The girl was so angry that she was lying on the ground.

Qin Ming did not answer this question. She resisted the urge to look at Angus with hostility, suppressed the malice in her body, and wiped the black blood on her face.

"The light just now was only aimed at the evil spirits you mentioned? What is its principle?"

Seeing that the girl had no intention of continuing to talk about this topic, William lowered his head helplessly and lostly, and replied in a low voice: "You need to find the answer yourself, I have no right to tell you."

"Ah!! Meat!"

Angus's heartbreaking wail drew everyone's attention back. At this moment, he was lying on the ground like a wild dog, randomly picking up the cooked meat stained with ash in the extinguished embers, and his heartless appearance changed his previous decadent fatigue.

"Let's go, it's getting dark."

William pulled up the scarf around his neck, climbed on the horse, rode to Qin Ming's seemingly petite and weak body, took off his leather gloves, and revealed an arm that seemed to be burned by flames and looked particularly hideous.

"Dear guest, I welcome you on behalf of Leighton. Please get on the horse, the journey is still long."

The middle-aged man was forced to let go of his deep defense. He chose to welcome this "outsider" who might bring a glimmer of hope to Leighton. Accept this possible danger, or hold the bones of the Diwenka clan and be buried together. The bigwigs in the city will definitely make their decision.

Qin Ming stretched out a pair of white jade-like arms, and the two palms of huge size were tightly clasped together.

William didn't say a word, silently feeling the soft and cold touch on his hands, as if holding a dead object, combined with the girl's elegant and perfect smile, a strange feeling of discomfort suddenly appeared in his mind. When he came to his senses, the girl had already appeared behind him, and the floating black clothes then tightly covered her body and did not move.

"Captain, what are you doing? Let's go!"

"Is this a plague?"

Qin Ming sat on the horseback, looking at this ancient, old but extremely solid medieval town. There were large and small camps around like wanderers, and sick people with ashen faces were sitting, standing, and groaning unconsciously.

A woman holding a baby in her arms had dilated and turbid pupils, and her face was covered with some growing blood and flesh hyphae. She collapsed in a corner of the city wall like mud, and the faintly visible carrion flies and insects were growing on her body.

A foul smell like rotten meat fermentation filled this messy and desperate area.

"It was just a common epidemic at first, but I don't know why it developed like this." William endured the stench and continued, "Ordinary people who are infected will grow filth, and even the magic used by the church's priests can't save them, or the cost is too high. It's not worth using scarce resources for some ordinary people."

"So you gave up on them?"

William paused and said hoarsely, "The lord's decision is not wrong. The resources in the city are becoming increasingly scarce. All the useless houses have been demolished and the land has been left to grow food. Most of the drinkable well water has been polluted. There is only one spring of divine grace left in the center of the church. We just did what we should do, and the gods will accept their sacrifice."

Qin Ming took back the straightforward words in her mouth. As her emotions became more and more real, she gradually realized that a suitable stop would benefit both parties. This man was escaping, and he obviously didn't dare to face these people. And Qin Ming was not qualified to criticize this practice of sacrificing the small to protect the big.

The city gate slowly opened, and a group of armored soldiers slowly walked out. In Qin Ming's extraordinary vision, they were just a group of ordinary people with slightly better physical fitness.

"William? Who is this?"

A soldier who looked like a captain pulled down his heavy helmet, revealing a pair of tired and sunken eyes, and looked at the beautiful girl sitting quietly on the horse in surprise.

"Guest..."

The city gate fell heavily, and the groaning accompanied by a little weak crying fell into the gradually darkening night...

The medieval architectural style town seemed to have reached the curfew time. A group of fully armored soldiers held torches and lined up in a row. The rustling sound of armor rubbing against each other accompanied their nervous steps as they patrolled around.

The long and stale bells rang throughout the Leiden Territory. The sparse buildings could see the more severely decayed wooden beams, and the eyes full of despair and loss looked out from the dimly lit rooms.

Qin Ming and others rode slowly on the quaint stone road, passing through a residential area and a small planting area, and came to the inner city area with the only slight breath of life.

.

Buildings made of stone bricks began to come into Qin Ming's sight, and the faceless guards stood quietly like statues.

Across the stone bridge, a group of quaint and elegant medieval castles appeared in everyone's sight.

"This is the main city of Loren Leighton. Everyone else, please go to Hansen to have a drink and rest." William said, "Madam, please follow me, I will take you to see our lord, Count Reeves Cavendish, and Commander Lowe."

Qin Ming looked at the cathedral built next to the city lord's mansion in the distance, and an uncomfortable breath came from there...

The moment she pushed open the door of the main hall, a bright color shone on Qin Ming's eyes with strong night vision, making her eyes slightly squint, and then she began to look at the surrounding environment.

The spacious and gorgeous murals and jade steps looked dim and gray due to years of disrepair. The orange-glowing stones were hung on the gorgeous candlesticks around. The sense of medieval foreign land that came to Qin Ming aroused great interest.

As the two of them moved forward, they stopped in front of a spacious and refined wooden door, and the laughter of men and women chasing each other came from inside.

William sighed silently, wiped his dirty clothes unconfidently, smoothed the messy hair on his head, and then knocked on the door gently.

The voice inside stopped abruptly, accompanied by a young voice cursing, and a hurried footsteps approached.

The door opened. It was opened by a young and flushed maid. She was disheveled and her face was full of embarrassment and shyness.

"You, the lowly person again? What are you doing here at this time?!"

A sudden and crisp voice of a young man came, William lowered his head deeply, and said apologetically: "Master Edward, there is something important to report to the Earl."

"Lowly person! Don't you know how to salute?!"

A luxurious young man in gold-studded clothes appeared in Qin Ming's sight. He had a head of golden hair as shiny as Angus, and his tender face was twisted with disdain. He looked extremely luxurious in his gestures. William, who bowed his head to salute, was like a tramp, submitting to the majesty of feudalism at this moment, and lowered his warrior's head.
