Chapter 209 Twin Witches, Two Sides of One Body

The scarlet light, just like the red sun in the sky, covered all the brilliance.

When the sight in front of him returned to normal, the violent spirits around him gradually calmed down, and Ryan immediately observed the surroundings.

Ryan did not feel much of the teleportation tearing feeling that the snow-winged girl Wei Ya said, probably because his current physique was incomparable even to the legends in the general sense.

As far as he could see, there were no magnificent buildings, nor fierce battlefields, but only an ordinary, even somewhat shabby cabin.

The dim sunlight squeezed in from the gaps in the wooden boards that made up the wall. Ryan noticed that the windows on the wooden wall not far away were nailed shut with wooden boards, as if the owner of the cabin was guarding against something, and the furniture in the room also looked messy, even the cups and plates on the wooden table not far away were overturned and scattered.

"The teleportation beacon should have teleported me to the vicinity of the Scarlet Witch..."

"Has there been any unrest in this area?"

Ryan said to himself, then opened the door and stepped out.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Ryan smelled a distinct burning smell in the air, which was faintly mixed with sulfur, incense and other messy things, which was very strange.

Not only that, the scene that came into his eyes made Ryan frown.

On both sides of the dirty and messy streets paved with gravel, dead bodies were lying one after another. There was a fire at the door of every household, which seemed to have just finished burning, with curling green smoke.

So many people, all dead?

A rough look showed that there were at least a hundred people, and there were more dead people in the distance.

Ryan noticed that there were large areas of ulcers, pustules and scabs on the faces of these dead people.

This scene made Ryan realize something, and he immediately deployed a blood barrier.

"Plague?"

Ryan looked ugly.

Plague can also be called a highly lethal infectious disease.

In the previous life, on the blue planet, plague has never been cut off, and it can be called the enemy of mankind.

After arriving in this world, Ryan had never been exposed to the plague because he had been sailing on the sea.

This made him mistakenly believe that there was no plague in this world.

Because of the existence of spirituality, professionals almost never get sick, and even ordinary people's bodies are stronger than those on Blue Star.

Why did the plague happen here? Ryan didn't want to go into it.

He just couldn't understand why the Scarlet Witch ran to such a plague place?

Pity the world?

No.

As a witch persecuted by the world, how could the Scarlet Witch pity the world?

She didn't hurt anyone, which was extremely merciful.

Ryan stood there, without acting rashly, but waiting quietly.

He used the "Scarlet Beacon" to teleport here. If the Scarlet Witch was nearby, it would be impossible for her to be indifferent. Instead of searching aimlessly, it would be better to wait for the Scarlet Witch to come to the door.

While waiting, Ryan's eyes fell on the fire at the door of every household.

At this moment, he finally knew the source of the strange smell he had just smelled.

Ryan has some understanding of the plague. He knows that in the era of underdeveloped technology, people believed that the high temperature and smell brought by the burning of flames could dispel the transmission factors of the "plague".

This does make sense. After all, in dirty and messy cities, humans are very likely to get sick, and high temperature has a certain antibacterial effect.

Unfortunately, for most plagues, the effect of this method can only be said to be better than nothing.

At this time, Ryan sensed something and turned his head to look to his side.

I saw a very slender figure wearing a gray hooded robe standing in the alley in the corner.

Under the hood, a pair of crimson eyes are particularly attractive.

The four eyes met, the slender figure in the gray robe turned around and walked into the alley. Ryan did not hesitate and followed quickly.

Walking to the depths of the alley, the slender figure in the gray robe in front stopped, turned around, and spoke in a faint tone:

"What's your name?"

Her voice was full of magnetism, like a phantom moon in the water, giving people a feeling that you can see but can't touch.

"..." Ryan hesitated, but still said truthfully: "Ryan Rayland."

He wanted to continue to say the code name "Purple Wind", but facing the Scarlet Witch, who is known as the strongest witch in the world, he finally decided to tell the "truth".

After all, he needs help from others. If he is exposed for lying, he may not get the "rare things".

"It turned out to be you."

There were some waves in the plain voice.

This made Ryan a little confused.

The Scarlet Witch seemed to know him.

Seeing Ryan's doubts, the slender figure in the gray robe raised his hand and took off the hood on his head, revealing a gorgeous red long hair.

There was a deep red mark covering half of her face on her face, which not only did not destroy the beauty of her face, but added a touch of mystery to it.

The scarlet eyes looked at Ryan quietly.

"I know you."

"From Selena's last words."

"Selena..." The distant and familiar name made Ryan stunned for a moment.

Blood Witch Serena...

"Serena, Milanla, Shelia, Meloye..."

"Viya, Huyi..."

"There is also a strange and familiar magical aura."

The Scarlet Witch whispered: "You are stained with too much witch's aura."

"It was Huyi who took the initiative to let you come here."

"I know her good intentions, but what I want to do cannot be helped by being strong."

"Ryan Leland, tell me why you came to me."

"I can feel the gratitude of those magical auras left in you. For their sake, I will try my best to help you if I can."

Ryan cheered up. Although he was a little concerned about Blood Witch Serena's "last words", Freny's matter was more important at the moment.

He told the story of the cause and effect, and sincerely requested: "Lord Crimson, do you know the information about the 'rare object'?"

"Don't worry, as long as you tell me, I can pay a sufficient price. Even if I can't do it now, I will definitely pay it to you in the future."

The Scarlet Witch frowned slightly: "Frenne...the origin is damaged..."

A look of anxiety appeared in the depths of her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it: "'Rare thing', I got one many years ago, but I have already used it."

Ryan's heart gradually became cold. After noticing his expression, the Scarlet Witch continued: "But you don't have to worry too much."

"You came by chance."

"If what I'm doing can be solved, even if I don't need a 'rare object', I can still help Freni heal her original damage."

Ryan's eyes lit up and he said without hesitation: "Lord Crimson, can you tell me the relevant information?"

"Although my strength is not as good as yours, I may be able to come up with some effective method since I am short on one person."

"I think so too." The Scarlet Witch nodded: "Follow me."

After saying that, she turned around, jumped onto the wall of the alley, and walked away into the distance.

Ryan followed without hesitation.

Not long after, the two people, one behind the other, stopped at the top of a three-story stone house.

Looking along the line of sight of the Scarlet Witch, Ryan saw a huge square in front of the cathedral.

At this moment, there are countless people there praying devoutly.

There were a large number of fires burning around the crowd, and from time to time, people would add certain materials to these fires.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Coughs were heard one after another in the square. There were pustules and scabs on the faces and exposed arms of these people. Judging from the appearance, they were exactly the same as those who died from the plague.

In other words, these people are all poor people infected with the plague.

Without waiting for Ryan to ask questions, the Scarlet Witch spoke softly:

"This is Black Rock City, a border city located in the Kingdom of Statir, one of the five committee nations of the Continental Alliance."

"A plague swept through this place about three months ago."

"People infected with the plague will initially experience symptoms such as high fever, chills, headache, and general weakness."

"After a week, the symptoms intensified, and pustules appeared all over the body of the plague-infected person, including in the mouth, face, and even on the skin all over the body. After these pustules fester, they will form scabs."

"Eventually, death comes."

"The Kingdom of Statir sent the most elite priests here for treatment, but unfortunately, the results were very little. The treatment, which consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy, can only delay the patient's life for two or three days."

"And there are more than tens of thousands of people infected with similar plagues in Black Rock City. Even if the priests are exhausted, they can't relieve one tenth of the people."

"The plague continues to intensify. As a last resort, the Kingdom of Statir completely sealed off the entire Black Rock City and did not allow anyone to leave."

"Today's Black Rock City is already a hell on earth."

"Of course, it has nothing to do with me."

The Crimson Witch's eyes were very indifferent. For her, the death of these unrelated people could not shake her mind in the slightest.

"but……"

"I have a witch I must save."

"Witch?" Ryan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became more solemn.

"Yes." The Scarlet Witch said directly without any intention of showing off, "This plague is actually not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

"A disaster related to the witch."

The magnetic sound made waves, like a small stone falling into the calm lake water.

"I have a treasure that can help me determine the vague location of the witches in the mainland countries."

"It is with this treasure that I can gather many witches and protect them from persecution by the countries on the mainland."

"Two months ago, following the guidance of the treasure, I came here and learned the origin of this plague."

"Black Rock City, an ordinary farmer's family, has a pair of twin daughters, the elder sister is named Amy, and the younger sister is named Ellie."

“Although life is hard, we can barely get by.”

"It's just that when the two girls were eighteen, an accident happened."

"Sister Amy suddenly awakened and became a witch. On the day of awakening, all the weeds within a hundred meters grew by dozens of centimeters, and the big trees in winter sprouted branches and even bore fruit."

"The lord of Black Rock City found out about this and immediately took control of his sister Amy."

"However, he did not follow the laws of the Statir Kingdom and send his sister Amy to the Divine Punishment House, which is the institution for arresting witches in the Statir Kingdom. Instead, he imprisoned his sister Amy privately. "

"And the reason is naturally because of my sister Amy's extremely special magical talent - healing."

"Any disease, any injury, sister Amy can treat it."

"The lord of Black Rock City arrested Amy's parents and her sister to threaten her sister Amy to work for him, and he killed all the farmers who knew about it, leaving no one behind, and told the news completely Sealed."

"Then he started selling 'miracle medicine' that could cure any disease,"

"Amy, who has just awakened, only has one level of magic power, but the pills made from her magic power mixed with medicinal materials can even heal the injuries of level four professionals in a short time. This effect has exceeded that of most people in the world. The magic potions, those that cannot be surpassed, are the supreme treasures that no fourth-level professional is qualified to touch in this life. "

"Because the 'miraculous medicine' is only valid for three days, the person seeking the medicine must come to Black Rock City in person and take the 'miraculous medicine' under the witness of the lord of Black Rock City."

"Thanks to this, the Lord of Blackstone Town has seized unimaginable wealth, and with this wealth, he has pushed his own strength to the limit of the fourth level."

"Originally, if that was all it was, it would be nothing."

"It's nothing more than a story about a witch being persecuted."

"Although I am angry, I also know that I alone cannot save most of the witches."

"But!"

There was anger in the Crimson Witch's voice: "After the Lord of Black Rock City reached the fourth level limit, not only was he not satisfied, but he became even more greedy."

"In order to reach the legend, he studied all kinds of evil things, and thus seriously injured himself. Every time he was injured, he needed to take 'magic medicine'."

"As for sister Amy's magic power, even if she keeps taking recovery potions all the time, she can't satisfy the greed of the lord of Black Rock City under such squandering conditions."

"So, the Lord of Black Rock City actually started bleeding directly."

"The 'magic medicine' made from sister Amy's blood is more effective, but the price is that sister Amy's body is weakened that is difficult to recover from."

"But even when things got to this point, my sister Amy still didn't resist, for the sake of her parents and for the sake of her sister Ellie."

"Years of swallowing recovery potions allowed my sister Amy to reach the third level without anyone noticing. Thanks to this, her magic perception was greatly expanded, and as a result, she saw her tragic death. His parents were not far away from the prison, and his sister Ellie was tortured to a state of disgrace.”

"Because sister Amy's magic power could not satisfy the greed of the lord of Black Rock City, he decided to turn to his sister Ellie."

"After all, as twins, if my sister Ellie can awaken, it is very likely that she will also have similar talents."

"I don't know where he got the news, saying that the death of a close relative can trigger the awakening of the witch."

"So, the Lord of Blackstone City brutally tortured his parents to death in front of his sister Ellie."

"Sister Ellie has awakened, but it is not a healing talent, but a corrosive attack talent. This disappointed the Lord of Black Rock City. He once wanted to use humiliation to calm his inner anger. However, my sister Ellie's talent is so weird that it not only corrodes the environment, but also the people who touch her body. Moreover, this kind of erosion cannot be cured even by 'magic medicine'. As a result, her sister Ellie is protected from humiliation. But he suffered a more terrible beating.”

"The expansion of my sister Amy's magic power connected with my sister, and a terrifying mutation occurred."

"My sister Ellie's magical talent has undergone unprecedented changes."

"The simple erosion talent gave rise to the plague talent, and started from the body of the prison guard and began to spread to the entire Black Rock City."

"This plague not only infected everyone, but even the two sisters who were the source of the plague were not spared."

"My sister Amy was able to wake up because of her healing talent. After I rescued her, I learned the cause and effect, but my sister was in a state of near-death due to the plague."

"If the plague cannot be lifted, both of them will definitely die."

"So, I stayed and looked for a cure."

"As the source of the plague, if there is a place where the cure is most likely to be found, it is here."

"It's a pity that there is very little progress now."
