Vol 5 Chapter 226

"Warning: You have been harmed by the disease, causing 0 damage (of which 33 have been resisted)."

"Warning: You have been harmed by the disease, causing 0 damage (31 of which have been resisted)."

"Warning: You have been harmed by the disease, causing 0 damage (40 of which have been resisted)."

Brando suddenly stopped and called up the battle log in the retina. A pale green light screen appeared in front of him, already full of shocking system records.

He immediately raised his head. This place has entered Queens. This place is the busiest commercial area in Rusta on weekdays. There are dozens of the most famous empire chambers along the street. Those towering buildings are immersed at this moment. In the darkness and silence, every door and every window was closed, and a mist filled the street.

"Mist?" Brando suddenly raised his hand and opened it, revealing the bodies of several flying insects.

"What's wrong, sir?" Behind him, Metisha and Hipamila stopped, the latter curiously watching his movements and asked.

But the little silver elf princess stared at the colorful flying corpse in Brando's hand, without a word, with a steady light in her eyes.

"I know?" Brando asked △.

"This is a plague of pestilences. They were born in the mists of the Gray Lightfield, devouring the devil's corpses and depraved souls," Metis said quietly, "I have seen them more than once. "

"This is a larva," Brando nodded. "You haven't fully grown up. You should have seen an adult."

He narrowed his eyes and looked to the dead street ahead, knowing in his heart where Meditha had dealt with these bugs; the plague swarm was a dweller of hell, born of rotten food, usually one group was from the same parent Raw. The female parent is a giant adult worm, and there is usually only one head of a group. Plague swarms rarely leave the female parent too far, and they hardly migrate out of the gray light field.

There is one exception.

Of the twelve branches of the shepherd, the maggot lords are all worm wizards, and this shepherd controls a large number of plague swarms. As early as in the War of the Holy One, the shepherds fought with the silver elves and humans more than once, so it must be that Meditha had seen these **** visitors more than once at that time.

The maggot lord Mayad of this generation was captured by the empire decades ago and held in the depths of an underground prison in Rusta, but even Andes was bounced outside a short time ago. Will not be lonely.

"It looks like Her Majesty has encountered more than one of us."

"Are you ready to fight, Lord Lord?" Medisat asked.

"Blessing the defense spell first, these larvae will not cause us much trouble, but it is hard to say inside." Brando frowned. Every branch of the shepherd is difficult to entangle. Andesa is weak in it. Although Mayad is not strong there, it is extremely difficult to deal with.

In the game, he once dealt with the maggot lord, so he felt tricky. This is the outer periphery of the Plague Fog. In the center, the damage of the disease can reach more than 100 points per second. He is not good at praise. The poetic baptist priest couldn't do anything at all.

Right now, though, magic damage has had minimal effect on him. It may even be possible for him to fully resist the epidemic damage in the central area, but it is hard to say for Metisha and Hipamila.

He is unwilling to cause more trouble this season. His most urgent goal now was to pass through Rusta to the west to meet with other people, and confirm whether Akane was rescued. If all goes well, they can leave the empire directly.

The channel to leave the empire has been arranged long ago. The eldest son of the emperor and the northern nobles will cooperate with him fully, and they can cross the Evergreen walkway. Or bypassing the principality of Antobroz, this road is still safe-at least for now.

As for what happened to the imperial capital, in fact, it had nothing to do with him-with the Eruins, anyway, that was also the trouble of Her Majesty the Queen.

He examined the thin mist carefully, thinking that if he was lucky, he could pass directly through the edge of the mist. However, Mayad's element is the fog of the mind, not just the fog of the plague. It is easy to get lost in the fog, and it is not easy to leave.

Moreover, the other party is a psychological metamorphosis, I am afraid that may not allow several living people to leave unharmed from his fog of plague.

It's just too late to return now. The trade zone is behind. Who knows if the Silver Queen has chased it?

Hipamila escorted a defensive shield of light, but Metisha did not respond. Brando glanced at her before thinking of the silver people's immune disease. In their confrontation with the Ascaris lord, they also won Lose more and lose less.

"The blood of silver is really enviable." He could not help but sigh.

"Lord Lord is not bad," said Medishal. "It's just a poor ghost down there, where is Lord Lord's envy."

"Really, how can there be such a cute ghost?"

With her eyes wide, and her silver eyes seemed to be covered with mist, Hipamila could not help but giggled.

The atmosphere eased a lot for a while, and the three also slowed down. The queen district was a little more than two kilometers long. The entire area was composed of a main street. On both sides of the street were magnificent shops and tall buildings. The temple of the **** of business, Kronu, stands in the mist not far away. At this moment, it has become a monument-like building to commemorate the glory of the former gods.

Brando can almost see the gold inlaid on the mottled exterior wall. They are dim and gloomy, and the past scenery is not there. The Temple of Fire has not pushed it down to a large extent. Our respect, in fact, in the countryside of the empire and in many areas of Eruin, people still maintain their faith in the old gods, but they can no longer be answered.

Without a response and asylum, there is no pastor. The temple of the business **** Kronu looks like a mottled empty shell, silent for thousands of years in the mist.

In fact, there is more than silence in this temple. The whole Queens area is shrouded in death-like silence. Only the footsteps of the remaining three people are ringing on Stone Street.

The farther you go, the thicker the fog, from time to time a bug hits the light shield of Hipamila, slamming into a pool of green water. Going down the light curtain scared Miss Shenguan Huarong.

However, the little silver elf princess seemed very calm and walked almost unchanged. Only at this time could she be reminded that she was the supreme commander of an army.

Although based on human age, she was only fourteen when she became famous. But a young girl in Cardamom.

Brando had almost no chance at this time. He knew that the silence was because there was no living person in Queens. This is the area with the richest nightlife in the entire Emperor. It is close to the aristocracy. In the evening to late night, It is often the most lively time, and even nobles often sneak out to experience life. Although it is not a water carriage, it is at least not empty.

No corpse could be seen on the street, but looking at the sideways side of the road or the carriage hitting a sycamore tree understood what had happened before. The carriage's sling and lasso fell to the ground empty, and even the horse pulling the carriage had no bones.

Hipamila looked dignified.

Brando wondered where Sidney and Veronica had gone, if it had anything to do with Mayad's sudden appearance.

It was at this time that the mist in front of them suddenly buzzed apart from both sides, and a fist-sized bug rushed towards his face. Brando responded very quickly and pulled out his sword without thinking. The bug had snapped into two pieces and fell to the ground, six legs still jerking.

He bowed his head. It was found that this thing looked a bit like a beetle, with a black body, six legs as sharp as a knife, and before she spoke, "Metis" rushed to answer: "This is an adult, we are close to the mother."

Close to the mother. This shows that Mayard is close, Brando did not expect that instead of passing through the fog of the plague from the edge, he came to the center of the plague of fog.

However, when you go to this place, it means that the other party has found them, and then to evade is to deceive yourself. He simply did not take back the sword in his hand, but raised his head and glanced at it. There was a tall and majestic building in front of him. Brando thought for a moment before he realized that it was the headquarters of the patrol cavalry.

He took a moment to glance at the pale green light screen floating on the upper left of him. The damage on the combat record has indeed risen to nearly a hundred, which is slightly weaker than what he has encountered before, but he wanted to come to this era to escape from the dungeon. Mayad was not his strongest period.

"It looks like he's waiting for us there," he said, turning back to Metisha and Hipamila.

"Well," the little silver elf princess nodded, "but a little strange, sir."

"What's wrong?" Brando knew that Metisha's experience was no less than, or even more than, her own understanding of the shepherd, and she seemed to attach great importance to the latter's opinion.

"There are too few insect swarms," ​​Mediza replied softly. "Even if Mayad hides consciously, there shouldn't be only so few bugs in the fog of the plague. Besides, when we came here, we encountered an adult worm, some too It's unusual. "

Brando raised an eyebrow and noticed this. He only played with Mayad once in a limited opportunity, and he was not the main attacker at that time. The Knights of Graceius accompanying him at that time was only responsible for holding the worm. It's just a group, the Diamond Armed Guild that really focuses on it.

He recalled the experience of that battle. The fog was indeed an overwhelming swarm of worms, which was a little too different from the sparse two or three now.

"What do you think?" Brando asked cautiously as they walked forward cautiously.

"I think of a possibility," Medisa shook her head slightly, "but I'm still not sure."

Brando looked at her biting her lip, a thought flashed through her mind, and didn't ask again.

The Headquarters of the Patrol Cavalry in the mist looks like a living creature with flesh and blood. The towering fortress-like building is its spine. The city wall is its winding neck and spine. It curls up here, motionless, as if it is falling into a silent sleep. in.

There are no signs of living in the fortress, obviously all have been killed. Fortunately, the patrols have camps outside the city. The headquarters in the city usually has only one squadron of cavalry on duty, but even so, the accident was enough to shake the high empire You must know that in the inspection cavalry of the imperial capital, the children of the nobles accounted for a large proportion.

The commander of the inspection cavalry is the Earl of the Empire, second only to the extreme masters. If he was here at the time of the accident, then the Cruzs will have more fun.

The three people passed through the city gate all the way, and the hanging suspension bridge did not cause them any trouble. Then there was an empty courtyard, the front door of the manor, the corridor, the spiral ladder, and no one existed in the entire fortress, not even a lot of bugs. They encountered only a few attacks along the way, not so much the plague swarms as the individual bugs that remained after the swarms.

But the thick fog of plague that shrouded here told Brando that this was definitely the center of the plague swarm, not where it passed.

Along the way, they reached the third and top level of the fortress. This is the center of the entire patrol headquarters. In theory, the office of the Lord Earl should be here.

The internal structure of this type of military building is very similar. Brando is still familiar with the Cruz fortress. He quickly found the location of the Earl's office along the corridor. At the door of the office, he finally saw the only place in this trip. Several humans.

Exactly several corpses.

Two of them were standing in the hallway, face down, wearing the uniform of the patrol, their clothes were pale, and black blood was seeping out of them and into the thick carpet.

The other person leaned against the wall, his face was blurred, and his facial features could no longer be seen. It seemed that a hole had been punched out by something, and his dress was more gorgeous. Earl's trench coat, gold-lined breeches, boots, and the whole body They are all bits and pieces, and they wear a breastplate that is extremely luxurious.

Unfortunately, this breastplate did not save his life. There was a large hole on the left side of the breastplate, and dark red blood flowed out from it. This should be a fatal injury.

The corpse leaned his head against the back of the walnut parapet, which was smeared with blood, and his saber was scattered to one side. Brando saw the sabre and confirmed his identity.

Redness proved that this man was the commander of the inspection cavalry, a certain Count of the Empire.

Brando raised his hand, and the sword flew from the ground into his hand, then flashed, and then disappeared into the dimension hole.

Although the imperial inspection cavalry commander ’s sabre is not as good as a holy sword such as Harangia and Odysseus, it is also much more important to pass on the ancient sword, otherwise he will not pass it from generation to generation. There is no habit of leaving good things to the Empire.

There were a few plague adult insects crawling around the body of the commander of the cavalry. When Brando moved, they immediately found a strange intruder and screamed at him. But Brando hadn't started yet, and the priestess next to her stepped forward, waving the genus of mountains and rivers with her hands, a perfect home run, and directly flying these bugs out.

The bug buzzed against the wall on one side, and then shattered into a green juice.

Brando frowned, and he suddenly thought that the bugs did not come to attack themselves, but only after they had alarmed them. In fact, the closer to the mother, the more cautious the plague swarms will be, and they will attack all creatures close to this area, whether human or animal.

This is not the behavior of the plague swarm.

He couldn't help turning his head back subconsciously, but found that Meditha frowned equally, looking thoughtfully at the direction of the Empire's office not far away.

There, there was only one wooden door that had been half-broken in the thick fog.
