Magic Sword

01 is not a poisonous poison

The magic sword city has been in a mess these days.

After the initial internal cleaning, the news of the assassination of the emperor soon spread. Such news is indeed not a good thing for ordinary people in Magic Sword City.

Although I don't think it's a good thing, I don't feel so unforgivable. Because the owner of this place has actually changed twice in just one year, and since the second change, Lord Xius has rarely come to the city. After all, people's hearts are hot and cold.

I only saw a large group of soldiers roaring hurriedly, and the crowd avoided it, speculating about what was the reason. Is it because of the assassination of the emperor or because of new news on the front line?

The leader of the large group of soldiers looks very strange, because the leader is an elf. He is also the only elf in the Magic Sword City, whose name is Gan Archer. After coming to the Magic Sword City, Gan has been living a life of fighting and killing but quite leisurely. Because the only role of archers in this world war is to assassinate someone. Gan is an elf. They are all very casual creatures, so Chiyo will not really send him any assassination tasks. After all, he still has his own position.

But when he was called back this time, the other party was very eager and didn't know what was going on.

The four knights of the Order opened the way in front and rushed all the way to the castle of the Magic Sword City without hindrance. Gan saw unexpected and unreasonable things.

The emperor named Seus and another person who looks like a Valkyrie are lying on the sickbed.

"Acher, you're finally here."

The person who called him is his direct boss, this little girl named Uesugi Qianxin. Of course, I have heard someone call her Hu Chiyo before. She is not big and young, but she basically accounts for all the big and small things here. That's probably the case. At this time, the girl's face was pale and her eyes were swollen and full of blood. It seemed that she hadn't rested for a long time. The other girl beside her was also pale and looked at herself blankly. Knowing that the other party was probably also a relatively high-ranking figure, Gan nodded slightly to her and turned to the topic.

"Your Excellency, what's the matter?"

Gan asked bluntly.

"Look at this."

Hu Chiyo waved his hand, and a maid came over with something that looked like an animal. The reason why it looks like it is that the animal has been killed all over its body. Maybe it used to be a rabbit or a mole, but now it can only distinguish the appearance of the skeleton.

"This is!"

A very horrible scene, the elf was first surprised, and then thought of several possibilities and couldn't help frowning.

"Isn't it?" It seems that Hu Chiyo is not sure, but just eager to ask back.

Making a slightly restless gesture, Gan reached out and touched the mummified corpse of the small animal, folded the stiff muscles, and carefully observed the broken part of the bone: "It should be, this is a symptom of Grey Roland."

"Grey Roland?" Lucia showed an inexplicable expression on the term.

Although Lucia asked about Hu Chiyo, the elf was obviously clearer, so Gan said directly: "A kind of poison, no, to be precise, a kind of bacteria. It is a very terrible disease circulating here. But because the characteristics of Grey Roland are very similar to poison, it has happened that someone maliciously poisoned Grey Roland before. Later, Grey Roland became one of our taboos and declared that it would never be passed on.

"Elf clan?"

"Hmm." Feeling the thorny of the matter, Gan looked at the two people lying in ** at this moment: "Grey Roland is not actually a toxin, but a fungus. The reason is that after the thousand-year war, the elves moved to the plateau. Because except for the four seasons near Tiansheng Lake, which has been protected by the goddess of nature, other places are not suitable for ordinary plants to grow. Later, we found a fungus like orchid, which allows plants to quickly store nutrients and water to the roots and let plants die. After the season warms up, it will develop again and grow more vigorously. This was supposed to be a good thing. However, it was later found that this tiny parasite is also effective for animals. If animals are absorbed, they will become mummified, so this fungus is used as a toxin in the human world. And it was notable as Grey Roland.

Of course, the two people who are listening to him now naturally don't care what this thing comes from.

"Is there any way to detoxify it?"

"No." Gan shook his head very sorryly: "Grey Roland is a fungus, not an element. There is nothing that can neutralify. People who swallow Grey Roland are like they are sick, and any disease is cured by stimulating the recovery ability of the human body. Grey Roland is parasitic in water and will destroy itself when it encounters light and high temperature. However, if the human body wants to kill Grey Roland by boiling blood, it will be killed before that. That is to say, even if the light warlocks of the church continue to purify, it is impossible to kill the gray Roland parasitized in the human body, just like a terminal disease.

"So there's nothing we can do?" Lucia's voice sounded a little desperate and hoarse.

However, Gan did not make an assertion immediately, but looked at the two ** unconscious people: "Can you show me their condition?"

"Of course."

Hu Chiyo got out of the way, and Gan quickly walked to the middle of the two beds. He lifted the quilt on Sius's body and found that there was nothing strange about him from the outside, but his body did not fluctuate at all as if he were dead. Then he looked at Kuran on the other side, and there was obvious gray on his fingers and toes under the quilt. After reading it, he put his hands on the foreheads of the two people, and the palms of his hands glowed blue.

After the light disappeared, Gan turned around and suddenly asked:

"How long have they been poisoned?"

"It's been more than a day."

Hearing Lucia's quick answer, Gan pondered for a moment and shook her head confusedly: "After ordinary people are hit by Grey Roland, they will become a mummified corpse in at most an hour. The woman's situation is probably because she is a Valkyrie. Her body is very resilient and her body contains a lot of light elements, so Roland was killed a lot after entering the body, but the situation still deteriorated. Grey Roland's life is five months. After five months, it will return all the nutrients to the host and then die. If she can survive for five months, she should get better.

Speaking of this, Gan paused slightly: "... As for His Majesty Theus, I don't know exactly what's going on in his body. It seems that plants are automatically faked to death after being parasitized by gray Roland. I really don't know that human beings also have this ability. And it's strange that he didn't fake death because he absorbed Grey Roland, but entered the state of fake death by himself because he resisted the erosion of Grey Roland.

This statement made the two girls conside at each other.

"That is to say, Sus is not poisoned at all?"

"No. His body is completely still now, and even the blood does not flow, but the breath of life has not decreased at all... But not only that, or should not be said to be a fake death. As for my personal feeling, it feels like the time of the body has stopped.

Time stopped... Lucia's face was full of confusion, and Hu Chiyo didn't quite understand, but she seemed to have a clue.

Suddenly, the military god girl pulled out a dagger from her boots and stabbed the back of Xius' hand in everyone's stunned eyes. Then something happened that stunned everyone: Xiusi's hand was not hurt at all, and the dagger broke directly without causing any harm.

"...It's really time to stop..."

Except for those servants who don't know anything, people present with a little magic knowledge are a little stunned.

The magic world has discussed the so-called strongest defense for a long time. Materially, any metal can be destroyed, only indestructible and unbreakable. After that, the space system gave the strongest defense: reflect all the vectors that have been attacked. It seems that nothing can be killed, but in practical effect, after the effect of absolute penetration or absolute killing collides with it, it will become the offset of the simple magic maintenance of absolute killing and vector reflection. As a result, the reflection cannot be killed.

And in the end, the magicians discovered the possibility of the existence of the time system: in terms of ordinary physical sensation, human time should be the same. But in fact, everyone's objective feelings about time are different. Time flies after concentrating, and the days when you are bored and waiting are like years. And the relationship between this and the strongest defense is that it takes time to produce the effect of everything, whether it is an ordinary assassination or a huge technique, but if a person can stop his time completely, then he will forever turn it into an immutable thing. Because the body's time does not flow, nothing can change it, and destruction itself is a change.

Of course, this is just the imagination of the magician's group of lunatics. After all, there is absolutely no eternal thing in the world?

But what if there is?

Gan unbelievedly pulled out the dagger from Hu Chiyo's hand and stabbed it again, and the result was exactly the same.

The eternal things that completely ignore the changes around you, even if the whole world disappear will still exist completely unchanged. This power has completely surpassed the secular world and has become that people can't even look up.................................
