Taking the blind girl with him, Fang Zheng set out on the road again. However, not long after walking forward, he understood what the blind girl meant.

"This is so tragic..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. Not far in front of him, there was a black carriage that had overturned on the ground, and the bodies of the guards were everywhere beside it. In fact, seeing this, Fang Zheng almost guessed what happened before - the blind girl and her guards escaped from the castle in a carriage, but were caught up here, the carriage was attacked and damaged, the guards stayed behind to cover the retreat, and the blind girl escaped alone... But unfortunately, it seemed that they were all killed.

Anyway...what the hell is that?

Fang Zheng frowned as he looked at the strange-looking creatures behind the carriage. They looked like monkeys with feathers and wings, wearing simple clothes and holding a large black iron machete in their hands. At this moment, these monsters were screaming and slashing at the bodies of the soldiers in front of them with their machetes.

Hearing the monsters' cries, the blind girl grabbed Fang Zheng's clothes tightly.

"Yes, those crazy servants..."

"You actually use this thing as a servant. Your aesthetic taste is quite strange."

Fang Zheng complained silently, then tightened his grip on the sword.

"Got it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zheng rode his golden warhorse and rushed forward like a whirlwind. Seeing Fang Zheng rushing over, the monsters turned around and tried to block his advance, making groans. However, the weak bodies of the monsters did not provide any resistance at all. The golden warhorse's hooves stepped directly on the monsters' bodies, knocking them to the ground and crushing them. The monsters on both sides did not even have time to wave their weapons to show their presence before they were beheaded by Fang Zheng's sword.

After breaking through the canyon, the scene ahead was even more tragic. The city walls collapsed, and even the city gates disappeared. However, because of this, Fang Zheng could clearly see the castle on the other side of the hillside. At this moment, the castle looked in ruins, with thick black smoke, and...

“Oh my god!”

Almost subconsciously, Fang Zheng suddenly pulled the reins, and the golden warhorse leaped up. Almost at the same time, a steel arrow that was even bigger than the horse flew past from under the horse's belly and hit the hillside not far behind him.

"boom!!"

"Shit, what the hell is that?"

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng was also sweating coldly. He looked forward again and saw that at the gate of the castle, there was a guy who looked like a steel robot, about four or five meters tall, standing there. He held a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, bending the bow and putting an arrow on it...

“Swoosh!!”

The heavy arrow shot out again, flying towards Fang Zheng, and Fang Zheng snorted coldly, swung the sword in his hand forward, and hit the top of the arrow directly, deflecting it away. Then he accelerated again, and in the blink of an eye he came to the side of the metal giant, and then Fang Zheng aimed at the metal giant's ankle and swung the sword, directly cutting it off, and the metal giant, who lost his balance, also fell backwards to the ground - and then Fang Zheng chopped off his head, turning it into a pile of scrap metal.

"Wow, I didn't expect there was a Gundam - I mean, how can I lose with a Gundam? This Gundam is no match for me."

Fang Zheng took a look at the metal giant who had fallen to the ground and complained. Then he came to the city gate and dismounted. There was no one here. The entire city gate was empty. Fang Zheng brought the blind girl to the elevator room inside and stepped on the middle floor. Then, the wooden elevator began to rise gradually. It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive in front of the castle's atrium.

“Tsk tsk tsk…”

Seeing the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh. In a corner of the courtyard, there were densely packed corpses. It seemed that those corpses were the guards and servants of the castle. These corpses had been completely burnt, turning into a black hill of bones. At the top of the hill, there was a cross with a long-dead body tied to it, burning in flames.

On this pile of corpses, several monsters were excitedly raising their hands and kneeling at the top. There was a monster holding a big axe. Even if Fang Zheng couldn't understand what they were saying, he could guess that this guy must have a high status among the monsters.

"Um... sir? What on earth happened here?"

At this time, the blind girl also asked uneasily, perhaps it was a good thing that she was blind in this world. After all, such a hell on earth was not suitable for ordinary people to appreciate.

"Nothing, just stand there and don't move."

Fang Zheng whispered something, then he raised his left hand. Soon, the card appeared out of thin air and spun down...

"PERSONA!!"

Following Fang Zheng's call, Alice fell from the sky and appeared in front of him.

"Kill them."

Fang Zheng was too lazy to waste time on these guys and gave the order directly. Alice nodded slightly, then she stretched out her hand and pointed forward.

Soon, countless gorgeous playing cards fell from the sky and enveloped the entire courtyard. Then, long spears rose from the ground. Before the monsters could even figure out what was happening, they were pierced through the bodies by the spears that emerged from the ground and became part of the corpses on the ground.

"Okay, let's go."

"Um……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the blind girl nodded uneasily. She was not a fool. The shrill laughter of the monsters and the pungent smell, coupled with the dead silence around her, made her able to guess what had happened even though she couldn't see anything. So she stopped talking and followed Fang Zheng forward.

Most of the castle had been occupied by these monsters. Fang Zheng led the blind girl to the top and finally found the only place that had not fallen - a tower. In front of the tower, the remaining soldiers were fighting the monsters. Unfortunately, they could not hold out for long. When Fang Zheng arrived here, the last soldier was chopped into pieces by the monsters.

Of course, Fang Zheng quickly avenged these soldiers.

When the two of them arrived at the top of the tower, they saw a middle-aged man wearing white armor and with a shaggy beard sitting there, with his head down and motionless. Hearing footsteps, he raised his head, and when he saw the blind girl behind Fang Zheng, the middle-aged man's face suddenly changed.

"Irena?!"

"Father!!"

Hearing the middle-aged man's voice, Irena smiled immediately. She hurried forward and came to the middle-aged man, stretching out her hands to hug him. The middle-aged man also grabbed Irena and stared at her uneasily.

"What's going on? Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to escape?"

"The carriage she was riding in was attacked by those monsters and destroyed, and all the guards were killed. When I passed by, she was sitting alone on the roadside. She asked me to bring you a letter, but I felt it was not safe for a girl to stay there alone, so I sent her back."

At this moment Fang Zheng also stepped forward and explained what had happened to the middle-aged man. After listening to Fang Zheng's explanation, the middle-aged man also showed a grateful expression.

"Thank you, young man. Oh... My name is Edgar. I was ordered by Lord Greg to defend this city... But you saw that all the servants rebelled. I thought they would work peacefully, but it turned out to be a trick... These damn dehumanized people... They are truly defilers, and their hearts are filthy as well."

"You're welcome, it's just a small favor... Now that you've met, it's time to leave here."

"Yes, father."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the blind girl nodded vigorously.

"It's too dangerous here. We encountered many enemies along the way... Father, please leave here with me."

"That won't do."

However, the middle-aged man shook his head.

"Even though the city has been lost, as the one in power, I still have things to do. Morn's priceless treasure was taken away by the Defiler. I must get it back. Only in this way can I leave here."

“…”

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly.

Look, what did I say?

Fortunately, we brought the person here, otherwise it would be a huge trouble.

"Okay, then I'll help you get the sword back."

Anyway, that's the routine.

Fang Zheng had long been accustomed to it, he could almost see the top of the middle-aged man's head!

There is nothing much to say next. According to what the middle-aged man said, Fang Zheng found the boss who commanded the group of monsters, chopped him down with a sword, and then took back the so-called family heirloom sword.

but……

“That’s it, right?”

Fang Zheng silently handed over the big sword in his hand, and the middle-aged man was ecstatic when he saw the big sword.

"Ah, that's it. Thanks to your help, this sword has finally been saved from falling into the hands of the defiler."

"Well... take it then."

Fang Zheng directly handed over the big sword in his hand. He didn't even want this thing.

The reason is simple, this thing... is trypophobia!

On the hilt, there are countless small blades densely packed together. These blades, which look about the same length as daggers, are gathered together to form the body of this big sword. Not only that, the blades on the body of the sword are quite free and unrestrained, blooming in all directions. It looks like someone used a bunch of daggers and dipped them in 502 glue to make it.

Does this thing really work?

Anyway, Fang Zheng would never use this thing.

"Thank you. I don't know how to repay you."

"Well, I hope you can do me a favor."

"What's the matter?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment.

"As you can see, with Morn City in its current state, I'm afraid I won't be able to respond to your request..."

"Oh, it's not important, I just want to get some information."

"intelligence?"

"Yes, information about fire. Do you know anything about fire?"

"……this……"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly and he became hesitant. At this moment, the blind girl next to him spoke.

"Father, speaking of fire, wasn't there a village that was struck by fire before?"

"Ah, um..."

"oh?"

Hearing this answer, Fang Zheng's eyes flashed.

"I'd like to hear more about it."
