Chapter 468: Mutation

"No, we still have business. Although Leo had already chased away the guest, neither of them got up, and Su said to Leo with some seriousness.

"What's the matter?" Leo looked at Sue, who had a serious expression, and then at Mira, who had an equally serious expression, and guessed, "Is it related to Death Valley?"

"Yes. Mira nodded and said with great seriousness: "That guy mentioned some strange things that happened in Death Valley when he left Death Valley, and these strange things are very similar to the Emerald Dream when he recorded falling into the abyss. ”

As she spoke, Mira told the situation of Death Valley that the wolf gang had just said about it, along with the record of the Jade Dream falling into the abyss.

Although the tribes of the Moisan Continent Wasteland do not have the habit of recording history, the tribal shamans have the custom of recording various major events of the tribe, such as the Lord of Nature no longer responds to the shaman, and things like the change of the Jade Dream are recorded, and it is not the shaman record of one tribe, but the shaman of all tribes, which is why the record of the disappearance of the Lord of Nature and the accident of the Jade Dream is extremely detailed, so detailed that even if you just look at these boring records, you can also make the reader feel immersed.

Although these materials can only be read by the official shamans of various tribes, Mira's identity is special, she has read these records when she was very young, and read these records as a storybook, and the shaman and the wizard cooperate to divide the Emerald Dream because it is the most detailed, and she has read it the most, so she also remembers the relevant content very clearly, so she can immediately judge that Death Valley should be a fragment of the Emerald Dream when the leader of the wolf gang tells about Death Valley, and it is also a fragment that has almost fallen into the abyss。

Because according to the shaman's records, when the Emerald Dream began to fall towards the abyss, the first thing that began to change was the animals and plants of the Emerald Dream Realm, all the animals and plants began to twist and grow, and grew into monsters that were completely different from before, and these monsters changed their previous peaceful temperament, and all became bloodthirsty and aggressive.

Killing or eradicating these monsters will not only not eliminate the trouble, but will make the trouble bigger, because the blood and sap in the bodies of these monsters are all black oily substances, and after killing them, these black oil substances will fall on the land of the Emerald Dream, and the land will be corroded and turned into black oil swamps, and there will no longer be any living growth.

This is not the most dangerous place for black oil substances, the most dangerous thing about this kind of thing is that as long as you touch this black oil, then you will definitely be infected, but this infection is hidden, and the infected person cannot be found in a short period of time, until the infected person's body mutates.

Once infected, no matter how strong that person is, they cannot resist the effects of the infection, except that the power of these shamans has changed, and even their temperament has become as bloodthirsty and brutal as those monsters.

It is precisely because this black oil substance is extremely destructive to the jade dream realm that the shaman at that time also recorded the most black oil substances, and even suppressed his antipathy to wizards, and included the materials of wizards studying these black oil substances into the shaman's record book.

When the leader of the wolf gang mentioned the reason why he left Death Valley, he mentioned that there was a plague in Death Valley, many residents of Death Valley were sick, only a few people were not infected, and all the sick people had different degrees of mutations, and some people even had some abscesses on their bodies, and some abscesses flowed out of those abscesses, which looked very terrifying.

When Mira heard this, she immediately thought of the accounts of the Emerald Dream falling into the abyss, because the two were so similar.

However, after hearing the follow-up, I felt that something was wrong, because according to the leader of the wolf gang, those who fell ill recovered quickly, except for the mutation of their bodies and some black oily substances in their blood, the character and habits of these residents were the same as before, and the situation was completely different from what Mira knew.

However, the matter did not end there, because almost all the people in Death Valley were infected with the plague, and their bodies were mutated, which made these residents' perception of beauty and ugliness also change, and the more strange the appearance, the more beautiful they felt, and there were less than twenty people like the leader of the wolf gang who had not mutated, and they were all regarded as ugly people by the inhabitants of the valley, and they were always ostracized and hostile.

Over time, these people who did not mutate couldn't stay any longer, and left Death Valley one after another, and the leader of the wolf gang was the last normal person to leave Death Valley, and after he left, only those mutated residents were left in Death Valley.

The leader of the wolf gang has been an orphan since he was a child, and he has no relatives or friends in Death Valley, and he is used to seeing the flowery world outside, where is he still interested in returning to that dead place, so the premise that she agreed to lead the way this time is that he will only take Leo and them to the entrance of Death Valley, and not enter Death Valley.

"What do you think about this?" Leo thought for a moment after listening to Mira's words, and asked Mira, "Why haven't the personalities of those mutated people changed?"

Mira thought for a moment and said, "I think it should have something to do with wizards. ”

"I think so too. Su also said: "When the wizard transformed the jade fragment into a secret realm, he should have made some arrangements on it to prevent the fragment from falling into the abyss again. However, it is clear that the wizard's arrangement is not perfect, and the jade fragments are still inevitably changing. ”

"Hmm!" Leo thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed possible, and the sudden disappearance of Count Drake may have something to do with it." As she spoke, he looked at Mira suspiciously, and said, "Why do you want to go to Death Valley if there is something in Death Valley that can wreak havoc on the Emerald Dream?

"It's my own business, it's inconvenient to say. Mira had no intention of telling Leo what she was going to Death Valley.

Leo didn't ask much, thought for a moment, and said, "You want to tell me that there will be other unexpected dangers on this trip to Death Valley. ”

"Yes. Mira nodded and said, "And it's very dangerous, there were cases of tower wizards and ancient shamans dying under the attack of those mutated monsters, although it sounds like those mutated people in Death Valley still retain their sanity, their temperament has not changed, and they have not gained any special powerful power, but we still need to make some preparations in advance." As she spoke, she looked at Su and said, "I heard from Su that Your Excellency seems to know how to make wizard potions, and I have a method for making wizard potions here, can you see if you can make them?"

As she spoke, she took out a sticky note from her pocket, which was densely filled with some words, and it seemed that she had written it not long ago.

Leo took the sticky note paper and looked at it, it detailed the process of making a wizard's potion and the medicinal materials used, judging from the way it was written, the person who wrote it should have been hundreds of years ago, and the words and sentences were very archaic, with obvious characteristics of the northern language family of the Minsk continent.

After reading it once, Leo had memorized the above content, handed the note back to Mira, and said: "It's not difficult to refine the potion, I can refine it, but the premise is that the materials you use on it are complete, and there are no mistakes or omissions in the method you wrote." ”

"Your Excellency really knows how to refine wizard potions, it seems that I was too worried before. Mira generously admitted that the content she had recorded on the sticky note was a little incomplete, and then said: "I will give the complete prescription to each family later, and I will also prepare the necessary materials at noon, I hope that Your Excellency will be able to successfully refine this potion by then, because this medicine is related to the safety of our trip to Death Valley." ”

"What kind of potion is this?" asked Leo.

"It's a potion to ward off the infection of that black oil substance, and it was researched by the wizards of the Tower and the shaman. Mira replied as she stood up.

After speaking, she nodded to Su, and then hurriedly walked out of the room to arrange the collection of materials. Although she had some influence in Migne, the materials needed to refine the wizard's potion were so strange that it would be difficult for her to collect them in a short period of time. It's just that the trip to Death Valley is now the most important thing for her, and she must make sure that nothing goes wrong.

Only Leo and Sue were left in the room at the moment, and Sue didn't seem to have any intention of leaving immediately, but looked at Leo with interest and said, "You didn't finish what you just said, right?"

Leo didn't deny it, but looked at Sue with interest and asked, "How did you see that?"

"A woman's intuition. Su smiled, as if confused, and said.

It's just that Leo doesn't think that Sue was fooled later, and it is likely to be true, because a woman's intuition is still an unsolved mystery even in the scientific community of the Earth Federation.

"I really have something to say. Leo got back to business and said, "Just now Mira Pombeco said that the people of Death Valley still retain the sanity of normal people, which I don't agree with, in my opinion, those people are probably the same as the animals and plants in the Emerald Dream Realm, both in body and mind. ”

"Why? don't you think they're normal?" Sue asked, looking at Leo puzzled.

Leo asked rhetorically, "Do you think it's normal? If those inhabitants were children, they were all adults who had already formed preconceived ideas and thoughts, and their perception of the world could not be reversed in a short time under normal circumstances." If it were you, how long would it take for you to accept that your appearance was ugly, and how long would it take for you to think that you were ugly when you were ugly, and that other normal people were ugly monsters?"

Su faced this question, opened her mouth, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and then she also fell into deep thought, as if she was seriously thinking about Leo's question, and after a long while, she slowly said: "You should never be able to accept your own transformation, let alone think that your appearance is beautiful." ”

Leo asked, "Do you remember what the leader of the wolf gang said, how long did it take for the valley dwellers to accept their changes, and even change their perceptions?"

"A few days. Sue quickly answered Leo's question, and then said, "Do you think those people changed because of mutations?"

"That's for sure. Leo nodded and said, "However, Mira Pombeco is also quite right, some of the arrangements left by the wizards of the Tower have played a role, so that those people are not completely mutated. However, we shouldn't be too optimistic now, because the memory of the leader of the wolf gang is several years ago, and Count Drake should not have died at that time, but now that Count Drake is dead, it is likely that some of the arrangements left by the Tower wizards in Death Valley have also lost their effect, and those people have completely mutated, in that case, we may have to face the monsters that could pose a threat to the tower wizards and the wasteland shamans. ”

Su was silent for a moment and said, "Are you trying to make me give up this mission?"

"It's not. Leo shook his head and said, "I'm just asking you to prepare yourself, if something really happens, I may not be able to help you." ”

"Hmph!" Sensing that Leo underestimated his ability, Su Leng snorted, stood up, walked outside, and said without looking back: "Don't worry, I don't need your help, and I will return this sentence to you, I won't help you when something happens to you." ”

With a heavy sound of the door closing echoing in the room, the room returned to Leo's state of being alone, but at this time he did not lie on the bed to rest, but casually picked up a sticky note paper, wrote down the wizard potion refining method he had just written down, and then carefully studied the wizard potion refining method.

In fact, when he saw the wizard potion refining method on the sticky note paper just now, Leo had already aroused his desire to study, because he found that the process of refining wizard potion recorded on this piece of paper could solve many of the questions he encountered when refining wizard potions, although the content was not very much, but after all, this was written by the wizard of the tower himself, and in order to be able to make the wasteland shaman understand, the writer wrote down all the refining steps in as much detail and simplicity as possible, which was like handing them over.

What Leo has to do now is to integrate these methods of refining potions into his own methods of refining potions, so that he can become familiar with this more advanced method of refining potions as soon as possible, because judging from the list of wizard potion materials and refining methods given by Mira just now, this kind of potion specially designed to deal with the erosion of abyssal power is difficult to refine, and it is also a big challenge for him.

However, he was also able to gain a lot of knowledge from the refining method of this wizard potion, so that his ability to refine the wizard potion was improved by at least one level, which was definitely a benefit that money could not buy, of course, the various precious materials used in refining the potion did not need him to come out, nor did he need to collect, which was also an additional benefit.
