Chapter 610 Virus Weapon
Joan chased after him with a big hand with remote control magic power, slapped him to the ground, spread his five fingers and grabbed the skinny mad mage tightly, dragged him back to him, and shouted through a layer of force field wall: "If you don't want to die, let me out."
"No... I can't do it..." Felge struggled to breathe under the grip of the giant palm, his face flushed red, "I can't do it myself... disarm the force field ball..."
Joan didn't think he was lying, so he had to wait patiently until ten minutes later, the force field ball disintegrated on its own.
During the waiting time, he was idle anyway, so Joan loosened his magic hand a little bit to let Ferge take a breath so as not to suffocate, then tightened his fingers again, and asked him what he was doing in the mine. Famous.
"Hmph! I, Feierge, am not a coward who is afraid of death. You can kill me, but never try to pry my mouth open!" The mad mage put on a stubborn face, assuming that death is at home, "What are you waiting for? Come on , give me a happy time!"
Seeing his excited expression, Joan knew that the conventional interrogation method might not have any effect on this stubborn guy, so he frowned and thought for a while, and said to Feierge: "I don't want to talk to you, let the other A Felger comes out."
"Don't even think about it!"
Joan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so the remote control mage beat him head and face, and kept hitting, until he fell into a coma again, and then threw him into a puddle to wake him up.
Perhaps it is the physiological instinct of survival and self-preservation that played a role. This time, Ferger's fierce and stubborn main character retreated to the second line, replaced by the weak and cowardly, conscientious sub-personality, who cooperated with Joan to confess .
Although all kinds of doubts had already been foreshadowed, Joan couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat after hearing Feierge's personal explanation.
He originally thought that Felger was hiding in the mine to study necromancy, which aroused the public's disgust, but he didn't know that the truth was darker than he expected. The reason why Felger came to this mine where smallpox once broke out was mainly to collect smallpox Virus, trying to make this severe infectious disease into a virus weapon for use in war.
Ferge is just a poor low-level mage. Because he specializes in necromancy, he is widely discriminated against in society. It is difficult to find a legitimate job to make a living, let alone have the ambition and strength to start a war. The reason why he participated in the research Virus weapons are purely hired.
The generous commission, coupled with the fact that Felger suffered from smallpox when he was young and was lucky enough to survive, so that he would never be infected with this severe infectious disease again in his life, these two factors prompted him to make up his mind to take risks and accept this shady business. trade.
In order to avoid attracting attention, he installed the virus laboratory in the depths of the Zoqi mine where the smallpox epidemic once broke out. Occasionally, in the dead of night, he sneaked out of the mine and kidnapped strangers passing by here to cultivate viruses. in vivo experiments.
This sneaky behavior has been going on for more than half a year, until a group of dwarf miners broke in not long ago, destroying his peaceful life.
Felge used a trick to scare away the group of dwarf miners. He thought he could rest easy in the future, but he didn't expect to provoke such a villain as Joan. Before the virus research work was completed, he was caught and revealed himself.
After hearing Feierge's confession, Joan was speechless for a long time. He also knew that the human heart was sinister, but he never imagined that someone would be so vicious as to try to make a weapon of "smallpox", a highly infectious disease with a high fatality rate and an uncontrollable spread.
If this virus weapon is finally successfully developed, it will not only defeat the enemy, but also completely exterminate it!
What's even more frightening is that the smallpox virus has no eyes, and there is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy. While killing the enemy, it will also spread to other areas with the wind, posing a fatal threat to innocent civilians. Could it be that those who try to use this weapon are simply Haven't considered the life and death of those innocent people?
This is not academic research, but outright crime! Only the most evil and cruel demons can be so vicious as to do such an outrageous act!
Joan gritted her teeth, suppressed her anger, and asked Ferger, "Who hired you to do this?"
"I don't know..." Feierge shook his head dejectedly, "I really don't know who the boss is behind the scenes! Every time I contact me, it's a masked man who claims to be the emissary of a certain general, but refuses to Tell me the general's name."
"Didn't you find any clues to prove his identity?" Joan asked unwillingly.
Feierge raised his head, glanced at him timidly, and said intermittently: "Once, I accidentally saw that masked Lord Messenger wearing a pendant next to his body. The pendant was shaped like a small axe. painted in pitch black..."
"Black Ax..."
Joan immediately remembered seeing the same pendant on Henry Baldwin's neck in House Town not long ago. At that time, Clark told him that it was the evil emblem unique to the believers of the "Conquest Cult", and the "black ax" symbolized the mysterious idol worshiped by this group of cultists. Lord, people outside the church will have no way of knowing.
Since the masked man who communicated with Felger was wearing the "Black Axe" pendant, Joan had reason to suspect that he and his master were probably secret believers of the Conquest Order.
Joan also thought that Felger was commissioned by the military to develop smallpox weapons, and Henry Baldwin's backstage boss—General Isaac Hooker—had the dual identities of both a high-level conquest order and a high-ranking military official. Could this explain Ferge's employer is also that General Hooker?
It's a pity that Feierge's subsequent confession denied Joan's suspicion. It is true that the person who hired Ferger to study the smallpox virus had a military background, but Ferger insisted that this person was a high-ranking official of the Midgard Colonial Legion, and General Hook served in the Alfheim Colonial Legion. system, is unlikely to be the same person.
The only intersection between these two high-ranking military officials is that they both have cult backgrounds, and they are probably secret members of the Conquest Order.
In order to obtain better military horses, General Hook instructed Baldwin to kidnap and force the centaur to crossbreed with the filly. Ferger's employer was even more frantic and tried to make the smallpox virus into a weapon. It can be seen that they are all the kind of people who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Hero character.
From the behavioral style of these two great figures, it is not difficult to see the evil nature of the "Conquer Order".
Because of the incident in House Town, Joan was already on the "blacklist" of General Hooker. Later, he was hunted down by the "Snake Hand" Sharman's party many times, and almost lost his life.
After finally escaping to Midgard and getting rid of the pursuit of Sharman and others, he didn't want to offend another big man who was more vicious than General Hook, so he decided not to pursue the matter further, so as not to cause disaster.
