Chapter 189: Auction Event (9)
"What I just dripped is an extract solution of a magic plant 'Black Gold Bamboo', everyone here is a well-known person, if you don't know the efficacy of this potion, you can ask the alchemist who specializes in potions.
To put it simply, this agent is used to test the poisoning effect on humans and animals, as long as there is a toxin that is harmful to life, it will react as it has just happened, and the only limitation is that it can only work on the toxin that dissolves in blood, that is, it can only do a blood drop test.
Of course, this also proves that this piece of paper is soaked in blood, and it is still blood with deadly toxins. ”
"So my father was also poisoned and died?!" asked Mulendin.
"I can only say that the cause of death was poisoning, but it is difficult to say whether it was poisoned or not, because this toxin is contagious!"
"Contagion!"
"It's so terrible! ...... the letter is now."
"Get out of here, I don't want to be so unlucky to be infected!"
The people present heard Xiao Yi say that the toxin can be contagious, and they immediately became confused.
"Everyone, please don't panic, according to my judgment, this toxin should only work on a specific group of people, to be exact, it can only work on the human race with the blood of the barbarian race!
You may not believe my judgment, but there is no need to be so afraid of this letter, if the virus carried on it is really so powerful, there are not many people who have come into contact with it in the past hundred years, but no one has been heard of being harmed by it except for the people concerned, General Miros and Mr. Grigory.
So even if it's not an indiscriminate infection that is only effective for a specific group of people, the toxins attached to this letterhead are not enough to harm the people who come into contact with it, otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand here and explain this to you, would I?
Of course, I won't stop everyone from leaving, but that will make it seem that this letterhead really has a terrifying and mysterious power, so it will have the same effect as the previous 'cursed letter', and I have to thank everyone for giving this lot a disguised proof to increase its value!"
"Hehe......"
Seeing Xiao Yi standing in front of the letterhead and speaking easily, the scene that was about to get out of control gradually subsided, and occasionally there were one or two chuckles to hide the panic just now. ??·
"And the reason why I say that this is a toxin that only targets fixed races is not unfounded and just speculation, everyone......"
With Xiao Yi's arrangement, a set of documents and records appeared on the curtain.
This is the famous human geographer Saradick on the mainland, which made a detailed discussion of the historical changes and the reasons for the sharp decline of the population of the Barbarian Tribe, the predecessor of the Principality of Clark, which once mentioned that in the internal war of the Principality of Clark after the second great fusion of the tribes, the domestic population was reduced by more than half because of a rampant epidemic, which led to a significant decline in national strength and missed the only opportunity to develop into an empire, and since then it has been targeted by the hostile Vieira Empire, which has started a continuous harassment and aggression for decades。
I think people who are interested in the Duchy of Clark should know something about this history, but the important point I want to point out is that when he mentions the cause of the epidemic, he cites the research manuscript of an alchemist who traveled to the territory of Clark during this period, and in this manuscript, he mentions that this epidemic is no less harmful than the plague has a strange feature, that is, it only applies to the aborigines of the barbarian tribe in Clarke, and all the people from other countries who were in Clark at that time were not infected, and he also speculated based on his own research that the source of the virus may have come from a special lesion caused by the bloodline of the barbarian tribe。
After Clarke's destruction of the country, Saradick claimed that he had personally invited the alchemist named Marshall to conduct an in-depth study with him when he was writing the book, but after a period of time, this person did not say goodbye, although there was enough evidence through Clarke's own literature to show that the cause of the infectious disease was roughly true, but after all, it was a pity for himself that he did not form a systematic conclusion and publish it to the world.
Based on the description of the symptoms of the virus, especially the smiling faces of the corpses due to hallucinations, it is almost certain that both General Miros and Mr. Grigory died of the virus!"
"So, Mr. Shaw, do you mean that my father's death was only caused by the fish in the pond, and not by man-made poisoning...... Mulendin mused.
"Please listen to this, because according to my reasoning, although it may not be poisoned, it is indeed man-made!
Note that Saladik's book records the exact time of Marshall's disappearance, which coincides with the time when the Vieira Empire declared all-out war on Clark, and Marshall is a native of Vieira!"
"So you mean ......"
"The Vieira Empire saw the value of Marshall's research and based on this to reproduce the infectious virus of the year, and used it as a weapon to launch a conspiracy against Clark, of course, from the results of the later war, they were not able to completely cultivate the same virus as back then, but after all, they still made some progress.
The replicas they used were far less powerful than the infectious diseases of the year, otherwise the outcome of the war would not have ended in Clark's victory, so although the virus would not cause a large number of deaths in the short term, it could always lurk in the human body and break out from time to time.
So this is why Mr. Gregory died of illness after many years, and the unusual behavior of King Clark and the intention of General Milros to write this letter are perfectly explained.
Knowing that his physical condition was the same as the large-scale epidemic of the year, he knew that he would die soon, and his first thought was his lover who had been waiting for him for many years, but it was conceivable that the grief she endured after his death would accompany her for a lifetime, and then the Vieira Empire would inevitably fight back again, and Clark, who had been hit by a deadly infectious disease again, was expected to have no chance of winning, so that the damage suffered by her lover would inevitably add a hatred, and being a citizen of Vieira's allies would make her fall into a more desperate predicament.
What could be more tragic than watching your lover be killed but not being able to take revenge!
So General Miros decided to sacrifice his reputation, pretending to abandon his beloved lover in despair, hoping to use time to heal the damage caused by his departure, it is hard to imagine what kind of inner torture it would take to make such a difficult decision under the great ** and mental pain, and even then he still did it.
Because this may not be the best outcome for Ms. Epna, but it will ensure that she will not do stupid things for the sake of love to compromise her own safety.
This is a selfless, stoic and unforgettable love, and I am sure that my father knew the inside story of this special means of love, otherwise he would not have deliberately approached a woman who has played a key role in the history of the destruction of his own nation, full of 'pathos' and 'ominous' after more than 20 years!
As the last batch of national bloodlines sent out at the juncture of the country, it is impossible to be ignorant of the truth, and his father who still has not escaped the invasion of the virus is actually very thorough and detached.
When he died, the letter in his hand was not an accidental discovery of some hidden secret, but a sign that he had fulfilled the mission in his heart! He paid tribute to this great but tragic love with his life! Even if it turned back and broke its sorrow, it always contained the purest love in the world!
I think for such a love, the word 'great' is the most appropriate label!"
Xiao Yi's voice stopped, and Mulendin on the other side had already burst into tears.
