It takes time to assemble the army, so Reinhard took a few generals to head to the location where the scouts found the body.
Renn and others were also curious and followed Reinhardt there.
On the side of the mountain road ahead, we found several corpses, all bleeding from their orifices and dying miserably.
The blood flowing from the corpse was black and had an unpleasant smell.
There were three deceased persons in total, they seemed to be a couple with a child.
Judging from their painful expressions and the strange shapes of their corpses, there was a fierce struggle before death.
Charlotte and her sisters, including Melody and Abigail, were shocked to see the tragic state of the bodies and felt sad for the family.
Reinhard frowned and wanted to take a closer look.
"Your Highness!" Nix quickly stopped him, "The situation is unknown, so don't put yourself in danger."
"Let me do it!" Bishop Jerug took a step forward and approached the body to investigate carefully.
Reinhard and Renn waited quietly, keeping their mouths shut so as not to disturb the bishop.
After a while, Bishop Yerug turned around and said: "Based on the clues on the corpses, this family did die from poison! I have seen similar death situations many times, and I can confirm that the cause of their death was a poisonous weed called devil's ivy.
!”
"Devil vine? Who poisoned them? For what?" Reinhard asked with a frown.
"There are too few clues left. There are no traces of other people around, so it's hard to judge!" Yerge shook his head.
"Is it a vendetta?" Reinhard guessed, "Who is so cruel that he won't even spare a child?"
"It's impossible to determine at the moment!" Yerge sighed. "It is necessary to ask the nearby residents about the identities of these three corpses and investigate their interpersonal relationships!"
"Your Highness!" Virut raised his head and said, "We should rush to Star-Moon City as soon as possible. We can just leave this matter to the officials of Star-Moon City for investigation. It is their responsibility in the first place and there is no need for your personal intervention!"
"Your Highness, General Virut is right!" Nix nodded in agreement, "Of course someone will handle such a small matter."
Yerge immediately retorted after hearing this: "The devil vine comes from the abyss, and it is unreasonable to appear in Star-Moon City! This matter is big or small, and we cannot take it lightly!"
"That's right!" After hearing the bishop's words, Reinhard said immediately, "If it is related to the abyss demon, the appearance of evil forces in Nangris will cause a devastating blow to us. We must find out this matter in advance!
The village shouldn't be far away, let's go there together!"
When it comes to the Abyss, Virut and Nix no longer object, and they also know the seriousness of the emergence of the Abyss Demon.
So the team moved forward along the road and quickly moved towards nearby villages.
While traveling, he heard the sound of painful shouts nearby. Reinhardt quickly turned to Knicks: "Go over and take a look! Stay safe!"
"Yes!" Nix quickly rushed to the source of the sound with several guards.
Two male villagers were found behind a big rock at the intersection. They were also bleeding from all their orifices. They looked very painful. They were struggling and rolling on the ground and wailing.
When Nick saw this, he quickly shouted: "There are two more poisoned villagers here, and they are still alive!"
"Bishop!" Reinhard immediately looked at Jerug.
Needless to say, Yerug left the carriage as quickly as possible and ran towards the poisoned villagers.
When he arrived in front of the villagers, he saw the two people who were obviously poisoned and struggling in pain. As a priest, Yerug decisively used purification treatment.
Purification treatment can dispel most negative conditions, including curses, poisoning, confusion, etc.
Yerug was unable to bring the corpse back to life, but he still tried his best to face the poisoned villagers.
With his seventh-level priest's strength, as long as he is timely enough, he can dispel the poison of the devil vine without any problem.
These two villagers were lucky enough to meet Bishop Yerge. Priests below the seventh level had basically no solution to the poison of devil vine.
The toxins in the body were eliminated, the faces of the two villagers gradually recovered, the painful expressions finally disappeared, and their breathing became calmer.
When he regained consciousness, he quickly stood up and bowed to Bishop Yerug: "Master Pastor, you saved our lives, thank you so much! Please show mercy, there are many people in the village waiting for rescue like us!"
"Where did you come into contact with the devil vine?" Yerug asked.
"Devil's vine?" The two villagers looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "I don't know! Is the poison in us called devil's vine?"
Seeing that they knew nothing, Reinhard quickly asked: "How did you get poisoned?"
Hearing the sound, the villagers turned around and saw Reinhard startled. They kneeled to the ground reflexively: "Your Highness Reinhard?"
Compared with the low-key Bishop Jerug, Reinhardt is more well-known because he often travels around the country and many border people know him.
"Answer my question!" Reinhard asked loudly, "How did you get poisoned?"
"Your Highness, we don't know either!" the villagers replied, "Everyone is just like usual. Someone suddenly died of poisoning a few days ago, and people have been poisoned one after another in the past few days. Now the people in the village are panicked."
"Have there been any uninvited guests in the village recently, or anyone unknown nearby?"
"No!"
"Your Highness!" Jerug interrupted the conversation and said to Reinhard, "There are other people in the village who have been poisoned. Let's rush there first. If we delay for a second, more people may die!"
"Yes!" Reinhard quickly ordered, "Go to the village immediately and don't delay rescuing people!"
The convoy accelerated and quickly rushed to the border villages of Xingyue City.
I saw several more corpses on the road, but it was too late to treat them.
As we drove all the way to the village, we could hear all kinds of wails and cries for help before we even entered, including the cries of grief after the death of a loved one.
The two rescued villagers got out of the car and ran into the village, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty Reinhard is here! Your Majesty is here to save us!"
People in the village immediately gathered and came out to greet him.
They brought the poisoned people over, and some held their dead family members, and faced Reinhardt's convoy begging for help.
Only Bishop Jerug in the team could save people. Reinhard asked him to hurry up and treat the poisoned villagers. He then personally explained to the villagers who brought their dead family members for help that no matter how powerful Bishop Jerug was, he could not bring the dead back to life, so he asked these villagers to quickly treat the dead.
The body was burned and buried to avoid accidental exposure to highly toxic poisons.
Then they asked the villagers about the situation and asked about the situation before and after the poisoning incident and whether they had any clues.
The villagers recalled carefully that everything seemed to be normal, there were no suspicious persons, and there were no relevant clues.
As for the cause of the poisoning, nothing is known.
Reinhardt asked the villagers to cooperate in investigating the source of the poison. Virut and Nix participated, and also asked Ren and others to assist.
Ren agreed and took the people around him to visit the village and conduct a careful investigation.
