Chapter 321: Tracing the origin of the plague, protection comes first
Archmage Edgar has one head and two heads.
Necromancers, especially the plague branch of the necromancy system, have never had a very good reputation. Every time there is some strange disease, plague, or unexplainable dead people, everyone's first reaction is:
What happened to the plague branch again?
Who was cursed?
Are you testing new magic on living people?
Or did something in the laboratory get outside?
If it weren't for Black Crow Swamp to be really good at fighting, especially in group fights, I would be afraid of being ostracized and would have to score a few extra points.
Here I have to praise Little Gretel. Since he published several papers on infectious diseases and plagues, proved the way plagues spread, and provided standard management practices for P4 laboratories, there are more necromancers.
A weapon for rebuttal.
Those people from the Plague Branch can raise their heads upright and say:
"My laboratory meets the standards! My laboratory management is strict enough! This plague/lesion/death has nothing to do with me!"
Who knows, not even two days of peace, this plague, the shadow of the necromancy plague curse has appeared again!
"Is the news accurate?" he asked the magician who reported him seriously. The messenger nodded heavily:
"Graia told me. She and I have studied in the same mage tower for seven years - the committee member asked her to send a message, saying that our committee members from Black Crow Swamp and Starlight have confirmed the existence of the curse.
Tell us to clean up quickly."
Archmage Edgar expressed his understanding. Since the necromancy review committee has personally seen it, it is certain that the plague originated from a magic curse. He sent someone to send a message, but he was just to arrest a person of sufficient importance. He should be arrested quickly.
Keep the murderer safe, lest it fall into the hands of others and look bad.
Damn it, the Plague Branch had repeatedly issued orders before that it had no laboratory, and if it failed to pass the test, it would suspend research. Who was in the limelight?
He urged the phantom horse to follow the messenger towards the water source. The water sources of the water supply company in the 12 buildings where the plague broke out were already under the control of the parliament. The phantom horse ran without any turning, climbing mountains and treading water.
A straight line was drawn on the map. It didn't take long for the two magic mounts to stop at the edge of a small lake.
"This is where your Excellency, the Commissioner, sensed the curse." The messenger pointed to the lake. Archmage Edgar groaned, got off his horse, walked to the lake and took a look, flipped his hands and muttered a curse in a low voice.
A thin black light fell into the lake water. Soon, the lake water began to boil gently, and a series of bubbles emerged. Archmage Edgar waited patiently for a while before he saw those black and green bubbles slowly gathering, and as he
The gesture moves closer and closer.
Archmage Edgar changed his gesture again. This time, the bubbles condensed and formed a coiled snake, floating on the water waves. Archmage Edgar narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the little snake carefully.
pattern of scales, and after a while, he waved his hand and blew a whistle.
The little snake turned around and swam to the shore. Unfortunately, the grassy lakeshore was not its home field, nor was the dry creek. As the little snake swam, the green scales on its body were reduced one by one, as if scattered on the ground.
Among the grass.
After only walking about a hundred meters, the whole body of the little snake became illusory, as if it were not there. Archmage Edgar snorted and waved it away:
"Still a bit cunning. The source of the plague is still ahead - let's go!"
Although the little snake made of magic could not hold out too far, it had pointed out the direction for them. The two magicians walked up the river ditch and climbed halfway up the mountain. They paid attention to the traces of the water flow and kept throwing magic spells.
Looking for the source of the disease, we quickly found the target in the bushes.
It was a dead beast. After many days, it had become so rotten that it was almost impossible to see its original shape. Archmage Edgar chanted two incantations, waved his hand, and heard a buzzing sound, and a large group of flies came from the bushes.
The bushes began to fly.
The corpse of the beast then stood up. The white bones were fragmented, the carrion was broken, and it built itself into the shape it had been in life. The head turned around aimlessly, and finally lowered its head and dug the soil with its fangs.
"Oh, it turns out to be a wild boar." His Excellency the Archmage nodded. The mystery of why the plague broke out in the city after the wild boar died for so long was also solved: the wild boar did not die in the lake at the water source;
On the mountain, the disease seeds were washed down by the rain. He glanced around casually:
"Go and find all your brothers and sisters!"
He casually shot a black light into the body of the white-bone wild boar. The wild boar turned around twice, changed its direction, and started running towards the top of the mountain ridge. The archmage followed behind leisurely, and still had time to use magic to accelerate it, but
, after climbing over two mountains, my face quickly became ugly:
The wild boar brought them to a water source newly designated by the Department of Public Health to supply the entire city of Nevis!
The wild boar sniffed east and west, moving forward. Soon, a dead mouse was dug up near the water source. After a while, another one, and another. After three or five dead mice appeared,
, Archmage Edgar was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He raised his hand and a strong black light fell:
"Go and find them all!"
The white-bone rats scattered in all directions. The rats were small and flexible, much faster than wild boars. Soon, Archmage Edgar and the Archmage found twenty or thirty dead rats. The two closest to the water source died.
The location is less than ten meters away from the reservoir!
Using magic to test the time of death, the rats died nearly a week earlier than the wild boar. If the disease rushed into the water and polluted the reservoir, the entire city would suffer!
Archmage Edgar cast a spell on the reservoir. The same spell as before on the lakeside fell into the reservoir, but instead of stirring up black and green bubbles, a burst of vibrant light green light appeared. Looking again, the water plants at the bottom of the lake were gently swaying.
, antivirus, filtration, and cleaning are plants specially cultivated by the Order of the God of Nature to purify water bodies.
Even if a few disease seeds enter the reservoir, these plants will be able to eliminate them all.
In the hundreds of water storage tanks at the end, Grete's apprentices change bleach bottles every three days and test the water quality once every three days; the biogas pools in the slums are burning with flames and provide free boiling water all year round. The three lines of defense are connected one by one, guarding
The safety of the citizens of Nevis City.
Fortunately, there are centralized water supply facilities, and fortunately there are precautions in advance... Maybe the curser found that the rats were ineffective, so he changed the target and activated the spell?
Archmage Edgar let out a long breath. He changed his gestures and fired several more spells, which landed on the bone boar and bone rats. Finally, he raised his hand vigorously:
"Go to the source of your curse!"
The wild boars and mice fell to the ground silently and decomposed into white bones. In the bone pile, dozens of broken bones rustled together to form several white-bone crows, which spread their wings and flew up.
