Chapter 688 – : Chapter 678: Enter The City [ First Watch ]
Time flew by and another day passed in the blink of an eye.
After the treatment of several priests and doctors, his internal injuries had completely healed. The skin on his face and chest had been healed by the special medicine provided by the alchemists of the dark church, although the process of making the medicine by these alchemists was inhuman and cruel. They used living people to do experiments but the effects of the medicine were extraordinary.
Dudian called Neuss after dealing with Barton. He asked him to stay with Barton to take charge of the overall situation. The outer wall wasn’t peaceful these days, although the problem of the migration of the poor wasn’t as fierce as it was in the beginning but there was still a lot of controversy. However because of the pressure of the Holy See and the military there wasn’t too obvious.
“Don’t tell anyone that I’m going to the inner wall.”Dudian said to the two: “No matter what the problem is, calm down and wait for me to come back.”
“Yes, Master.”Barton nodded.
Neuss replied to dudian: “Master, are you going alone?”
“Two people.”Dudian said: “Don’t worry.”
Neuss didn’t say anything more.
Dudian changed into his stealth armor and put on the splitter’s blade. He left the mountain with Aisha and went to a quiet place in the suburbs, they went straight to the edge of the giant wall. There were few people near the giant wall. Most of them lived in old villages and small towns. Most of them were old people and children. The young people had left the village to work in the commercial district, at night, the village was pitch black. Only a few houses were lit up.
Dudian brought Aisha to the giant wall. He activated the broken wings on his back and grabbed Aisha’s arm to climb up the giant wall.
The wind on the giant wall was a bit strong. Aisha’s hair was blowing in the wind. She was not injured in the explosion but her clothes were burned. Her body was protected by dragon scales unlike Dudian and Gwyneth, she was directly burnt.
Dudian led her along the giant wall towards the inner wall. Along the way he looked at the gray clouds above his head and the desolate night scene outside the right wall. He could vaguely see some monsters crawling in the dark, from time to time there were sharp screams which were extremely loud in the wilderness.
Dudian’s nervous heart gradually calmed down. His eyes fell on Aisha from time to time. Her face was expressionless. There was no emotion in her pure black eyes. She seemed to be in a daze, she seemed to be thinking about something.
Dean tightened his fingers and whispered: “We will find a way to let you recover when we get to the Monster Institute.”
Aisha was silent.
Dean’s footsteps gradually sped up. Soon he saw that the wall of sighs was less than half of the giant wall. He found that the number of soldiers stationed there was less than half of what he had seen before, it seemed that the chaos in the inner wall was more serious than he had expected. It was estimated that the military had already had a difficult time dealing with it.
He lowered his body and dived over the place where the wall of sighs was erected with Aisha. They continued to move forward for more than two thousand meters before they jumped down from the giant wall and landed on the grass. He pulled Aisha into the next official road. He thought that he must not meet the pioneer woman here. He hoped that she had already touched the city.
After walking more than 30 miles along the official road, Dudian suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. He immediately stopped and looked into the distance. He saw a group of carriages. There were three carriages and more than a dozen horses. It didn’t look like an army.
When they were close enough, Dudian saw that there was a pattern totem on the three carriages. Although he hadn’t seen the pattern of the totem, but this kind of dress was very similar to the nobles in the outer wall. The armor of more than ten knights who were escorting the carriages were engraved with the same shoulder emblem as the pattern totem.
A trace of black light flashed through Dudian’s eyes. He saw the heat in the bodies of these knights and found that the strongest one was only a high-level limiter. He was relieved and walked towards the convoy.
The blonde middle-aged knight who was leading the convoy quickly noticed Dudian and Aisha on the road. He immediately pulled the rope and slowed down. he shouted: “Who is it? !”
Dean waited for him to stop and asked: “It’s so late. Where are you going?”
“Why do you care? !”The middle-aged knight shouted, he suddenly noticed Aisha. Aisha was wearing a veil. Dean had specially made a cheongsam for her. It was very suitable for her.
The middle-aged Knight’s eyes flashed with surprise as he saw Aisha’s dress. He had heard some rumors about this unique style of clothing.
Dudian noticed the change in the middle-aged Knight’s eyes: “Aren’t you afraid of being attacked by wild beasts when you leave the city at night?”
The middle-aged knight turned to look at Dudian. He was about to speak when an urgent voice came from the carriage: “Why are you still stopping? Run!”
“Yes, Master.”The middle-aged knight turned back to the carriage and respectfully nodded. He turned back to dudian: “Please step aside. There is an outbreak of the plague in the city. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Don’t go back to the city.”
“Did you come out to escape?”Dudian didn’t say anything more.
The middle-aged knight patted his mount and rode past Dudian. He led the carriage forward.
Dudian continued to lead Aisha. According to Gwyneth’s drawings, he remembered that there was a city called Carmen more than ten miles away. The Monster Institute that he was looking for tonight was in this city.
Ten minutes later, Dudian saw a fortress in the distance. It was in front of the plain. The gate of the fortress was completely open. There were some black shadows wandering in front of the gate. Although Dudian didn’t see them clearly but he recognized that they were undeads. He had seen too many of them walking in this way.
“It seems that the fortress has fallen.”Dudian’s eyes flashed. He had arranged people to poison the drinking water sources of the fortresses. It seemed that it had worked, there were still some people fighting in the fortress. At the same time there were roars and screams.
Dudian’s eyes lit up. Most of the city in front of him had turned into a sea of corpses. He didn’t know if the monster institute would be able to withstand it. However he didn’t send people to poison the water sources near the Monster Institute, if they were aware of the situation outside and used the institute as a cover they should be able to withstand it for a period of time.
After all, apart from the researchers who specialized in studying monsters, there were also some powerhouses in the Monster Research Institute.
