Chapter 318 The Night Ghost in the Catacombs
Lothar frowned, walking in the corridor with bad smell.

It's much more spacious here than he imagined.

It's just that when you first went down the well, the passage was relatively narrow, but the deeper you went, the wider it became, just like a huge underground world.

Although Lothar knew that there was an underground palace in Constantinople, and it played a big role when the Ottomans besieged Constantinople.

But the "underground palace" here is not the same as he imagined.

"What exactly are we going to face next?"

Lothar raised his head, stepped over a muddy puddle, and asked, "Is it just a group of rats?"

Holding a flame for lighting in Anna's hand, upon hearing this, she shook her head and said, "It's rats, but there are more than one group, and what we want to solve is the source of these rats."

"They carry the Black Death?"

"Black Death?"

Anna was slightly stunned, and immediately thought that many people who died in Justinian's Great Plague had darkened skin and were full of abscesses. The name "Black Death" was indeed quite appropriate.

"I don't know, but according to what Lienna said, their bodies are full of abscesses. They are definitely not healthy mice, and they are quite aggressive."

Lothar frowned. He was not worried that he would get sick. On the one hand, his physical attributes were relatively high. On the other hand, after possessing the blood of dragon descendants, he was almost invulnerable to all diseases.

"During the Great Plague of Justinian, there were so many rats raging?"

"Rats are plentiful. According to the records, they are all overrun, but it is not the same as the current situation."

Lothar breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just a plague of rats, it would be tricky, but there are still ways to solve it, and the destructive power is relatively limited.

The Black Death was beyond his capabilities.

Even with martial law, those rats and their fleas would still spread deadly germs to every corner of the civilized world.

"Can you still get in touch with Lienna?"

"I can't."

The group of three fell into a brief silence.

No matter what era, losing contact is not a good sign.

Losa comforted: "Maybe she is too busy fighting to reply to your message."

"Maybe, who knows."

Anna had an ominous premonition in her heart, she wouldn't say that even when Lienna was fighting with a man on the bed, she still didn't forget to describe to her that the man's skills were terrible, and he could only savagely collide. .

Lienna is a slutty woman, but she is also a good and reliable companion, and their friendship has lasted for many years.

The reason why she was invited to Constantinople was because she was really short of manpower, which was considered to fill the vacancy that Nissaia was stationed in Jerusalem.

"Maybe I should listen to her and ask her to contact some witchers."

she thought so.

In front of you, suddenly bright.

They came to an open passage through which an underground river flowed.

All kinds of semi-dried dirt occupied the exposed "muddy river bed", emitting a pungent stench.

Lothar took a careful look at the flame in Anna's hand, and found that it had no tendency to explode, so he was slightly relieved.

At the very least, the methane here is not as strong as the dry toilet in Lothar's previous life when he went to school, the kind of place where you have to worry about it exploding when you light a cigarette.

"That is?"

Lothar pointed to a pale skeleton not far away, and his eyes were a little blinded by the terrible smell.

They approached and took a closer look, and Anna said, "Obviously, this is the corpse of a water ghost. It was gnawed clean. There is a high probability that it was done by the rat that Lienna mentioned."

There are still some jagged tooth marks on the skeleton.

"If the bones of the water ghosts and ghouls were not so hard, they would definitely chew the bones clean."

"Anna, I have a question. There are so many rats in this underground palace. What do they usually eat?"

"Isn't it already obvious that these monsters that live underground, when they are eaten up, these rats should head to the surface."

Are there so many monsters living in the underground of Constantinople?
Lothar frowned: "How did these mice come here?"

"Who knows, maybe it's the work of some self-righteous evil wizard."

Anna's tone was dull: "There are so many monsters under Constantinople, it's only normal for some wizards to come here to conduct their evil research."

She looked at Lothar, with a mocking smile on her face: "Actually, people in the world don't know all about wizards who have long noses, nest in a corner, and do crazy experiments." It's a misunderstanding, even in my opinion, most wizards are not good people."

"Are you that small part?"

"What do you think?"

"Of course."

"Thank you."

A group of people walked and chatted.

The deeper you go, the worse the smell in the air, and many places have been completely covered with filth, like walking through a rotten swamp—everything here is bad, Lothar thinks Lienna is right , This kind of work should be handed over to those poor demon hunters. For this, he would rather pay a high price of five hundred Suledes.

"Anna, if... I mean, if these rats really carry the Black Death, what should we do?"

"Find the source of the plague and cut their lives from the source."

Lothar frowned: "Is there such a thing?"

"If it was a magical creation, there would be. If it wasn't..."

Anna didn't say any more, but silently made a sign of the cross in front of her.

The atmosphere became a little depressing, and the group of three began to continue on their way.

It is worth mentioning that although Eve's physical strength is average, she has mastered a levitation technique, which allows her to isolate herself from the dirt while maintaining the speed to follow closely behind the two.

This made Lothar very envious.

Levitation is not an easy spell to master, it is slightly less difficult than Transfiguration, but after mastering it, at most, you can only float less than one meter in the air, and the cost performance is actually quite average.

It can be seen from this that Eve, the house girl, has been bored in the Imperial Library for so many years, and she is definitely not in vain.

Ahead, suddenly there was a rapid sound of flapping wings.

A huge bat-like monster flew out of the darkness and rushed towards the group of people.

"It's a night ghost."

Anna explained: "There's no need to rush to do it. Night ghosts are smarter among low-level monsters. Maybe you can get some information from them."

The target of this night ghost is obviously not Lothar and his party, its human-like face is full of fear.

"Get out of the way!"

The night ghost uttered a hurried and crappy human voice. Although this monster looked ugly, resembling a big bat with a gray scarf, its voice was surprisingly pleasant.

It is said that night ghosts often disguise themselves as injured boys and girls, and with their moving voices, they attract people who return in the evening.

Anna asked, "What's ahead?"

"Quick, run!"

Although the night ghost is a low-level monster, it can still feel the powerful magic power from Anna and Eve, as well as the strong dragon breath from Lothar, so it has no desire to resist at all.

"There are rats, lots of them, eating meat"

It was clearly terrified.

"You go."

Anna frowned, turned sideways, and signaled Lothar to make way for a passage.

"Just let it go?"

From Lothar's point of view, it's fine if you don't encounter this kind of monster. Now that you encounter it, you should deal with it smoothly. Who knows how many people it will eat later.

"Don't worry, this night ghost is most likely the offspring of the night ghost I caught and threw here before."

Lothar: "Huh?"

Anna explained: "Don't look at me with the eyes of a perverted wizard who looks at raising monsters. Night ghosts not only eat people, but also eat monsters. I put a curse in their blood, and they and their descendants are not allowed to leave the underground palace. Half a step."

"They are coming, Lothar, protect Eve."

Anna exhorted.

While speaking, rustling sounds began to be heard in the distance.

Crowds, densely packed, like endless rats, rushed out from the other end of the passage.

Getting a little closer, Lothar finally saw the whole picture of these mice clearly. Each of them was the size of a fist, their wet hair was covered with dirt from the sewer, and their skin was covered with black pustules.

Under the scarlet eyes, there are two rows of front teeth that are as sharp as knives.

Anna counted together and chanted the spell in a low voice. The terrifying magic storm lifted her body up, and the magical aura reflected colorful brilliance around her.

"burst!"

boom--

The terrifying magic power turned into a shock wave and spread out suddenly. Wherever it passed, all the rats were flying in flesh and blood, and the stumped limbs and internal organs formed a filthy rain and fell on the barrier propped up by Eve.

The smell, got worse.

for a long time.

The swarm of rats that came forward was finally cleaned up, and Anna slowly landed on the ground. She let out a sigh of relief. In terms of the total amount of mental power and magic power, she had already half stepped into the realm of legend.

In the entire wizarding world, they are considered top powerhouses.

It didn't take her much strength to clean up the group of rats.

Anna's face was a little more relaxed: "These mice have a faint magical aura, which means that they are created by magic. Destroying their source of magic power can eliminate this disaster."
