The Amber Sword - 1078. Chapter 1078

“Warning: You are injured by the plague, causing 0 damage (33 of which have been resisted).”

“Warning: You are injured by the plague, causing 0 damage (31 of which have been resisted).”

“Warning: You are injured by the plague, 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, and it was already covered with shocking system records.

He immediately raised his head. This place has entered the Queens District. This place is the busiest area in Rustha’s business on weekdays. There are dozens of the most famous chambers of commerce in the empire along both sides of the street. The majestic and majestic buildings are immersed at the moment. In the darkness and silence, every door and every window was closed tightly, and a layer of mist filled the streets.

“Mist?” Brando suddenly raised his hand and grabbed it, then opened the palm of his hand, revealing the bodies of a few flying insects.

“What’s the matter, sir?” Behind him, Metissa and Hippamilla also stopped, the latter asked curiously, watching his movements.

However, the little silver elf princess stared at the colorful corpse of the flying insect in Brando’s hand, without saying a word, with a calm light in her eyes.

“Know?” Brando asked.

“This is a swarm of plague insects. They were born in the mist of the Gray Field, and the rancidity of devouring the corpses of the devil and the corrupted souls multiplied,” Medissa replied quietly: “I have seen them more than once. ”

“This is a larva,” Brando nodded. “It hasn’t fully grown up yet. You should have seen an adult.”

He squinted his eyes and looked at the dead street ahead. He knew exactly where Medissa had dealt with these bugs; the plague swarms are the inhabitants of hell and live by eating decay. Usually, a group is from the same parent. Born, the female parent is a giant adult, and there is often only one in a group. Plague insects rarely leave the female parent too far, and they hardly migrate out of the gray light field.

There is one exception.

Among the twelve branches of the tree shepherd, the Gu Insect Lords are all worm wizards for generations. This branch of the tree shepherd controls a huge swarm of plague insects. As early as the era of the war of the saints, the tree shepherd and the silver elves Humans have fought against each other more than once, so Medissa should have seen these visitors from hell more than once at that time.

This generation of Gu Lord Mayard was captured by the empire decades ago and detained in the depths of an underground prison in Rusita, but even Andesa was alive and kicking outside not long ago. I want to come to this Gu Lord. Will not be lonely.

“It seems that Her Majesty has more than one trouble for us.”

“Are you going to fight, Lord Lord?” Medissa asked.

“First bless the defensive spells. These larvae won’t cause us any trouble, but it’s hard to say inside.” Brando frowned. Every branch of the tree shepherd is difficult to entangle, and Andesa counts among them. The weak, although Mayad is not strong enough to go there, it is extremely difficult to deal with.

In the game, he had dealt with the Gu worm lord, so he felt tricky. This is the periphery of the fog of plague. The disease damage in the central area can reach more than 100 points per second. He is not good at praise. The baptist priest of the poem can’t do anything at all.

Although the impact of magical damage on him is minimal, and even the disease damage in the central area may be completely resistant to him, it is difficult for Metisa and Hippamila to say.

He doesn’t want to cause trouble at this time. His most urgent goal now is to go through Lustha to the west to meet other people, and confirm whether Akane has been rescued. If everything goes well, they can leave the empire directly. NS.

The channel to leave the empire has also been arranged long ago. The prince’s eldest son and the northern nobles will fully cooperate with him. They can cross the Evergreen aisle or bypass the Principality of Antobruo. This road is still safe-at least for now. It seems so.

As for what happened in the imperial capital, in fact, it has nothing to do with him–and the Eruin people. Anyway, it is also a problem for Her Majesty.

He looked at the thin mist carefully, and thought that if he was lucky, he could pass directly through the edge of the mist. However, Mayad’s element is the mist of the soul, not the mist of pure plague. It is easy to get lost in this mist. If you want to leave, It’s not that easy.

Besides, the other party is a psychopath, I’m afraid he may not allow a few living people to leave unscathed from his plague fog.

It’s just too late to go back now. Behind is the trade zone. Who knows if the Silver Queen will come after her.

Hippamila set up a defensive light shield, but Metisa didn’t respond. Brando glanced at her and remembered that the Silver People was immune to diseases. They also won the battle with the Gu Lord. More lose less.

“Silver’s blood is really enviable.” He couldn’t help sighing.

“Lord Lord is not bad,” Metisa smiled: “It’s just a poor ghost underneath. How can Lord Lord envy you.”

“Really, how can there be such a cute ghost?”

Metissa’s eyes widened, her silver eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and Hippamira couldn’t help but giggled.

The atmosphere eased a lot for a while, and the three of them also slowed down. The Queens district is a little more than two kilometers longer. The whole area is composed of a main street. On both sides of the street are magnificent shops and tall buildings. The shrine of Kronu, the god of commerce, stands in the mist not far away. It has already become a monument-like building at this moment, commemorating the glory of the gods of the past.

Brando can almost see the gold patterns inlaid on the mottled exterior wall. Their brilliance is dim, and the past scenery is absent. The Temple of Flame is very generous and has not overthrown them. Of course, it is also an expression of obedience to Martha and her. Our respect, in fact, in the countryside of the empire and many areas of Eruin, people still maintain their faith in the old gods, but they can no longer receive a response.

Without response and protection, there would be no priest. The temple of Kronu, the god of commerce, was like a mottled empty shell, silent for thousands of years in the mist.

In fact, this temple is not the only thing that is silent, the entire Queens area is shrouded in deathly silence, and only the footsteps of the remaining three people are humming in the sky above the stone street.

The more you go in, the thicker the fog becomes. From time to time, a bug hits Hippamilla’s light shield, slamming into a pool of green water, and flowing down the light curtain, scaring the lady priest to pale.

On the contrary, the little silver elf princess looked very calm, and walked forward almost without changing her face. Only at this time can people remember that she was once the highest commander of an army.

Although calculated according to the age of a human, she was only fourteen years old when she became famous, but she was a young girl with a cardamom age.

Brando hardly had any chances at this time. He knew that the silence was due to the fact that there was probably no living person in the Queens area. This was the area with the richest nightlife in the entire imperial capital, close to the noble area, in the evening to late night. It is often the most lively time, and there are even nobles sneaking out to experience life. Although it is not a horse-drawn carriage, at least it will not be empty.

You can’t see a corpse on the street, but you can understand what happened before looking at the carriage slantingly parked on the side of the road or hitting the plane tree. There are no bones left.

Hippamilla looked dignified.

Brando was wondering where Sidney and Veronica went, whether it had anything to do with Mayard’s sudden appearance.

At this moment, the mist in front of them suddenly buzzed to the two sides, and a fist-sized bug rushed toward his face. Brando reacted extremely fast, and he drew his sword without thinking about it. The sword light flashed, and the bug had already snapped. The click turned into two pieces and fell to the ground, and the six legs were still twitching.

When he lowered his head, he found that it looked a bit like a beetle. It was dark and had six legs as sharp as a knife. Before he could even speak, Metisa on the side replied first: “This is an adult. We are already close to the mother. NS.”

Being close to the mother’s parent means that he is close to Mayad. Brando did not expect that instead of passing through the fog of plague from the edge, he walked to the center of the fog of plague.

But walking to this place means that the other party has discovered them. To avoid them is to deceive himself. He simply does not retract the long sword in his hand, but raises his head and glances. Brando thought about a tall and majestic building in front of him. , I remembered that it was the headquarters of the patrol cavalry.

He took a moment to look at the light green light screen floating in his upper left. The damage on the battle record has risen to nearly a hundred, which is slightly weaker than what he has encountered before, but he wants to escape from the dungeon in this era. Mayad is not his strongest period.

“It looks like he is there waiting for us.” He turned his head and said to Metisa and Hippamila.

“Well,” the silver elf little princess nodded, “but it’s a bit strange, sir.”

“What’s the matter?” Brando knew that Medissa’s experience was not worse than his own, or even more than his own, and he was not inferior to him in the understanding of the tree shepherd, so he seemed to attach great importance to the latter’s opinions.

“There are too few insect swarms,” Metisa replied softly, “Even if Mayard consciously hides, there shouldn’t be so few insects in the fog of plague. Besides, we only met an adult when we walked here. It’s unusual.”

Brando raised his eyebrows before he noticed this. He only fought with Mayard once in a limited opportunity, and he was not the main attacker at that time. At that time, the Graysius Knights with him was only responsible for controlling the insects. It’s just a group, the diamond force guild with the real main attack.

He recalled the experience of that battle. There were indeed swarms of insects in the fog, which was a bit different from the two or three sparse ones right now.

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

“I thought of a possibility,” Medissa shook her head slightly, “but I don’t dare to confirm yet.”

Brando saw her biting her lip, a thought flashed in her heart, and he didn’t ask any more.

The patrol cavalry headquarters in the mist is like a living creature. The towering fortress-like building is its back, and the city wall is its winding neck and spine. It curls up here, motionless, as if it is falling into a silent sleep. middle.

There are no signs of living in the fortress, and obviously all have been killed. Fortunately, the patrol cavalry has camps outside the city. The headquarters in the city usually has only one squadron of cavalry stationed on duty, but even so, the accident is still enough to shock the top of the empire. , You must know that in the cavalry patrolling in the imperial capital, noble children accounted for a large proportion.

The commander of the patrol cavalry is the Earl of the Empire, second only to the master of the extreme realm. If he was here when the accident happened, then the pleasure of the Cruz people would be even greater.

The three of them passed through the city gate all the way, the suspension bridge did not cause any trouble for them, and then the empty courtyard, the main entrance of the manor, the corridor, the spiral staircase, there was no one in the entire fortress, and there were not even many bugs. They only encountered a few attacks along the way. It was not so much a plague swarm as it was a few insects that remained here after the swarm.

But the thick fog of plague that enveloped this place tells Brando that this is definitely the center of the plague swarm, not the place after the swarm passes.

They went all the way to the third and top level of the fortress. This was the center of the entire patrol cavalry headquarters. Theoretically, the office of the Lord Earl should be here.

The internal structure of this type of military building is similar. Brando is quite familiar with the Cruz’s fortress. He quickly found the office of the Count’s office along the corridor. At the door of the office, he finally saw the only one on this trip. Several humans.

To be precise, several corpses.

Two of them were crawling in the corridor, facing down, wearing the uniforms of patrol cavalry, their clothes were pale, black blood seeped out from under them, and penetrated into the thick carpet.

Another man leaned against the wall, his face was bloody, he couldn’t see his facial features, as if a big hole had been gnawed out by something, his dress was more gorgeous, earl’s trench coat, gold-rimmed breeches, long boots, all over his body. They are all fragmentary decorations, and they also wear a breastplate that is extremely luxurious.

It is a pity that this breastplate failed to save his life. There was a large hole on the left side of the breastplate, and dark red blood flowed from the middle of the breastplate. This should be a fatal injury.

The corpse tilted its head and leaned against the walnut parapet at the back, blood smeared across the wall, and his sabre scattered on the side. Brando confirmed the identity of the opponent when he saw the sabre.

Chi Falcon proved that this man was the commander of the patrol cavalry, a certain earl 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 Sabre Chi Falcon of the commander of the Imperial Inspection Cavalry is not comparable to the holy swords like Harangea and Odyssey, it is also indispensable to pass on the ancient famous sword, otherwise it will not be passed on from generation to generation. He can There is no habit of leaving good things to the empires.

There were a few adult plague insects crawling around the body of the patrol cavalry commander. When Brando moved, they immediately spotted the strange intruder, hissing and rushing towards this side. But Brando hadn’t started, the lady priest next to her took a step forward, waving her hands in the mountains and rivers, a perfect home run, and directly knocked out the bugs.

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

Brando also frowned. He suddenly thought that these bugs hadn’t taken the initiative to attack him before, but only passively attacked them after he had alarmed them. In fact, the closer to the female parent, the more cautious the plague swarms will be. They will madly attack all creatures close to this area, whether they are humans or animals.

This is not the behavior that the plague swarm should have.

He couldn’t help turning his head subconsciously, but found that Medissa frowned deeply, looking thoughtfully at the direction of the Imperial Earl’s office not far away.

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