"Darlena, are all nobles like this?"

On the way back, Parr spoke and broke the silence.

Alas~

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

"Absolutely, at least in the central part of the Wind Wolf Kingdom, most of the nobles in other places have this virtue. After a thousand years, they have forgotten what aristocrats are and the true meaning of the glory they have received from their ancestors. They consider themselves superior and extremely arrogant."

"Is there any difference in the central region?" Parr asked, this was a good opportunity to understand the nobles of the Wind Wolf Kingdom.

"Yes."

Darlena teased her hair in her ears and said softly:

"Since the disaster more than ten years ago, the current King Greenton has begun drastic reforms. He conducted several assessments of the nobles in the central region in the name of King Wind Wolf, and eliminated a large number of people who were no longer qualified to be nobles. The land of those people was allocated to emerging nobles, and the entire central region became more and more prosperous. Everyone praised King Greenton's achievements as the second among the King Wind Wolf Kings in all dynasties."

"That's how it works!"

Parr did not ask who is the first, because who dares to be the first besides the founding country's founding Shadow Wind Wolf Paladin?

Darlena's story did not stop. Perhaps she now wants to relieve her depression by speaking.

Alas~

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

"It's a pity that King Glinton's aristocratic assessment system cannot be implemented into the entire Wind Wolf Kingdom. Otherwise, the Wind Wolf Kingdom would definitely become the most powerful kingdom on the continent. It's all because of the decadent aristocrats. Although there are support from the nobles in other places in the Wind Wolf Kingdom, there are too few. King Glinton's reforms have hurt the fundamental interests of the nobles. At that time, King Glinton wanted to implement the aristocratic assessment system into the entire Wind Wolf Kingdom, but was unanimously opposed by most of the nobles in other places. Among the four major dukes, three of them mobilized their troops. As a result, King Glinton stopped the idea of ​​implementing the aristocratic assessment system into the entire kingdom."

“…”

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

Bang!

Parr threw down the sack on his back, moved his body and turned around and asked, "Darlena, you said that three of the four dukes have mobilized their troops, what about the other duke?"

"It's the Duke of our Western Frontier."

Darlena walked to the west of the carriage and raised her hand to point at the Western Frontier Fortress Group, which was still far away. Under the dark sky, she explained:

"The Earl Lion Kingdom, to the west of the Wind Wolf Kingdom, is a powerful and attacking kingdom. The Duke of the West, who was the first to be hit, cannot escape. Moreover, due to years of war, the Fortress Group of the West could not leave the large amount of food supplies from the central part of the Wind Wolf Kingdom. Therefore, the Duke of the West at that time supported King Glinton, but only verbally supported, and there was no more."

This is a very helpless thing. Everyone knows that the aristocratic assessment system can make the Wind Wolf Kingdom strong, but because it involves its own interests, it does not implement it. The central part of the Wind Wolf Kingdom was able to implement it smoothly under the eyes of King Glinton, and use the smallest territory to compete with the major dukes.

Thousands of years have passed, and although the nobles in other places are loyal to King Fenglang, the sky is high and the earth is wide and the king is far away. King Fenglang cannot control them. If they force themselves, they will be forced to do so. If they are forced, do you care if you are a king? The nobles united to bring you off the throne and re-establish a king that is beneficial to them. It has not happened in history.

...

"What! No! Absolutely not..."

Crackling...

“Uh uh uh uh…”

John came back and jumped up when he learned that Darlena was going to go with them. His big face, with more than a dozen lips, was full of disagreement, and then Darlena was so shocked that he was so loud that he whispered.

Finally, John, who had a dark face, agreed to Darlena's companions. Facing Parr's gaze that questioned his lack of strength, he rubbed his face and said seriously:

"If you are a little girl, it is a traditional virtue of our Wind Wolf Knight."

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Darlena sneered in an unknown sense. Pal turned his head in confusion, but Darlena didn't explain anything. She jumped into the carriage and walked into the carriage leisurely.

At this point, there was another beautiful golden Dalena among those who were traveling with Parr, which made it more convenient for Parr to ask questions.

Since then, the people from the Mist Caravan never gave food to the three of them again. If it weren't for the signing of the escort agreement, Edemi would have driven the three of them out of the convoy with the intention.

But even if we can't leave the convoy, Demi will try every means to disgust Pal and the others. Not giving food is one thing, and another thing is not giving drinking water.

In response, John and Parr said they were not panicked at all. They had a large carriage and had prepared well before they came. They encountered streams from time to time along the way, and there was no shortage of drinking water.

There is even more food. At most, the stupid rabbits on the road are in trouble and have another mouth. There are two or three more stupid rabbits who die every day.

...

"It's strange. Why haven't I met a caravan returning from Qinghe Town in the past three days?"

Three days passed in a row, and the journey to Qinghe Town continued. The road was sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and sometimes turned a corner. But one thing was the same, that is, the road was very strong and they were all broken by caravans who had been traveling back and forth for a long time.

On the third night, the Mist Caravan found a rest point again, but what surprised people was that they did not encounter a caravan returning from Qinghe Town for three days.

This is very strange, because a few days ago, I encountered a caravan returning from Qinghe Town almost every one or two days. It was the first time that I hadn't encountered it after three days. However, people didn't care. Without other caravans, there would be no other caravans! At most, I just didn't go out to stroll around.

On the fourth day, the Mist Caravan set off again.

"When we turn this bend, we will encounter a stream. We will walk along the road next to the stream to reach Qinghe Town. On the way, we will encounter several villages. Dongxi Village is about two days away, which is already the territory of Qinghe Town..."

"Um."

On the roof of the car, Darlena was holding a piece of paper full of crooked lines in her hand to teach Pal's geography. Next to the carriage door, John looked lazy. Since Darlena came, Pal had no questions, and he was happy. After all, although he knew a lot of secret knowledge, it was impossible to compare with scholars in ordinary knowledge.

"It's not bad, it's not bad that this woman Darlena is here." John narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the warm sunshine on the journey.

...

"Look!"

"What is that?"

"They...they..."

“…”

There is a resting point near the nameless stream. When the foggy caravan passed by, the caravan guys walking in front made exclamations one after another. What did they see?

The broken carriages, broken corpses, people, pack horses, and unknown beasts were spread all over the floor in the caravan resting point. The smell was stenching in the slightly warm sunlight, and rotten insects were flying all over the sky.

Buzzing...

The sound of shaking wings was annoying. Some of the caravans who saw this miserable scene in front of them vomited.

The news soon reached the caravan manager Marcus. He did not hesitate and directly asked Demi how to do it. This was also what Demi was satisfied with him, and asked her for everything.

This made Demi, who was traveling far away for the first time, feel the pleasure of power.

But it was also because it was the first time to travel far away that Demi had no experience and didn't know how to do it. She could ask Darlena before, but now she could only ask Jim Knight.

"Jim..."

"Miss, we should not stay here for a long time, so we should pass here quickly!"

"Okay! Just do what you said."

...

The marching convoy paused and then continued to set off, but the adventurers and brave guys in the convoy became greedy because there were many intact carriages in the rest point, the kind that was full of cargo.

So, someone in the slow-moving convoy sneaked out to earn some extra money. As for whether it is disgusting or not, adventurers who lick blood at the edge of the knife don't care about those, just have money.

As a result, everyone who ran to the resting point returned with a full load of money, gems, precious goods...

...

Soon, the marching convoy passed the rest point at the end of the marching convoy, and the three of them saw the tragic situation. The experienced adventurer John frowned instantly, and he stopped the carriage and walked over.

“There is something wrong.”

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

"Is this attacked by wild beasts?"

Pal pinched his nose and walked behind John, while Darlena walked towards another corpse.

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

John stood up and said to himself, answering Pal's doubts, but then he changed his voice and pointed to the human body and said:

"What makes me wonder is why the bodies of these people are still left but not taken away by the beasts?"

"I should be able to answer this."

Darlena, who was checking for a beast corpse, suddenly made a sound, and at this time she was holding a white gem in her hand.

A fan-shaped white light shot out from the gem and shone on the beast corpse in front of Darlena. When Pal and John heard the sound, they walked over and saw that black smoke was slowly emerging from the beast corpse that was already rotten.

Scholar Darlena explained, her voice a little serious.

"This is a plague, a plague that makes wild beasts lose their minds. The wild beasts infected with this plague are afraid of the sun and move at night, and their aggressiveness increases greatly. They like to attack creatures that are not infected with this plague. Fortunately or unfortunately, humans will not be infected with this plague, so the tragedy here is caused."

"Plague cult!"

Parr exclaimed, then opened his bright pupils to look at the smoke rising from the beast corpse. It was indeed a special plague energy, but it was very thin.

At this time, John touched his chin and said with a thoughtful look on his face: "It is indeed the means of the plague cultists, but I remember that this plague can subside with time, not a powerful plague. So the question is, why did the plague cultists infect wild beasts with plague to attack the caravan?"

“There are people they want to kill or things they need in the caravan.”

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

All the unlucky caravans were destroyed. The purpose of the plague cult should have been achieved. They had already run away. How could they infer the truth based on just a few corpses?

But this incident made them more vigilant, there were plague cult activities nearby.
