Here... is the Bravo family's secular territory?"

On the ground, Enzo looked around. It was a barren and backward town. Most of the surrounding buildings were low stone houses. Refugees infected by the plague could be seen everywhere in the corners. Almost everyone had pain and numbness on their faces.

"It's just part of the territory."

Stepping on the muddy ground, Hollen had a disgusted expression on his face, and frowned, "After passing Heishui Town, you can reach [Hejian City], [Karen City] and [Crocodile Claw City], those places It is the important territory of the Bravo family."

"However, the plague first appeared from Heishui Town, so the situation here is relatively serious."

Enzo nodded slightly. Since Heishui Town was the source of the plague, it was understandable that the convoy stopped here for the first time. He walked forward slowly, scanning every corner of the barren town.

Gah!Gah! !

There was an ear-piercing sound, and on the corner of the stone house, a crow landed on it, its beak combed its feathers flexibly, and a pair of scarlet eyes glowed with bloodthirsty luster, staring at the bottom of the stone house.

In the corner, lay a skinny old man.

He had already been infected with the plague, his skin was festered in large areas, emitting a foul smell, his cloudy eyes gradually lost their luster, and after he uttered a painful whimper, his body tilted and fell down.

The crow flapped its wings and flew over excitedly.

Landing on the corpse of the plague old man, the crow opened its beak and pecked, tore off a strip of flesh from the festered skin, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Aside, Wizard Horlen frowned.

Although he regards mortals as ants, they are all of the same kind after all. When he saw the crow tearing the flesh from the corpse, he was immediately displeased. He raised his hand and gathered a ball of energy, ready to throw it over.

"Wait a minute, Wizard Hollen." Enzo suddenly said and stopped him.

Wizard Hollen raised his eyebrows, flicked his palm casually, and the energy dissipated. At the corner of the stone house, the crow was still tearing the flesh and blood from the corpse, looking extremely excited.

"Just to try the ability mastered in the Tomb of the Phantom Crow." On the spot, Enzo slowly closed his eyes.

As if an invisible force descended on the crow, the crow that was tearing flesh from the corpse suddenly remained motionless, and a gleam of humanity flashed in its scarlet eyes.

The next moment, the crow moved its head and glanced around.

It was the first time he tried to send a trace of soul to the body of the crow. Enzo had a very strange feeling. Through the eyes of the crow, he could see the scene far away.

This is one of the derivative abilities of the meditation method of "Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits", sharing souls with corvids.

Afterwards, Enzo controlled the crow, flew to the eaves, and slowly closed his eyes. A strange feeling emerged, and pictures kept flashing in his mind.

That is the memory that belongs to this crow!
Having experienced [-] phantom worlds in the Tomb of the Phantom Crow, Enzo was already familiar with the current scene. Using the function of the chip, he quickly recorded all the crow's memories.

From hatching, crow stage, flying away from the nest.
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Enzo's heart moved. The memory of the crow stayed in the night a few months ago. At that time, there was no plague in Heishui Town. The crow landed on the corner of a stone house, quietly watching everything.

Under the night, by the well in the center of the town.

A thin figure appeared furtively, took out a bottle of unknown liquid from his body, poured it all into the well, and then left quietly in the dark.

Under the afterglow of the moonlight, on the blurred faces of the figures, the weird totems painted with oil are extremely clear!

"It turns out that this plague was deliberately created by someone?" Enzo opened his eyes on the spot, and a flash of light flashed in them. The crow on the eaves in the distance, after losing the control of the soul, seemed a little frightened and immediately flopped. Fly to the sky with wings.

"Have you found anything? Your Excellency Enzo." Aside, wizard Huoran asked.

"If my guess is correct, there should be someone behind this plague." Enzo said, but before he finished speaking, there was a sound of horseshoes at the entrance of Heishui Town.

"It's the cavalry of the Bravo family." Hollen looked at it, and a cavalry team appeared at the entrance of the town not far away, carrying a flag with a pattern of thorns and flowers on it.

After the cavalry team appeared in Heishui Town, a knight who looked like a leader immediately got off his horse, walked quickly to the front of Wizard Hollen, knelt down on one knee and said, "Potter, the commander of the Hejian City Legion, see Master Hollen! "

"Get up." Hollen asked indifferently, "The cavalry from Hejian City, what are you doing in Heishui Town? Don't you guys know that the plague is spreading?"

Legion Commander Potter got up and said respectfully, "I tell Lord Horlen that I was ordered by the lord of Hejian City, Odori, to come to Blackwater Town to clean up the corpses that died due to the plague."

"Clean up the corpses that died from the plague?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, my lord." Potter explained, "During this period, the plague in Blackwater Town has become more and more serious, and the civilians in the town have almost died. If the corpses are left unattended, it will only speed up the spread of the plague! "

"So, we need to deal with the corpses in a unified way and transport them to the corpse pit in the wilderness near Hejian City for burial!"

"Why not burn the body on the spot?" Enzo was a little puzzled.

This time, there was no need for Potter to answer, Wizard Hollen took the initiative to speak, and sighed, "The efficiency of doing that is too slow. Ever since the plague appeared in Blackwater Town, countless people have died in the surrounding area in half a year." , can’t be burned at all, so they can only be transported to a deep pit in the wilderness for burial.”

"So that's the case." Enzo nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Legion Commander Potter began to direct his subordinates to carry the corpses from Heishui Town onto carts one after another, intending to transport them to the corpse pit outside Hejian City for burial before dark.

"Let's get out of here too."

Wizard Hollen's face was solemn, and he said, "Although Blackwater Town is the source of the plague, this kind of town is not important to the Bravo family. The place that really needs to solve the plague as soon as possible is Hejian City." .”

"Yes, but please wait a moment."

Enzo nodded. Before leaving Blackwater Town, he ordered his two cavalrymen to go to the well in the center of Blackwater Town to get some water and seal it in a test tube, and then followed Hollen to River City.
