"Although a naughty but very smart child, you have accepted a good student Kurian."

After Fairy Dragon Yara left, Emerald Dragon Queen Ysera and Blue Dragon King Azoregos had a pretty good opinion of her. As a tutor, Kurian smiled bitterly. His student was indeed extraordinary. His talent, but his strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge were a headache. After peeking at his own information, he began to research elemental gems in private, and successfully fused the three elements without conflicting with each other. , but the cost was that her laboratory exploded at least a dozen times.

"Kurian, you'd better temporarily cancel Yara's authorization to enter your laboratory during this period." After praising Ysera, she also changed the topic and said: "The next series of research work cannot let her If you break in casually, if something goes wrong, it will bring disaster to the entire Capital of Light."

Blue Dragon Great Sage Kurian nodded solemnly: "I understand, Your Majesty the Dragon Queen."

Kurian nodded: "According to our research, this new type of plague is similar in nature to toxins. After death, the infected people will be resurrected directly in the unconscious state of the undead and attack anyone who has not been infected indiscriminately." , and the resurrected undead at this time can be sure that they have no self-awareness, and are just acting loyal to their instincts like wild beasts."

Ysera frowned when she heard that. After she woke up, bad news came one after another from the Holy City and the Capital of Radiance. Compared with the White Dragon King who woke up but was still thousands of miles away, The undead that have been raging in the western part of the continent for a long time are a more troublesome existence. They appear to be more terrifying, but in fact they can only allow some cultists to carry out kidnapping activities. At most, they can only summon some demons to cause terrible damage in a certain area. With a certain influence on the master of pain, the undead army actually launched a war to conquer cities and territories, and also successfully counterattacked and suppressed the crusade army sent by a country and transformed all the war dead into undead.

It is precisely because of this huge achievement that the undead army in the western part of the continent completely stole the limelight from the demons in the Twisting Nether for a time, which shocked the entire continent. Not only did various countries strengthen the control of undead magic, but even the Holy Vatican They have secretly strengthened the vigilance of various parishes.

In addition to the powerful military strength shown by the undead army, what is even more troublesome is the plague spread by the undead!

The plague sample sent back by the blue dragon mage Maisar, who assisted the countries in the western part of the continent to fight against the undead in the Holy City, was extremely shocking. This was a brand-new plague that had never been heard before, or it could be better described as a form of existing plague. The spread of necromancy spells can resurrect people infected with the plague directly in an undead state after death, eliminating the need for the necromancer to transform the corpse. What is even more terrifying is that now, whether in the secular country or in the land of brilliance, None of the giant dragons in the capital have been able to find an effective way to cure this plague. They can only watch the people infected by the plague slowly weaken until they die and then wake up soon and start attacking the living. So far, the blue dragon They only found ways to use low temperature to put people infected with the plague into a state of suspended animation to relieve the onset of symptoms.

According to the statistics of the Holy City, the Holy City has now accommodated more than 100,000 patients who are kept in a state of hypothermic suspended animation in ice coffins. As the number of people increases, the Magic resources of the Holy City begin to become tense. Although the undead seemed to be planning something and temporarily stopped their offensive, because of the raging plague, the Holy City did not dare to easily coordinate the coalition forces of various countries to launch a counterattack. As long as a method to cure the plague was not found, the undead army was like a natural barrier that made it impossible for them to do anything. If we attack rashly, more soldiers may die from the plague than from the battle.

"Your Majesty Ysera, although this plague has not shown the worst signs of airborne transmission so far, the speed of spread through water sources, grains and undead creatures itself is also very alarming, and the most terrifying thing about the plague is that it not only It makes living people die and become undead, and the ground they touch will quickly wither and die. According to the analysis of the areas occupied by the undead by the druids, the soil in those areas has been completely necrotic and is estimated to be completely necrotic in hundreds of years. There will be no grass growing, and the plague is spreading further to contaminate more land. Even if the druids are purifying it now, it will take at least twenty years to restore the land in the contaminated area. "

As an emerald green dragon, Ysera's heart surges with anger. As the incarnation of nature, what the green dragon hates most is any damage to the balance of nature. Of course, green dragons will not be unkind to mortals cutting down forests and hunting animals. It is reasonable to stop it. After all, the development of any civilization is inseparable from the demand for nature, but the green dragons do not like anyone to make excessive demands on nature. This will inevitably lead to the weakening of nature's self-repair ability and even Completely destroyed, and without the support of nature, mortals will not be able to survive.

The undead are not welcomed by the living, after all, death is taboo for everyone! While analyzing their concepts, the Holy City and the Holy See also believe that the so-called 'immortal' undead souls should not exist in this world. The alternation of life and death is the rule of this world. Even stupid people understand that if there are truly immortal people, Then over time, the world will inevitably collapse completely due to excessive population.

It’s just that there is no so-called eternity in this world, and the Emerald Dragon Queen, as a transcendent, also knows very well that even the feared island of the dead, Aesolos, is home to the undead who have awakened from death in the eyes of the world. Mages are not actually undead, they just continue to 'live' in this world in another way. Sooner or later, when the obsession of the immortal undead disappears, it will be the time for them to return to death, even if It is a soul materialization spell invented by the former undead mentor Kermotnil Aesolos. In the end, it cannot truly make a person immortal. Otherwise, how could this ritual spell be completely lost now

The undead on the Island of the Dead are not interested in power. They are more like some researchers and scholars who are full of curiosity about 'death', precisely because they have another way of 'living' in the world rather than truly breaking through. The boundary between life and death has been broken, so the Emerald Green Dragons do not want to eliminate them in the name of justice. After all, the undead have rarely appeared on the mainland for a long time, and occasionally they only come to the mainland to collect materials, causing some big talk. Don’t talk about big or small things.

Compared to the Holy See's complete aversion to the undead, in fact the Holy City and the Capital of Light are more tolerant, of course only to a little extent┉┉

But this time is different. The undead army that suddenly appeared in the western part of the continent not only caused destruction among the living, but also continued to erode and harm nature and the world itself like a plague. If it is not dealt with quickly, If they are completely eradicated, then wherever the undead army goes, the earth will turn into lifeless tombs. This kind of thing must not be allowed to continue to happen.

Both the Capital of Glory and the Holy Capital are researching the undead plague day and night. However, the more they study, the more terrifying they become about this unknown plague. The plague can not only corrupt humans, elves, dwarves and other races into undead, but also become undead. Even animals and plants can transform into undead creatures. In Blue Dragon's experiment, a white mouse that was fed the plague died and resurrected after a few hours, and the resurrected white mouse also began to behave like undead creatures. Crazy attack on the same kind, and killed several white mice in the cage and turned them into undead. After being injected with the plague, several plants withered and died, but one plant withered and sprouted again, but it grew strangely. It has extremely aggressive carnivorous plants and also has the ability to spread plague.

With the research, a blue dragon mage even believed that even giant dragons might not be immune to these plagues, just because no giant dragon dared to experiment on himself, let alone experiment on the remains of those who died of his own race, so it was not possible It's uncertain whether this idea is correct, but the odds are pretty high that the undead plague has demonstrated both destructiveness and contagiousness.

"Although it is unbelievable, its existence is a fact." Ysera couldn't help but be stunned: "Is it true that there is no way to restrain this plague? We also know that no matter what kind of plague it is, if If the patient only has a mild infection, he can still rely on his own ability to heal himself. "

"We have experimented with Your Majesty the Dragon Queen. After diluting the plague, we conducted the experiment on monkeys. Although a small amount of plague made the monkeys die much slower, in the end the plague always defeated the infected."

Blue Dragon King Azoregos also added at this time.

"Light element┉┉" Ysera looked a little complicated: "It reacts to overhead elements, but what about dark elements?"

< Let the plague become more active. >

Hearing this bad news, Ysera could only sigh helplessly: "Then how about using light elements to purify the land contaminated by the plague?"

"Then I leave this matter to you, Lord Azoregos."

The control of spiritual consciousness!

Ysera's eyes flashed with a strange luster, but the Dragon Queen did not say anything and continued to listen to the Blue Dragon King's explanation. (~^~)
