Chapter 210 The Dawn of Achieving the "Ritual of Sloth"

On the roof of the building, Ryan listened to the story of the Scarlet Witch, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

As victims, both elder sister Amy and younger sister Ellie had a tragic fate, and the Blackstone City Lord who caused their tragic fate deserved to be cut into pieces.

But as ordinary people, the thousands of Blackstone City people are essentially just victims.

It is meaningless to discuss who is right and who is wrong now.

Ryan is not a saint, and it sounds a bit cold-blooded, but in fact, he didn't know any of the Blackstone City people who died of the plague, so naturally he was not moved. At most, he had some humanitarian sympathy in his heart, that's all.

He had a general understanding of the cause and effect, so...

"Sir Scarlet, you have been staying here for a while, the purpose is to find a solution to this plague, so, do you have any clues now?"

Faced with Ryan's question, Scarlet Witch shook her head: "To be honest, there is no progress."

"Plague is not something that can be solved by strength. Even if the demigods have the ability to delay the progress of the plague for the people of the city, if there is no cure, in the end, they can only watch them die."

"That's why I suggested that you stay."

"'Rare things' are too rare. It's too late to rush to find them when you need them."

"If you can solve the plague on little Amy, then, with her special magic Talent, even if it cannot completely heal the wound of damaged origin, can make the wound on Frenie recover as much as possible. Compared with the illusory "rare things", this method is more realistic. "

"In fact, with my strength, it is enough to suppress the plague on Little Amy for a long time, but in this way, her magic power will not improve any more, and her sister, Little Ellie, as the source of the plague, will be in danger of her life if I suppress it..."

The Scarlet Witch did not finish her words, but Ryan already understood what she meant - if the plague could not be solved in the end, then she could also let Little Amy treat Frenie, but in this way, she would be infected with the plague and her magic power would be extremely limited, and the effect of the treatment would be greatly reduced.

Although it is better to have it than not, it would be best if Little Amy could treat Frenie in a healthy state.

Moreover, as the owner of the Witch Island, if there is a chance, the Scarlet Witch wants to save her sister and sister together.

Realizing this, Ryan felt relieved. After all, he had a safety net, so he was relatively calm.

After thinking for a moment, Ryan said, "Mr. Scarlet, you just said that little... ahem, Miss Amy was not completely infected by the plague because of her own magical talent, and she was able to maintain a certain degree of sobriety."

"Can you take me to meet her?"

"According to my idea, the plague came from the two of them, so if we want to find a solution, we can't do without their talents."

Hearing this, Scarlet Witch nodded: "Follow me."

Under her leadership, the two of them came to a very ordinary wooden house outside the city, one after the other.

This village has been empty because of the plague, and little Amy, who was rescued by Scarlet Witch, has temporarily settled here.

A faint smell of burning permeated the air. Obviously, the residents here spontaneously burned a fire not long ago, but the effect can only be said to be useless.

Following the Scarlet Witch into the wooden house, Ryan saw a girl in a gray-white dress sitting quietly on a wooden chair, with her hands resting lightly on her thighs.

Because she had not seen the sun for many years before being rescued, the girl's skin was sickly white and her figure was thin, giving people a very weak feeling.

However, all these external appearances changed completely after seeing her eyes.

What kind of eyes are those?

Gentle, but sad.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl sitting on the chair raised her eyes, and a faint arc appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Mr. Scarlet, you are back."

"Sorry, I have troubled you."

The Scarlet Witch shook her head and said nothing.

"Who is this?"

At this time, the girl noticed the young man following the Scarlet Witch and asked with some surprise.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ryan Rayland."

"Miss Amy, I was entrusted by Lord Scarlet to help solve the plague."

Hearing this, the girl sighed slightly and looked at the Scarlet Witch:

"Lord Scarlet, although you have never said it, I know that a big shot like you has your own things to do, and the empire has been hunting down witches. It is not safe for you to stay here for a long time."

"I have troubled you a lot during this period. It is really unnecessary..."

Before the girl finished speaking, the Scarlet Witch raised her hand to interrupt the girl and looked at Ryan and said, "If you want to know anything, just ask directly."

Seeing that Lord Scarlet ignored her, the girl pursed her lips.

Ryan walked closer and looked at the girl in the gray and white dress: "Miss Amy, you don't have to worry."

"Although it is a bit arrogant to say this, if the Stateir Empire does not use the foundation of the country, it is impossible to keep us."

Amy blinked when she heard this, but did not speak.

After mentioning this, Ryan didn't say anything more, but asked about things related to the plague.

"Miss Amy, can you tell me all the information you know so far about this plague? Although Lord Scarlet has already told me roughly, I want to know, from your perspective, what is this The whole picture of the plague.”

"Plague..." The girl's tone was a little complicated. She paused for a few seconds, as if she was organizing her words, and then spoke softly:

"Mr. Lane."

"You must also know that the source of the plague is my sister Ellie."

"Due to special changes, she has become the source of the plague and is spreading the plague to the outside world all the time."

"I have tried treatment, but perhaps because we are sisters, my treatment has a very poor effect on this plague. On the other hand, even though I suffered a large number of infections from the source of the plague, I have not died. The plague has no effect on me. My results are also greatly reduced.”

Ryan was thinking and suddenly found a question and asked: "Where is your sister Ellie?"

In his perception, there was no third magical aura in this wooden house or nearby, indicating that Ellie was not here.

"She can't move." The magnetic voice of the Scarlet Witch came from the side: "Because after the mutation became the source of the plague, once little Ellie's body is touched or moved, the plague will be emitted. The more factors become involved, the more critical her situation becomes."

"Therefore, Ellie is still in the underground prison of the Lord's Mansion in Black Rock City."

"With her body as the center, within a radius of 100 meters, is the outbreak area of ​​the plague. Once a professional under the legend steps into it, he will immediately be infected with the highly acute plague and die in a very short period of time."

"Even legends are not completely immune."

"In this case, no one dares to approach her, and I have left magic clones around, so there is no need to worry about safety."

The Scarlet Witch's explanation made Ryan understand.

He looked at the girl sitting on the chair in front of him and said softly: "Miss Amy, can you take some of your blood and let me observe it."

"For the plague, if we want to find a solution, we need to conduct deeper observations."

As a person from Blue Star in his previous life, Ryan's thinking is quite different from that of the aborigines of this world.

Talking about thinking may not be very accurate. It should be said that we can have different perspectives when looking at plagues and other issues.

For example, once a plague occurs in this world, doctors will usually take action. If they fail, priests will try to solve it with magical or secret techniques.

If you get to this point and still have no effect, then you can only leave it to fate.

But Blue Star is different.

Various terrible plagues have also occurred on Blue Star.

Among them, smallpox is a representative plague.

Although it is currently a disease that is clearly eliminated by most countries in Blue Star, as a terrible plague that has accompanied human civilization for three to four thousand years, smallpox has been a nightmare for countless people for a long time.

The process of eradicating smallpox is of great reference significance.

Ryan knew very well that finding a cure for the plague was inherently unreliable. The best way to deal with the plague was to allow the human body to spontaneously produce antibodies.

Of course, because the world is different, Ryan doesn't know what the specific principle of the plague here is, so he needs to experiment before he can be sure.

The reason why little Amy's blood is needed is because she is currently the only one who has the ability to resist the plague.

If the mechanism of the plague is similar to that of Blue Star, then the antigen of the plague will be extracted from her blood!

Amy had no intention of resisting the blood draw.

Even if she had been hurt by it.

But she knew better that unlike the Lord of the Blackstone Territory, Lord Crimson would not harm her, and for the same reason, Mr. Ryan brought by Lord Crimson would not harm her.

Although she didn't know Mr. Lane's specific strength, Amy guessed that Mr. Lane was at least above the level of a legend. For such a being, her own blood would have no effect on him.

She took out the knife she carried with her and lightly cut her finger. Soon, a small bottle containing ten drops of blood was handed to Ryan by Amy.

"Here you go, Mr. Lane."

Looking at the girl who was still smiling in front of him and her pale face, Ryan felt complicated.

He took the blood bottle and nodded vigorously towards the girl: "Don't worry, I will try my best to come up with a solution to the plague."

Then, Ryan looked at the Scarlet Witch beside him: "Lord Scarlet, could you please take me to see Miss Ellie?"

“The more you know, the easier it is to come up with solutions.”

The Scarlet Witch nodded, her eyes very calm.

Although she asked Ryan to help find a solution, she actually didn't have much hope.

During her stay in Black Rock City, she tried every method, but the best progress was only to suppress the plague and slightly extend the time for patients to die.

Of course, since Ryan has this enthusiasm, she will not attack him.

This young man's body was shrouded in a layer of fog. Thinking of the words mentioned in Serena's "last words" left to her, the Crimson Witch's eyes flashed a little.

Maybe he can bring hope?

In this way, Ryan followed the Crimson Witch all the way to the Lord's Mansion of Black Rock City.

There is no legend in Blackstone City right now. After all, legends are not a big deal. Even in the Kingdom of Statir, there are only a few legends in total.

Of course, with such a serious plague occurring, the Kingdom of Statir could not remain indifferent. Outside Blackstone City, there was a "newly legendary" knight guarding the city to prevent riots by those infected by the plague.

It's just the strength of a "first-time legend". In the eyes of Ryan and the Crimson Witch, it is really not worth mentioning.

The legend couldn't even detect the aura of the two of them.

After swaggering into the underground prison of the Lord's Mansion in Black Rock City, Ryan immediately felt the difference in the environment.

If the plague factor concentration in the outside world is 1, then it is at least 10 or more here, and as the underground prison goes deeper, this value is still rising rapidly.

Ryan frowned slightly, but said nothing. He just followed the Scarlet Witch silently to the depths of the prison and saw his sister Ellie.

She was lying quietly on the ground. If it weren't for the pool of dark green mud underneath her, she would look no different from an ordinary girl.

There are still scars on the exposed skin, which shows the torture Ellie suffered in the past.

Ryan sighed in his heart, and then, under the surprised gaze of the Scarlet Witch, he stepped within a hundred meters of Ellie, and dispersed the blood barrier on his body, facing the plague factor directly with his own body.

Ryan did this not because he wanted to die, but because he had his own plan.

First of all, his [Physique] is very strong, much stronger than a legend in the general sense. After all, the legendary professionals in this world, even at the legendary limit, rely on spirituality rather than physical fitness.

Furthermore, during his travels around the world, Ryan had already tried it himself. Thanks to the blessing of various special skills, Gray Corrosion, the terrible disease that spreads around the world, was unable to have an effect on him.

In the same way, although the plague here is terrible, it does not reach the level of gray rot, and the possibility of it having an effect on him is very slim.

The most important thing is that if you don’t experience the plague yourself, you have no right to speak.

As the blood barrier dissipated, more intense plague factors attacked Ryan's body within a hundred meters.

After waiting for almost three minutes, Ryan's eyes flashed.

really!

As he expected, the plague had no effect on him.

Thanks to the dual perception extended by his strong body and spirituality, Ryan could clearly sense that the plague factors that invaded his body were, to a certain extent, pathogens. At most, they were pathogens with strange magical powers.

In this way, it will be much easier to handle!

Ryan continued to move forward, came to Ellie's side, and took some dark green plague fluid. If he was not worried about Ellie's condition getting worse, he even wanted to take some of Ellie's blood.

After doing this, Ryan turned to look at the Scarlet Witch: "Lord Scarlet, let's go, I already have some ideas."

The Scarlet Witch didn't quite understand how Mr. Lane had such an idea for such a simple visit, but this did not prevent her from nodding silently.

Not long after, the two returned to Amy's cabin.

Looking for a random house, Ryan locked himself up and started experimenting.

In the room, Ryan's eyes were focused and serious.

Thanks to his own strength, his experiments did not require precise instruments. After all, his spirituality and physical strength allowed him to achieve an accuracy that most precision instruments could not achieve.

Under his spiritual control, the pathogenic fluid came into contact with Amy's blood. From a more microscopic perspective, Amy's blood was killing the pathogenic fluid crazily, but at the same time, Amy's blood was also decreasing.

"There is indeed a relative effect between the two..."

Ryan thought.

Then, he brought his own blood into contact with the pathogenic fluid. To Ryan's expectation, the pathogenic fluid was destroyed the moment it came into contact with his blood, while his blood was only slightly damaged.

"A bit overbearing..."

"You still have to try..."

After thinking about it, Ryan went out and returned shortly.

In his hands, there were two more comatose plague-infected people.

There is not much else in Blackstone City right now, but the number of people infected with the plague is the largest.

More than ten hours later, in the small room, Ryan looked at the patient in front of him with excitement in his eyes.

After a series of operations, he finally experimented with the most suitable "vaccine".

On a chair not far away, my sister Amy was panting, with a faint red color appearing on her pale face.

It's tiring.

After all, with her magic power, she could heal continuously for most of the day, even if she had a sufficient supply of potions, she would be exhausted.

In the middle of the experiment, Ryan called Amy over. With the help of her healing magic talent, the progress of the experiment could be greatly improved.

With a clear method and effective "antigen" in place, the progress of the trial is astonishingly fast.

Ryan's blood and Amy's blood were blended in a certain proportion and then injected into a patient's body in a very small amount. Under the influence of Amy's healing talent, the rejection reaction was cured, and the patient's body used this "template" "As a reference, start large-scale copying.

Now, according to Ryan's observation, there is no trace of plague factor in this patient's body.

Unfortunately, the mixed blood of the two was still too overbearing.

This patient, who was just an ordinary person, couldn't bear it. Although the plague factor was removed from his body, his life was about to end.

Ryan was helpless about this.

Although this is cruel, those who contract the plague will definitely die.

And his death will bring more hope in life.

At the end of his life, the male patient woke up and lay quietly, enjoying a rare comfortable time.

After contracting the plague, he suffered day and night.

When Ryan asked him if he had any wishes, the man just shook his head.

His family had already died in the plague, and he, who was left alone, had long lost hope of living.

At this moment, he was already very satisfied.

In the end, the man died.

Before he died, Ryan took out part of the man's blood and highly diluted it.

"Antigen" is already there, and the next step is the dilution ratio.

After sacrificing two more people, Ryan finally came up with a suitable ratio and created the first "plague vaccine" that ordinary humans can bear.

Looking at the liquid emitting soft blood light in front of him, Ryan's heart surged.

With this thing, the plague will be solved. Although many seriously ill patients will still die, some people will still survive, which is enough.

More importantly, his sister Ellie will also be saved.

Suddenly, Ryan's mind moved and he thought of his "laziness ritual".

——Sloth Ritual: Drive others to complete a "big event" that everyone is paying attention to.

There are more than tens of thousands of plague infected people in Black Stone City right now?

If it is done properly, it is possible to complete your own Sloth Ritual!

Ryan's eyes are shining brighter.

He never thought that the opportunity to complete his Sloth Ritual would be here.

It can only be said that fate is always unpredictable.

When Ryan showed the "plague vaccine" to the Scarlet Witch and briefly explained the principle, the world's strongest witch was so shocked that her cherry lips opened slightly unconsciously.

She thought that Ryan might bring hope.

But she never thought that this hope would come so quickly.

So fast that she was caught off guard.
