The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

The king asked tepidly. The old man's eyes swept across the room and then shook his head: "It's nothing. I'm just worried that you will be attacked by the devil. After all, some of your children have taken refuge in the devil."

"Humph,"

Hearing this, Seti lay on the bed full of resentment and responded, "That's better than your gods. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this!"

Naturally, his death energy did not appear out of thin air. When he was fighting for the throne, Sethi was supported by the Silver Moon Church. However, he did not expect that he was just a "spare tire" for the Silver Moon Church. There was another real supporter. others.

So Seti forcefully endured the attack of the Church of Dark Night, and the terrifying death energy almost caused him to die directly and become an undead creature. Fortunately, he still had legendary materials full of vitality in his body, and he survived.

After some twists and turns, Seti finally killed all his brothers and sent his sisters abroad for marriage. After assuming power, he began to create obstacles for the Silver Moon Church at every turn, constantly hunting down members of the Church of Dark Night in order to get them to hand over solutions.

The other side supported the aristocratic church and made it the official religion of the country.

It was fine in the first few years, but unfortunately as he grew older, the death energy finally broke out. As a result, his body became worse and worse year by year. It was all the fault of these gods and churches!

Looking at the roaring Seti, the old bishop could not argue and left the palace with the soldiers.

Sweeti, who was standing next to the king, immediately relaxed and asked him: "The old guy didn't see anything?"

"Definitely not, otherwise she would die here today," Sethi said coldly, "Still haven't found the half-elf?"

"No."

"Then start the previous plan. Use the barrier given by Archduke Bayer to seal off the entire Ponce, pour the toxin into the water source to make all civilians sick, and then spread the news. As long as you find and kill all the half-elves, then This will bring Ponce City back to normal.”

Seti's tone exuded endless cruelty. Sweeti glanced at him inexplicably, turned around and left, shaking her head - this king had gone completely crazy.

But it just happened to make Lord Bair's plan go smoothly. As long as he gets the souls of the civilians in this city, Lord Bair can change from being suppressed by Zariel to suppressing Zariel, and she can also return to purgatory smoothly. Become a manager.

Thinking of this, Sweeti's mood brightened again, and she looked up at the dark sky with an evil smile.

……

With the map given by the king, Sweeti quietly came to the underground river that provides water for the capital. She looked at the rushing river with sadness, as if she was feeling sorry for the citizens of Ponce, and it was a pity that they had such a king.

Instructing the devils following her to drop a few corpses on the ground, Sweeti poured down a bottle of dark purple mucus. As the mucus spread, the corpses were gradually assimilated into the same mucus, and the girl couldn't help showing a heartbroken expression.

"This is a toxin made with Lord Bayer's power. I really don't want to use it. The shelf life after use is only two days, and it can only be used in Ponce, a place close enough to Purgatory..."

She muttered to herself, and with a wave of her hand, she slapped all the mucus into the river. The mucus gradually dispersed in the flow, and finally became colorless and odorless, and rushed straight towards Ponce City.

The terrifying "Devil Plague" is slowly approaching.

Chapter 604 The Disaster Has Arrived

"Jack, go get some water and cook breakfast!"

"I know mom!"

On a sunny morning, a child who was playing in the yard took a bucket to the well shared by residents to fetch water. He immediately returned home with the bucket. Little Jack happened to be thirsty, so he scooped up the water and took a sip.

"Ok?"

He suddenly felt that the well water seemed particularly sweet today, so he couldn't help but drink a few more sips, and then carried the water into the kitchen at his mother's urging.

This scene happened in many places. The people got water early and collected the amount they needed for the day. They did not notice anything wrong with the water source. Even the mages and priests who drank the water did not notice anything wrong with it at all.

The sun shines on the water tanks placed outside, and traces of water vapor rise. Those weird magic powers are spreading throughout the city along with the water vapor.

……

Vita opened her eyes. She woke up from sleep. After getting up, she opened her dimensional bag, took out the cooking tools from the bag and arranged them. She entered the stealth state and quietly left the abandoned house.

As soon as she went out, the construct girl felt something was wrong. The magic power in the air was not as expected. It was obvious that the previous predictions were accurate, but today was different. If there was not a problem with herself, then there was a problem with the air.

Sensing something strange, Vita swept his surroundings with his hand, but he couldn't find any difference in the magic power just by looking at it.

Continuing to move forward to collect information, she silently came to the well without attracting any attention. The constructed girl put down the wooden bucket tied to the well to draw water. When the water came in, Vita, who was approaching the well water, immediately discovered the problem!

Looking at the well water in front of her, Vita silently poured it into the bucket she brought with her. After grabbing the bucket and returning to the abandoned room, she stretched out her fingers to dip some in it and tasted it. After collecting the important carriers, she quickly analyzed it.

An hour later, the constructed girl completed the analysis and confirmed that the quality of the magic power inside was definitely not something Ponce could form naturally. She also confirmed that it was magic power from the lower world. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Vita immediately came to the straw to wake up Aiya. .

"Master, something went wrong."

Vita's call made Aya open her eyes and sit up instantly. After learning the situation, she did not hesitate to cut her wrist and throw out the blood, letting it drip into the well water.

Sizzle...! ! !

The result was like the collision of concentrated sulfuric acid and water. Their blood quickly fought against the magic power in the well water. Aya caused the wound to expand, causing the life force blood to continuously flow into the bucket, until the reaction was completely completed after ten seconds.

"How's the water doing now?"

Vita took a sip and then nodded: "It has become an ordinary water source."

"Poison, can you figure out what this magic power does?"

Aya immediately understood the methods of the devils and asked Vita what the magic power was for. The construct girl quickly analyzed it and quickly found the purpose of the magic power and what happened in the past:

"The Archduke Bayer of the Devil once developed a toxin. The conditions for its activation are very harsh. It must be in an area close to purgatory to work. After being exposed to the air, its shelf life is only one day. At least the shelf life of the toxin developed more than 2000 years ago Only one day."

It was used in a certain city in an unnamed world. The result was that because it was too close to purgatory, the people in that city who absorbed this magic began to transform into low-level devils.

The transformation speed and resistance ability are not only related to the victim's resistance to the poison, but also related to the alignment. Only the existence of the chaotic good alignment can completely resist, and the caster can also transform the poisoned person back before he completely turns into a devil.

Unfortunately, it can spread through water sources, making it difficult to clean up. "

After listening to Vita's report, Aya understood the seriousness of the matter. At the same time, considering that she had blocked the connection between Ponce and Purgatory, she asked: "Will this situation still be the same as before?"

"It's different. Without the help of Purgatory, civilians who drink river water and inhale water vapor into their bodies are likely to be like saltwater fish leaving the sea, slowly going into shock and then dying."

Knowing this result, the elf girl was silent for a moment, and directed Vita to go to the Silver Moon Church to report the news. She walked towards the city gate, but she had a hunch that it was already too late, and no matter what the churches wanted to do, they would be restrained. Unable to move.

Ponce City is about to fall into a situation of irreversible danger!

As Vita walked on the street, she saw various pathological changes appearing on the bodies of civilians.

Normally, the transformation from a human to a devil is slow, or it can be carried out by connecting to purgatory. Therefore, they will not be in the same situation as these civilians and can live normally in the material plane. However, some types of devils will feel uncomfortable.

At present, these civilians who have been turned into devils are no longer adaptable to the conditions of the material plane due to the lack of the call of purgatory. If their bodies are not replenished by something in purgatory, they will gradually decline until death.

Arriving at the Silver Moon Church smoothly, Vita removed his outer disguise, took out the token given by the church and said, "I have important information to report to Silver Star."

"Miss Vita, you are alone——"

The chief priest walked out from behind and was about to say a few words when he saw the construct girl. Vita immediately interrupted her words and started to explain herself. Halfway through, the chief priest's face changed drastically.

Such a serious matter could no longer be solved by her alone. The head pastor was about to report to the bishop, but he did not expect that the old man was already standing behind her with a serious expression.

"We understand. Thank you, His Highness Lorenno, for me and the residents of Ponce City."

Bishop Silver Moon nodded to Vita, raised his scepter and struck the ground hard, and a silver moon instantly hung in the sky!

The figure of the Bishop of the Noble Church appeared in the Silver Moon Church. Vita did not care about what happened next. Just as he was about to leave the Silver Moon Church, a believer rushed in and said: "Oh no, Pastor! Suddenly I can't get out of Ponce City." Got it!"

Upon hearing the news, Vita ran straight towards the city gate, only to find Aya eating cake in a nearby restaurant without any panic.

"Master, can't you get out anymore?"

"Well, it's late."

Aya pointed to the city gate as if it was nothing else. Those who wanted to go out and those who wanted to come in kept beating the air, as if there was a thick wall blocking them.

The parents shouted their children's names, and the children cried bitterly for their parents; the businessman roared and asked the guards to send the goods out, but the guards were also in a difficult position, and he couldn't do it at all; the soldiers guarding the gate were panicked, and he had never encountered such a situation; A mage tried to break the barrier, but the dispelling magic had no effect...

"Let's go."

After eating the cake, Aya and Vita prepared to go back to the dilapidated house. She had a hunch that she would be the next person Bayer's men would deal with.

Sure enough, she had just taken a few steps when a hoarse voice appeared in the sky.

Chapter 605 Ponce’s illness

"Residents of Ponce City, you have been infected by a terrifying toxin——"

The hoarse and evil voice echoed in everyone's ears, saying with a bit of infiltrative laughter: "You will gradually grow old and die of illness. The only solution is to kill all the half-elves in this city-"

"Go ahead and kill them. Only by killing them will you have a chance to live, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

Laughter spread over the city. Some civilians looked at the sky in fear, but most of them didn't take it too seriously. After all, it seemed that nothing was wrong with them now.

Aiya pulled down her hood and continued walking towards the abandoned house with Vita. She was not going to care about these things. The most important thing now was herself. Not to mention that the half-elf was dead.

It would be better if all the people in the city died than if they all turned into devils.

Returning to the abandoned house, the elf girl lay down again, cleaned the toxins from her body, and continued to peek at the entire city.

……

how so!

The news quickly spread to everyone's ears. The princes and princesses never expected that the fight for power would turn into a battle of life and death. Feeling a hint of urgency and worry, the second prince immediately summoned all his brothers and sisters to at least Let's discuss a solution.

"Now is not the time for internal fighting. One of us must be supported by the devil, but I don't know who it is. I want to ask what that person is thinking. Is he really going to drag everyone down?!"

The second prince yelled slightly manically. A group of people did not respond. Evil and good could know what the other side was thinking, but how could Order know what Chaos was thinking? Everyone had a sullen expression and said nothing.

"Cooperate," the fifth prince said. "Don't worry about the throne if this continues. It's not even certain whether we will survive or not. The most important thing now is to go back to the palace to see the condition of the cracks. He must not be allowed to open them. The devil's plague is Leave it to the church.”

"Tell me," Gloria opened her eyes hesitantly. She seemed to have thought of something, and pointed at the palace and said, "could it be that the person being supported by the devil is..."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Their father, the king of Ponce, made a deal with the devil in order to survive. It was not that they had never thought about this possibility, but in this case, they would have to gather everyone's strength to attack the palace.

"I'll join in going to the palace." "I'll join in too. At least we have to save Ponce before talking about anything else."...

Regardless of whether there is bad blood in their hearts, no one wants Ponce to be destroyed at this time. At least they have to enter the palace before talking about anything else. After agreeing on the time, everyone quietly left the gathering point, preparing to lead their troops towards the palace when the time comes. .

As for the original mission?That kind of illusory thing is of no use now. We will wait until the crisis is over. Anyway, even if the father dies, there will still be people from the Church of Endless Light who can help them inherit the throne.

It’s not certain how many people will be left by then.

After Gloria sat back in the carriage, she sighed slightly in this private space. Suddenly she sensed something, picked up a communicator and answered it, then responded with a low eyebrow: "Yes, I understand, I will take advantage of that moment." Implementation plan."

Two days later—

"Ah ah ah! It hurts! It hurts so much!" "Why do I feel so thirsty no matter how much I drink..." "Oh——..."

The toxins in the city have disappeared, but everyone in the city has been infected with the magic power from Bayer. It is also at this time that lesions have appeared on the bodies of the weak.

Some people have weak new limbs growing on their bodies. After being drained of nutrients, they become extremely thin. Their limbs move randomly without obeying instructions, and some even strangle themselves to death.

Some people become bloated and have difficulty moving. No matter how much they eat and drink, they feel hungry and thirsty. Those who do not have enough control can only keep eating, and in the end they have no choice but to burst themselves.

Others have become decrepit...

Different symptoms appeared in different people, and all residents realized that the voice was telling lies and that Ponce was becoming a terrifying city.

"Master Priest! Please save us! Master Priest!" "Master Mage, please help us develop an antidote, Master Mage!"

The Silver Moon Church, the Noble Church, the Mage Association, etc., all the places where these spellcasters were located were surrounded by water. The people were wailing for help, and even the secret gathering place of the Dark Night Church was found.

Some people who couldn't bear it wanted to help, but the guards held their arms.

"Aren't we going to help, my lord?"

The young man who was inexperienced in the world said anxiously, and the old guy who held them asked with a little guilt: "Do you know how many people there are in Ponce City, and how many priests who know the inferior restoration technique or mages who have scrolls?" ?"

"But we can always cure it batch by batch!"

"Yes, it can be cured in batches..."

The guard nodded slightly. Almost at the same time, the mages made no move. The doors of each church opened, and a high-ranking priest was sent to stand on the edge of the barrier and said: "Believers in the God of () (), please go in. Go, you will be treated, if you can't get through, it means you don't have enough faith."

Upon hearing the news, the civilians who were kneeling on the ground seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope, and one after another they got up from the ground and rushed towards the barrier.

Bang, bang, bang, whoop, bang, bang...

Only one person among dozens of people was able to enter the church. Those who entered the church were ecstatic and knelt down to pray to the statues of God to give thanks. Those who did not enter vented their emotions and tried to stop others from entering, but were pushed away or trampled on. Underfoot.

Horrible chaos is happening, and the church can only selectively save some people. After saving these people, it will have time to save others.

……

Far away from the church, the killing of half-elves and elves is taking place.

There are also elves because the residents don't understand the difference between the two and only think that the pointed ears are elves.

It's just that most of the elves living in Ponce City are no longer among the people. Among the people, they basically have professional levels and basically have no major problems, but half-elves are in misery.

"Don't come here!"

A pair of half-elf mother and son were huddled in the corner. They also showed abnormalities on their bodies, but the people didn't care about this. They just stared at the two people with resentment. The dwarf in the front holding a pitchfork shouted:

"It's all because of you half-elves that Ponce City became like this!"
