"Theopano?" The dragon of fantasy couldn't help but groan.

"Yes." Medea said, "At least that's what I remember. ”

"I guess Diofano is just one of the transit points for infection." The dragon said, "Because this queen is just an ordinary person, and she doesn't have any extraordinary powers. ”

"And considering the timeline, a few years ago it was the trough of the Demon Tide, and the level cap was only 5." Asker added, "This long-term pattern of infection from A to B and then from B to C is not achievable at a low level. ”

"But if that's the case......" The dragon of fantasy looked at Asker, and Medea's pupils contracted slightly.

A terrifying feeling gradually rose from the bottom of the hearts of the three of them.

The last time the Magic Tide peaked was about four hundred years. That is, the layout of the people behind the scenes......

Since hundreds of years ago?

"It's ridiculous." The dragon of fantasy directly denied, "Hundreds of years ago...... It was Carolingian! Could it be that at that time, the people behind the scenes could have predicted that there would be an Emperor Otto in the Saxon dynasty hundreds of years later, and used his ability to lay out him? ”

"If the layout doesn't start with the last Demon Tide, then is there a way to get past the restrictions of the Demon Tide and freely use your abilities?" Medea tried to reverse her mind.

"If there is such a method, the people behind it do not need to take such a stealthy approach at all." The Fantasy Dragon said coldly, "With this method, it can easily recruit enough demigods who are unwilling to lie dormant during the trough of the past demon tide, where in the world is there any power that can stop it?" ”

Medea was speechless. Obviously, international politics were generally stable during the trough of the Demon Tide, and the reason was that the demigods were restricted by the Demon Tide and could not make a move.

If there really was such a way to break the restriction of the demon tide imposed by the demigods, then the world should have been chaotic a long time ago.

"I'm more inclined to go long-term." Asker suggested another possibility, "Your Excellency the Dragon of Fantasy, have you heard of a law related to 'prophecy'? ”

"You mean 'fate'?" The dragon of fantasy said in surprise, "But this kind of law is usually extremely limited in the fragments that can be predicted, not to mention that the future is not immutable. Observation itself is a disturbance, and the future that is foreseen through the law of fate is already changed by the time the act of foreseeing this happens. ”

"Don't forget the butterfly effect." Medea also disagrees with this statement, "A butterfly flapping its wings in the northern continent may cause a storm in the southern continent." Even small changes in a few hundred years can make a big difference in the future hundreds of years from now. ”

"Pure foreknowledge certainly can't be laid out in advance, but what if it's a more complicated situation?" Asker sighed, "Let's give you an example. ”

"Someone claims to be able to predict the outcome of a football game, and he lists all the predicted outcomes of the game, divides them into three categories according to win-loss-draw, and sends them to three user groups."

If it ends up in a tie, he finds out the group of users who sent the result as a tie, divides them into three groups again, and sends the results of the next ball game. As users are filtered out, there will always be some users left for whom their predictions are never wrong. ”

"You mean...... Oh! I understand! Medea clapped her hands and exclaimed.

"How?" Bruno, the dragon of fantasy, hadn't reacted yet.

"Your Excellency, if I were now the one behind the scenes hundreds of years ago." Medea said excitedly, obviously very impressed by this conspiracy, "Through the laws of fate and the like, I predict that in the future, as the national strength increases, the Frankish Empire will inevitably have conflicts with the Holy See that is the number one on the mainland, but I can't predict when and what form the conflict will take." ”

"So I selected a large number of Frankish nobles of this era, and infected them in a secret way, planting the idea of becoming enemies of the Holy See."

"Of course, in this era, the Frankish Empire can't defeat the Holy See, so even if everyone has such a thought in their hearts, they will not rashly advocate starting a war in real life."

"But as a plague of the mind, this kind of thought will spread out at a specific time and spread to the healthy people around the patient."

"As time progresses, most of these nobles will definitely decline, and a small number are still active in the upper echelons of the empire, infecting the idea on the new healthy aristocracy."

"So this idea is like a virus, deeply rooted in the upper echelons of the Frankish Empire, no matter how the dynasty changes, as long as the upper echelons are not completely replaced, there will always be infected nobles of the old era who will spread this idea again."

"It wasn't until a certain era that the empire initially had the strength to confront the Holy See, and the virus was activated and broke out, prompting the upper echelons of the ruling to be more inclined to be enemies of the Holy See, and eventually fierce conflicts and confrontations broke out."

Listening to Medea's speculation, Aske suddenly remembered a disease called "hepatitis B", the hepatitis B virus will integrate its own genetic material into the body's liver cells, and then continuously produce new viruses to infect more healthy people. Relying on this mode of transmission, the hepatitis B virus on the planet has lasted for at least 7,000 years.

The Plague of the Mind may be a variant similar to a biological virus. It is stealthy and undetectable, has an extremely long incubation period, is not lethal (the patient may not be aware of it for the rest of his life), and is highly contagious, so it is reasonable to say that it will last for hundreds of years.

"This, this is really ......" The fantasy dragon had nothing to say for a while. He had no medical research, and he did not know the transmission mechanism of biological viruses, but just listening to Medea's description, he had a certain strange feeling.

"If you say so, then this spiritual plague is most likely spread randomly." After a moment, the dragon of fantasy calmed down and analyzed, "Because those behind the scenes can't predict the direction of the future. Moreover, if a transcendent person with a psychic sequence happens to be infected, they should be aware of it. ”

"But I've never heard of a similar psychic plague in the circle of the Spiritual Transcendent."

"Ugh." Medea also felt that something was wrong, after all, random transmission of this kind of thing is too uncontrollable, and it is not a very reasonable explanation to think that there will be no clues for hundreds of years.

"I don't really haven't heard of it." Aske said suddenly, "How else would the Succubus Queen know?" ”

"So be it." The dragon of fantasy finally concluded, "The above is just our speculation, and there is no evidence yet. ”

"Empress Theofano, I'll investigate later. As for the source of the Succubus Queen, I will leave it to you to confirm it. ”
