Chapter 294 Blackwater Town

After the refugee incident, the rest of the journey was peaceful.

The convoy, escorted by the knights, crossed the Bellar Plain and arrived at the border of the Swamp Principality three days later, a small village called Blackwater Town.

The silver carriage stopped, a knight stepped forward to open the door, and Wizard Hollen straightened his collar and slowly walked out of the carriage, and Enzo followed him.

"Is this the secular territory of the Bravo family?"

On the ground, Enzo looked around. The barren and backward town, the surrounding buildings were mostly low stone houses, and refugees infected by the plague could be seen everywhere in the corners, and almost everyone had pain and numbness on their faces.

"It's just a part of the territory."

Stepping on the muddy ground, Hollen's face showed some disgust, and he frowned and said, "After passing Blackwater Town, you can reach [River City], [Karen City] and [Crocodile Claw City], which are the important territories of the Bravo family."

"However, the plague first appeared in Blackwater Town, so the situation here is also more serious."

Enzo nodded slightly. Since Blackwater Town is the source of the plague, it is understandable that the convoy stops here as the first stop. He walked slowly forward, his eyes sweeping over every corner of the barren town.

Gah! Gah! !

A harsh and unpleasant sound rang out, and a crow landed on the eaves of the stone house, combing its feathers flexibly with its beak, and a pair of scarlet eyes glowed with bloodthirsty luster, staring at the bottom of the stone house.

In the corner, a skinny old man lay.

He had been infected with the plague, with large patches of festering skin, emitting a foul smell, and his turbid eyes gradually lost their luster. After a painful whimper, his body tilted and fell down.

The crow flapped its wings and flew over excitedly.

It landed on the body of the plague old man, opened its beak and pecked, tore a piece of flesh from the festering skin, and swallowed it in one bite.

On the side, Wizard Hollen frowned.

Although he regarded mortals as ants, they were all the same kind after all. Seeing the crow tearing the flesh on the corpse, he was a little displeased. He raised his hand and condensed a ball of energy, ready to throw it over.

"Wait a minute, Wizard Hollen." Enzo suddenly spoke and stopped him.

Wizard Hollen raised his eyebrows, casually swung his palm, and the energy dissipated. In the corner of the stone house, the crow was still tearing the flesh on the corpse, looking extremely excited.

"Just try out the ability I mastered in the Tomb of the Illusionary Crow." Enzo slowly closed his eyes.

It was as if an invisible force descended on the crow. The crow, which was originally tearing flesh and blood on the corpse, suddenly stopped moving, and a glimmer of humanity flashed in its scarlet eyes.

The next moment, the crow's head moved and its eyes scanned the surroundings.

The first time he tried to bring a trace of soul to the body of the crow, Enzo had a very strange feeling. Through the crow's eyes, he could see the scene far away.

This is one of the derivative abilities of the meditation method of "Illusionary Crow Thousand Spirits", sharing souls with corvids.

Then, Enzo controlled the crow and flew to the eaves. He slowly closed his eyes, and a strange feeling emerged. In his mind, pictures kept flashing.

That was the memory of this crow!

After experiencing the illusion world eight thousand times in the Tomb of the Illusionary Crow, Enzo was already familiar with the current scene. Using the function of the chip, he quickly recorded all the memories of this crow.

From hatching, to the young crow stage, flying out of the nest.

"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Enzo's heart moved, and the crow's memory stayed at the night a few months ago, when there was no plague in Blackwater Town. The crow landed on the eaves of a stone house and quietly watched everything below.

Under the night, next to the well in the center of the town.

A thin figure appeared stealthily, took out a bottle of unknown liquid from his body, poured it all into the well, and then quietly left in the night.

Under the afterglow of the moonlight, the strange totem painted with oil on the blurred face of the figure was particularly clear!

"So, this plague was deliberately created by someone?" Enzo opened his eyes on the spot, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes. The crow on the eaves in the distance seemed a little frightened after losing the control of the soul, and immediately flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

"Did you find anything? Sir Enzo." Wizard Hollen asked on the side.

"If my guess is correct, there should be someone behind this plague." Enzo said, but before he could finish his words, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the entrance of Blackwater Town.

"It's the cavalry of the Bravo family." Hollen looked at the entrance of the town not far away, and a cavalry team appeared, carrying a flag with a thorn flower pattern.

After the cavalry team appeared in Blackwater Town, a knight who looked like a leader immediately turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to the front of Hollen Wizard, knelt on one knee and said, "Hejian City Legion Commander Porter, see Lord Hollen!"

"Get up." Hollen asked indifferently, "Hejian City Cavalry, what are you doing in Blackwater Town? Don't you know that the plague is spreading?"

Legion Commander Porter stood up and said respectfully, "Report to Lord Hollen, I came to Blackwater Town on the order of Odori, the Lord of Hejian City, to clean up the bodies of those who died of the plague."

"Clean up the bodies of those who died of the plague?" Enzo raised his eyebrows on the side.

"Yes, sir." Porter explained, "During this period, the plague in Blackwater Town has become more and more serious, and almost all the civilians in the town have died. If the bodies are not handled by anyone, it will only accelerate the spread of the plague!"

"So, we need to handle the bodies together and transport them to the corpse pits in the wilderness near Hejian City for burial!"

"Why not burn the bodies on the spot?" Enzo was a little puzzled.

This time, without the need for Porter to answer, Wizard Hollen took the initiative to speak and sighed, "It's too slow to do that. Since the plague appeared in Blackwater Town, countless people have died in the surrounding area in the past six months. It's impossible to burn them all, so we can only transport them to the deep pits in the wilderness for burial."

"So that's it." Enzo nodded slightly.

Then, Legion Commander Porter began to command his men to carry the bodies of Blackwater Town onto carts, intending to transport them to the corpse pits outside Hejian City for burial before dark.

"Let's leave here first."

Wizard Hollen looked serious and said, "Although Blackwater Town is the source of the plague, this kind of town is not important to the Bravo family. The place where the plague really needs to be solved as soon as possible is in Hejian City."

"Okay, but please wait a moment."

Enzo nodded. Before leaving Blackwater Town, he ordered two of his cavalrymen to go to the well in the center of Blackwater Town to take some water and seal it in a test tube, and then followed Hollen to Hejian City.
