Arthas, oh no, Prince Nicholas was silent for a moment.

In fact, Prince Nicholas is kind by nature, and if there is a glimmer of hope, he is certainly not willing to slaughter the city.

"How sure are you?"

Bai Xiaowen thought about it, and could only shake his head honestly: "It's hard to say." However, whether it succeeds or fails, I believe that this terrible plague should be studied well. Only by understanding it can we overcome it. ”

"Alright then, I'll give you this chance at redemption," said Prince Nicholas, "and you don't have to report to the Black Rock Line for a while. In addition, in the name of the Imperial Prince, I give you the authority to temporarily manage Momiji Castle. In the meantime, you'll continue to follow the trail of the Necromantic Plague and root out the other hidden Necromantic Plague spreaders. ”

Bai Xiaowen lightly pounded his left chest with his right fist, bowed down and said, "Your Highness's kindness shines on all the people of Red Leaf City. ”

"I am not done yet," said Prince Nicholas, "and if you can develop an antidote to the necromantic plague, I will give you an incomparably rich reward for the investigation of the truth about the necromantic plague." If you fail, I'll send you to the most dangerous forward positions on the Black Rock Line to fight the most elite remnant legions!"

After a pause, Prince Nicholas continued: "And if it is because of your negligence that the undead in Red Leaf City are out of control, I will deprive you of your title and cut off your territory. Do you agree?"

Bai Xiaowen nodded without pressure: "Agreed." ”

His neat attitude moved the two knights, Job and Ferdinand. How important are noble titles and hereditary domains to a lord? It is rare for the lord in front of him to be willing to gamble on such an important thing for the sake of the people of a city he has never known.

They didn't know that Bai Xiaowen was not originally from the Kane Plane World, and even if he didn't agree, he would eventually give up the territory here. In that case, why not give it a go.

Prince Nicholas nodded: "This communication rune stone will be handed over to you." I will share some of the progress of the Black Rock Fortress's research on the Necromantic Plague with the Polymath in Red Leaf City by teleporting the runes. Hope you succeed. ”

Subsequently, the image of Prince Nicholas dissipated.

Job and Ferdinand handed the communication rune stone to Bai Xiaowen. Spiritual Rule Tips:

"You've been given a special item: the Messenger Runestone. This item can be activated with other Signaling Runes that are bound to transmit important video data simultaneously. This item cannot be taken out of the Kane Plane World. ”

"[Heroic Side Quest Step 2: Fight the Plague] opens. ”

"Objective A: Develop an antidote to the necromantic plague. ”

"Objective B: Destroy all undead creatures in the Northern Frontier that have been transformed by the Necromantic Plague. ”

"Difficulty: S. ”

"Mission Reward: Unknown. ”

"Mission Duration: Equal to the remaining time you can stay in the Kane Plane World. ”

The two knights, Job and Ferdinand, hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Ian and ...... Jericho, did they leave any relics behind before they died?"

Bai Xiaowen took out the [Ian's Journal] and [Jericho's Journal] and handed them to Job: "Since they are your comrades-in-arms, their logs will be handed over to you for safekeeping." ”

“...... Thank you very much. ”

Bai Xiaowen received a hint from the spirit world, and Job and Ferdinand's favorability of him increased.

Job handed Bai Xiaowen a neatly folded map: "We have been secretly investigating the necromantic plague and learned about some secret strongholds. Ferdinand and I are separated from each other, and the stronghold near the Momiji Collar will be uprooted by you. ”

Bai Xiaowen took the map and nodded in thanks.

In fact, Job did this to share some credit with Bai Xiaowen as a thank you. With the strength of the two of them at level 6, it is not difficult to uproot the necromantic plague stronghold, the most difficult thing is to investigate the location of the hidden stronghold.

In the S-class hero mission "Fighting the Plague", Bai Xiaowen's own participation is directly related to the final evaluation of the mission, that is, the size of his merit in the eyes of Prince Nicholas. Therefore, the secret stronghold of the Necromantic Plague on this map can be regarded as a great help to Bai Xiaowen.

After seeing off the two knights and their men, Bai Xiaowen returned to the city surrounded by the residents of Red Leaf City.

Originally, the residents of Red Leaf City still had a strong resistance to Bai Xiaowen and the bandit guards under his command, but after today's events, under word of mouth, their attitude towards the bandit guards has greatly improved.

For Bai Xiaowen's request, the residents with a deeper degree of infection and obvious symptoms were gathered together, and the order to set up a quarantine area made the rebound of the residents of Red Leaf City much smaller. Although there are still some disgruntled protests, they have not become a climate.

Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, and Berita, after the order of Red Leaf City became stable, they followed the guidance of the map and went out to pull out the necromantic plague stronghold.

These secret strongholds are very small, and at most one or two mid-level elites will resist, and they pose no threat. The seized items and materials were all sent to Dr. Zombie's underground research institute.

It is worth mentioning that Bai Xiaowen's [Summoning Angry Claws] and [Deterrence] skills have finally been upgraded to level 3.

In fact, after the battle of Red Leaf City, his proficiency in these two skills was already close to full. This kind of high-intensity combat is very significant for the improvement of skill proficiency.

And the two skills that have been upgraded to level 3, with the blessing of the title of "the strongest scholar", are both level 4, and they have enjoyed the strengthening effect of upgrading their skills to Lv4 in advance, but they need to be extracted.

In one of the secret strongholds of the Necromantic Plague, Bai Xiaowen chose to extract the Lv4 enhancement effect of [Summoning Angry Claws].

In front of Bai Xiaowen, a roulette wheel appeared, on which four areas were divided, which were written "ordinary", "excellent", "excellent" and "perfect". Just like the lottery wheel of the popularity of the earth plane, the ordinary area is the largest, accounting for 40%, followed by 30%, 20% and 10%.

"This should be a different booster, and the rarer the booster, the more powerful it is. Li Shuyi said.

Bai Xiaowen looked very open: "The enhancement effect of the ordinary level may not be weak, everything depends on whether it fits the ......" He remembered the old demon's [flash] skill, because the enhancement effect of Lv4 and Lv7 fit extremely high, resulting in this mediocre skill rising to the level of control skills with extremely high tactical status.

Bai Xiaowen toggled the roulette wheel, the pointer rotated quickly, and then slowly slowed down.

In the last lap, the pointer was as slow as a snail, crawling through the normal area, and then struggling to cross the 30% excellent area, and finally fixed in the 20% excellent area.
