Fate could see that the other party didn't seem to understand what his superior had done, but he had no choice but to accept it.

I happened to know that I was a retired knight, so with the mentality of trying everything possible, I found myself and told myself these things.

"I also did a private survey. Those who had nightmares said that the feelings in the dream were extremely real, and it didn't feel like a dream at all. So I thought again, could it be that......"

"It's really not a dream?" Chris guessed. "If it's not a dream, then what else could it be?"

"........."

Is it possible that this isn't a dream?

Fate pondered this sentence over and over again. She found that she seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding. She thought that Rowling's "nightmare" every night must be just a dream. All along, the other party said that the dream was extremely real, but she always thought it was just caused by Rowling's mental weakness.

In addition, Fate is not a knight, has no investigation rights, and cannot contact the infected people. Rowling is the only isolated case.

So without knowing the other infected people, he felt that the nightmare might only happen to Rowling, or it might only happen to some infected people, and they could not be linked together.

After all, the idea of ​​infecting viruses in dreams is really a fantasy. No one would have thought that if such an operation really happened, the empire would be doomed.

Chris reminded her unintentionally.

What if those so-called dreams are not real dreams, but actually happened? ?

If this is not a dream, can the virus be spread in this way? ?

Thinking of the Dreamstone he found in the mountains a few days ago, Fate felt a chill in his heart.

It seems that there is really a possibility...

No, it shouldn't be like that. He wouldn't do that, and there's no reason for him to do that, right?

After all, he grew up under my watch. How could he, who was born in a poor family and had a strong sense of responsibility, do such a thing? ?

Chapter 94: 92 ~ Other Nests

Seeing that Fate was lost in thought, Chris did not disturb him. Although he graduated from the Knight Academy and had been a knight for some years, he was still not professional enough in this area. It would surely be better if he could hand it over to someone more professional and experienced.

Fate fell into deep thought for a long time, and finally raised his head.

"Got a clue?" Chris guessed that if Fate was really an experienced old knight, this was the first incident for him and he might have dealt with similar ones before. It would definitely be much easier for him to find clues than for him who was restricted by his boss.

"Well, I have some clues, but don't hold out too much hope." Fate thought about it again and again, and felt that this should just be a coincidence, not what he guessed. Moreover, the magnetic field that can match the Dream Marrow Stone and synchronize it is quite direct. It is not certain whether "that thing" can be synchronized by the Dream Marrow Stone.

Moreover, it is also possible that the cultists found something similar and used it to spread the virus. Anything is possible.

No matter what, he had to go up the mountain once more to find out whether there were other demons in the back mountain and whether there were still dream marrow stones piled up in their nests.

In short, the specific situation can only be known after a detailed investigation.

It should be impossible...

"I can only wait about three more days at most." Without waiting for Fate to continue thinking, Chris spoke again, and as he spoke, his eyes occasionally glanced towards the inner room of the church.

"Thank you." Fate has now resigned as a knight. Despite this, he believes that what Chris did was completely right. On the contrary, he himself, perhaps because he has been out of office for too long and has not enforced the law as a knight for too long, has also undergone some changes in his character.

"No need to thank me. I have no intention of showing favoritism or shielding anyone. I just think that as long as a human being's body and mind haven't turned into a demon, she is still a human being."

"She is still a human being now, and a knight cannot judge an innocent person." Chris looked at the statue standing in the center of the church.

"You are a worthy knight."

"But..." Chris changed the subject, his eyes becoming more fierce. "I won't attack her until her body and mind have completely transformed into a demon, but once she shows signs of turning into a demon, I won't hold back."

"I will get rid of her before she turns into a demon." Chris's tone was calm but solemn.

"I see."

After the conversation between the two, Chris came to the statue and worshiped, then walked out of the church as if nothing had happened, as if he had come here just to worship the statue.

After Chris left, Fate put on his armor and sword. He was ready to go and find the demons.

"Mr. Fate, where are you going so late?" Seeing this, Rowling called out to Fate and clasped her hands together.

"Don't worry." Fate saw her panic at the moment and comforted her. "I'll be back soon."

"Are you going to find the cause of the disease?"

"Ah."

"Can't we give it to the knight just now?"

"They encountered some difficulties, some difficulties that were difficult to solve."

"Then, you can leave tomorrow?"

Fate knew that Rowling felt very insecure, especially now that night had fallen. Without him by her side, she was worried that she would once again fall into that familiar despair and nightmare.

"Time is running out, there's no time left," Fate explained. "I have to determine the cause of the plague as soon as possible."

"Then..." Rowling hesitated to speak, and finally could only look at Fate eagerly. For some reason, as she stared at Fate, she felt a strong reluctance in her heart, as if this was the last time she would part with him.

Do you want to reveal your identity? ...

She was very scared. Thousands of words came to her lips, but she only said one sentence: "Be careful on the road."

"I'll be back soon."

"Can we... meet again?"

"What are you talking about? Of course." Fate looked back, picked up his sword, left the city and went up the mountain.

Rowling pursed her lips and watched the knight's back disappear into the darkness.

In order to prevent the situation of insufficient magic power like last time, he ate several large pieces of dried meat and drank a few sips of ice blueberry wine before setting off.

The night obscured the outline of the barren mountain. It got dark quickly. At first, you could still see the edge of the mountain wrapped in the sunset, but now you can't see anything.

The barren mountains were filled with the sound of Fate's footsteps. Due to physical changes, Fate's weight had dropped significantly, and his footsteps were much lighter than before. Walking in the mountains, his footsteps and the sound of the wind gradually merged together.

He first came to the previous cave. There was nothing here. He could not smell any scent of demons, and there were no new ambushes. It seemed that after making the demons retreat last time, the manipulator behind the scenes did not intend to continue causing trouble.

This is a bit confusing.

Fate also hopes that they will come to cause trouble for him, so that he can do nothing and not show his tracks. Batti City is surrounded by mountains. If they really want to hide, wouldn't it be like a fish entering the sea? How can he start looking for them?

After wandering around in the barren mountain for a long time, Fate was sweating profusely.

In this way, he would be like a headless fly, wandering around aimlessly. If he had to look for it alone, he might not be able to find it even if he were given another three weeks. Chris hinted that the Knights could not help much, so even he had to rely on Fate, the retired knight.

Before he even looked around the deserted mountains, Fate felt that the cultists might have moved to another place. Batti City was surrounded by mountains, and they would move to another place after each shot. Not to mention whether they were still around Batti City, even if they were still there, where would he start looking for them? ?

"Boom boom boom!" Just when Fate was at a loss, a flash of fire suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain.

"What is that?..." Fate, who noticed the fire first, observed carefully. Based on his years of experience, he determined that the explosion was not an accident, but man-made.

The shape of the explosion was not caused by magic such as fireball. He did not feel the spread of the magic explosion, but instead smelled the scent of potion.

As to why he could smell it from such a distance, it was probably due to the awakening of the fox bloodline, which greatly enhanced his five senses.

No matter why the alchemical potion exploded in that place, he had to go down the mountain to see what happened, so Fate rushed down the mountain.

one-one-one-one-one-one

"Hey, this potion is more powerful than I thought! No wonder those alchemists in the palace are so popular." In a depression somewhere at the foot of the mountain, the man in black robe clapped his hands hurriedly, fearing that there would be some residual potion on his hands.

"This commotion should be big enough, right?" There was no need for anyone to answer, as the demons pouring out of the cave had already answered his question.

The demons have night vision capabilities, and they immediately noticed the suspicious man standing in front of their lair. There was no doubt that the "firecracker" just now was obviously the masterpiece of this man.

"Uh... Hi, good evening, everyone. Have you eaten? Have you washed your face? Are you ready for bed? Well, I'm sorry to bother you... Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm just passing by." The man spread his hands.

These low-level demons would not listen to what the man said, nor could they understand it, and they certainly would not let the human who discovered their nest leave.

No matter if he did it on purpose or by accident, once he comes, don't think about leaving.

Chapter 95: 93~I just happened to pass by

"Hey, guys, what are you doing? This is too enthusiastic, isn't it?" Seeing the demons surrounding him, the man in black robe took a few steps back. "Do you want to see me off? No, really no, I'm just passing by, I can't accept such a gift."

The demons looked at each other, some of them made a detour to encircle the man, while the rest surrounded him to prevent him from escaping.

"Hey, there's no need for such a big fuss, right? Then I won't disturb you." With that, the man in black turned around and was about to run.

Of course the demons would not let him get away, and seeing that the man was about to escape, the demon responsible for outflanking him took the lead and cooperated with the demons in front to kill the man.

"Hey! Stop hitting me! It's just a firecracker. Are you so stingy?... Hey, stop hitting me! I won't do it again. I won't do it again next time! Big brother, spare me!"

"Help! Someone come and save the poor man's life!"

"These pigs are going to kill someone!"

The demons that pounced on him were about to grab the man's cloak, veins popping out on their faces, and they were determined to pull the man's hood off and beat him into a pulp.

The man shouted at the top of his lungs as he ran, but the more he shouted, the angrier the demons behind him became.

The dazzling gilt roared and rolled like waves, brushing past the man and drowning the demons chasing after him like a tsunami.

[Shenglun Ancient Sword Style Cleansing]

"Hey! Miss, my miss! You are finally here, help me! Help me!" Before the man could finish his words, the overflowing light almost cut the man's bangs.

The man opened his mouth but didn't dare to say anything else.

The violent and wanton magic and will swept up the girl's platinum-colored hair and clothes, and her helmet disappeared without a trace at some point.

The man shut his mouth and crawled behind Fate who arrived in time. The demons also shifted their attention from the weak man to the heroic and beautiful blonde girl in front of them.

"Miss, it's them, these are the people who bully me!" The man shrank to Fate's thigh and pointed at the demons, then shouted at them.

"You're done for! My eldest lady is here, who dares to act rashly? My eldest lady is here to protect me!"

Even Fate almost couldn't help but kick him because of his shameless look.

"I won't care about you if you keep talking nonsense." Fate leaned on the sword with both hands and glanced at the man coldly with his dark eyebrows.

"Hey, don't be like that, I was just joking." The man immediately laughed. "After all, we have met once before."

"Excuse me, who are you?" The blonde girl snorted coldly, but the man's flattering smile only earned her a cold face.

"What? We just met a few days ago, have you forgotten already? Oh, miss, your attitude really makes me sad." Yes, this man who pretended to be affectionate and sad was the suspicious person, Andrew, who was found by Fate near the cave that morning.

"I don't remember ever meeting a fellow like you."

"How can we not be considered acquaintances? I have already introduced myself. Oh, by the way, Miss, you know my name, but I don't know yours. What's your name?"

"Shut up." Fate raised his sword.

"Ouch! Don't be angry, don't be angry!" Andrew immediately took a defensive posture and closed his eyes. The next moment he realized that Fate was chopping at the approaching demon.

There was still some golden flame on the ordinary half-sword, and the upper half of the demon that was chopped off fell to the ground at the same time as the flame went out.

The burned-out demons disappeared and were teleported back to the demon world.

"Good fight, young lady! It will be a piece of cake to destroy these demons!" The man acted as a supporting role in the back, waving flags and cheering.

Fate calculated the remaining amount of magic power and found that he could probably release five more heart spells. If it were converted into magic, it would be a different story, but Fate did not know magic.

It might be difficult to destroy higher-level demons, but it is more than enough to destroy these low-level demons with limited abilities and no magic.

Seeing that the enemy was a tough nut to crack, the demons changed their tactics. Instead of continuing to send the gourd brothers to save their grandfather one by one, they surrounded and attacked them all at once.

All of a sudden, countless sharp claws and big hands attacked her. Seeing this, Fate swung his sword and released a long golden tail.

[Shenglun Ancient Sword Flow Gilded Sweep]

The golden [Intent] swept across, sweeping away all the attacking demons like a violent storm.

After taking a dose of Heart Technique, many low-level demons were able to stand up again, showing their strong vitality.

And this is just the lowest level of power in the demon world.

Even though they knew they could not defeat this blonde female human, the demons still had no intention of retreating. They had been given a death order to stay here.

The demon clapped his hands, splashing large pieces of broken mud and gravel on the ground.

Fate had already dodged and used his sword to block the sharp claws of another demon. He kicked it in the abdomen, knocking it back, and then swept his sword across.
