Old Jock was tied tightly to the chair, and his whole body kept shaking and exerting force. His hands and feet were worn out by the ropes, and he was still struggling. His eyes continued to turn dark red from red, blood flowed down his eyes and his cheeks, and his teeth kept sizzling.

"Why...you have everything...women...families...and families...and children..."

"I...I have nothing...I, nothing...I don't want to be a gravekeeper..."

"I'm so hungry, so hungry, eat you... I want to eat..."

Old Jock's eyes were no longer focal, and he was talking unconsciously. These words might have been hidden in his heart, but they were afraid to say them because of timidity and cowardice. After the consciousness dissipated, only memory and affected instinct remained.

Tucker bandaged the wound, pointed at Old Jock in horror and panic and said, "What's wrong with him? He's crazy? What's going on?"

Edward checked Old Jock's body and lifted Old Jock's trouser legs. He immediately found that there were traces of bitten on his calf. The bitten area left a row of clear tooth marks, and the surroundings were black and turned outward, which made people feel very disgusting.

Edward answered Tucker's question without replying: "He's dead!"

Tucker pointed blankly at the still moving, and said to the old Jock who was drooling around everyone, "How is that possible? He... isn't he still alive?"

Edward shook his head: "This is just an illusion. He is dead. Although there is no problem on the surface, his body is in a strange state between death and life. His breathing and heartbeat can still be maintained, but he should not be alive. I can feel that he is dead."

"Why is such a strange situation? What kind of witchcraft is this? I have never heard of it or seen it. Is it a new witchcraft?"

Edward was extremely puzzled. He was a student of the Wizard Tower, a formal student of the second-generation controller of the tower and the founder of the blood wizard. He had the largest library and knowledge base in the entire Maria world and the most comprehensive witchcraft inheritance in the entire Alan Continent. He could not see the origin and inheritance of this witchcraft. I am afraid that few people in the whole world could see it.

Edward grabbed Tucker's palm: "It's useless to bandage, toxins have spread to your body through the wound."

Tucker jumped up suddenly: "What?"

He looked at Edward with a pair of panicked eyes: "You...you mean...I'm poisoned?"

Edward nodded and spread his hands: "Isn't this very obvious?"

Tucker swallowed and looked at Edward: "What will happen?"

Edward nodded at Old Jock. Everyone immediately looked at Old Jock who turned into a ghoul. Tucker immediately saw the Adam's apple trembling, and everyone could clearly hear the sound of swallowing.

Tucker suddenly fell to Edward's face: "No, Mr. Edward, I don't want to become this ghost, I don't want to become such a monster, please save me, save me, you can do whatever you want me to do."

Edward frowned and looked at Old Jock: "Although I haven't figured out what kind of monster this is, looking at the wound and what he said before, Old Jock was bitten about six or seven days ago, which means we have less than a week left."

"This toxin should not mainly target living people. You can see that after Old Chok's death, this toxin became more active and spread rapidly throughout the body. Old Chok did not have any abnormal situation before."

Tucker immediately said, "So what did Old Jock die!"

"Although it is not entirely targeted at the living, it is also highly poisonous and is still irresistible to ordinary people. I need to extract the blood of Old Jock. You also need to help me investigate some things, including the identity of the corpse sent here, the place of death and various information, how many corpses have been missing..."

Edward happened to take advantage of this opportunity to serve the city guards, mobilize all their strength, and serve his own requirements and arrangements. He has no support in this city of Babs, and the Wizard Tower has no power and foundation here. The gathering point of the wizards in the Kingdom of Mara is also very far away from here. At present, he can only rely entirely on himself.

At night in Edward's temporary residence, Edward used the wizard's experimental equipment to analyze the blood of Old Jock. Viruses and cells are different. For wizards, it is also a very novel topic that has recently been discovered. It is an organic species between living organisms and non-living organisms that rely on parasitic life. It is neither a living organism nor a living organism.

Through the mechanism of infection, these simple organisms can use the host's cellular system to replicate themselves, but cannot grow and replicate independently. Viruses can infect almost all living organisms with cellular structures.

Edward could observe that Old Chock's blood was infected with a certain virus. Its infection mechanism only corresponds to the dead and spreads very quickly. If the host is not dead, it will not initiate the infection mechanism. However, even if this infection mechanism is not activated, the toxins after being bitten invade the blood and can easily die.

Moreover, the form of this virus cell is somewhat similar to that of mythical cells, which makes Edward able to determine that the source of this virus must have come from wizards, and wizards who can transplant extraordinary bloodlines are rare on the Alan Continent, and most of them are registered in the tower.

"Is it the person I met before?" Edward immediately remembered the two mysterious figures who were suspected of wizards he met during the day.

Edward had no way to kill this virus, but when it had not spread, there was still a way to find a way to remove this virus from the living body. Edward is sure that not one or two or two or three people in the entire city of Babs have been infected with this virus. If he was not fast enough, he might be the next person who saw the city of Babs, and everyone in the city of Babs, would turn into monsters like Old Jock.

Edward was very anxious and conducted many experiments on the ghoul virus overnight. Finally, he found some targeted methods and developed a potion to clean up the virus from infected people who had not yet spread.

This highly focused work was carried out all night long. Edward felt a little confused in his head. He stood up, but found that the test tube of the antidote agent that had just been prepared was taken off the long stand on the table by a slender palm.

"I did a very good job, a very talented wizard. It took such a short time to develop a poison-removing agent. Although it is still a bit rough, it is enough to use it."

Edward, who was standing beside him, was stunned. The man had invaded him for a long time, but he had not found any trace of the other party. It seemed that he had been by his side for a long time. As long as he took action before, he might not even know how he died. Thinking of this, Edward suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back.

The moment Edward found the other party, he fell to the ground and slapped it on the ground. He saw the stone bricks made of stones immediately decomposed like mud and sand, and then combined them into stone guns again, and shot towards the other party. Edward didn't even look at the result, but turned over and ran out of the door.

Lu Zhiyu wiped the air with his fingers, and saw stone guns being erased in the air. Then, from the surrounding and four walls of the house, all the stone structures quickly decomposed, condensed huge palms, quickly grasping Edward, and the palms condensed from layers of stones were slapped Edward on the wall.

"I admit defeat, I admit defeat, I surrender."

Edward screamed in fear. Lu Zhiyu, who was about to give him some punishment, immediately stopped: "You can do it, you can act as fast as lightning, and you can escape from your life and move like a rabbit. It's not bad to ask for forgiveness."

Edward was pressed to death by several layers of stones on the wall and said with a wry smile: "Didn't I not recognize you? I must have been shocked when you suddenly appeared in front of me."

Lu Zhiyu looked at Edward jokingly: "Do you know who I am?"

Edward immediately said: "What I transplanted is the blood of the Earth Bear, which can control the transformation between soil, rocks, and sand. The transplant of this bloodline power was just developed. At present, only I can do it. Even my mentor, Boer Clermo, could not use it. He can use extraordinary witchcraft at will. He is still so powerful. There is only one person. Anthony, the founder of the Wizard Tower. My teacher Boer is your student. I heard him talk about your appearance, but he has not recognized it before."

Edward never thought that he would meet this legendary sage, the origin of the wizard, and the legendary powerful man whose power is close to the gods. Although he looked very calm, sweat could still be seen flowing down Edward's forehead.

Lu Zhiyu took a chair and sat in front of Edward. Edward was slapped on the wall like a prisoner, unable to move, and looked at Lu Zhiyu awkwardly, but did not dare to beg him to let him go.

"I'm going to pass by the Kingdom of Mara. Your teacher Boer gets rid of me and I'll take care of you, but I didn't expect you to accept the task of your mentor and set off a month ago. It was so late to arrive."

Edward immediately said: "That's because I heard news about my senior Adenos halfway, so when I went to investigate, it took a long time to go."

Lu Zhiyu's eyes flashed: "Adnos Pole had driven out another student from the tower before, are you very familiar with him?"

Edward nodded: "I found out that he appeared in the Kerville Public and followed him all the way, but in the end he was not found. Although he was expelled from the tower by the teacher, the teacher was very angry with his behavior, but Teacher Boer still cared about him very much. I hope he could persuade him to return to the tower."

Lu Zhiyu laughed: "The Forbidden Land of the Principality of Kelville, the underground level of the Northland Wasteland was once the base camp of Levith, and the Knights of the Night Owl were also born there. In a sense, the existence of the Knights of the Night Owl is similar to the ghouls you have seen before."

Edward frowned: "Ghost? Is it the name of the monster before? It's really appropriate! Mr. Anthony, what's going on in Babs City? Do you know this?"

When Edward talked about this, he looked at Lu Zhiyu hesitantly, worried that the mastermind behind this matter was Lu Zhiyu. Lu Zhiyu looked at Edward: "I know a little, but this is a task assigned to you by your mentor, and it is also a trial. I am not going to help you, and I will leave the Kingdom of Mara immediately after dawn, so your idea of ​​helping me can be dispelled."
