Hearing the full of qi-sighing scolding from the mill, Gao Wen had such a thought flashed through his mind, and then he led the others forward quickly.

The gate of the mill was pushed open, and the sunlight outside suddenly shone into this dim place. Between the bright belt of the sun and the shadow of the straw stack, Knight Byron was lying crookedly, still shouting in anger: "If you are my servant, I will definitely kick your stupid head! You brainless little bastard! Do you want to die! You... Duke?!"

The Byron Knight finally adapted to the sudden light. He turned his head and looked at the gate. A tall figure stood in the bright background. Then the tall figure walked in, followed by three people.

That little mute was the last one to follow in.

"You are quite energetic," Gowan greeted Knight Byron lying in the haystack. "We were still guessing your life or death before, but I didn't expect you to have the energy to curse here and be heard dozens of meters outside."

As he said, he walked forward, but as soon as he was halfway through, he heard Byron shouting loudly: "Sir Duke, don't get close! I'm cursed by the cultist magic! I don't know if this thing will spread!"

Gao Wen frowned. Of course, he could guess and see that the Byron Knight was in a wrong state, otherwise the other party would not have been lying in this place to curse, but it was not until he got a little used to the dim light in the mill that he could see the strange appearance of the middle-aged knight.

A black and green pattern spread along Byron's skin, probably covering most of his body. He could see fine lines on his exposed arms, hands and neck. Some patterns even extended to near his eye sockets, looking like exposed venous blood vessels.

In addition, he could see a lot of trauma on his body, including a swollen half of his face.

Philip Knight gasped: "Damn...what is going on?"

"I found the cultist, but he also found me," Byron pulled the corner of his mouth, but his body was completely stiff. It seemed that the part he could move was left with his head. "The details in the middle are long, and in short, I didn't win... Lord Duke, are you here to investigate the cultist problem? How did you know something happened here?"

"A serf turned into a bomb on the dock, and everything will die," Gao Wen said casually, "and before you can send any news back, we know that something happened here, you lie down and don't move, maybe there will be a rescue."

"Don't waste your time. That cult is very powerful. I can feel that his evil magic is not only corroding my flesh and blood, but also eroding my spirit. I see that you all have seven or eight ghosts now..."

Pitman walked out from behind Gowman and walked towards Byron casually while mocking: "Don't make up for it, your ghosting is just a simple nerve curse because your eyes are swollen."

While speaking, the old druid squatted beside the middle-aged knight and began to check the spread of the curse power. Gao Wen, who was standing behind, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it: "Can you still save me, right?"

"No matter how wildly everything dies, it is born from the druid, especially the curse spell. You can almost find the corresponding druid exorcism technique," Pittman said while taking out incense and ritual wood sculptures from his carry-on package. "To be honest, I'm afraid I'm not a match for the person who released this spell, but it doesn't necessarily seem that the person who attacked him looked down on you very much, Mr. Knight."

Byron was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his eyes were vicissitudes, and he sighed softly: "That guy probably started to look down on me when he knocked me away..."

It seems like this, he must be fine.

After confirming that the curse was resolved and that Pittman had the ability to control the spread of corrosion, Gao Wen squatted down beside Byron: "What is the situation in Tanzan Town now? The town has martial law and we can't touch it at all."

"We have to start from three days ago," Knight Byron took a deep breath and said slowly, "Before that, everything was normal. Nothing happened in the town. Only Viscount Andrew's purchase of a batch of slaves was considered news. But three days ago, martial law suddenly came out in the castle, saying that cultists were found to be mixed into the town, and everyone was temporarily prohibited from entering and leaving the town. You should know that at that time I had already started to contact the second batch of slave traders, and was contacting a batch of merchant ships. The martial law ban would cause great trouble, so I went to the castle and prepared to find Viscount Andrew to issue a license order. This was completely in accordance with the rules and was also normal... but I was unlucky and found clues of the cultists."

"The martial law was indeed issued in the castle, and cultists were indeed mixed in the town, but in fact the whole thing was a conspiracy. The cult was in the castle and personally controlled Viscount Andrew to issue the martial law. When I walked into the castle hall, I felt a dirty breath. When I talked to Viscount Andrew, I heard a secret whisper mixed with him. I realized that the situation was not good, so I prepared to retreat just like a dignified knight. As soon as I retreated, I was discovered by a guy in black robe. The cult probably had not completed the control of the entire castle and Viscount Andrew, so I was carelessly put in, and of course he could not allow me to leave again..."

Gao Wen ignored the shameless parts of the upright knight and frowned and asked, "How did you escape?"

According to Pitman's judgment before, he knew that the person who had been involved in Tanzan Town was most likely a four to five-level deceased churchman, and this level had reached the middle level. Although the Byron Knight is the peak of the third-level knight, and it can even be said that he has been partially exposed to the power of the intermediate profession, he is still a low-level knight. Of course, he is a master in such a small countryside, but the gap is too big for the previous intermediate cult.

It may be understandable that he could temporarily save his life and escape in the encounter, but he was already deeply trapped in the castle at that time, and the castle had become half a nest for cultists. In this case, how he escaped from the castle is difficult to understand.

Pittman had already begun the exorcism ceremony. He used incense and druid spells to swear the dirty power in the Byron Knight's body, and at the same time pretending to be pious and whispered to the natural gods. Byron's face obviously improved. He put in more strength and continued: "When fighting, I was hit by the magic of the cultists and fell into a cave behind the castle. There was a pool in the cave, so I saved my life. I found that the pool was connected to an underground passage: it turned out that there was a tunnel system underground in Tanzan Town. The cultist probably thought I had fallen to death, or maybe he was busy doing other things, so he did not pursue it. I drilled underground for a whole day and night before I found the right way... The exit was next to this mill."

Gao Wen and others looked at each other, and Amber couldn't help but mutter: "This is really a fate... good luck is like a fake one."

"There are many tunnel systems underground in the south, most of which were built by me, such as the passage network under the Cecil Territory. However, I don't know the underground tunnel in Tanzan Town," Gao Wen frowned, "... Maybe it was built by people after my first death."

Knight Philip pondered: "If this tunnel exists, maybe we could sneak into Viscount Andrew's castle along it?"

"It seems like a good idea," Gao Wen nodded, then looked at Byron: "What's next? What's going on with this kid?"

The mute child who brought everyone over stood quietly near the haystack, looking at this side with curiosity and a hint of alertness. Byron looked at the child with a complicated look and sighed softly: "At that time, I found that the curse on my body had already occurred. I originally wanted to go back to the territory to report the situation, but I was worried that the curse would spread, so I was going to find a place to die by myself... In fact, there was no way to do it without waiting for death. At that time, my actions were already a problem and I couldn't get to the territory at all. But I didn't expect that when I was in a daze, I actually walked into this mill and was saved by this child.

"He is a mute, most likely a slave to the boss of a chamber of commerce in the city. Because of the inexplicable martial law, he was trapped outside the town. I lay here for two days, and he went to find me food and water, otherwise I would probably not be able to resist this time."

After Pittman and the Gods of Nature were blind, he looked up at Byron: "The first thing we hear when we come here is to curse people."

"There is no way, the curse on my body has begun to lose control," the middle-aged knight pulled the corner of his mouth and showed an ugly smile. "I could barely suppress it at the beginning, but then I felt more and more that it would infect others, but the child didn't understand this at all... I drove him several times and explained to him what a curse was. Once I wanted to climb out by myself and jump into the river to die, but as soon as I arrived at the river, I remembered that Cecil was leading the downstream, but when he was hesitating by the river, he was discovered by the child. He pulled me back."

"It's not obvious that he is quite strong." Pittman completed the evil-exorcist ceremony. While packing up his ritual props, he turned his head to look at the little mute, and said casually, "Look at the thin and small one."

After saying that, the old druid stood up and nodded slightly to Gao Wen: "There is no problem with the curse."

Gao Wen looked at Byron: "Can you still stand up and lead the way?"

"Although I really want to lie down again," Knight Byron moved his arm, "but it seems that the most important thing is to solve the threat of cultists at this time. No problem, I feel that I have recovered by 50% or 60%.

Gao Wen nodded: "Okay, you can rest for a while and we can use the underground passage you found to sneak into the town."

"But there is another problem," Amber suddenly spoke, pointing to the mute child standing next to the haystack, "What should I do with this child?"

"I definitely can't take him in," Gao Wen frowned, "but just keep it..."

He thought for a moment, feeling that he could not just put the mute child aside, so he came to the little boy and squatted down.

The latter was so scared that he took a step back, but he still raised his head and looked at Gao Wen with his eyes curled up.

"We're going to do something," Gao Wen looked into the child's eyes and said slowly, "Can you wait here for three days? If we come back within three days, you follow us. If we don't come back, you walk south along the river to a camp next to the bank, and look for people there for shelter."

Then he took out a talisman from his arms and stuffed it into the child's hand: "Hold this and they will take yours."
