"What exactly did you hear?"
Gru frowned.
Every time he talked about his daughter, he would be very nervous. He was a very calm man, but everyone had their own weaknesses.
There was no doubt that the girl who was alive and kicking a few months ago was the man's biggest weakness.
"I didn't hear anything. I only heard that she was sick. "
Ma Wen said simply, "I just came to ask about her condition."
Gru hesitated and finally said, "She's very sick."
"The doctor said that she might not be able to hold on for a few weeks. We went to the priests of the Silver Church, but those low-level priests couldn't do anything."
"The only way is to find a high-level priest to pray for blessings. But it's expensive. We borrowed a lot of money, but it's still a little short. "
Gru was very honest. Although the Dual-bladed Mask in front of him gave him a strong threat, he still told the truth.
"Did her illness suddenly flare up?" Ma Wen asked.
"Yes." A trace of surprise flashed in Gru's eyes. "Mr. Dual-bladed Mask, are you also a doctor?"
"Not really. It's just that I've seen some examples when I was traveling. "
Ma Wen's lies were also at his fingertips. He had an experienced and knowledgeable demeanor. Even Gru, who was a senior adventurer, couldn't see through it.
"What? You've seen this kind of illness? "
Gru suddenly became excited.
His daughter was his only concern. He lost his wife early and regarded his daughter as his darling. He basically did his best to satisfy her requirements.
This also fostered his daughter's spoiled and willful personality. She fooled around with some messy people outside all day. Gru was also very helpless about this. He was an adventurer, and it was normal for him to be away from home all year round. The only thing he could do was to keep making money to satisfy her material needs.
Now that she was sick, Gru's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. This feeling of being a father could only be understood by those who had experienced it.
"Of course. That's why I asked. "
Ma Wen said calmly, "Is her current condition that her face is yellow, but her eyes are particularly bright? Are there any black spots on her neck that look like acne marks? "
Gru was stunned on the spot!
"How, how did you know!?" His voice began to tremble.
"Mr. Gru, you're in luck. There aren't many people in Fernand who know about this."
Ma Wen's tone was very calm. "Please don't be shocked by what I'm going to tell you next."
"Your daughter doesn't have an illness."
"It is the plague."
"In Fernand's history, it has erupted three times. Every time, a few nearby cities would be destroyed. "
"[Black Sweet Poison], I wonder if you've heard of this name."
Gru stood there, dumbfounded.
…
The Black Sweet Poison was not a poison, but a plague that originated from the God of Plagues.
This evil god had wanted to take over the Fernand Continent a long time ago. His ideal world was a land of death, filled with terror and plague.
He spread the plague of Black Sweet Poison everywhere. Everyone who was infected by the plague would become sallow and emaciated, but their eyes would be very attractive.
At this time, they would have hallucinations that they had come to heaven.
Their appetite would explode, and the nutrients they ate would nourish the black spots on their necks.
It was these black spots that were constantly draining their life force.
The Black Sweet Poison was very terrifying. Every time it erupted, it would take away many lives.
The last outbreak of the Black Sweet Poison was during the elven era. At that time, the status of humans was very low, and the quality of life was very poor. When the Black Sweet Poison broke out, almost one-tenth of the human population was infected by this terrible plague.
The power of the God of Plagues increased greatly.
At this time, a Saint descended. He brought the solution to the Black Sweet Poison and rescued humans from the abyss of suffering.
That Saint's surname was Brando, and no one knew his name.
Some said he was the incarnation of the ancient elven god, while others said he was the incarnation of the God of Sorcerers.
In short, after the Saint cured the Black Sweet Poison, he disappeared from the world of Fernand. The term Black Sweet Poison also retreated to the background.
People gradually forgot about this terrible plague.
But Ma Wen remembered it very clearly.
The outbreak of the Black Sweet Poison was also a sign of the Age of Chaos. Because of the legendary wizards, the source of the plague was quickly extinguished.
But this was just a small test by the God of Plagues.
The history of Fernand was very clear that the Saint born during the last outbreak of the Black Sweet Poison was actually not the incarnation of a god, but a master proficient in herbology and potions. He was a mortal.
What really got rid of the Black Ganoderma wasn't the medicine that the Saint had brought. Instead, it was the God of Plague who had accidentally spread the plague to the forests in the west when he was spreading the plague. This had directly incurred the wrath of the Ancient God of Nature.
The Ancient God of Nature exploded. With great divine power, it was more than enough for him to beat up a weak God of Plagues.
The poor God of Plagues didn't even have time to develop his territory before the Ancient God of Nature almost broke his divinity. Fortunately, he had the help of the God of Fear, the God of Destruction, and other evil gods, otherwise he would have been sealed in a bottle by the Ancient God of Nature.
Since then, the God of Plagues carefully lived … no, became a god.
It took a long time for him to develop his own forces in the secondary plane and slowly recover his strength.
And when the first and second generation ancient gods such as the Ancient God of Nature and the Ancient God of Elves gradually became less active, he began to be eager to try.
This time, the invasion of the Black Sweet Poison into Fernand was just a small test.
All the gods knew that the gods were attacking the Universal Magic Pool. Whether it was a god with great divine power or a god with weak divine power, they all knew that this was an opportunity.
It was an excellent opportunity to develop their own believers and strengthen themselves.
The Universe Mana Pool was a great boon to both humans and Sorcerers.
But for the gods, it was a huge shackle. After the God of Wizards, Lance, left, they had long wanted to break it.
Everything was just lacking an opportunity.
…
"Doesn't that mean my daughter is hopeless?"
Gru's lips turned white.
After listening to Ma Wen's introduction of the Black Sweet Poison, he broke out in a cold sweat!
His daughter had actually been infected with the plague!
This was too terrible. Not to mention whether his daughter's life could be saved, if others knew about it, they would probably be burned to death!
Yes!
Although there were wizards in this world, in the face of the plague, humans were still as ignorant as in the Middle Ages on Earth.
Those who got the plague were directly regarded as dead!
What spread faster than the plague was fear!
In a sense, plague and fear were indeed a perfect match. Unfortunately, the God of Plague and the God of Fear were both male, so they could not marry. They could only occasionally get together to have sex.
"If your daughter was hopeless, I wouldn't be sitting here."
Ma Wen said lightly, "In fact, I know a way to save your daughter."
"What? What you said is true? "Gru suddenly saw hope.
There was no need for the Double Blade Mask to lie to him.
Since he said so, he should have some confidence. A glimmer of hope appeared in Gru's heart.
"Don't worry. The Black Sweet Poison has a long dormant period. Only at the moment of death, the person who got it will self-destruct. At that time, the plague will begin to spread in the air. We still have time.
The most important thing now is to recover the White River Valley.
Because the way to save your daughter is in Baron Ma Wen's castle. "
Ma Wen got up and patted Gru's shoulder. "Relax. It's not good for the battle tomorrow if you are so nervous."
Gru laughed hoarsely. "Really … thank you very much … although I don't know what your relationship with Baron Ma Wen is."
"But for this mission, the Thorns Team will do our best."
…
The next evening, after resting, they quietly assembled in the woods on both sides of the sentry post.
Just like the previous arrangement, the guards and the Thorns Team would go one way, while Lynx and the other three adventurers would go the other way.
"Release the bait."
Anna said lightly.
At the side, Gelu nodded.
A woman behind him suddenly lowered her body and began to murmur a spell.
Very quickly, she turned into a beautiful sika deer!
The sika deer jumped twice, suddenly rushed across the road, and then rushed back into the woods.
Roar!
Six mutant hyenas who had nothing to do saw the sika deer and immediately rushed over.
