Chapter 1018 Intelligence and Treatment Options
"Stinky boy!" Groni looked up at Naples and gave a solemn order: "Immediately notify the Maharaja to pull out the camp, and tell everyone that we are going to rush to the king!" Aim to get to Klek in two days! ”
Still worried, Naples shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, your subordinates understand your feelings, and the situation in the city has indeed reached the point of extreme urgency. But what about the plague that swept through the entire region? We were held back by this terrible disease, and now it can even be manipulated by others! What if the Maharaja sets out and is attacked by the sick? If we can't kill the manipulators in the first place, we'll have to open fire on the innocent patients! ”
"This..." Groni frowned, if he really encountered that kind of situation, it would be really dangerous for the entire Maharaja. Even now, because of the relationship between the new monarchs, the firepower has increased greatly, and it can easily defeat those infected who are unorganized and unarmed, and have no other threat than to rush forward without fear of death. But in doing so, they would be guilty of a massacre, which was also not in the interests of the kingdom. If the territory of the lost people is an enclave, if the area around Kleikein is really completely abandoned due to the war, I am afraid that in the future, the southern border of the kingdom will be really recovered, and the entire south will lose its stable center of gravity, and the kingdom will fall into a quagmire.
Groni hesitated, if the problem of the plague was not resolved, he and the Maharaja would not be able to move forward. But if it is really stuck here, then the city of Kleikin is likely to be destroyed because of this. He was a resolute man, and his long years in power made him very aware of the priorities of the matter, but he still fell into deep thought and could not extricate himself from such a dilemma.
Napoli was also thinking of a way, and he glanced at Oliver, this kind of brave people from another world, according to the records, are not afraid of infection, they often only need to leave once, and come again, they can completely get rid of all diseases. Originally, it was the best choice for them to make a move, but in this rescue operation, it was not enough to rely on a few of them, even if they added another team of female braves. No matter how strong they are, they are only strong in force. What the people of Kleikin need is a lot of human and material support. But if the problem of the plague is not solved, he and Minister Groni really dare not send the Maharaja to the south.
Just as the two were in a predicament, someone entered the tent again. Oliver turned his head and saw that it was actually the woman with a cold face, followed by the short woman who hurt a lot, and then behind was the sister of the young NPC and the blue-haired girl who also belonged to the camp of the female brave.
(Huh?!) This woman ... It always gives me a very familiar feeling. Oliver thought so, and his eyes couldn't help but be firmly fixed on Duo Fang.
This undisguised fiery gaze frightened Duo Fang, who had always been sensitive and timid, to hide behind Polina. Of course, Polina, as an innocent girl, couldn't withstand Oliver's beastly gaze, so she could only hide behind Scarlet with Duofang.
"Hey! Big! If you don't want to die, you'd better put away your obscene eyes for me! Yanna crossed her hands on her hips and said cruel words.
"Uhhhh I didn't look at it. Oliver turned his head in disgust.
Napoli looked at her sister with some surprise, these days, the wild girl has been pestering the female warriors, constantly approaching them, especially the blue-haired female warrior beside her, the relationship between the two has become very iron in just a few days, it seems that she has also gained a lot of knowledge from the blue-haired girl.
"A few brave men, I don't know if there is anything important about coming here?" Groni looked at Scarlet and the others, this team of female brave warriors, extremely independent, almost did not obey assignments, since the army was sent for so long, they have been busy with their own personal affairs, and rarely took the initiative to come to him, let alone form a team to meet in the plural.
"Well, it's a very important thing, please." Scarlet nodded, "Ah, let me know in advance, we all heard what you just said, well, it's a bit of a coincidence, we just happened to report a solution to the plague." ”
Scarlet looked at Polina behind her, and the girl who was stared at with a cold face panicked, and hurriedly let go of Duo Fang's hand and stood up.
"Polina?!" Napoli lifted his forehead and said helplessly: "Okay, Polina, please don't get involved in this kind of thing, it's not a trivial matter." ”
"I know it's not a small thing! But I've already argued! Polina puffed out her cheeks, walked to the table next to her, and pulled out a few bottles and a few pieces of paper from her fanny pack.
"Well, this is our collection of lenses and amber! Both are taken from the same patient! Polina gestured to everyone with a bottle in her hand and put it back on the table.
"And this bug! It is also extracted from the patient, and this is the culprit of this infection! Polina picked up another bottle, and there was a very small bug in it.
"What?!" Groni took the bottle and put it in front of him to take a closer look, the small black worm soaked in the potion in the bottle was more hideous than the worm he had seen and imagined.
"You mean that the plague is contagious because of this bug? I've never heard of any bugs that can cause Magic Stone Disease. Groni put the bottle back on the table, then looked up at Polina and motioned for her to continue explaining.
"It's really not enough to rely on bugs alone, you also need patients with the Magic Stone variant!" Polina spread out a few pieces of paper and said excitedly, "I've been arguing about the possibility of a contagious Magician variant, and now I finally have an example. ”
"Just like what I imagined, this variant of the Magician can infect people who are not sick and turn them into Magicstone patients, but the infected patients themselves do not have the ability to further expand the infection. There is only one source of infection, and in general, it is very difficult for a patient like this to cause a large-scale infection. ”
"But with this bug it's different!" Polina picked up the vial, "Under the investigation of the braves, I can be sure that there are people who can manipulate these bugs, smeared the body fluids of the patients on the bugs, and then manipulated the bugs to bite everywhere, which caused a big outbreak of magic stone disease!" ”
"Sure enough, those black-robed people are behind the incident!" Oliver answered, "Well, those monsters not only rely on bugs to spread diseases, but they can also rely on bugs to control patients!" ”
Polina nodded, picked up the bottle of amber, and a report: "These patients are not infected with the usual Magician Disease, and the crystals produced on their bodies are much more stable than those of the original patients. Even when manipulated by bugs, it transforms into a semi-solid amber shape, making it possible to harvest these crystals. Of course, once the crystals are removed, the patient's bodily functions will soon fail, and then die, which is the truth of the current plague. It is not an accidental scourge, but a conspiracy led by some abominable scoundrel! ”
Napoli looked at Polina who was talking eloquently, and felt a little relieved, but then frowned, and then asked, "Well, Polina, you have made it very clear about the plague. But now the point is, how can we prevent this strange mode of transmission, and who are still able to save them? I remember that the original version of the Magic Stone Disease has been judged to be a terminal disease, so can this variant of the Magic Stone Disease be cured? ”
"Rest assured, I've already made a plan of treatment." Duo Fang stood up, and after glancing at Oliver a little timidly, she braced up her courage and continued: "This disease, strictly speaking, is not a disease. It's an out-of-control evolution, so it can't be treated with drugs alone. ”
Groni touched his head and said dumbfounded: "Brave, what you said, I can't understand it when you take it apart, and I'm even more confused when you put it together, what is an out-of-control evolution?" Is it actually a good thing to have this disease? It's just that we can't afford it?! ”
"Think so." Nodding, he took out an empty bottle from his backpack and gestured, "The world is full of what you call the elements, and it fills the whole world like a sea. Every person, every living being, as soon as they are born, is like a bottle falling into the sea, wrapped inside and out. ”
"Normally, cups are used to hold water. No matter how full they are, they won't hurt the bottle itself, but some bottles are not made of the same material, or the bottles are made too large to contain more solution than they can handle. In this way, its own existence is difficult to maintain, they will crack, they will collapse, and in order to delay and avoid such a tragic end, they use the solution in the bottle to continuously make crystals, to dilute the solution in the body, and by the way, fill the cracks with crystals. ”
"But this does not save them from their tragic end, and eventually, the crystals created to delay death will burst open at some point in time, or because they have exceeded the critical point, or because of a collision, even if it is very slight, and draw a tragic ending for the sick."
"So, what the patients need is not medicine, but this!" Duo Fang pulled out a machine similar to a megaphone, and then picked up the bottle containing amber in the other hand.
The machine was opened to the bottle, and from the mouth of the machine, a wave of invisible fluctuations swept through the amber, causing the amber in the bottle to gradually turn from a semi-solid to a liquid, and finally dissolved in the bottle.
"This..." Groney frowned, "It's that simple? But don't those patients die once the crystals are taken away? What's the difference between you and those black-robed people? ”
Duo Fang shook his head: "It's different, this elemental dissolver is to let the elements decompose themselves, and then separate from the patient. It is true that this will still hurt the patient, but it will not hurt the source, they can still survive, and as long as they are treated and cared for well, they will always recover. But those black-robed people not only didn't care about the lives of the patients, but also let the insects hollow out the patient's body as much as possible before digging, so that all the life essence could gather on the amber! It's completely different! ”
