The vision at night was extremely poor, so after the battle, the progress of sorting out the battlefield and dealing with the wounded was much slower due to light problems. Akasha did not have infinite magic power and could not always use the "Holy Light Technique" to illuminate the soldiers. Therefore, it took more than two hours to just pile up and burn the corpses of the ghouls.

Fortunately, with the help of the "Ring of Purification", the cavalry were not at risk of being infected with the plague. After everything was cleaned up, the team set off on their way back at midnight.

The cavalry raised their torches and marched slowly in the woods. At the current speed, they might have to walk for an hour before they could return to Hollier City.

However, at this time, Roddy had nothing important. He was riding on the horse and glanced at the mission [Judgement of the Throne of Bone], thinking carefully about clues about the "plague". However, after recalling the details of the mission, Roddy found that "history" was out of touch with everything he was facing: the problem of low plague mortality rate is really strange. If it is just to make people sick, what is the point of doing this?

He couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

Akasha was stunned and dazed at the war horse next to her. She was thinking about the words Sally said to her, and she was distracted without realizing it. Roddy turned her head and wanted to talk to her for a few words, but when she saw her silent appearance, she thought the corpses of the ghouls made her uncomfortable, so she closed her mouth and turned her attention to the undead pharmacist who was tied into rice dumplings and threw them on the horse's back.

The Knight Wellington was not polite to the undead. His body was beaten like a twisted doll. His arms and legs were folded back, and the "Light Chain" with a light golden light was tied to his mouth, leaving him with no chance to cast spells at all. Roddy looked over and thought the other party would struggle with anger, but he didn't expect the pharmacist to be quiet and weird.

As if he noticed Roddy's gaze, the other party's head turned slightly, and a stiff smile suddenly appeared on his pale cheeks.

“Ho…ho…”

His laughter was like a leaky bellows, which made people shudder in the dark night. Roddy frowned and said, "Augustin was suppressed by parliament?"

These words made the other party's eyes look a little shocked, but he quickly covered it up and continued to smile there.

"Faranil has been worrying a lot about this plague. Do you think I don't know about this?"

Roddy continued to throw another "bombshell", which made the undead laughter stop. The corners of the other party's mouth twitch a few times, then turned his head and no longer had any reaction.

Roddy was not interested in interrogating the other party now, so he took out the only three remaining "mutant magic crystal fragments" and studied them, ignoring the undead captives.

As time passed, the team moving in the night arrived at the city of Hollier, which was imposing a curfew.

The streets were empty, and occasionally you could see soldiers patrolling the Duke's Mansion holding torches. Roddy turned around and saw the slowly closed city gate. He felt no worries in his heart: the undead were caught in one net, the source of the plague was destroyed, and the mission was not given a time limit. At this time, everything was stable under the city blockade, and it seemed that nothing unexpected happened.

He yawned and confirmed that Nokia was in the forest outside the city. He checked the list and asked Keda Duck to stand by nearby, and then planned to go back and have a good night's sleep, and then went to look for other clues about the undead plague after getting up.

The team disbanded and rested after arriving at the mansion. Because the Duke was tired, no one disturbed him to rest. Wellington greeted Roddy and dragged the undead prisoner to the dungeon. Roddy looked at his back and vaguely heard the laughter coming from the dark street again...

"Maybe this guy is crazy."

Roddy said to Akasha beside him, then entered the mansion, and asked the servant beside him casually as he walked: "Why didn't you see Butler John?

"Previously, Lord John asked us to go back and rest, and now he should go to bed too..."

"Oh, then...whether that-Sally?"

After Roddy asked, glanced at Akasha and found that she turned her head and looked to the side, which made her unable to see the look on her face.

"Miss Sally has rested."

"oh…"

Roddy breathed a little relieved when he heard this reply. His mood was very complicated, and he felt that the two of them could try to avoid meeting as little as possible, but then he felt a little indescribable loss in his heart. However, when he thought of Akasha, he tried hard to put these distracting thoughts behind him, and led by the servant to go back to his room to rest.

The tired Roddy almost fell asleep while touching the bed. She slept very peacefully, but after only four or five hours, he was awakened by the slightly noisy sound outside the door.

Because of lack of sleep, Roddy woke up and was exhausted. The sky outside the window was slightly bright, and it seemed that there was still half an hour before sunrise. Roddy opened the curtains, put on a casual robe, pushed open the door and looked at it, and found that there were many servants in the corridor.

"What happened?"

"Ro... Lord Roddy, Housekeeper John was attacked"

"What?"

This sentence made Roddy lose sleep for a moment. He turned around and picked up the short sword on the weapon rack and rushed out. As he walked, he asked, "Where is someone else? How are you doing now

"On the first floor, I've been in a coma..."

Hearing this, Roddy quickly knocked on Akasha's door, then pulled the little priest downstairs.

The atmosphere in the mansion suddenly became tense, and Roddy was nervous. After seeing John being carried to the ground, he breathed a little relieved - the health points showed that the butler had no worries about his life.

"Akasha, treat it."

The holy light fell, and John quickly woke up. However, after opening his eyes, the butler immediately shouted: "Someone in the mansion attacked me."

“Where is it?”

Roddy asked with a squinted eye.

John glanced around, reached out to touch the swollen part of the back of his head, and replied, "Near... near the dove cage, just after I went to deliver a letter to the Duke..."

After he finished speaking, the two maids next to him took a breath together. Roddy turned around and asked, "What's the problem?"

"But Mr. John went to deliver the letter in the afternoon...but he was still giving us orders in the evening."

"I still remember you asked us to go back and rest. It was almost midnight..."

The expressions of the two maids were not like fakes. Roddy also remembered that this was the servant's answer when he came back last night - such a strange thing suddenly made him realize that something was not right...

"Where is Sally? Who saw her?"

He suddenly stood up and asked loudly to the servants around him.

"Miss, she went back to rest very early last night..."

“Not seen…”

"No, this is not right."

Roddy's face suddenly changed, and she turned around and rushed towards the second floor. He jumped past the seven or eight steps and rushed to the room on the second floor. He suddenly pushed open the door and then found that Sally's bedroom was empty and there was no sign of him...

An unprecedented panic suddenly appeared in his heart. Roddy immediately remembered the gloomy smile on the face of the undead captain. He clenched his teeth and immediately came downstairs to ask John to order a thorough investigation of the mansion, and ask Akasha to light up the ring to confirm that there are no undead among the servants.

Then Roddy frantically searched for traces that might be left in the mansion, but after asking, no one knew who had left the mansion...

At this time, the two great knights rushed to the mansion after hearing the news. After asking, Titus slapped his forehead and said in surprise: "Isn't that John last night? He asked me to go to the monastery to deliver the letter. Could it be to lure me away?"

"It must be so, someone pretended to be in a seamless way to disguise the Housekeeper John and took Sally away."

Taking a deep breath, Roddy clenched her fists and tried to calm herself down, but her fingertips pierced her palms - the anger was second, Roddy's most thought at this time was regret...

If I had known this, why would I have insisted that Sally stay...

But there is no medicine for regret in this world. The severe pain in his palm made Roddy wake up a little. He turned to ask Wellington and said, "Take me to see the undead, maybe only he can know something now."

Three minutes later, Rodie, who pushed open the dungeon gate, came straight to the undead who was hanging by iron chains, and pinched the other party without any nonsense:

"Tell me everything you know...just."

The undead, along with the four or five more than ten kilograms of hammer balls on his body, was lifted up. Wellington and Akasha, who followed Roddy into the dungeon, looked at each other, both of whom were scared by the anger he had never had before...

At this time, Roddy was completely a beast that could lose control at any time.

“Ho…ho…ho.”

The cold laugh echoed in the cage, but Roddy no longer had the patience to play any psychological tactics with him. He raised his right hand and punched him in the other person's face.

"Click"

Roddy's current attribute power has long exceeded that of an ordinary person. This punch almost cracked the opponent's skull. With the huge impact, the undead's head "sniffed" and smashed a large crack in the stone wall behind.

"What have you all done? What are the arrangements in Hallier City?"

Roddy's tone was steady, without any irritation, but the anger suppressed under the surface seemed to make the air around him extremely cold.

"You guys are... late...ha, ha, ha..."

The undead could not feel the pain, and he still maintained the nervous smile on his twisted face, whispering to laugh at the angry but powerless Roddy.

"Fuck you"

Roddy could no longer hold it back and kicked the other person in the abdomen.

With a "boom", countless dust and fragments fell from the ceiling, and the other party's spine was kicked to pieces by this slumber... But like a pool of mud, the undead limping there, still maintaining a strange smile. The gray eyes stared at Roddy, and the words were repeated in a low voice.

"You... are too late."

"Akasha, use that ring."

"He can no longer bear the light of the ring, and he may die in less than three seconds."
