"Are those human diseases the 'evil forces'?" Kasa asked.
Magna shook her head and said, "No, I said, that's just the source, much less than the evil force I sensed. You know, although we hate diseases, diseases are part of nature, just like human birth, aging, illness and death are all normal phenomena. So, even if this disease is very serious, the evil I can sense is still very limited. If it weren't for the help of the elemental perception props, it would be difficult for me to detect them."
"What disease is that?" Li Tianrui asked.
Magna said: "It is a kind of black spot disease. This disease broke out in the early years. Usually, once it breaks out, everyone in the town will die. Black spots will appear on the body of the sick person, and then the person will feel weak all over, and the body muscles will slowly die. This disease is very fierce and usually kills the patient within a week. There is basically no way to treat it. Even magic cannot cure these people. It can only extend their survival time by one or two days.
The small village we went to only had a few dying people left, and soon the entire village would be wiped out."
"A week? Will those people have black water oozing out of their bodies?" Li Tianrui asked.
"Black water? The original type of black spot disease wouldn't have such symptoms. You ask this. Did you encounter something?" An Lin asked.
"Please follow me." Li Tianrui brought the two elves to the place where Baron Bocas's body was burned. Along the way, he told them what happened this morning.
Magna said in front of the pile of ashes: "That's the feeling! The powerful evil force has not completely dissipated."
"I must purify immediately." Without waiting for Li Tianrui's consent, Magna released a ball of light, which floated above the ashes of the corpse and became extremely dazzling. The light lasted for about five minutes before slowly dissipating. Magna said, "I'm sorry, I have to act in time. You don't have a shield on you. If this evil power is not dispelled immediately, it is likely to cause harm to you."
Li Tianrui just felt that the light had no lethality to people, so he quietly waited for the spell to end. He said, "It's okay. Can you explain what's going on?"
An Lin said: "It seems that my guess is correct."
"What guess?" Li Tianrui asked.
"We have previously speculated that an alchemist used the black spot disease to create an artificial disease. They used magic to transform the disease and used magic to demonize the disease!" Seeing that everyone didn't understand, An Lin explained: "I don't know if you understand, but most diseases are caused by some small creatures that are invisible to the naked eye."
"I know, we call these little things bacteria." Li Tianrui said.
"Very good, then you should understand what I am talking about." An Lin explained, "You must have heard of some experiments where some alchemists can use potions to transform ordinary beasts into magical beasts, right
Now there is an alchemist who has done something similar, and he has transformed the little creature that causes black spot into a magical beast with magical powers.”
Bacteria monster? Li Tianrui had never thought that such a thing would happen. An Lin's words were beyond his imagination.
"According to what you said before, I guess this little monster should have several new characteristics. Its lethality to humans is much stronger. It only takes a shorter time to kill a person, and it can turn the corpse into black water. I believe this black water is not a good thing, and it may even be a way to spread it. After you burned his corpse, Magna still had such a strong feeling, which shows that the survival ability of these little monsters has also become much stronger. I even think that it is possible that the burning did not completely kill them, and some of them may drift away with the smoke." When An Lin said this, his brows were furrowed.
Li Tianrui's face turned pale: "How did the black spot disease spread originally?"
"Are you talking about how to make a new person sick?" Magna thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but according to the records I have read, someone once visited the gate of a village where someone was sick, and not long after that he also became sick."
"Damn it! Then it could be spread through the air." Li Tianrui looked up at the sky. There was some wind today, and the smoke from the burning corpse was blown out of the yard, which should cover a large area of the city.
Magna sighed and said, "We activated the formation outside the elven community and carried shields to isolate toxins to prevent this from happening. But the human city..."
Li Tianrui walked back and forth a few steps and asked, "How can we disinfect this place?"
Magna said: "Your method of dealing with the room is correct, but the key is to cleanse it with positive energy. Simply burning it will not solve the problem."
Li Tianrui said to the two elves: "I have a few things I would like to ask for your help."
Magna said, "You tell me, this is a big deal. The demonic plague is a terrible thing. If it is not handled properly, the continent's population may be reduced by half. We will try our best to help."
Li Tianrui said: "First, please teach us the magic of isolating the toxin shield. We don't know whether we are infected with this disease, but I think this isolation is two-way, right? Even if I get sick, it can prevent the disease in my body from spreading outwards, right?"
"Okay." Magna agreed straightforwardly, "This magic is not difficult, anyone with a low level of skill can use it."
Li Tianrui said to Kasa, "Call all our current mages and magic apprentices here. Everyone should learn this magic. As many as can be learned, as many as can be learned."
After Kasa took the order and left, Li Tianrui said, "The second thing is, after we find out the basic situation, I hope you can send two elves to Arano Town and Alvita Town to deliver two letters for me. I want to tell my companions about these things. By the way, your two fellow tribesmen, Maya and Dining, are also guests in Arano Town.
I have to prevent the disease from spreading from this city, and I also hope to be able to cure it, so I need the army and experts.
I can’t guarantee that my troops will remain calm and under my control after learning that they are sick. I can’t be sure that if I send someone out, he won’t already be carrying the disease and spread it to other places.”
"That's no problem." An Lin said, "I'll arrange for a few elf rangers to deliver the letter for you."
"One last thing. I hope you can help me find several other 'evil forces' in the city. I guess they should be corpses like Bocas. I think the person who made this plan would not arrange only one source of infection!"
