This must be because everyone in the city is sick.
The old woman remembers that everything was good before that day.
Xiushui Town is still as simple and beautiful as people say.
People in the town will smile when they meet each other.
Rich families will share the harvested food with each other every day. poor.
There is always a good catch in the fishing net.
The town was always full of life.
But from that day on, everything changed.
I don’t know why a large number of crows appeared in the town, making people unable to sleep at night.
It was winter at that time, and people thought there was a disaster elsewhere, so they migrated in large numbers.
Everything was normal except that there were too many crows and they were noisy at night.
However, the peace did not last for a few days.
Gradually, people would hear certain sounds in their sleep, such as soldiers riding horses running on the streets.
But there are no soldiers on horseback patrolling Xiushui Town at night.
The people began to respond to the mayor, who in turn responded to the priests in the city.
"What's the result?"
The old woman was telling about what happened to Xiushui Town a year ago, but when she arrived here she didn't go on, so everyone couldn't help but ask.
She stood up.
Her stooped body was only as high as an adult man's chest.
She was considered very short, probably about 1.5 meters or less, but it was normal for such an old person to shrink.
Wang Chu looked at her face.
The face under the hood was wrinkled so much that the skin was already loose.
This woman must have had a big nose when she was young, because when she gets older, it seems that the bones of the high bridge of her nose are still there, but the flesh has completely shrunk.
If it were sharper, she would look just like the witches in fairy tales that I remember. .
"Later, people got strange diseases and couldn't go out, let alone meet people.
Neither the elderly nor children dared to show their true colors to others.
People began to run out in large numbers.
Everyone who could run, but they didn't have any extra money.
I have strength, but I am tired every day I could only wander around the town, and there was less and less food to eat.
Eventually, I could eat the stinky fish in the river.
The merchants who originally came to Xiushui Town did not dare to come back after seeing this.
They said that Xiushui Town had a plague.
We can no longer go," the old woman continued.
"But what did the merchants see?
Why not let them ask for help from the outside?
As for other countries, they will also come to help."
Private said hurriedly.
Xiushui Town is a water town that stands across the river basin.
It originally belonged to a certain country, but gradually became independent due to geographical relationship, and it can be regarded as a neutral town.
Of course, Wang Chu didn't care about these complicated political relationships.
He just watched the old woman slowly raise her head and slightly opened her hood with her hands.
Half of her face appeared in front of everyone.
The pale face was even a little green.
The wrinkled skin made people think that it would not be strange for the old woman to be buried tomorrow.
She was already terminally ill.

There was a red cloud-like blood clot on her neck.
Something that looks a lot like corpse spots He just raised his head for a short while and then lowered it again.
"How did you become like this?
Will this disease cause you any pain?"
"There is nothing else except being able to turn people into this.
A year ago, I was only in my thirties, and the person at the door was still a strong young man."
What the old woman said shocked everyone present.
The body in her thirties had actually become like this.
It's only been a year, life seems to have gone on for fifty or sixty years "Perhaps my magic can restore you to your original state."
The holy light on Benedictus's magic wand lit up slightly.
"Holy light cannot save the city.
It will only bring us pain like other priests.
The priests in the town have always promised to save us when they were still there, but they did not realize it until they died or ran away.
The center of the town is the church, and there are many such things under the statues there.
As long as you wear them, your body will feel better.
The holy light cannot save us, only ourselves can save us. " "Go away, stranger, don't stay here."
The old woman took the child and slowly walked back into the alleyway.
The child almost remained silent during the process.
Except for the moment when he was sick, he moved like a zombie.
"Archbishop" Paladin Akara glanced at Benedictus.
"This city may be in trouble.
They may be subject to some kind of curse.
Because Xiushui Town does not belong to any country, it has no support.
This kind of city can easily become a residence for conspirators.
Let's go to the church and have a look."
The group nodded and continued walking down the street.
On the way, Wang Chu kept thinking about the story the old woman told just now.
"Grand Master, what's wrong?
Are you thinking about something?"
Sometimes Wang Chu would feel that Anwenna was paying attention to him all the time, and felt that no movement could escape her eyes.
Rias probably noticed her and asked the same question.
"Cam, what are you thinking about?"
What are you thinking about?
It's not what the other party said just now.
A young man turned into an old man in just one year.
Wang Chu had seen similar magic, also a year ago.
I still remember the last battle in Hajar City.
The Headless Horseman seemed to have used this kind of magic to deprive others of their vitality.
Although the process and methods were different, the results were the same, depriving people of their vitality.
Only this time the people are not dead yet, and they are afraid of the Holy Light.
Could it be they are the same this time?
The death knight appears again The old woman said that people in the town would hear the sound of horses galloping on the streets at night.
Wang Chu looked at the dirty streets around him.
How could he ride a horse in a place like this?
There were garbage and other things piled everywhere in the narrow streets. , horses probably wouldn’t be able to walk in a place like this, let alone run.

Unless they all heard wrong, or that was not a normal horse at all.
There is only one main road in the city, and along it is the so-called church.
In fact, the domed building can be seen from a long distance away.
The churches in any city are very luxurious.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and as far as you can see is not far away, it is as dark as entering a closed devil's cave.
A church without the Holy Light.
The square was as messy as the streets years ago, and the most eye-catching thing was in the center, a statue of some kind made of linen, branches, and bones.
There were hundreds of candles lit underneath, and there were many small wooden sculptures placed in the middle.
He couldn't see it clearly in the old woman's hands before, but now Wang Chu could see it.
It was engraved with complicated carvings and shone in the dark.
"This is an altar.
Sure enough, someone made it deliberately."
The archbishop knew what it was the first time he saw it
