Chapter 12: The Second Plague

In order not to attract the attention of others, after allegiance to Roland, Duoduo quickly left Roland's room.

Now that Duoduo has pledged allegiance to Roland, many obstacles have disappeared as a result.

At the very least, Roland didn't have to let Elukado come back and steal the vial of plague from Toto.

Roland played with the small glass bottle in his hand, but fell silent.

Elcat's situation was much more serious than he had imagined.

In Duoduo's previous narrative, Roland was keenly aware of one thing - that is, the wild undead. Combined with what Roland knew about the split in Elcut, he probably knew who was responsible for turning El Carter into a chaotic place of intense partisanship.

Duoduo's words gave Roland a wake-up call. Roland had no idea that there were some undead who were not loyal to the Silver Queen. For these wild undead, the Silver Queen is the culprit who started the war and caused the destruction of their family.

After a detailed inquiry with Toto, Roland gained a certain level of understanding of Elcat's current situation.

In addition to the new kings like Duoduo, who have always believed in the existence of a new king, can be directly taken over by Roland, there are also modernist undead who are transformed after the pale silver break, queens who worship the silver queen to the extreme and refuse to admit the existence of a new king, negativity who resists leaving Elcart and has adapted to life in the new era, and traitors like Helena. And within that, there are many tributaries between each faction.

Counting all the tributaries, the New Kings only account for one-seventh of all the undead in Elcat.

Except for the traitors who completely betrayed Elcart, among the four remaining types of undead. In fact, one in five people became false priests, just like Toto. But. They became priests of the gods only by force, and did not completely betray Elqat in themselves.

This is different from what Roland knew from the mission at the beginning.

Under preconceived notions. Roland once thought that all undead priests were traitors - but in reality, there were still some who were priests but not believers.

The spirits of the new kings became priests because they needed a legal identity that could search for the new king in the nations; The undead of the Queen's faction will hardly become priests, unless they are specially driven into the nails; Becoming a priest for a negativity undead is a transaction, akin to taking hostages in exchange for peace.

But the undead of modernism are mostly oscillating between betrayal and unbetrayal. Many of them did come to believe in the gods, but they didn't completely betray Elcat. While they believe in the gods and act strictly according to their teachings, they do not want to sever their ties with their homeland in Elcat.

For example, the guy Roland saw in the sick village was a modernist undead who was more inclined to gods.

The biggest headache for Roland is this group of bastards who ride the wall. According to Roland's temperament, he must have built all of these fellows one by one as a wall—but. These modernist undead make up half of all the undead in El Carter today. Roland couldn't move.

Of course, if Roland is really ruthless, it is not without a solution.

But in retrospect, these young undead who had never seen the Silver Queen, and the belief in the gods of the silver inheritance was just a legend was not a betrayal of Elcat. Because they never swore allegiance to their sister - if they did not swear allegiance, how could they betray?

Of course, the Pale Silver Seal also gave them a natural affection and respect for Roland, which was the fundamental law engraved by the Silver Queen in the blood of the undead. But the problem is that Roland can't guarantee that there will be a few fanatical believers among them.

Under the brainwashing and cultural influence of the pseudo-gods, it is a question whether they still know the truth of the war back then. If Roland can't scrutinize them rigorously. Any modernist undead could turn into a ticking time bomb.

Moreover, not all of the wild undead defected back then. Because of the lust for power or something, there will also be some aliens who are not modernists, but who do not respect the silver queen, will appear in the upper echelons of other parties.

…… If nothing else, even Eluka will help herself. It's not easy to try to bring the undead away for a while.

Roland was glad that he had accepted Toto's allegiance. He originally planned to go to Elcat to collect the undead after the Death Sect stabilized a little, and then use the power of the undead to spread the influence of his own sect.

Looking back now, if Roland had really done it. Then the only result is that he was trapped in El Carter for several years and couldn't get out, and then because Roland had been missing for too long. There was a great deal of confusion in the newly established Death Sect.

At that point, Roland will have to choose between the King of the Dead and the Pope of the Mentor. Then give up the other one.

But now that we know that Elkart is in turmoil, our strategy must be adjusted - not to use the power of the undead to propagate the sect, but to use our own status as the Pope to bring in the undead.

After making up his mind, Roland's mood relaxed a lot.

Next, it's time to get down to business.

Roland flipped his wrist and grabbed the tiny glass bottle with a thin gray mist between his two fingers.

Then Roland unscrewed the stopper with his left hand and swallowed the haze from the glass bottle.

Suddenly, a piece of system prompts appeared in front of Roland's eyes-

[A trace of plague has been detected invading the body...... The Plague Lair has succeeded in devouring the plague]

[You got a new plague seedling]

[You have unlocked a new Plague Trait: Virus]

[You have unlocked a new way of transmission: airborne transmission]

[You have unlocked a new disease symptom: fever]

- Airborne!

Roland's eyes lit up.

Although Duoduo had obviously gone to Cranwo's side and hadn't studied his plague very seriously, his plague had at least helped Roland unlock the airborne mode of transmission.

That's Roland's luck.

No matter how much you mess around, the transmission of bodily fluids is almost a basic ability for the virus. Being able to randomly spread through the air was enough to make Roland happy.

Roland has mutation characteristics in hand, and if you put a virus out to infect a few people, you can get body fluids to spread. On the contrary, airborne transmission and high temperature resistance Roland is not easy to start.

If the heat resists, Roland remembers that there should be bacteria in the vicinity of the Anola volcano northwest of Titan. But airborne transmission can only be cultivated artificially.

For Roland, the only use of the virus's properties is to help him get extreme mutations and bodily fluid transmission. In addition, whether compared to the mutation speed or the difficulty of exemption, the blood of dusk has completely exploded the virus by several grades.

As for the fever symptoms, Roland didn't care about it at all.

Fever alone is not useful. It's just a passing symptom.

From fever to high fever, and then to pneumonia or encephalitis, it can at least be a little lethal.

"Start breeding seedlings."

Roland didn't hesitate to give the command, and then moved his finger to the virus.

Compared to the rare Blood of Dusk, Roland needed some common, unwary plagues to survive the early stages without any resistances.

After all, with Colanwo watching from the sky, Roland would never let out the blood of dusk until he was killed.

If he had been given a sample of the plague from the Blood of Dusk, Roland would have been in real trouble.

Viruses don't matter. Even if the priest of Cranwo was allowed to take away or cure the plague, it would not be a great loss to Roland.

"The characteristics of the plague are viruses and mutations, and the mode of transmission is airborne, with no added symptoms. Start breeding. ”

A plague that has no resistance or symptoms, whoever wants it can just take it......

As long as those guys weren't stupid, they wouldn't let such a useless plague occupy a square in their plague nest. And a plague with no obvious symptoms is even more difficult to be detected, and even if it is discovered, it will basically not cost the priest of Koranwo to treat it.

After all, only Roland's Plague Nest can synchronize symptoms to infected people in real time. In other cases, as long as it does not mutate, it is indeed a harmless plague that is empty and contagious.

[The plague is in the making...... Expected to be completed in 4 hours】

Satisfied, Roland plugged the stopper of the plague vial and put it away, returning to bed to rest. (To be continued.) )

PS: Actually, accepting or not accepting Duoduo's allegiance was originally a plot branch.,But because it's inconvenient to divide chapters, I choose the correct answer by default......
