Cheese found Heather in the basement of the double story building. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the basement of this building is not a cellar used by ordinary people to pile up sundries or store food, but a private prison that has been specially transformed. Even the access to the basement has to be opened through a mechanism hidden in a bookshelf. This made the mage have to suspect the previous master''s hobby of this building. However, no matter who the former owner of the building was, after the outbreak of the plague, he left the town with all his property as soon as possible, and the building was taken over by the royal order and became a prison for Heather and the Knights hammer who followed her back to Zhuoluo.

    According to the law, Heather, as the Knight Commander of Lord liehammer, the first real Lord of Cang Lion Kingdom, naturally no one dares to do anything rude to her. So cheese didn''t worry about Heather''s safety at the beginning. In his opinion, the most people in the royal order were to find a place to put the female Knight under house arrest. They might even have to meet Heather''s personal needs in addition to being unable to move freely, so as to ensure that Lord hammer would not be furious when he heard about it in the future.

    However, when the mage found the knight, Heather was not in good condition. No, maybe it''s too bad to describe it. Her healthy body shrank because of her illness. Even Heather''s golden hair lost its luster like a withered grass stalk. Some small black spots could be seen on the skin of the knight''s clothes. Cheese knows what that means, of course.

    "Are you infected?" Without scruple, he squatted down and lifted up the female Knight Commander curled up on the ground. The mage''s face was unbelievable. You know, before the two split up in Valley City, cheese can guarantee that Heather is free of any plague virus, and from the letter after the knight, she should not have met the attack of rat man on the way to Zhuoluo town. So why was Heather infected with the plague?

    "Well (laughter... " Hearing the familiar voice, Heather looked up and saw the man walking into the dungeon. She was surprised at the appearance of cheese, but just as she was excited to say something to the mage, there was no discernible voice in her throat.

    Cheese frowned, aphasia, as he called it. This loss of language ability is one of the signs of the plague transforming the human body. The inability to speak means that Heather''s vocal organ is changing from human to rat. In this process, her throat is like a fetus in her mother''s belly, and it has to change slowly, so although the mouse man who has completed the transformation can use the human language after training, the human in the process of pathological changes can not. This internal change precedes the change in appearance, which is why Heather seems quite normal now. She has not been infected with the plague for a long time. According to the data collected by cheese in the quarantine area, people who develop aphasia but have no obvious variation will never be infected for more than five days.

    "Fortunately, the infection time is still very short, should be able to reverse the mutation." After a simple examination of Heather''s physical condition, cheese determined that his current knowledge of the plague could cure the diseases of the knight lady. He could even reverse catalyze the viruses to restore Heather''s body and the mutated parts.

    Although he lost his language ability, Heather''s hearing was obviously normal. Hearing that the mage said that she could cure her plague, the matron grabbed the cheese clothes excitedly and pointed to the inside of the dungeon with her other hand. Heather''s room is at the entrance of the secret door. That is to say, when cheese came to the dungeon, he found the female Knight Commander at the first time. The mage had not explored other parts of the dungeon. Now it''s easy to understand from Heather''s body language that the knight lady meant that the other hammers who came back with her should be locked in the depths of this dungeon.

    "Are they infected, too?" Asked the mage.

    With a strong nod, Heather gave the cheese a positive answer, and the anxious expression on her face became stronger and stronger. It seems to be urging the mage to leave her alone and to check the condition of other knights in the dungeon.

    Cheese frowned more tightly, and he gently comforted Heather, then got up and walked towards the depths of the dungeon. The basement is much bigger than he thought. Even the mage guessed that it was larger than the ground. What''s going on? A mansion with a small dungeon can also be understood as the special needs of the host, but judging from this posture, the basement seems to be far larger than the scope should be required. Although the top of the basement is lit by candles at every other part of the basement, as the corridor extends, those candles are unable to provide lighting in such a poorly ventilated space.

    Unconsciously, cheese has used the night vision ability, and in some way temporarily stopped the body''s need for breathing. The basement in this space contains enough gas for a human to breathe. In the process of deepening, cheese also saw other hammer knights. Although they were somewhat aristocratic in the outside world, it was obvious that their identities were not enough to save their lives as Heather did in front of the master of the basement. Those knights were hung on the hook on the wall like winter bacon. Judging from the state of their corpses, they were infected by rat man plague before they were alive, and had different degrees of variation. Their bodies did not decay in this anoxic environment, which allowed cheese to examine the cause of their death.Strangely, the cause of death of these Knights seems not to be trauma or plague itself. They seem to have died of some kind of potion unknown to the mage, and the formula of this potion is still changing according to the traces on different knights. There was a strange sense of repression in cheese''s heart. Seeing the Knights'' bodies being ripped from hooks, he realized that the people who killed them were probably doing the same thing as him - finding the antidote to the plague. However, different from the mage, the other side obviously did not receive the in-depth training of the gray tower, so his understanding of the plague was only at the level of ordinary diseases. No matter who studied these people, he did not realize that the so-called Rat Man plague was a curse that could spread continuously.

    At the end of the underground corridor, cheese found a separate room, which is absolutely impossible for normal human beings to reach. Even if running at full speed, ordinary people can never go so deep into anaerobic zone without breathing. The door of the room was not locked. The mage carefully pushed open the thin wooden door, and then a common looking study appeared in front of him. On the table in the room was an open notebook, which seemed to record something. Although we have to be close to the notes at night, we need to be able to see them at night. After reading the contents of this note, the mage felt the cool feeling pouring out from behind. He seems to have caught a corner of the truth of the plague. But it''s just a glimpse of the whole thing. Cheese also felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
