Chapter 84: The Trend of Corruption

Kao seemed to be showing off, unable to hold back his trembling voice with excitement, and said: "Do you know who the greatest enemy of the great Ross family is? It's the elf! After the death of the most powerful god-chosen Bloody Rose in the family, what happens next? Several divine choices also died in the Elven War."

"Nowadays, the family's Chosen God is in decline, and the most powerful Chosen God is in the hands of the second lady. But I heard that there is a Chosen God who can make puppets, and he has been living in seclusion in the castle of the Rose family."

"You know this, you're not bragging, right? Mr. Kaa." The maid Scissors rolled her eyes and immediately questioned. She is one of the few people who is not afraid of the housekeeper. After all, always serving the baron closely will gain the power of being invisible.

"Of course, I overheard this with my own ears when the Earl's eldest son was having fun with his wife's sister, and it was on the balcony on the top floor of the castle. It was even a windy day." Kaa was so proud that his thin face was beaming with joy. .

There was dead silence.

Seeing the servants fall into silence, Kaa gradually realized that he was talking about a very dangerous topic again.

Kao looked at everyone, especially the harmless expression of Cun Guan, and suddenly sweatdropped: "You won't tell anyone, right?"

"I know now why the Lord doesn't let us receive guests." Sparrow looked speechless.

Scissors nodded: "I'm afraid even the color of your underwear will be revealed by the mole."

other side.

"Phew~ It feels good. I finally cleaned up the nasty mucus and blood stains."

After washing up, Shirley was wearing a loose shirt and jacket, with her wet hair sticking neatly to her shoulders. With a confident smile on her pretty face, Shirley glanced at Field, but found that Field didn't react much.

Damn it, I wish I had a proper long skirt, instead of wearing the ugly clothes Field provided, otherwise I would definitely confuse him!

"Looking much better, radiant, beautiful young lady." Field praised him without saltiness.

Shirley snorted, then smiled and said, "I like your honesty."

Chief Knight William and Valtteri also walked in. After the blood and stains were removed from their bodies, they looked like characters from a TV series.

William is a macho man with a Chinese character. He is unsmiling and his every move is full of perseverance, which may allow him to cosplay the power of Demacia without any problem.

And Valtteri seems to be a female bodybuilding champion. His whole body is full of explosive muscles, but his face is very beautiful. The appearance of the chosen one will not be bad.

"Gu~"

A loud sound came from the stomachs of the three people, making them blush.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lord Baron. We were so hungry that we didn't even have a piece of bread for six days."

Valtteri laughed, then scratched his head and said he was rude, calmly alleviating Shirley's embarrassment.

"Please take a seat, the food has been prepared a long time ago. I was worried that you might not like it." Field quickly extended his hand to signal and smiled gently, "I think we understand each other, this is a place of corruption, the luxury standards of the nobility. It’s hard to do, and that’s all I can do to help.”

"As long as you have something to eat." Valtteri couldn't bear it anymore. He sat down, grabbed a piece of meat, and wolfed it down.

It was also difficult for Shirley to maintain elegance, and she exercised the utmost restraint when using a knife and fork.

Originally, Field had prepared an excuse to explain why he didn't use a maid to serve him, but Shirley and others didn't care at all, saving Field the trouble of talking.

The nobles seemed to be easy to get along with, Field thought.

I am too sensitive, and I used to guard against them like thieves.

"Hey~ So satisfied!"

The three of them rubbed their watermelon bellies with contentment on their faces. They ate food for fifteen people, and Field was worried that they would die from exhaustion.

Seeing that the guests had stopped eating, Field put down his tea cup, cleaned his hands with a wet handkerchief in the sink, and then rang the bell on the table.

Asheina walked out quickly and cleared the table silently.

"I didn't expect you to have a demi-human maid."

Shirley wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, looking surprised, and then showed an expression of "you are so perverted, but I understand you", pretending to be disgusted.

Field was amused by Shirley's ugly expression, and knew that the young lady in front of him did not mean to be sarcastic, so he asked, "It's cute, isn't it?"

"Indeed, everyone has different hobbies, and I respect everyone." Shirley tilted her head, but as if she thought of something, her expression suddenly became serious, "Dear Baron Field, there is bad news, although it will be difficult to tell it. It’s unpleasant to offend you, but I need to give you a warning.”

"Oh?" Field immediately straightened his back and leaned his upper body forward slightly, "You might as well just say it."

"It's corruption. A lot of corruption is gathering." Shirley changed her previous smile and said in a very sad and even fearful voice, "They are everywhere, from the main city of Lionheart to the Viscount Territory. , and are even continuing to gather.”

"It's a horrific natural disaster that has never happened before." Valtteri nodded, "Sir, I am Valtteri, a second-level God's Chosen One. I can swear by my faith."

"Of the two hundred investigation knights, only three of us survived."

After saying this, the three of them were silent, and tears streaked down the corners of Shirley's eyes.

Field sighed and followed the moment of silence.

About a minute later, Shirley wiped away her tears: "Corrupting creatures have always had no purpose or logic. To be precise, their goal is to kill and corrupt other people. In the past, when our survey corps entered the Northern Province, although it was The tide of corpses continues, but it has never felt like it does now.”

Field frowned slightly: "What do you feel? Please tell me in detail."

"The corrupted creatures began to cooperate with each other, deploy troops, use wisdom, and form a superior-subordinate relationship."

"I feel that the corruption has given birth to an existence that can control all corrupted creatures, that is, the emperor."

Shirley's face was gloomy, and the endless gray fog outside the window gave people a chill in the spine.

Damn it.

Field slapped his forehead. He has been corrupted for ten years. It turned out that he had just come in, and the corruption of the special cat had given birth to intelligence, right?

"So, Field, leave the northern province quickly and return to the imperial defense line. The Night Territory has no defenses. Once it is attacked, it will fall in an instant."

"Do you know when they will launch an attack?" Field suppressed his inner irritability and took a few deep breaths.

"In one year at the fastest and three years at the slowest, we will definitely launch an attack on the defense line." Shirley said firmly, "I have been following my father in battles since I was eight years old. I am very familiar with the nature of various monsters. Time is really running out."

"One year..."

Field was silent for a moment, and said bluntly: "Abandoning the fiefdom without authorization is against the laws of the empire. Besides, I have nowhere to go except the Night Territory."
