Attribute restraint? Sorry, I am a full magician

Chapter 73 Passing by

"Brother? I asked, why are we guarding that dishonest guy in the room?"

Barbatos was sitting in the medical room at the door of Yogel, eating nuts unique to this world and complaining,

"Shouldn't we find some more powerful people to watch over us? Bah——"

Barbatos spit out the broken shells in his mouth and smacked his lips.

"Rebecca has made it very clear. I think their guess is correct. It is more direct and effective than the wait-and-see plan I proposed before. I didn't know there was such a thing as the core of the plague. As the city's native It’s also normal for residents to be more informed.”

Tan Xiao didn't eat the nuts Barbatos handed him. He couldn't help but said,

"Like now, our risk is smaller. If we can complete the mission just by staying here, that would be the best. I don't want to go to war everywhere. The water in Leitz City is too deep."

"Brother? Your strength doesn't match your courage! Just do it, why are you still looking forward and backward? This is a bad habit of yours, you have to change it! Bah——"

Tan Xiao turned his head and glanced at Barbatos, feeling the urge to treat him to a beating. He began to have some doubts that the bad-mouthed thing might have nothing to do with the profession of agitator, and it was purely because of Barbatos' personal personality. ability.

"Stop being so pushy, just eat your snacks. After you finish this mission, come back to Fast City with me. I heard that Holland is back, and I have to take Ciri to become a disciple."

"Yes, I was right."

Barbatos poured another pile of nuts into his hands and began his boring fishing game career.

Time goes back to a few hours ago, in the City Lord's conference room.

"Report to the City Lord! All the cores in the city that are releasing strange smoke have been destroyed!"

A city guard commander was reporting the latest progress in the city lord's palace in Leitz City. As the plague continued to spread, they discovered more than a dozen plague cores in the city. Whether big or small, they are constantly releasing a strange atmosphere.

Not all of these cores were set up by Eddie. After escaping from the manor that day, he didn't have much time to set up plague cores, so he could only place a few randomly on the way out of the city.

The rest were all set up by the Plague Mage in order to fuel the fire after guessing Eddie's plan.

This also resulted in the city guards being unable to guess Eddie's escape route through the locations of these plague cores.

At the same time, this also confirms the fact that Eddie is not the only undead lurking in the city, and there must be Eddie's accomplices.

As all the plague cores were destroyed one by one, the number of people infected with the plague in the city did not decrease significantly, and was even increasing rapidly. This gave Leeds City's senior officials a consensus.

Those plague cores are just a cover-up, and the way the plague spreads must not be. Or there is more than one way like the plague core.

"It's not the air."

Locke sat in front of his desk, looking at the map of Leeds City and the latest reported patient locations, and he suddenly noticed a detail.

The plague first broke out at water points in several cities, but there were plague cores near those water points. Locke ignored the possibility that the main mode of spread of the plague was not air, but water.

"The whole city stopped taking water from the Agate River, notified the city guards, assembled the troops, and immediately started searching the upper reaches of the Agate River!"

Locke waved his sleeves and his tone was extremely firm. He had determined that there must be a problem with the water source.

"Also, call Rebecca."

"Yes!"

The city guard commander did not hesitate and immediately turned around to make arrangements.

After a while, Rebecca was summoned to the city lord's conference room. After Locke destroyed all the plague cores in the city, but the situation had not improved, Rebecca's expression changed slightly. "So Rebecca, do you understand? Eddie's hiding place is basically certain and is no longer in the city. He may have been hiding in the upper reaches of the Agate River. You and I will go with the army to hunt him."

Locke raised his right hand, stopping Rebecca's intention to speak.

"It's not that I think Sir Feng Sheng's strategy is ineffective, it's just that Leeds City can't afford to wait. I can't just watch the situation continue to deteriorate here, waiting for the possibility of Eddie showing up on his own initiative."

Locke looked at Rebecca and spoke in a tone that left no room for doubt,

"Since Eddie is outside the city, this is a good opportunity for us to organize a hunt. We only need to leave a certain number of soldiers guarding the city. As for Yoger, let Lord Feng Sheng and his partners help guard it. Their strength can Restricting Yoger is enough to protect yourself."

Speaking to this extent, Rebecca really felt that there was no big problem with Locke's judgment, and she immediately spoke,

"Understood, I will inform Lord Feng Sheng right away."

Thus, there was the conversation at the beginning, and Barbatos and Tan Xiao were sitting at the door of Yoger's room, waiting for Locke's return.

At this moment, the large army of Leize City has been slowly advancing in the upper reaches of the Agate River.

"Report! There is a body here!"

Near the river valley, several city guards discovered a body. The corpse's head had been sucked dry, and there was no trace of brain marrow left.

"It's the work of the undead! That's right, Eddie must be nearby!"

The commander spoke in surprise, while Locke and Rebecca were keenly aware of something wrong.

"When was the body found?"

Locke frowned and asked, realizing something.

"It looks like he was just killed today!"

After carefully inspecting the body, the commander spoke cautiously. He also noticed the abnormality in Locke's attitude, which did not mean he was happy at all.

"No! Rebecca! Inform the temple priest and rush to the medical center!"

Before he could finish speaking, Rebecca had already taken out a magic message scroll, and she was also aware of a possibility.

"The entire army is speeding up the search! Those with unknown origins must be carefully interrogated and those who refuse to cooperate will be killed on the spot!"

At the moment Locke gave this order, in Leitz City, in front of the medical room, a man also shrouded in a cloak appeared.

To be precise, he is not a human, but an undead.

It is the current curse mage, Eddie.

The reason why he can enter and leave Leeds City at will is thanks to Meister.

It was precisely because of his caution that he built several tunnels under the manor, some of which could lead directly to the outside of the city. They were originally intended to avoid vendetta, but unexpectedly they have now become Eddie's secret weapon.

"Yogel, you betrayed me before you recovered, and I will let you taste misfortune today."

Eddie came smelling Yoger's scent. He didn't expect that Yoger hadn't left the medical room yet.

"Guardian Knight? Hey, I will make you a Death Knight today!"

Eddie stepped upstairs, and Tan Xiao at the door of the medical room suddenly opened his eyes. He noticed the breath of the undead.
