Chapter 636: The Behind the Scenes That Gradually Emerges
Myris had been in retreat at the monastery, and there weren't many things that would make him suddenly leave without saying goodbye.
Nothing else is easy to say, but the killing of his illegitimate son definitely gives him a reason to leave everything behind.
Todd recalls that night, when Myris said goodbye in such a hurry that he didn't even leave a note.
At that time, Myris must have received a notice from someone else, so he left the convent and went to deal with Marcos's funeral in a hurry.
Further speculation suggests that this "other person" is likely someone from the Presbyterian Church, who has promised to help Myris retrieve Marcos' head and shell, and to use Presbyterian technology to "resurrect" Marcos.
Having seen what the church was doing, Myris naturally chose to break with it and treat the church as an enemy.
In this way, in order to get revenge, Myris appeared in the city of Taylor and used the black plague to destroy the entire city, which makes sense.
The Elders' Relief Society, on the other hand, has been researching xenomorph technology, and its president, Theodore, once had a relationship with Todd, and stated that he had been studying the technology of the successor, and inadvertently discovered the principle of the "necromantic successor".
After that, the Larynx killed Theodore and stole the latter's research, including the Necrogenetic Inheritor's technology.
Things have developed at this point, and in Todd's sight, as an important part of the black plague, another important role has been introduced - the laryngeal bone.
Originally, in the capital of the Southern Empire, Myris once mentioned to Todd that as a wanted criminal of the Presbyterian Church, the throat bone, he had defected to the Empire and had been developing the weapon "Necromantic Successor".
If the development of this weapon is completed, resulting in the advent of the "Black Plague", the whole event will complete the closed loop in terms of reasoning.
Now, there are several key questions.
First, to what extent has the Black Plague been studied, and can it be used as a biological weapon at will?
Second, the Black Plague comes from the biological weapon technology called the Necromantic Inheritor, which was originally developed by Theodore and later killed him and seized it. Now, is there anyone else in the Presbyterian Church who knows about this technique and can find a way to end it?
Thirdly, in whose hands is the Black Plague now? Myris, Throat Bone, or the Southern Empire?
Huggins saw that Todd was lost in thought for a long time, and then asked, "Your Majesty?"
Todd raised his hand and motioned for him to stop talking for a moment.
Todd had always thought that the Black Plague was a rebellion by the Presbyterian Church, but now it seems that it has something to do with Myris, the Throat Bone, and the Southern Empire.
The Black Plague has now spread across the ocean, and according to the Valkyries, the "undead army" that has been transformed into the city of Taylor is invading everywhere, and some have even entered the territory of the Southern Empire.
Therefore, from this point of view, neither the laryngeal bone, Myris, nor the Southern Empire have the ability to fully control the spread of the virus, and the whole situation is even more out of control.
Thinking of this, Todd suddenly had an idea, could it be that someone's ultimate goal is to see the Black Plague spread?
Todd quickly dismissed the speculation.
The unbridled spread of the black plague did no one good.
Just imagine, if the army of the dead occupies the entire world, then no living creature can live alone. No one would be so stupid as to let death spread everywhere.
But what if the people behind the spread of the Black Plague found a way to resist the poison of the Black Plague......
"Huggins, can you still contact Myris?" Todd asked in a deep voice, "I'd like to see him." ”
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I haven't heard from Myris since I saw him in Taylor. ”
Todd asked again, "If Myris is the real culprit of the black plague outbreak in Taylor City, then there must be a way for him to avoid being harmed by the plague, did he tell you?"
"No, sorry. ”
"The picture in the soul image is too dark for me to see any clues, but did you see anything unusual when you met him?
Huggins struggled to recall, and said slowly, "Myris looks a little thin, but he used to be like that, but Marcos next to him, if it was really a resurrected corpse, then I think he still retains some consciousness......"
Todd asked, "You mean, the resurrected Marcos still has the ability to think?"
"Your Majesty, I know what you're questioning, how can a resurrected corpse have a soul, but I vaguely remember that when Marcos attacked me and retreated, he looked at me, and that look seemed to be his ...... of me"
"Are you sure?"
Huggins shrugged: "But it's also possible that I was wrong, it was really dark at that time, maybe it was just my delusion." ”
Todd sat back down at the conference table disappointed, reopened Huggins' soul memory, froze at the moment of Myris's appearance, and whispered, "He's a good teacher, no one expected that things would come to this point." ”
Huggins said with emotion: "When I was at the Monastery of San Sidlo, Myris took special care of Marcos. No matter what trouble that kid has out there, Myris will do everything he can to help him. If Marcos was really his son, then digging up his body from the grave and seeing his head in the xenomorph dungeon were enough to drive the old man crazy. ”
Todd looked at the ceiling and sighed.
Huggins touched his chin and said, "If the person who saw Myris was Karin, the old man might have listened to that girl." ”
Todd glanced at Huggins, who didn't know about Karin's disappearance.
Huggins continued: "Marcos's unrequited love for Karin was well known to passers-by at the time, so Myris was also more indulgent to Karin. ”
Todd said, "Hudgens, go back to Twilight West. ”
Huggins didn't react at first: "Oh, okay, Your Majesty. ”
Then, a huge shock appeared on his face: "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, you mean that I can?!"
Todd nodded: "I asked you to leave in the first place so that that incident would not affect you. Now that everything is calm, it's time to come back. ”
Huggins stood up excitedly: "Your Majesty, I will not disappoint your expectations!"
"Sit down first, after you come back, the first thing you will be responsible for is still the internal management of Wang Cheng. In addition, the overall work of the twilight is now divided into two parts, the inspection of the kingdom's internal and the inspection of the foreign population. The internal audits and external inspections that you will be responsible for have been handed over to the Knights and the Shamanic Council. ”
Huggins nodded impatiently and said, "No problem, I have no objection to this." ”
Todd waved his hand: "Don't agree so quickly, a group of refugees from the ocean have come recently, and they have officially applied to become citizens of Twilight City, and I have promised verbally, but there will be many difficulties in practice." The first thing you will do when you return to Twilight is to try to reach out to their representative, Rita, the tribal leader of the Salamo Merfolk, to discuss how to settle the refugees. ”
