Chapter 248: The Corrupt Nation (I)
Looking at the passage in front of him, which had been completely opened, Jenn snorted coldly and put his sword back into its sheath. Turning his head to look to the side, he saw that the three street thugs were completely stunned at the moment, and their mouths were so long that they could even put their fists in them. It's not that they haven't seen the strength of Jenn and the others along the way, after all, those beast-changing monsters will also attack them from time to time. However, with the three legendary powerhouses led by Jenn and Elise, a magician, there is little that can defeat them. But now this scene completely turned the previous thoughts of these poor children, if before that they only thought that these people were strong, then at this moment Jenn was no different from the legendary dragon in their eyes. If you can destroy Miè Kassandra's gate in one blow, I'm afraid that even if you really come to a dragon, you won't be able to do it!!
"Mr. Jenn!!"
Seeing this scene, Nadia immediately screamed, and at the same time, she saw the paladin hurriedly draw her long sword and watch the gate vigilantly. It's no wonder that Nadia is so nervous, they have been surrounded and attacked by countless crazy monsters in the stronghold before, and this time Jenn made such a big noise, if there is no reaction inside, it is not normal!
Elise and Enoa didn't speak, but the two girls hurriedly stood beside Jenn, staring intently at the broken gate in front of them, and in their imagination it was almost foreseeable that soon the shrill screams would ring, and then the untold monsters would rush screaming like a tide -- but that was fine, the tall and heavy gates were enough to restrict the movement of the monsters, and for the two spellcasters. It's a great opportunity to brush up on experience.
Unfortunately, things didn't go the way everyone expected.
“…………………”
The wind whistled through the crumbling doorway. Brought up a few residual leaves, in addition to that. Nothing else. No enemies, no screams, no attacks, nothing.
The whole of Kassandra remained dead silent, with no sound or anything, as if the whole city was dead.
“???”
Seeing this scene, the three girls couldn't help but glance at each other suspiciously, they were originally prepared to face the attack of the surging enemy like the previous stronghold. But what's going on right now?
"Go in and have a look."
Just when everyone was puzzled, Jenn had already raised his legs and walked forward, in fact, long before this, he had activated the [Evil Eye] to scan the entire Kassandra, to Jenn's surprise, there was no sign of life at all in most of Kassandra, only the inner city part did not know why it blocked Jenn's detection, it seems that if there are survivors. Then it should be in the inner city area.
But............
Jenn reached out and lifted his glasses, and his eyes flashed bright red again, and then vanished.
It's so loud that nothing jumps out? That's a lot of fun.........
Thinking of this, he didn't say much. He gestured to the back, and walked into Kassandra.
A city of death.
Walking into Kassandra, you can see the traces of the battle everywhere. Makeshift barricades, dilapidated houses. The ruins of the walls that have been burned to ashes. A qiē seems to be the same as the stronghold that Jenn had traveled to before, but. There is only one difference, and it is a decisive difference.
There were no corpses.
Walking through the streets, Jenn and the others could see spilled blood, broken swords and shields, but not a single corpse, whether human, non-human, or even animal. They even opened a few random houses and searched inside, but found nothing. While there are many signs of tables and chairs toppling over in some places that Kassandra must have had an unusual experience before, it now looks as if everything is over.
But what about people?
If Kassandra had finally defeated the plague and the monsters, it would not be surprising that the corpses had been retracted. But the question is, why is there no one guarding the door? Could it be that Kassandra is already short of manpower to do this? But no matter how short of manpower you are, you have to get in touch with the outside world. Now that the whole of Casalans is locked down, there is no news inside, what exactly are these people trying to do?
Jenn and Enoa discussed in a low voice with Elise, while Nadia on the other side had a cold face - just now they had visited a church of the sun god, and of course they had found nothing. However, to Nadia's anger, the icon of Amunla in the church was smashed to pieces, and the blood was smeared on it with blasphemous words. This was unacceptable for a devout believer, and although Nadia was not a believer in Amunla, as a member of the Templar Order, she certainly wouldn't ignore such a thing.
Could it be that the cultists took the opportunity to capture Kassandra?
It's not impossible, but Jenn feels a little unreliable, because since they entered Kassandra until now, under the reflection of the evil eye, most of the entire Kassandra is still in a very calm state, with no signs of life activity at all. The only sheltered inner city is still unmoving, and it looks as if it is completely empty.
"Spread out, inspect carefully, and see if you can find any clues."
Standing on the Bauhinia Square, Jenn finally gave the order, and they couldn't even see a ghost shadow along the way, not to mention the undead, even half of the living creatures. There was still a flock of crows flying above the stronghold, but the sky here was empty. Not only that, but the originally brilliant sunlight shining on the city also gives people a gray, unclear feeling, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Not only did Nadia feel that something was wrong, but even Calvin and the other three thugs were pale at this moment, looking around vigilantly, for fear that something would suddenly jump out of somewhere -- although Jenn really wanted to be able to jump out of something to change the situation, but unfortunately, until he gave the order, nothing jumped out to kill him.
Hearing Jenn's order, Enoa and Elise both nodded, and then searched the depths of Kassandra along the Twilight Avenue and the Twilight Corridor, respectively. And Nadia was left by Jenn to take care of the three unlucky guys, in fact, if they could, Calvin and the others really wanted to turn around and leave, but after thinking about the monsters hiding in the woods outside, they finally decided to stay, and follow these kind adults, maybe they can live a few more days.
Of course, Jenn's so-called search was just a façade, in fact, after leaving the street, she immediately telepathically contacted Enoa through Guò, and then asked her to bring Elise to join her, and it wasn't long before the three of them met again in a tavern on Sunset Street.
"What's going on here? Master? ”
"I don't know."
Jenn answered Enoa's inquiry as he reached out and took a bottle from the wine cabinet and shook it, then opened it and poured it into the glass.
"It looks like some kind of cultist did it......... Well......... Not surprisingly, the question is how they do it. And from what we've observed, Kassandra must have had a lot of corpses, but now she can't find a single fingernail......... It's a lot of fun........."
"Master, are we really going to exterminate these cultists?"
And at this time, Elise also asked with some doubts. To be honest, she didn't really care about what was going on here. In Elise's opinion, no matter what kind of cultist or demon the other party is, as long as they can care about killing people, let them kill them, anyway, it is human beings who die, which is also a good thing for them, and they don't need to pay attention to it at all. So Elise is not interested in finding the real murderer, and Jenn even suspects that even if she really finds the murderer, she will probably find an opportunity to let the other party go.
"In order to conceal our identity, we have to do it."
Jenn knew what Elise was thinking, but he was quick to explain.
"If we can help the Templar out of this trouble, then we will be able to gain more new people and have a better place in the human world. This is quite beneficial for our next plans, not to mention ..............."
At this, Jenn paused and looked at Elise in front of him again.
"Don't worry about the bad effects of killing these guys here, because this thing itself is probably a failure, so it doesn't hurt for us to help get rid of it."
"Failure?"
Hearing this, Elise was stunned for a moment.
"Master, do you know what this plague is all about?"
"Pretty much."
Jenn put down the wine glass in his hand, and the absinthe inside tasted a little too strong, which was not in line with Jenn's taste. So he just took a sip and tossed the bottle and glass aside.
"If I'm not mistaken, then this plague must have been created by my little cutie."
"Cutie?"
"That's right."
In response to Elise's curious inquiry, Jenn nodded.
"Although I don't know who started and spread this plague, I at least know that the person who created this plague should be my lovely sister, Nabelius." (To be continued......)
