After the 'Crimson Battlefront' soldiers conducted their investigation, they indeed found problems in the other villages besides Coffleton.
After killing the zombies in the villages, only women and children were left alive...
These creatures were truly evil.
They invaded the human body through the water source, occupying men's minds and controlling their lives!
They parasitized women's bodies, using them as a springboard to continue harming other men. Countless families had their lives ruined by this sudden disaster.
Fortunately, the young man, Array Denkuts, came to report the situation. Otherwise, the entire Barielle territory would have become a breeding ground for parasites, a paradise for zombies!
Specifically, because these creatures first invaded men's brains, it caused their bodies and actions to slow down, and their memories to become foggy.
"It seems the young man's testimony was correct. He was lucky to escape without eating anything." Graham said.
"Regarding that, the surviving women said they had prepared boiled water and preserved food to help him escape smoothly." Priscilla pointed out.
"Ah, that's love. Because of childhood love, this young man escaped a disaster. By the way, isn't the matter resolved? Why is the Princess staring at the map?"
"Don't you find it strange, Graham? After the investigation, it was found that only the three villages in the Tenril River basin, including Coffleton, were affected, but only one village was spared?" Priscilla pointed at the map, her red eyes full of wisdom.

"So, Princess believes this village is the hiding place of the culprit?"
"Very likely."
Priscilla examined the map, considering whether the victims were connected by the upstream and downstream connection.
Was the infection placed upstream, causing the downstream villages to suffer?
"Regarding this, I have already carefully investigated!" As she spoke, Yae ran in from the door, casually joining the conversation and drawing a symbol on the map.
"What does this symbol represent?" Graham indicated he didn't understand and signaled the maid not to keep them in suspense.
"This is the symbol of the water mill This area uses a mechanism where timber is cut in the riverside forest and then transported downstream by boat. Originally, I thought the water wheel was used for grinding, but now it seems very suspicious!"
Priscilla smiled slightly, "It is indeed a suitable hiding place for someone with bad intentions."
Yae nodded in agreement.
"So, where should we start the investigation? The water mill manager or the lumber manufacturing representative?" Graham asked.
"Edda Rayfast? I've heard she's a formidable woman who commands ruffians! She might get along well with the lady." Yae smiled playfully. She had conducted a thorough investigation, and the culprit had been identified!
"Well, regardless of whether she gets along with me, the conditions are now met." Priscilla said.
Graham and Yae were stunned, showing confusion.
This woman sometimes said things that were hard to understand but spoke with such confidence that people instinctively believed her.
Perhaps this was the charm of the 'Sun Princess'?
"Maybe there's still some consideration needed, but everything will be clear once we meet her!" she concluded.
Without waiting for Graham and Yae to react, Priscilla moved and pushed open the door.
Halfway through, she stopped, "Graham, why are you still standing there? If you don't keep up with me, your little thoughts will never come true!"
"Understood!" Graham followed her, walking side by side. Priscilla smiled sweetly, and like a beautiful rose, she was enchanting.
Seeing this, Yae pouted and followed them.
If she didn't go, the consequences would be severe...
...
Soon, the three of them got off the dragon carriage and arrived at their destination.
The water mill manager, Edda Rayfast, the name sounded quite impressive.
And Yae said she might get along with Priscilla, so Graham was curious about what kind of beauty she would be.
The result was a huge disappointment.
Glaring at the tongue-sticking Yae, Graham felt like vomiting.
Edda was quite tall, quite plump and had dark skin with stout limbs. She wore a luxurious fur coat and heavy make-up that looks like war paint. The wide coat couldn't even hide her fat belly... In short, she looked like a monster!
He quickly stared at Priscilla's beautiful profile to feel a bit better.
Priscilla is still the prettiest...
That Edda, she's toxic!
Priscilla felt uncomfortable. She liked cute people, and seeing Edda made her feel nauseous at first sight. But her good manners kept her from showing it.
However, she would teach Yae a lesson later. Saying Edda would get along with her was a joke!
To get along with her, the first requirement was to be interesting, and the second was to be good-looking!
Priscilla was a bit of a face-con after all...
