Chapter 376: Infection
Accompanied by many small animals, Nangong Rong and the others spent a pleasant time, and temporarily forgot a lot of troubles, which made their mood much easier. However, this will not last forever, especially when a certain red-clothed three-headed figure who is deep behind enemy lines takes the initiative to send back a message.
"Went on a date?"
This was the first thing Lin Weiyin asked after the boy and the eldest princess returned to the room, the little girl's original intention was to make a joke to tease the two, but she didn't want Octavier to jump three feet high on the spot as expected, she didn't even pay attention to the girl, closed the door and walked straight to the edge of the bed and sat down.
Then he took out a small device from his bosom with a faint light on the surface, which was made by the Sitneylanians to allow the red-clad three-headed body to communicate with other friends when controlling the mount, the shape is simple but reliable enough - of course, more importantly, this thing can leave a message without having to talk to the contact person in real time, which is very convenient in some cases.
For example, now.
Octavir first cast a detection spell to confirm that there were no eavesdropping devices installed in the room, and then turned on the device in his hand, and the voice of the red-clothed three-headed body was heard immediately.
In the previous operation, Nangong Rong was not able to see the little guy appear anywhere from beginning to end, and he and his big spider were as if they had never participated in this battle at all, but it was an illusion after all. The three-headed body successfully infiltrated the abyss occupation area with the nominal elven guide, and the information he sent back now was something that no one could guess before, which was quite valuable.
Because no one was able to sneak into the territory controlled by the abyss to secretly carry out reconnaissance before this, and anyone who went in either received a boxed lunch or hugged his head or killed all sides with a few specifications, anyway, no one could investigate the situation of the abyss normally, and the preciousness of the information transmitted back by the three-headed body this time can be imagined.
"We've gone deep into the forest, and the abyss still hasn't seen through the camouflage of the spider's surface. There weren't as many monsters here as expected, and the abyss was lax, relying purely on a large number of infected trees to prop up the faΓ§ade. I didn't find a powerful monster like a boss, but there were a lot of gray-skinned human-like creatures driving all kinds of machines in the forest, and I didn't know what to do. β
This is probably the race that made the huge saucer-shaped spaceship, is the abyss planning to let them be the main force to control this plane instead of himself? Nangong Rong glanced at the nearby thoughtful Octavier, and finally said nothing, he believed that the eldest princess would definitely be able to infer more than he could from these news.
The three-headed voice continued, not mixed with any fighting or other strange sounds, as if he were reading an essay in a quiet classroom: "These gray-skinned humans are being deployed in the forest on a large scale in place of the abyssal monsters, and they have built many small outposts and military bases, but they are still far from the mountains. Most of the opponent's equipment is energy weapons, and they should also have shield technology, but it is unknown how effective it is. Anyway, the forest is now full of these human figures, and there is no way to see the main force of the Abyss, we will try to find it next, and we will send back after that. β
The three-headed report ended, and the room fell silent again.
Just when the atmosphere began to become a little awkward, Nangong Rong was thinking about whether to take out a deck of playing cards to be active, Octavier suddenly spoke: "That little guy probably can't find the main forces of the Abyss, and they are likely to have been transferred to other battlefields." β
Although Nangong Rong was glad that he and the eldest princess had the same guess about the evacuation of the abyss, he still had some doubts in his heart: "The abyss should be planning to let the race that surrendered itself control the occupied area and be responsible for running the port, aren't they worried that the other party will suddenly turn back?"
Lin Weiyin, who had a deeper understanding of the abyss nearby, immediately replied, "Don't worry at all. When I was doing things in my hometown, the Abyss would inject seed-like gadgets into the bodies of the unlucky people who were caught, and then deliberately release them to return to human society. These seeds, which contain intense abyssal energy, do not explode immediately, but only after a period of time or after being stimulated by the outside world. In other words, there is a high probability that someone who fled to the city behind a dozen or even months ago will suddenly mutate into an abyssal monster on the street, or without warning while receiving treatment related to removing seeds, thus causing great harm. Now, the Abyss only needs to modify these seeds slightly to allow the surrendered races to be injected and threaten their lives at any time, which is a piece of cake for the Abyss. β
"The so-called change means that the seed does not explode on its own and reacts after receiving the command, which is really a good method. Octavir thought for less than a few seconds before guessing what the abyss might take, and couldn't help but sneer from her nostrils, then looked at Lin Weiyin and asked strangely, "However, how did you deal with it in the first place?"
"It's very simple, isolate all the people who have fled from the front line of the rout, whether civilians or soldiers, and then use special energy fluctuations to induce the explosion of seeds, and destroy all the monsters in the sealed space, and the remaining survivors can enter the city life. β
The girl said very lightly and indifferently, as if it was just a trivial matter, but Nangong Rong knew very well how bloody and terrible it was, the place where these refugees were isolated would definitely become a hellish scene after the battle, and the cheap sister she ...... But it seems that he has personally participated in such an operation?
The young man couldn't help but sigh in his heart and stretched out his hand to touch the little head of his cheap sister, which made her squint her eyes comfortably in an instant, looking like a large docile cat.
Octavir looked at it so angry and funny that he immediately pouted with his hands in his arms and said, "Hey, hey, this is in front of me?"
"Oh, my esteemed eldest princess, don't talk nonsense, I'm just petting the cat. β
"I've noticed that your kid's skin has been getting thicker and thicker lately, and the corresponding discipline has become less and less. β
Without hesitation, the young man touched his chest with his right hand and bowed to Octavier, his movements were so perfect that he thought she was a nobleman: "Thank you for the compliment." β
The eldest princess was almost about to blow up: "I'm not praising you, and who taught that damn aristocratic etiquette, if you are a commoner who openly uses it on the streets of the Imperial City, you are not afraid of being invited back to drink tea by the relevant departments?"
"Of course, it was taught by the golden retriever, and it was said that it could be used to flirt with girls. Nangong Rong waved his hand very casually to signal that this topic was revealed, as for the question of whether he would be invited back to drink tea by the relevant departments, how could the young man who raised the anti-flag to the empire for the sake of his compatriots care, "Compared to these, should we warn the elves?" After all, the enemy on the opposite side has changed opponents, and the original battle plan may not be suitable, and it needs to be modified. β
Lin Weiyin disagreed: "What is there to remind you of, as long as Angellot is in the sky, she can be collapsed, what kind of great performance can a cowardly race equipped with energy weapons and flying warships but decisively surrender to the abyss have in the face of divine arts?"
The eldest princess couldn't help but shake her head on the spot when she heard this, obviously not agreeing with the little girl's statement: "But at least the abyss gives them the opportunity to surrender, instead of dying if they don't agree like treating us, this shows that the other party has enough strength to make the abyss pay attention to its existence." But Angelot's magic ...... Well, maybe there is no need to warn the elves, after all, they have also seen the troops and equipment of that race today, and they should make adjustments. β
Divine magic is basically unsolvable, unless the enemy has a law-level power to fight against, but arranging a boss with such a strong personal strength in such a small place is obviously a bit impractical for the abyss, so Angellot can be said to be the strongest existence in this plane - although the elf girl can't even throw a lethal map cannon.
As long as she is there, the other party's air force is no different from a group of hairless chickens.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Weiyin immediately got up and opened the door, finding that there were several scholars outside who had been mentioned in the previous communication with the Council of Elders, so that the discussion between the three of them came to an end.
ββββββββββββββββββI'm a dividing lineββββββββββββββββββ
By the time Angelot sensed that something wasn't quite right around her, things had already taken a serious turn. Originally, the girl returned to her room after reporting to the Council of Elders, and she did sleep well, but when she woke up and felt hungry and asked the waiter to bring her afternoon tea, the elf girl knew that she probably would not be able to drink tea peacefully.
The girl's system AI named Chenyu didn't wait for the waiter to put the tea and snacks in place, and suddenly said such a terrifying line without warning: "An Jie, this person has a reaction of abyssal energy in his body. β
The waiter, who didn't realize what was going on, looked confused, and then his face changed - Angelot pointed her staff at the tip of his nose, and the guards guarding the door rushed into the room, and it looked like they almost killed the waiter as an assassin on the spot.
"Misunderstanding, this, this must be something wrong!" the waiter very decisively put his hands behind his head and squatted down with his head in his hands, "I have always lived on the World Tree before, and I have never been on the battlefield, how can I be infected with abyss energy?"
When the Abyss launched a large-scale invasion, the World Tree was the only place they couldn't even touch, and naturally there was no possibility of infection, and this waiter was not only responsible for Angellot but also for the members of the Presbyterian Church, and those guys would never joke with their lives, so it stands to reason that this waiter should be absolutely reliable.
But Chenyu said that there was an abyss reaction on him, and the waiter must have met many people along the way, and none of them noticed the abnormality in each other's bodies, so the problem was a bit big.
Angelote, who didn't believe in evil, couldn't help but do a magic test on the waiter with her own hands, but the result was nothing, as if the person standing in front of her was just an ordinary person, and finally couldn't help but wonder: "Chenyu, are you sure that he really has abyssal energy in his body?"
"Sure, but the energy seems to be obscured by some very clever means, and ordinary magic detection and low-tech instruments may not be able to detect it. However, this technique has no effect on the Alliance's device at close range, and I'm sure it does. β
Angelot knew very well that the elves were able to counterattack the abyss and regain their lost ground all the way and push the battle line back to the vicinity of the mountain range, not only because they had enough force, but also because they were inseparable from the help of the system, so the girl believed in Chenyu very much, and then quickly made a decision: "In this case, let's isolate him for the time being and do a thorough and comprehensive examination." I'm sorry, I can only wronged you before I figure out what happened. β
"Of course, that's as it should be, don't worry about it, my lord. β
The waiter was very cooperative, and obediently walked out of the room, accompanied by two guards. Angellot also didn't have the heart to taste the afternoon tea, and followed closely behind to deal with the matter herself, and by the way, find someone to inform the members of the Presbyterian Church.
As a result, before he walked out of the room, Chenyu was not calm on the spot, and the elf girl's wrist shook violently, knowing that the other party was going to whisper to herself, Angelot hurriedly raised the watch to her ear, and then heard Chenyu say in a very hurried tone: "Anjie, I will tell you a very serious matter, you must keep calm and listen carefully." β
The girl nodded quietly in understanding, despite her confusion.
"That's good. Attention, there seems to be a large-scale infection inside the Tree of Life, and a large number of people passing by in the corridor in front of them have abyssal energy in their bodies, and like the waiters, they are the kind that cannot be detected by ordinary methods. β
The elf girl's face suddenly became very ugly, and for a moment she suspected that this was some kind of conspiracy: "Is it the ghosts of those uninvited guests from another world, their purpose is to spread the source of infection inside the tree?"
"Well, dear Anjie, I can only guarantee that they have nothing to do with this matter at all. If something really goes wrong, it's only going to happen to you. β
