The 390th chapter plague (3)
Taylan sniffed and said in disgust: "There is indeed a smell of death here." I don't know if other magicians have this feeling, but in the eyes of Taylan, who possesses natural magic, there is indeed a strong breath of death here. However, the so-called aura of death means nothing, it is just a feeling.
Danica looked around and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
Arranged Xiaolei to wait in the carriage, Danica and Tyran walked towards a town that was already covered by plague not far away. The medical level of this world, especially for civilians, can be said to be almost non-existent, so the only way to control the plague is to control its spread. As for those who have been infected with the plague, let’s fend for themselves.
When approaching the town, Danica saw many soldiers with serious faces patrolling. They looked a little nervous and even a little scared. There was nothing they could do. These soldiers who had experienced strict training were not afraid of fighting on the battlefield, but in the face of an invisible and dangerous plague, they had no choice. It would be good if they could still perform tasks in this case.
Danica and Tyran bypassed the patrol soldiers—it was not difficult for a fourth-level pro and walked into the town.
Only when he truly stepped into this land destroyed by the plague, Danica felt the so-called "scent of death", which may be the smell, the scene in front of him, or the mental fluctuations of any creature, or the sum of many aspects. In short, death is everywhere here, which Danica can clearly feel.
Judging from the scale, the town should have lived in nearly 10,000 people, and it is already a big town. But now, there is no one in the bustling streets, no voices, and no insects. The surroundings are silent, with only the rustling sounds made by Danica and Tyran stepping on the ground.
A completely quiet environment will give people a special feeling of anxiety. Although it will not affect the mind, Danica's mood will also become a little irritable in this environment.
After a simple walk around the town, Danica and Tyran walked to a bungalow. She gently pushed open the door that had fallen into a thin layer of dust. The door opened with a sour creaking sound.
However, Danica did not walk in, but stood at the door with a serious face.
Taylan looked inside over Danica's shoulders. It was an ordinary farmhouse living room, nothing special. She asked softly, "What's wrong?" Although Taylan had deliberately lowered her voice, her voice still seemed particularly abrupt in this almost completely silent environment.
"Did you hear the door just now?" Danica asked.
It seemed that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, and Taylan said in a less heavy tone: "I heard it, it feels like a horror story."
Danica looked back at Tyran and said angrily: "I'm not talking about this. This town was infected with the plague just a dozen days ago. Can this wooden door be rotten like this in more than ten days?" As she said that, she gently stroked the door with her fingernails, without exerting much force, but she left a clear mark on the door panel.
"You mean..."
Danica sighed and said, "This plague killed all life, human, animal, including those little bugs, and even... the lives of items." When she first entered the town, Danica was surprised that the plague actually killed almost all life, including those insects with extremely tenacious vitality. You should know that insects and mice are often spreaders of the plague. They were all killed by the plague in just a few days!
How terrible is this plague?
Danica walked in. There was nothing good about the living room. There was a table, a few small wooden stools, a cabinet that looked a little old, with heavy patina, and I don’t know how many generations it has been used. The furniture in rural areas is made of solid materials and can be used for a long time, but now, the surface of this cabinet is loose and worn.
There is a room on both sides of the living room, a storage room on the left, with various farm tools and some grains piled up, and the room on the right is the residence of this family, but now there are only corpses left there.
There were four corpses in the room, two adults and two children. The children were lying on the bed, tightly wrapped in a shabby quilt. One of the adults was lying on the table and the other curled in the corner. All the corpses had a hideous face, and the blood was bleeding from their seven orifices. It seemed that they had experienced considerable pain before their death. Danica noticed that the woman curled in the corner had broken her nails, and there were obvious scratches on the wall.
Danica closed her eyes and stretched out her right hand. As the mental power was stimulated, a ring on her right index finger emitted a faint light, and some hazy images appeared in the room, but they quickly dissipated.
Danica opened her eyes and said helplessly: "The soul is broken."
Tailan also began to use natural magic. She threw down a seed and a seedling began to stretch out, but soon, the seedlings seemed to be infected and quickly withered and turned yellow.
"The situation is a little troublesome." Tailan said, looking at the dead seedling, "There is a powerful, evil and domineering force that spreads here, it should be..."
...
"It's a fel!" Elizabeth said with a serious expression, "This disaster is not just a simple outbreak of a plague, but a fel pollution!"
At least in name, the human race in the central region is also a believer in the Holy See. As the saint of the Holy See, Elizabeth has to go over and see if there is a plague here? Moreover, after this natural disaster occurs, it is a good opportunity to spread the Holy See.
As soon as he approached the town infected by the plague, Elizabeth clearly felt an extremely disgusting aura, which was the aura of evil. Although there are still some warlocks in this world, they just hide around like mice, which is not enough to worry about it. But now the situation is different. Elizabeth doesn't know how powerful the mastermind behind the scenes is, maybe a mid-level or even a high-level warlock. Elizabeth can no longer cope with this situation, and the power of the Holy See in the central region, especially in the Gemini Kingdom, is really limited. As for mobilizing power from the Holy See, it may stimulate Danica's sensitive heart, which will seriously affect the relationship between the two parties. There is no way, Elizabeth can only tell Danica about the matter, and believe that she doesn't want her kingdom to be destroyed by evil energy!
Danica had just returned to the Twin Cities, and Elizabeth came over and told her about her discovery in the plague-infected area.
Danica sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, her face gloomy and solemn, but she simply said: "Okay, I get it, I will deal with it, thank you."
Elizabeth took a deep breath and said, "Danika, I know you won't want people from the Holy See to enter the Gemini Kingdom, but evil energy is a very dangerous pollution, and I hope you can treat it with caution."
Danica nodded, trying to use a gentle expression, and said, "I know, I know the danger of evil. Please believe that I value the Gemini Kingdom more than anyone else, and I will never allow anyone to destroy her."
Elizabeth nodded and said, "Okay... Then I will say goodbye. If you need any help, come and find me at any time." After all, this is not the sphere of influence of the Holy See, and Elizabeth can do very limitedly. No matter how anxious she is, she can only rely on Danica.
Danica nodded and said, "I will, thank you."
"Nothing." Elizabeth waved her hand and stood up and left.
After sending Elizabeth away, Danica came to the study on the second floor, where someone was waiting for her.
Danica sat behind the table and asked, "How is it?"
Maines sat upright on the sofa, shook his head, and said, "Nothing was found."
"Not noticed?!" Danica's tone became very cold, and she was obviously quite dissatisfied with this answer.
Danica scolded Meines in a high tone and made her feel uncomfortable. She took a few deep breaths and suppressed the discomfort and said, "I really didn't find anything. I've looked it up carefully. The evil energy in the plague area seems to have emerged out of thin air and there is no source at all."
After realizing that there was a ferocious energy behind this plague, Danica immediately assigned Maines to investigate and find the source of such huge damage, but she did not expect that after she returned to the Twins, she found nothing to find the result!
"How long will it take?" Danica asked in that cold tone.
Meins stood up, paced back and forth irritably, and said, "This is not a matter of time, I can't find it at all! I lived in that damn town for five days and used various methods to explore it. No discovery was that evil and powerful evil energy seemed to emerge out of thin air..." Meins leaned against the wall and said with a wry smile: "Sorry, I may really not be able to provide any help this time, I... really have no choice." For Meins, saying such words of admit defeat is also a torment, but there is no way, and she dares not continue to waste time. If she continues to waste it, if there is another outbreak...
Danica closed her eyes and after a while, she said, "Okay, I will think of other ways, but don't give up on you."
"I know this," said Maines. "I will continue to investigate the plague outbreak area. I don't believe that guy can leave no trace!"
Danica nodded and said, "Okay, you go and have a rest first. You have been quite tired these days."
"Okay." Maines responded, turned and left.
After Maines left, Danica did not move, sitting there blankly like a sculpture. I don’t know how long it took, but after she came to her senses, it was completely dark the day after she came to her senses.
Danica called Aishe over and said, "I'll inform you and let Hait come here."
"Ah?" Ai Xue was stunned for a moment before answering quickly, "Yes, I'll make arrangements now." Danica's condition scared Ai Xue, with bloodshot eyes, haggard face, and hoarse voice. After hearing the order, she subconsciously agreed. After walking out of the study, she realized: Haite? Is Haite from the Spiritual Academy? Is it so difficult that she needs to come over? Haite is now the pillar of the Spiritual Academy, and there is a fierce look at Corice next to her. It is very dangerous to let her leave the Spiritual Academy. Danica should also know the risks... Ai Xue shook her head and threw away these messy thoughts. She was definitely not as good as the master's judgment of the situation. Since she made such a decision, there must be a reason why she had to do so.
The Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce has always maintained a secret contact information with the Spiritual Academy. After returning to his residence, Ai Xue immediately activated this contact information and passed the master's order to Hait.
After dinner, seeing Danica did not come out, Phyllis came to the study. At that time, Danica was still sitting in that position, her eyes were dull and unconscious, as if her whole soul had been pulled away.
Phyllis hurried over and asked, "Danika, Danika, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah? Oh, Phyllis." Danica recovered and said, "When did you come in?"
Phyllis said worriedly: "What's wrong? It's very tricky?"
Danica smiled bitterly, leaned against the chair and said, "You should have heard that this plague is not simple. It is not a simple plague, but a pollutant of evil energy. Things... are indeed a bit troublesome."
Phyllis said worriedly: "With such a powerful destructive power, there must be a very powerful warlock standing behind it. Do you want me to go back and ask someone to come and help me take a look." There are many high-level professionals in the Elf King Court. If you ask any of them to come and investigate, you will definitely find the mastermind behind it.
Danica shook her head and said, "Let me try again. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask for help from others."
Phyllis frowned slightly. She didn't understand the meaning of maintaining this pride at this time, but since Danica said so, she didn't have to say much.
