Chapter 1147 Strange Disease (Ⅱ)

"I want to repay the debt with all my heart, but I can't hurt the townspeople, let alone you kind people who are willing to help." Elder Hunter raised his head and said resolutely, "Tonight, I will take Mr. Hainier away Elk Town, we will bear all the consequences by ourselves, and we will never implicate others!"

"Elder, I admire your integrity and courage, but your decision is not rational!"

Audrey warned Elder Hunter sternly.

"At this point, you can't afford it alone. Even if you take Mr. Heinel away, Trim and his son will not let go of Elk Town, which offended them. Otherwise, the lord of Winterhold and 'White Where is the prince's face? I'm afraid they can save face only by completely destroying this town."

Elder Hunter shook his head, and was about to refute, but Joan spoke first.

"Elder, if you insist on going, then please allow me to go with you."

"Young man, it's none of your business—"

"Brother Clark is my friend, and I can't just watch him fall into the clutches of the Koschurch believers." Joan's expression was firm and he could not refuse.

After listening to Elder Hunter's narration, he has basically guessed the origin of the grievances between Winterhold and Clark.

"White Prince" Vignier mentioned a "silver collar" veiledly in his letter, but he refused to say exactly what kind of collar it was, nor did he explain why Clark carried such a collar with him, Hunter The elder was puzzled, but Qiao An had already seen through the mystery.

The so-called "Silver Collar" most likely refers to the "Korstchurch Collar" that he and Clark obtained during the treasure hunt in "City in the Clouds" - the artifact that the abyss lord Kostchurch once wore!

Lord Trim of Winterhold is a devout believer of Koschurch, and he is also one of the leading followers of the "Church of Koschurch" in the New World and even the entire world of Vales. He is a senior priest, and his status is comparable to that of the "Patriarch" of mainstream churches. , of course he can get some kind of revelation from his idol, and then learn that the "Kostchurch Collar" fell into Clark's hands.

The "Korstchurch Collar" is like the supreme sacred object in the minds of all believers in the "Korstchurch Church". How can it be tolerated that the sacred object is taken away by a heretic named Clark?

Whether it's through Kostchurch's own oracle, or to practice fanatical religious beliefs, Trim will stop at nothing to get the artifact collar back from Clark.

Judging from Trim's initial actions, this person is still very calm.

In order to prevent the situation from expanding, Trim did not personally break into Elk Town to snatch the collar, and did not even appear in person. Instead, he entrusted his adopted son Vignier to negotiate letters with Elder Hunter.

So far, the actions of the Winterhold side have been relatively restrained, and this is precisely the most terrifying place.

Fanatics who lose their minds are not something to be afraid of. What really makes people sleep and eat is the "old fox" who is deep-minded and cautious like Trim. Once he is targeted, it is difficult to escape.

"Joan, if you insist on this, then I will also escort Mr. Hainier to escape from Elk Town with you." Holden solemnly stated his decision, "Don't say that this has nothing to do with me, how do you treat him?" A friend treats you as a friend treats you."

Audrey glared at her younger brother angrily, complaining about his recklessness, but when it was her turn, she could only make the same choice.

Hailar is certainly no exception.

"I really don't know what to say about you, is madness contagious?"

Captain Stone looked at Joan, Hyrule, Audrey and Holden, shaking his head and laughing angrily.

"You little fellows, you don't even know how terrifying the Lord Trim of Winterhold is! The impulsive decision you make will only ruin your own life in vain, and ultimately fail to save Clark Heinir. Why bother!"

"Don't worry about it!" Hailar snapped back angrily.

Captain Stone sighed, not knowing what to say.

Elder Hunter stood up and said to everyone, "It's already past noon, let's go eat something first, and then discuss what to do next."

Captain Stone nodded, got up and walked out the door.

Hailar, Audrey and Holden also followed out, only Joann sat in front of the hospital bed and did not move.

"Joan, you..." Audrey stood in front of the door and cast a worried glance back.

"Don't worry, I won't sneak away, I just want to stay here and spend more time with Brother Clark." Joan said calmly.

"Okay then, I'll bring you food later."

Audrey sighed, and closed the door lightly, and the ward became dark, as if being drowned by boundless haze, making it breathless.

Joan returned to the hospital bed and silently observed the sleeping Clark. Apart from his pale and haggard face, he could not see any other obvious symptoms.

What kind of strange disease did Clark suffer from, why did he pass out without warning, and start sleepwalking inexplicably, and even go berserk while sleepwalking, swallowing people's hearts raw?

Joan really wanted to wake Clark up and ask him these questions face to face.

However, he knew in his heart that even if Clark woke up, he would still be unconscious, and he might not be able to answer his doubts, or even recognize his old friend at all.

Considering all kinds of uncontrollable risks, Joan had no choice but to give up the plan to wake up Clark, and instead cast the 2-ring "advanced inner vision" to directly check his health status.

...

Health Status: Critically ill (infected with unknown supernatural disease)

Attributes: Strength 36 (belt +4), Dexterity 14, Constitution 16 (disease -8), Intelligence 11, Wisdom 6 (disease -10), Charisma 12

...

The results of the internal inspection showed that Clark was infected with some kind of supernatural disease, which was expected by Joan. However, Clark's perception attributes were severely weakened by the disease, which was an unusual symptom.

During his research on "Insectization", Joan read a lot of literature about various supernatural diseases, and found that most diseases damage the human body, mainly in terms of physical fitness, making people weaker and weaker.

In addition, there are also individual diseases that have little effect on the patient's physical attributes, but can damage the brain, weaken the patient's intellectual attributes, and even eventually completely lose the ability to think and become an idiot.

But the disease that Clark is contracting at the moment is different from the above two situations. It is not only the physique that is affected by the virus, but also the perception attribute!

After being surprised, Joan recalled Clark's crazy performance on the battlefield this morning, and then related to his perception attribute being severely weakened by the virus, the mystery in his heart was gradually solved.
