Chapter 38 The Plague
"What did you hear about?"
Gru frowned.
Every time he talks about his daughter, he is always very nervous. He is a very calm man, but everyone has his own weaknesses.
There is no doubt that the girl who was still alive a few months ago was the biggest weakness of the man in front of him.
"I didn't hear anything. I just heard that she was sick."
Marvin simply said: "I'm just here to ask about her condition."
Gru hesitated for a moment and finally began to say, "She is very ill."
"The doctor said she might not be able to hold on for a few weeks, so we went to find the pastors of the Silver Church, but those low-level pastors could do nothing."
"The only way is to go to the senior pastor to pray for blessings. But it's very expensive. We borrowed a lot of money, but it's still a little bit worse."
Gru was very frank. Although the double-sword mask in front of him threatened him with a strong threat, he still told the truth.
"Did her illness suddenly occur?" asked Marvin.
"Yes." A hint of surprise flashed in Gru's eyes: "Mr. Double-Blade Mask, are you still a doctor?"
"It's not a question. It's just that I've seen some examples when I was traveling."
Marvin was panicking and was able to tell the truth, even Gru, who was a veteran adventurer, could not see through it.
"What? Have you seen this disease?"
Gru suddenly became excited.
His daughter was his only concern. He lost his wife in his early years and regarded her as a treasure. His request for her was basically to try his best to satisfy her.
This also developed his daughter's spoiled and willful nature, and she was stumbling around with some messy people outside all day long. Gru was also helpless about this. He was an adventurer and it was normal to be away from home all year round. The only thing he could do was to make money constantly to meet her material needs.
Now that she is sick, Gru's heart is cut off. Only those who have experienced it will understand the feeling of being a father.
"Of course. That's why I ask."
Old God Ma Wen said: "Her current situation is, is her complexion yellow, but her eyes are particularly radiant? Are there any black spots similar to acne marks on her neck?"
Gru was shocked on the spot!
"How did you know?" His tone began to tremble.
"Mr. Gru, you are lucky. There are not many people in Fernan knowing this thing."
Marvin's tone was calm: "Please don't be shocked what I want to tell you next."
"Your daughter is not sick."
"It's a plague."
"In Fernan's history, it erupted three times. Each time, it destroyed several surrounding cities."
"【Black Gly Poison】, I wonder if you have heard of this name."
Gru stood there, stunned.
...
Black Glycyrrhizoma is not a kind of plague, but a kind of plague, which originates from the god of plague.
This evil god wanted to get involved in the continent of Fernan long ago. His ideal world was full of deaths, full of horror and plague.
He spreads plagues like black and sweet poison everywhere. Everyone infected by the plague will have pale face and thin skin, but their eyes are very stunning.
At this time, they will have hallucinations that they have come to heaven.
Their appetite will increase sharply, and the nutrition they eat will nourish the black spots on their necks.
It is these black spots that are constantly draining their vitality.
The black sweet poison is very terrifying. Every time it breaks out, it will take away many lives.
The last time the outbreak of the Black Glycoside was in the Elf Era, when humans had a very low status and their quality of life was already very poor. When the outbreak of the Black Glycoside, almost one-tenth of humans were infected with this terrifying plague.
The power of the God of Plague has increased greatly.
At this time, a saint came. He rescued humans from dire straits with a solution to the black and sweet poison.
The last name of the saint was Brando, and no one knew his name.
Some people say that he is the incarnation of the ancient elf god, while others say that he is the incarnation of the wizard god.
In short, after the saint cured the black sweet poison, he disappeared into the world of Fernan. The word black sweet poison also retreated behind the scenes.
People gradually forgot about this terrifying plague.
But Marvin remembers it very clearly.
The outbreak of the black and sweet poison is also a sign of the chaotic era. Although the source of this plague was quickly extinguished due to the legendary wizards.
But this is just a small temptation by the God of Plague.
Fernan records clearly that the saint born during the last outbreak of the black and sweet poison was actually not the incarnation of the gods, but a master who was proficient in herbal medicine and potions. He was a mortal.
The one who truly eliminated the black and sweet poison was not the medicine brought by the saint, but the plague god accidentally spread the plague into the Western forests when it was spreading the plague. This caused the anger of the natural ancient god.
Naturally, the ancient god broke out. With powerful divine power, he was more than enough to beat a plague god with weak divine power.
Before the poor God of Plague had time to develop his territory, he was almost dispersed by the ancient gods of nature. Fortunately, there were evil gods such as the god of fear, the god of destruction, etc., otherwise he would be sealed in a bottle and played with it by the ancient god of nature.
Since then, the God of Plague has been careful to be a human being... No, he has become a god.
It took him a long time to develop his own power in the secondary plane before he slowly recovered his strength.
But after the natural ancient gods, the elves ancient gods and other ancient gods gradually became less active, he began to try.
This time the black and sweet poison invaded Fernam was just a small experiment.
All gods understand that the gods attacked the universe's demon pool. Whether it is a god with powerful 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 universe's magic pool is a huge boon for humans and wizards.
But for the gods, it was a huge shackle. After the wizard god Lance left, they had long wanted to break it.
Everything is just a lack of opportunity.
...
"So, isn't my daughter helpless?"
Gru's lips were white.
After hearing Ma Wen’s introduction to Hei Gan Du, he was sweating all over!
His own daughter was infected with the plague!
This matter is really terrible. Not to mention whether the daughter's life can be saved, if others know, they may be burned to death by the scared people!
right!
Although there are wizards in this world, in the face of plague, humans are still as ignorant as the medieval times on Earth.
Those who suffer from the plague are directly regarded as dead!
What spreads faster than the plague is fear!
In a sense, plague and panic are indeed perfect matches. Unfortunately, the god of plague and the god of fear are both men and cannot combine, so they can only make up for each other and make up for the basics occasionally.
“If your daughter is helpless, I won’t sit here.”
Marvin said lightly: "In fact, I know a way to save your daughter."
"What? Are you saying true?" Gru immediately saw hope.
There is no need to deceive him with the double sword mask.
Since he said that, he should be confident that a glimmer of hope 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 get black sweet poison will explode themselves, and this time the plague begins to spread in the air. We still have time."
"The most important thing right now is to recover the White River Valley."
"Because the way to save your daughter is in Baron Marvin's castle."
Marvin stood up and patted Gru on the shoulder: "Relax, it's not conducive to fighting tomorrow."
Gru smiled silly: "Really...thank you very much...although I don't know what your relationship is with Baron Marvin."
"But this mission, our Thorn Team will definitely do its best."
...
The next evening, the rest of the crowd quietly gathered in the woods on both sides of the guard post.
As arranged before, the Guards and Thorns all the way, the Bobcats and three other solo adventurers all the way.
"Release the bait."
Anna said lightly.
Gru nodded on the side.
A woman behind him suddenly lowered her body and began to murmur and recite mantras.
Soon, she turned into a beautiful sika deer!
The sika deer jumped a few times, suddenly rushed past the avenue, and then rushed back into the woods.
Roar roar roar!
When the six mutant coyotes who were idle were drooling when they saw the sika deer, they even rushed over.
Chapter completed!
