Chapter 270: The Mage Plague

Gabriel's domain was surrounded by a high wall, and he stood on top of the wall, looking into the distance, and the chief maid, Ella, stood still.

Far away in the sky, a huge shadow loomed in the clouds, and Gabriel pursed his lips.

"I really can't figure it out, how could the arrogant dragon clan be willing to be called by that guy, could it be that the Colosseum stepped forward that time?" Gabriel muttered to himself.

The dragon was subdued by Wenger, although it was said to be subdued, but Gabriel knew what the real process was, the red dragon was expelled by a black dragon of unknown origin, and the seriously injured red dragon fell from the sky, was defeated by Wenger, and put on shackles.

If the red dragon hadn't been injured, Wenger might not have won so easily.

Wenger's willingness to hand over the red dragon to Felik can be regarded as a bloody investment, and if the dragon wants to seek revenge after recovery, then he must be choking enough.

Of course, Felik is also bleeding profusely, in order to ask for the red dragon, he gave Wenger so much equipment that it is equivalent to arming an army for the other party, and those are extremely well-equipped, even if he is known as a country of military industry, he can't produce so much sophisticated equipment in a year.

Red Dragon changes equipment, whether this transaction is a loss or a gain, no one can say.

Wow!

Wow!

The dragon's wings stirred up the air, making a dull sound, and the huge dragon body landed outside the city walls.

Two figures leapt from the dragon's back, and the red dragon turned and soared into the sky, sweeping towards the mountains in the distance.

"Gabriel, what's going on?"

Felik climbed the tower and got straight to the point.

Gabriel didn't talk nonsense, turned around and led the way: "Follow me!" ”

"That's the way it is."

When they came to a small room, there were many people sitting in it, judging by their clothing, most of them were mages, but there were also some warriors, who were just sitting there, but their expressions were quite frightened, and many of them were startled when Felik and Belina came in.

Gabriel lifted his chin and motioned for Felik to enter.

"These are the people who have recently had a strange disease in my town, which is very weird."

"What's weird? Pestilence? ”

"No, it's more terrible than the plague." Gabriel's expression became more solemn.

He walked over to one of the mages, then lifted their sleeves, revealing the skin underneath.

From the outside, it looks a bit like the skin after being burned, and the tendons under the skin are flowing with colorful brilliance, and it looks like there is blood emitting colorful light, which is a bit similar to the symptoms of spell backlash.

"It's like...... It is a trace of being eaten by a spell. Belina began.

Gabriel: "I'm not proficient in spells, tell me more. ”

"This symptom occurs after the spell rages, the magic in the body will get out of control, and then the caster's body will suffer varying degrees of damage." Belina explained.

"Gabriel, is this what you call a strange disease?" Felik asked.

Gabriel nodded, and he continued to walk into the room with Felik, and then found an old man sitting in a corner, judging by the old man's clothes, he should be a high-level magician certified by the Empire.

It would be reasonable to say that the mage just now lost control and hurt himself while casting the spell, but how could a high-level mage also be in such a situation?

"It was just the initial symptoms, and now it'...... It's the last illness, you see. ”

With that, Gabriel gently pulled the old mage's clothes open, revealing his thin chest.

Felik's pupils contracted slightly, Belina covered her mouth with her hand, and both of them were shocked in their hearts, and even their expressions changed.

The old mage's chest had a large piece of charred skin, a bit like a burning ember, and the charred flesh still emitted a faint glow, flickering and dimming, different colors, and as the clothes were lifted, the surrounding began to permeate the surrounding with chaotic magic.

Belina remembered that after her Eye of Magic went violent, Felik entered the range of loss of control, and was affected by the flow of mana, and his skin was eroded and burned by magic, turning into ashes.

He walked up to one of the mages and lifted their sleeves to reveal the skin underneath, and when Felik and Belina saw this, they were both shocked and even their expressions changed.

Gabriel keenly noticed the change in the two of them, and asked, "Have you seen this?" ”

"Well, it's a not-so-pleasant memory." Felik recalled the pain of that day, and his face turned pale.

Gabriel nodded, thinking to himself that he had called the two men right, they seemed to know something about the disease.

"What you see is the final stage of this strange disease, which I call **."

Felik laughed dryly and sighed, "It feels dangerous to hear the name. ”

"Well, it's very dangerous." Gabriel beckoned to the people outside the door: "Come on, help this old man carry him out." ”

Outside the door, two soldiers walked in and carried the unconscious old man out.

"Come with me, you two, and soon you'll know why I call this final stage **."

The three of them came to another room, and as soon as they walked into this room, Belina felt bad, the magic of this room was too weird, not natural at all, and very unstable, if you cast a spell in this room, it is very likely to be counterattacked.

Belina spoke, "This room is weird. ”

Gabriel chuckled and replied, "I'm not as sharp as you are Miss Belina, but there are so many people in this room, if there is no change, I don't believe it." ”

Two soldiers helped the old man to the iron chair in the center of the room, which showed burnt marks.

"Wait, we'll see next, but don't try to make amends, I've tried many things, but they didn't work, and it's dangerous to get close."

Felik was silent as he listened, he had already guessed what was going to happen, and it seemed that the situation was indeed tricky.

I waited for an unknown amount of time, about an hour, and then suddenly! The old mage's consciousness returned.

To be precise, it should be waking up, not recovering, he opened his eyes suddenly, his pupils were black, like sticky ink, and like pitch-black mist, his throat made a sharp and painful sound, and on his already charred body, large swaths of skin and flesh fell.

Then there was a thud of purple flames, and then quickly turned cyan, and the burning magic exploded in the flames, crackling and sparking on the burning body.

Belina clenched her staff, and Felik held her hand and shook her head.

In just a few seconds, the flames were completely extinguished, and the charred body crumbled into ashes.

"See? That's what happens when this disease comes to an end. Gabriel said expressionlessly, he had seen this situation many times, and he was already numb.

Felik frowned, stared at the ashes on the ground, and muttered, "What a terrible strange disease. ”

"Alright, the field trip is over, let's go to my castle, we can't stay here for too long."

……

According to Gabriel's account, Felik knew what was going on.

I don't know when this disease began to spread in his territory, and the first person to suffer from it was a mage under him, who at first said that the backlash was inexplicable, and then ...... And then he died.

Since then, more and more people with such symptoms have appeared, and it has evolved into this appearance.

In addition, it is contagious, and it is called a disease because it is contagious.

I don't know the way of infection, the only thing I know is time, the longer you stay with the patient, the greater the chance of getting sick, and the higher the spell attainment, the shorter the time to die, just like a plague dedicated to mages.

If this continues, all mages will die, so Felik and Belina begin an investigation into the mage plague.

"I didn't have a chance to break Gabriel just now, and now it's just the two of us, Belina, let's go see those patients again, with your Broken Eye."

This strange disease is said to be a natural formation, and Felik did not believe it when he was killed, it is very likely that it is some kind of imperceptible curse, and this large-scale and contagious curse is simply legendary, and only the evil magicians in fairy tales will cast it.

At the door, Belina activated the Eye of Breaking the Law from afar, she covered her eyes with her hands to prevent the figurative technique of the Eye of Breaking from being seen, and secretly observed the body of the patient in the room from between her fingers, as if she was in perspective, she easily saw the flow of magic in everyone's body.

With a frown, Belina closed her eyes and sighed.

"How's it going?"

"Reverse Current."

"What do you mean?"

"Magic doesn't run according to the normal route, it erodes **, for example, blood is magic, the heart is the body, magic reflux is similar to blood reversal, no matter which one it is, people will die in the end." Belina leaned against the wall, her fingers running around the ends of her aqua blue hair.

Although she saw the magic reversal, she didn't see any suspicious spells, which means that the magic reversal was not caused by some curse, but the spontaneous illness of these people's bodies.

It's so weird that a mage can't manipulate the flow of magic in his body, it's as outrageous as a swordsman who can't hold a sword, and the most terrifying thing is that everyone doesn't notice it.

"Belina, is there anything you can do?"

If you want to solve this problem, you can only rely on Belina, and Felik is not a particularly awesome mage.

Sighing, her eyebrows raised helplessly, she blinked her light green eyes, and said helplessly: "Anyway, let's try the potion first, whether it can be on them, I just have a few potion production plans in my head, and the effect is to regulate the unstable magic in the mage's body, maybe it will be useful." ”

In the potions workshop in Gabriel's domain, an old man roared loudly.

"I can't even make an antidote, you let this elf make it! Are you trying to insult me? The old man's face turned the color of pig's liver, and he glared at Gabriel angrily.

This is the top potion master of the royal family, and he was sent by the king after knowing the situation here, and Gabriel can't be too arrogant, so he persuaded him: "Although Lady Belina still looks very young, she is actually very old. ”

"Even elves don't necessarily make potions! Potions and spells are completely different, and you can't learn them by talent alone! He said angrily, glaring at Belina as he spoke: "How old can you be!" Age has nothing to do with potions-making skills, and I don't think she'll do it better than I do. ”

Belina stood quietly beside her, she had forgotten her age, because staying by Felik's side would be very unhappy when she remembered that she was more than a hundred years older than the other party.

Now she is very unhappy.

Glancing at the props on the table, Belina probably knew the other party's purpose.

"Do you want to investigate the magic in the patient's body, the direction is correct, it's good, but there is no need to investigate, I already know the reason, it's the magic countercurrent." Belina spoke.

The old pharmacist was stunned for a moment, twisted his eyebrows, put his hands behind his back, and stared at Belina with tortured eyes.

"How do you know? Although spells can detect the magic in the subject's body, the nature of the magic, the degree of stability, and the flow state can only get an approximation. Do you want to be healed with your brutal spells! This method has already been tried, but it only accelerates the patient's condition! ”

The old medicine master said angrily: "This is not a curse, it can't be solved by those spells alone, if you want to solve this problem completely, you must find the root and cause of this strange disease, therefore, a detailed magic situation is a must!" ”

"You've wasted time trying this elf, and all of them are dying!" The old pharmacist yelled.

Belina took a deep breath and calmed down: "You still don't need to test, everyone's magic nature and stability are different, and the flow state of magic has also changed dramatically, it is difficult to find a pattern from it, and investigating the patient's magic status is just a waste of time." ”

Belina walked to the side of the pharmacy table and reached for a medicine bottle, and the short old man saw that even his eyes were about to burst out, he had reached the last step of the pharmacy, and the slightest mistake in such a delicate step would be wasted.

Before she had time to scold, Belina's fingers had already pinched the bottleneck of the vial, and then poured it into another vial.

The old medicine master wiped his forehead in collapse, the dosage of the fusion of the medicine at this step is extremely accurate, it is difficult to judge by the naked eye, he must use the instrument, when this elf fuses the two medicines with his bare hands, he knows that the medicine has been destroyed.

Goo!

What was that?

The old medicine man suddenly heard a familiar voice, he looked up at the medicine bottle suddenly, in the medicine bottle, the dark purple medicine was emitting a faint light, and it was bubbling and bubbling, judging from this phenomenon, the medicine was actually successful!

"No...... No way!!! He stared at the vial dumbfounded, the shock in his eyes beyond measure.

Was it luck that the dose that fell just enough to contribute to the final fusion of the potion?

Even a shake of the hand will make a mistake, how can it be successful with a drop of the hand?

Turning his head to look at the elf, he was expressionless, as if he was not surprised.

Belina skillfully shook the potion in her hand, allowing the ingredients to fully merge, and then handed it to the old medicine man.

Then he added: "If you don't believe it, you can try it and see if what I just said is right." ”
