A campsite outside of town.
"So, my sister has already run into the mutation?" Ludwig sighed.
"My guard knight took her to the inner camp, and then she disappeared." The Duke of Carinthia said, "Including the guarding knights, patrolling guards, and everyone else, no one saw her."
"Okay." Ludwig was a little frustrated. He certainly understood the Duke of Carinthia's subtext.
Your sister is probably already a person with extraordinary abilities.
This is actually not a big deal. Many noble children will try to take some potions - but that is after they get married and have children, and are able to keep their own secrets.
It is foolish to become a superhuman before marriage, because you don't know whether the person you marry and his family are reliable. Not only is there the risk of the church identifying superhumans as heretics, but there is also the problem of the superhumans' own reduced fertility.
For nobles, having an heir who can inherit their title and property is very important, and having no heir is a major flaw that is almost unacceptable. If Eleanor becomes a transcendent...
Then her subsequent marriage partner will cause her father a lot of headaches.
Ludwig looked at the town in the distance and let out a worried breath.
Inside the town.
Eleanor thrust out the dragon spear again, lifted the lion-scorpion-like monster into the air, smashed it down, then used three consecutive cloud-piercing blows, and finally a final iron-cutting blow to send it flying.
She has already mastered the Canglong Liantu skill to a high degree, but the team leader is not here, so naturally he cannot teach her the subsequent big moves.
The Free Wind Mercenaries had left half an hour ago. To be exact, it was Matthews who took the initiative to lead the group to the other side to fight the monsters there, and he never came back.
This is clearly something quite wrong.
Taking into account the previous abnormal distortion of space, forcibly pulling the two mercenary groups together was to induce the two teams to kill each other.
So, is it because the mutation has achieved its purpose that the spatial distortion has been resolved
For example, taking advantage of the previous large-scale zombie attack, when the battlefield was most chaotic, some members of the two mercenary groups were quietly replaced at the same time.
These impostors lying in ambush will deal a fatal blow to the unprepared team at the critical moment.
When Sheila said her guess, the girls all broke out in cold sweats. Even the Blue Sword had three people replaced, and there were two more imposters, so there was no reason for the Free Wind to escape unscathed.
Maybe that "Matthews" is already a fake.
But anyway, since the two sides have separated, the girls of the Blue Sword naturally have no reason to worry about each other. Now they can only choose to find a nearby building to guard and wait for the mysteriously lost Ask and others to come back to find them.
After killing the last monster, Eleanor put away her spear and returned to the church building behind her.
This is the church located in the central square of the town. In the preaching hall, the girls were sitting on the carpet, trying to comfort the distracted Peggy - she had proposed to go out to look for Ask many times, but it was Sheila and Mia who held her back.
