When Moore took out the bottle, a faint smell spread in the living room.
The smell is not so much the stench of corpse decay, but rather something decayed and sealed, and then moldy and fermented for many years, which has accumulated for a long time. Even if there is only a trace left, the mages on the scene frowned. Some even retched, and their faces were very ugly.
To tell you the truth, mages are not an easy and elegant profession. All the people present often use the organs of magical creatures when they do magic experiments. The smell of rotten viscera doesn't make these mages behave so badly, but it's not the same as the common stench. It seems to go over their nose, It directly stimulates people's brain and soul, and makes all the people present feel disgusted sincerely.
This is the taste of chaos, which is incompatible with the life of all order, and is inherently hostile to each other.
"Thanks to President Tono chadamas, all members of our third research group do not have to be involved in the vortex of the imperial capital, and can continue our research in the north with ease."
Because the mage's face was getting worse and worse, Moore took back the bottle in his hand. When he spoke, he looked solemn and didn't mean to joke: "but this doesn't mean that we can be perfunctory at will. As you can see, this is our task now - some unknown chaotic plague."
"We have to solve this problem as soon as possible."
At this point, the white haired old mage could not help straightening his back. He recalled the scene when he went to the dungeon of St. Lauren's Cathedral with Joshua.
Under the leadership of bishop atannis, the leader of the church, the three of them opened the tightly sealed dungeon gate through a lot of magic blockade. At the moment when the gate was opened, a strong smell that was enough to make people directly comatose came to their faces.
However, whether it is Joshua, Moore or atannis, they are all experienced in many battles and have experienced the existence of a sea of corpses. This taste is nothing at all.
"Maybe I didn't burn it up last time. It seems that all the heretics have turned into hotbeds for plague propagation."
Some uncomfortable raised eyebrows, Joshua narrowed his eyes, eyes swept the corner of the dungeon, he whispered: "has become a nest of chaos."
"After that, the dungeon needs a thorough purification. I want to clean it thoroughly."
Atannis also looked at the corner, along the Bishop's disgusted line of sight, can see there is a slow spread of black mold, and this mold in every corner of the dungeon has left spots.
The old bishop managed to hold back his hand and use magic to purify their impulse. He whispered to himself, "I haven't sampled yet. Now I'll keep you."
During this period, Moore didn't speak, but his face was a little more heavy. Because he really didn't want to stay in such a place, the three men quickened their pace and headed for the deepest part of the dungeon.
Along the way, the pyroxene lamp, which had been bright all the time, became dim because the black mold had covered the surface of the lamp. Although the magic array could still work, it was obviously slow because of the obstacles.
Soon, the crowd came to the deepest part of the dungeon, the oval cell hall.
"Roar!"
"Hiss!"
A non-human roar came from the dark cell. It was shrill and noisy, which was not the normal creature could make. After hearing these sounds, atannis could not help sighing deeply. He started the array cleanly. In an instant, compared with the beginning, the dim positive energy light lit up the whole hall.
Because of this light, Joshua and others clearly see that there are no half human like creatures in the cell where the heretics were originally imprisoned. Behind the double-layer seal railings, monsters with twisted and eccentric features are screaming and suffering from the light of positive energy.
They have different shapes. The only thing they have in common is that they don't look like human beings at all. These strange monsters have swollen limbs, or they are covered with clumps of randomly growing sarcomas. There are strange cracks in their bodies, and the rich black juice is splashing along the cracks, emitting the stench of decay and fermentation.
"These are the sources of the plague... The plague cults from far south, their body tissues and black water are the plague carriers I call melanosis, which can be used as samples."
While talking to the old mage, Joshua gathered a hot air like a little sun in the palm of his hand. The atmosphere was twisted by the extremely high heat. He looked at the group of demons dancing behind the cell with an unhappy look on his face, and said faintly: "if you take samples earlier, you can destroy these disgusting things earlier. Chaotic creatures are twisted stacks, This is especially true of the hands of pestilence evil spirits. They can't bear to stay in this world for more than half a second. ""Naturally."
Moore didn't talk much. To be honest, it was the first time he saw such twisted, nightmarish monsters, each of which was uglier than the demons in the abyss.
Just in front of the old mage, in the cell opposite him, there was an irregular meatball full of swelling and sarcomas. On those sarcomas, there were sharp teeth like eels, big mouths, and smelly juice. The meatball trembled and wriggled from time to time. Moore swore that he was really disgusted by the scene.
The process of sampling is relatively simple, that is to store the body tissues of these monsters in sealed white crystal bottles, and use magic to ensure their activity. After sampling and saving for each chaotic creature, Joshua and atannis will stay in the dungeon and purify them one by one. Moore will rush back to the living room after confirming that he is not infected with plague, Explain the main points of this mission to other mages.
"It's a terrible thing. It's different from the flu and other diseases you've studied in the past. You have to be on your guard. You can't afford to be careless about it."
Seeing that there seemed to be a slight contempt for the plague in the eyes of some mages present, Moore could not help but emphasize that his tone was more serious than ever: "if someone is accidentally infected with the plague, and then we haven't developed a vaccine or a corresponding treatment for the time being... Believe me, I swear by my name, I will never leave the slightest feeling to wipe you out completely. "
For this reason, it's almost a threat. However, all the mages present are smart people. Although some of them are powerful and don't care much, they are still vigilant under Moore's direct warning.
After all, most of the mages in the third kind of research room are Moore's students or younger generation. Only a few of them can be regarded as collaborators. The old mages have a high prestige. Under his leadership, these mages quickly determined the following schedule and the precautions in the experiment.
As there is no perfect laboratory in the main city of Moldavia, they will set out immediately and go to Lindenberg college in the snow capped mountains of Nicaea, where the nearby laboratory can carry out the research on chaos plague.
Of course, they will definitely go to the college to work as a part-time teacher of the magic school for free in the middle of the journey, so as to contribute to the cultivation of a new generation of casters in Moldavia. You know, all the people present are at least high-level masters of silver, and they have rich knowledge. Their teaching skills are many times better than those of wild mages, It can perfectly solve the problem of temporary shortage of teachers in lindongbao college.
To tell you the truth, if it wasn't for Joshua's solution to the problem of erebos' box and the instructions of Nostradamus, the cost of each appearance of the mages of the Royal mages' Association would be enough to make a little nobleman feel painful, let alone a dozen people going to be teachers in turn.
As he had already said hello to Joshua and others before leaving the dungeon, Moore was ready to take people away directly. He had several plague samples in his hand, and St. Lauren's church would keep an additional one. If necessary, they could send it back at any time. They had nothing to do to stay in St. Lauren's Cathedral. It was better to start work early.
So, under the guidance of Draenor, the black haired priest, more than a dozen mages went to the church teleport.
And in the middle of the road, they met the paladin who was in a hurry under the leadership of Ying and Lin.
"Good day, Mr. loranda."
The young priest stopped, saluted the Golden Knight respectfully and said, "is your trial going well?"
"Good day, little Delano."
At the beginning, loranda's expression looked very dull. It seemed that it was full of anger. After Delano said hello to him, the paladin barely squeezed out a smile, and then whispered: "it's not smooth. They've just been bewitched for less than a few days. They don't know anything and can't ask anything. They're the pieces that confuse our judgment."
After a few words of conversation, they told each other goodbye.
On the way to the teleportation array, Moore first noticed that the direction of the paladin was the corridor leading to the dungeon of St. Lauren's church, and then he slowly recalled the identity of the other side——
——It seems that he is the most powerful paladin of the new generation of the seven God church, a genius who can feel the edge of his will when he is less than 30 years old, and the Godson of the contemporary Pope, Loranda!
Why is he here?
In addition to the old mage, other mages have found this point one after another. When the paladin's figure disappeared around the corner, all kinds of whispers appeared in the procession: "wait a minute, isn't it loranda who just walked past?"
"How can he be here? It's the northern part of the country. It's a whole continent away from the holy mountain of the distant sea!"
"Yes, I was wondering why the church did not send a new generation of representatives to the mission. Instead, it sent a grand nun of the order of Granden. Unexpectedly, he was in Moldavia in the North!"At this point, all the people present pause, many people frown, as if thinking.
"Does the imperial family have any secret plans with the church recently?"
A mage guessed in a low voice: "more than two weeks have passed since the celebration of the early spring. The envoys of all countries have left, but the church envoys are still in the imperial capital. From time to time, they will visit the emperor alone... Now, loranda is in the north again... We are just sent here to deal with chaos plague."
It's really easy to imagine. All of a sudden, everyone's expression can't help but get serious. Their task may not be simply to deal with the plague, but may have a deeper meaning
