After the refugee incident, the following journey was peaceful.
Under the escort of the Knights, the convoy crossed the Belal Plain. Three days later, he arrived at the border of the Duchy of Swamp, a small village called Hei Shui Town.

The silver carriage stopped, and a knight stepped forward and opened the door. The wizard Hallen tidied up his collar and slowly walked out of the carriage, while Enzo followed him.
"This...is the Bravo family's secular territory?"
On the ground, Enzo looked around. The barren and backward towns were mostly low stone houses. Refugees infected by the plague could be seen everywhere in the corners. Almost everyone had pain and numbness on their faces.
"It's just a part of the territory."
Stepping on the muddy land, Hallen's face looked a little disgusted, and frowned and said, ": After passing Blackwater Town, you can reach [Hejian City], [Karen City] and [Crocodile Claw City], those places are the important territory of the Bravo family."
"However, the plague first appeared in Hei Shui Town, so the situation here is also quite serious."
Enzo nodded slightly. Since Hei Shui Town is the source of the plague, it is understandable that the convoy's first stop is stopped here. He walked slowly forward and his eyes swept across every part of the barren town.
quack!!
A harsh and unpleasant sound rang out. A crow fell on the eaves of the stone house, the bird's beak was flexibly combed with feathers, and a pair of scarlet eyes were filled with bloodthirsty luster, staring at the bottom of the stone house.
In the corner, a skinny old man lay.
He had been infected with the plague, his skin was ulcerated, and his foul smell was emitting. His turbid eyes gradually lost their luster. After a painful sob, his body tilted and fell down.
The crow's flapping wings flew over excitedly.
On the corpse of the old man who was plague, the crow opened his bird's beak and pecked, tearing off a piece of flesh and blood from his festering skin, and swallowing his stomach in one bite.
On the side, the wizard Hallen frowned.
Although he regarded mortals as ants, he was all the same after all. When he saw the crow tearing the flesh and blood from the corpse, he was a little displeased. He raised his hand and condensed a ball of energy and prepared to throw it over.
"Wait a minute, the wizard Hallen." Enzo suddenly spoke and stopped him.
The wizard Hallen raised his eyebrows and flicked his palm at will, and the energy dissipated. In the corner of the stone house, the crow was still tearing the flesh and blood from the corpse, looking extremely excited.
"Just try the ability you master in the Tomb of the Crow." Enzo slowly closed his eyes.
It seemed as if invisible power came upon the crow. The crow, which had originally tore up the flesh and blood on the corpse, suddenly remained motionless, and a trace of human luster flashed in the scarlet eyeballs.
The next moment, the crow's head moved and his eyes glanced around him.
When he first tried to descend a trace of his soul on the crow's body, Enzo had a very strange feeling. Through the crow's eyes, he could see a scene far away.
This is one of the derivative abilities of the meditation method of "The Legend of Crows", which shares souls with the Corvus creatures.
Then, Enzo controlled the crow and flew to the eaves, slowly closing his eyes, and a strange feeling emerged, and pictures kept flashing through his mind.
That is the memory of this crow!
After experiencing the illusion world in the Tomb of the Crow, Enzo has long been familiar with the current scene. Using the functions of the chip, he quickly recorded the entire memory of the crow.
Starting from the shell breaking, the crow stage, flying out of the nest...
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Enzo's heart moved, and the crow's memory stayed at the night a few months ago. At that time, there was no plague in Hei Shui Town. The crow fell on the eaves of a stone house, quietly staring at everything below.
Under night, beside the well in the center of the town.
A thin figure appeared sneakily, took out a bottle of unknown liquid from his body, poured it into the well, and then quietly left in the night.
Under the afterglow of the moonlight, the strange totems painted with oil are particularly clear on the blurred faces!
"So, was this plague deliberately created by someone?" Enzo opened his eyes, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes. The crow on the eaves in the distance seemed a little frightened after losing his soul control, and immediately flew into the sky with his wings.
"Have you found anything? Lord Enzo." The wizard Hallen asked.
"If my speculation is correct, there should be someone behind this plague..." Enzo said, but before he could finish his words, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the entrance of Hei Shui Town.
"It's the Bravo family's cavalry." Hallen looked at the entrance of the town not far away, a cavalry team appeared, carrying flags with thorn flowers printed on them.
After the cavalry team appeared in Blackwater Town, a knight who looked like a leader immediately turned over and dismounted, quickly walked to the front of the wizard Hallen, and knelt on one knee and said, ": Potter, the commander of the Hejian City Legion, see Lord Hallen!"
"Get up." Hallen asked indifferently, ": What are the cavalry teams in Hejian City doing in Heishui Town? Don't you know that the plague is spreading?"
Legion Commander Potter stood up and said respectfully, "Report to Lord Hallen, I came to Hejian City Lord Odori to clean up the bodies that died due to the plague."
"Cleaning out the bodies that died from the plague?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, sir." Porter explained, ": During this period, the plague in Blackwater Town has become more and more serious. The civilians in the town have almost died almost the same. If the bodies are left untreated, it will only speed up the spread of the plague!"
"So, we need to deal with the corpse in a uniform manner and transport it to the corpse pit in the wilderness near Hejian City for burial!"
"Why not burn the body on the spot?" Enzo was a little confused.
This time, without Porter's answer, the wizard Hallen spoke on his own initiative and sighed, ": It's too slow to do that. Since the plague in Hei Shui Town, countless people have died in the surrounding area in half a year and cannot be burned at all, so they can only be transported to the deep pits in the wilderness to be buried."
"So that's the case." Enzo nodded slightly.
Then, the commander of the legion, Potter, began to command his men to carry the bodies of Heishui Town onto chariots, intending to transport them to the corpse pit outside Hejian City before dark.
"Let's leave here first."
The wizard Hallen looked solemn and said, "Although Blackwater Town is the source of the plague, this kind of town is not important to the Bravo family. The place where the plague needs to be solved as soon as possible is still in Hejian City."
"Yes, but please wait."
