C74 Plague(2)

Marina glanced at me and a familiar mischievous smile appeared on her face. I felt very embarrassed and quickly used my eyes to signal for her to keep it a secret.

Graz said, "More than a hundred years ago, in the era of King Xixi, because of a moment of muddle-headedness, he signed a dirty contract with the devil. This dark contract has been cursing the Lut Gholein, and after King Jerhyn became the Crown Prince, due to his benevolence, he had decisively terminated this curse contract. He never thought that King Jerhyn's kindness would bring Undead Legions back to the world of mortals. Was this retribution? Tens of thousands of innocent people had already been sacrificed in this dirty transaction. King Jerhyn's benevolent decision has obtained our unanimous support, even if it is the revenge of the devil. We won't hesitate to do so. Could it be that the devil's revenge will start from now on? I warn your tribe, if you make a deal with the demons, misfortune will follow you forever. Just like today, you will one day taste the bitter fruit."

Graz's voice began to become indignant. Marina and I looked at each other and our expressions became serious. Regarding the contract between the Lut Gholein and the devil, outsiders were not very clear about the details. Only a few important figures in the Lut Gholein knew about it, because the Lut Gholein regarded it as the greatest humiliation. Naturally, they would keep it a secret from outsiders. Has the contract been terminated? I started to have a good impression of King Jerhyn. The contract had been terminated for more than a few years, but the devil did not seek revenge. This proved that the Warlock Canyon no longer existed. There were two possibilities. One was that the evil Necromancer had died of old age. The second possibility was that puzzle-solver had already wiped out the entire Warlock Canyon.

"Sacrificing tens of thousands?" Marina frowned.

"Yes. The price of getting help from the Undead Legions is to sacrifice one every day until the extinction of the race. You will also be asked for the corresponding price. " Graz was indignant.

"Bang!" Marina punched the table hard. The table immediately collapsed. "This is too evil!" She turned to look at me, even though Marina was beautiful when she was angry. But I felt a little uneasy because I am also a Necromancer. I have to be wary of her suddenly beating me up.

"Puchi!" Marina saw my expression and couldn't help but laugh again. I secretly comforted her in my heart. Marina's trust in me didn't seem to have changed.

"It's not like I will hit you. Why are you so nervous? "Marina teased.

I thought to myself, do you think you have never hit me before?

Graz looked at Marina's expression and then looked at my expression. He was a little confused.

But I can feel that this cunning chairman of the Mercenary Alliance must have thought himself clever and thought that Marina and I were flirting. At this time, it really shouldn't make people feel this way. Why would I flirt with a woman other than Talitha?

"Master Graz, I assure you that the skeleton warrior that I saw today is not the devil's Undead Legions. It was just a trick." I explained to Graz that I had to eliminate the resentment between them. Otherwise, there was no way to continue the discussion.

"I also promise that we have never made a deal with the devils." Marina glanced at me as if she was saying that your skeleton warrior is not the Undead Legions of Demon Realm, but it is not just a trick.

"Is it really a trick?" Graz was delighted, but he still wasn't sure.

Marina vaguely nodded a few times.

At this time, I have already casted the skeleton warrior. There is only a pile of scattered white bones left on the ground. Where is the existence of the Undead Legions?

"Master Graz, please turn back and take a look." I pointed at the pile of white bones.

Graz saw that the Undead Legions that was still baring its fangs and brandishing its claws had turned into a pile of bones. He wiped his eyes to confirm it. He couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Marina and I looked at each other again. Marina nodded. It was obvious that Lut Gholein had made an unforgivable mistake back then. As a result, they had to pay the price of losing their dignity over the past hundred years. It was impossible for them to rely on the power of darkness to invade the foreign races again. Then there must be a conspiracy behind the assassination.

"Master Graz, Lady Marina and I think there is a shady plot behind this matter, and they are trying to start a war between the clans." I said to Graz.

Marina and Graz finally reached a consensus on this matter.

"Who has such ulterior motives? Now that Jerhyn has been benevolent, the country is peaceful, and the people are rich, who would set up such a vicious scheme?" Graz was furious.

I reminded them that the conspirators must have planned for the two tribes to suffer heavy losses. At that moment, , Marina decided to retreat to the rainforest in the south. Graz promised to give the Amazon army a certain amount of grain and horses to help them return to the Southern base camp as soon as possible. They also agreed that once the enemy attacked, King of Lut Gholein and the Amazon tribe would form an alliance to defend against the enemy.

Both sides signed the contract. I was just relieved that this war had been resolved. At this moment, something unexpected happened. Alida rushed to the front of the formation and loudly reported, "Lady Marina, many soldiers in the camp suddenly fell ill due to fever. It spread very quickly."

Marina was shocked, "Could it be a plague?"
