Ep. 3: Maurice and allies investigate a quarantined village plagued by zombies and a giant monster.

While Charlot rules Hortensia, the Pope acts as his guardian, enabling Orthodox Church control. Georg tasks Maurice with examining a quarantined village inhabited by human-like monsters. Maurice brings Alfred and Marius, where they encounter former bounty hunter Deflotte Danois and zombie villagers. Deflotte initially distrusts the group until Maurice clarifies the corpses are not the original residents. Deflotte explains his father, the head priest, led prayers until becoming the sole survivor after the Pope quarantined the area to contain a plague. Upon discovering the priest’s diary, Ecclesiastical Knights threaten to burn the village. A giant monster attacks and kills the knights. Marius utilizes a flower provided by Deflotte to restrain the creature, allowing the group to defeat it. Deflotte subsequently joins them to investigate whether Georg betrayed them to the Church.
