What a brutal kill.
Licking the dog indeed.
I don't know why these two men of different ages and nationalities actually reached an inexplicable tacit understanding. The two looked at each other, and then laughed out loud.
"So now the weirdness is back?"
After laughing, he returned to the topic. Zhou Li asked the question he was most concerned about: "Do they have any direct connection with the gospels?"
“There are a thousand and one stories in One Thousand and One Nights.”
Obviously, Gerost has no bad habit of being a Riddler. He immediately explained after saying this meaningless sentence: "In fact, the Gospel is just a container, which contains a thousand and one grotesques. The Gospels gradually acquire a consciousness of their own as the uncanny invades the real world from the book.”
After a pause, Gerost seemed to remember something, and his slightly gray temples wrinkled, "The awakening of the Gospel is divided into four stages, which also correspond to the appearance of the four knights of the apocalypse."
"The first stage is to project "grotesque" on a small scale onto real humans, relying on humans themselves to transform them into fantasy monsters. This is the case for succubi, werewolves, and vampires."
Gerost took out a deerskin scroll inlaid with platinum, opened it and pointed at the monster on it. It was a monster with green pus glowing all over its body, its body was swollen, and its face was divided into several small pieces hanging on the skull. "people". He stood in the town devoured by the plague, kneeling devoutly under the sun.
"When the projection appears, the first knight of the apocalypse, the plague, will awaken. Because the plague is the closest to reality, and it is also a concept that has a concrete existence. To put it simply, there is a plague in Yingnan itself, so the plague will Be the first to wake up.”
"plague…"
Zhou Li looked at the monster on the scroll and asked solemnly: "So now there is a plague in Jordan, is it his fault?"
"He is the plague."
Gerost knew that there was a plague in Jordan, and his tone was a little helpless: "A plague that is unstoppable and almost incurable except for divine magic. Among the four horsemen, although the plague does not seem to be as violent as the other three knights of the apocalypse, it is But he is the one who kills the most ordinary people."
Of course, this isn't over yet.
“When the first phase is over, the Book of Promises will enter the second phase.”
"Belief."
After saying these two words, Zhou Li and Eluma suddenly felt a twisted touch next to them, which disappeared in an instant. Geralost, who did not notice the difference between the two, continued:
"When a large-scale plague causes death to sweep across this area, the death of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will come. He will establish his own religion and let those who fear death believe in him. At this time, he will kill the Plague Knight, so that It will make most people directly believe in this god who "controls death", thereby increasing his power."
The quality is a bit low.
Hearing this, Zhou Li felt ridiculous. Not long ago, he had just killed a god who controlled death, but that god was a righteous god and did not need to kill his teammates for fun.
Gerost, who didn't pay much attention to the battle with Muqi, didn't know what Zhou Li was thinking, and continued: "When the death knight harvests faith on a large scale and becomes a false god, he will directly drag down those who believe in him. Into a dead place for weirdos to choose from.”
"According to calculations, a thousand human lives can provide nourishment for a monster, allowing them to completely descend into reality without any medium. At this time, monsters will begin to emerge in the sun and kill."
Clenching and unclenching his hands, Gerost did not stop speaking. He handed the scroll with the death knight to the two of them, and then took out another scroll and spread it out.
"The next step is famine."
"When the Gospel enters the third stage, it will affect the country on a large scale. It will infect plants and animals with plague, and at the same time integrate death knights into every inch of the land, polluting the country."
Having said this, Gerost gave a bitter smile, and then a gloomy look appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, the weird disaster that year has just entered the third stage, and it has just begun. But it was just the beginning. From the beginning, the price of food in the entire Yingnan has reached one gold coin and ten pounds."
Just thinking about it, Zhou Li knew why this happened. It's very simple. When a famine occurs, the first one to get the news is definitely the merchant who controls the food. Of course, as sophisticated entrepreneurs, their response is definitely not to open warehouses to release grain. They will only purchase grain on a large scale for hoarding, and then make a lot of money.
"I solved the weird disaster in the third stage and used the remaining power of the Gospel to kill the death knight who had just merged into the earth, avoiding complete contamination. But the sequelae still exist, and Jordan is now extremely dependent on imported food. Fifty percent of arable land is unusable.”
Hearing this, a worried look appeared on Eluma's face. Now just a plague has completely shut down Jordan. If it really enters the third stage as Gerost said, whether the country of Yingnan will be destroyed is a question.
"Don't be so pessimistic."
Although Eluma tried her best to hide her worries, Zhou Li on the side didn't even look at it. He gently held her hand and said, "The current gospel has only entered the first stage. We can stop it."
"Is such that."
In fact, Gerost thought the same way, "Although I was surprised that the Gospel grew legs and ran away in the first stage, but it was most likely an instinctive reaction from the last time. The plague in the first stage and those projections The monsters are all weak, and having learned from the past, the government will be prepared. Now that Yingnan has also developed, it will no longer be as vulnerable as the last time."
"And, this time, it's us."
Zhou Li looked at Eluma, his tone was calm, but reassuring: "Mr. Gerost has experience in dealing with the Gospels. The government will be prepared this time, and you and I will also help Mr. Gerost." .”
The advantage is mine.
This time it's really my advantage.
After ignoring the strange flag he had set, Zhou Li turned around to face Gerost and asked calmly: "Mr. Gerost, what would you do next if it were you?"
"Killing the Knight of the Apocalypse will restore peace to the Gospels."
Gerost's answer was as expected by Zhou Li. He unfolded the scroll engraved with the Plague Knight. In the blink of an eye, a silver needle was inserted into the scroll, and a layer of strange green light covered the silver needle. tail end.
"Within fourteen days, as long as we kill the plague and banish the weird projections, we can solve the Gospel."
