Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hundred Poisonous Weeds
"Okay, I'll tell you," Ryder and Jane looked at each other, and Ryder spoke first, "In the process of growing, the Hundred Poisonous Grass will give birth to all kinds of toxins, which can be as many as hundreds, and at the same time, it will spread the toxins into the air, and the plants and animals that live around it will be poisoned and die, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is highly poisonous. ”
"Isn't it dangerous here?" Li Ao couldn't help but feel that he had taken a big step back, and he almost defended himself.
"Don't worry, these poisonous herbs have already been formed, and once they are formed, they will no longer release toxins. Looking at Liao Ao's movements, Jane kindly added.
Ryder nodded at Rive and affirmed Jane's answer, "Well, after they are formed, they will collect the toxins that were originally released and store them in the body as nutrients. At this time, even if it is slightly touched, it will not be poisoned. ”
"Can you explain it in the future, my little heart can't stand it!" As soon as he heard that it was okay, Liao took another big step back to his place. Don't bring such scary.
"Who's to blame for only half of the words!" Lianhua mended.
"I..."Li Ao just wanted to fight back, but Ryder spoke in time, diverting Li Ao's attention, "Hundred poisonous herbs can be refined into a very powerful poison, and it can also be used as an antidote to fighting poison with poison, and its growth environment is also very harsh, requiring a more extreme environment." As for why there is a large area here, I don't know!"
"This, maybe it's also fate!hahaha!" Li Ao said optimistically with his hands plugged in. "Can this grass cure zombie disease?"
"I have seen such a record in the literature of the Imperial Capital Cathedral, the toxin of the hundred poisonous herbs can dissolve the toxins of zombie diseases, I think the ancestors have done experiments and succeeded. Ryder affirmed.
"I can't see that this grass is quite powerful!" Li Ao squatted down and carefully admired the hundred poisonous grass.
"Dissolve?" Lianhua keenly grasped Ryder's words, he didn't say cure, but dissolve, which was very subtle.
"Well, it's a solution, the hundred poisonous herbs can only dissolve the toxins of the zombie disease, and I need something else to study if I want to completely cure the zombie disease. As long as the toxins of zombie disease are resolved, there are still many ways to partially recover the body. Ryder didn't hide it either, he told the truth.
"What else do you need?" asked Jane and Lianhua in unison. This must not be easy.
"The pathogen of the zombie disease!" Ryder said with a serious expression.
Sure enough, as Jane and Lianhua guessed.
"It's a weird name. "Rio's goosebumps are back up, and this thing has been going on so often lately. "Where's this thing? How do we get it?"
"Let's go back to church!" this is not the place to speak, Jane suggested.
Naturally, no one would object to this proposal, and the four of them returned to the church the same way, and there were more people in the antechamber of the church, which was not suitable for talking about the current matter, so Ryder took the three of Lianhua to the room where he was resting. The room was small but clean, the bedding was neatly stacked on the bed, and the writing desk and bookshelves were spotless. People who love cleanliness are usually more self-disciplined.
"Sit down!" Ryder said casually as he walked into the room, to the people behind him.
As a result, after the three people went in, they saw that there was no one sitting in such a clean room.
"Huh?" Ryder looked at them with some confusion, what was going on?
The three of them tacitly pointed to their clothes at the same time, pointed to the bed, and shook their hands.
"It's okay, you're going to stay here tonight. To reassure the other three, Ryder sat down first.
With Ryder taking the lead, the others were not polite and found a place to sit down. "Let's continue the topic just now, where are we going to get this zombie pathogen!" After sitting down, Liao couldn't wait to ask.
"The zombie pathogen is in the City Lord's Mansion!" Lianhua gave the answer.
"At least looking at it now, everything has nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion. Jane added. "And this city lord has never shown up, it stands to reason that he should report to the imperial capital for such a big matter, and ask the imperial capital for help. But he didn't do anything, just the women and children in the evacuated city, which is so strange!"
"Then you mean that the city lord is behind this incident?" asked Li Ao.
"No, he's a victim!" Lianhua directly denied Liao Liao's question.
Lianhua's words made Jane fall into deep thought.
Without waiting for Liao to ask, "Why?", Ryder took the first step to explain to him, "I don't think so, before coming here, I investigated Kasro City and this city lord in the imperial capital, and the information shows that he is a mid-level martial artist, and the maker of the zombie disease is a very powerful necromancer, from his ability to study the zombie disease, the church's literature defines this person's strength as a high-level magician or above." Both of them do not match in age and identity, so the mastermind behind the scenes is definitely not the city lord, but I don't know if he is a victim or not. After explaining, Ryder glanced at Lianhua, hoping that he could explain the "victim".
Lianhua was about to open her mouth to explain, but Jane suddenly figured it out, "It's because of that woman! the woman who drove Ryder away!"
Lianhua glanced at Jane approvingly and nodded, since Jane had already figured it out, there was no need for him to explain.
"Let me tell you, just now I said that it is impossible for the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion to follow the orders of others without special circumstances. Since the woman was able to command the soldiers, then there was a special circumstance, and I guess he was imprisoned somewhere, so he couldn't do anything, and the woman got his authorization. She did all this in the name of the lord of the city. Jane's speculation was logical.
"That woman is the necromancer behind it?" didn't Ryder say she's only in her 20s?" "Is there a rejuvenating spell in magic?"
"It's impossible to rejuvenate in normal magic, even if it's inherited time magic, but I don't know about the forbidden necromancy, and even if you do, you have to pay the price of response. After all, birth, old age, sickness and death are the eternal laws of this world. Jane replied.
"Yes, no one can prevent the occurrence of birth, old age, sickness and death, at most it can only be delayed. Ryder affirmed.
"It could be a master and an apprentice. Lianhua thought for a while and said.
"Well, it's a possibility. Jane nodded in agreement.
Then everyone fell into thought, and the room fell silent, except for the sound of rain hitting the windows.
"Why don't we go directly to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow?" Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Liao suddenly proposed.
"No, we can't take any risks until we find out what the enemy is doing!" Ryder decisively refused.
"But I can't figure out the situation when I stay here!" Li Ao said correctly.
"It's really not okay to stay here, we can't afford to wait. Jane chimed in.
"I'm going to find out!" Lianhua said suddenly.
"There may be a high-level necromancer in the City Lord's Mansion or above!" Ryder reminded.
"I know!" Lianhua nodded at Ryder.
"Still too dangerous! Are you sure you want to go?" asked Ryder, looking at Lianhua.
"Confirm something!"
Ryder wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while. Liao is the only one who knows Lianhua's surname, so naturally he will not object. Jane didn't have any other way to do it, so she acquiesced.
It is impossible to do such a thing as espionage during the day, and the night is a natural protective color. It's too much time to wait until tomorrow night, so let's just go for tonight. As soon as she said to go, Lianhua simply made preparations, and took advantage of the night to climb out of the door of the church.
Outside the church, Rio, Jane, and Ryder looked in the direction where Lianhua had disappeared and did not leave for a long time.
