The priest was the last to die.

The power of faith in his body allowed him to live for a while longer, but that was all.

His internal organs have tended to collapse, and mycelial blood-like tentacles are growing all over his body. These tentacles are absorbing his life force all the time, and are also the main culprit of the formation of sores.

Dragging his tired and weak body, the priest walked to the high platform of the castle, where he could see the gray-green aura covering the entire reservoir in the center of the city.

"This is no ordinary plague..."

The pastor's eyes were dull and he muttered to himself.

"This...this is the conspiracy of the undead..."

"God..."

snap——

The pastor fell to the ground, his fingers twitching slightly, and the muscles in his body gradually collapsed and relaxed.

Night falls.

A trace of green flame lit up in the priest's eyes.

"Ho... ho ho..."

The priest stood up again, as if something was attracting him. Together with the countless corpses in the city, they moved towards the reservoir, gradually gathering...

…

Xinghui City is 20 miles away from Triumph City.

"ah?"

Silina looked at Engus in astonishment, with a rather puzzling expression.

"But, Mr. Engus, we have only stayed in Xinghui City for less than two days, why are we going to another city?"

"Although we only stayed for two days, we have almost explored this city, haven't we?"

Engus shrugged and put the half-eaten bread on the plate.

These foods no longer tasted to him, and the reason why he still took two bites was just to show off to Xilina.

"Although this is true...but..."

Silina wanted to say something else, but she was directly interrupted by Engus. A gentle smile appeared on the face of the knight who turned into a ghost dragon. He held Silina's hand and said affectionately:

"To like someone is to walk many, many walks with them, experience all kinds of trips, and eat many meals together."

"And isn't that what I'm doing now?"

He stretched out his other hand, handed a piece of bread stick dipped in cheese to Xilina's mouth, and said with a smile:

"I really like the cheese bread you made by yourself. It reminds me of my hometown."

"ah……"

Xilinna's brain has fallen into a stuck state. Ever since Engus said those love words, her face has been burning red and she has long lost the ability to think.

【Is Mr. Engus confessing his love to me? 】

[Why did you suddenly say such disgusting words...I was not prepared at all...]

[I’m going to die, I’m going to die...My heartbeat is so fast...]

Engus glanced at Xilinna's pretty face that was burning red, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He knew that his goal had been achieved.

"Then Miss Xilina."

He decided to add a final touch of fire.

"Are you willing to continue exploring other cities with me? Let's live a life on the road together. We will always experience new scenery, meet new people, and of course eat a lot of new food~"

"Of course!" Xilina couldn't wait to agree. She didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly.

"I am willing to do it anytime. I am willing to stay by your side and accompany you for a long, long way, no matter where you go..."

Engus stood up after hearing this. He carried Xilinna's heavy luggage on his back and took Xilinna's little hand in a very gentlemanly manner.

"Then let's get on our way, my Silina."

"Time waits for no one~"

As Engus and Silina left.

That night, a horrific plague broke out in Xinghui City. No one in the entire city survived, and everyone died in the plague.

…

Four days later.

"Mr. Engus...there are no other cities around~"

Xilina walked in front and jumped up and down.

During this time they have visited five cities together.

In her opinion, Mr. Engus is a very elegant man. He is not only powerful but also knowledgeable. She cannot recognize many things at all, but Engus can directly tell the origin of that thing.

"Oh? Really?"

Engus' eyes darkened.

These five large cities surround the royal city of Kalanli, and there are many small villages and towns around them. When the undead natural disaster passes through these places, a large number of new undead can be created.

The plan has almost come to an end.

"Yes." Xilina turned around and nodded with a smile:

"If you want to go to other cities, then you can only go to the royal capital of Kalanli, but it is a long way there, so we'd better take a flying mount... Huh? Mr. Engus, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? How do you feel?

You don’t look good…”

As Xilina spoke, she stretched out her little hand and gently touched Engus's cheek.

The first thing she felt was biting coldness, which made her feel cold all over.

"Mr. Engus...you...your face is so cold..."

"This is normal." Engus shook his head.

"It's late autumn now. I've been relatively cold since I was a child. I feel cold no matter it's winter or summer. I just have to get used to it."

Hearing this, Xilina suddenly remembered the feeling of sleeping next to Mr. Engus these days. The quilt covered her as if she was uncovered. The cold would make her shiver every time at midnight.

"I see……"

Silina looked at Engus worriedly.

"Sir, can your constitution be cured? I found that sometimes your body is warm, and sometimes it is very cold..."

"Of course it can be treated."

Engus smiled.

"Do you want to come and see my treatment process? This is not a particularly mysterious thing. If you want to see it, I will show it to you."

"Is it really possible?"

Xilina clenched her fists and was very moved. She wanted to know more about Mr. Engus so that she could be a competent wife in the future.

"Of course, please come with me."

After Engus finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the room where they lived temporarily, and Silina followed behind Engus with a look of joy on her face.

…

After returning to the room, Engus took off all his clothes in front of Silina, exposing his naked body to the air.

"Sir, you..."

Xilina was so embarrassed that she couldn't help herself. She lowered her head and looked at her toes, which were clasped on the ground, and her two little hands were kneading nervously.

She felt that Mr. Engus was coming to his senses.

Are you finally going to do something shy with her?

But why was it so sudden?

It was obvious that no matter how she hinted before, Mr. Engus was unmoved.

Could it be because of the oysters we had for lunch today?!

Just when the little girl was thinking wildly.

The knight's low, hoarse voice came to my ears:
Chapter completed!
