"Oh, the one you're talking about is called ghostism."

The owner of the tavern's 'Can of Honey' wiped the glass in his hand and said nonchalantly to Francon, who was sitting at the bar.

Because the hazmat suit was so eye-catching, when they were about to enter the tavern, Francon asked them to take off the hazmat suit and put it away, disguised as a daring pedestrian.

As for the prevention of epidemics, Francon's research over the years has not been given in vain, and a few small magic charms have a preventive effect that is better than that of protective clothing.

"Ghostism? Why haven't I heard of this condition? ”

Because Franconian spoke in an unusual tone, this type of negotiation was made through Camillo...... In the eyes of others, it was as if Francon, an old businessman, was training his heir to deal with others, and there was no great sense of disobedience.

"That's nature." The tavernkeeper put down his shiny glass, took two plates of roast meat from the waiter, placed them in front of Francon, and continued, "Because this disease is only found in Morrag. ”

As he continued to explain, Kamiyu and the others understood the strange disease.

As Franken had guessed, ghost disease was indeed a special condition that only arose because of the source of the plague.

In Morag, with the exception of those who stay for a short period of time, they are almost always infected with some degree of disease if they stay for a long time.

There are three manifestations of the epidemic, one is the most common, and it is also the most common for outsiders (generally those criminals) to appear, high fever and vomiting in a short time. I couldn't eat or drink, and finally died of dehydration in pain. Because the corpse of the deceased was twisted and blackened, it was also called the Black Plague.

The second is more common among the natives of Morag, because the symptoms are only the appearance of strange green spots on the body, so it is also called green spots (when he said this, the shopkeeper lifted his sleeve and showed them his half-green arm). This condition can spread over time, and some precious drugs or powerful magic can effectively suppress it, but it cannot be eradicated. Wait until the green spots are more than half of the size of the body. The man's death is also coming.

It is worth mentioning. There is a certain chance that the corpse of a person with green spot will become a plague walking corpse after death, so no matter what their identity is during their lifetime, they will be cremated after death without discrimination.

The third type is ghostism.

Patients with ghost syndrome look no different from normal people in the early stage...... In fact, about 30 percent of the inhabitants of Morag look good. But in fact, nine out of ten of them are infected with the hidden black plague, and as soon as the time comes, they will immediately die of illness. And less than 1.0 percent of them are infected. It's this weird disease called ghostism.

Ghost syndrome after entering the onset of the disease. Some of the patient's souls can leave their bodies, but only magicians and beings with psychic abilities can see them, except for themselves. I don't know what the reason is. When the soul of a spirit body is separated from the body due to ghostism, it can still touch objects, as if it has an entity. And as long as the soul is damaged, the person's body will also suffer the same damage - the reason for this is still unknown. Of course, no one in Morag will study the reasons for this......

As the disease spreads, more and more parts of the soul can leave the body of the ghostly patients, and when the connection between their soul and the body is completely severed, these ghostly patients will directly die suddenly, and the soul will also dissipate because of the excessive amount of energy consumed in life, and even becoming a ghost species is a luxury.

"Anyway, if the guy you meet really has ghost disease, and he's strong enough to do that, it's estimated that he won't have a few days to live."

At the end of this sentence, the tavernkeeper turned and resumed his work, leaving Kamiyu and the others to look at each other.

"What do we do next?"

Although there were not many people in the tavern, Dorothy deliberately lowered her voice and asked.

"There are a lot of people who know the Mohs Laxi River, so we'll ask for directions later."

Franken didn't hesitate about it.

Maybe it's because undead creatures are naturally more rational. For him, the main purpose of this visit was only to solve the source of the plague, and if he could, to find the friends he knew in Morag. In addition, what has become of the city and what will happen to the other patients in it has nothing to do with him.

Although Riddle and the others seemed to have some objections, they had neither the ability to solve the source of the plague nor the cure for the inhabitants of Morrag, so they could only silently eat two pieces of barbecue that tasted very bad, but the price was three times more expensive than the average price outside, and then followed Franken out of the canned honey tavern.

After experiencing a series of things like having their wallets stolen by children younger than Kamiyo, being robbed by a few scrawny adults, and being cornered by some fierce-looking members of the Black River, Franconia finally asked for the way to the main road of the Moss Lassi River.

After running into the alley and changing into the protective clothing of the White City Guards, they made their way to the main river.

The river is very wide, and the water in the river looks dark and oily. But Franconian knew very well that the water contained a terrifying curse.

The shallows along the river are littered with reefs and architectural remains. On the outcropping reefs or broken roofs, a group of creatures that looked a bit like goblins, but with scales, webbed claws, and wrinkled heads like straw hats, were crouching, lazily basking in one of the few suns in this pit city.

"It was Prag, a distant relative of the Red Hats, who generally lived in swamps and fed on poisonous mushrooms and miasma. They are not aggressive on their own, but will use their words and actions to taunt people or creatures that path the swamp, causing them to fall into traps. A magical creature with a very bad personality. ”

Tannis, who had taken the Monster Ecology course, revealed the identities of those little things.

"That's right, it's said that the Seven Yao Mage Guild is about to remove these guys from the Magical Creature Protection Regulations. But now is not the time to talk about this, all we have to do is ignore those guys and find the location of the source of the plague......"

Franconia nodded as well, confirming what Tannis said.

"Professor, look!"

At this time, Dorothy pointed to the river. A few people looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw that the man who had escaped from Franconian was sitting on the bank of the river with his knees crossed, throwing stones into the river in a sullen manner, startling a plague and causing them to scatter and flee like toads. (To be continued......)
