Chapter five hundred and seventy fifth settlement
"Damn it! We can't use it anymore until we find a solution." After resting against the wall for a while, Leo's face improved a little, but he still felt that his mind was still a little confused and he couldn't help it.
Cursed.
His current situation is very strange. Now his brain thinking is not the kind of chaotic thinking caused by being instilled with a lot of knowledge. His thinking is more like a corroded machine that operates much slower than before. Many of them are in
Issues that he could understand with at least a little thought in the past now require more time to ponder, as if his brain has deteriorated.
Although he knew that this situation was not permanent and should disappear after a while. After all, it was his first time to use the power of the Corpse Collector's Mark, he was still frightened by this situation and made a decision in his mind to remove the disadvantages of the Mark.
Previously, there was no decision to use this power.
"However, it's not a loss after all. This at least saved me a few years of accumulation time." While adapting to the slow reaction of his brain, Leo also checked the condition of his body and saw that the total amount of spiritual energy in his body had increased several times.
times, and this improvement is not over yet, and will continue to improve for some time in the future, until the momentum of this breakthrough weakens. The annoyed expression on his face was relieved, and he smiled.
However, now is not a good time for him to become familiar with the spiritual changes in his body. He has more important things to do, such as preparing medicine that can prevent this plague, or parasitic disaster.
In fact, after Leo checked the physical conditions of the patients through the mental network at the beginning, it was clear that this disaster that looked like a plague had nothing to do with the disease. In fact, it was a reproductive reaction in the body after being parasitized by a spore plant.
, he even had a guess as to the origin of this parasitic spore, but this guess was not confirmed until he saw the treasure hunters who had mutated into trees.
Kajiakajia is the real name of this plant. This name comes from a very similar terrifying monster in the legends of various tribes in the Moissan continent. This monster is said to be able to quietly assimilate other people into monsters and kill these monsters.
The only way is to kill the mother monster.
The early explorers of the Moissan continent scorned such legends of various tribes, thinking that they were just like the bedside stories of other kingdoms, all nonsense to scare children, until they actually met Adoluka.
After adding this plant, I realized that the legend was not false.
All people infected by Kajiakajia will die within a period of time and turn into tree people. During this transformation process, they will continue to emit a kind of spores. This spore is very light and will float with the wind.
It flies in the air until it touches a person, sticks to the skin, and then automatically penetrates into the person's body.
Although the infection effect of this spore cannot be compared with the seeds that Kajiakajia directly infects people, it can still gradually mutate people's bodies into tree people, but there are differences. Those who are extremely strong and even possess extraordinary strength.
A person will only get a serious illness, and then the body's immune system will kill the spores that invade the body, but those with ordinary physical fitness and special systems are not immune.
At that time, explorers on the Moissanite continent did not know the treatment method for this parasitic plant, and almost all the infected people died. The explorers at that time were extremely afraid of Kajiakajia.
Until later, someone discovered that a heart-like fruit grew at the root of each tree that had mutated due to infection. By refining a certain component of this heart fruit, and then using this component with some psychic substances, it was possible to
Create a drug to treat this parasitic spore.
After finding a way to deal with kajikajia, the explorers began to clean up this dangerous plant. In fact, the main force in cleaning up this plant at that time was not the colonists and explorers, but the local tribes, because they all
I have been deeply harmed by this plant and have long hated it. Now that there is an antidote, I will not let go of this plant. So when people from the medical school rushed to save some seeds of this plant, this
The plant has been completely exterminated by local tribes.
Regarding Kajiakajia, Leo read it from a handwriting in the Wizard Tower of Death Valley. The person who discovered the antidote to Kajiakajia was a wizard, but not a tower wizard, just an ordinary person.
A free wizard. I don’t know if it’s because Kaja Kaja has become extinct, but the method of making the Kaja Kaja spore antidote has not been recorded.
Even though Leo now has the main materials for making the antidote, he is not sure whether he can finally make the finished potion. He will need to try again and again to know.
So after his condition recovered a little, he immediately returned to his cabin and began to prepare the antidote.
During this period, the old captain came to see him once, mainly to ask him if there was any solution, because just now another group of sick people were sent to the Shackles Island, and now the blocked dock was crowded with old and sick people.
The captain had to ask the sailors on the ship to connect the small fishing boats that had not had time to sail away, put them on the decks, and create an additional platform.
The old captain knew very well that if this momentum continued, more people would be sent over, and he had no way to solve this problem, so he could only find Leo and ask for help.
Leo was not ambiguous about this matter. He directly told him that he was preparing a treatment potion and asked him to find some auxiliary drugs that needed to be used.
Perhaps he heard something about Leo's ability from old Beren, so the old captain did not express any doubt and immediately went to find the officers and government officials on the island who were responsible for the blockade.
Since the practice of isolating patients still failed to prevent the spread of what they thought was a plague, some people were still found to be sick, so they were a little panicked. Now that they heard that someone had the ability to make treatment potions, it was like they had seized the last lifeline.
Like straw, without thinking too much, he immediately followed the receipts the old captain took out and quickly collected a large amount of the medicinal materials Leo needed.
On the other hand, Leo's process of making therapeutic potions was also not smooth. Because the brain's thinking was affected, some problems that were easily visible in the past now require several failed experiments to be discovered. Others
The refining method that should have been easily discovered took longer to think about. All in all, the disadvantages of using the Corpse Collector's Mark had begun to affect him.
Fortunately, Leo's willpower was very strong and he was not affected by these problems. He still carried out everything in an orderly manner, but it only took a little more time and materials.
After trying nearly thirty times, Leo relied on his rich experience in refining wizard potions to finally make a potion to treat spore parasitism, and asked the old captain to distribute it, and also asked the old captain to inform the person in charge of these matters.
Officers and officials lit large bonfires throughout towns and cities, which purified the air of spores.
With the treatment potions and prevention methods, the sudden outbreak of the plague was naturally extinguished quickly. Although Leo had made the treatment potions in time, there were still some people with weaker systems who were unable to hold on.
About thirty people died in this sudden parasitic plague, the vast majority of whom were elderly people and children on the island. In addition, two passengers on the ship also died.
Although the final elimination of the parasitic plague was inseparable from the people on the Snow Queen, such as Leo who made the medicine, and the sailors who were responsible for assisting the garrison in setting up bonfires in the city, etc., this plague was brought by the Snow Queen after all.
After the incident was calmed down, the mayor, who had been hiding in the official residence, showed up and asked the Snow Queen to leave the Port of Shackles immediately after completing its supplies.
In fact, according to the mayor's wishes, he is more willing to seize the ship, arrest all the people, and hand them over as scapegoats. After all, so many people have died in this plague, and it is a big deal wherever it is placed. Even if the cause of the plague is external, but
As the mayor, he cannot escape this responsibility no matter what.
Unfortunately, the Snow Queen is the private property of Queen Dalyat. Forcing him to seize the Snow Queen or the people on board would be tantamount to declaring war on another country. This kind of responsibility is not something he can afford.
The old captain didn't say anything about the deportation order from Shackles Port. Being able to leave here and get supplies was the best he expected. He even prepared himself to be detained and then redeemed by the Dialiat Consulate.
people's plans.
Compared with the innocuous deportation order of the Port of Shackles, the angry passengers on the ship are the biggest trouble he has to face now. If he does not handle it well, then this matter may even damage the Queen's reputation.
, this is something he never wants to see.
Now the problems on the ship are mainly focused on whether the ship is safe. In their opinion, the plague spread from the ship, so the source of the most dangerous plague is naturally also on the ship. If the plague breaks out again, they will
At sea, without the herbs provided by Shackles Town, how could they stop this plague and ensure that they would not become victims of this plague.
While the old captain was comforting the passengers on the ship, old Belen found Leo. After closing the door, he said nonchalantly: "Only our ship has an accident."
"What?" Leo looked at Old Beren slowly with some confusion.
"I contacted other people and they found that none of the treasure hunters whose seeds were planted were in trouble. Only our ship was in trouble." Old Belen said with a very serious expression.
"Are the other treasure hunters whose seeds were planted still the same?" Leo asked in a deep voice.
Old Beren replied: "Some of the behaviors have become a little weird and unexpected, but generally they are still normal."
Hearing these words, Leo couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart. He also carefully recalled the results of the inspection in the entertainment room that day. He did not find any abnormalities in those people, and the seeds were mutating in the direction he speculated. Why?
It shouldn't have mutated into what it is now.
However, Leo soon thought of what happened next. If there was anything that could cause the seeds to mutate impossible, then it was only the incarnation of the Corpse Collector who tried to enter the world of Velen but was dispersed and assimilated by the world.
Although most of the power of the Corpse Collector incarnation has been assimilated into the world, and the rest has been absorbed by the Corpse Collector mark on Leo, there is still some Corpse Collector power that has spread into the Snow Queen, and is more likely to be absorbed by the Snow Queen.
Those seeds were absorbed.
After absorbing the power of the corpse collector's mark, those seeds will definitely undergo unpredictable mutations, and eventually they will probably become what they are now.
"What are you going to do?" Leo asked.
"I can't do anything," Old Beren shook his head, sighed and said, "I've said everything that needs to be said, and the decision is over there."
Leo could hear that Old Beren's tone was a bit disheartened. It seemed that he was very disappointed with the organization he was currently working in. Leo couldn't say much about this, so he could only remain silent.
Old Beren then sighed again, then took out a crumpled, unsigned letter from his pocket and handed it to Leo, saying: "If you are free during your journey, take this letter to Pendel
It will be good for you to take a trip to the White Baron Manor in Hong Kong."
"This thing is..." Leo looked at the letter in his hand and asked.
"Recommendation letters. Every official member of the Lost Society has a recommendation quota. Rembrandt's recommendation quota has long been used, and only mine is still retained." Old Belen took out his pipe and dropped it in his mouth.
Lighting a cigarette, he said: "I originally planned to hold this quota and wait for a price to sell it. I should be able to sell it at a good price, but now it seems that it is more appropriate to give you this quota."
"Thank you." Leo was not polite. After thanking him, he put the envelope in his pocket. Then he asked again: "Is the White Baron Manor the headquarters of the Strange Society?"
"No. It's just a meeting place of the Lost News Society in the mainland of Minsk." Old Beren shook his head, and then said with a slight doubt on his face: "I don't know where the headquarters of the Lost News Society is.
I just know that the current focus of the Lost World Society is on the Moissan continent. If you want to know where the headquarters is, it’s best to ask Rembrandt, he should have been to the headquarters.”
After saying that, he got up and walked out of the room. In the room, Leo took out the recommendation letter again and read it.
For Leo, being able to join the Lost News Society will definitely be of great help to him, because there must be a lot of information within the Lost News Society, and that information can give him a deeper understanding of the world.
Although his understanding of this world now far exceeds that of most people in this world. He has seen the underlying structure of this world and knows various mysteries about this world. But even so, he still catches up with himself
He knows very little about this world, and all the previous speculations about this world have been overturned and reorganized due to the addition of information. Therefore, he has more and more questions about this world, so many that he feels as if he has never understood it.
Like this world.
