Chapter Twenty-Six: Worms of the Black Sea
"Cursed?" Ander looked puzzled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info "What's that?"
"A special way of killing, look, my lord. Murphy stretched out her hand, a little purple light lit up on her fingertips, and she put her fingertips on Ash's forehead, and the unconscious little girl immediately showed a pained look. Then, Ander saw an extremely terrifying scene: from the festering wounds on the girl's body, slender black bugs actually emerged!
"This is the root of the curse, my lord, the worm of the Black Sea. This plague is probably not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, and some people deliberately spread curses in the Ottoman Empire. Murphy's expression became serious.
Ander's face sank, and his instinct told him that he had probably touched on a huge conspiracy, and that this plague was probably just the beginning.
Emma next to her was confused: "What kind of bug? I didn't see anything?"
Murphy glanced at her: "Of course you can't see it, without the magic eye, mortals can't see the worms of the Black Sea." β
"Can it be cured? Murphy?" Ander asked.
"It's easy, but I have to borrow something from you. Murphy looked at Ander in a fool's eyes.
"What?"
"Your blood, my lord. β
"My blood?" Ander was taken aback, "My blood can still heal?"
"If this is really a plague, of course your blood will not work, but it is a curse, my lord, you have eaten the fruit of the World Tree, and your blood can destroy any curse. Murphy explained slowly.
It turns out that Gilgalot has eaten such an awesome thing, and the fruit of the World Tree looks very hangy when he hears it. Ander thought to himself.
"How much blood does that take? Don't drain me. β
"Don't worry, just one drop is enough. β
Murphy's pointed nails poked lightly on Ender's fingers, and Ander only felt a little itchy, and blood came out of his fingers. Murphy magically picked up a drop of crystal clear blood with a clip between her index finger and thumb, and then she broke Ash's pale little mouth and sent the blood bead inside.
Emma's heart jerked up and she couldn't help but hold her breath, her hands clenched tightly to her chest, her knuckles pinched white.
Ender's blood effect was very obvious, after a few breaths, the black lump on the little girl's body disappeared quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, the festering skin healed quickly, and in just a moment, the little girl's body was intact! Although the little girl still did not wake up, her face was no longer painful, her breathing gradually stabilized, and her pale face finally regained a little vitality.
Seeing her favorite sister get better little by little, a huge emotion suddenly rushed out of Ash's heart, and she couldn't hold back it anymore, tears welled up in her eyes. All the time, all the perseverance is worth it, all the pain is worth it!
Seeing Emma crying, Ander gentlemanly took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it over.
"Thank you, sir. Emma took the handkerchief, and she wiped it while crying, but she couldn't stop the tears.
Ander felt sorry for the poor girl, and he squeezed out another drop of blood and sent it to Emma. "You can drink a drop too. β
Emma looked at the blood beads on Ender's fingers, and the handsome cheeks of the pear blossom with rain were stained with a layer of pink. If you want to drink blood beads, you have to kiss the fingers of adults.
"What's the matter? Drink, aren't you infected by the curse too. Ander didn't understand the girl's mind, and urged very incomprehensibly.
Emma bit her teeth lightly, leaned down, and touched Ender's finger like a dragonfly, and when she looked up, her cute little face was completely red.
"Thank you...... My lord. Emma bowed her head like a docile canary.
Drinking Ender's blood, Emma suddenly felt a warm sensation spread from her stomach, and after a while, it flowed all over her body. She rolled up her sleeve, and the black lump on her arm was disappearing quickly.
Emma finally smiled with joy, the poor little girl had been through so much pain and suffering this week, and now, she could finally have peace of mind.
Once she relaxed, the sleepiness hit her like a tidal wave, and Emma shook her body and barely stood still.
"You go get some sleep, too. Ander took out a fur coat from Crimson Eye and draped it over Emma's thin shoulders, "Go and put your sister in your arms, and the two of you can sleep together." β
Emma sniffled, almost crying again, and she bent down and bowed deeply to Ender, "Thank you, noble magician. β
Emma walked over and took her sleeping sister into her arms, the two girls huddled in the warm fur coat, the cold disappeared, Emma felt warm in her body, and her heart was also warm.
After a while, Emma began to snore slightly, and the two sisters fell asleep cuddled together. Emma has a warm smile on her face, she might have a good dream tonight......
Ender's eyes moved away from Sister Emma, he turned his head to look at Murphy beside him, and asked, "Murphy, how much do you know about the curse? What kind of curse is the Black Sea Worm? It can spread like a plague and kill so many people, what is the force behind this death massacre?"
Murphy carefully explained: "The curse is the patent of the sorcerer, those shady guys like to study this weird way of killing, I don't know much about the sorcerer, this group is very mysterious, I only know, the Black Sea Worm is a very advanced curse, this kind of cannibal blood worm is only available in the Black Sea, the spellmaster will eat the Black Sea Worm into the body, and mix the Black Sea Worm with magic in his own body, and the Black Sea Worm curse was born." β
"The power of this curse is very powerful, according to the historical records of the demon race, 10,000 years ago, the great spell master and demon king Letister was the first to invent the curse of the black sea worm, and then he had a dispute with another lord of the demon race, and in a fit of rage, he put the black sea worm in the territory of the demon lord, and as a result, all the creatures in the territory died, and even the lord did not escape in the end. β
"After this incident shocked the entire demon race, it was called the Black Worm Tribulation in later generations, and the Black Sea Worm has also become synonymous with the Spellcaster, almost every Spell Master will disregard his life to cultivate the Black Sea Worm, in order to get this terrifying power, this group of madmen even did not hesitate to use various creatures for experiments, whether it is humans, elves, dwarves, or demons. However, after 10,000 years to the present, although the Black Sea Worm is still terrifying, it is no longer impossible to crack, even without the blood of the Demon King, I can also crack the Black Sea Worm, but the efficiency is too low, and the success rate is not high. β
Ander listened to Murphy's words very carefully, and then he grasped the key point very keenly: "Murphy, the Black Sea is located between the Continent of the Gods and the Demon Realm, and humans rarely go to the Black Sea, and the curse of the Black Sea Worm was also invented by the demons, could it be that this curse was created by the demons?"
"This is very likely, but it does not rule out the possibility of other races, and it may even be human beings themselves. Murphy said with a serious analysis. "Humans' ability to learn is very terrifying, they learn magic from elves, and they learn fighting spirit from dwarves, the Black Sea Worm has been learned by humans a thousand years ago, as far as I know, several large-scale plagues that have broken out in human history have the shadow of the Black Sea Worm. β
"Yes, indeed, you're right. Ander pondered what was behind this death massacre, and he couldn't help but pace up and down the hut, feeling as if he had missed some important clue, but his mind was a mess and he couldn't remember what he had missed.
Think about what news you've gotten these days. Ender remembered in his mind: curses, plagues, riots, coups...... Coup d'Γ©tat!
Ander recalled the morning of his departure, he had talked to Rollin and Eriman about these things before leaving, and learned from Eriman that there had been a coup d'Γ©tat in the Ottoman Empire, and that the second prince Corman had imprisoned his father for the throne, and then thought of the recent plague of the Empire, and the large-scale infection in the east and west, but the king seemed to have nothing to do. If you think about it further, Dongjing is in charge of the eldest prince Liszt, and according to the inheritance rules of the kingdom, the eldest prince is the first heir to the throne. And the leader of the Westland is Duke Belesman, a war maniac with the title of "Heart of the Lion", and he is not a member of the second prince Koeman. The plague will undoubtedly greatly reduce the strength of the Eastern Mirror and the Western Realm, and this is exactly what the Second Prince Koman wants to see.
After analyzing it in this way, Ander feels as if he has discovered the truth - the second prince Coman wants to eradicate dissidents!
