It had been three days since they arrived in Gabi City. During these three days, Melissa had not been able to sleep well.

The five-man team had come here to gather information but had instead found the entire city lifeless. There was not even a normal restaurant to eat at, let alone a hotel to stay in.

“Lord Melissa, I remember that Gabi City has always been a very prosperous town!”

“Why has it become like this!”

Melissa looked around to make sure that there was no one around before she stopped.

“I can’t answer you as well!”

“I only come here once every few years. And when I came the previous time, Gabi was a city with a population of one million!”

“It’s only been a few years, and now the entire city has become a slum!”

In the middle of the city, they finally found a place for five people to live.

Pushing the door open, a cloud of dust flew into the air.

“Cough cough!”

“What on Earth happened in this ghost city?!”

The five people in the team immediately cleaned the room, because, from that day onwards, they would need to stay here for a long period of time.

They did not finish cleaning until the sun went down. By then, the entire room was finally clean.

Melissa, who was standing on the second floor, observed the entire street. There were zombies-like humans wandering on the street.

From time to time, there would also be people dying. After confirming that these people were no longer breathing, the people around would drag them into the alleys on the side and cut them up into pieces.

Giles walked up from the first floor and did not make a sound. Instead, he stood beside Melissa and watched the scene in front of him.

“Giles, what did a powerful empire go through to become like this?!”

This question was too difficult for Giles as well, as he only knew how to wield a weapon!

He had no choice but to spread his hands. “I can’t answer you as well!”

“Maybe that’s why I like St. Margaret!”

“Although the nobles and archbishops have many ideas and suggestions as to how to improve the duchy, Queen Mavis has always insisted on her beliefs!”

“That’s why the people of St. Margaret are so happy!”

Hearing this, Melissa sighed. 

“This is the fate of the Fergus Empire!”

“Of course, it’s no longer the Fergus Empire, but the Garcia Empire now!”

“After a few days of investigation, we know the reason for the decline.”

“But that’s not what we need to know!”

“Our main goal is to find out what happened to the Grand Wizard Hall!”

“Giles, let’s leave here tomorrow!”

“Nothing will happen if we continue to stay here.”

Hearing this, Giles immediately jumped up. “What did you say?”

“Leave tomorrow?”

“We just moved in today!”

“Did we spend half a day cleaning just to stay here for one night?”

When the three people who had just walked up the stairs heard this, they could only hold on to Giles’ shoulders and bring him down.

Among them, the assassin Elton whispered in Giles’ ear, “It’s not like you don’t know Lord Melissa’s character. She’s always been like this!”

“Just do as you’re told!”

The night quickly passed. The five of them then boarded the carriage and headed East.

Around noon, they arrived in Bader city.

When they arrived, the first thing they discovered was the dark cloud in the sky. This dark cloud made the place even darker than the Dark Eternal Domain did in the North.

Seeing this scene, Melissa, who was driving the carriage, immediately turned her head and said to the team members in the carriage behind her, “Have you received any news about the dark cloud in Bader?”

The four people in the carriage immediately spread their hands, indicating that they knew nothing.

“After the four of you arrive in Bader, stay there to investigate. I will head East to investigate alone!”

“If I don’t come back in half a month, then the four of you can leave without me!”

Although Giles had been dissatisfied with Melissa for a long time, he was the one who cared about her the most.

“Why do you have to go to such a dangerous place?”

“We can investigate it in the Fergus Empire!”

“Why do you have to go to the territory of the undead?”

At this moment, Melissa revealed a shocking piece of information, “I was born in Mehionnes!”

As soon as she said this, everyone in the car fell into silence. They had no reason to stop her anymore.

Although Melissa served Queen Mavis, she was born right there. The place she grew up in had become like this. She couldn’t just ignore it!

‘Even if there’s nothing I can do, it’s still good to go back and take a look to make myself give up,’ this was what Melissa thought.

The carriage soon entered Bader City. They had just arrived from Gabi, and they were just as surprised as before!

The four people on the carriage looked at each other. They did not understand what the Fergus Empire was doing.

Only old man Giles said helplessly, “This city is simply gorgeous.”

After disembarking at an ordinary hotel, Melissa took off her horse from the carriage, put on a set of riding equipment, and walked along the street to the Eastern gate.

She was in a very unstable mood because her parents had lived in Mehionnes.

They finally arrived at the territory of the Earl of Langford in the evening. She put her horse far away from the defense line to protect it.

She then walked along the giant rock belt on the coast and made her way to the city.

When it was dark, she finally reached the city.

Looking at the skeleton soldiers on the wall of the city, she immediately cast a spell and transformed into a zombie.

She then started climbing up the wall. She was very skilled in acting like a zombie.

The skeleton soldiers who saw her were only confused for a moment before they turned around and continued to patrol.

However, Melissa did not notice that her actions had already attracted the attention of many.

When she had just climbed up, she had already sensed the difference between the souls of Willis and that of the undead.

However, in order not to alarm the other party, Willis did not let the skeleton soldiers take action.

In the distance, Hall, who was sitting on top of the mountain, was looking at the city from afar.

Suddenly, he noticed that there was an unusual life form in the city.

However, within a few minutes, this life form had turned into a zombie, which made him very interested.

Even though he had heard of this kind of innate magical talent before, but this kind of human was very rare, and he had never come across one before.

“Landel!”

“Yes, my Lord!”

“Do you see that human?”

“Yes, my Lord!”

“Follow her and see what she wants to do.”

“After she finishes her business, invite her over. I want to meet her.”

“Yes, my Lord..”
