Chapter 378 The Sage's Trace
Hearing this, Mengdie finally understood what happened to the soldiers she just met.It's just a plague that can turn those soldiers into what they are now, which can't but be said to be very terrifying.

Hormon sighed and continued.

In less than five days, the Imperial City was almost completely paralyzed, replaced by chaos and disorder.Moreover, the royal city was not the only one affected by the plague.Even some other cities in the Empire began to see riots, chaos, and the undead.This is true even in the most remote frontiers.

Some neighboring countries or remnants of countries that had been conquered by the empire took advantage of this opportunity to rise up.For the first time, the flames of war burned inside the Luwell Empire.Fifteen days after the outbreak of the epidemic, one-seventh of the territory of the entire empire has been captured by other countries.But the good times didn't last long. Although I don't know why people in other countries won't be infected with the plague, those undead soldiers also brought them heavy losses.Some even marched into the realms of other nations in groups, making the entire continent seem to be in the shadow of chaos and death.

"This is all I can say about the current situation in the entire continent. Although many of them are my imagination, but looking at the fighting power of those undead soldiers, I can't help but make such inferences. Miss Mengdie, In fact, our luck is pretty good. Today we met only soldiers. You have never seen those magicians infected by the plague. When I came out of the village, I once encountered a rebel army of 300 people, but when When facing a fire-type undead mage I used to know, that mage suddenly rushed into the crowd of soldiers..."

"Blow up."

"A total of 300 people... 300 people were blown into plasma in an instant. After seeing that scene, I couldn't feel the sadness caused by the death of that friend. Instead... there was only fear."

Huo Meng clasped his hands together, and his two thumbs began to grope for each other uneasily.He lowered his head, and the expression of "fear" that Mengdie had never seen on the face of this bold dwarf before had surfaced unabashedly.

"Then...your people...are they also..."

Mengdie asked carefully.Her answer was Huo Meng's unwilling nod.

"Yes, a fever also appeared among my people. I don't know if it is because our relationship with the empire is not so close. The plague did not spread as fast as the empire. When I came out, there were also It's just someone with a slight fever and cough. But I'm worried that if this continues... sooner or later... things will get worse."

"So, as the mayor of the town, I have the responsibility to protect my people from this disaster. So I left the town, looking for a way to heal my people. After I arranged things properly, I left I want to go to Silver Moon King City at my current residence. With the danger of being executed by His Majesty, I also want to meet the chief priest of Dadu Church, Father Cotton, who is called the Great Sage of the World by the world."

"what!"

Sasha suddenly covered her mouth and let out a cry.Mengdie turned her head away to look at her, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Sasha swallowed her saliva and said, "Father Cotton... is the priest who blesses the honorary nuns of the Metropolitan Church for me, and is also my instructor of magical power."

Mengdie nodded, and began to recall how she saw the great sage in the village when she first met White Wolf that day.The priest felt very warm and dependable.And since he can be called a great sage, his attainments in magical power and healing skills are of course extraordinary.

But... isn't it?Since such a large plague has broken out in Wangcheng, does it mean that Father Cotton has no way to treat it?
Huo Meng didn't know that Father Cotton knew Mengdie and others, so he didn't quite understand the doubts on her face, so he could only continue to say to himself: "My lord princess, I didn't expect Father Cotton to be the princess' teacher." .Then may I ask, is Lord Sage in the empire now?"

Sasara was taken aback for a moment, and after turning her head to look at Mengdie, she faltered and said, "This...because of what happened to me...that incident, so I haven't heard from the empire for a long time...and, in our More than a month before leaving for the Yinyue marriage that day, the teacher left Wangcheng again and traveled abroad..."

Huo Meng's expression didn't look very disappointed, he sighed, and said: "As expected...it's the same as I know. I got the news that the great sage seems very impatient to stay in the royal city to enjoy a happy life, always Going out to roam. If the old man was here, I believe this plague would not be as uncontrollable as it is now..."

Mengdie was speechless.Indeed, the priest seemed to really enjoy hanging out.It was the same when we first met. At that time, she wondered why a great sage would go to such a place without an entourage. Now it seems that everything is clear.

After talking about Father Cotton, Huo Meng continued the topic: "Since Lord Sage is not here, there is no need for me to go to the Royal City. If I am tall, I will be arrested immediately. Therefore, I decided to find That wandering Father Cotton. And one day, I got news that someone once saw a man who looked like Lord Sage at the Waterfall of No Return. I was so happy that I immediately drove the boat along the other side. Starting from a river. As for the result...you know it after all.”

So far, Mengdie and the others are clear about what happened in the Luwell Empire.While listening to these words, Sasha's body began to tremble obviously due to tension.Presumably, she was worried about her father and friends.

Mengdie gently held Sasara's slightly trembling hand.Sasara was startled, and turned her head suddenly. After seeing Mengdie's gentle smile, her hands gradually stopped shaking.

"I see. I understand these things. Huo Meng, now move on to the next question. How much do you know about that black vortex in the sky?"

Huo Meng shrugged his shoulders. Once the topic left his clansmen, his expression became much more relaxed, and he said, "Well... I don't know. Since you said that there might be some monsters coming out of it, then we should leave as soon as possible It's good here. I haven't fought them, and I don't want to fight them too much after hearing what you said."

"Okay, now is the last question. Why did those townspeople run away in a hurry before I finished asking? What are they afraid of?"

Huo Meng chuckled and didn't answer.But his gaze fell on the glass oil lamp on the table...

The dark night sky, the slowly swirling vortex, and the occasional lightning across the sky.The wind runs through the town.Bringing a cold and damp.In this unlit town, only a window on the second floor of the hotel was glowing like a firefly...

"How is this going!!!"

Sudden!A voice suddenly came from the direction of the door.I saw the bartender just now holding a basin of water, looking at the glass oil lamp on the table with a distorted face.In the next moment, he ignored the water in his hand, hurriedly put down the basin, rushed to the table in two or three strides, and grabbed the oil lamp with one hand.

blow out.

In an instant, darkness enveloped the room, merging it with the darkness outside the window.Only the pair of blood-red pupils of the white wolf flickered quietly in the darkness.

But after a while, some familiar voices began to come in from the window...

"Ga. Cuckoo."

A voice squeezed out lifelessly from the throat, and the iron armor collided with each other as the footsteps moved, making a "cracking" sound.The sword in his hand was dragged backwards, across the rocky ground, and there were bursts of ear-piercing sounds!

Those things come.

And just judging from the sound, the number is definitely not a minority!

"See? That's the reason."

Huo Meng laughed, touched his axe, and came to his bedside familiarly.He pulled up a quilt to block the window, blocked the sound from the outside, and said softly: "When the Luwell Empire withdrew its troops, an army of more than 500 people seemed to have lost its way and left the mainland. Troops came to this small town. Unfortunately, they fell ill in this small town and became undead soldiers..."

"Oh my god, did you do it on purpose, you dwarf?" After blowing out the lamp, the bartender finally breathed a sigh of relief, put the oil lamp back on the table, and complained in a low voice, "You know that the sun disappears every night Afterwards, those things will come out and run around town, and you still light up the lights? Don't you know the light will attract them? What are you going to do if they rush in?"

Hormon burst out laughing, his unrestrained smile made the bartender panic again.With great difficulty, Huo Meng stopped his smile, lay down on the bed, and said, "This is indeed my fault. But don't worry, I was here a few days ago to ensure your safety. Today I have these few friends of mine Here, you can even guarantee the safety of your store! If you have nothing to do, please go away. You can’t drink or sing at night here, and you can’t light up lights to make some inventions. It’s too boring. I’m going to sleep. "

The bartender finally let out a long breath after hearing what Huo Meng said.After he cursed at the dwarf, he suddenly saw the eyes of the white wolf in the darkness!The bartender swallowed hastily, left quickly, and fled away as if flying.

Seeing the way the bartender ran away, Mengdie couldn't help but smiled wryly, and shook her head: "Brother Huo Meng, your attitude towards the savior is too high-end, right?"

Huo Meng smiled twice, and replied: "I know. But even though that guy is my savior, when I woke up that day, I found that the money, throwing ax, and magic fragments were all gone. .Do you know where I found it?"
