This isn't a souls-like game at all.

I can talk to him later.

After the Grand Duke falls, someone has to take control of the Duchy.

Ye Yiyi is powerful, so naturally he has the ability to make some people listen to him.

And his demands were not many - treat people as human beings and give them a chance to survive.

As for the rest, he didn't think about it because he was not good at politics.

But he knew that the one with the bigger fist was the most reasonable!

Ye Yiyi walked forward along the endless farmland until the sun was high in the sky, and finally arrived at the city wall.

It was a giant metal gate that was almost as high as the city wall, nearly fifty meters high.

There is a long slope under the city gate with almost no slope.

Ye Yiyi roughly calculated that this slope was probably several miles long.

"Just like the game, but getting more and more outrageous..."

He couldn't help but sigh. How could it not be outrageous that such a magnificent megastructure was built by a medieval slave state?

"How was this built? Did the Spread-Winged Eagle personally come in and lay the foundation?"

If you think about it carefully, it might be possible.

Of course, a more logical guess is that this thing is an ancient relic from the era of land kingdoms, and it has survived to this day by accident.

There is no explanation in the game, but Ye Yiyi feels that his guess should be correct.

Otherwise, even if there were magic and hymns, it wouldn't make sense.

He rode up the steps and made his way up the long slope.

There were a lot of people coming and going here, mostly knights on patrol on horseback and soldiers of the duchy on foot, as well as quite a few civilians dressed relatively simply.

The slave can't see it at all...oh, he sees it.

Ye Yiyi saw a crude wooden prison cart pulled by horses, filled with slaves with pale, skinny faces and numb expressions.

This scene reminded Ye Yiyi of the time when he had just traveled through time.

He was wearing only a loincloth and was verbally teased by the Nantong soldiers guarding him.

By the way, did that guy survive after escaping?

Ye Yiyi calmed down for the moment. They were almost at the gate and were about to enter the city.

When I looked closer, I found that in addition to the main gate that was as high as the city wall, there were two small gates on the side.

The main gate was closed, but the side doors on both sides were open, with people entering and exiting from the left and right sides.

After stopping his horse, Ye Yiyi looked up at the main gate, his expression suddenly becoming a little embarrassed.

"Uh...I think I guessed right."

On this huge double door, one side is carved with a four-winged eagle with outstretched wings, and the other side is carved with a strange and extremely abstract metal puppet.

"This is the ingenious technique of one of the kings..."

There are eagles with spread wings on both sides of the gate in the game, and there are no tricks or magical machines.

The producer was lazy and came up with the setting, but ended up making reality come full circle.

He rolled his eyes and headed for the side door.

Suddenly, among the crowd that was entering the door in an orderly manner, a man who was dressed quite wealthy and looked like a businessman or a slave owner suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed all over.

"Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!!"

The Eagle Claw Knight stationed at the side door drew his sword and led his soldiers forward, urging them loudly.

The crowd seemed to be in panic, but they were still orderly and retreated one by one.

When the knight approached the man, his twitching and twisted body suddenly climbed up in a strange posture.

His eyes glowed red, his expression was twisted and ferocious, saliva and mucus were flowing from the corners of his mouth, and he rushed towards the knight at an extremely fast speed.

"It's the terminal stage of hemophilia, there's no cure..." Ye Yiyi silently took out the Living Amber Wand.

The knight shook his head, seemingly unsurprised by the situation.

He raised his sword to strike, but a flash of light appeared between the man's fingers, and a white magic arrow suddenly took shape and shot towards the knight?

"Magic props?!" the knight was shocked.

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows.

"interesting."

Chapter 62 Dead Town

The magic arrow suddenly attacked, and the Eagle Claw Knight was immediately shocked.

But he was a knight guarding the city gate after all, with superb martial arts skills, far superior to an ordinary soldier.

He immediately swung his sword, using the wider spine of the sword to meet the magic arrow.

"clang!"

The magic arrow shattered, and the knight staggered, took a few steps back, and almost lost his balance.

But at this time, the man suffering from hemophilia had already rushed up in a strange posture.

He opened his bloody mouth, his cheeks were slightly torn, and the two rows of sharp teeth in his mouth flashed coldly as he bit straight at the knight.

This scene completely lost its humanity, as if it had turned into a wild beast, which terrified the surrounding soldiers.

"The quality of these soldiers is too poor." Ye Yiyi shook his head silently.

Seeing the knight about to be attacked, these soldiers just watched?

Where are your spears? Where are your bows and crossbows? Use them!

Seeing that the knight was unable to resist, he raised the Living Amber Staff, and a magic arrow condensed into shape in a flash of white light, and then suddenly shot out.

The magic arrow drew an arc in the air, flew over the surrounding crowd, and accurately hit the left side of the hemophilic patient's head from top to bottom.

This is an advanced version of the ordinary magic arrow, the tracking magic arrow!

It is more powerful and also has the ability to track and lock.

The hemophilic patient was hit hard on the forehead, and his head tilted immediately, his body movements became deformed, and he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the knight was shocked again.

Fortunately, this attack was a help rather than an attack. The knight reacted very quickly, immediately stood firm on his feet, adjusted his stance, raised his sword high and stabbed down hard.

The sword pierced into the man's head, and his body trembled, and then he was silent.

"Huh, luckily it didn't explode." Ye Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He still remembers the self-destruction attack in Linhe Village vividly.

If this explodes, all the people watching in front of the door will not be able to escape and will die!

"Carry the body away and don't block the gate." The knight sheathed his sword while panting, his cheeks covered in cold sweat under his helmet, and shouted orders.

As the soldiers dragged the body into the side door, traffic resumed in front of the door.

The civilians present looked calm, their initial panic had disappeared... or rather, they had become numb.

"It seems that this is not a very strange thing." Ye Yiyi took in the whole scene and thought in his heart.

At this time, a knight walked towards this place. He took off his helmet, revealing a young and handsome face, and saluted Ye Yiyi in front of the horse.

"Thanks to the magician for helping me!"

"It's okay, we're just rushing into the city." Ye Yiyi retracted his staff and put on an arrogant and cold expression.

The status of a knight is much higher than that of a soldier. He recognized the magic props at a glance, so it was not surprising that he knew the magician.

However, the knight in front of him was too young, looking less than twenty years old, with a childish look on his face, which surprised Ye Yiyi.

Is the Eagle Knights now so lacking in succession?

He looked inside the door and asked in a thoughtful manner.

"What are you going to do with the body?"

The young knight was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Of course, the clergy of the order will handle it. They will gather the bodies of those with bloodthirsty disease and burn them together."

"Have you seen the burning scene?" Ye Yiyi suddenly asked.

"This..." The knight shook his head awkwardly, "I haven't seen it."

"So the burning was just a unilateral claim from the cult?"

“…” The knight was stunned, a look of helplessness on his face.

You are still too young. You believe whatever others say. Ye Yiyi shook his head in his heart.

It was said to be a centralized incineration, but in fact it was just an excuse to facilitate the collection of the bloodthirsty beads.

"I understand. Thanks for clearing up my confusion." He nodded and rode towards the door.

"Please wait a moment, Master Magician."

Before he had taken two steps, the knight suddenly caught up with him.

"Is there anything else?" Ye Yi looked at him

The knight looked around, leaned over and whispered, "Master Magician, I heard the bodies were burned at the foot of a mountain in the western suburbs of the city. There's a huge stone factory building there, and it's very conspicuous, near the sewer outlet."

Western suburbs? Stone factory building?

Why does this sound so familiar?

Of course, more importantly, why did this knight tell him this news secretly?

"You..." He frowned slightly, and then saw the young knight smiling at him aggrievedly and helplessly.

Rather than a smile, it looked more like an expression of wanting to cry but unable to.

"My mother was sent there three days ago..."

He said softly, he was obviously a mighty knight in armor, but the expression on his face was like a helpless child who couldn't find his mother.

"Mr. Magician, you are of noble status and the clergy dare not neglect you. If you have time to go there, can you help me retrieve my mother's ashes?

"You are a member of the Knights Templar. Why don't you ask the higher-ups for help on this matter, but instead ask me, a stranger passing by?" Ye Yiyi was very confused.

“The Knights…” He gave a wry smile, “Even members of the Knights dare not disobey the clergy of the order.

"...I, I know this request is excessive, but I've saved a lot of money from serving in the Knights. I know you don't like it, but..."

"I understand." Ye Yiyi interrupted the young knight, "What's your mother's name?"

"Ah... Thank you, thank you. Her name is Rita. Thank you so much..."

"I won't work for nothing." Ye Yiyi shook his head, "Remember to prepare the money."

"I understand! Of course I understand! I'm on duty here during the day, and my home is at 72 East Alley, Maple Street, Downtown..."

"Okay." Ye nodded, then rode his horse forward and joined the team entering the city.

When everyone present saw the magician coming on horseback, they all made way for him.

The soldiers didn't dare to look him in the eye, and the civilians didn't even dare to look up.

Most of them didn't know what a magician was, but they knew that even the knight had to speak to him in a humble manner.

This is a big shot that you absolutely cannot afford to offend!

Ye Yiyi looked at this scene and was not surprised.

The identity of a magician is prepared for convenient action.

After all, this doesn't matter in the game. Even if you are wearing golden armor, holding a giant sword as thick as a door panel, and your face is as ferocious as an ancient god, passers-by will look down on you, and even dogs will come up and bite you.

Once you enter the city gate, you will see a whole new world.

Deep in the vast cultivated fields, buildings of varying heights are arranged in an orderly manner. Smoke rises above the town, and people come and go on the dirt road.

Looking up, you can see a magnificent castle complex built on the mountain.
