Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 75 Corpse Beast

Hearing the voice coming from behind, Sean paused and subconsciously looked back.

I saw Katim's figure emerging from behind, striding over at this moment.

With a smile on his face, he walked closer to Sean, and then he couldn't help but show a little apology on his face: "I'm sorry for letting you see such a scene."

"Mr. Enri and the others may be used to it, so they behave a bit roughly. Please don't take it too seriously."

His face was sincere, as if he was worried that Sean would be angry because of this: "I will negotiate with them on your behalf, and I hope I can give you a satisfactory answer later."

Sean couldn't help but be startled, but he quickly reacted and his expression softened slightly.

"It is very difficult to come to a completely unfamiliar place and hope that the local people will cooperate with the work. It is normal to encounter some obstacles."

Sean said calmly: "I don't mind."

Don't mind a fart.

Katim smiled, silently complaining in his mind.

He had been observing Sean's expression and subtle movements.

The other party looked like he was about to eat someone.

If you say you don't mind, who will believe it?

"You have such a big heart."

Katim gave a verbal compliment.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to say a few more words, but after observing the faint look of impatience on Sean's face, he went straight to the topic and expressed his position directly: "Those lords are unwilling to cooperate with Mr. Sean, maybe more or less If you have less scruples, it may be because of Lord Thorne’s relationship.”

"But no matter what other people are like, I am willing to obey your orders, Mr. Sean. No matter what orders you have, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to complete it."

He looked sincere and spoke seriously: "Solving the plague that has emerged this time is what we all want to do. I think there will be no problem."

After saying this and expressing his position, he said goodbye to Sean and left directly.

He came here this time to build relationships and show his loyalty.

Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no benefit in staying any longer, and it may even arouse the other party's resentment.

After Katim left, Sean was the only one left.

Standing there, he looked at Katim's back as he left, and couldn't help but feel thoughtful.

He took steps towards his residence.

At this time, Earl Thorn also came over.

He seemed to have the same idea as Katim.

The next day, early in the morning, Earl Thorne summoned many lords present and held another meeting.

He didn't know what means he used, but he forcefully convinced the other five lords, including Enri.

Although the reluctance can still be seen on the faces of these lords, at least they can now sit in a hall and discuss things properly.

In the spacious conference room, a huge round table was quietly placed there.

A total of eight knight lords, including Katim, were sitting in front of this round table, listening carefully to the story of Wizard Sean in front of them.

"The emergence of plague is not entirely accidental. A normal plague is even less likely to resurrect the dead and turn them into corpse beasts."

Sean was responsible for explaining from the front: "The reason why they are like this is because of the influence of the aura of the corpse beast."

"Zombie beast?"

Someone below was wondering: "What is this?"

"A terrifying monster that feeds on life force and spreads the aura of death everywhere. It is usually born in places where a large number of life forms die."

Sean explained: "Generally speaking, corpse beasts are likely to be born in places where a large number of lives die at one time, such as battlefields."

Everyone below could not help but be stunned.

This condition seems to fit perfectly in their neighborhood.

The war at the border of the Black Forest has affected more than one human kingdom and a large tribe of orcs. Over the past few years, at least hundreds of thousands of them have died in the battle.

If you add in the civilians and slaves who died directly due to wars in various places, the number would be even greater.

The withering away of so many lives seems to perfectly meet the conditions for the birth of this corpse soul beast.

"The corpse beast feeds on huge vitality."

Sean continued to explain: "After being conceived and formed, in order to grow, they will instinctively spread their aura in various places where life gathers."

"The breath of the corpse beast is poison to the living and will cause many adverse reactions in the body."

"Some people with insufficient resistance will die directly due to this aura, and some people who are deeply infected by the aura will even resurrect after death and become corpse beasts and spread."

"These corpse beasts carry the aura of the corpse beasts, so once there are more of them, they will also have the effect of spreading the aura of the corpse beasts, slowly absorbing the vitality of the people around them, and becoming the food of the corpse beasts."

He spoke slowly, describing the various characteristics of the corpse beast one by one.

Everyone present couldn't help but frown.

Only then did they realize that this was the core of the plague.

On the surface, it looks like a plague, but it is actually caused by a kind of magical beast.

It's not that no one doubts Sean's words, it's just that the situation he said is too consistent, and many things are almost exactly the same as what they have here in detail, so they can't help but not believe it.

"So, our next task is to kill this corpse beast?" Someone asked: "Just like this, will this area recover?"

"The process is much more complicated than that."

Sean nodded: "But overall, it's true."

"As long as the corpse beasts are killed, the aura of the corpse beasts in this area will slowly dissipate. At that time, as long as the remaining corpse beasts are dealt with, there will naturally be no problems."

"In that case, what are we waiting for?"

Enli looked cold and said calmly: "Just find the corpse beast and go up and kill him."

"That's the problem."

Sean said calmly: "Zombie beasts like to lurk in various hidden corners. They usually only like to be active at night. Their whereabouts are very hidden and difficult to be discovered."

"It's very difficult to find the corpse beast."

After hearing this, everyone present vaguely understood.

In this operation, fighting the corpse beast does not seem to be the most difficult.

How to find the other party is the most difficult part of the whole process.

"That's exactly what I'm here for."

Facing the eyes of everyone below, he said: "In order to better understand the information about the corpse beast, I need you to help me capture a few corpse beasts and conduct research for a period of time."

"Through this kind of research, I can investigate some basic information and locate the approximate range of the corpse beast."

After the words fell, the people below couldn't help but look at each other.

Corpse beasts are not easy to catch.

It was okay when I first recovered. At that time, these things were mostly near villages and towns, so they were relatively easy to find.

But after a period of recovery, these things will follow their own instincts and disperse to various places.

This area is famously vast and sparsely populated. It is really difficult to catch a large number of corpse beasts in such a place in a short period of time.

Fortunately, someone stepped forward.

"that."

Katim spoke up: "I happened to capture a group of corpse beasts in my manor, and they are all still alive."

"If Mr. Sean doesn't mind, I can send these corpse beasts to you later."

"Oh?"

Sean's eyes couldn't help but light up.

He looked at Katim and nodded to him: "That would be great."

"As long as there are enough corpse beasts for research, I can find out the approximate location of the corpse beasts in half a month at most."

After a while, the meeting ended.

What surprised Katim was that Sean did not wait for Katim to take the initiative to send those corpse beasts, but followed Katim directly, wanting to go to the manor with him to see.

The reason is of course time.

Katim's territory is not very close to Thorne City, it is at least three or four days' journey.

It would take three or four days to make one trip. When Katim returned to his territory, he would arrange for people to deliver the corpse beasts. Seven or eight days would not be enough for this round trip.

After all, traveling alone and traveling in a large group of people are not the same concepts.

Now that time was running out, in order to see the corpse beast as soon as possible and conduct research, Sean directly chose to leave with Katim.

Katim is happy to see this happen.

He originally wanted to get closer to Sean so that he could learn more information about wizards from him. Now that Sean is willing to take the initiative to come, this is of course the best.

But what surprised Katim was that it was not only Sean who followed him, but also Count Thorne's favorite child, Daru Thorne.

This famous genius knight in Thorn City also came here this time, nominally to learn from Sean.

But in reality, the purpose is probably the same as Katim's, which is to find ways to build relationships.

From this aspect, Sean's background may be bigger than Katim thought, so much so that Earl Thorne sent all his favorite children over.

Katim didn't dislike this talented knight.

Under the reputation of a genius knight, the opponent seemed to behave more like an ordinary young man, a little clumsy, and also a little slow in many places, giving people the impression of being a little dull.

However, his temper is pretty good.

The three people moved forward, and after three full days, they finally returned to Katim's territory.

Ahead, a neat field is displayed, with wheat and other vegetables grown on it.

Not far away, there were still people working hard with simple farm tools.

Although the overall scene was still desolate, it suddenly felt much more comfortable compared to other places seen along the road.

"Mr. Katim."

Looking at the scenes around him, Daru couldn't help but say: "Your territory looks very good."

"Are these people your subordinates?"
