Chapter 206 Apprentice Alchemist
Plague, mutants, skeleton soldiers...
All undead creatures? !
In addition to the skeleton soldiers in it, which can be hammered from countless angles, the other two items contain too much information.
You must know that before this, no one, including Saint Charlene, could link the plague in Misha County with the words undead creatures, and those who appeared later Although mutants are often jokingly called 'zombie' and 'zombie' by players, they have obvious vital signs. Their hearts are still beating and their breathing has not stopped. They are completely different from the 'undead creatures' within the scope of common sense. Therefore, Until now, people still regard those mutants as crazy and irrational humans.
Although it has been confirmed that their appearance is indeed related to the plague, no one has considered it from the perspective of 'undead creatures', so that until now, there are still several magicians, alchemists, and pharmacists outside Mida City. A small group composed of priests, priests and scholars are studying how to cure those mutants. Several of them are 'official' teams. Thor, Tyro and Mortan all support them. The Paladins even went out of their way to Two mutants were captured alive and given to them for treatment experiments.
But, if those mutants are already undead creatures and not human beings...
"It's useless, it definitely can't be cured." Luna's whole body was tilted at this moment. He sat on the chair and muttered as if he was dreaming: "They are dead... Although the body is still alive, there is no way to be 'treated'... Hmm..."
Yuchen Qing Sighing, she took out a priest's robe from her luggage (she had kept several sets of low-level equipment with her since the last divine descending incident) and put it on Luna, then turned back to Mo Tan and whispered: "This If this is true, then we should let Sister Saint know as soon as possible..."
"Yes, but there are still many things we don't understand," Mo Tan shrugged, then felt helpless. He glanced at Luna, who had begun to snore softly: "Let's ask after she wakes up. It seems that this disaster in Misha County is no longer just a 'natural disaster'."
Yu Chen pursed his lips, and after a while he looked at Mo Tan again: "Is it really... a man-made disaster?"
The latter nodded silently, he knew that Yu Chen had already figured it out, so There was no further explanation.
There was no sign at all. The large-scale plague that swept through the entire county within a short period of time after the outbreak was itself very strange. Coupled with the short-lived appearance of many skeleton soldiers in the northern part of the epidemic area not long ago, until now these are 'The Bound of Innocence' is a mutant world that is not very common sense...
Combined with Luna's words just now, the conclusion is already obvious.
[Although the cause is completely unclear, this disaster is definitely man-made! But...】
Mo Tan tapped the wooden table next to him and thought with furrowed brows. Although he had accumulated a lot of knowledge about Misha County during this period, he still couldn't think of what if there really was a certain person. As for the 'culprit', what are his motives and purposes?
Whether it is the plague that has been raging to this day, or the mutants who are aimless and only know about killing, they all give him a very 'casual' feeling.
It was easy to find this land, it was easy to spread fear and disaster, and it was easy to applaud amidst countless pains and lamentations. It had nothing to do with hatred, purpose or belief, it was just out of interest.
Although he didn’t know why he thought this way, Mo Tan had such a feeling.
【Too bad...】
He scratched his hair, then looked back at Luna, who had just been helped to the bed by Yu Chen. As a result, she opened her eyes in a daze at the same time.
"Well, I seem to have fallen asleep accidentally. The quilt... the quilt..." The girl casually pulled the quilt next to her and wrapped herself up, then nodded to Mo Tan like a silkworm baby. : "What else do you want to know?"
The latter smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Let's talk about the rest after you wake up."
"It doesn't matter, I quite like talking. "Luna yawned listlessly, then sat up slowly wrapped in a quilt, took out a small incense burner from the pocket with space magic and put it next to her pillow: "It doesn't matter if you sleep less, huh? , how to activate it...I remember it was...eh..."
She poked at the small incense burner for a while, and finally succeeded in making the thing smoke.
Mo Tan and Yu Chen looked curiously at the wisps of light blue smoke filling the room. They soon felt refreshed, and a [Awakening] buff appeared on their bodies. The specific effect was every day. Restores 1% of physical energy in five seconds.
Luna, who retracted under the quilt and leaned on the bedside, also became energetic, and then... yawned sleepily and said: "A little thing made of Xingshen pollen, when you don't have time to sleep. Very useful, um, so what else do you want to know? "
"Okay, I also want to know how you determined that this plague and those mutants are undead creatures." Mo Tan was not pretentious, so he continued to look at the man in front of him who was gradually getting energetic. The alchemist girl spread her hands and said: "There are also their sources. Head, if you know or have any clues..."
Luna shook her head: "I don't know what the source you are talking about is, and there are no clues. As for confirming that those diseases and monsters are undead creatures ...Well, alchemists should all be Yes... Some villagers came to me some time ago and said they were sick, so I took some blood samples and tested them a little, and then I found out. He blinked and then looked at Yu Chen next to him.
The latter immediately shook his head and whispered: "It's impossible. There were many alchemists studying the plague in Hofer City at that time, but nothing was analyzed. However, the saint sister said that the highest level among them was also She’s just an intermediate alchemist, maybe she’s not strong enough?”
“But Teacher Tony said she was a trainee alchemist.” Mo Tan scratched her hair and asked Luna curiously, “Did he say that wrong? "
The girl shook her head and confirmed slowly with her ethereal voice: "Tony didn't lie. I am indeed a trainee alchemist. Well, this is the assessment of the Alchemist Guild in Mida City. I've been here before... It seemed like about two years ago, or three years?"
"Okay, I roughly understand the situation, but that's not important," Mo Tan interrupted Luna. Memories, and then continued to ask: "I heard that although many people in the village where you lived were infected with the plague, no one became a mutant before the attack. Did you do something?"< br>
This question is very important, because Erbozi Village is the only gathering place that Mo Tan knows so far where no infected people have transformed after the emergence of mutants. This is obviously not a coincidence, but The only difference between this small village and other places is that they have Luna, a special 'trainee alchemist'.
If it is indeed the credit of the girl in front of him, then it means that 'alienation' can be prevented. Even if it is just a superficial and unreliable prevention, it is precious enough in the current situation.
"Do you mean by 'alienation' the process of those infected with the plague turning into monsters?" Luna asked leisurely, and after receiving Mo Tan's affirmative answer, she nodded: “I did do some simple treatments for them, Although there is no way to completely dispel those diseases, it can at least have some inhibitory effect...probably..." Although the girl in front of her looked unreliable in both her demeanor and tone, Mo Tan immediately I believed Luna's words without reservation.
Yu Chen, who had the same view, asked Luna in surprise: "What should we do?"
"How?" Luna tilted her head. He tilted his head, and then said softly after pondering...or being in a daze for a moment: "This plague is not just an ordinary disease. That's it. It has many interesting properties at the same time. Some can prevent wounds from healing, some can cause the human body to rot from the inside, and some can cause painful hallucinations. The symptoms are different for everyone, so It is difficult to make any targeted treatment, well, probably..."
Next, Luna explained her findings to the two of them in more detail. This was a big challenge for Mo Tan and Yu Chen, but the main reason was not because it was difficult for them to understand what Luna often said. There are various professional terms that appear. After all, one is a doctor and the other is a psychiatrist. They are both relatively receptive in this regard, so there is no communication barrier. , but...
Luna's sleepy voice and unhurried tone were really too drowsy, even though Mo Tan and Yu Chen were in a 'sleep' state in a sense, But when listening to this girl talking, she still couldn't help but feel sleepy. Fortunately, the small incense burner kept smoking, otherwise the two of them might have suffered a little more.
“The ointment made from grinding fresh fat and snake sludge can effectively treat abscesses and ulcers, but it can aggravate other diseases, such as internal corruption of limbs.” Luna held her hand The small incense burner said lightly in her ethereal voice: "The dissolved gas of narcissus can dissipate a lot of gases." Malignant hallucinations, but it is a fatal catalyst for several other plague symptoms. Even adding highly neutralizing and very expensive star crystal powder to it is useless, because it will catalyze magic power, and it will affect all types of diseases. They all contain a certain amount of magic power, so they might cause death directly, um, but I don’t have the money to buy them. Star crystal powder, so I can’t be sure...but in theory it should be right.”
Yu Chen’s eyes seemed to have started to spin, and they had only been mechanical since a few minutes ago. After Luna finished speaking, she continued to nod in a daze: "Hmm... um... so it's this Like..."
"Okay, I probably understand." Mo Tan patted his cheek and sighed extremely tiredly: "In short, it is because the nature of this plague is complicated and both. It has multiple malignant symptoms, so conventional treatments are useless, right?”
Luna nodded.
"Then the question comes." Mo Tan looked solemn and asked Luna in a deep voice: "Which company has the best excavator technology?"
Luna was stunned for a moment, and her eyes were filled with mist. His light blue eyes were full of doubts: "What are you digging for? "
[Sure enough, he is not a player~]
Mo Tan casually found a reason for his mistake just now, and then shrugged: "Nothing, can you tell me a little about those mutants? ?”
Luna did not continue to ask about the excavator. She just flipped through the notes in her hand and said while reading: "I haven't studied those things very much, but I have probably figured out how they are 'alienated'. It's out. The main problem is..."
"Um, I'm sorry~" Yu Chen suddenly raised his little hand and interrupted with a yawn: "Can you make it simpler?"
Luna said "Oh", then lowered her head and turned over two pages of the note, and whispered: "The conclusion is that when the bodies of people infected with the plague weaken to a certain extent, the diseases in their bodies will appear every once in a while. There is a high chance that it will be converted into another form of existence, and after the conversion is completed, it will become a mutant."
Mo Tan and Yu Chen looked at each other, Luna's 'conclusion' was almost exactly the same as their previous analysis. .
The two of them are now certain that this girl is definitely not simple. Although they are not very clear about the level of 'trainee alchemist', this level obviously has nothing to do with Luna. She has already done It has reached a point where even dozens of mid-level alchemists combined cannot complete the 'great achievement'.
"Miss Luna." Mo Tan breathed out softly, then looked at the girl on the bed who had wrapped herself in the shape of a silkworm, and asked seriously: "How did you do that?"
< br>It is not important to discover that the essence of plague and mutants are undead creatures...
It is also not important to figure out the various properties of diseases and their complexity...
In a short The reason for the "alienation" of the infected was analyzed within a short period of time, but it is still not important...
What is important is how she controlled the epidemic and successfully made hundreds of people in the small village become mutants. None of them naturally turned into monsters before the attack.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Luna did not answer immediately like before, but lowered her eyes and whispered: "My method is quite special, and others cannot use it. If you want to rely on this If you can save most people, then my answer will definitely disappoint you."
At this moment, there was no confusion in her tone.
Mo Tan and Yu Chen looked at each other, then nodded at the same time.
"Okay." Luna sighed softly, looked up at the two of them, the haziness in her eyes had faded away, and her light blue eyes were filled with calmness and wisdom that was completely inconsistent with her age: " You are believers in God, right?”
Mo Tan nodded slightly: “Obviously.”
Yuchen also shrank his neck and whispered: "Well, I am the favored one of the goddess of dawn."
"Swear to your god..."
"What? ","Huh?"
"Swear to keep my secret no matter what, so I will tell you..."
