Aaron saw a Lich appear in the cave, and immediately stopped. Wanting to see what this Lich was going to do, he hid outside the entrance of the cave, using the shadow at the entrance to hide his figure.
Lich and several Cult of the Damned members over there did not notice the arrival of Aaron. Lich slowly drifted to the long table and said to several Cult of the Damned acolytes, "How is the progress?"
"The effect is not very good. The plague takes too long to take effect. We are trying to find ways to improve it." A Cult of the Damned Cultists lowered his head and said respectfully to Lich, "We are trying to enhance the effect of the plague, but..."
"But what?" Lich originally lacked emotion when he spoke. This sentence could be said to be full of ice. However, he did not criticize these acolytes. Instead, he continued, "Our work is related to the master's plan. If you have any problems, just tell us directly. If you delay the master's affairs, we will all face the master's wrath."
"Yes, Master Winterchill." The acolyte lowered his head, perhaps because he heard the other party mention the so-called master, and his words became a little trembling, "We tried to enhance the effect of Source of the Plague, but the processed food has very obvious traces of death magic. In this case..."
"In this case, those idiots won't eat it, right?" Lich, known as Lord Winterchill, already understood what the acolyte meant and sighed, "Concealment is the most important thing. You should find a way to eliminate traces of magic power as much as possible while enhancing the effect of the plague."
"Yes, Lord Winterchill." Several acolytes lowered their heads, responded, and then continued to work on their experiments.
"Okay, you continue to experiment here, and I will get you food." Lich gave these acolytes a few more words, and then slowly drifted out.
Seeing Lich leave, the acolytes who pretended to be serious about their work couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Their work was not going well, and it was not possible for the other party to make an immediate breakthrough with just a few words of concern. However, in order to avoid the anger of this guy with terrifying magic power, the acolytes had to pretend to be serious about their work.
However, just when the acolytes thought that Lich was about to come here as usual, they suddenly heard Lich scream, "Who are you?!"
Immediately, the acolytes felt a flash of light in the cave, a slightly dazzling light flashed by. The acolytes only had time to hear half a shrill wail from Lich, and then there was no more sound.
Several acolytes couldn't help but look at each other, with frightened expressions on their faces mostly covered by hoods. One acolyte braved himself and walked towards the exit, saying, "Master Winterchill? How are you?"
However, no one responded. The cave was very dark and the acolyte could not see clearly. He had to take two steps forward and saw a tattered robe on the ground. There were a few chains between the robes and a pool of ashes under the robe. Seeing this scene, the acolyte felt a chill in his heart, and an idea came to his mind that he could not believe. " Master Winterchill is probably dead, right?"
"Pour it for me!" Just when the acolyte realized something was wrong and was about to turn around and go back, he heard the sound of wind blowing behind his head, and then he felt a pain and fell to the ground without knowing where he was.
"Hey, what's going on..." The other acolytes were also looking here. Although they couldn't see the specific situation due to the light, they could at least see that a figure jumped out and knocked the acolyte over. The few acolytes who sensed something was wrong immediately took out their staffs and prepared to cast spells to deal with this person.
That person was of course none other than Aaron. He just saw Lich trying to leave, so he shot Holy Light to kill this guy before he could react. He wanted to go out directly to see what these acolytes were doing, but found that an acolyte had come up to him. He simply waited for the other acolytes to come to the door and deal with it before appearing in front of the other acolytes.
Seeing that the acolytes were trying to cast spells, Aaron was determined to kill them before they finished casting the spells. However, he also wanted to stay alive and ask what these guys wanted to do. As soon as he hesitated, one of the acolytes threw a magic arrow containing the power of death at Aaron. Aaron hurriedly raised his shield to block the opponent's attack.
Seeing that these acolytes had begun to attack, Aaron could no longer hesitate. He simply raised his shield and rushed towards the acolytes, stamping his right foot on the ground, and the surging Holy Light Immediately appeared from the feet of the acolytes, knocking these acolytes away and hitting the ceiling of the cave. This blow also interrupted the spellcasting of these people, causing these acolytes to suffer the backlash of the spell. Although they did not die, they still felt uncomfortable.
While these acolytes were still on the ground before they could get up, Aaron gave them a sword one by one, leaving only one frightened acolyte who asked this guy, "I'll ask you a question, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand." The remaining acolyte was trembling uncontrollably. He didn't see clearly the scene where his companion was killed just now. He knew in his heart that the person in front of him was too powerful. After all, even Lich was killed, and he couldn't do anything except cooperate with the other party.
"What was the name of that Lich just now?"
"Reki·Winterchill."
"What are you doing here?"
"Research ways to use the Source of the Plague given by the master to spread the plague throughout Lordaeron."
"I started researching so early..."
"What did you say?" The acolyte asked fearfully because he was in a panic and failed to hear what Aaron was saying to himself.
"It doesn't matter to you, how many people are there in total among you?"
"That's all. You killed everyone except me."
Aaron asked the acolyte a few more questions, and finally understood the basic situation of these guys. According to the acolyte, they joined Cult of the Damned about half a year ago, and this sect only appeared in Lordaeron for more than a year. The early development was not very smooth, but in the past half year or so, it has suddenly gained the support of some nobles.
After listening to the acolyte, Aaron nodded. It seems that Cult of the Damned has not had time to develop, but if the acolyte in front of him did not lie, Cult of the Damned's recent development is a bit worthy of vigilance.
It's just that there are more things that a little acolyte can't understand. Aaron asked him who the leader of Cult of the Damned was. This guy hesitated and couldn't explain.
"By the way, where is the Source of the Plague you are talking about?" Aaron knew that there was no way to learn more about Cult of the Damned from the other party, so he changed the topic and wanted to know the research results of these people.
