Chapter 526 Parasitism
The red moon hangs high in the sky.
Moya Manor, meeting room.
The curtains in the hall were not drawn, and through the glass, one could see the blood moon in the sky.
The gods and the Pope had not yet arrived, and the archbishops were chatting quietly.
The Cathedral of Holy Light is the nominal center of the Ming Cult, and gods rarely descend upon it.
It should be said that the Moya family's manor is the real center of the church.
Later, as the gods leave the material world, the Cathedral of Holy Light will get the status it deserves.
"Geralt, I heard that a squadron of the Night's Watch was attacked yesterday. Were the losses heavy?"
Janice asked with concern. The Night's Watch and the Silver Dawn are brother forces. With the Night's Watch hunting monsters outside the city, the city is more stable and the Silver Dawn has fewer opportunities to go out.
"No losses. The current situation is that the team members have fallen into a deep sleep and have not woken up no matter how we call them. There is nothing wrong with their bodies, but their spirituality is very weak."
Geralt paused, frowning and saying, "It's very strange. There is no trace at the scene. It shouldn't be a monster, but an evil spirit that can confuse the soul.
We have encountered similar situations before, and the problem could be solved by giving the person who was bewitched a few doses of golden light potion, but this method is no longer effective now.
Yennefer looked at the condition of these people and thought it was the work of the soul-sucking monster. "
"Soul-sucking monster, what is that?"
Janice was surprised. She had read all the church's records about monsters and had never seen any record of this kind of creature.
Geralt was about to answer when he saw two people in moon-white robes walk in. He immediately shut up and stood up.
Janice also saw the person coming. Her spiritual senses felt a little throbbing, and her eyes lit up slightly. She stood up and chanted with the cardinals: "Great God of Light, you are the Lord of the World. You have brought light to the dark world. The holy light shines everywhere, and the glory lasts forever."
Compared to the awkwardness he felt in the previous times, this time Crowne felt much more comfortable listening to it.
"Holy light shines everywhere, and the glory lasts forever."
He responded with a smile and said solemnly:
"I have good news to announce. Pope Eliza advanced to the sixth level of transcendence last night!"
Sure enough, my spiritual perception was correct, Eliza really advanced.
That’s good. I guess the other party won’t look at me with a defensive look anymore, right?
Janice breathed a sigh of relief. She intuitively felt that the Pope always felt a little distant towards her.
Perhaps it was because of her performance on the extraordinary path that made the other party feel that something was out of control, and she was helpless about it.
Now, the other party should not feel that his status will be threatened again by his advancement to a god. There is only one glorious god in the world.
Many people praised her talent, but she was rational enough to know that in front of the gods, her talent was not worth mentioning.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Everyone congratulated him, and Flanders smiled happily and said, "There are more and more high-level extraordinary people in the church, and with the potion developed by our Lord, the church's heritage has been completed.
As time goes by, we will slowly catch up to the level of the other two churches.”
In his heart, the happiest thing is to see his organization grow rapidly stronger.
The skills of the gods have a very obvious restraining effect on the law of pollution, and the skills of the other two churches also have similar effects.
The overall strength of mankind seems to have declined significantly compared to before, but in fact, those who still exist are the elites.
When the holy war breaks out again, he is willing to sacrifice his life and charge to the front line of the battle.
Clown 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 the difficulties.
I plan to open the secret library so that more people with potential can be trained.
You all should work out a charter and recommend more talents."
His plan was to wait until the evil gods came, and then he would hunt them down alone, while the church would defend its existing territory and develop the surrounding areas.
There are two most important things to do now. One is to cultivate more silver-level extraordinary people, and the other is to increase the number of fifth-level and sixth-level extraordinary people.
Clown understood that although the area controlled by the Ming Cult was vast, there were only one and a half places that could truly face the attacks of the evil god without fear.
Shattrath counts as one, and Lorente Town can only count as half.
Most of the Moon Soul Aura Arrays and Sun and Moon Altars in other cities only have one group, and they cannot hold out for long when facing the attack of the evil god and his minions.
The gray fog is thick and new aircraft have not yet been developed, so the support speed will be very slow. In addition, we must be careful not to be surrounded and attacked by the minions of the evil god when we provide support.
In other words, when other cities are attacked, they can only rely on themselves.
Flanders thought for a moment and said, "The high-level extraordinary people of the church are concentrated in the Judgment Hall, the Silver Dawn Guard, the Silver Hand Knights, and the recently established Night Watch.
The heads of our four institutions can discuss and come up with a charter and select a list.”
Clown glanced at the responsible persons and said:
"Hurry up and don't argue over a little bit of profit. We are racing against time now."
His fingers tapped the table, like metal knocking.
“Give me a specific time.”
Flanders discussed with the others for a while, then said, "It can be done in three days."
Clown nodded slightly. "Send it to the Pope for review in three days. Does anyone else have anything important to report?"
"I have."
Geralt stood up and recounted what happened to the Night's Watch team last night, concluding: "Those members are still unconscious, and no one can do anything about their predicament.
Yennefer suspected it was a soul-sucking monster, but I think it was a mutated evil spirit."
"What is a soul-sucking monster? I have never heard of this creature."
Klauen summoned a golden wall, took a quick look, and asked in confusion.
[Magic 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-sucking monster" had never appeared in the knowledge he had browsed.
“Yennefer said that the soul-sucking monster is a creature recorded in the wizard’s forbidden codex, and it appeared at the beginning of the last era.
Wizards believe that these creatures are transformed from living beings after sacrificing to evil gods. They can absorb the souls of living beings without harming their lives.
There are too few records about the Soul-sucking Monster, and she doesn’t know if this creature has any other abilities.”
Clown frowned slightly and asked:
"Where are the unconscious Night Watchmen?"
It is reasonable for him to go and offer condolences. Moreover, he can also learn from the victims what happened last night that caused everyone to be unconscious.
"At Night's Watch headquarters."
"The meeting is over. I'll go with you to see if anyone else has anything to report?"
After the meeting, Crown and Geralt took a carriage to the Night's Watch headquarters.
Crown smiled and asked, "Alan didn't come back with us. Was he attracted by a certain wizard and therefore decided to stay on the island of Sinderi?"
The demon hunter was silent for a moment and sighed softly:
"One night, Allen was in charge of leading his troops to defend the bay. The area he was in was attacked by a sixth-level sea beast, and no one survived.
If I had not chosen to leave Rhine City, Allen would not have died. "
Not only did he treat Allen as his disciple, he also raised him as his son.
Now that Allen has passed away, he feels a sense of desolation as an old man sending off a young man.
Crown sighed, lamenting that things and people had changed completely in just a few years.
There was silence in the carriage, and both of them lost interest in conversation.
The demon hunter was sad that he had been wandering for half his life, and in the end he was unable to save his disciple's life.
Arriving at the Night Watch headquarters, Crown saw several victims.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He saw the problem at a glance. There were a large number of white egg-shaped pollutants parasitic on the hearts of these people and were currently in a dormant state.
These pollutants are wrapped in a layer of life force that is exactly the same as that of the victim. In addition, they are extremely small and cannot be detected without the spiritual perception of a god.
Sunfire Liquid and Moon Dew spurted out from his fingertips, spreading an exorcism array pattern on the ground, and then Clown began to drive his divine power.
The magic circle was activated, and the golden and silver rune lines complemented each other.
All the victims were floating in the air, with wisps of black mist seeping out of their bodies. White afterimages flew out and burned silently in the magic circle.
As Klauen continued to mobilize his divine power, the victims turned over and vomited a lot of green juice. The pollutants were vomited out by the victims one after another.
The golden flame of the sun bloomed in the void, igniting the vomit.
Geralt sensed the strong danger hidden in the golden flames of the sun. He waved his hand, asked several doctors to leave, and ran to the door himself.
Judging from the strength of the laws emitted by the golden flames of the sun, if he were accidentally contaminated by it, he would also be destined to be ignited.
Crown created a metal container, collected some living pollutants, sealed it, and then sealed it with divine power, preparing to study it after returning.
After all the victims had stopped vomiting, he checked them carefully again to make sure nothing was missed, and put everyone back on the bed.
Reaching out and grabbing one of them, he released the power of time reversal.
The time travel this person experienced appeared before his eyes.
Soon, he found out what happened.
A grayish-white mist enveloped these people, and they fell unconscious one after another.
Then the mist drifted away.
Crowne speculated that this should be an unknown creature, not mist, that could release parasites on living things.
He picked a few more people and released the time travel function one by one. Then he confirmed that the fog monster was the real murderer.
He walked out of the room and said:
“These people were parasitized by something and became a breeding ground for it. Their spirituality was suppressed, so they fell into a coma.
Now that the parasites have been killed, you can feed them some Golden Light Potion and Heart Cleansing Potion, and these people will probably wake up tomorrow.
Wait for these people to wake up, ask them what happened, and write a detailed report to send to the manor. "
"Yes, sir."
Geralt replied that the power of the gods was unfathomable, and that things that others were helpless to do were easily accomplished.
"I'm going back first."
Crown frowned, this matter was very serious.
For a long time, the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array has isolated the pollution rules, allowing the city to be peaceful.
Now, there are pollutants that have used some mechanism to circumvent the warning and purification power of the magic circle, which greatly increases his vigilance.
His wings spread out behind him, and with a slight flap, he 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 samples.
The white egg is several times smaller than a needle tip and difficult to see with the naked eye, but it cannot escape his divine detection.
He carefully peeled off the life force on the outer layer of an egg and felt the purification law contained in the magic circle begin to take effect on the egg.
The outer layer of the egg quickly faded, and then an amazing scene happened.
The eggs actually began to divide rapidly, and soon the densely packed eggs formed a sphere.
The outer layer of the egg is 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 come out of nothing, right?
Crown burned the outer shell. He wanted to see if there was a limit to the number of times the mother egg could divide.
However, this time, the mother egg was quickly purified by the Taiyin Law, as if it were a highly volatile liquid, and it completely disappeared. He was unable to sense it even with his divine power.
There was no change in the air in the room, as if the egg had evaporated in another dimension, leaving no trace.
Crown felt relieved that the worst had not happened.
It’s not that the magic circle cannot purify the pollutants, but that the pollutants have found a way to circumvent the purifying power.
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 a knight.'
Soon, the butler brought two young men to knock on the alchemist's door.
"Come in."
The butler pushed open the door and walked in, bowing slightly: "Your Majesty, someone has arrived."
Clown nodded slightly and said, "Come, cooperate with me in doing an experiment."
He placed two white eggs on the two people's bodies respectively. The white eggs were like raindrops falling into a lake, penetrating the skin of the two people and reaching the brain with the flow of blood.
Then he lay motionless, lurking.
"You two, start practicing breathing techniques or meditation."
Clown watched the white egg closely and found that as the two of them practiced their skills, the holy power quickly purified the alien life force on the outer layer of the white egg, and the white egg was purified as well.
He used his divine power to carefully examine the bodies of the two men and found nothing unusual, so he felt relieved.
A few parasites cannot cause much damage. Even if they can spread, as long as the extraordinary people do not fall into a coma, they can easily eliminate the source of the parasites by exercising.
As long as you find the fog monster, you can find a way to deal with it or avoid it.
With his mind completely at peace, Crown purified the other parasites with his divine power and then flew away from the manor.
He wanted to try to find this fog-like creature and see what it was, because his database did not contain any description of fog monsters.
When he flew out of the radiation range of the Yuepo Spiritual Light Array, he gathered all his divine power and walked through the gray fog like an ordinary person.
