"What the hell did you hear?"
Gru frowned.
He always gets very nervous when talking about his daughter. He is a very calm man, but everyone has their own weaknesses.
There is no doubt that the girl who was alive and kicking a few months ago is the biggest weakness of the man in front of him.
"I heard nothing. I only heard that she was ill."
Marvin said simply: "I just came to inquire about her condition."
Gru hesitated, and finally began, "She's very sick."
"The doctor said she might not be able to last for a few weeks. We went to the pastor of the Silver Church, but those low-level pastors couldn't do anything."
"The only way is to go to the senior pastor to pray. But it's very expensive. We borrowed a lot of money, but it's still a little short."
Grew was candid. Although the double-knife mask in front of him gave him a strong threat, he still told the truth.
"Did her illness come on suddenly?" asked Marvin.
"Yes." A trace of surprise flashed in Gru's eyes: "Could it be that Mr. Double Sword Mask, you are still a doctor?"
"Not to mention. It's just that when I was traveling abroad, I saw some examples."
It was easy for Marvin to panic, with a well-informed demeanor that even Gru, a veteran adventurer, couldn't see through.
"What? Have you ever seen this disease?"
Gru suddenly became agitated.
His daughter is his only concern. He lost his wife in his early years, and he regards his daughter as his sweetheart, and basically tries his best to satisfy her requirements.
This has also formed his daughter's spoiled and willful temperament. She hangs out with some messy people outside all day long. Gru is also very helpless about this. He is an adventurer. It is normal to be away from home all year round. The only thing he can do , is to keep making money to meet her material needs.
Now that she is sick, Gru's heart is pierced like a knife. Only those who have experienced this feeling of being a father will understand.
"Of course. That's why I asked."
The old god Ma Wen said: "In her current situation, is her complexion pale and yellow, but her eyes are particularly radiant? Are there any black spots on her neck that resemble acne marks?"
Gru was shocked on the spot!
"You, how do you know!?" His tone began to tremble.
"Mr. Gru, you are lucky. Not many people in Feinan know about this stuff."
Marvin's tone was calm: "Please don't be shocked by what I'm going to tell you next."
"Your daughter is not sick."
"It's the plague."
"In Feinan's history, it erupted three times. Each time, several surrounding cities were destroyed."
"[Black sweet poison], I don't know if you have heard of this name."
Gru stood there, dumbfounded.
…
Black sweet poison is not a kind of poison, but a kind of plague, which originated from the god of plague.
This evil god wanted to get his hands on Feinan Continent a long time ago. His ideal world is full of dead places, full of terror and plague.
He spread the plague of black sweet poison everywhere. Everyone who was infected by the plague would have a sallow and thin face, but his eyes were very tall.
At this time, they will have hallucinations, thinking that they have come to heaven.
Their appetites will surge, and the nutrients they eat nourish the black spots on their necks.
It is these black spots that are constantly draining their vitality.
Black sweet poison is very scary. Every outbreak will take many lives.
The last outbreak of black sweet poison was in the era of elves. At that time, the status of human beings was very low, and the quality of life was already very poor. When black sweet poison broke out, almost one tenth of the human population was infected with this horrible plague.
The power of the plague god has greatly increased.
At this time, a saint descended. With the solution to black sweet poison, he rescued human beings from suffering.
The saint's last name was Brando, and no one knew his first name.
Some say he is the incarnation of the Elf God, while others say he is the incarnation of the Wizard God.
In short, the saint disappeared from Feinan's world after healed the black sweet poison. The term black sweet poison also retreated behind the scenes.
People gradually forgot about this terrible plague.
But Marvin remembered it clearly.
The outbreak of black sweet poison is also a symptom of the chaotic era. Although because of the legendary wizards, the source of the plague was quickly eliminated.
But this is just a small temptation of the God of Plague.
Feinan's historical records clearly stated that the saint who was born during the last outbreak of black sweet poison was actually not the incarnation of a god, but a master proficient in herbalism and potions. He was a mortal.
And it was not the medicine brought by the holy man that really eliminated the black sweet poison, but the God of Plague, who accidentally spread the plague to the forest in the west when he was spreading the plague. The wrath of the ancient gods of nature.
Naturally, the ancient god broke out, and with his powerful divine power, it was more than enough to beat a weak plague god.
The poor God of Plague was almost dismantled by the Ancient God of Nature before he had time to develop his territory. Fortunately, he had the help of evil gods such as the God of Fear and the God of Destruction, otherwise he would be sealed by the Ancient God of Nature and played in a bottle up.
Since then, the God of Plague has been careful to be a man... No, he has become a god.
It took a long time for him to develop his power in the secondary plane, and then he slowly regained his strength.
And after the ancient gods of the first and second generations, such as the ancient gods of nature and elves, gradually became less active, he began to be eager to try.
This time the black sweet poison invaded Feinan, it was just a small experiment.
All the gods understand that the gods are attacking the magic pool of the universe. Whether it is a god with strong divine power or a god with weak divine power, they all know that this is an opportunity.
An excellent opportunity to develop one's own believers and strengthen oneself.
The Cosmic Magic Pool is a great boon for both human beings and wizards.
But for the gods, it is a huge shackle. After Lance, the wizard god, left, they had long wanted to break up.
Everything is just a lack of an opportunity.
…
"So, isn't my daughter hopeless?"
Gru's lips turned white.
He was covered in cold sweat after hearing Ma Wen's introduction to Hei Gan Du!
His own daughter was actually infected with the plague!
This matter is really terrible, not to mention whether my daughter's life can be saved, if others find out, I'm afraid they will be burned to death by the frightened people!
right!
Although there are wizards in this world, in the face of the plague, human beings are still as ignorant as the middle ages on earth.
People who got the plague were directly regarded as dead!
What spreads faster than the plague is fear!
In a sense, plague and panic are indeed a perfect match. Unfortunately, the God of Plague and the God of Fear are both male and cannot be combined. They can only get together occasionally to have sex.
"I wouldn't be sitting here if your daughter was hopeless."
Marvin said lightly: "Actually, I know a way to save your daughter."
"What? What you said is true?" Gru suddenly saw hope.
There's no need for Mask of Two Swords to deceive him.
Since he said so, he should have some confidence, and a ray of light appeared in Gru's heart.
"Don't worry, the dormant period of black sweet poison is very long. Only at the moment of death - people who have black sweet poison will explode themselves. At this time, the plague will start to spread in the air. We still have time."
"The most important thing right now is to regain the White River Valley."
"Because the way to save your daughter is in Baron Marvin's castle."
Marvin got up and patted Gru on the shoulder: "Relax, being so nervous will not be good for fighting tomorrow."
Gru smiled hoarsely: "Really... thank you very much... although I don't know what your relationship is with Baron Marvin."
"But for this mission, our Thorn team will definitely go all out."
…
In the evening of the next day, the rested people quietly assembled in the woods on both sides of the sentry post.
As previously arranged, the guard team was with the Thorn Squad, and the Lynx was with the other three solo adventurers.
"Let's put out the bait."
Anna said lightly.
Gru on the side nodded.
A woman behind him suddenly crouched down and began to mutter a spell.
Soon, she turned into a beautiful sika deer!
The sika deer jumped twice, suddenly rushed across the road, and then rushed back into the woods.
Ho ho ho!
When the six mutated coyotes who had nothing to do saw the sika deer, they immediately salivated and rushed towards it together.
