Chapter 149: Southwest Plague

"The Holy Maiden of Orpheum seems to be very interested in you, what's the matter?" Gaia didn't want to discuss too much about that topic, and besides, Celine was still there, so if she said more, maybe the little wild cat was going to be powerful.

"Oh, that was five years ago, when I had half my life left to crawl out of the place where my teacher asked me to cultivate, and it turned out that this broken old man happened to have something to do and couldn't take care of my injuries, so a girl with the strongest healing ability and good looks came from the Orpheum Temple, and took care of me in the place where my teacher lived in seclusion for about half a year. Then my teacher never came back, and she said she was going back to the temple, so I left there and wandered around where humans lived......" Fetzer said lightly.

"You don't look like you're human......" Edith interjected.

"I'm probably not really human, am I...... Hey, it's just that I was too pure at the time, and I didn't start with this future beauty at such a good opportunity, and I'm afraid it's a little difficult to start now. Fei Ze said with a floating corner of his mouth.

"Five years ago...... You're still a little boy...... "Selene said.

"Hey, little princess, you have underestimated the development age of men, in fact, at that time I had a strong desire to overthrow that holy woman......" Fei Ze said this without any taboos.

"Aren't you going to go to her?" Gaia felt a little puzzled, the people who got the parchment scroll did not plan to stay in Simon City, since Fetzer had some friendship with the Holy Maiden of Orpheum, Gaia felt that with Fezzer's character, he would definitely have to communicate with this woman.

"There's no need, women nowadays are scheming, and it's too sad to deal with, I still prefer to be simpler, oh yes, it's best to be confused and stupid like Celine. Fetzer said.

Celine glared at the open-mouthed fellow, stopped talking to the two men, and ran to Edith, remaining silent like the extremely cold Ice Dragon Maiden.

Gaia didn't continue to ask, and it was rare to see the unfettered Fetzer showing a bit of helplessness and timidity, I'm afraid the relationship between them is not as simple as Fetzer said.

......

"The parchment scrolls have been collected, now what?" The four ancient parchment scrolls hidden in the four empires have all fallen into their hands, and at this time, the four parchment scrolls are pieced together to form a complete ancient map of the Eden continent, marking the specific locations of these many ancient ruins.

At first, it was Celine who told Gaia that the parchment scroll hid a mystery of Eden for thousands of years, and then Fetzer was also collecting the parchment scroll, which shows that this thing is indeed very important, but now, when Gaia, Fetzer and Seren put these four parchment scrolls together, they didn't notice any special use for it, at least the legendary mystery of Eden did not appear on this ancient scroll.

"You don't know how to use and how to crack it, so what are you collecting this for?" Gaia was also helpless, thinking that after collecting the four parchment scrolls, Fetzer would tell them a shocking secret, but Fetzer himself didn't know what to do after collecting it......

"I just said that collecting these can better find the ruins, and I didn't say what ...... can appear when the four of them are together," Fei Ze shrugged, and then continued, "My teacher explained that after collecting these, it doesn't matter if you burn them, or follow the markings to explore the monuments, in short, it's up to me to dispose of it." ”

"It should be stitched or otherwise treated, leave all the parchments to me, and I may be able to find a way to unlock the secret of the four parchments. Selene said.

Naturally, this kind of decipherment of ancient artifacts is done by soothsayers, and since Selene says that there is a mystery of Eden hidden in it, it must have been found in some relevant literature, and perhaps there is a way to use the four parchment scrolls in these documents.

Gaia and Fetzer could only make a more definite map, so they simply handed over all four of them to Celine for safekeeping, and when she had time, she let Celine slowly study the mysteries herself.

The Dark Canyon has always been called the most terrifying and supernatural forbidden place by the cultivators of the Eden Continent, this place that ordinary cultivators dare not set foot in at all, and those terrifying and location dark creatures will always take their lives without the cultivators noticing.

In the past, there were many adventurous parties who stepped into this narrow dark valley, but few were able to get out safely, and even if they came out alive, many adventurers became insane.

Therefore, in order to prevent those adventurers from dying in the dark canyon because of curiosity, the Simon Empire has built a post station at the entrance of the canyon and sent a team of border soldiers to guard there, preventing those adventurers from entering the dark canyon at will.

However, due to the plague, almost all of the soldiers who were originally guarding the post station in the dark canyon were infected with the disease, and soon the soldiers on this frontier line were infected. The countryside is shrouded in an invisible dark aura everywhere, this kind of turbidity is extremely harmful to ordinary people, as long as they stay for a little longer, they are likely to die directly, and for cultivators, this special black qi emitted from the dark canyon also makes them nauseous and breathless, and more and more people stay away from the territory around the dark canyon.

As the inhabitants of these dark canyons migrated, the germs on their bodies began to spread in all directions, causing the plague to spread widely.

It took more than a month for a few people to travel from Simon City to the border of the Simon Empire, and they saw too many plagues along the way, and groups of refugees walked towards the eastern part of the Simon Empire with heavy steps on the yellow earth, trying to avoid these plagues that followed closely, but they often found that when the migration team of thousands of people finally went to a place with less plague, they were all ruthlessly blocked out of the city, and could only rely on some inferior food distributed by the city to survive.

This is not the desperation of the local officials, but the order issued by the royal family, the rapid spread of this plague has a lot to do with these refugees who have migrated to the east, if they are allowed into the city casually, the plague will immediately spread to the city, and then the whole city will be affected.

From the east to the southwest, the closer you get to the Dark Canyon, the more noticeable this phenomenon becomes, and it is not uncommon to see large flocks of ghoul vultures hovering over the sick-stricken crowd, and if someone falls and has no companions willing to help them, they will soon be eaten by the jet-black, disgusting creatures.

The plague caused a vicious circle, and the cities of the southwestern border now seemed to have experienced the worst wars, with no plants, no livestock, and no city guards to maintain, and robbers were rampant in this hot and watery situation.

In the past half a year, the entire southwest region of the Simon Empire has become a hell on earth, and the people are miserable and can only pray for the mercy of the gods, but now in order to prevent the plague from spreading to the entire Simon Empire, the Orpheum Temple has no time to go deep into the plague area to treat these people, if the root cause of the plague is not cut off, I am afraid that the entire southwest region will be abandoned by the temple and the empire, and will be strictly controlled, leaving them to fend for themselves.

"They are all so pitiful......" Seeing this tragic scene during this time, Selene's eyes cried red several times, but after walking through so many cities, they still haven't found the special features of this plague, and there is no cure at all, only to use light magic to purify, but the number of magic masters in the entire Simon Empire is more than 100,000 infected, even if all these magic masters are dispatched, I am afraid that the magic power will not be able to cure them all.

"The potion prepared by the pharmacist is ineffective against the root cure of the disease, and the cultivator's special physique cannot resist this plague, and the spread speed of such a large area is so rapid...... Taken together, I'm afraid that this plague is the dark plague magic that has not appeared in the Eden continent for a long time. Fetzer came to his own conclusions.

At this time, from all aspects, it is true that only the plague dark magic can explain it, after all, if it is an ordinary disease, the cultivator should not be infected.

"What happened in the Dark Canyon caused this dark aura with an extremely strong plague to spread everywhere. Gaia was also puzzled, and immediately shook the snooze little Darkey from his shoulder, wanting to see what the little creature had to say about the great plague.

The little girl looked worried, she always slept during this time, less lively and mischievous than before, and did not quarrel with Norman, which made Gaia feel strange.

"Sleep...... Sleep ...... Sleepy ......" The little girl looked extremely unhappy, pouting cutely, not wanting Gaia to disturb her.

"Three pieces of cheese, answer a question. Gaia simply threw out the attraction.

"Hmm...... Well, ask quickly, ask quickly...... "This little girl slept except for eating, and as soon as she heard the cheese, she immediately came to her senses."

"Are these plagues dark magic, can you get rid of them, or maybe you sense something out of the ordinary. Gaia asked.

"Good...... That's a lot of questions, nine pieces...... Nine pieces of cheese. "This little girl also knows how to bargain.

"Okay, good, say it quickly. Gaia looked helpless.

"It's not dark magic, neither is Darkny...... It can't be eliminated, and there are ...... And also...... Hey, Annie sensed her mother's breath. As he was trying to sense, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked excited.

Céline's eyes immediately fell on Gaia, and she thought to herself: Could it be that Gaia still has a confidante nearby. For the title of little mother, Selene has always been a little annoyed.
