Chapter 147: Purple Dirt
"What's wrong?" Tarrant kept rubbing his throat, not unusual to the touch, but the priest's expression scared him.
"Look in the mirror," the priest points to a distant mirror.
Tarrant staggered to his feet, and after a night's rest, his strength didn't seem to recover, and he walked over to the mirror, "This is ......"
"Graydon's appearance may have been an accident, but Lovell has some plans in place," Kira Veton shook his head helplessly, "You and Katrina have already fallen victim to it. â
"What the hell is this, ahem!" Tarrant was almost attached to the mirror, the skin from his chin to his chest was pale purple, especially the part of his throat was very distinct, and the distribution of blood vessels in it was as striking as a black river.
"At least, we know the cause of death of that corpse, pollen," the priest said back to the bed, "they must have invaded the body's respiratory system and spread throughout the body, and then you would be like ......" the priest yawned and laughed.
She's right, Tarrant cleaned hard, it didn't help, those shit things were inside the body, and the vegetation like tiny mushrooms was multiplying in his veins, inexplicably panicked, Tarrant was breathing, the vegetation was spreading, damn it, he ...... A chaotic picture of small, dense, fluffy mushrooms soaking up his blood and air, treating him like a hotbed of damp rotting wood!
Kira Veton "coughed, coughed" twice, "Why am I not infected?"
Tarrant looked back at her sharply, "You don't have any signs of coughing?!"
"Not so far," she said, looking down at her chest. "It's still so wonderful. â
"Do you need a spell?" Tarrant closed his eyes and carefully recalled the whole process that had happened last night, the sewers, the Chamber of Secrets, the Wrath of the Banshee, the three of them had not separated, etc., "Did anything happen when you went to attract that lump of sludge?"
"No", the priest did not hesitate.
"Is it an exemption", Tarrant paced to the bed, which was very unlikely. Under Maxine's protection, Tarrant's physique and tenacity are superior to Kira Vidon's. "What special have you done?"
"Who knows," the priest's sly eyes turned to Tarrant's body, "I proposed to Catrina, and you didn't." â
"Katrina!" Tarrant punched. "She's in the same situation as me!"
"Squeak-" The wooden door to the room opened.
The two looked towards the door. No one. Kirawyton rolled over and sat up.
"Smack!" the wooden door slammed shut.
Undisguised invisibility!Tarrant quickly picked up the elven badge that had fallen to the ground.
"Don't be nervous", Catrina's voice slowly appeared. "Ahem!" she wrapped in a thick cloth cloak, which was deeply hidden except for her hands.
"Ah-" the priest mocked with a snap of his fingers, "almost forgot that you can't see the light." â
"I'm sorry," Katrina shrugged helplessly, "Ahem! I don't want people to see it." â
"How are you......" Tarrant walked up to her, just touching the cloak hat when the mage stopped him, "I understand your situation, I'm just like you", he pulled back his shirt.
"How...... "I didn't sleep all night, I thought it was a bad cold, but when I woke up, I found myself ......" She noticed the priest's chest, "Is there nothing unusual about Kira Veton?"
"I'm fine," Kiraweton jumped out of bed, "you two look terrible, maybe you'll be plants by the moon tonight." â
"Ahem!ahem!" Katrina almost slumped in her chair, "I haven't heard of anything like this, it must be... Ahem, that mage created zĂ o's magic species. â
"Do you need magical energy to attract them?" Tarrant asked, "but I'm not a magician. â
"No, this reason doesn't explain why Kira Veton isn't infected", Katrina unbuckled her cloak, her entire neck turned purple, "Same situation, doing the same thing, cough !!" She shuddered violently and spit out a faint purple liquid, "Those vegetation are always plants, not complete magical creations, they should grow like grass in nature needs to grow in the soil, which is not the same as the exemption, Magic has nothing to do with it, Lovell has adapted it to the human environment, and as long as there is a suitable carrier for them, they can be infected, as it should be in theory", she fell into deep thought.
"Hmm......" Kira Veton clasped his hands to his chest as she looked at the liquid that Katrina spat out, "what do you think Lovell's plan is?"
"It's an irresistible control technique," Tarrant stated, "and that's the conclusion of your squad. â
"I did think that before," Kira Veton took a step back, "but now it's not so sure." â
Katrina looked up, "What do you mean ......"
"Think about that secret room, how long it will take to cultivate the vegetation of the entire space, he must have spent more energy on these things", Kira Veton suddenly remembered, "Katrina, what did you say when you entered the secret room!"
"What?" said Katrina, dazed.
"What did you say in strange language?"
"Hmm...... Lofer counts on the wall, and the last number is 2. â
"So......" Tarrant thought, "the great miracle he wants to accomplish is the creation of this plant?"
"Yes, he's done, he's just one last step to announce to everyone the birth of this plant!" exclaimed Kiravidon, "it's impossible to get those plants to climb up to the ground on their own, they need help!"
"Ahem!" said Tarrant, a little sad, "he had already thought of a way and planned to implement it tomorrow, but the presence of Graydon and us made him plan ahead of schedule, and we became a display stand. â
"But...... Plants like zĂ i have long existed in nature", Katrina questioned, "For example, the monkey trapping tree that feeds on the blood of living creatures, ahem! The turquoise moss that can live on the skin of animals, the plants that this ancient wizard has cultivated with all his heart and soul are not great miracles", she looked at her two teammates, and the three of them thought about the same question, "unless ......"
"It's contagious!" the team said together.
Kiraweton pointed to the two victims, "It turned you two into large mushrooms, and then evaporated small spores to spread to others, perhaps the infection process began at the same time as you were infected, and the air you exhaled was constantly attacking me...... Every object that the infected person touches, including animals and people, will turn into mushrooms, and it is impossible to predict how big the danger is, and half of the people died in a week from the last plague in Siant, and it is hoped that this time Siante will not become a botanical garden. â
"It's a serious question," Tarrant frowned, "Kira Viton, you should get out of here immediately, no, you have to notify the security forces and let them block the sewers, pollen will spread from the secret room, cough! Everyone who enters the cemetery is in danger, the grave keeper, the scavenger, the family members of the memorial, the children of the orphanage, many people have become potential sources of infection, we are in big trouble!
"Is it too late? Think of the grave keeper, who has been talking to you for so long, and the coachman will sleep in the carriage you have been in, the maid of the inn, the house of Katrina, these have become threats, and the source of infection is out of control", the priest shook the bottle lazily, "I hope there will be someone making dragon wine at that time, or I will die alone." â
Tarrant leaned against the wall, each source of infection producing several times more infected, "What should I do?" his mind was confused, as if the end was about to be inevitable, "Maybe a cure can be found before a widespread contagion." â
"It won't be that easy", Catrina stared at Kira Veton, "if a cure can be found in a few days, Lovell is pointless, it will definitely resist ordinary magic and potion healing." â
Kira Verton put on his leather armor, "Do you have any gold, I need to stock up on enough dragon wine." â
"Wait!" the mage stood up, "I have an idea," she walked over to the priest, "it's stupid, but it must try." (To be continued......)
