Chapter 318: People are still weird
Looking at the "skin" that was constantly fluttering on the ground and the strange blood spilled on the deck, Xiug naturally thought of the "color of life" that originated in a long time.
Then a Calon touch quickly poked out, and it slid its end lightly across the blood, bringing a little blood to Shug's face.
In the midst of the beating colors, a familiar sensation came through, and Xiuge was convinced that this parasite, which had been mutated from a piece of skin on Badosa's back, was indeed closely related to the "color of life".
Although the vitality contained in these blood is quite thin, Xiuge can still clearly capture the special traces from ancient times, and when he uses his magic perception to capture the signs, he will even faintly have a slight impulse in his heart, which is a kind of instinctive pursuit of life force energy.
Poor dwarf Badosa finally barely managed to get up from the deck.
The healing magic pages that Xiuge threw out before had fully played a role under the effect of magic, and the emerald green healing light that escaped tightly wrapped Badosa's body, and the incomparably hideous wound on his back also healed quickly under the effect of magic, except for the slight pain that remained, Badosa had now returned to normal.
He cautiously hid behind the table and chairs, stared in horror at the strange beings that were constantly fluttering and jumping on the deck, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What about ...... What the hell is that? ”
"As you can see, Master Badosa, it is a piece of skin on your back...... At least it used to be. ”
Hearing Shug's calm answer, the dwarf instinctively wanted to touch his back with his hand, but the constant tingling sensation dispelled him, and he looked at the "skin" that could no longer be described by common sense, and his lips trembled, but he could not say a word.
Shug glanced at Badosa and saw that he seemed to have dissipated his hostility towards him, so he began to deal with this special parasite in front of him and those traces of blood, the power of the "Ray of Life" is very special, it may not be as dangerous as the descendants of the abyss of ancient creations, but if it is not handled properly, it may cause some chain reaction.
Therefore, while completely sealing off the parasite, Xiuge also used his magic power to collect or erase all the abnormal blood scattered on the ground, and under the effect of the abyssal magic, the abundant vitality and residual imprints brought by the "Color of Life" were completely eliminated.
As for the parasite with extremely vigorous vitality, it is now completely locked in a cage made of magical power, and no one can see the things in it through the surging magical brilliance, only Xiuge knows that the parasite has maintained its vigorous energy until now, but compared to Xiuge, its strength is too weak to break through the blockade at all.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Shug took away his rather terrifying-looking magic, he turned to Badosa's side, quickly checked his condition, and after confirming that there were no more abnormal signs on Badosa's body, he raised his hand to help the other party sit on the chair.
Under Badosa's uneasy gaze, Shug snapped his fingers slightly, and a rudimentary stream-level repair magic worked on Badosa's broken clothes.
Bardosa's clothing was just a few very ordinary dwarven costumes, with no magical rituals attached to them, so a simple repair spell would be enough to close the rift, but as with all repair magic, this level of recovery would only last for a while, and after the mana was gone, the clothes would still revert to their torn appearance.
The dwarf looked up, he licked his dry lips, reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and after glancing fearfully at the magic cage floating beside Shug, he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you...... Thank you, is that thing dead? ”
Xiuge shook his head: "No, it's still alive and kicking now, but I can guarantee that it won't be on top of you again...... This kind of magical creation is very strange, and with the existing magic system, I am afraid that there is no way to make such a thing. ”
Badosa's mind was still quite clear, and after listening to Xiuge's words, and then thinking of Xiuge's past experience of confrontation with the Black Sun Society, he immediately reacted: "You mean, this thing is the Black Sun Society......"
"I can't guarantee it, I can only say that it is very likely."
Xiuge turned his head to look at the magic barrier shrouded in the side, and sighed: "I'm afraid it's already a mess outside, but fortunately everything is going well, at least Master Badosa you haven't fainted now, otherwise I really can't explain it." ”
"Hmph...... Mr. Schugg, it is as natural for us to repay others for their help as it is to drink alcohol, and I will help you to clarify. ”
Seeing that Badosa was very cooperative, Xiuge decided to strike while the iron was hot, and he nodded: "I'm afraid it's not safe on this Windless One, if you are willing to trust me and the Dawn Society, please come to our cabin as soon as possible...... I'm afraid you're not the only one who is suffering from these things, and we'll need to sit down and talk about it if we want to figure out why. ”
Hearing this, Badosa immediately remembered the tingling and tingling sensation coming from his spine, and his face twitched, and then he nodded his head hurriedly.
……
The riots that took place on the deck of the Windless were quelled with astonishing efficiency.
When the magic barrier that cut off the sight was removed, everyone found that there seemed to be nothing unusual between Xiuge and the dwarf Badosa who had broken out in the conflict before, there was neither any blood on the table nor any trace of a struggle next to the table and chair, Badosa sat on the chair with good dignity, and the clothes on his body seemed to be intact, but his face was a little pale and his lips were a little pale.
Wei Lin and the rest of the spellcasters all noticed the magical glow floating next to Xiuge, and the mages' expressions changed slightly, and mages above the stream knew that this was a very standard "magic cage", which was specially used to control and imprison some smaller magical creatures, or to temporarily isolate dangerous alchemical items.
This is enough to show that some hidden and unknown events have indeed happened just now.
However, at this time, Badosa took the initiative to speak, and he told everyone that he had been accidentally attacked by a wild mage a few days ago, and a special needle had pierced into the muscles of his back.
But any normal person can see what Badosa is hiding, but since the person concerned has spoken, they naturally can't continue to investigate, but this riot has added a few mysterious colors to Xiuge himself and the Dawn Society, and at the same time, it has also given these passengers on the boat some fresh things to talk about.
Although the dwarves are known for their rude and cautious manners, they will also show enough respect and caution in the face of trouble and danger, and the newly traumatized Badosa did not even return to his cabin to change his clothes, so he directly led the members of the Dwarven Mission to the cabin of the Dawn Society with Shug and the others.
Not only were the dwarves here, but there was also a valley-level mage from the Dharma, who was one of the heads of the Dharmas on the Windless Cruise.
After a brief discussion, Shuge and Verin agreed that the matter required the witness and participation of the Legislative Committee.
The sudden appearance of a parasite on the body of the dwarf Bardosa suggests that the enemies they are on their guard have not been unmoved during the past few years, and that they are secretly pushing their plans forward in some way that can hide from the magical rat hordes and the magical rituals on board.
There is no need to think about it, there is a high probability that what is happening today will also be noticed by them, which is very likely to make them adopt some new strategies or speed up the original plan of action, and accordingly, Xiuge and the others need to respond accordingly.
It would be safest to disclose the findings to the Legislative Committee and let the entire fleet of the Windless be on heightened vigilance.
After all, relying on the current ability and influence of Xiuge and the others, I am afraid that it is not enough to carry out sufficient infiltration and inspection of other ships other than the Windless, especially warships, and if they want to conduct a thorough investigation, they must cooperate with the Judicial Committee in this matter.
When the cabin, which had been able to accommodate only ten people, was crammed into nearly twenty people at once, the venue became crowded, and in front of the head of the Law Committee, Shuge and Weilin checked the remaining members of the Dwarven Mission, and the results were surprising.
In addition to Badosa, four other dwarves were in a similar physical condition.
Identical parasites appeared in parts of their bodies, and after several mages worked together to remove these monsters, all of them turned a little pale.
It's not that people haven't seen dangerous magical creatures, but they've never heard of a living human whose skin can come to life and become a strange creature parasitic on the human body.
Five "skin bugs" were placed in an empty sink with reinforced magic attached, and looking at the strange tentacles and the elongated fangs that held their bodies in place and paralyzed their victims' perceptions, everyone felt itchy and eager to take off their clothes and check them again.
"Mel is on top, I swear, I never dreamed of such a monster."
The Dharma's Valley-level mage looked at a strange insect that kept hitting the walls of the sink, his facial muscles contorted, and it was clear that he was not very receptive to such a life form on a physiological level.
"It really shouldn't exist, at least not in today's Vann...... If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid it's a deformed embryo catalyzed by the Black Sun Society using some special power or drugs. ”
In this kind of matter, Xiuge had enough say to crush everyone present, so when he spoke, everyone in the cabin consciously shut up.
"I can tell you with certainty that on the day I boarded the Windless, I had already detected traces of the Black Sun Society near Cyanobacteria Harbor...... Therefore, after boarding the ship, the Dawn Society has been trying to find their traces. ”
"However, it was not until this morning that we had made some new breakthroughs, and it is clear that the Black Sun Society is extremely well prepared in this regard, and I highly suspect that they have taken advantage of some omissions on the Windless, or deceived individual passengers and crew to move some hidden dangers to the ship. ”
This time, there is no need to ask too many questions.
As the number one victim, Badosa immediately took the initiative to stand up, he took a pen and paper, and asked the members of the Dwarven Mission to list the places they had visited and the people they had come into contact with in the past ten days as quickly as possible.
Looking at those dense names, Xiuge had a headache, and he asked, "Master Badosa, how can there be so many people...... Coming to you? Is this your external strategy? ”
"What a foreign strategy!"
Hearing Shuge's question, Badosa bared his teeth and cursed: "Dwarves have never been so 'popular' in the past few hundred years as they are today, but anyone who can speak must come up and ask us if we can rent craftsmen, if we can rent weapon technicians, if we can make new weapons on a large scale...... It's really a bunch of 'giant-eared ground elixir' miscellaneous pieces, each of which sounds good, but when it comes to money, the voice is small, and we waste an unknown amount of time on this! ”
When Badosa cursed this, Hug noticed that the face of the head of the Legislative Committee standing aside had changed significantly.
Obviously, Merlin and his delegates are also in the category of "giant-eared ground refinement".
Shuge picked up the list, and he quickly scanned the jumble of place names and names, and then his gaze fixed on a somewhat strange name.
He turned his head to the dwarves and asked, "Which of you has this Leger scholar met?" ”
A female dwarf with a bleak face stepped forward, one of the "skin bugs" was plucked from her body, and in order to ensure the safety of the female dwarf as much as possible, Verine was almost bitten by the strange worm.
So, Xiuge asked with some confusion: "This Leger scholar is also looking for you to buy weapons?" ”
"Weapons? Fart weapons. ”
Badosa shook his head: "That guy first looked for me, saying that he wanted to find our craftsman to customize something...... Being able to sail a boat below the surface of the sea so that he could conduct his own research more easily and catch more magical creatures of the sea, I thought he was a fool, so I asked Ye Na to receive him. ”
The female dwarf named Ye Na nodded busily: "Indeed, Scholar Legel said that he is willing to pay enough money for this matter, and hopes that we can set up a workshop in the Duchy of Boult to develop this kind of ...... A boat capable of diving. ”
Xiuge's eyes became subtle: "You agreed?" ”
"Of course not!"
Ye Na shook her head: "This kind of thing is unreasonable when you hear it, if you want to dive, let the mages attach a few magic rituals, tie them to a rope and throw them into the water?" Why so much trouble? ”
"I rejected the matter at the time, and Scholar Leger was obviously scolded by us, but he was not angry at all, and gave us two bottles of the new spirits of the Duchy of Boult...... I think other people are weird! ”
