Soul Echo

The news of the 'dance' plague quickly reached the ears of the nobles, who hurriedly passed messages to each other to confirm the authenticity of the matter.

Plague, here comes the plague!

When the news was confirmed, the nobles and wealthy businessmen hurriedly ordered people to pack up their belongings and hurriedly prepared to leave the town.

Because of the rapid spread of the plague, in just over ten minutes, people in half of the town were infected, and the streets were full of people dancing and singing, and they were still heading towards them. spread in the area.

The plague is spreading, and so is the panic.

It's not that they don't know that the plague may have spread long ago, but it has been latent until now.

It's just a fluke, thinking that he may not have been infected, otherwise, why hasn't it occurred until now?

"What do you want to do?!"

When the lord of Resta heard the news, he realized that it was not good, and hurriedly went out, and immediately saw a large group of people pulling large and small bags, even with only valuable items, ready to leave town on carriage and horses.

The young lord looked at them, his blood surged, and he rushed to the top of the head.

"Where are you going? You are not allowed to go!" He roared hysterically, which only caused some people's movements to lag a little, and more people thought they didn't hear anything. Ignore it.

Seeing their actions, the young lord hated these guys at this moment.

normally high-sounding and loyal, in the saddle, in fact just coveting his property.

A 'kind-hearted' businessman hesitated for a while, but still persuaded: "Master Baron, you should also run away, the plague is about to spread throughout the town, if we don't leave, we may also Suffering, and this plague is not necessarily..."

"Shut up!!"

The lord roared, his hair stood on end, "This is my territory, I will not Run away! You are not allowed to run away either!"

The businessman who was yelled at was also angry.

"Fief lord, do you still consider yourself a fief lord? Where is your army? Where is your loyal army and Knight?!"

With a roar, I felt relieved After a lot, the merchant turned his head away, no longer paid attention to the mad lord, and now hurriedly escape is more important.

Being yelled at by the merchant, the lord was also stunned. He looked towards the surroundings blankly. Except for the deacon and servants who were also shiver coldly and wanted to speak, there was no one else.

His castle isn't here, he's on vacation, but with some guards.

But now, I haven't seen the silhouettes of those guards at all...

"Has anyone seen West and the others?" The lord frowned, suppressed his anger, and asked the servant, "Where are their people? Why didn't you see them?"

"Master, they've already run away!"

When the lord asked about this, deacon couldn't hold back any longer He couldn't stop crying, "Not only did they escape, they also took our horses away!"

"What?!" The lord's face changed suddenly.

The lord had no way to escape, but other nobles and merchants had already made preparations to escape, and some of them had already embarked on the road of escape. They were crowded on the streets that were not very spacious. In order to snatch the opportunity to escape, he did not hesitate to ram other people, making this 'escape route' a mess, but delaying the pace.

When they came to the city gate, they found that the door that was supposed to be open was closed, and a carriage lay across the door.

"Who is it?!"

Running at the front was a Knight wearing a half-armor and riding a straddle horse. Seeing that the city gate was closed, he was furious." Which idiot is on duty today, dare to close the city gate without the order of the fief lord! Open it!"

"I told them to close..."

A dull voice It came from below the city gate, and people turned their attention.

dong! dong! dong!

People's eyes quickly became flustered as they saw a 'giant' emerge from the shadows.

Father Piero is dressed in steel armor, wrapped around and hung with strips of cloth covered with scriptures.

The 'giant' in armor holds a giant hammer, with a shoulder-high handle against a square hammer the size of a head, which can smash anyone's head at a glance.

The carriage window in front of the city gate opened abruptly, and two muskets were placed on the edge of the window, clearly in front of everyone.

More and more people gathered in front of the city gate, and their eyelids jumped when they saw the battle of Father Piero.

"You're not fools, and I'll just say it straight - the bard who came to Resta two months ago was the cause of everything, as the first contact with that guy. People, you have been infected with the plague long ago, but it hasn't happened yet."

The words of the priest aroused the fear hidden in the hearts of everyone, it is not that they did not think of this, they just did not want to believe .

Slightly raised the giant hammer and paused.

The shock extinguished the fire of resistance that had just risen in the hearts of the people. They looked at the giant hammer in the priest's hand and were timid.

"Maybe the plague has spread long ago, but that's why I want to keep you here so that the plague won't have more chances to spread."

The priest's Words are like a cold wind, blowing into everyone's hearts, chilling to the bone, "Even if it is, kill you all here!"

…………

Amos Standing aside, gasping for breath, he asked, "Did you hear something just now? Don't say it, I just want to confirm."

Zhong Ye patted his head, with annoyed expression on his face, "Yes."

Amos exhales one breath saying, then put his fingers in his mouth and whistled.

Immediately, there was the sound of hooves, and Lettuce ran out of the backyard with a rucksack.

"I'll keep it short." Amos unloaded his rucksack from the horse, greeted Zhong Ye, helped him, and carried him into the church.

"I already know what the situation is now. In fact, there is no plague at all in Resta, or, in other words, the plague is just an appearance, and it is all about the murders and disappearances!"

In the church, Amos bowed to the one-knee kneels of the sun statue with sincerity, and whispered his sin: "Your Majesty, Resta is in a critical situation and needs to use your kingdom and divine force on earth. I hope you Forgive me for the fault of this humble demonhunter."

The statue of the sun did not respond and hovered silently above the pedestal, but Amos had already stood up and asked Zhong Ye to clean the tables and chairs in the hall with him.

"A little over half a month ago, I came to Resta, and I didn't have any contact with the nobles. I just knew that the nobles here like to say hello by dancing and singing, and then I went to the occupied area. I used half a month. In this half a month, there were several murders and disappearances in Resta, but in fact, they were all 'murders'!

"Under the first floor of the ritual , there is another layer of rituals hidden! "

Zhong Ye frowned, told Amos about Jihay's discovery and the bard, and the demonhunter suddenly realized.

"The bard was gone, but no Leaving Resta, the believers of Plague God are true believers, and the rituals they arrange need a place to coordinate the overall situation, which is why I can trace the stronghold-although Father Piero did not recognize it, but every Every demonhunter has to study for three years in the Odi Umon library, and only after passing the test of knowledge can he go out and walk. I have seen this ritual in the library.

"'Murder the living and nourish the plague with corpses', even if this ritual is only half completed, it is enough to cultivate the plague. Once the ritual is completed, the entire town will become Plague God Spread the horror of walking corpse to the world.

"The book that recorded the ritual didn't say how many corpses were needed to cultivate the plague, but it occurred to me when I was looking for the symptoms of the plague. It may not be that simple, then went to the murder scene two days ago, and after careful observation, I found another smell hidden under the 'plague'! ”

Amos drew a seven-pointed star in the clearing and placed seven objects on each horn.

He lit seven candles , the candles lit blue dim light, adding a cool color to the bright and bright church.

Then, he solemnly took out the sealed aberration sculpture and placed it in the center of the array.

In Against the background of the cold flames, Amos' face looked gloomy and vicious, "Every murder scene has traces of two people's deaths. The reason for only one corpse is that the other corpse has become the carrier of the plague. With the alternation of day and night, The temperature rises and falls and drifts all over town, so that little boy and you can smell that odor - a corpse that's been squeezed into blood mist!

"The overlapping of the two rituals has deceived everyone, including me and Father Piero, and the few believers of Plague God, and everyone has been deceived.

"The ritual hidden under the plague ritual has been completed, the bard is a believer of the abyss, no matter whether we catch those believers of Plague God or not, the disaster will definitely break out today! "

"Remember those things you heard? Amos raised the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, and his eyes were full of ice. The corpse in the murder scene sublimated and spread to every corner of Resta, now his body is everywhere, and his soul is everywhere. "

Zhong Ye narrowed his eyes, "So? "

demonhunter pointed to the aberration sculpture, "He is very difficult to kill in that state. To solve this disaster, you need to summon him, let him come, and have an entity!" "

hearing this, Zhong Ye laughed, "summon needs incantation, right? By the way, what about Father Piero? "

"It's too late, the priest should be blocking the town and preventing the nobles and wealthy businessmen from leaving the city." Remember what you heard? "Amos drew his long sword and pistol, and pointed his chin at the Finger Law formation," read it out. "

Facing the seven-pointed star array, Zhong Ye took a deep breath and pulled out the half-sword in his hand.

"Blissful and joyous!" ”

So——

rays of light came!
