Chapter 97: Do You Have a Problem With Necromancers?
"Invisible enchantment? Could it be that his hands were covered with magic rings?
Matthew was once again amazed by the power of the rich.
[Hint: Lorraine has used Protection Against Disease on you for 4 hours. Due to the elements you have mastered in the Plague domain, the duration has been increased to 12 hours.]
On the other side, Lorraine had already run over excitedly.
Matthew hesitated for a moment and followed.
Fortunately, the team did not walk out for too long. They arrived at the back of a theatre-like building. There, a man in a long robe wearing a red mask was waiting quietly.
The leader of the team chatted with the red-faced man for a while and took a handful of silver coins from him. He then went back and distributed them to the others. The patients then scattered and left.
"If you don’t know how to go into Stealth or Hide, it’s best not to track others.” The red-faced man said to the alley in the opposite corner,
"Moreover, I can smell the stench on your body from afar… Hmm? And a necromancer?”
Lorraine boldly appeared.
Matthew followed about five steps behind him, his eyes alert.
"Did you pay them to go out on the streets?” Loraine questioned the red-faced man,
“Don’t you know you almost passed the fever to me?”
The red-faced man said calmly,
"I’m just helping them. They’re so poor that they can’t afford holy water. Rather than waiting to die, they might as well accept my help.”
Lorraine looked domineering.
"Huh? Are you really spinning yarn before a bard? Do you believe that I can refute you until you are dizzy and cry?
"Take off your mask and let me see your face. I guess you are one of the members of the temples that sell holy water. Hehe, spreading the plague is to make it easier to sell holy water, right?”
The red-faced man said coldly, “I advise you to keep a low profile, outsiders. Marsh Water City is not a place where anyone can behave atrociously.
"If you dare to violate the authority of the Plague King, your end will be very, very miserable. I guarantee that even death cannot describe the pain.
‘ Especially you, Bard. You might be able to live longer if you keep your mouth shut. Learn more from that Necromancer behind you. Look, he has always been quiet. This shows that he is a person who understands the times.”
Loraine said unhappily,
“My friend just doesn’t like to talk. Maybe he wants to beat you up more than I do!”
However, the red-faced man seemed to have lost interest in continuing the conversation.
He ignored Lorraine and Matthew and turned to leave.
"Remember my warning. Leave Marsh Water City as soon as possible and get as far away as possible. This place is not suitable for you!”
"Damn it!”
Lorraine clenched his fists tightly. He stared at the red-faced man for a while before he gradually loosened his grip.
At this moment, Matthew looked at him strangely.
“Aren’t you going to beat him up?”
I’m just bluffing,” Lorraine said helplessly.” Who knows what support he has behind behind him?”
Then, he looked at Matthew with dissatisfaction.
"Why didn’t you speak up for me just now?!”
"I thought you were going to fight him to the death.” Matthew shrugged.”
Lorraine glared at him and said,
“How could I be so reckless? After all, the patients didn’t really infect me.”
At this moment.
There was a commotion in the direction where the red-faced man had disappeared.
Lorraine looked over.
In the end, he saw a skeleton wiggling its hips and carrying a bloody head towards them.
"You… You!
‘ You killed him!”
Loraine looked at Matthew in surprise.
Matthew said calmly,
“Yes, because he really infected me.”
[Hint: You have killed a Plague Envoy (LV9). Plague Domain Element: Infected
+1]
‘What Plague King? He’s just a small fry!’
Matthew glanced at the kill record of Soldier and lowered his evaluation of the King of Plague.
In fact, when he was sure that the Plague King actually needed to spend money to hire patients to spread the plague on the streets, he had already deduced that this guy’s level and domain were not too high.
After all, if they were a high-level casters, they would not rely on such a low-level infection method.
So while Lorraine and the red-faced man were talking, Matthew had already expressionlessly asked Soldier to go into hiding.
And the notification after killing the plague envoy also proved this point.
If the Plague King were an Evil Art Master, he would definitely know immediately of this transgression. Matthew would inevitably attract the attention of the Plague King.
But now, the system had not been updated, which proved that the Plague King did not even know that his underling had died.
‘What I need to find out is why the many powerful forces in Marsh Water City allow such a weak Plague King to wreak havoc?
‘Perhaps it’s similar to Lorraine’s conjecture. The Plague King is a puppet that the various temples pushed out to sell holy water?’
He came back to his senses.
Matthew found Lorraine staring at him.
"What’s wrong?” he asked.
"It’s nothing.” Lorraine shook his head with a subtle look in his eyes.”So, you’re a necromancer?”
Matthew nodded.
“Yes, do you have a problem with necromancers?”
Loraine blinked.
"I mean, do you know any sisters in the same trade that you can introduce to me? I’ve never dated a necromancer before!”
Matthew was speechless.
Under Lorraine’s expectant gaze, he reluctantly replied,
“I do know a necromancer who is now my sister..”
