The scorching glow of the sun scorched the earth, and as far as the eye could see, cracks could be seen on the parched surface. The turf had already turned yellow, and even the trees in front of me looked half-dead. Looking into the distance, you can even see the rushing heat rushing, so that the scenery in front of you is twisting and shaking, making people dizzy.

"It's Casalans up ahead."

Nadia rode over to Jenn and whispered. This time, as a representative of the Templar Order, she traveled to Casalanth with Jenn. Jenn naturally welcomed this warmly, he was worried that he could not find a legitimate opportunity to tempt this paladin, but now that he had such a good opportunity in front of him, if he didn't take advantage of it, then he would be blind.

"It's weird, we're on our way......... Nothing........."

Elise lowered her hood and glanced around with a frown, the scorching sun made her a little unhappy, but as a perfect body, Elise didn't have any problems because of this little sunlight.

"According to the information I heard before, the vicinity of Casalans is almost completely locked down, and the merchants are not willing to risk the Guò epidemic area, and coupled with the quarantine of the Templar Order, it is normal not to see anyone."

Compared to Elise, Enoa's expression was calm, and she was still wearing the magnificent black gown on the horse, except that she wore a black lace-trimmed cloak like all the ladies -- but in the nearly forty degrees heat, it looked a little out of place.

Of course, look at Jenn in an aristocratic dress and Elise in the same way. And Nadia, who is wearing heavier armor, it should be said that this group of people is actually very strange............

This time to Casalands. Jenn only took Elise and Enoa with him, leaving Patilina and the young knights at the station. Cooperate with Alice to defend their own ground lair. After all, he didn't know whether the other party was coming for him, so the superficial preparations had to be at least ready. Although Bishop Howard said that the Templar Order would help take care of it, Jenn knew that it was better to ask for others than to rely on himself, so he was better at ease in doing everything himself, didn't he?

However, there are more profound reasons why Jenn chose Elise and Enoa over Patilina this time.

Looking at the stronghold in the distance, Jenn narrowed his eyes and recalled in his mind what Bishop Howard had said earlier.

"In fact, we suspect that the same people are responsible for the Golden City and Cassalans. According to the news from the Ten Towns Alliance, an undead creature has appeared in the Golden City that can move under the sun. A similar situation arose in Casalands, where the strange plagues not only killed people, but were even able to drive their bodies back on their feet after death, and not afraid of the sun's rays. So we thought there must be some connection between that..............."

Nonsense.

Jenn scoffed at Bishop Howard's judgment that the undead in the Golden City had been awakened by Enoa using her talent [Army of the Dead]. As for Casalanth - she had never been there, so even if there were any undead creatures here, it had nothing to do with Enoa. But even so. Jenn was still curious, the undead creatures that could walk in the sun were supposed to be exclusive to Enoa, but now, someone actually made this thing?

Hold on to this curiosity. Jenn had brought Enoa and Elise here, and the reason for choosing them was simple, both of them were undead. Innate immunity to such things as the plague. Jenn himself is the son of a demon king, and the general plague is of no use to him at all. As for Nadia......... Come to think of it. Jenn glanced at the Divine Knight beside him.

Anyway, with her god watching, she shouldn't die.

"The base did not send a signal ............"

Nadia didn't notice Jenn's "ill-intentioned" gaze. She looked worriedly at the fortress stronghold in the distance, from here, there was no one on the city wall at all, there was even black smoke coming out of it, and several black birds were hovering over the fortress, this scene did not look like a good thing at all. Although she had already learned from the Bishop that the situation might have turned out to be bad, Nadia did not expect it to be like this.

"Looks like it's going to be the end of here."

Jenn wasn't as sentimental as Nadia, but he reached out, pushed his glasses, and then looked at Nadia again.

"Miss Nadia, can you spy on it and see if the ground is safe? I don't want to be greeted by a horde of undead creatures just after arriving here......... God knows how many of them there really are. ”

"Okay."

Perhaps because the excitement brought to Nadia by the scene in front of her was too strong, this time in the face of Jenn's request, she didn't say anything, but quickly nodded. It seems that this unexpected scene in front of her also made Nadia a little uneasy. So she quickly closed her eyes and whispered a prayer, and then she saw a faint light emerge from Nadia's body, and then the girl opened her eyes again—only unlike before, there was now a circle of white flames burning in the girl's pupils.

“…………… Nothing, I didn't perceive any trace of the undead. ”

"Okay."

Hearing Nadia's answer, Jenn nodded.

"Then we move on, it's not long before evening, and I think we should look for a place to rest -- at least I'm not willing to sleep in the wilderness."

Having said that, when everyone came to the front of the stronghold, they realized that it was more difficult than they thought to find a place to rest.

In front of Jenn's eyes, the gate of the stronghold was open crookedly, and everywhere you could see blood stains and debris piled up in a hurry, and it seemed as if the stronghold had been attacked by something. Bodies could still be seen burning in the fire, and the smell of blood and decay was almost disgusting. The entire colony was as silent as death. Only the sound of flies "buzzing" in my ears sounded more and more unsettling.

"This ..............."

Look at the scene in front of you. Nadia's face turned pale, this was the first time she had seen the plague wreatheless. This stronghold is located near the trade route, and it can be regarded as a prosperous gathering place with two or three hundred people. But now, there was a dead silence, almost like a dead land. She stared at the charred black mass not far from her, which seemed to be the place where the cremated corpses were kept, and she could see several corpses lying there at the moment that had been burned to black coal. In the face of these corpses, Nadia didn't dare to look at them much, she just glanced at the charred skull and hurriedly turned her head. Looking to the side, he looked hesitant and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Go ahead, the letter for help the Order received before came from here, and in that case, there should be survivors inside."

"Ah......... Hmmm........."

Hearing Jenn's words, Nadia came to her senses, nodded palely, then glanced at the charred corpse next to her, and then turned and walked forward. And watched Nadia leave. Jenn reached out and pushed his glasses, looked at the fire, and then his eyes flashed.

Nadia may not have noticed it, but Jenn had found out. The body was not cremated after it was dead, but rather, it was burned alive.

Seemingly. The place is getting more and more interesting.

The more she moved into the interior of the stronghold, the more ugly Nadia's face became. The entire colony appears to have been completely destroyed by the plague, and traces of destruction and incineration can be seen everywhere. It's different from Nadia, though. At this moment, Jenn and the other three who were walking behind had completely different views on this.

"What do you think?"

Jenn asked, and in the face of Jenn's inquiry, Enoa first put a finger on her chin and thought for a moment before answering.

"There are surprisingly few corpses, and almost all of the corpses we have found so far have been burned, so it is conceivable that the people in this stronghold really wanted to control the spread of the plague in the first place. But I don't know why it broke out............ But it's surprising that there are so few bodies here. ”

"It doesn't look like it was transformed into an undead creature by a necromancer........."

At this moment, Elise on the other side also joined the discussion, although she is not a necromancer, but mages are naturally extremely sensitive to negative energy, if this plague is related to necromancers, then the ubiquitous traces of negative energy will definitely attract Elise's attention. But now it seems that this place is normal, and there is no trace of necromancy at all.

"It's a lot of fun............

Hearing Elise's words, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly, if even Elise can't feel the traces of negative energy, then it means that the plague here has nothing to do with the "evil" existence of necromancers and other "evil", could it be said that the plague here broke out naturally? But what about the information the Templar had received about the undead?

“………………！”

At this moment, suddenly, a low roar like a beast came.

The moment they heard this, everyone suddenly stopped, and Jenn reached out to hold the hilt of the sword at his waist, while Elise and Enoa also stared around vigilantly. Although the faint voice just now was almost incomparable to the sound of the wind, as a powerhouse in the legendary realm and a semi-bloodsuck with a perfect body, everyone's facial features were quite sharp. So even the slightest sound can catch their attention.

"What's wrong? Mr. Jenn? ”

Sensing the abnormality of Jenn and the others, Nadia was stunned. In fact, with her strength, if she was focused on the surroundings, it was impossible not to hear the low roar just now. It's just that Nadia seems to be frightened by the tragic situation in the stronghold in front of her, and she didn't react for a while. But soon, she knew what had happened.

"Roaring ............"

"Roar ..............."

Beast-like screams came from all directions, as if they had stepped into some beast's lair. And at this time, Nadia also reacted, she pulled out her long sword with a "swish", and stared nervously ahead, those voices were getting closer and closer, closer and closer, and it was obvious that they were moving closer to Jenn and the others. And then .........

"Ah..................h

The original low roar turned into a terrible scream almost instantly, and the next moment, everyone saw hundreds of black shadows rushing out of the alleys and streets on both sides, rushing towards them quickly!! (To be continued......)
