Breath of the Dead

Under Gu Xi's inquiry, Luna quickly explained the situation in Victoria City.

It turned out that the incident at Westminster Abbey last time added the final fuel to Victoria's already precarious situation.

The powder keg of Victoria was detonated.

The seventh urban transformation has begun early.

For the nobles in Victoria, this was an opportunity and carnival.

But for Aridovi City, this is a big trouble, because in this mirror world, a new Aridovi City will appear again.

This will make the already chaotic mirror space even more chaotic.

If this is just good, at most it means that there are more cities that can be captured in the mirror world where Alidovi is.

But this chaos temporarily cut off the connection between Alidovi City and Victoria City.

The two cities became inseparable, and Luna and Saya were trapped in Victoria City and could not return.

If the owl sent by Gu Xi hadn't desperately delivered the letter to Luna, maybe Luna would have planned to take Shaya to the mirror underground palace again.

As soon as Luna explained the situation, Gu Xi turned to look at Shaya.

At this time, Gu Xi noticed that there were several undead beings following Sha Ya.

Except for the leader of the skeleton mage, several of these undead looked like something Gu Xi had never seen before.

Their skin looked like it had been burned through mud shells, and there were lines of flames on the surface of the skin.

"Who are these?"

Gu Xi pointed at the undead and asked.

"They are the housekeeper I hired to take care of the small building, the Sheriff of Greenwich Street, and the girl from the neighbor's house. But something has happened, and their situation may not be good."

Shaya explained the origins of these undead.

Gu Xi glanced at them and thought that their situation was not very good. They had already become undead. How could they be better?

However, Gu Xi did not complain about these people, but asked: "What's Victoria's situation now?"

"What else could it have been, a cinder riot."

Shaya curled her lips.

"Cinder? It's the steam power behind the small building? Why are they rioting? Are they rioting because there is a lack of this in the city?"

Gu Xi became even more confused as he listened.

"No, sir, in fact, their current situation is that of incomplete combustion of cinders."

"Them? Cinder?"

Gu Xi looked at the undead in front of him in surprise. He could not tell at all that there was any direct connection between these undead and Cinder.

Perhaps seeing that Gu Xi was unclear about the relationship, Shaya quickly explained.

"Actually, cinder disease first appeared in steam factories. To use the church's parlance, those workers were constantly exposed to the power of steam, and their bodies slowly carbonized.

This carbonization is irreversible and can only be resisted by taking the breath of other living beings.

However, people who are sucked out of the human breath by carbonizers, even if they are not workers in steam factories, will also suffer from this carbonization disease.

They are going to inhale other people's breath of life again.

In addition, some people have discovered that the corpses of workers who died due to carbonization are the best fuel. Therefore, workers who are sick are generally not taken for treatment. Instead, they are locked up in the factory until they die.

Even if a few patients with carbonization escape from the steam factory, they cannot escape the pursuit of the factory owners. "

"Oh my God, even the bones of this worker were sold."

Listening to Sha Ya's explanation, Gu Xi couldn't help but be stunned. Even though he was a necromancer, he thought those factory owners in Victoria City had gone too far.

"It was nothing serious this time. Many people in the entire city of Victoria knew about this situation, but everyone had to fight to survive.

The cinder riots actually had many reasons. The most critical point was that someone planned to rebuild Victoria City.

Your Excellency, do you still remember the rising land prices in Camden? "

"Remember."

Gu Xi must have remembered this incident. It was precisely because of this incident that he became attached to Sha Ya.

“This is actually because some nobles have heard the news and are hoarding land.

As a result, something happened at Westminster Abbey. The church, military, and royal family in Victoria City focused their attention on it, and some nobles started to make small plans.

They chose to demolish part of the building.

For example, if a certain neighborhood is burned down, and then considering that the neighborhood cannot be rebuilt after it is burned, the country will be taken back for management.

I've been staying in Victoria to deal with this problem."

"They're really having fun."

Gu Xi somewhat disdained the methods used by those nobles.

"But they played bad tricks and set fire without the ability to put out the fire. The fire burned near the Isis River. As a result, someone was transporting a large number of poor people there to send them to the steam factory to let them work.

Most of these poor people have already suffered from carbonization disease. Because they have been locked up, not many people know about it, but this fire has freed them.

Relying on their survival instincts, these poor people ran around Victoria City, frantically absorbing the scent of strangers. The carbonization disease spread from one to two, and then to four, spreading more and more.

Eventually all of Victoria was walking cinders. "

When Gu Xi heard this, he understood that Victoria was trying to kill herself.

The current situation is clearly a carbonized version of Resident Evil.

"Then how was Victoria's condition when you came back?"

"I'm afraid it's not too optimistic. The church and the royal family are all focusing on Westminster Abbey, and there is simply no spare time.

The army had no orders and could not march into the city, and the nobles' private soldiers could not withstand the attack and could only defend their territory.

So I am afraid that the current Victoria City is no longer viable.

Rebuilding after being razed to the ground by fire is the best possible outcome. "

After hearing this, Gu Xi finally understood why Alidovi City decided that Victoria City was undergoing its seventh change.

It seems that this city is no longer undergoing earth-shaking changes, but is about to be wiped out and rebuilt.

"Then my small building over there?"

"The small building was still there when we came here, but we can't say whether it can be preserved."

Hearing this, Gu Xi also fell silent.

He had already heard that the situation in Victoria City was quite complicated, and it would be of little use to invest as little troops as he could.

But when Gu Xi was about to give up Victoria City, he saw Luna.

Gu Xi understood that Luna and Alidovi City were closely connected.

Even though he can now expand Alidovi City through other means, he cannot cut off the connection between Alidovi City and Victoria City.

If we forcibly abandon Victoria City now and try to connect to it later, it will be difficult.
