It is said that after 8,000 years of disappearance, the Calamity returned to the world from a hell full of torture and torture, once again challenging the heavenly realm and rebelling against the extremely consecrated caste order of the gods. This is the first time since Yama (the Hindu god of death) was the first to die and all beings have followed, this is the first time that someone has returned to the world without reincarnation. Fear gripped the world, and the brahmins, dressed in saffron-colored robes, prayed that the sword-wielding Manjushri and Yaksha would ward off the great enemy. People say that Brahma heard......

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"A big city with at least five million inhabitants ......," Aisha muttered to herself, as if shocked by the city built on the riverside in front of her. Sensing the fluctuations in his thinking, Muhaditong Guò came to a similar conclusion.

A large city of five million people, placed on the earth in the Middle Ages, was more than double the population of the five largest cities of Constantinople, Damascus, Baghdad, Cairo, and Córdoba combined. With the technical level of the geographical pre-current level, it is inconceivable that it can support such a metropolis.

"It's just a big dung pit for at least five million people, let's find a place quickly, I can't stand the smell here. Fahd waved his hand in front of his nose and said in disgust.

Unlike Attas, who seems to be forever dry and rainless, the rain in this world seems to come as soon as it is said. The weather was unusually humid, and the rain and fog made it hazy. As if sensing the appearance of a few strangely dressed strangers, the priests, who were turning the prayer wheel with their fingertips, stopped praying and gathered around. Many civilians who came to bathe here also gathered around to watch, perhaps because of the hot and humid weather, all of them ** feet.

Muhadi noticed that the older men mostly wore an armband of steel and agate stone on one arm. There were almost no women in sight in the crowd, and it was not known why.

"What are they shouting?" Fatumah saw a large crowd of people surround him, a little nervous, and his right hand involuntarily rested on the handle of the weapon. Indeed, as she said, the crowd around them shouted in an unfamiliar language and seemed very angry. Some wild dogs also jumped over, barking unaware.

"Do you understand their language?" asked Fahd.

"No, but I have an ability that can help me understand the other person's language. Muhadi said, immediately concentrating. In an instant, the words of the locals became understandable.

"The gods of the four realms, the eighteen heavens, no one can match. A priest with a head chanted. "Create zào all things, dominate the high heavens and the lower realms. The lotus flower is born on the umbilicus, the rivers and seas are soaring with both hands, and within three steps, the world is under your feet. The drums of war ring for your glory, and fear beats into the hearts of your enemies. The golden wheel is held in the hand, and the snake is used as a rope to restrain the calamity. Hooray, in the name of Brahma, strangers, why do you carry weapons and break into this sanctuary of peace?!"

Is this a temple or not? Muhadi looked closely, and saw that the mud field where he was standing was surrounded by a broken wooden fence. A statue of a woman with six arms and four faces facing four directions is placed in the middle of the mud. The statue wears a high crown and is dressed in a kmiz. (A knee-length robe commonly found in India and Pakistan)

"What are they talking about?" Fatoumah asked urgently.

"They want us to disarm. Aisha answered her question, and no doubt she had translated the other person's language with her abilities. The strength of the female psyker has improved rapidly, and although she has not yet reached the legendary realm, she can be called talented.

"There are no doors!" said Fatoumah, who, like her brother, carried a silver blade with her. That's what she captured in previous battles. The girl couldn't put down the love of Silverblade, almost crazy. And as a traditional tribal samurai, asking her to disarm is almost the same as asking her to strip naked. "Kill them! Muhadi, I know you have the skills. Kill them for me!"

"I don't think there's any need to do it as soon as we meet. Fahd observed. "Although they were unarmed, there were too many of them. Maybe we can have a friendly conversation with them and tell them that we Atas warriors are always armed, it's our culture. ”

Muhati nodded, it was still more reasonable for Fahd to build yì. So he used a bit of psionic skill to silence all the onlookers and listen to him. "Don't be careful, stranger. Muhadi said to the priest who was doing it. "We have come for peace, and we have no intention of stirring up strife here, but I cannot disarm myself. I'm from Attas, and our culture does not allow self-respecting warriors to be unarmed. ”

Like a boulder thrown into calm water, Muhadi's words caused an uproar. "He said he was from Attas!" "It's over, run, tell the Earth King!" "Don't kill me!" "Scourge!" "Scourge Star!" "Scourge Star!" The crowd erupted into a chaotic scream, and the onlookers ran in all directions, and even the priest of Wei sat down on the ground in fright, struggling to crawl backwards. "Brahma is great, your illness can't hurt me!"

Later, the scene was painted on frescoes in numerous corridors, carved into the walls of the remnants of the Brahma temple, and depicted on the domes of numerous palaces. The man who had been regarded by the Mistaras as the Scourge, the Demon Rider, the Lord of the Plague, and Muhadi had returned from Hell and arrived on earth. On his left hand stood his most trusted general, and on his right stood his two women. The crowd panicked and desperately tried to run away from him, and a wild dog, frightened by the movement of the crowd, curled up on the ground with its tail drooping.

Fahd and Fatumah looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Aisha seemed to sense something and said to Muhadi. "Do you hear what they call you?" the frightened priest could no longer stand up and began to stammer, reciting the Vedas.

"Calamity. Muhati nodded solemnly, indicating that he had also noticed the strangeness. The sound of the word seems to be an Athas, perhaps a foreign word. ”

"Have you ever heard of the word 'Scourge' meaning 'High Evolutionary' in the Atas language, if you take it by the original pronunciation of the word?"

"Yes, I did. Muhathir admitted. Briefly recounted to the other three about his experience of straying into an ancient halfling dead city. The High Evolutionary is a rich and great scholar in the ancient halfling civilization, who used the biotechnology of the height of the halfling to strengthen his body to the limit, so he is called a high evolutionary. After the Red Tide burst, he was betrayed by his rival and tried to use time travel back in time to prevent the fall of the halfling civilization, but his whereabouts are unknown.

Is it possible that a High Evolver has ever been in this world, and why is he considered a scourge?

With these doubts in mind, Muhadi stunned the limp priest with his ability, lifting him up and clamping him under his armpit. "Let's get out of here first!" he said to his companion. The light of the teleportation ability flashed, and the muddy floor that had been overcrowded a moment ago was empty.

Muhadi teleported to a place where there were no people, and it seemed to be some noble man's Zhuangzi. Lush gardens and white marble halls are nestled in lush greenery, and leaf-laden paths are deserted. An intricate statue is placed at the intersection of two paths, and the statue depicts the Roc Goldfinch grabbing a terrifying monster with its claws and attacking with its beak and wings.

Muhadi threw the captive priest to the ground and mercilessly began to read the contents of his brain, not caring that it might turn him into an idiot.

The Psychic Warlock concentrated his powerful abilities and sliced into the depths of the priest's soul as easily as a razor sliced through cream. His own strength is growing day by day, and Muhati is relieved to realize. Before the salt sea, it was impossible for him to probe a person's mind so easily.

What is the scourge? He rummaged through the other person's mind relentlessly.

Moments later, Muhadi found the answer in the priest's head.

Eight thousand years ago, almost shortly after the fall of the ancient Attas halfling civilization, an Atas halfling arrived in a world known as Mistara.

At first, he was welcomed by the locals. They are curious about the halfling, and learn that he comes from a distant world called Athas. They gave the halfling food and took him to his own city for celebrations and feasts.

But disaster followed, and strange diseases suddenly exploded, one after another, and the Mistara who had been in contact with halflings fell ill. They had strange moles growing on their bodies, unnaturally high fever, gibberish, coughing up blood, and finally dying miserably.

The Mistara called it the Black Death, and it took the lives of countless Mistara people, turning cities into dead cities, and leaving thousands of miles of fertile land uncultivated. And this is just one of a hundred deadly diseases. Malaria, cholera, anemia, smallpox, tuberculosis, dengue fever, and other strange diseases that the Mistara people had never heard of before broke out, and the earth kings and untouchables could only tremble and wait for death.

Soon, those who survived the disease were first spread by people who had come into contact with the Atas halfling. They began to see the Attas halfling as the source of the plague, and the Mistaras, along with their gods, were furious and wanted to execute the Attath visitor.

Unexpectedly, after hiding for a while, the halfling actually started to fight back. He used evil techniques to turn ordinary animals - such as tigers and snakes - into ninety-nine terrifying monsters such as Rakshasa demons, Naga serpents, asuras, Ganesha people, and the mother of heat, and hunted mortals everywhere. He also created ninety-nine new plagues, each more violent and deadly than the other, to stop the gods and mortals from hunting him.

Generations of plagues have ravaged the world. Every time a new generation of Mistara seems to fill the world again, a new horrific disease explodes, killing ninety-nine percent of all living beings. Since then, the name of the Attas halfling has become the meaning of the calamity.

Seeing that the world was about to be ruined, the great god Shiva was merciful, and he had sex with his wife Uma at the lake of the gods for a hundred years at a time. His Linga pillar of optimus spewed out countless seeds and flowed into the holy river, and since then the holy river has been filled with the vitality and fertility of the gods. As long as the people of Mistara are immersed in the holy river, they will become invincible to all poisons, and they will no longer be afraid of the plague of the calamity.

The religion of the Mistara people, the sexualists, encouraged them to multiply and fill the world once again. That's why the world has such a large population and a strange custom of bathing in the river en masse.

After rebuilding their civilization, the Mistara and their gods hunted down the halfling monsters and won success. The Attas halfling disappeared from Mistara's history, and many believed that he had been sent to hell and could never be reborn.

But the fear of Atas's visitors has been passed down from generation to generation in the world of Mistara. In the mythology of this world, Athas is simply the root of all evil, the abyss where the most terrifying nightmare monsters are entrenched. No wonder when Muhadi claimed to be from Attas, everyone was horrified, and they feared that they would be infected with a new plague.

After reading these messages from the priest's head, the guy was bleeding from all seven holes and was out of breath. It seems that Muhadi's psionic energy was so powerful and violent that it burned his brain.

It seems that although his strength is stronger, his control is not as accurate as in the past, and the psychic warlock thinks that he should practice more in the future.

However, even from the information we have received, we can analyze the general context of the situation. Undoubtedly, the High Evolutionary failed to save the ancient halfling civilization, and was disheartened and came to this world called Mistara. But Atas is a much more cruel world than Mystara, where the disease is even more deadly, and the halfling has inadvertently brought deep disaster to the world.

In the history of the earth, when the Iberian colonists came to the Americas, they also brought with them the cold, a disease that was common in the old Big 6. Unexpectedly, the cold, which did not pose much threat to the inhabitants of the Eurasian Big 6, dealt a fatal blow to the aborigines of the American Big 6, whose struggle for survival was relatively relaxed. In a very short time, the Aztecs were weakened to the point of extinction by the diseases brought by the Europeans. The High Evolver came to Mistara with the same consequences.

After being surrounded and suppressed by the natives of Mistara and the gods, the High Evolutionary chose to fight back. He used the technology of the ancient halflings of Atas to create all kinds of mutated monsters. It is the Rakshasa demon called by the Mistara people, Naga Snake and other monsters. He also created all kinds of diseases and spread them in this world. This gave rise to the strange custom of the Mistara people to bathe in the holy river and banish the plague.

Perhaps the High Evolver was eventually wiped out by the Mistara and their gods, or perhaps he fled to other worlds. In short, when Muhadi claimed to be from Attas, the locals had already seen him as a returning star.

Muhathir told his companions what he was saying, and Fahd was amazed, while Fatoumah seemed to be a little confused, and repeatedly asked for some details. Aisha asked him, "What now, if it is indeed as you say, these Mistaras will soon start hunting us down, just as they once hunted down the High Evolutionaries." It is also dangerous to learn from their false gods who will also intervene, and continue to stay in this world. ”

"You're right. The psychic magician agreed with the other man. "We can't be seen by the locals at first, and then we'll find a way back to Attas. ”

"When we dress like this, they can tell at a glance that we're not locals. Fatumah gestured with his hand to chop off his head. "Just find a secluded corner, kill a few lonely people, and grab their clothes and change them. ”

Muhadi nodded, he and Aisha could transform with morph abilities, but the two elves couldn't. "Then let's get into the crowd first, kidnap a local mage or something, and send us back to Atas, or Seal City. "He presented himself as a psychic sorcerer Muhadi in front of Fatoumah, so naturally he could not use Rajat's abilities to cast magic. What's more, the more magic is used, the stronger the soul of the primordial warlock will become, and in the end, it will be the main object.

"Besides, what you dug up from this priest's head may be of great use to us. Aisha said. "Aren't we planning to colonize this world, if the High Evolutionaries of the past could use the mutated monsters created by plague and biotechnology to wreak havoc on the world of Mystara. Then I suppose the modern Artas-Dah Spencer Druids can do the same, and your Miss Camilla should be able to do it. ”

"Do you know that Kamila is now allied with me?" Muhati felt strange when he heard Aisha mention the name of the female druid.

"She flew back to Ulrick City with you in her arms that day, and many people saw it. The female psychic whispered and said, looking down at Muhadi.

"Camilla does have the ability to create plagues and mutant monsters, but diseases and monsters can't hurt divine creatures. As you heard me say, this world has its own gods. ”

"Atas was once home to many false gods, and the primordial warlock Rajat and his warriors wiped them all out. Aisha gave Muhathir an idea. "If you can convince enough witch kings to join forces, you don't have to fear the false gods of this world at all. ”

"Most of the witch kings are afraid that they will kill me soon. Muhati shook his head slightly. "How is it possible to join forces?"

"I've heard," Aisha said in a hesitant tone. "In the battle of purification, the primordial warlock also summoned the demons of the lower realm as tools of war. Maybe you can figure it out from this aspect. ”

The idea is somewhat feasible, Mohamadi thought. "I'll remember that. Now, let's think of a way to disguise yourself as a local. ”

They then set to work, and the garden was so secluded that only faint human voices could be heard in the distance.

Both elves were outstanding warriors and could walk without a sound. The Psychic Warlock and Aisha were even more adept, as long as they didn't want to, few people could detect their approach.

Muhadi and his companions lurked along the garden path when a middle-aged man barefoot with only a white wrap around his waist passed in front of them.

The Psychic Warlock motioned for everyone not to attack, and waited until the man was far away before he told everyone the reason. "Before that priest died, I didn't dig up much information. But I know from his head that the people of this world are hierarchical, and they call them castes. The man is a low-caste dhara, and there is no point in pretending to be him. ”

After a while, two more men approached. They were also barefoot, but they were much more ornate than the dhara they were wearing. They wore yellow waistcoats and shorts, all embroidered with intricate patterns. Both wore armbands on both arms, one of steel and agate stone, the other of silver and jade.

The two talked as they walked. "Sun Suriya is about to be surrounded by dark clouds. One of the men said.

"Indra is slaying a dragon. Heavy rain can come at any time. The other man replied.

(Indra, one of the deities mentioned in the Rig Veda.) Also known as Shakti, he is the god of war of India. According to the Vedas, the evil god Phorido turned into an evil dragon and seized the world's water. Indra killed it, thus regaining the moisture of the world with rain and dew. ）

Based on the limited information that had been dug up from the minds of the dead priests, Muhadi judged that they were two Kshatriyas. He motioned to his companions to attack as soon as they entered.

Muhadi savagely used his abilities to mercilessly bombard the souls of these two men. They seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then their heads were decapitated by the silver blades of Fatuma and Fahd. Aisha could see clearly that the two men had been bleeding from the corners of their eyes, mouth and nose before the scimitar reached their necks, and they were dead. So the female psychic didn't make a move.

After killing these two people, Muhati appeared, they turned out to be very powerful warriors, these two people's bodies are very well-proportioned, without a trace of excess fat, flat lower abdomen and thick arms seem to contain infinite explosive power. The people that the psychic warlock had just seen by the river looked like they were all nourishing, their ribs were clear and numerable, but their stomachs were round. I didn't expect these two high-caste Mistaras to be so strong, almost not inferior to the Atas warriors.

Then, the two elves exclaimed at the same time. "Look!" Fatoumah cried out as he took Muhadi by the arm and pointed to the weapons worn by the two men.

Her surprise was justified, the two men also had scimitars pinned to their waists, but they were more slender and slightly less curved than Atas's. What's really striking is that these two weapons are so ornate! The handle appears to be made of pure gold, and is inlaid with rubies and emeralds the size of a fingernail, making it look more like a work of art than a weapon.

But they were indeed lethal weapons, and Muhadi noticed that the blades of the two scimitars shimmered with a magical aura visible to the naked eye. Both weapons have extremely powerful enchantments that reduce their weight and increase the power of their slashes.

On Attas, only wealthy warriors could afford metal weapons. Enchanted weapons are few and far between, and almost all of them survive in legends. Such a powerful enchanted weapon is undoubtedly equivalent to a huge fortune.

These two dead inexplicable Mistara men must also be excellent warriors, and if they were to face each other, they would not be much inferior to their elven siblings. The two of them are together, and Muhati may not have parried a few months ago.

Now, their clothes, weapons, and accessories have been stripped of and used as camouflage props for Muhadi and Fahd.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

It is said that the day of the return of the plague will show many signs and signs that will foreshadow future wars of extermination. The rain kept falling, as if the sky itself was weeping over the catastrophe that the world would experience in the future. As night faded, Vishnu's mount, the Roc Goldwing, which could destroy chariots with its beak, stirred in its cage. It awoke from its slumber with a hoarse cry to warn the earth kings and maharajas of impending calamity.

It is said that when Calamity changed his head and his shadow was hidden in the crowd, only an old grey crested finch saw through his disguise. The bird circled three times above the head of the plague star, and then landed on his shoulder, and said to him, "Are you not the scourge star, the demon rider, the source of the plague?

"No, my name is Muhati. He replied. "And I'm leaving, not going in, I'm going back to Attas. Who are you?"

"A bird who was once a poet, I was disrespectful to the gods, so they punished me for being reincarnated in this body. I've been flying ever since the mournful cry of the Golden-winged Roc bird kicked off the day. I saw many, many things, Muhadi, Lord of the Plague. ”

"What do you see, the birds that were poets?"

"I saw the world torn apart by war, and the mighty armies of the Otherworldly Realm crushed the armies of the princely states. The Maharaja united in a panic, but there was nothing they could do. I saw that even the gods of heaven were relegated to earth. Finally, I also saw the plague lord that I had mentioned in my poem a long time ago, who was once thought dead, but now returned to the world. Hated by the heavens, feared by the gods. He came, to end a world. ”

"I'm glad for you, bird, that you have had the opportunity to see so many things. Muhati said. "Unfortunately, the truth in poetry is often very different from what is in reality. ”

"Hooray! Demon Rider!" it leaped into the air, and just then, a strong acid arrow pierced its body.

People say that from then on disaster befell the world.
