Artificer Adventure Guide

A week later, Breeze County.

Towards evening, the guards at the city gate prepared to close the city gate.

Just then, one of the guards saw something white shaking on the road in the distance.

"Hey! Look what that is..."

Just as he was asking his companions beside him, an arrow shot through the air and pierced his head directly from his eye socket.

The guard was so weak that he fell to the ground on the spot, while his companion belatedly planned to escape.

But new arrows struck again, and the second guard was shot to death at the city gate by random arrows.

The other guards on the city wall were alerted by the movement below and did not bother to collect the bodies of the two colleagues. They immediately turned the noose and planned to lower the city gate.

Their judgment was accurate. A few seconds later, the Skeleton Knight rushed out of the woods with his undead team.

After taking a look at the fallen city gate, he didn't hesitate to fight, turned his horse's head and left in the direction he came from.

After being messed with like this, the guards on the city wall didn't know what to do.

Reopen the city gate and go out to collect the corpses of your colleagues?

What if the other party comes back to kill me again?

Just stay here?

But the other party seems to have left!

Looking at the forest in the distance, the guards of Breeze County were in a dilemma.

As a city far away from Aundair's main train lines, Breeze County's location is not that important.

It is mainly famous for brewing Aundair red wine, and most of the people in the town are winery workers or related workers.

Even during the Last War, not many people would attack here.

Therefore, Breeze County's defensive strength can barely be considered "there", but that's all.

Even if the bandits nearby wanted to rob, they would basically rob the lightning train transporting goods.

In such a town with almost a net outflow of population, the strength of the guards will naturally not be very strong.

So once these people discussed it, they just informed the lord of the attack just now, while they themselves continued to guard and did not dare to open the city gate.

It wasn't until the next morning that they dared to take back the bodies of their two colleagues.

But for some reason, just one night had passed, and the bodies of the two of them looked a little bad.

The soldiers responsible for transporting the corpses returned to their respective homes. After changing their posts, these soldiers always felt a faint stench lingering around them.

…

Three days later, Varna City.

It was another early morning, and Carl was about to go downstairs to have breakfast with his parents, Hope, and Lisanna. However, as soon as he came downstairs, he found that his mother was putting on the sheriff's equipment with the help of his father and preparing to go out.

"Huh? Son, are you awake? There's something going on at mom's work. You and your dad can go out and buy some breakfast today."

After a few hurried instructions, Ellifil left the house and left the house on a magic horse.

"You even got on your mount, what happened?"

After washing his face, Karl asked Ryan about the reason why his mother went to work early.

Ryan frowned, his expression a little heavy.

"There was a plague in Breeze County. A businessman who went to do business there was infected. Fortunately, he was discovered in time and the disease did not spread. The druids in the city had dispersed the plague and sent people to inquire on the other side. Condition."

In this magical world, ordinary plagues have almost no conditions to spread.

Whether it is a priest, a druid or even a mage, there are countless ways to treat the plague.

But if it was a magical plague created by the Necromancy School, then things might be a little serious.

Ordinary magic may not necessarily cure it.

"Plague? At this time? Could it be that the remnants of bandits who were eliminated by the ranger troops came back to take revenge?"

Although he said so, Karl himself felt that this idea was not reliable.

Those who can become robbers have either committed a crime or offended someone, or they are simply a guy who is afraid of chaos in the world or a member of a terrorist organization.

Such a loyal person should have been cleared and disembarked long ago.

"Ha! Who knows, but our production line must be tightened up. If something happens in the next few days, our armaments in Vana City cannot be held back."

Although Ryan is a businessman, that is only in normal times. If Vana City encounters a crisis, his factory will become Vana City's strategic material supplier.

Most of the factories in Eluden are basically like this.

This is also a rule left behind when the relationship with Aundair was not good.

In those days, men in every village received militia training.

"Well! If we work harder today, we can complete the debugging. In fact, the first half of the production line is already ready for production. I will adjust the second half and it should be fine."

While Hope and Lisanna were still awake, the father and son went out to buy breakfast.

By the time they came back, Hope and Lisanna had come out.

After explaining what happened in the city to the two of them, Carl and Ryan finished their meal and took the carriage to the factory.

Time came to noon, just when most people in Varna City were preparing to enjoy lunch, a loud horn echoed over the city.

Instead of slowing down, a lightning train accelerated after entering the deceleration zone.

Realizing that something was wrong, the railway department immediately raised the railway bridge from Vanna City to Aundair. As a result, the lightning train still did not slow down and directly hit the raised bridge deck.

Anyone can see that something is going on.

"Rangers! Gather on the city wall!"

"Sheriffs! Maintain order in the city. If you see anyone causing a riot, arrest them directly! Those with serious circumstances will be shot on the spot!"

In the sky, the druids riding giant eagles issued orders to the citizens of the city.

Wana City quickly entered a state of war, and even the cruise ship that was originally preparing to set sail at the port was detained.

At Carl's home, Hope and Lisanna looked at each other, then picked up their equipment and went to the city wall.

Seeing Lisanna and Hope coming, the ranger captain who was directing his men frowned.

The situation was not so critical that even the children had to go on the field, but after Lisanna demonstrated the power of the [8000 Life], the ranger captain's attitude loosened.

"Okay, follow me first. Our enemies are currently mainly stationed on the Vernaan Bridge. Their combat units are mainly undead creatures. It looks like the Emerald Claw Knights are acting crazy again."

In Khorvaire, any terrorist attack related to the undead is more or less related to this organization.

Even they sometimes take the initiative to take the blame for terrorist attacks.

But the current situation is definitely done by the Emerald Claw Knights in the eyes of the Ranger Captain. After all, the appearance of the Skeleton Knights and the Karrnath Undead Soldiers is too easy to recognize.

"Oh? Then let me teach them a lesson first!"

After climbing up the wall, Lisanna placed the sniper rifle on the parapet and pulled the trigger.

In the distance, the bone flagpole that was originally fluttering in the wind suddenly broke, and the undead creatures that were crawling out of the derailed train paused, as if their attributes were weakened all of a sudden.
