Chapter Ninety-Six: A New Wave
"Queenie, why did you come down again so quickly? I thought I wouldn't see you again until I got back. ”
Outside the Nightless City, Jia Yi saw Queenie coming from afar, she had only been away from the underground for a few months, and with the time spent on the way back and forth, she didn't stay long back in Moshacher at all.
Not long after Owo left Jiayi's shop, Jiayi received electromagnetic communication, and he was still wondering at the time, electromagnetic waves could not pass through the thick stratum at all, and there was no electromagnetic communication in the underground world, so who would be looking for him. I didn't expect it to be Queenie going and coming back.
The underground world can be regarded as a novelty, but it is not very beautiful, and it is not always fun to travel.
Queenie and Jia Yi hugged each other and said, "This time, it was His Excellency Isaac who asked me to bring you a message. ”
Jia Yi's heart tightened slightly, looking at Queenie's solemn appearance, it didn't look like a good thing.
"This time the situation is not very good, there are also worshippers of the Great Demon God on the ground, and the situation is quite serious. I don't know where these worshippers of the demon gods used to hide, but now it seems that all of a sudden they all appeared. ”
Queenie's face was not very good, and she felt that the change was a little too fast, and it seemed that the situation began to deteriorate overnight.
Kaichi took Queenie to a secluded place and said, "There must have been many worshippers of demon gods in the past, and there were even priests and evil gods, but what happened this time?
Queenie was silent for a while, and said, "In the past, the worshippers of those evil gods had never been openly active, but this time it is a little different, and the believers of the Great Demon God have even established a base under the Hengduan Mountain Range. You know what? They corrupted a small country and turned them all into believers in the Great Demon God, and if it weren't for the accident, no one would even be able to find out. ”
"A whole small country, in Beisenzhou?" Jia Yi was a little shocked, and when he saw Queenie nodding in acknowledgement, his heart was even more shocked.
He believed that even if all the members of such a small country were believers in the Great Demon God, they would not be able to stop the council, and it was only a matter of time before it was cleared. However, Beisen Continent is the backyard of the Parliament, and there is a small country where the entire corrupted Parliament has not received a single message, which proves that the Parliament's control over Beisen Continent is not at all as strong as imagined.
This can't help but make people think, this is the one that has been discovered, so is there anything that has not been discovered? It doesn't even need to be as many as a whole country, a province, a city?
"The Council is recently mandating all mage guilds to install telegraph systems and secret copper crystal communication alerts, requiring weekly briefings to be sent to the association's headquarters. There are even councils that have plans to extend broadcasting to every guild, or even every mage tower, to all councils and people within the confines of the mage tower. ”
The telegraph is now more prevalent among the mage community, and there is no one in this world who has a more urgent need for quick communication than mages. But it's never been the case that the association's local chapters have been asked to send weekly newsletters upwards. This also has a lot to do with the fact that the cost of using the previous rapid communication system was too high, and now it is much more convenient with the telegraph.
And after the broadcast, it is estimated that it will not be long before the telephone will appear, and under the improvement of Yancy and Fresenden, the electromagnetic communication technology is only too short, and there is already a prototype of the telephone.
After the erosion of its own territory by the Demon Domain, the council inevitably strengthened its control over its own territory. While the weekly report still doesn't prevent accidents, at least the council will know about the incident, unlike before, when local chapters didn't communicate with the Mage Guild headquarters for months or even years, except for the purchase of magazines.
"It's good that the council has finally come out to take care of things. Is there any good news about that?"
"No, if there's good news, is it worth my visit?" Queenie sighed helplessly, "I didn't stay two days before I came back again." ”
Jia Yi smiled apologetically: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"Well, the main reason for coming here this time is that Your Excellency Isaac can't let go, so let me come over to accompany you, and at the same time remind you to be careful. Since the underground world already has evil qi affecting the demonic beasts, it is impossible to have no believers of the Great Demon God, you have to be careful that they are eyeing you. What these cultists love most is to use the mage's curiosity to lure them into a trap, and you have to be careful if someone says something inexplicable to you. ”
Queenie and Jia Yi have always communicated through the copper crystal, the copper crystal is not interfered with by the formation, and the security is more guaranteed, at least the information that the copper crystal communication can transmit is limited, so she will come to run in person.
The two chatted a few more words, and Kaichi introduced his experience here, took Queenie back to the shop, and closed the door of the shop.
He took out the map that Isya handed to him and said, "This is the map of the changes of the nearby Warcraft that I collected, recording the situation of adventurers in the city encountering Warcraft, you can see the location of their encounter with Warcraft, the location has hardly changed much. Even if Warcraft has territory, it's a bit weird, and powerful Warcraft appear in these locations every year. ”
Kaichi pointed his finger at several blackened dots on the map one by one, signaling to Queenie.
Queenie looked at the black dots, between the black dots, Jia Yi drew a few circles, she asked, "What are these circles?
"This is the node of my calculation, these places where you often encounter magical beasts have been explored by many adventurers, and they all think that there is some treasure that attracts these magical beasts, but nothing has been found. But if it is the Demon Domain that we imagine is influencing the transformation of these Demon Beasts, the locations of these circles are the most suspicious. ”
Jia Yi stretched out his hand and drew on the map, surrounding a few nodes: "If my calculation is correct, there must be something affecting the Demon Beast in these nodes, and there may even be Demon God believers." ”
The scope of the underworld mutation is too wide, and the believers of these demon gods may not be here. The circles marked by Jiayi do not mean that there will be nodes, but only that they may exist. But if he does find a node, he can extrapolate the model based on the existing nodes and know if there are other nodes around.
Even when you arrive at a new place, you can analyze whether there are nodes around you through the distribution and movement of the surrounding demonic beasts.
"I hope you're right. You said you found uranium in a silt swamp far away?"
Just now Jia Yi and Queenie mentioned their recent situation, and the uranium mine naturally did not leak.
"Why did you come to find this, could it be that you also know that radiation therapy is popular in Moshacher right now?"
"What kind of radiation therapy?" Jia Yi was a little puzzled, he was looking for uranium ore to find nuclear raw materials, not to cure diseases.
Is it possible that we have now discovered how to use radiation to treat it? Could it be a treatment for cancer?
He couldn't believe that although a mage had discovered a tumor decades ago, the study of tumors was not in-depth. Most of the time, tumors are an adjunct to necromancy, especially techniques such as suturing corpses, and there are often abnormally proliferating tumors.
It's just that for suturing corpses, tumors are not a bad thing.
"You don't know? I thought you had heard someone say that. "Although the underground world is closed, it can't seal Jiayi, which makes Queenie have an illusion," the teacher discovered a new element, named radium, which is more radioactive, hundreds of times more than uranium, and now people believe that radium can enhance human vitality, and many products containing radium have been developed, and sales are very good. It is believed that radioactive elements can enhance vitality and cure diseases. ”
Jia opened his mouth and was speechless for a while, the goods containing radioactive elements?
"How... How can you think that?" he felt ridiculous, "This, we found uranium at that time because of a curse, how can we purify it and think that it is not harmful?"
Queenie is actually inexplicable, it seems that all of a sudden products containing radiation began to become popular, forming a trend, everyone began to buy, and then there were more and more corresponding products, she had not been back to Mochacher for a long time, and she did not know much about the origin of this trend.
