When Griffith returned to Cang Yue Mountain to commemorate the entrance, the city defense army and Westeros Squadron had been deployed here. They built fortifications and cordons, and with the help of local people, they conducted inspections on the tourists who continued to gather.
More tourists have spread out on the mountain to join the lively festival celebrations.
Griffith went straight to the memorial committee camp halfway up the mountain. No matter what he was going to do next, he had to get their help first. As soon as he jumped out of the saddle, the military horse under his crotch collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
"Elodi! Where is Elodie?!" the trainee knight shouted in the crowd. Tourists and staff were startled by him, but no one knew where the girl was.
"Sir Griffith, please come with me." A refreshing voice like spring rain came from the side, and Alandel appeared surrounded by the maids. The crowd immediately moved away respectfully, making way for her.
.
She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with tenderness flowing between her brows.
But this time Griffith did not fall into the intoxicated state before. He carefully and anxiously conceived his thoughts, walked forward quickly and whispered:
"A group of cultists activated some kind of sealed object that has a wide-area effect. Although it is not clear what effect the sealed object has, the Hanami memorial ceremony must be stopped and the crowd must be evacuated immediately. We need manpower to investigate the whereabouts and whereabouts of the cultists.
"Conspiracy," Griffith said, looking into the eyes of the daughter of the Heura family, "I personally need to find Elodie as soon as possible, and I ask the lady and your family to provide assistance."
"Yes, I understand," Alandel nodded slightly, "come with me."
After saying that, she turned around gracefully and walked towards the inner room.
Why are you so calm? Griffith wondered if the girl did not understand the situation: "After the sealed object was activated, a certain substance was released. Everyone here may have been contaminated, including you and me. The situation is very urgent."
"I know," Alandel walked and looked at the trainee knight who was following her. Her soft and graceful expression seemed like she was chatting with a friend.
"Not long ago, you heard some kind of strange sound, rapid and disturbing?"
She noticed the impatience and impatience flashing on the face of the trainee knight, and said slowly. The soft and soft voice made Griffith feel calmer.
"Yes," Griffith nodded, "Are you also an Extraordinary?"
Alandel did not answer his question, but opened a door in front of him and pointed to a small table in the center of the inner room: "The pollution you are talking about...is this what it looks like?"
There is a small round mirror placed in an empty inner room. On top of the mirror, there is a piece of rolling white ashes. Just witnessing this scene, the threat and fear are stronger and more obvious than before, like a tide.
He rushed over.
Griffith thought of several possibilities in an instant.
On the day of the memorial solo dance rehearsal, strange living creatures and strange sect costumes appeared...
He stared at the mysterious and beautiful girl for a while. He looked at the empty inner room. He rushed towards the girl like a wild beast. He took out the Corrupted Feather Fencing Sword from his waist with his left hand and strangled her throat with his right hand.
In that flash of lightning? He actually saw Alandel sigh helplessly.
What's going on? Is it an illusion?
The flow of time seemed to be slowed down. Before Griffith could figure out what was going on, Alandel avoided his attack with graceful movements like a dance? Her white and slender hand grabbed the wrist of his right hand and moved forward.
Pulled, and then put a support on his right upper arm.
The heavily armed trainee knight felt his arms pulling his body to rotate. He flew up like a cloud and mist. He hit the cold floor with a loud "boom".
Griffith heard the internal organs and bones all over his body screaming like a celebration, and his ears were ringing.
He lay on his back on the floor with stars in his eyes, blood coming out of his nose. Two attendants in uniforms hurried over from the next room. Alandel glanced at them, and the attendants immediately retreated quietly?
It's like nothing happened.
"The sealed object you are tracking is called the 'Call of the Ancestor'? Our understanding of this is still incomplete. This sealed object has been activated and spreads a rare pollution."
The girl knelt down, sat next to Gris, and started explaining to herself:
"Our tribe has conducted a preliminary investigation. It turns out that the residents and tourists in Hepu Town are already in a state of invisible infection without distinction? Evacuation is useless. Under normal circumstances, people with hidden infections are no different from ordinary people, and they live in their bodies.
The contamination will also dissipate within a few days; if there are no other factors at play? The Call of the First is not dangerous.
"But, will the lost power of the Ancestor's Call activate certain extraordinary characteristics? Infected people with activated characteristics are called explicit infected people. They will stimulate the pollution on nearby invisible infected people and mutate them into
They are monsters. Are these monsters 'living' corpses? They are always hungry for flesh and blood, and have strength and vitality far beyond ordinary people. Some special living corpses may have extraordinary abilities. Can you stand up?"
Griffith, who had already recovered a little, nodded, wiped his nosebleed and got up from the floor, no longer trying to attack the girl.
Alandel looked at Knight Xi, and after making sure he calmed down, she turned around and brought the mirror on the table to him:
"The overt infected person who can activate the latent infected person is called the 'Queen' in ancient classics. The relevant cases are too old and are close to legends. We don't know exactly what characteristics are affected by the call of the ancestors.
.
"The only thing that is known is that the "Queen" still maintains a human form, and may try to resist the influence of extraordinary characteristics, but the will and soul will ultimately be difficult to resist such an ancient and mysterious existence. She will be attracted by the large number of lives at the memorial site.
Come.
"As long as the Queen remains alive, she can transform latent infected people within a radius of hundreds of meters into crazy and twisted living corpses. In other words, as long as she appears nearby, tens of thousands of people at the entire memorial site will
No one can escape death.
"These monsters will carry out crazy killings, transforming the living people they kill into their own kind, and will not stop until all their vitality is exhausted.
"This magic mirror is also a sealed object. It captured some information not long ago, but now it has been blocked by some kind of power."
Then, Alandel tapped the mirror gently, and the suspended ashes disappeared, replaced by a familiar figure.
Elodie!
The girl's beautiful face has been distorted, and blood is constantly flowing from her mouth and the corners of her eyes, sprinkling on the white dress. There is an illusory black line on her body stretching into the distance, and she does not know what existence is connected to it.
After witnessing this scene, Griffith's mind went blank and he almost fainted.
"Cheer up!" Alandel held his shoulders, "Although the stationed mage was killed and the local teleportation array was destroyed, the guardians of order, mainly powerful extraordinary beings, will still try to arrive as soon as possible. As long as they arrive
, the situation should get better."
A bad premonition immediately surged in Griffith's heart.
"When the guardians of the kingdom's order arrive, what will happen to Elodie? Can her extraordinary characteristics be stripped out?"
Alandel shook her head:
"We know nothing about this extraordinary characteristic in Elodie and how it appeared in her. It should be a relic of some ancient god outside the official jurisdiction and the extraordinary path known to us. It would be very, very dangerous to strip it off hastily.
.
"In this case, the conventional approach is to fuse the host's body and soul with extraordinary characteristics to form a unique sealed object.
"Elodi's soul will suffer eternal torture until the sealed object is destroyed."
Griffith raised his hand to help his forehead: "What should I do..."
Things had reached an irreversible level. After realizing this, Griffith was in a trance, as if he was in a nightmare.
Alandel looked at Knight Xi, took out an exquisite wand from her sleeve, and tapped a seal stored in an indoor warehouse: "Extraordinary people have far greater resistance to infection than ordinary people. At close range, your strength and body
They may all be suppressed, but at least they can resist for a long time and won't turn into monsters immediately.
"The black psychic ripples on Elodie's body come from a special ritual somewhere. My people believe that this ritual works together with unknown extraordinary characteristics to control Elodie.
"Elodi is still alive, and her consciousness has not been completely swallowed. As long as you can destroy the ritual and get close enough, there is a slight chance that she will recognize you. Although we know little about this power, maybe, Elodie
Di can fight this force with her own will. Maybe, there is a glimmer of hope that she can defeat this force...
"My people will arrange for tourists to be evacuated from the back mountain and assist the city defense army in fighting with all their strength, but they are not warriors and are probably no match for monsters and cultists.
"Sir Griffith, right now, there is only a glimmer of hope. Do you want to give it a try?"
Alandel took Griffith to the inner room. The door of the warehouse was slowly opened, and a dazzling and psychedelic light shone out like an evil moon. Amidst a buzzing sound, a hand was placed across the door.
The sharp lance on the desk appeared in front of Griffith.
"This is a sealed artifact that we keep. It is a weapon used by an unknown hero. It is said to be called a horse spear in its classification." Alandel pointed to the weapon. "The spear pole is made of 16-foot-long tangerine wood.
The sharp edge is three feet long. Although I don't understand it very well, I can tell you that this sealed object possesses terrifying lethality and power. It is far beyond what ordinary lances can match.
"This sealed artifact will take a few hours to activate. My butler, Mr. Salles, will arrange the next work and give you the war horses to prepare for the assault."
Griffith approached this rare weapon and took a closer look: "I can feel how extraordinary it is. Why don't your people use it?"
"This is a lance," Alandel shook her head helplessly, "The islanders of Neopolis are good at animal husbandry, fishing and hunting, and are wise scholars, but without years of training, they want to travel at high speeds.
It would be too difficult for them to use this weapon when charging."
The sealed object was humming, as if agreeing with the girl's point of view, and calling Griffith.
The sharp edge is as bright as the moon, and the eight-edged edge is extremely sharp. It is a weapon made with precision. On the bracket of this sharp weapon, there is also a simple narrative engraved on it.
