1281 Fear
“Lord Bishop, we have to take action. Fang Heng cannot stay here any longer.”
“Yes.”
Karkkila’s eyes flickered.
He could already feel a great danger.
It was no longer just the Land of Plague and Tang Wu fighting for the Empire.
This was related to the development of the Holy Court.
He had to get rid of Fang Heng as soon as possible! There was simply no time to waste!
The accompanying guide, Gert, was a believer and follower of the Holy Court. Seeing that their expressions were a little ugly, he was still ignorant of what the problem was. He could only whisper, “Archbishop, you’ve worked hard coming all the way here. We’re very short on hotels now, but I’ve found a few for you…”
Karkkila raised his hand and interrupted him, “No need, thank you. Time is of the essence. How’s the situation in the mining area?”
“The mining area is where the ghost fog is the thickest. Many necromancers are staying there, saying that they’re cultivating. I don’t know anything about necromancy, so I can’t go near to investigate.”
“Well, it’s not your fault. Lead the way. Take us to the mining area to have a look.”
“Alright.”
After leaving the hotel, Gert led the group along a secluded path toward the mining area.
From afar, Karkkila saw seven ghost towers built around the mining area, enveloping it in the center.
The ghost fog continued to overflow from the top of the ghost tower, enveloping the entire mining area.
The dense ghost fog triggered the birth of vengeful spirits.
Many young mages gathered in groups of twos and threes, using the burning soul candle to see the surrounding vengeful spirits, and then using the Book of the Dead to capture their souls.
As they went deeper into the mining area, the number of necromancers around them decreased, but their levels were higher.
Karkkila and the others had already kept a low profile, but they still attracted the attention of many people.
It was late at night, and the mage apprentices were grinding for vengeful spirits to train. Most of them were here to be selected as the latest batch of trainees in the ghost tower.
But what was with this group of people? They seemed strange.
Although the mages had their doubts, they did not waste time thinking about it and continued to gather their mental strength to capture souls.
Karkkila and the others did not say a word, but the uneasiness in their hearts grew stronger.
“Lord Bishop.”
Mary Fiel couldn’t help but say again, “The ghost tower is harder to deal with than we expected. A large number of mage apprentices practicing necromancy is a disaster for us. The longer Fang Heng lives, the more the disaster will spread. The destruction of the world is also close at hand.”
“Yes.”
At present, it was still uncertain whether the ghost tower would be effective against the plague aura, but what they saw and heard after entering Lincoln City had already made the people of the Holy Court feel a great threat!
As long as Fang Heng was alive, the Holy Court wouldn’t have peace.
“I know.”
Karkkila’s voice was a little dry.
He had already placed Fang Heng on the same level as the abyssal demon.
They had to be eradicated!
The Holy Court’s group felt particularly uncomfortable amid the ghost fog. Along the way, the team still needed to avoid the newly born vengeful spirits. In order not to be discovered, everyone could not use the Holy Light shield.
After stumbling for half an hour, the group finally entered the periphery of the mining area.
Gert brought the Holy Court and the others to hide in the bushes and carefully spy.
“Lord Bishop, the entrance to the mine is right in front of us.”
“Alright.”
The entrance to the mine had been carefully sealed. More than ten Empire Guards and a few mages were guarding the door.
Ever since the ghost tower had been operating at full capacity 24 hours a day, there were also mage apprentices from the Mage Association guarding the entrance of the cave.
Gert swallowed his saliva carefully and said, “Lord Bishop, please be careful. There are necromancers from the Mage Association nearby. They are hostile to the Holy Court. If we are discovered, it will be very troublesome.”
“Yes, they can’t stop us just by themselves.”
Karkkila nodded and said, “Alright, go back first. Don’t be affected by us.”
In the darkness, Karkkila walked out of the bushes and headed straight for the entrance of the mine.
“Stop! Who is it!”
At the entrance of the mine, a guard of the Empire saw a figure appear from afar and immediately stopped him. He shouted, “Who are you? This is the sealed area! Outsiders are forbidden from entering. Leave quickly!”
Karkkila did not slow down. As he took a step forward, he raised the scepter in his hand and gently knocked it to the ground.
Buzz…
The golden Holy Light shield spread out.
Huh?!
That’s…!!
Among the guards of the Empire at the mine entrance, one of the middle-aged men’s pupils suddenly tightened, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
It was the Holy Court!
Deng Haodong was a player.
To ensure the safety of the seal, Li Xue’s team made the corresponding adjustments. Every day, three people would take turns guarding the cave. If anything happened to the seal’s entrance, the player team would be the first to receive news!
...
Deng Haodong had already memorized all the information about the appearance of the people involved in the mission before he started the mission. He had never thought that the archbishop of the Holy Court would appear in person!
“Ka ka ka…”
Deng Haodong gulped and was about to shout when he saw fine golden chains of Holy Light seeping out of the armor, binding him firmly in place.
The golden Holy Light chains also bound the royal guards beside him. They stood rooted to the ground in a daze, and a wooden expression gradually appeared on their faces.
A few Holy Paladins behind Karkkila charged at them!
Deng Haodong gritted his teeth. There was no time to go offline.
Under such circumstances, forcefully logging off would even be judged by the game to have encountered a special situation and be forcefully pulled back into the game.
Use that!
An emergency signal transmission tool that cost 300 King of Gods’ points.
[Twilight lover’s tears].
With a thought, Deng Haodong took out a drop of water from his backpack and dropped it on the ground.
...
…
Late at night, in Hani City, Qiu Yaokang’s exclusive laboratory was brightly lit.
Qiu Yaokang had always had a morbid desire to study viruses. Before the zombie virus broke out, he often led his research team to stay up late.
For this reason, the complaints received by the research institute could fill a bookshelf in a month.
After the Zombie Apocalypse, Qiu Yaokang developed a virus medicine to improve his physique. Once his body’s endurance had caught up, working overtime through the night had gradually become the norm.
“You’re here.”
In the laboratory, Qiu Yaokang put down the medicine he had just concocted and looked at Fang Heng, who was wearing a white protective suit at the door.
“Yes, I heard that you have something urgent to talk to me about?”
“Yes, come and take a look.”
Qiu Yaokang led Fang Heng to the experiment table and gestured for him to observe through the microscope.
“This is?”
Fang Heng leaned over to take a look and his heart skipped a beat.
Through the microscope, he saw that the infected black cells in the petri dish had swallowed the originally necrotic white cells, causing the entire primary cells to gradually undergo mutation.
Qiu Yaokang shrugged and tried to explain in layman’s terms that Fang Heng could understand.
“As you can see, this is the truth behind the resurrection of the plague aura. After the cell body was devoured, it changed… The continuous mutation led to the resurrection effect we saw… Yes, this is the experimental report I compiled. There are detailed data in it.”
