Chapter 526 Parasitism
The red moon hangs high.
Moya Manor, Council Hall.
The curtains in the main hall were not closed, and through the glass, one could see the blood moon in the sky.
The gods and the pope have not yet arrived, and a group of archbishops are chatting softly.
As the nominal center of the Holy Light Cathedral, gods rarely visit.
It should be said that this manor of the Moya family is the real center of the church.
Later, as the gods leave the material world, the Cathedral of the Holy Light will gain its due status.
"Geralt, I heard that a team of the Night Watch was attacked yesterday. Did it suffer heavy losses?"
Janice asked with concern. The Night Watch and the Silver Dawn are brother forces. The Night Watch hunts monsters outside the city. The city is more stable and the Silver Dawn has fewer opportunities to dispatch.
"There is no loss. The current situation is that the team members fell into a deep sleep and never woke up no matter how they were called. There is no abnormality in the body, but their own spirituality is very weak."
Geralt paused, his eyebrows knitting together:
"The thing is very strange. There are no traces at the scene. It should not be a monster, but an evil spirit that can confuse people.
We have encountered similar situations in the past, and the problem can be solved by giving the fascinated person a few golden light potions, but now this method is ineffective.
Yennefer looked at the condition of these people and thought it was the soul suckers who did it. "
"Soul-sucker, what is that?"
Janice was surprised. She had read through all the church's records about monsters and had never seen any record of such a creature.
Geralt was about to answer when he caught a glimpse of two people wearing moon-white robes walking in. He immediately closed his mouth and stood up.
Janice also saw the person coming. She felt a slight throbbing in her spiritual sense, and her eyes couldn't help but shine slightly. Then she stood up and sang together with the red archbishops:
"Great God of Glory, you are the Lord of the world. You bring light to the dark world. The holy light shines and the glory lasts forever."
Compared to the previous times when he felt awkward, Kroun found it much more pleasant to listen to this time.
"The holy light shines, and the glory lasts forever."
He responded with a smile and said solemnly:
"There is good news to announce that Pope Eliza advanced to the sixth level of transcendence last night!"
Sure enough, my spiritual sense was correct, and Eliza had really advanced.
It's good. The other party won't look at me defensively in the future, right?
Janice breathed a sigh of relief. She intuitively felt that the Pope had always been slightly alienated from her.
Perhaps it was because her performance on the extraordinary path made the other person feel that certain things were out of control, and she was helpless about this.
Now that it's better, the other party shouldn't feel that his ability to advance to the level of a god will threaten his status again. There is only one Glory God in the world.
Many people praised her talent, but she knew rationally that her talent was not worth mentioning in front of the gods.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Everyone congratulated in unison, Flanders smiled happily and said:
“There are more and more high-level extraordinary beings in the church, and with the medicines developed by our Lord, the inheritance of the church is complete.
As time goes by, we will slowly catch up to the levels of the other two churches. "
In his heart, watching his organization quickly become stronger is the happiest thing.
The exercises of the gods have obvious restraint on the law of pollution, and the exercises of the other two churches also have similar effects.
The overall strength of mankind seems to be much weaker than before, but in fact it is not the case. The only ones who still exist are the elites.
When the holy war starts again, he is willing to sacrifice his life and charge on the front line of the battle.
Crown nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
“The time when the spiritual world and the material world overlap is getting closer and closer, and we need to work together to overcome difficulties in the future.
I am ready to open the secret library so that more people with potential can be cultivated.
You all should discuss and come up with a charter to recommend more talents. "
His plan is to wait until the evil gods arrive, then go out alone to hunt them down, while the church defends its existing territory and develops surrounding areas.
There are two things that need to be done most now. One is to cultivate more silver-level extraordinary beings, and the other is to increase the number of fifth- and sixth-level extraordinary beings.
Crown understood that although the area controlled by the Ming Cult was vast, there was only one and a half places where one could truly face the attacks of evil gods without fear.
Shattrath counts as one, and Lorent Town only counts as half.
Most of the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Arrays and Sun Moon Altar in other cities only have one set, and they cannot hold out for long when faced with the attack of the evil god and his minions.
The fog is dense and new aircraft have not been developed yet, so the support speed will be very slow. In addition, we must be prepared to be surrounded by the evil god's minions during the support process.
In other words, if other cities are attacked, the only one they can rely on is themselves.
Flanders thought for a moment and said:
“The church’s high-level extraordinary beings are concentrated in the Hall of Judgment, the Argent Dawn Guard, the Knights of the Silver Hand, and the recently established Night’s Watch.
The heads of our four agencies will discuss and come up with a charter and shortlist the list. "
Kroun glanced at several people in charge and said:
"Get it done quickly, don't argue because of some interests, we are racing against time now."
His fingers tapped the table, like metal tapping.
"Give me a specific time point."
Flanders and several others discussed for a while and then said:
"It can be completed in three days."
Crown nodded slightly:
"Send it to the Pope for review in three days. Does anyone else have anything important to report?"
"I do."
Geralt stood up and told the story of the Night Watch team last night, and concluded:
"Those team members are still in a coma, and no one can do anything about their predicament.
Yennefer suspected that it was the work of the Soul Sucker, but I think it is a mutated evil spirit."
"What is a Soul Sucker? I have never heard of this creature."
Crown summoned the golden wall, glanced at it, and asked in confusion.
[Mage Scholar: 12306/500000; Level 6]
He was very confident in his knowledge, but he didn't know any information about this creature.
He was very sure that the word "Soul Sucker" had never appeared in the knowledge he had browsed.
"Yennefer said that the soul sucker is a creature recorded in the wizard's forbidden secret book, which appeared in the early last era.
Wizards believe that it is a creature transformed after a living being sacrificed to the evil god, and can absorb the soul of a living being without harming the life of the living being.
There are too few records about the soul sucker, and she doesn't know whether this creature has other abilities."
Crown frowned slightly and asked:
"Where are those unconscious night watchmen?"
It is reasonable for him to go and comfort them, not to mention that he can also learn from the victims what happened last night that caused everyone to be unconscious.
"At the Night Watch headquarters."
"After the meeting, I will go with you to see if anyone else has anything to report?"
After the meeting, Crown and Geralt took a carriage and rushed to the Night Watch headquarters. Crown smiled and asked, "Alan didn't come back with us. Was he attracted by a certain wizard and decided to stay on the island of Sinderi?"
The demon hunter was silent for a moment and sighed softly:
"One night, Alan was responsible for leading the troops to defend the bay. The area where he was was attacked by a sixth-level sea beast and no one survived.
If I hadn't chosen to leave Rhine City, Alan wouldn't have died."
He not only took Alan as his disciple, but also raised him as his son.
Now that Alan has died, he has a sense of desolation that the old man is sending the young man away.
Crown sighed, lamenting that things have changed in just a few years.
There was silence in the carriage, and both of them lost interest in talking.
The demon hunter was sad that he had been wandering for half his life, but in the end he failed to save his disciple's life.
Arriving at the Night Watch headquarters, Clown saw several victims.
He saw the problem at a glance. There were a large number of white egg-shaped pollutants parasitizing the hearts of these people, and they were currently dormant.
These pollutants were wrapped in a layer of life force that was exactly the same as the victim's own, and they were extremely small, so they could not be detected without the spiritual perception of the god level.
Sunfire liquid and moon dew sprayed from his fingertips, and a pattern of exorcism array was sprinkled on the ground, and then Klauen began to drive the power of God.
The array was activated, and the golden and silver rune lines shone together.
All the victims floated in the air, with wisps of black mist permeating their bodies, and white afterimages flew out, burning silently in the array.
As Klauen continued to urge the power of God, the bodies of these victims turned over and vomited a lot of green juice, and the pollutants were vomited out by the victims one after another.
The sun's golden flame bloomed in the void, igniting the vomit.
Geralt felt the strong danger hidden in the sun's golden flame. He waved his hand, asked several doctors to leave, and ran to the door himself.
Judging from the strength of the law emitted by the sun's golden flame, if he accidentally got contaminated, he would also be destined to be ignited.
Clown made a metal container, collected some living pollutants, and then sealed it up, and sealed it with divine power, preparing to study it after returning.
When all the victims stopped vomiting, he checked again carefully to make sure that there was no omission, and put everyone back on the bed.
Reaching out and grabbing one of them, he released the time reversal.
The time reversal experienced by this person appeared in front of his eyes.
Soon, he found out what happened at that time.
A gray-white mist enveloped these people, and they fell unconscious one after another.
Then, the mist floated away.
Clown speculated that this should be an unknown creature, not mist, which can release parasites on creatures.
After selecting a few more people and releasing the time reversal one by one, he determined that the mist monster was the real murderer.
He walked out of the room and said:
"These people were parasitized by something and became a breeding ground. Their spirituality was suppressed, so they fell into a coma.
Now, the parasite has been killed. You can order people to feed them some golden light potion and clear heart potion. These people will wake up tomorrow.
When these people wake up, ask them what happened and write a detailed report to send to the manor."
"Yes, sir."
Geralt replied. The power of the gods is unfathomable. Things that everyone is helpless about can be solved easily.
"I'll go back first."
Crown frowned. This matter is very serious.
For a long time, the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array has isolated the pollution law, so there can be peace in the city.
Now there are pollutants that use some mechanism to circumvent the warning purification power of the array, which greatly increases his vigilance.
The wings spread behind him, and with a light flap, he really flew into the air.
After returning to the manor, he immediately entered the laboratory, placed a parasitic egg in a palm-sized petri dish, and began to study the obtained sample.
The white egg was several times smaller than a needle tip and difficult to see with the naked eye, but it could not escape his divine power detection.
He carefully peeled off the life source of the outer layer of an egg, and felt that the purification law contained in the magic circle began to work on the egg.
The outer layer of the egg faded rapidly, and then an amazing scene happened.
The egg actually began to split rapidly, and soon the densely packed eggs formed a sphere.
The outer layer of the egg was purified by the Taiyin Law to form a hard shell, blocking the power of the law from purifying the core mother egg.
What the hell, self-division, but where does the energy come from? It can't be out of nothing, right?
Klauen burned the outer shell, he wanted to see if there was a limit to the division of the mother egg.
However, this time, the mother egg was quickly purified by the Taiyin Law, as if it was a highly volatile liquid, and completely disappeared, and he couldn't sense it with his divine power.
There was no change in the air in the room, as if the egg evaporated in another dimension, so there was no trace left.
Clown was relieved a little, the worst situation did not happen.
It was not that the magic circle could not purify the pollutants, but that the pollutants found a way to evade the power of purification.
He issued an order to Lord through the golden light seed:
‘Find two first-level extraordinary people to come to the alchemy laboratory, one must be a priest and the other must be a knight. ’
Soon, the butler knocked on the door of the alchemist with two young men.
“Come in.”
The butler pushed open the door and walked in, bowing slightly: “Your Majesty, people are here.”
Clown nodded slightly and said:
“Come, cooperate with me to do an experiment.”
He placed two white eggs on the two people respectively, and saw that the white eggs were like raindrops dripping into the lake, penetrating the skin of the two people, and reaching the brain with the flow of blood.
Then he lay motionless and lurked.
"You two, start practicing breathing or meditation."
Crown watched the white egg closely and found that as the two practiced the skills, the holy power quickly purified the alien life force on the outer layer of the white egg, and the white egg was also purified.
He used his divine power to carefully check the bodies of the two people and found nothing unusual, so he put down his heart.
A few parasites cannot cause great damage. Even if they can spread, as long as the extraordinary people are not in a coma, they can easily eliminate the source of parasites.
As long as the fog monster is found, a way to deal with or avoid it can be found.
With his heart completely settled, Clown purified the other parasites with divine power and then flew away from the manor.
He wanted to try to find this fog-like creature to see what it is, because there is no description of fog monsters in his database.
When he flew out of the radiation range of the Moon Soul Spirit Light Array, he gathered all his divine power and walked through the gray fog like an ordinary person.
