The sound of horses' hooves was in front and the sound of wheels was behind, and after a few soldiers on tall horses passed by, two carriages galloped past the country road.

The black dragon let the maid sit in his arms, because the country road was uneven, and the shock absorption of this carriage was not very good, and now the carriage was very fast, so the carriage was also very bumpy.

He didn't care much about himself, after all, he was a dragon, and although he had turned into a human form, he was still a dragon in essence, and he didn't care about these bumps.

He doesn't care, it doesn't mean that the maid can withstand it!

Cervantes didn't think that the maid's 'weak' body could withstand such a bump, although it had been exercised, it was still a mortal body, and after sitting in such a bumpy car for a long time, not to mention the waist, the buttocks would feel pain.

The convoy and the coachmen took up residence in Baron Vageler's mansion, and they brought only a few strong soldiers with them.

There were no knights on this trip, because they all had their own tasks, so it was impossible for them to leave their tasks behind and gather around the maid and the black dragon, because those tasks were given by the maid herself.

The maid is very confident, she believes in herself, with her own and Cervantes' abilities, even if she really encounters some conspiracy, she can escape if she can't beat them, and in this world, there are not many existences that can leave them - even gods!

The coachmen, the guards, and the horses are tired, so let them rest first!

Otherwise, if they really need to escape, they may become a burden, so it is better to order them to 'stay put' in the first place."

They had the name of 'everything is simple', so Baron Vagler was not able to carry too many guards, and even he himself had to sit in the carriage behind him, enjoying the bumps with his fat and old body.

It was getting late, like the blood of the sun slowly sinking, the evening wind blew the clouds in the sky, and the fire shone in front of it—

Here they are!

Knowing that the lord and the chief maid were coming, Baron Wagler's private soldiers had been stationed outside the slaughtered village since yesterday, otherwise they would have been gone long ago, and who would like to stay in such a place where there might be a breeding ground for the undead?

The maid whispered in the black dragon's ear, "My leg is numb, help me down." ”

Cervantes nodded, and helped the maid down from the carriage.

As soon as he opened the door, Cervantes frowned, and he smelled a rancid stench wafting through the air.

At this time, with the support of one of his knights, Baron Vageler limped over and said with a bitter face: "Lord maid, lord lord, do we want to go over now or ......"

"It's over now!"

On the way here, the maid ate a few loaves of bread and did not feel hungry.

She's going to go over and see what it's like now!

"That'...... All right. ”

Baron Wagler sneered: "That...... Maid Lord, can I let my knight take you there, it's been a bumpy ride, I'm old again, and now my legs and feet are inconvenient......"

The maid's eyes narrowed and nodded, "Yes, Baron Wagler, you are old and didn't realize that this matter is also my fault, so please take a rest first!"

Then, at the order of Baron Wagler, one of his knights came up and said respectfully to the black dragon and the maid: "Lord Duke, Lord Maid, please come with me." ”

The maid was reluctant to let the black dragon hold her, Cervantes was not happy, and hugged her horizontally under her exclamation, and the maid had no choice but to hook Cervantes's neck with her hand to make herself lie more comfortable.

After the drag was gone, the knight and Cervantes strode forward, and on the way, the knight said in a heavy tone: "We suspect that the 'massacre' of the village is the work of the cultists, because only cultists can spare no one—yes, everyone who was in the village at that time died! ”

"Today is the third day after we got the news, and when we arrived, we found that some of the bodies had begun to decompose, and since it was summer, we roughly guessed that the massacre took place, about five to seven days ago. ”

"None of them fled, which means that it was probably a premeditated massacre! If it was a robber, they would not usually choose to slaughter a village, and according to the traces in the village, it was a group that slaughtered the village, and the villagers had resisted before they were slaughtered, and many bodies were found near the wall, and they tried to escape, but they could not escape. ”

"The people who slaughtered didn't set fire, they just slaughtered, and then they put the bodies there, as if they were just for slaughter, based on this, we speculate that this may be the 'blood sacrifice' of the cultists! But unfortunately, we didn't find any traces of the sacrifice in the village, so we can't tell what kind of cultists it was. ”

"The pastors of several major churches such as the Radiant Church and the Righteous Church have already arrived, but they haven't found much, and even they can't tell what kind of cultist is holding a blood sacrifice. ”

The knight spoke very well, and basically had made the situation and analysis of the scene clear, so that the maid could have a lot less to do, but it also brought them bad news.

Even the pastors of several major churches couldn't tell what kind of blood sacrifice it was, so even she might not be able to see anything at the scene.

She doesn't specialize in this business, and she doesn't think she can be better than those priests in this kind of thing, they are professionals!

By the time the knight told them, they had reached the outside of the village, and at this distance even the maid could smell the stench.

Only half of the village's gates still hung on the walls, and the remaining half lay quietly on the ground, splattered with the once warm red blood—but now black and cold.

The flickering firelight in the cold village brought the only bit of warmth to the dead land.

There was supposed to be a corpse lying on the door panel on the ground, but it had now been pulled away, and now only a layer of blood remained.

The knight and the black dragon stood outside the village, looking at the 'bewitching' fire inside, and the rancid stench that permeated the air seemed to be even more disgusting.

"Put me down. The maid whispered.

Cervantes put Serena down, and when Serena's feet landed, her legs went limp, but fortunately she held the black dragon's arm in time, so she didn't sit on the ground.

Standing still, feeling the sensation of her legs, the maid stepped forward and walked into the unpopular village, followed by the silent black dragon and the knight.

Although soldiers were stationed outside the village, there were also people stationed in the village.

The people of the church were afraid that those who had died would 'come back from the dead', so they sent paladins and priests to guard the area.

It was a chore, and they wanted to cremate the bodies as soon as possible, if they could, but the head maid and the lords were coming, and even the clergy needed to obey their orders for the time being, not to mention that the clergy who were stationed here were also people of the Sadwind Leader, and they didn't have much resistance to obeying orders.

"Alas......"

One of the stationed paladins had just sighed when he saw someone approaching.

"Who?" the paladin shouted, warily drawing his weapon.

"It's the maid lord and the lord!" the knight who followed the maid hurriedly replied.

At this time, the clergy also gathered around, and in the light of the fire, they saw a woman and two men, one of whom was wearing armor and his waving hand had not yet been lowered, which should be the one who had just spoken.

The rest was a man and a woman, the woman was dressed in black and white, with a beautiful face and a pair of sharp and bright eyes, while the man had a pair of bright yellow eyes. It's scary to look at, and that's their most striking feature.

They knew the knight in armor, so were these two really lords and chief maids?

The clergy compared the physiognomy of a man and a woman in front of them with the portrait of the 'lord and chief maid', and then they put away their weapons and bowed their heads.

"I've seen the maid! I've seen the lord!"

The maid waved her hand, walked up to them, and asked, "No need to be polite, what about the corpses?"

The clergy looked at each other, and a priest hesitated for a moment, then stepped out of the way, "Lord Maid, Lord Lord, please here, we have moved the bodies together, and after the two of them have been examined, we will prepare for collective cremation to prevent the corpses from being resuscitated......"

They walked to the clearing at the other end of the village, where the bodies were placed together, all covered with a sheet of linen, but some of them were incomplete, revealing their hands and feet......

After coming here, the smell of rancid was even stronger, green-headed flies flew on the corpses, and many of the clergy turned pale when they arrived, as if they remembered something bad.

The maid was not pretentious at all, and together with the black dragon, she lifted the linen covered with many corpses to examine the corpses.

The smell of the stench in her nose made her feel a little sick to her stomach, which was a physiological reaction that she couldn't stop, but she and Cervantes also figured out the cause of death of these villagers in the shortest possible time.

Most of them were killed with a single hit, and the scars were all on the neck, but after the throat was cut, the villagers did not die immediately, but struggled in pain for a while before dying......

This is deliberate!
