At first, the residents in the sewers fell ill one after another. Living in a dark corner, they naturally couldn't afford a good doctor. The initial symptoms of vomiting and chills were quite similar to those of a cold. Naturally, these miserable people also I just thought I could get over it if I endured it.
At this time, Duckweed was already planning to leave the Granahan sewer where they had been hiding for many years, but several uncles and aunts who had always taken good care of them fell ill, which delayed their departure.
People who returned from the ground discovered that the same disease was spreading in the city of Granahan. Regardless of the wealthy nobles or magicians, the disease was treated equally. Doctors began to travel busily between manors and city-states, and pharmacists were busy arranging high-priced medicines for the dignitaries. Potion, but no matter how expensive it is or how sophisticated the potion is, it cannot relieve their pain.
The residents in the sewers are on the verge of collapse. Coughs are coming one after another, and the stench of vomit is filling the sky. Everyone knows that the vomit may carry deadly germs, but their weak bodies can no longer support them to stand up and clean.
At first, Layla could still rely on some connections to obtain potions from the ground. As time went by, the number of Granahan's illnesses increased sharply, and she could no longer see any pharmacists or doctors. The shadow of death permeated the sewers. With their fangs exposed, one living creature after another died in silence.
"It sounds like it is indeed a natural disaster?" Lu Yu said, touching his chin.
"I would indeed think so if there weren't those magicians who wrapped themselves tightly in magic barriers appearing in the sewers."
At the same time that the residents of Granahan's surface left, magicians wearing Durderan Federation costumes entered the sewers. They did not come to distribute medicines or evacuate people, but... to kill.
In the intricate sewers, every area was filled with the aura of surging magic. Leila and Duckweed, who were running away in panic, went to several settlements one after another. All they felt was the smell of blood and rich magic. Those things that should have been opened The passages are all sealed by the magic circle.
What floats in the sewers is no longer the domestic garbage of the residents above ground, but the broken bodies.
Blood dyed the pipes red, and those who ran for help fell to death one after another. The magicians of the coalition carefully and cruelly dealt with each fallen object. Those who hoped to escape by pretending to be dead died in despair.
Realizing that the magicians of the alliance did not intend to leave any alive, the patients in the sewers began to use their last strength to resist. They did not expect their weak bodies to be able to stop these high-level magicians, but just wanted to leave their hope of survival to a group of high-level magicians. Poor children who were not infected during the plague, perhaps because of their superior immunity.
During the time that Granaghan's nobles ignored the sewers, the people of various sewer settlements implemented self-control and cut off the plague's reach to the next generation.
Their blood ties made them fly to the flames, and they used their flesh and blood to slow down the cleaning pace of the alliance. Everyone in the restless sewers regarded death as if they were home, and resisted with all kinds of useful things in hand.
Duckweed did not continue speaking, and Lu Yu and his party also chose to remain silent.
Duckweed took a deep breath, her voice already trembling: "Mother Leila protected us and tore up the defense line and broke out of the magic circle. Before she died, she told me everything about the past..."
"I have been investigating everything about the Granaghan Plague. At first, I had no clues because the plague suddenly disappeared after the Granaghan Fire. It appeared so strangely and disappeared so quickly."
"On the night of the sweep, I heard the magician discussing the two keywords of 'madness' and 'walking zombie'. I learned from the survivors on the ground that on the day of the evacuation, there were aristocratic heirs in the city with disheveled hair, looking like crazy demons, attacking He was extremely sexual and even bit or grabbed a servant to death. And this is not an isolated evidence, there are many witnesses."
"I also learned that many people who left Granahan at that time were taken away by the coalition after drinking some kind of potion and put under centralized control. Most of these people have disappeared."
"Pharmaceuticals, plagues..." Lulu's bad memories were brought back to her mind. Although the shadow of the Sharman poisonous fog incident had long faded, she still thought of the box and the malicious intent lurking behind it. Just a chill.
Sierra asked: "After so many years, do you have a clue?"
"There were some. A pharmacist had been preventing the Lord of Granahan from reporting for two days before the plague broke out, and tried his best to downplay the seriousness of the matter. After the plague completely broke out, he left Granahan as soon as possible, and he was also the one who gave the report Specific response plans have been formulated.”
Lu Yu tapped his fingers on the rock wall and watched the sand in the cracks rustling down. He murmured: "It sounds like he is still alive. Judging from your personality, does that mean he is not easy to deal with?"
Duckweed said: "He is one of the chief pharmacists of the business complex. Although he is not very strong, the potions in his hands are very difficult to deal with. In addition, he is always on tight guard and has his back to the magic circle. Before, I really didn't have any What a great idea.”
"Before?" Lu Yu was keenly aware of something.
"He was killed by me. Just two days before the attack, the small array composed of elemental summons blew his defense to pieces. Everything after that went smoothly."
"The great revenge will be avenged, but judging from the tone, you are not happy."
"He is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he is just a servant who works for him." Duckweed's face was solemn, and his fingers unconsciously tightened. "I don't know anything about him, but he must be a pharmacist, and he is in the alliance. His status is extremely high, and the outside world knows very little about him.”
Lulu was stunned: "A chief pharmacist should be rated at least six or seven, which is a high-level category. Would such a person be willing to be another pharmacist's slave? The only possibility I can think of is This pharmacist’s level of potion making is far superior to other pharmacists in the alliance.”
Leif suddenly woke up from snoring. She raised her head suddenly and almost hit Duckweed's chin.
The confused Leif looked around. It took a few seconds for her blurred eyes to refocus. When she saw Lu Yu and others, she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned to look at Duckweed.
It seems that he has been freed from his crazy state.
Duckweed's hand was already on Leif's head: "Apologise."
Leif, who was pinched by the back of Destiny's neck, was as obedient as a kitten. She said "Oh" and immediately bent down: "I'm very sorry."
Lu Yu and Sera exchanged glances, and the last trace of anger in his heart let go.
Just like the name given to Duckweed by the harpy Leila, her life for the past twenty years has really been wandering around, with constant ups and downs. Although Duckweed didn't say it, but without Leila to raise her, she also knew that the pressure of her survival had skyrocketed. It’s hard to imagine that she could become one of the pioneers.
"I probably understand the reason why you regard death as your own, and this matter has been revealed."
Leif was overjoyed: "Are you really not going to embarrass Little Duckweed?"
“As a pioneer, I always walk the talk.”
Leif laughed when she got the affirmative answer, but when she saw Duckweed's droopy face, she immediately stopped her smile and lowered her head obediently.
After thinking for a long time, Lulu said, "Can you let me see your companion who died just now?"
"That's no problem, but what do you want?"
"I'm a pharmacist." Lulu said seriously. "I think I'm more professional than most people in Duldran."
Lu Yu and Sera didn't talk about explosions or anything like that. They both heard the seriousness in Lulu's tone.
She seemed to have a guess.
After getting a positive answer from Lu Yu with an inquiring look, Duckweed thought for a moment and nodded.
In the hole that had been dug long ago, Duckweed's two companions who were kneeling to pray were invited out. Lulu didn't waste any time and immediately used magic power as a knife to cut open the corpse's head. As early as Boggart She poured the medicine prepared at home along the incision.
Unlike other doctors and pharmacists, Lulu closed her eyes tightly after finishing all this and made no other movements. This puzzled Duckweed and Leif. Only Sera and Lu Yu knew that Lulu was The power being used is the super-strong perception on the spiritual level. Her eyes have already followed the potion as a medium to swim in the head of the deceased.
Suddenly, Lulu opened her eyes, her brows furrowed and her lips moved, but she swallowed the words as she reached her lips.
Putting the head back in place, she bowed politely to the deceased, then closed her eyes again and walked around in a circle.
No one dared to disturb Lulu's thoughts. Only the sound of gentle breathing and Lulu's footsteps echoed in the cave.
The footsteps stopped, and Lulu turned to look at Lu Yu: "Let's go to Granahan."
Lu Yu and Sera rarely refused Lulu's requests and immediately agreed.
Duckweed asked puzzledly: "Are you trying to find something? Give up. It has been almost ten years. Granahan was already in ruins after being burned by the fire. Now it has become a consortium to raise special monsters in captivity. The ranch, even if there were clues, would have been destroyed long ago.”
"The residue of some potions is far beyond your imagination." Lulu said confidently, "Just like my understanding of the summoner's summons is always insufficient, your understanding of the various ingredients of potions is also very limited. Sometimes, , time will not bury the answer, but will bring the answer to you."
After so many years, both Duckweed and Leif can deduce that the original plague was actually a violent toxin. As for whether it originated from an experimental accident by the nobles and magicians, or whether it was deliberately poisoned, it actually does not matter. important.
When the Union magicians entered the sewers and slaughtered everyone in sight, young and old, without mercy, they fought to the death with the dignitaries of the Union.
Taking the step of a suicide attack that had been planned for many years with all those who were in pain, they did not pray for anyone to understand. The pain that belonged to Granahan obviously could not be resonated by others.
But Lulu's words changed everything wonderfully.
If it can be proven with real evidence that what happened in Granahan was a conspiracy, and the price of the conspiracy is the health of countless normal people and the corpses piled up in the sewers, then... in this turbulent era, the coalition can really Is it stable?
The anger towards the Federation and those above her made Leif clenched her fists, and she knelt down in front of Lulu with a thud.
Facing the kneeling without warning, Lulu subconsciously retreated, at a loss.
Duckweed wanted to pull, but couldn't.
"Please be sure to uncover the truth and reveal it to the world..." Leif's fingers dug deeply into the ground, "We are hopeless... but at least, at least... we want a flame that can The fire that burns the entire Durderan!"
Duckweed scolded: "The result is still unknown, Leif, get up first."
Looking at Sera, Lulu nodded to Leif: "I know what you are thinking, but I need to remind you that if my speculation is true, the strength of those who can make this kind of potion and conduct experiments is …very strong.”
"How strong?" Leif asked.
"Even if you risk your life, I think there is a high probability that you will not be able to defeat him."
Lulu controlled the potion in the corpse's head to flow out. The originally light green potion now turned into a strange gradient color.
"But he's just a pharmacist, isn't he?"
Lulu did not answer this question, but shook the cup of strange colored solvent and fell into deep thought.
The chat room was connected, and Lu Yu asked tentatively: "You mean, this pharmacist is the eighth level?"
"The problem is not level." Lulu explained, "Under the current environment, the basic magic power required by most potion masters to prepare potions at level 6 is enough to cope with all situations. Compared with level 6, level 7 and level 8 are just an increase. Expansion in other areas.”
"I can vaguely feel that this potion master's level of preparing potions is extremely high..." Lulu tried to give an example, but her chaotic thoughts made her give up. "In short, you can understand that the same formula can be used in other people's hands." In his hands, it has completely different effects. He can even draw inferences from one example and create his own medicine."
"Sounds similar to you?"
After saying that, Lu Yu realized how terrible this was.
In the waves of magic, as all things in the world are nourished and changed subtly, the potion master has always been among the popular schools, and has never been left behind.
Although Lulu has always preferred to use fire magic to fight, her weird potions can deal with countless magicians of the same level.
In addition to being able to explode, shine, burn magic power, and release poisonous mist, Lulu has also refined an extremely evil masterpiece like the briquette potion.
Sera couldn't help but ask: "Maybe you need to give me a vaccine. What is the main effect of the plague that has plagued Leif to this day?"
Lulu shook the colored liquid in the cup, and a fireball suddenly appeared in her hand, covering it instantly.
After the heat destroyed the liquid and the container, she said: "Go crazy, then, suppress all perception."
"Perception, you mean, the five senses, even the sixth sense?"
"I hope it had better not be able to contain the mental fluctuations at that time, otherwise... ten years later, he may have succeeded... I hope I overestimated him." Lulu murmured.
