"Daliana, are all nobles like this?"

On the way back, Parr broke the silence.

ah~

Darlene sighed, nodded, shook her head again, and said:

"Almost, at least in the Wind Wolf Kingdom, except for the central region, most of the nobles in other places have this virtue. After a thousand years, they have forgotten what a noble is, and have forgotten the true meaning of their ancestors' glory. They consider themselves superior and are extremely arrogant. "

"Is there any difference in the central region?" Pal asked, this is a good opportunity to get to know the nobles of the Wind Wolf Kingdom.

"Yes."

Darlene ruffled the hair by her ear and said softly:

"Since the disaster more than ten years ago, the current king, Greenton, has begun a drastic reform. In the name of the wind wolf king, he has conducted several assessments on the nobles in the central region. After eliminating a large number of them, they are no longer qualified to be The people of the nobility, the land of those people was allocated to the new nobility, and the whole central region became more and more prosperous, and everyone praised that King Greenton's exploits could rank second among the windwolf kings of all dynasties."

"That's it!"

Pal didn't ask who was number one, because other than the founding paladin, who would dare to be number one?

Darlene didn't stop talking, maybe she wanted to ease her depression by talking now.

ah~

Darlene sighed again and said as she walked, her voice revealing helplessness.

"Unfortunately, the nobility assessment system of King Greenton can't be implemented to the entire Wind Wolf Kingdom, otherwise the Wind Wolf Kingdom will definitely become the most powerful kingdom on the mainland, all blame those rotten nobles, other parts of the Wind Wolf Kingdom Although there are supporters among the nobles, the number is too small. King Greenton's reforms have hurt the fundamental interests of the nobles. At that time, King Greenton wanted to implement the nobility assessment system to the entire Wind Wolf Kingdom, but was met by other local authorities. Unanimous opposition from some nobles, and even three of the four dukes mobilized their troops, so King Greenton stopped the idea of ​​implementing the nobility assessment system to the entire kingdom as a last resort."

"…"

Parr fell silent, and in silence, the two returned to their carriage.

boom!

Par threw the sack on his back, moved his body, turned around and asked, "Dalena, you said that among the four dukes, the three dukes mobilized their troops. What about the other duke?"

"It's our Duke of the West."

Darlene walked to the west of the carriage, raised her hand and pointed to the fortress group in the west, which was still far away. Under the dark sky, she explained:

"The Cinder Lion Kingdom to the west of the Wind Wolf Kingdom is a powerful and aggressive kingdom. The Duke of the West Region, who bears the brunt of the Wind Wolf Kingdom, is impossible to escape, and because of the perennial war, the West Region fortress group cannot leave from the middle of the Wind Wolf Kingdom. Therefore, the Duke of Westland at that time supported King Greenton, but he only supported it verbally, and there was no more."

This is a very helpless thing. Everyone knows that the nobility assessment system can make the Wind Wolf Kingdom stronger, but because it involves their own interests, they do not implement it. It was only successfully executed under the eyes of the people, and he used the smallest territory to compete with several grand dukes.

Thousands of years have passed. Although the nobles in other places are loyal to the king of the wind wolf, the king of the sky is high and the land is far away, and the king of the wind wolf can't control them. It is not difficult for the nobles to unite to take you off the throne and re-establish a king in their favor, and it is not that it has not happened in history.

…

"What! No! Absolutely not..."

crackling...

"Uh uh uh..."

When John came back, he jumped up after learning that Darlene was going to go with them. The big face with more than ten lip prints was full of disapproval, and Darlene was electrocuted.

In the end, John with a dark face agreed to Darlene's accompaniment. Facing Pal's questioning about his lack of strength, he rubbed his face and said quite seriously:

"It's a traditional virtue of our wind wolf knights not to do anything with women."

"Ah!"

Hearing this, Darlene sneered inexplicably. Parr turned her head to look in confusion, but Darlene didn't explain anything. She jumped into the carriage and walked leisurely into the carriage.

At this point, there is another beautiful golden Darina who is traveling with Pal, and it is more convenient for Pal to ask questions.

Since then, the people of the Mist Caravan have never sent food to the three of them again. If it wasn't for the **** agreement signed, Edemi would have driven the three of them out of the caravan.

But even if she couldn't get out of the convoy, Demi would try to disgust Pal and the others. It was one thing not to give food, and the other thing was not to give drinking water.

In this regard, John and Parr said that they were not panic at all. Their carriages were big, and they were well prepared before coming. They encountered streams from time to time along the way, and there was no shortage of drinking water.

There is no shortage of food. At most, the stupid rabbits on the way have blood mold, and they have one more mouth. Every day, there are two or three more stupid rabbits that die.

…

"It's weird, why haven't we met the caravan returning from Qinghe Town for three days?"

Three days in a row have passed, and the journey to Qinghe Town is still going on. The road is wide and narrow, and sometimes it will turn a corner, but one thing is the same, that is, the road is very strong, and it is all run over by caravans that travel back and forth for a long time. from.

On the third night, the misty caravan found a resting point again, but what made people strange was that they did not encounter a caravan returning from Qinghe Town for three consecutive days.

This is very strange, because a few days ago, there were caravans returning from Qinghe Town almost every one or two days. It was the first time that it had not been encountered after three days, but people didn't care. Without other caravans there would be no other caravans! At most, they just don't go out and hang out.

On the fourth day, the fog caravan set off again.

"When we turn this corner, we will encounter a small stream, and we will reach Qinghe Town by walking along the road beside the small stream. On the way, we will encounter several villages. The nearest Dongxi Village is about There are still two days to go, and it is already the territory of Qinghe Town..."

"Ok."

On the roof of the car, Darlene taught Pal about geography with a piece of paper full of crooked lines in her hand. Next to the door of the car, John looked lazy. Ever since Darlene came, Pal has not. Asked him a question, and he was also very happy. After all, although he knew a lot of secret knowledge, it was impossible for him to compare with scholars in ordinary knowledge.

"It's not bad, it's not bad that Darlene is here." John squinted, enjoying the warm sunshine during the journey.

…

"Look!"

"what is that?"

"They...they..."

"…"

There is a rest point near the nameless creek. When the misty caravan passed by, the caravan guys walking in front let out one after another exclamations. What did they see?

Broken carriages, mutilated corpses, some people, some pack horses, and some unknown beasts, were laid on the ground inside the caravan resting place. Under the slightly warm sunlight, the stench was foul, and scavenging insects were flying all over the sky.

buzzing...

The sound of the wings flapping was very annoying, and some of the caravan guys who saw the tragic scene in front of them vomited.

The news soon reached Marcus, the caravan steward. He did not hesitate and directly asked Demi what to do. This was also what Demi was satisfied with him, and he came to ask her for instructions on everything.

This made Demi, who was traveling for the first time, feel the thrill of power.

But because it was the first time to travel far, Demi had no experience, and she didn't know how to do it. Before, she could ask Darlene, but now she can only ask Knight Jim.

"Jim..."

"Miss, you can't stay here for a long time, let's pass here quickly!"

"Okay! Just do as you say."

…

The advancing convoy paused, and then continued to set off, but the adventurers and daring guys in the convoy became greedy, because there were still many intact carriages in the rest point, the kind that were full of goods.

So, someone in the slow-moving convoy sneaked out and wanted to make some extra money. As for the disgusting or not, the adventurers who licked blood don't care about those, as long as they have money.

As a result, everyone who ran to the rest point returned home with money, gems, precious goods...

…

Soon, the moving convoy passed the rest point at the end, and the three of Parr also saw the tragic situation. The seasoned adventurer John frowned instantly, he stopped the carriage and walked over.

"Something's wrong."

Parr and Darlene also got out of the car and walked over, and saw that John was not collecting supplies, but was enduring the stench to examine the bodies.

"It was attacked by a beast?"

Pal pinched his nose and walked behind John, while Darlene walked to another corpse.

"It's a herd of beasts, and there may be monsters among them. Although it's rare, there are always one or two unlucky caravans that meet each year."

John got up and said to himself, which was to answer the doubts in Parr's heart, but then he turned his voice and pointed to the human corpse and said:

"It makes me a little strange, why are the bodies of these people still kept, but not taken away by the beasts?"

"I should be able to answer this."

Darlene, who was examining a beast corpse, suddenly made a noise. At this time, she was holding a white gem in her hand.

A beam of fan-shaped white light shot out from the gemstone and shone on the animal corpse in front of Darlene. Parr and John heard the sound and walked over to see that the rotting animal corpse was slowly moving on. Black smoke came out.

Scholar Darlene explained, her voice a little serious.

"This is a plague, a plague that makes beasts lose their minds. Beasts infected with this plague are afraid of the sun, go out at night, their aggression is greatly increased, and they like to attack creatures that are not infected with this plague. Fortunately or unfortunately, humans do not Infected with this plague, that's why the tragedy here."

"Plague Cultists!"

Parr exclaimed in surprise, then turned on his bright eyes to look at the smoke rising from the beast corpse. It was indeed a special kind of plague energy, but it was very thin.

At this time, John touched his chin and said with a thoughtful expression: "It is indeed the means of the plague cultists, but I remember that this plague can subside with the passage of time, it is not a serious plague, then the question is, why What about the plague cultists who infected the beasts with the plague and attacked the caravan?"

"The caravan has someone they want to kill or something they need."

Parr took up John's words, and then the three of them stood there and thought about it, but in the end they didn't come up with any answer.

This unfortunate caravan has been wiped out. The purpose of the plague cultists should have been achieved, and they have long since disappeared. How could they deduce the truth based on a few corpses?

It's just that this incident made them a little more vigilant. There are plague cultists nearby.
