Dawn of the Ash Tower

.,

Cheese found Heather in the basement of the two-storey building.And it's worth mentioning that the basement in this building is not a cellar for ordinary people to store sundries or store food, but a private prison that has been specially transformed.Even the passage to the basement has to be opened via a mechanism hidden on the bookshelf.This made the mage have to doubt the habit of the previous owner of this building.But no matter who the previous owner of this building was, he left Zhuoliu Town with all his property immediately after the outbreak of the plague, and this small building was taken over by the Knights of the Kingdom and became the place where Heather was imprisoned. And the prison of Hammer Knight who followed her back to Zhuoliu Town.

It stands to reason that Heather, as the knight commander of the most powerful lord of the Cangshi Kingdom, the Lord of the Hammer, naturally no one would dare to do anything rude to her.So in fact, cheese was not worried about Heather's safety at the beginning. In his opinion, the most people of the Kingdom Knights were to find a place to put the female knight commander under house arrest. They might even have to satisfy Heather in addition to not being able to move freely. Some personal needs, so as to ensure that Grand Duke Violent Hammer will not lose his temper when he learns about this in the future.

However, when the mage found the female knight, Heather was not in good shape.No, maybe terrible is an understatement.The originally healthy body shrank due to the pain, and even Heather's blond hair had lost its former luster like a withered grass stalk, and some tiny black spots could even be seen on the skin of the female knight's hair exposed outside her clothing.Of course the cheese knows what this means.

"Are you infected?" Without any scruples, he squatted down and helped the female knight commander who was curled up on the ground. The mage had an unbelievable expression on his face.You know, Cheese can guarantee that Heather does not have any plague virus before the two of them parted ways in Xigu City, and judging from the letter after the female knight, she should not have encountered a rat man on the way to Zhuoliu Town attack.So why was Heather infected with the plague?

"He...he..." Hearing a familiar voice, Heather looked up and saw the person walking into the dungeon.She was surprised by the appearance of cheese, but when she was excited to say something to the mage, she couldn't make any discernible voice from her throat.

Cheese frowned, aphasia, that's what he called this symptom.This process of losing the ability to speak is one of the symptoms of the plague transforming the human body. The inability to speak means that Heather's vocal organs are changing from human to ratman.In this process, her throat slowly transforms like a fetus in the mother's womb, so although the rat people after the transformation can use human language again after training, the human beings in the process of pathological changes But not.This internal change was earlier than the external change, which is why Heather still looks normal now. She has not been infected with the plague for a long time.Judging from the data collected by Cheese in the isolation area, people who have symptoms of aphasia but have no obvious mutations will never be infected for more than five days.

"Fortunately, the infection time is still very short, and the mutation should be reversed." After simply checking Heather's physical condition, Cheese confirmed that his current knowledge of the plague can cure the lesions on the female knight leader, and he can even reverse Catalyze those viruses and let them restore Heather's body and mutated parts.

Despite the loss of speech, Heather's hearing was apparently still normal.Hearing that the mage said that the plague on her body could be cured, the female knight captain excitedly grabbed the cheese's clothes, while waving her other hand and pointing to the inside of the dungeon.The room where Heather was locked was at the entrance of the secret door, that is to say, when the cheese came to the dungeon, he found the female knight leader immediately, and the mage had not explored other parts of the dungeon.Now it is not difficult for cheese to understand through Heather's body language. The female knight commander means that the other Hammer Knights who came back with her should be locked in the depths of this dungeon.

"Are they infected too?" the mage asked.

Nodding vigorously, Heather gave cheese an affirmative answer, and at the same time the anxious expression on her face became stronger.It seemed to be urging the mage to leave her alone and check the conditions of the other knights in the dungeon.

Cheese frowned even tighter, he comforted Heather softly, then got up and walked towards the depths of the dungeon.The basement was much bigger than he thought.Even the mage guessed that its area has exceeded the part above the ground.How is this going?A mansion with a small dungeon can also be understood as the owner's special needs, but judging from this posture, the basement seems to be much larger than what should be needed.Although every other section of the ceiling of the basement was lit with candles, as the corridors stretched, those candles could not provide light in spaces with such poor air circulation.

Unknowingly, the cheese has used the ability of night vision and temporarily stopped the body's need for breathing through some means.The gas contained in this section of the basement is no longer enough for a human to breathe.During the in-depth process, Cheese also saw other Hammer Knights. Although they had noble identities in the outside world, it was obvious that their identities were not enough to be like the master of the basement. Heather saved their lives that way.Those knights were cruelly hung on the iron hooks on the wall like winter bacon. Judging from the state of their corpses, they were all infected by the Ratman plague during their lifetime, and they also mutated to varying degrees.Their bodies did not decompose in this oxygen-deprived environment, which allowed Cheese to closely examine the cause of their deaths.

The strange thing is that the cause of death of these knights does not seem to be trauma or the plague itself, they seem to have died from some kind of potion unknown to the mage, and the formula of this potion is still changing from the traces on different knights.Cheese felt a strange sense of depression in his heart. Seeing the disembowelled bodies of these knights hung on iron hooks, he realized that the people who killed these knights were probably doing the same thing as him - finding the plague antidote.However, unlike the mage, the opponent obviously has not received in-depth training from the Gray Tower, so his understanding of the plague is only at the level of common diseases. No matter who the person who studies these is, he is not aware of the so-called rat people The essence of the plague is a curse that can continue to spread.

At the end of the underground corridor, Cheese found a separate room, which is absolutely impossible for normal humans to reach. Even if they run at full speed, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to go so deep without breathing. oxygen zone.The door of the room was unlocked, the mage carefully pushed open the thin wooden door, and what appeared before his eyes was an ordinary-looking study.There is an open notebook on the table in the room, which seems to record something.Although it has the ability of night vision, cheese still needs to be very close to see the text on the note.After reading the contents of this notebook, the mage felt a billowing coolness pouring out of his back.He seems to have caught a piece of the truth about this plague.But it's just opening a corner to peek at the whole thing.Cheese also felt the fear from the bottom of his heart.
