Chapter 149: Scalding It
"Why are you suddenly willing to tell us this?"
"You should already know the purpose of the Black Balance Society, and we are not seeking to destroy everything. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Bartlett couldn't help but sneer and threw him aside: "It's ridiculous that the person who created this monster is saying that he doesn't want to destroy the world. β
"The power of the empire is too strong, and we have no choice but to do so. Lawrence didn't mind Bartlett's ridicule: "And, in order to gain power, it is necessary to try and sacrifice." β
"Sacrifice someone else's life?" Ian, crouching down and examining the body of the demon worm, interjected coldly. For something, he still haunts it.
"I can also sacrifice myself if necessary. β
"No kidding. Ian scoffed at this, not believing it at all: "If that's the case, your mind isn't so good at running for your life." β
He stood up and slashed the body of the demon insect with a sword, and suddenly the already strong fishy smell in the cave became more intense, making the two ladies quickly cover their noses and retreat a long distance.
"This ...... What is this for?" Miss Julie couldn't help but ask.
"Lord Ian is examining the anatomy of the worm so that we can better understand its weaknesses and characteristics, so that we don't have nothing to do with its 'mother'. After Master Clark explained to his granddaughter, he also ran to the front of the demon worm and crouched down.
The demon insects in front of them made everyone feel extremely troublesome, and no one dared to be sure how many of these insects were now, let alone whether they had really inherited their "mother" characteristics. If it is really as Lawrence said, then let alone the Northern Regions, the entire empire will not be at peace.
"We need to collect some samples and take them back for study as soon as possible. With the faint light of Becky's fire, Master Clark took out a magnifying glass, touched the body of the demon worm, and kept picking a piece from it and putting it into the pre-prepared material bag.
"This one is too huge, tomorrow we will continue to move forward, this demon worm has many, many more ...... ahead"
Ian stood up after the inspection and walked in the direction where Lawrence and Bartlett were.
"Tell us what you can tell us. He said to Lawrence.
"Okay. Lawrence nodded, and after discovering such a state of affairs, he also had to make some compromises. After all, what they want to do is not to destroy all of humanity.
"There is nothing wrong with the potion you have found. "But it seems that even we have misunderstood what it does," he said. β
"What do you mean?"
"We thought it was a natural disaster, but it turned out otherwise. He shook his head: "It is impossible for a sleeping scourge to reproduce itself. β
"You knew from the beginning that it had the ability to reproduce itself?"
"Actually, we don't know. Lawrence smiled wryly, "The professor left many years ago, and then my master took over the lab. My master had no intention of controlling the scourge, so he didn't probe it anything other than keep it still. β
"The professor didn't tell your master this?"
"Of course. Lawrence nodded: "Just like the Black Balance Society is a split from one of the factions of the Balance Society, there are actually two factions within the Black Balance Society. My master is an inclined and my professor is an egalitarian. In fact, the relationship between the two of them is not very good. β
"Leaning, egalitarian?"
"One is made up of the vast majority of sinners, and is more inclined to save sinners. The other is some of the Imperials who previously agreed with the idea of the Balance Society, and of course, their ideas are more idealistic. In short, in the final analysis, it is just forced by the pressure of the empire to rely on each other and use each other. Lawrence shrugged.
Ian was slightly stunned, he roughly understood what the other party meant. There are also factions in the Black Balance Society. One of them is closer to the imperial legend and is more of a pure nationalist. The other leans towards the idea of the equality of all beings. Threatened by the Empire, these two contradictory factions had to support each other for survival. And the means to achieve their ends are biased towards violent solutions.
However, there was one question that made Ian a little strange.
"According to this statement, as a member of the Empire, shouldn't you be on the professor's side?"
"Who told me to fall in love with a girl who was a sinner? Lawrence laughed self-deprecatingly, and then said: "Besides, there is a supreme head on it, and although the two sides sometimes pull each other's hind legs, there will basically not be much conflict, and it can barely be regarded as a 'pleasant' cooperation."
"But this time it seems that they have tricked you. β
"No, professors, they shouldn't know either. Lawrence shook his head: "After all, relatively speaking, we leaners are more dangerous than egalitarians." β
"Okay, let's turn the conversation back. Ian pursed his lips, not believing that the egalitarians who made the first disaster would be safer than the leaners, "What do you think this potion is for?"
"God knows. Lawrence rolled his eyes, "It could be a sedative, it could be a coagulant, or maybe it was this thing that caused Astharius to reproduce itself." I really hope that there will be an Potion Grandmaster in the Northern Regions. β
"Is there any way to kill all of these worms?" Ian gestured to the corpse of the slender demon worm beside him.
"You can try to wake up Asathys, maybe by doing so, the larvae will all be burned to death. Believe me, my master doesn't want it to wake up at this time, but after all, I can't stop you right now. Lawrence gloated, "Of course, we'll be burned too." β
"Burned?" Ian frowned.
"yes, burn to death. Lawrence pouted, "What do you think the fully awakened Astharius looks like?"
"At the northern end of this area, deep within the Purgatory Wasteland, are ash volcanoes, so the magma flow in this area is closer to the surface than anywhere else. And the tail of Assasis was stuck in the rock flow. Its upper shell has numerous ravines that allow it to use underground lava against the current when it draws heat from the ground. So once it wakes up, all the tunnels here will be swallowed up by magma. β
"Can't it burn itself to death?"
"In fact, when the professor found out that he couldn't control it, he seemed to want it to burn himself to death......" (To be continued. )
