Chapter 123: "The Plague"

Soon, Michelle withdrew her arm and used a water of life to treat the wound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Then, she rolled down her sleeves and returned to her usual appearance, as if nothing had happened just now.

Benjamin looked at the well as if he had seen the gates of hell open.

"You ......"

"What are you worried about? It's not a real plague, it's just a curse. Michelle's face looked a lot weaker, but her voice was still the same cold, "All we need is chaos." Those who have been cursed will show some symptoms of the plague, and with the huge water balloon before you, there will be panic in the royal capital. Under the pressure of the people, the church could not continue to lock down the royal capital, so that we could escape without any problems. ”

As she spoke, she paused deliberately, revealing a hint of a playful sneer: "You don't really think that I'm going to spread a plague in the royal capital, do you?"

“......”

Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew very well that Michelle was a person who would do whatever it took to achieve her goals, but she wasn't quite murderous. If she wants to say that she wants to kill innocents and kill all the people in the royal capital, she shouldn't be able to do this kind of thing.

And curse this thing, Benjamin also has a certain understanding. Ordinary curses are cast face-to-face, and it is actually very difficult to spread curses through water sources. Unless there is some special method, even if it succeeds, the power of the curse will be greatly reduced.

Casting a curse through one's own blood should be a special method. But no matter how special the method is, she can't really kill the whole city with this, right? If that's the case, then this thing is too rebellious.

If it's just a few symptoms that don't really kill people, that's still acceptable.

But......

The strange change in Michelle's mental power still made him feel very wrong.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "Why did your mental power suddenly become so strong? The last time I saw you, you weren't like this." ”

Michelle didn't seem to care, and replied casually, "That's the benefit I got from that mage's legacy." Including this special curse technique, I couldn't use it in the past. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but be stunned.

Mage's Relic?

That's it...... Despised by him and the system, saying that it is probably useless, what is left behind after the death of "Soul Flame"?

Groove ......

Benjamin suddenly felt like his bowels were going to turn blue.

If his spiritual power could also be improved in this way, the giant water balloon at that time would not have been released like it is now, and even the rune water would have exploded.

Alas......

However, Benjamin, who was in the midst of regret, immediately realized another problem.

"Since you've become so powerful, there's no need to be afraid of the church. Wouldn't you just force your way through the gates, would you need to go so far as to release the curse?" he immediately asked.

"What I'm improving is only mental power, not elemental affinity. Michelle replied, "My magic strength has not improved much, I can't fight the church head-on, and no matter how strong my mental strength is, it's useless." ”

Hearing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder......

In fact, for a mage, elemental affinity is the most important attribute. It determines how many elements the mage can mobilize, determines the power of magic, and as for spiritual power, it plays more of an auxiliary role.

However, the improvement of mental power alone is already amazing enough.

After all, it has not improved by one or two points, but by more than ten or twenty times!

It's true...... It's a little weird.

Benjamin was puzzled, so he asked a few more questions. However, Michelle immediately reverted to that approach to Benjamin's problems, once again leaving Benjamin at all helpless.

Benjamin had no choice but to give up the question.

Obviously, the other party didn't want to say more, and there was no point in him asking again.

At least, judging from the current situation, Michelle really wanted to save him from the royal capital. In this case, he didn't bother to deduct the rest of the details.

As long as he survives this month or two, he will be able to repair the cracks in his consciousness space and restore his magical strength. As long as his strength is restored, no matter what intrigues Michelle still has, he doesn't need to be afraid anymore.

Until then, Michelle can do whatever she wants. Benjamin didn't want to care, and he couldn't.

And just like that, after casting the curse, Michelle briefly dealt with the traces of their stay. Soon, she took Benjamin with her and left the abandoned backyard for another hidden place as their new hiding base.

In the process, Benjamin also entered the space of consciousness again and continued the work of mending the cracks.

Because of this, he didn't notice that when he left that backyard, Michelle's face suddenly showed a gloomy look for a moment.

So, the days when the two of them hid in Tibet began.

The chaos that Michelle expects will require fermentation time, and during this time, they can only keep moving their base to avoid the church chasing them.

In the process, Benjamin also managed to inquire a little about the current situation of the Reeser family. Strangely, however, the church only launched an investigation into the Reeser family and did nothing else. The whole family lived in the house well, and was not arrested by the church for colluding with the mage.

Although Benjamin was puzzled by this, he was still a lot relieved and could focus on his current situation.

His own situation was not easy. In order to avoid the frantic search of the church, in just seven days, they moved to more than ten places.

Most of the transfers were done at night, but in some cases, Michelle would take him with her, disguised himself, and make him look like a normal person. During the day, they will blend into the busy streets and move on to their next stronghold.

Although Benjamin didn't know what the basis for her judgment was, she had been a member of the church and had been dealing with the church in another capacity for so long. Therefore, Benjamin is still relatively relieved.

It also turns out that Michelle is very good at avoiding the church. Paladins on the streets come and go, coming out of one house and going into another house to search. But after seven days, they were still empty-handed, and they found nothing.

And in these seven days, the seeds planted by Michelle with her own blood also slowly germinated.

The curse spread to the homes of the royal capital as the water flowed. The next day, quite a few people began to fall ill throughout the city. They had a high fever, convulsions, and confusion. Since this day, there have been no vacancies in several hospitals in the royal capital.

In this way, a few days passed, and the doctors in the royal capital were still helpless. The number of patients is increasing every day, but they have not cured a single patient.

A panic gradually spread among the royal capital.

All kinds of rumors are flying in the streets and alleys. Some say it's a punishment from God, others say it's a mage's conspiracy...... The imagination of the people is always very rich, especially when combined with the huge water balloon of the past few days, the story that can be deduced is even more bizarre.

Regardless of what these rumors say, but, in the end, they all point in the same direction.

Church.

After the execution and the fall of the water balloon on that day, the church also issued an announcement that "Grant" had degenerated into a lackey of the devil and that the water balloon that day was also a magical force. Therefore, they closed the entire royal capital and wanted to arrest "Grant".

In this regard, although the people feel that life is inconvenient, it is still understandable.

-- On the premise that the "plague" did not break out.

Once the "plague" broke out, the people of the royal capital were like swarms of bees that had been stabbed, scurrying around. They were afraid that the "plague" would spread to them, and they couldn't wait to escape for refuge, but the city gates were closed by the church, and no one could get out. As a result, they became increasingly resentful of the church.

In the first two days, everyone could bear it, but with the futility of the doctors and the increasing number of patients, gradually, some people could not stay anymore.

On the fifth day, there was an incident of rioters storming the city gates, but not many people participated. Because of this, they failed and were killed by all the paladins defending the city, leaving not a single one. Then, the restlessness in the city subsided at once.

Obviously, this temporary lull is nothing more than the calm before the storm.

As long as the "plague" is still spreading, it is impossible for the royal capital to really calm down. The people's dissatisfaction and desire to survive are still accumulating under the dead silence on the surface.

Finally, in the early morning of the eighth day, the situation changed.
