Blood of Mercury

Roland decided to separate from Kakarit for a while.

He asked his mentor to send a message to Kakarit, and asked him to pick up Duo Duo and Farina, then leave from Richero and go directly to Banza, without going to the city of wealth.

If it is convenient, try to develop some believers from Richero during these days. Especially Marquis Saya and the daughter of Marquis, people with Druid talent and superior perception should pay more attention.

In addition, if after finding Farina, it is found that Farina is abnormal or uncooperative, there is no need to hesitate or report it, just cooperate and kill her on the spot——

A decision like Roland's could drag Kakarit to Caral for at least a week. He didn't want to keep a distance from Kakarit, but with Gahalad and Elucado now, Roland no longer had a high demand for Kakarit's combat power.

Holy Grail Knight Gahalad, plus the natural disaster Elucado, this is enough for Roland to push down several cities. Coupled with Roland's own rampant attitude, it is impossible for anything in the entire Caral to threaten Roland.

Rather than overflowing the already saturated combat power, it was more important to keep watch over Caral. He was about to leave for Banza, and he had no eyeliner in Caral.

At least, he needs a dead crow who can help him cure the plague to stay here——

Roland raised his eyebrows as he looked at the desolate and dilapidated countryside in front of him.

A smell of rotting wood wafted through the desolate countryside. It's almost spring, and the temperature is not too cold, but I can't see a person turning the fields, and all the doors and windows of the houses are closed. The few people I saw occasionally were lying outside the house leaning on the street corner, and from time to time there was a violent cough, which even made people wonder if they would cough out their stomachs.

Roland looked from a distance and could see that some people's faces were covered with black linen. And no one will take care of them, just throw them on the street, even if they rot, no one will take care of them.

This is the plague. Terrible plague.

People don't know how to respond. All they can do is choose to avoid its edge.

If someone is infected, let them continue their lives under the sun for a while, and pray for the mercy of Mother Earth...

In other words, it is life and death. Or let them wait to die.

no doubt. They must have tried everything. Druid magic, folk herbal medicine, bloodletting, or, more recently, exchange blood—but apparently, there is no cure for this plague.

These are lying on the street. Breathing in the fresh air and basking in the sun, there was an almost peaceful despair in the eyes.

Their eyes were grayish-white, their chests rose slightly, their lips were dry, and their eyes were sunken.

No water, no food, no sleep - not out of pain or abuse, but out of sheer desperation.

More and more people are showing symptoms of the plague.

At first, anemia, weakness, and occasional fainting, just like the symptoms of ordinary malnutrition.

It will then cause flu-like symptoms. They began to have a continuous fever, their muscles became weak, it became difficult to walk, and they continued to cough violently.

For someone from a small village. This is already a serious and deadly plague. After a period of fever, bloodstains that appeared when they were beaten would suddenly appear on their bodies.

Depending on the person's system, the bloodstains may be deep or shallow. It is not an exaggeration to say that some bloodstains are skin and flesh, and the white and swollen skin is rolled to the sides, revealing the dark red bloodstains. Then they started coughing up blood, dazzled, vomited, convulsed all over, lost their minds, and died quickly, turning into mummified corpses.

This is the plague of despair. Since the first person who died three days ago emerged. In just two days, the number of dead had reached a quarter of the village's population.

The infected can only lie quietly outside their homes, looking forward to the miracle that will never come. The pale and feeble sunlight was quietly sprinkled on them, without any effect of dispelling germs.

In the surrounding part of the gathering place, the green giant trees unique to Caral also all withered without exception. The brutal bloodstains of people being beaten with salted whips splattered on bark and on the outer walls of buildings. Deeply etched marks.

"Should it be true..."

Roland sighed deeply.

"As a result... In the end, the sick village became the source of the bloodstain syndrome."

——This is Ram, the sick village where Roland tried to set fire for the first time.

According to the development of history, Farina is the plague of bloodstain syndrome that was dropped from here. And it was transmitted to Bansa a week later, to Fararu after ten days, to Titan after eighteen days, and to Suze after forty days.

Wait until after the spring, from all the countries west of the Elcatel desert. They were all infected with a terrible plague.

According to the past practice of dealing with the plague, the gods will give targeted magic at this time. After the priests sell it at a high price for a period of time, they will obligately use the magic to heal the rest of the people.

However, this time is different.

The gods seemed to be blind at the same time, and the priest could no longer get a response from the gods. Although the magical spells they have obtained have not disappeared, their divine graces are no longer quickly restored due to prayers, just like all the gods are dead - but they can clearly feel that the gods are not dead.

Just abandoned them, that's all.

Furious people gathered in groups, smashed the local shrine, hanged priests and nuns, then swept away the money and fled desperately, trying to find a paradise that was not infected.

Thus, amid the chaos and riots, the plague revival that subverted people's thousand-year-old worldview began.

Roland stretched out his hand and gently touched the dead old tree in front of him, and touched the dark red bloodstain like a wound that appeared when a human body was cut.

At that moment, Roland's Plague Nest was activated immediately!

[Plague sample detected... Perception check, check succeeded]

[You confirm that the plague in front of you comes from the bloodstain syndrome, and there is a total of one mutation]

[The current nest is at level 3, 2 plagues have been successfully produced, and there are 2 plague seedlings left]

[Whether to add it to the Plague Nest]

Yes.

Roland silently confirmed. The scarlet powder immediately drilled into Roland's skin.

【Bloodstain syndrome is a plague caused by fungi, you need 48 hours to resolve it】

[Consumption of divine grace can speed up the analysis progress, the fastest can be accelerated to six hours]

Roland naturally mentioned the fastest consumption of divine grace without hesitation. Anyway, his divine grace is useless.

Almost instantly, Roland's divine grace bottomed out. After that, his divine grace was replenished immediately, going up and down like jumping off a building.

After confirming that the plague nest was fully activated and consuming Roland's divine grace to quickly analyze the plague, Roland quietly put his finger down from the tree.

Another reason why he no longer needs to meet Kakarit urgently is that Roland no longer needs to get the plague sample from Todo.

This is undoubtedly a situation that exceeded Farina's prediction. Roland likes this kind of surprise.

The part that Farina didn't expect was that Roland didn't stay to fish after Richero was swept into a puddle of water. This made it more than three days before Roland arrived at the sick village ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If it was another week, there would probably only be corpses left here. And three days in the evening, it is almost exactly the scene after the order has completely collapsed.

However, there is still help now.

Roland can use the antidote set by Farina to remove the plague as long as the plague nest is analyzed. But it was dusk, the sun was about to set, and all the hotels were closed. Roland's plague analysis will take at least eight hours, and if you count the world of finding the antidote, it will take at least two days here.

- Well, now comes the problem.

Is Roland going or staying? (To be continued.)

PS: Plot branch:

A: Anyway, even if Roland lifted their plague, they would be re-infected sooner or later. Better to save time and rush to Banza first.

B: Now the time has been earned. Even if he only earns one day, it does not mean that Roland has lost two days. Might as well just lift the plague for them.
