Chapter 376 True Expert
A few days passed since Angus started coming to the quarantine zone. Unexpectedly, Angus built a simple lab just beside the graveyard crater. After collecting a few samples from the corpse, Angus begins to research the cure.
Despite the unusual location of his lab, nobody dares to disrupt or comnt about it. Since Angus imprisoned Count Stillshot in the middle of the quarantine zone and released his mistake to the public, no one dared to disturb this ruthless young master.
Angus may use the power and authority from Jayna as the fourth princess. However, his ruthless act still instills fear in everyone, especially the religious groups in the quarantine zone.
After Count Stillshot public humiliation and imprisonnt, every religious group tried to find out Angus's identity. After knowing Angus's true identity, they decide to make less contact with him.
They are afraid that Angus may find fault and blow it up like the recent Temple of Death incident. Unlike the big and wealthy religious group Temple of Death, so religious groups may not survive to pay the compensation if they sohow offend Angus.
Fortunately, Angus decides to stay in the crater graveyard and has less contact with anyone except the first day he cos toward the quarantine zone. Currently, Angus is inside his tent lab studying so of the corpses and the plague.
At the sa ti, not far from Angus's tent, Jayna and Anna are doing their training to kill ti. Angus managed to apply runes in so parts of the area so it would filtrate the air and make them breathable in this area.
Hence, they could do their activity without getting bothered by the stinky sll in the air. Even if Angus could withstand the sll, he would still feel uncomfortable to keep breathing in this slly air.
Moreover, his upbringing as a high noble makes him reluctant to keep breathing this perated air. As Jayna and Anna keep doing his training, a cart full of human corpses cos closer to their area.
"Urgh.. I still can't believe how they can stay in this place." said one of the knights that pushed the cart.
"Hush.. Pay attention to your words. They are not people we can't offend." said the other knight.
"Alright.. Alright.." replied the previous knight.
At the sa ti, a woman wearing highly enchanted armor stays silent beside them. The woman itself is none other than Anny, the sixth-grade combatant of the Karum religion group.
Everyone could see they were from the Karum religious group from their clothes and armor emblem.
As they arrive at the graveyard crater, "Halt! We need to check the corpse first." said one of the royal guards nearby.
The Karum's knight follows their instruction without protest as it is normal procedure. Since Angus ca here, he tasked the royal guard to stop the corpse cart and call him to inspect the corpse before letting them dump it into the crater.
After a mont, Angus cos out from his lab tent with dirty clothes, unlike an aristocrat. Combined with a disheveled appearance that seems like not having a proper sleep during the past few days, Angus looks more like a low-class citizen than a high noble.
Ignoring the Karum's knight look, Angus begins to inspect every corpse in the cart with his tired eyes. Then, he begins to point out so of the corpses for the Royal Guards to bring to his lab.
While waiting for the Royal Guard to bring the corpse, Angus stays still and thinks absent-mindedly on the spot. This is a normal occurrence and habit of Angus after inspecting the new coming corpses. Seeing this, Anny couldn't help but be interested in this young master.
During the past few days, they have already t a few tis since Anny always accompanies the Karum knights to drop off the corpse into the crater. Normally, this is not one of Anny's jobs.
However, since Angus is staying near the crater graveyard, all the religious groups couldn't help but send their highest knight rank to do this work to avoid any mishap and clash with Angus's group.
At first, Anny thought Angus was so noble who overestimates himself like the other arrogant noble. However, she finds out that he is pretty different from the rumor.
Since their first eting, Angus never glanced at her despite being quite famous as the sixth-grade knight of the Karum religious group. At first, she thought it was his arrogance as noble that led to this.
On the contrary, she finds that Angus completely disregards her presence because he seems to be very busy researching this plague. Anny herself already knows that Angus is quite a genius researcher from a few of his achievents despite his age.
However, she thought it was only an exaggerated matter. But, looking at Angus's way of doing and all the runes laid on the surrounding area, she finds that Angus is genuine and not just a noble scum who uses an underhanded thod to gain title and prestige.
Furthermore, as a full-fledged sixth-grade combatant, she could find that Angus is strong. Despite his horrible current appearance and tired expression, she could still feel the sa power in his body as the first ti she t him.
Moreover, her instinct also told her that she needed to use all her strength and resources to defeat him. If it is the instinct of the ordinary combatant, she may disregard it. But, she is a full-fledged sixth-grade combatant and most of the ti, her instinct is accurate.
As she couldn't contain her curiosity, "Young master Angus, did you find anything?" asked Anny.
Waking up from his thought, "Hmm.. You are from the Karum group, right?" asked Angus back.
"Yes, is there sothing wrong?" asked Anny.
"Well, nothing concrete yet. But, could you please call your priest leader? No, it is better to call everyone a priest leader." said Angus seriously.
Looking at Angus's seriousness, Anny knows that this young master must find sothing.
"Alright, I will inform everyone. However, as you know, everyone is quite busy at this mont. So, it may take so ti." replied Anny.
"Sure, no problem. I also need to prepare myself." said Angus.
A few hours later, all the priest leaders gather at one of Angus's tents. All of them are accompanied by their strongest knight and waiting for Angus' arrival in silence. Not long after that, Angus entered the tent.
"Sorry, everyone, I need to prepare sothing first." said Angus.
"No problem, young master Angus. It is already an honor to be able to et you." said a priest leader from the Zion religious group.
Everyone in the tent imdiately looks at the Zion high priest, who is blatantly bootlicking Angus. Inside the room, there are four priest leaders. Two of them are from big organizations like the Temple of Death, Karum group, and Afir religion group.
Only the Zion religion group following the Lesser God of mountain is a dium-sized organization. Temple of Death follows the Lady God of Death, Karum follows the God of Vitality and wellness, and Afir follows the God of Water and Ocean.
Hence, it is quite normal for the Zion group, a dium-sized religious group, to bootlicking Angus, a high noble with a lot of prestige in the Heart Kingdom.
Ignoring the bootlicking from the Zion priest, "Alright, I call every one of you here to discuss the plague." said Angus.
"I see. Does young master Angus manage to find the cure?" asked the high priest of the Afir group.
"Nope, it will take so more ti to find the cure." replied Angus.
"Then, why do you call us here? Young master Angus, we the religious group may have a great healing art, but we are not experts in extensive dical knowledge." said the priest leader from the Karum group.
"Well, truthfully, I also didn't have any extensive dical knowledge. I only know so basic knowledge about dical and human biology." said Angus.
Hearing this truth, everyone couldn't help but be confused and didn't know what to say.
'Did I misjudge him? However, I feel he is a really genuine expert like those scholars.' thought Anny.
"Although I only have so basic knowledge about dical stuff, my real expertise is in the spells. I could say that in the research center of the Heart Kingdom, only a few people can beat in terms of spell knowledge." said Angus.
"Young master Angus, I am sorry I didn't quite get your aning." said the woman priest leader of the Temple of Death.
While hearing this question, Angus kept looking at all the priest's expressions.
"Good.. It seems none of you is the one that spread this curse." said Angus.
"Curse?!!" exclaid everyone.
"Yeah, at first glance, this plague is like so kind of unknown disease. However, after a few days of studying all the corpses from different tis of death. I found that this plague is too unique and strong. Sohow, this plague can keep mutating for a short ti."
"It is like the plague itself empowered by sothing. This kind of characteristic is similar to the curse." explained Angus.
