Pillars of Ita

Chapter 1261 Blood Origin

The room was filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Daryl sat on the desk with one leg hanging naturally from the edge, swinging nonchalantly, and his claws fiddled with the giant sword on his thigh, making a slight sound.

Miss Tata set up a tea set, using a copy of Prahven's City Building Records as the tea table, picked up the teapot and brewed a cup for Nini and another for herself.

Nini took a sip of tea, then immediately frowned and spat it out. This frightened the girl who was copying at the desk next to her. Alyssa frowned and said, "Fang—Nini!"

The little guy immediately hid in Leila's arms, and poked his head out to look at Miss Nightingale in doubt. "Miss Alisa, I'm fine." Leila said quickly.

Miss Nightingale looked at the little one who was looking at her curiously and said, "Go and apologize to your sister." "No need." Tata shook her head.

Fang Nini jumped behind Tata again, hiding behind her sister, and put her little head on Miss Fairy's shoulder, staring at Alisa. Her breath tickled Tata's neck, and he couldn't help but twitching his pointed ears.

Miss Nightingale glared at the little girl fiercely.

Luo Yu was standing by the window, lifting a corner of the curtain to observe the situation on the street outside, and did not pay attention to his assistant for the time being. It was also because Tian Lan was sighing not far away, "It's going to be delayed again."

"So how did they determine that?" Alice asked the others.

Fang He checked the reagent in his hand and shook his head, "Let's talk about it after Luo Hao comes back."

Just then Luo Hao pushed the door open, followed by Box and May. "What did they say?" Alice asked immediately.

"The allies didn't say anything, but I heard some rumors from the locals." The fat man closed the door and shook his head while answering. "Rumors from the locals?" Alice asked.

"They think it's a curse, the curse of Ser Gios."

"Nonsense." Another Miss Nightingale sneered. People always come up with absurd statements about phenomena they cannot understand, but this did not match the information she had received.

She said, "If this is really the curse of Sergios, then this curse has been circulating in this area for at least hundreds of years."

"This saying has been around for a long time, but the curse has not always existed," Luo Hao shook his head. "They said that it will return with Wo-Salastir."

Fang He put down the reagent in his hand and asked: "Are there similar rumors on Silver Chain Island?"

The female pirate stood under a painting with her arms folded and shook her head in response to Fang He's question.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Luo Hao was not really concerned about the rumors. "Boss, the alliance wants to see you."

"I?"

Fang He was not surprised that the allies knew the origins of his group. Although the Seven Seas Brigade had never publicized what happened during the Gray Disaster, the truth of the "Pillar of the World" battle was mostly circulated among the top leaders of the major guilds.

But the Seven Seas Storm did not conceal his identity when he entered the Thousand Pillars Harbor. He also had another identity outside as the Dragon Alchemist. In fact, the alliance had sent people to ask them about the parliament's information before.

The other party also sent a batch of "blood anchors" as gifts. The salted shells have not been eaten yet and are piled up in the bottom cabin. Catherine has planned to throw them all away.

Luo Hao nodded, "It seems like they want something from us."

……

The meeting place was set at the 'Hall of a Thousand Anchors', which was the town hall of Perlachven. At the entrance of the town hall stood a dilapidated bronze bell, which was the symbol of the Gulf Alliance in the past.

After the collapse of the Bronze Bell Council, this bell was sent here as a trophy. Over time, it has become a reminder not to forget the lessons of the past.

After passing through the hall, the guards with feathers on their bronze helmets pushed open the door and let Fang He and his companions in.

The reception standards of the alliance were quite high, and a whole team of cavalry was sent to clear the way for them.

"Silent Guards," Alisa said quickly to Fang Plovers, "People from the Inquisition."

Fang Yu watched coldly and nodded slightly.

The Silent Tribunal is actually the Alliance's military police agency, including the cavalry that sent them here, which are also the Bronze Bell Guards and can be considered the Royal Guards. The Alliance seems to attach great importance to this meeting.

This surprised him a little. The identity of a 'Dragon Alchemist' didn't seem to be worth the allies' fuss. Could it be that the news about the Autumn Forest had leaked?

But it doesn't seem like that. The people of the Gulf seem to have no idea what is happening in the outside world, otherwise they wouldn't have sent people to ask them for information.

I heard that shipping from Silver Wind Port to here has been suspended for a long time, and the lifeline of the Gulf region is completely dependent on the routes between Lotao and the New World. There have also been price increases to varying degrees here, but overall it is much better than outside.

However, as the owner of this place, they didn't have much room to refuse, so Fang He planned to take it one step at a time. After pushing the door open, he found that another group of people had already been waiting here.

There were about six or seven people in the group, led by a woman, mostly dressed as servants and scholars, and it was obvious that they were from a certain society. Fang He had seen too many such organizations here.

But when he saw the woman's appearance clearly, he was slightly startled:

"Olivia?"

The girl turned around and didn't seem surprised to see them. She just smiled slightly.

It's not quite true to say that I saw it, because her eyes were hollow and pale, like two pieces of white crystal, her long eyelashes were slightly curved, thick and vivid, and she had long black hair with a pair of sharp corners on each side that curved forward.

But the surface of the pointed horn was shining with metallic luster, which was definitely not a symbol of dragon blood. The girl was a real human being. It was a magical device, similar to his magic gloves.

She was wearing a black gown that had been altered and cut to look like a long skirt, which accentuated her figure. There were silver patterns on the gown, which stretched out at the neckline to form the shape of a tree.

Her outfit was almost the same as it was when she left Kapka.

The girl 'looked' in this direction, then closed her eyes and smiled at him: "Ed, long time no see."

"Ah...Olivia, I forgot you were still here."

"But I haven't forgotten the time when I was in Kapka, when everyone praised you highly," Olivia folded her hands, pressed them on her lower abdomen, smiled and nodded to everyone.

"Although most people think it's hard for you to go far because you haven't been chosen, I think there might be a turning point." Her voice was still as gentle and pleasant as it was then.

"Later I heard that you left Kapka and went to Rodale. After that, there wasn't much news about you. The society wrote to me that you went to Elpahin and participated in the Continental League."

"Later, Forin told me that you became a Dragon Alchemist. Before he left the academy, I wanted him to tell me more about your work in Oshu, but unfortunately, the situation in Ravenril was urgent—"

Who is this woman? Alyssa was the first to stop and looked at the other person with some suspicion. The other person spoke in an intimate tone, as if she had known Fang He for a long time.

She frowned and looked at her captain, which made Fang He feel a little creepy.

But it was true that he knew Olivia. She was a student sent by the White Tree Society to study abroad at the Kapka Society, and their relationship was limited to that of classmates.

He was quite popular in Kapka and had no conflicts with most people, let alone enmity, but he didn't have many close friends either.

Most of the apprentice craftsmen studying there were trainees from various guilds, and he was not a summoner of the Star Gate, so they were actually on two different paths.

On the contrary, he has close relations with many indigenous people, but most of them are native to Kapka.

Even he didn't expect that after he left Kapka, Olivia actually wrote to the society to ask about his recent situation, and the society actually replied.

The reason why he wanted to learn how to reply letters might be because at that time he happened to represent Kapka in the Continental League in Elpahin and achieved good results.

But Fang He couldn't understand when Olivia started to care about him so much?

"It's normal that Ed doesn't remember me," Olivia smiled. "The facts have proved my prediction at the time. Ed has become a famous Dragon Alchemist, while I am still wasting time in the White Tree Academy just like I was in Kapka Academy."

Fang He scratched his head, not knowing how to respond for a moment. He was not good at dealing with outsiders, not to mention that Miss Nightingale's gaze behind him was like a thorn in his side.

"Why is Olivia here?"

"I came to meet with the Gulf Alliance, but encountered some emergencies on the way." Olivia saw that he wanted to change the subject, but she continued considerately, "The situation in the city is more urgent now, so as guests, we have to wait a little longer."

Fang He then realized that Olivia was a member of the White Tree Society and a colleague of Forin. During the Gray Disaster, the White Tree Society was responsible for the defense of Ravenril.

Because of the brass dragon, the war in Ravenrir ended last, and the finishing work was completed last. But it still takes time to recover after the war. Ravenrir is very close to Heimwol and the allies, so the White Tree Society should send people to ask for help from the moon elves and the people of the bay.

As he introduced his relationship with Olivia and each other's identities to everyone, Olivia shook hands with everyone one by one, especially Miss Nightingale.

"My name is Alisa," Miss Nightingale said, looking at the woman. "The intelligence officer of the team."

"My name is Olivia," the girl noticed the other party's slight hostility and said with a smile, "I'm just an ordinary scholar."

"Ordinary scholars wouldn't wear this thing." Elisa said, looking at the pointed horns on the other person's temples.

"It's just a magic device," Olivia smiled and replied nonchalantly, "It's not much different from the magic gloves made by craftsmen. As you can see, my hands and eyes are not very flexible."

"Can you see my gaze?" Miss Nightingale was a little surprised.

"That's one of its functions," Olivia replied calmly.

"Miss Olivia has some... problems with her eyes..." Fang He helped her explain, "The magic device was designed for her by a master craftsman from the White Tree Society. Miss Olivia's main focus is large-scale magical equipment. She is a... maze architect..."

Maze Architects are also known as Fortress Designers. They are best at making large-scale barriers and shield generating devices. Craftsmen of this type are quite rare among the indigenous people, let alone the Chosen Ones.

But this is the traditional strength of the White Tree Society. The top maze architects in all of Etaria are in the White Tree Society, not to mention that they also have a unique large teleportation tower.

In fact, Forin also showed a strong talent for barrier devices at that time. Olivia was his junior, but she was more specialized. She had a deep understanding of defense equipment, fortress turrets, etc.

However, these areas are almost only used by large guilds, and large guilds will train their own fortress designers. Moreover, she heard that the Twelve-Color Iris had extended an olive branch to her, but she did not accept it.

"I'm just fascinated by them," Olivia replied, "but I don't really want to design those war weapons, let alone use them in war."

Miss Nightingale shook her head and did not believe the other party's words. Is it possible for someone who is fascinated by war weapons to say that he does not want to use them in war?

While everyone was talking, the allies finally arrived. In fact, it hadn't been long since Fang He and his group arrived here. Olivia stopped and looked at him with some surprise.

"It seems that the allies value Ed very much." Olivia said meaningfully.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Fang He replied.

Olivia didn't comment and just smiled faintly.

In fact, they arrived at this place the night before. The alliance told them that they would meet them the next day, but they had been waiting here for half a day since the morning.

The White Tree Society has considerable influence in Giant Tree Hill, but their delegation is not very important, and the leader is just a visiting scholar like her.

In addition, Qianzhu Port did encounter some troubles. When they entered the city, they heard about the "curse" spreading in the city. Similar situations have actually occurred several times in the Gulf region in the past.

Besides, their affairs were not really urgent, so she did not mind the attitude of her allies. Moreover, this time they were the ones who needed help.

But after the arrival of the Seven Seas Brigade, only a short while later, the allies arrived hurriedly, indicating that the other side had actually been prepared for this moment.

She certainly wouldn't think that the allies' attention was directed at her, so there was only one possibility left.

The alliance delegation did not favor one over the other, but said to both sides, "Mr. Ed, Miss Olivia, sorry for the wait."

The other party continued, "Although in theory we should receive you two separately out of courtesy, the current situation obviously does not allow it. I hope you will forgive me."

"… In addition, what you two are asking for is actually the same thing. Therefore, for the sake of time, please allow us to discuss this topic under the same framework."

"Same thing?"

Fang Yu was stunned and couldn't help but ask back.

To be honest, he still didn't quite understand the real intention of the Gulf Alliance in summoning them. If it was related to the purpose of the Seven Seas Brigade, then it was about the Certificate of Overlord?

Olivia represents the White Tree Society, and is this also why the White Tree Society came here?

But the representative of the alliance looked at him and asked, "Mr. Ed, have you heard of the Fountain of Youth?"

The Fountain of Youth, also known as the Fountain of Life and the Fountain of Eternal Life, has countless legends about it. One of them is that the first appearance of the World Tree is the Fountain of Youth.

But the real fountain of youth probably does not exist. There are legends about the fountain of youth in many places, but the scattered legends do not point to a common thing.

In the Scepter Coast, the Fountain of Youth refers to the sacred spring in the forest, in Roshar, the Water of Life refers to the first bloom of the World Tree, and in Oshur, the Fountain of Life refers to a sacred spring that only exists in the Holy Mountain of Light.

The alliance representative looked at his expression and was not too surprised. He said, "Mr. Ed, we invited you here because we hope you can take on this commission and find the Fountain of Youth."

"what?"

Before Fang He opened his mouth, Ian behind him couldn't help but lose his voice. Luo Hao glared at this guy unhappily. Because they were going to start the Seven Seas Storm, the Second Regiment had been moving with the First Regiment.

This time I brought him, Lark and Marigold here, intending to let Forest Tribute show them the world, but who knew that this guy would be the first to make a fool of himself.

Ian obviously realized his mistake and quickly shut his mouth. But Fang He didn't mind it much, because he often played this role in the past.

"In the Gulf, the legend of the Holy Spring of Eternal Youth is real, not just a bedtime story," the representative of the alliance continued, "Whenever the 'curse' appears in the Gulf, we will send people to retrieve the spring water, because only the spring water can remove the 'curse'."

"Wait a minute," Alisa said, "So the plague spreading across Perlachven right now is really a 'curse'?"

The curse of Ser Gios - she didn't expect to get official confirmation from the Alliance, but the Alliance representative was obviously unwilling to mention the true source of the curse and only nodded slightly. "We don't actually know if it is a 'curse', but it is definitely not a disease or plague that can be eliminated by ordinary means. Even the priest of Lady Libra is powerless to do anything about it."

"That kind of 'curse' comes violently, but it won't spread on a large scale among the people. But it's like a curse that takes lives, and it won't go away," the alliance representative continued. "And as time goes by, it will spread more and more, until the entire Gulf region is dragged into the abyss."

"We have experienced this before," the man said with a serious expression on his face. "People are often overwhelmed by panic before the curse itself. So before order can be restored, we need someone to bring back the Fountain of Youth."

"So that 'Fountain of Youth' can really cure the 'curse'?" Fang He still found it a little unbelievable and couldn't help asking.

The speaker nodded. "The most recent one was forty years ago, when the 'curse' spread to the southern part of the Gulf. A group of adventurers brought back the Fountain of Youth from the Empty Sea, preventing the situation from getting worse."

"But why us?" Fang He asked again. If the Fountain of Youth really existed, there was no need for the Gulf Alliance to entrust an outsider.

They also have their own fleet and are more familiar with the area. Why bother those of us who are not at the center of the vortex?

"Regarding this question," the alliance representative looked at Olivia, "let's let the White Tree Society answer it for us, Ms. Olivia, is that ok?"

Olivia was slightly startled, but still nodded. "The Fountain of Youth can't really give people eternal life, although there are stories about the Holy Fountain of Life everywhere, including in the Gulf."

"It's just that after people discovered that the spring water could remove the curse, they used the legend of the Fountain of Youth to describe it. This is the origin of this rumor."

She paused for a moment before saying, "We actually came here for the Fountain of Youth. It has the magical power to remove the curse and can help Ravenriel recover faster from the shadow of the Gray Plague. When we heard that the 'curse' appeared again, we realized that the Fountain of Youth might also appear in the world again."

"Appearing again?"

"Yes," Olivia nodded. "The Fountain of Youth is actually the same as the legend of the Overlord's Proof. Its whereabouts are unknown. Whenever Vor-Salastir returns and the 'Curse' appears again, the spring will appear on an island in the south of the Candlelight Sea."

"In other words, this 'curse' is not the first time it has appeared in Qianzhu Port?"

"Yes, as usual, the 'curse' actually began to spread in the south of the Gulf a long time ago," the representative of the alliance replied, "but we didn't expect it to reach Perlachven so quickly this time."

Olivia also continued, "To find the Fountain of Youth, we must go deep into the turbulent area south of the Candlelight Sea. Ed, you should know what that is - the Continental Bridge Sea. Only experienced adventurers are qualified to set foot in it."

"We could have asked for support from the Linoril Council," the ally said, "but right now, Silverwind Harbor is cut off from the Gulf region, and we can't wait until the Council has dealt with its own affairs before sending people here to solve the problem."

"So when you heard we were here," Alisa said grumpily, "you set your sights on us?"

She finally understood why the alliance repeatedly prevented the Seven Seas Storm from leaving the port. At first she thought it was because of the plague that closed the port, but she didn't expect that the other party had planned it all along.

"I'm sorry," the ally hastened to apologize, "but Mr. Carandil recommended Mr. Ed to us, saying that he is the only person who can possibly go deep into the Turbulent Flow Area. Moreover, he is the Dragon Alchemist, and we have heard of him a long time ago."

"There is another thing," Olivia suddenly said, "The Fountain of Youth has a deep connection with Vor-Salastir. The Alliance must know that you are looking for the Evidence of Overlord, so they came to you."

Vor-Salastir is the ancient name of the mysterious floating port, which dates back to the days of the Númerin elves.

Fang He originally wanted to ask what the connection was between the Fountain of Youth and the Certificate of Overlord, but before he could ask the question, he suddenly realized something.

The so-called curse actually refers to the curse of Ser Gios.

He suddenly understood the connection. The legendary great adventurer eventually disappeared in the storm on the way to Vor-Salastir.

But now the curse he left behind can be lifted by a mysterious spring, which mysteriously appeared with the advent of Vor-Salastir.

It would be strange to say there is no connection between the two.

He couldn't help but look at his allies and asked, "Don't you care about the Overlord's Certificate?"

The representative of the alliance shook his head. "Mr. Ed should know how much we have invested in the past few hundred years to find the legendary floating port."

"But apart from wasting countless manpower and resources, we did not get any return. Over time, the story of Vor-Salastir became just a legend in the House of Representatives."

"Now we no longer count on those illusory things. In comparison, the Fountain of Youth is more realistic. Because it can at least solve our current problems."

Fang He pondered for a moment. The other party's words almost told them clearly that finding Wo-Salastir was a delusion.

But he looked at Catherine beside him. The pirate lady was obviously dismissive of this. Her father had once personally visited the legendary port, so it must exist.

But Fang He was a little confused - didn’t the alliance have its own fleet? Where did the Salt Bone Fleet go?

He asked the other party about this issue, but the allies hesitated and were obviously reluctant to mention this topic. They only told them that the fleet encountered some minor troubles in the north.

At this time, the female pirate Catherine poked him with her finger from behind and mouthed a hint to him:

"Blood Shark Pirates——"

It turned out to be the case.

Fang He suddenly realized that there was a conflict between the Gulf Alliance and the pirates. However, if the Salt Bone Fleet encountered trouble in the north, this would make sense.

But do the Blood Shark Pirates, who have lost their pirate king, really have the cohesion to compete with a regular fleet?

Before he could weigh the pros and cons, Alyssa at the side took the initiative to speak: "But we cannot guarantee that we can bring back the spring water."

"It doesn't matter," the alliance representative immediately replied, "This is just a commission, but we believe Mr. Ed will succeed."

They were not worried that the Seven Seas Traveling Group would embezzle the spring water.

Although the eternal fountain water is magical, its only effect is to remove the curse. The only problem now is:

That is whether it is possible to find the island where the spring is located in the turbulent waters.

Fang He also figured out the crux of the problem and nodded slightly.

Seeing Fang He agreed, the alliance spoke again: "In addition, Mr. Ed, there is another matter here that is related to the Empire."

"empire?"

"Someone from the Empire came to see us not long ago, hoping to reach some kind of deal with the Gulf Alliance, but the Empire had ties with the pirates in the north, so we rejected them outright."

"It's just that the words of the Oshu people seem to be targeting you. We don't know what their real plan is. I hope Mr. Ed will be more vigilant about this--"

Fang He was stunned for a moment before realizing that they were talking about the Oshu people.

After the failure of the guild alliance, several dragon knights sent by the Empire were ordered to leave Giant Tree Hill within a certain period of time, but this was just a euphemism, and in fact it meant expulsion.

But I didn't expect them to come to the Gulf region again to stir up trouble. They are really lingering.

He had not expected that the Empire would form an alliance with the pirates. He had not taken the threat of the Blood Shark Pirates too seriously, but now the Oshus had intervened...

That forced him to take it seriously.

Fang He couldn't help but look to the side. Catherine was also frowning. She obviously didn't want to see her old rival with a behemoth like the Oshur Empire standing behind him.

When leaving the Hall of Thousand Anchors, Fang He asked Alyssa about her opinion on this matter, but Miss Nightingale just shook her head slightly:

"The alliance is just waiting for a price. If they really have such good intentions, they should have warned us from the beginning instead of leaving us in Qianzhu Port."

"There's nothing wrong with that. They have their own interests," Luo Hao said.

The fat man knew the history of the bay very well. "The alliance and the pirates have a long-standing feud, and the Saltbone Fleet has an even deeper feud with the Silver Chain Island and the Blood Shark Pirates. It's unlikely that they will easily side with the Empire."

Catherine snorted softly. She had actually fought against the Salt Bone Fleet before. The allies had looked at her more than once and obviously recognized her.

Fortunately, she and her pirates seldom come to this sea area often, so their hatred with the other side is not too deep.

Fang He also weighed the pros and cons before agreeing to the alliance request.

In fact, the search for Wo-Salastar was purely out of a promise to Catherine. As for whether the port actually exists, it is not crucial.

It would be great if we could find it, as it would solve the military's commission at the same time, and maybe even give the Seven Seas Traveler an additional home port.

But even if it doesn't exist, the loss of a port that has been in disrepair for more than 300 years doesn't seem to be a big problem.

But in any case, being trapped in Perlachven is not a solution. They have to go to the Turbulent Basin eventually. If the Fountain of Youth is really there, it would be convenient for them to go there.

Besides, he was also interested in the magical spring water.

In addition, since they accepted the alliance's commission, the possibility of conflicts with the alliance in the future was greatly reduced, and the "evil curse" of the Seven Seas Brigade that would inevitably conflict with local forces was finally stopped.

"But what about that woman?" Elisa asked, "Are you really going to agree to her request?"

"Olivia?" Fang He was stunned. Olivia had found him before, hoping to go with them to find the fountain of youth together.

He had no intention of refusing this request. The White Tree Society's delegation did not have a sailing ship for ocean voyages, and the Seven Seas Storm could accommodate six or seven people.

What's more important is that it was only Catherine's ship. If it was the Seven Seas Traveler, he would probably have to think twice, but there were no secrets on the Seven Seas Storm.

"The White Tree Society's goal is also to obtain that spring water," Fang He replied, "This is not a big deal. Olivia did know me in the past."

He looked back and said, “Alyssa, do you think there’s something wrong with Olivia?”

"Hmph, Olivia," Miss Nightingale snorted, "That woman is much more dangerous than Miss Sylvie. You'd better be careful, she might kill you without leaving any bones."

Fang He thought about it carefully and didn't think that his ship officer lady was that dangerous. She had a gentle and tolerant personality. Where could he find a girl like her?

However, he instinctively felt that this topic was somewhat dangerous, so he subconsciously changed the subject and asked, "Alisa, do you really think that is a 'curse'?"

"The Curse of Ser Gios?"

Elisa shook her head. She still thought it was nonsense. No curse could last for hundreds of years and cover such a wide range.

At least not in Ataria.

"So there's another reason?"

"Actually, I have made some discoveries, Mr. Ed," May suddenly said, "I have used the priest's magic to examine the patients' blood samples."

"There is something special in the patient's blood, like a trace of parasites."

"parasitic?"

Fang Plover was startled.

The starlight in the blood was so dim that it was almost undetectable. Miss Knight had to use a special method to preserve it.

"Yes," May replied, "Due to the existence of starlight and resurrection mechanisms, the parasites in Ataria have a very special ecology."

Fang He naturally understood this. He himself was majoring in the ecology of the sky and the sea. Almost all of the rare parasites in the natural world of Ataria were related to starlight.

This made him think of the shadow man.

Shadow people are actually a parasitic form, so they will directly annihilate starlight.

In a sense, they are also products of starlight, but they come from a world that has already devoured all the starlight.

But this is not quite the same. What May said is more like blood parasitism, a parasite unique to Ataria, and its cause is almost always related to magic.

To be precise, it is related to the creation of magic.

May sensed a strong scent of residual magic from the remaining blood sample, as if someone had controlled the original host through some kind of magical creature and driven it crazy.

This tactic is not uncommon.

Snowfa's sorcerers would use a kind of 'source blood' to enter a person's body, stripping them of control over their muscles and skin, thereby completely controlling them.

They call the puppets produced by that method 'Flayers'.

Cultists also cultivate magical parasites. Dragon worshipers once released a large amount of polluted water in Lind, causing a plague of the living dead in that area.

Fang He had actually considered this possibility, but the methods he used were somewhat different from those in the cases of Perlachven.

Because the primary task of magical parasites is reproduction, they will rapidly multiply in the host's body, leaving behind eggs and multiplying and growing.

But the blood samples from those patients were too clean.

It was as if before they died, the parasites had completed their mission and extracted themselves, leaving only contaminated blood samples and rare traces.

This is a very rare thing.

"Miss May," Fang He couldn't help asking, "what do you think?"

Miss Knight nodded slightly, "This reminds me of a spell that originated from Lothal."

"Blood spell," Alessa's voice suddenly rang out in Fang He's heart, like a rumbling echo between the pillars of stars - since the battle of the Gray Scourge, the Dragon Queen finally woke up again.

……
