Chapter 83 The Seed of Plague
For a true soldier, dying on the battlefield is the greatest glory.According to the military tradition of Istaren, after the battle, the soldiers should collect the bones of their comrades-in-arms, take them back to their hometown, and bury them in the warrior's cemetery.If conditions permit, the army will also ask the priests of the temple to pray for the dead and bless their souls to ascend to heaven.

"I didn't choose my faith carefully during my lifetime, and I hoped to go to the kingdom of heaven after death... how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"Poor guy, I guess they don't know that except for those who are devout, their souls will belong to the gods behind the sacrifices who pray... They were pawns manipulated by the big men in life, and their souls will be manipulated by those hypocrites after death." The gods are playing."

Two black figures sneaked into the morgue quietly, sneering and sarcastic while carefully examining the corpse.

"Damn it, why are they all as clean as if they've been licked by a cat?" The leader of the black shadow rummaged through the pile of corpses for a long time, and couldn't help cursing: "The stinky bitches of the nun group have been released at least three times. Does expulsion of the magic of purification, the magic of the Temple of Life do not cost money? Or is it because of the lack of a man's caress and excess energy?"

"It seems that they are on guard?" Another shadow asked suspiciously.

"For the regular army, this is a common-sense precautionary measure, but this time their clergy staffing is more luxurious." The leader of the black shadow said with no surprise.He took his pocket, took out a few black crystals the size of eyes, and stuffed them into the corpse's mouth.

"This kind of superficial preventive measures may have an effect on ordinary disease transmission, but it is not worth mentioning in the face of real plague natural disasters. As long as there is enough time and the right environment, no one can stop these plague seeds spread."

The body that swallowed the jet-black crystals had a thin layer of bluish-black aura floating on the pale face that had lost its blood color, which became more and more difficult to detect in the dark night.

"But these corpses have undergone basic embalming treatment..." Another black shadow said hesitantly.

"Idiot, why don't we let it rot again!" said the leader of the shadow angrily.

"Releasing the corruption spell will cause mana fluctuations, won't it be noticed by the mages in the barracks?"

"How could the mage stay up all night until now, as long as we are careful."

After burying all the plague seeds, the two shadows looked at each other, nodded, and chanted the spell of corruption in a low voice.With the release of the spell, the skin of each corpse gradually began to fester, emitting a disgusting stench.

As long as these corpses enter a state of decay, the plague seeds in the body will immediately decompose and spread, spreading outward along the air, and it only takes one day to infect the entire military camp.The plague, known as a natural disaster, has spread far beyond human imagination.

Although they knew that the source of the plague was right under their feet, the two black shadows didn't care about their positions, and even greedily breathed in the foul-smelling air, showing sick and crazy smiles on their faces.

"Praise my lord! Let the plague and natural disaster come and punish this chaotic and dirty world!"

The leader, Soi Ying, was in a state of excitement, and suddenly felt a tightness in his ankle.He looked down subconsciously, and the crazy smile suddenly froze on his face.

"I said... did you put the wrong spell?"

"Are you kidding!" Another black figure asked back without knowing why, but when he turned his head, the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.

A long-dead soldier got up at some point, staring blankly at the two moving black shadows. He got up stiffly, stretched out his hand and grabbed the living man's cockroach closest to him. thigh.

Under the bright moonlight, the dead in the morgue kept struggling to stand up, making unexplained hoarse voices, and slowly surrounded them.

"No, no, no... isn't it? Did you take the wrong pocket?"

"How is it possible!" The black shadow at the head angrily took out a plague seed left in his pocket, stuck out his tongue and licked it fiercely: "It tastes right! It's impossible for this thing to summon zombies! "

The moonlight shone on the bodies of the two shadows, revealing the pale faces that are the signature of the Cultists of the Curse.The two looked at each other, their expressions became very exciting surrounded by many zombies.

Wait... Moonlight?The two ignored the zombie's entanglement and looked up at the same time.The silver moon hanging high in the sky is no different from usual, but the moonlight tonight is extraordinarily bright and dazzling, almost reflecting the ground as snow-bright.

"We've been tricked..." the leader of the Cursed Cultist stared at the moon dully and murmured.

........................

"Do you think the Cursed Sect will take action tonight?"

"Tonight is the best chance. The war has just ended, and the corpse is still alive. Even after being blessed by a sacrifice, it can still be used to spread the plague."

"Why do I feel that you are more proficient in this business than they themselves?"

"Isn't there an old saying that the one who knows you best is often your enemy..."

When chatting about this topic, El and Tiana were following the imperial envoy's carriage back to the inner city of Istaron.Since the owner had not yet returned, Earl Snake was embarrassed to live directly in the castle of the White Lion family no matter how thick-skinned he was, so he chose to stay in the most luxurious and high-end hotel in the inner city.

Maybe there are some other factors in it, such as the Imperial Envoy has some little secrets that he doesn't want to be discovered by the White Lion Family... But what he did was in the hands of El.

"Are you really planning to stand by this time?" Al always felt a little unbelievable about the girl's abnormal behavior. Based on what he knew about her, the girl had always been an actionist without delay.

"Of course I won't stand idly by." Tiana nodded and said softly.

"Wait a minute, you won't..." Hearing the girl's strange tone, El's heart suddenly shuddered.

"That 'His Royal Highness' can settle everything, so we don't need to worry about it." Tiana said blankly: "Speaking of which, shouldn't we be more concerned about the issue of the Truth Society?"

"Okay, okay, I'm nosy." El shrugged helplessly, and glanced in the direction of the hotel.Earl Snake's entourage has settled down, and the hotel has returned to its former tranquility.

"I saw that a secret sentry has been set up on the roof. It may be difficult to sneak in secretly. Can your optical magic make us completely invisible?"

"Of course, but I don't think that's the best way." Tiana stretched out her fingers and drew an arc in the air, and smiled softly: "Mr. El, do you underestimate a magician too much?" ability?"

Five minutes later, a well-dressed young noble couple calmly walked into the service hall of the luxury hotel.

"Sorry, honorable sir and madam, we are closed today." The waiter said politely.

"But we already reserved the room three days ago." The young noble lady frowned and said angrily.

"Even if it's a reservation..." The waiter raised his head in embarrassment and wanted to explain, but when he saw the eyes of the noble lady, his mind suddenly became confused, and he forgot to explain in a daze.

"Your boss personally booked the room for us, you can check it out." The noble young man said impatiently.

"Okay, okay... I'll check it out." The waiter looked blankly into the eyes of the noble lady and said casually.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith, special suite." The noble lady smiled softly and said in a low voice.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith, special suite... that's right, it's like this." The waiter's eyes were in a daze, and he repeated the words on his mouth, then he shuddered and suddenly woke up.

"Forgive me, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, please come with me." He bent down respectfully, and led the two of them to the second floor.

Although only a moment passed, in the waiter's mind, the young noble couple had become the distinguished guests that the boss personally told him to take care of.As for the imperial envoy's request to reserve the entire hotel, he completely forgot about it.
