unreliable adventure

Sister Hua flew into the Knights' camp in a flash.The small stone window at the top of the barracks is the private room of the head of the knight order.An old man was writing something on a small table.I saw that he was bald on the top of his head, his temples were gray, his face was red and his neck was red, and he was only wearing a single linen shirt.The old man seemed to be preoccupied, wrote a line, and sighed again.Suddenly, he saw a flash of light flashing on his palm, and shouted: "Who is it?"

A shadowy mist appeared in the corner of the room, and the old man cautiously took two steps forward to disperse the shadows, but there was nothing, but a crisp laughter came from behind him.

The witch Glinda was sitting horizontally on the small desk, her snow-white thighs raised high.When the old man saw that it was her, he put away the light from his hand and said in a low voice: "Glinda, I should have known that if you couldn't even hide it from the guards of the Knights, I wouldn't have hired you."

"The dignified Knights of the Holy Light have also been reduced to collaborating with the evil witch."

"Glinda, I know you have a good heart."

Glinda lifted the fringe of her skirt and flicked her long legs.

The old knight was unmoved, and continued: "The hatred 200 years ago should not continue in our generation."

"Hatred, isn't it the hatred of your Knights?"

"Then for the sake of innocent civilians, we should do everything possible to avoid war, and we should cooperate."

Glinda jumped off the table and spread out the map on it.

The old knight also bowed down, gesturing at the northern border of the map: "The news from the kingdom of the dead is not optimistic, the Cathedral of the Holy Light..."

"Holy Light Cathedral?" Glinda raised her eyebrows.

The old knight sighed and pointed to the hinterland of the northern border: "Yes, it is the Cathedral of the Holy Light. Because of the blessing of the Holy Light, after the fall of the Northern Territory, the survivors never invaded the cathedral."

"Light lasted 200 years? That's unusual."

"The power of the holy light comes from faith. No, what I want to say is that the kingdom of the dead is recruiting soldiers and preparing for war. At this time, the holy light of the cathedral fluctuates abnormally."

"Maybe Queen Theda wants to find some people to tear down that hall?"

"Of course, Queen Theta of the Dead, she has some old grievances with the church, but the problem is not here." The old knight carefully took out a magic crystal from the drawer: "This is the record of the cathedral's energy fluctuations."

As soon as Glinda touched the magic crystal with her fingers, her expression changed.

The old knight went on to say: "This matter has already caused panic in the church. It seems that Theta is extracting the energy of the cathedral to make weapons. It is very likely that... it will be another devastating plague."

"It's not like Theta."

"So please be sure to check it out, and if necessary, destroy the cathedral's light source."

"The Knights disdain despicable sabotage, so they have to hire people to do the dirty work."

"Glinda... the scouts of the Knights cannot go deep into the hinterland of the northern border, and if they send troops rashly now, the last hope of peace will be destroyed."

Glinda waved her hands solemnly, tapped her knuckles twice on the table to signify her acceptance of the commission, and turned around to hide in the shadows.

In the shadows, Glinda caught Sister Hua who was gossiping and eavesdropping, and said, "You gossiping little blackie, have you seen it all? It's time to think about how to end the sins you committed back then."

I hate it, it's Sister Hua who is gossiping, not me.I just want to be a quiet and beautiful zombie, why should I end up with them?

I know there are too many things to worry about, but one of the benefits of the dead is that they can see things openly. Let Glinda and Fierro worry about the immediate troubles.I only have one big thing on my mind, me!want!sit!fly!boat!La!The steam airship has been invented for several years, and I have always wanted to sit and see.But as you know, dead people going to public places in broad daylight will inevitably disturb the good people. I have never dared to go there.This time the funds were sufficient, Glinda chartered a special plane, and I finally got what I wanted.The thought of airships makes my heart fly early.

Accompanied by the rumbling soot, the gigantic airbag of the airship slowly unfolded. The painting on the airbag is a galloping horse. The bright red and green pigments are smoked by thick black coal, making the color more vivid.The wet and soft mud floor was covered with greasy velvet, and I jumped onto the airship in three steps and two steps through the dedicated VIP passage.The moment it lifted off the ground, the huge airship was even lighter than Sister Hua's wings.With the sound of gears clicking, slender and knotted long legs grew on both sides of the pod, and they quickly accelerated and ran on the high tree canopy. With a leap of energy, they crossed the entire valley in the mountains.

I touched here, looked there, and after a while I leaned half of my body out of the window to listen to the whistling wind. This kind of behavior like a bumpkin entering the city aroused the contempt of the whole team.Anyway, I enjoyed it and arrived at my destination before I knew it.

The northern trading post, the northernmost commercial route can only reach here, a small town newly established by adventurers and pioneers.Although it is already late spring, you can see remnant snow if you go further north.On the field of remnant snow, a series of light towers are unfolded according to the terrain.Under the simple stone tower or wooden tower, there are many crystal plates spread out like flower petals.The crystal plates are used to collect and store sunlight, and then reflect it to the top of the tower, where the dazzling purification light beams circle around the circle over and over again.The frontier residents tried to use this light energy device to resist the remaining plague from invading the south.

I spread my hands and sensed the fluctuations of the surrounding magic elements.There is no trace of the plague, after all, the plague has been over for more than 100 years.The existence of the light tower is more to provide psychological comfort!

After passing the array of light towers and going north, legally speaking, it is the territory of the kingdom of the dead.Dead cedar trees stood tall and straight, uncleaned.

Glinda arranged for Wayne to read the Holy Light Cleansing every half hour and take care of Fran, Fierro and himself.Glinda said that a paladin was specially hired for this purpose.Although I think the half-hourly cleaning technique is a bit overprotective, but after all, we have entered an epidemic area, so it is always right to be cautious.

Wayne's ability to use light was a bit clumsy. As he traveled northward, the light element in the air became thinner and thinner, but the little knight only knew how to force it, and it took a lot of effort every time.The moves of the Knights are conservative, and they haven't improved at all in the past hundred years.I kind of wanted to go up to him and correct his gestures, but found it boring to do so.Besides, I have more pressing matters.

In the eyes of people who don't understand magic, I just walked low-key at the end of the team.In fact, I maintain a weak but extremely precise force field, communicating with the surrounding elements to counter any possible necromancy and magical traps.So far, the elemental returns are normal, although there are some traces of magical fluctuations, the beacons of plague and necromancy are always negative.The plague is a history of 200 years ago, I prefer to believe that it only exists in the hatred and memory of people today.One can see with the eyes alone, in the open space among the gray dead forests, in the crevices of the cracked ground, tenacious shrubs and weeds have long grown, and even a few sickly yellow and white flowers can be seen.
