Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 75: Thrilling (First Update)
"Irene! My Irene! My poor granddaughter." The old woman lay on the bed and tried hard to get up. Although she could not move or see, she still tried to reach out her trembling hands in the direction of her granddaughter.

"Old man, if you are sick, just lie down."

Richard, wearing a wet cloth mask, held the old lady's hand, gently straightened her up, and said to her seriously:
"Don't get too excited. Otherwise it will easily trigger a reaction from the virus in your body."

"Virus! Is it a poison that causes disease?! Has a poison that causes disease entered my body?"

Irene's grandmother heard a very scary word in a daze. Even though it was the first time she heard the word, she could still understand its meaning.

"That's about it. Using the word virus isn't quite accurate. The most accurate term is the undead pathogenic poisonous elemental body, or the undead virus.

You can simply understand it as a small bug that will cause your body to gradually transform into an undead.

These bugs are so small that you can't even see them with your naked eye, and every time you breathe, they enter your body with your breath."

"Hmm! Ha!" The old lady on the bed was so frightened that she held her breath and almost couldn't breathe.

Richard laughed and said, "It's no use holding your breath. You have hair and pores on your body, and the undead virus will still get into your body. Besides, it's been so long, the undead virus has already filled your body.

"Oh, then, what should we do?" The old lady was extremely panicked.

"It's OK. Don't be nervous. The Undead Virus is actually very difficult to activate. All three conditions are necessary.

The concentration of the undead virus in the body, the drastic fluctuations in emotions, and the special physique that matches the environment.

Just because the concentration of the undead virus in your body reaches the standard will not cause you to mutate.

Even if your physique matches the environment, there is no risk of mutation as long as you don't get emotionally agitated.

Don't move, I'll check the virus concentration in your body."

Richard walked up to the old man and reached out to lift up his shirt from his belly.

Irene's grandmother: ???

"You, young man, what are you doing to me, a blind old woman in her seventies who has difficulty walking?"

Irene's grandmother was so shocked that she forgot to be afraid for a moment.

"Don't move. I'm checking your physical condition and mutation conditions. If you don't want to die, stay calm." Richard found a dark mark on Irene's grandmother's shriveled belly at a glance.

He put down Irene's grandmother's clothes and said:
"Yes. I found it. The concentration of the undead virus in your body is indeed full, but the mutation condition is that more than half of your body is submerged in the quagmire.

This is considered a very difficult mutation condition. If it is not intentional, mutation is theoretically impossible.

Congratulations, you are safe for now. You can get excited if you want, but don't get so excited that you have a heart attack. It's not a big problem."

Grandmother Irene: ...

Hearing Richard's calm voice, Irene's grandmother was no longer excited.

She thought for a moment and asked doubtfully:
"What about my granddaughter? Why did she mutate? She was just sleeping."

Richard tied Irene's hands and feet with an iron chain he borrowed from Irene's home, and then tore open a piece of burnt black skin on Irene's stomach, revealing the bloody crimson beneath the darkness.

"Tsk tsk tsk... What a sin!" Looking at the mark on Irene's abdomen, Richard shook his head and said to Irene's grandmother:

“Your granddaughter must have had a nightmare. She was so emotional during the nightmare that the virus in her body became activated.

Then, an unidentified guy set a fire at the cemetery. The flames caused the temperature to rise and the fire element in the village exceeded the threshold.

The conditions for your granddaughter's mutation happen to be an environment with a large number of fire elements.

All three conditions were met, which led to your granddaughter's transformation into a [Flame Mummy]. "

"Setting the woods on fire! Villain! Born! Who on earth made my granddaughter become like this?" Irene's grandmother was very excited.

Richard tilted his head and continued without wavering:

“Well, don’t worry, your granddaughter’s mutation is not permanent.

Although it seems pitiful that your granddaughter has become an undead, from the perspective of pure combat power, the fire mummy is a powerful creature with two-ring combat power, while your granddaughter is a weakling with zero rings.

If the undead virus could so easily allow a zero-ring creature to possess the combat power of a second-ring, then this thing would be insane.

Your granddaughter's enhanced state requires the consumption of the undead virus in her body to maintain.

In other words, as long as you eliminate the source of the undead virus around you, your granddaughter will change back to normal."

As Richard spoke, he covered Irene's mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief.

Woohoo! !

Irene seemed to hate the wet handkerchief on her nose and kept twisting her body.

“A delicate undead being chained to the ground without any chance of resistance, with a sturdy man covering her mouth, this scene is really suffocating.

To what extent do the dead have to live? This society is too harsh on the dead! It’s so frustrating! "

Richard muttered to himself as he stepped on Irene's stomach. Suddenly she stopped shaking.

Although the undead virus can enter the body through the pores, its main route of entry is through the mouth and nose. As long as the mouth and nose are blocked, the concentration of the undead virus absorbed by Irene will not be enough to support her to continue to maintain the state of flame mummy.

Soon, the temperature of Irene, whose mouth and nose were blocked, dropped rapidly, and the charred parts of her body gradually decomposed and dissipated, and the recovery allowed her to return to a normal person.

Richard let go of the wet handkerchief, and casually pulled Irene's grandmother's bed sheet and wrapped it around Irene. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Irene's grandmother:
“Well, your granddaughter is rescued.

It will take a long time for the undead virus in her body to reach the critical point that will cause her to mutate again. She will be safe for a short time. When she wakes up, ask her to put on her clothes by herself. Then try to control her emotions. "

Irene's grandmother asked nervously, "My Lord, are you leaving now?"

"I still have to patrol the village to look for other villagers who may have mutated. Protect yourself and don't open the door when you hear someone knocking."

"What if you knock on the door, sir?"

"Don't worry, if you hear a knock on the door, it's definitely not me."

Richard smiled and looked at the big hole in the wall.

"I don't like to leave. Okay, I'm leaving. Oh, wait, before I go..."

He looked at Irene's grandmother and chuckled, "I almost forgot about the important matter."

Richard walked towards Irene's grandmother, put the staff on her forehead, and whispered:

"My dear, you have a pair of breathtaking eyes. They should not remain silent."

What do you mean?
Irene's grandmother was still in a daze, when suddenly, a cool feeling surrounded her eyes, making her feel refreshed.

Richard smiled slightly, turned and left.

After a long time, Irene's grandmother trembled and opened her eyes. When the long-lost light flooded into Irene's grandmother's eyes again, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"What a wonderful person. Although I didn't see his face, he must have a very beautiful heart.

May the dragon of light bless him and guide him into the light."

……

……

Lions Village. When Richard heard these four words in the narration and the plot introduction, he didn't fully realize where he was.

But when he entered the village and saw the architectural style of the village, he understood everything.

This is the Lions Village of the Holy See, but this is not the Lions Village of today, but the Lions Village 490 years ago - when the Seven Cities Alliance had not yet gained independence from the Holy See.

Undead virus riot - this is a very bad event.

A wizard named Katoen used some strictly prohibited magical methods when researching lich potions, which resulted in a large-scale leak of a strange undead virus.

The population of more than 20 villages and a city surrounding the Mage Tower were all killed, with a death toll of more than people. This was extremely horrible!

Because of Katoen's behavior, the Holy See directly launched a fifteen-year magic restriction order, which is known in history as the Demon Sealing Incident.

During these fifteen years, all magical research and rituals need to be reported to the Vatican and can only begin after approval from the Vatican. In addition, they must be reported again after a certain period of time. Otherwise, it will be considered illegal and the person will be arrested and imprisoned by the Vatican.

After 15 years, the decision on whether to retain, amend or repeal the law will be made based on the implementation of the decree.

For a wizard, ritual is air; for a mage, research is water.

It is essential for survival and is needed every day.

For spellcasters, the Magic Restriction Order is like having to report every time they eat, drink, or go to the toilet, otherwise they will go to jail.

Who can bear this?

The magic restriction order severely limited the status of spellcasters in the Silver Castle, and eventually led to a large number of spellcasters rebelling.

The extremely evil undead virus, as the fuse that led to the magic restriction order, naturally became a highlight in history books.

The conditions and effects of the Undead Virus have long been disassembled and analyzed countless times by countless experts, and various enhanced and modified versions are flying around.

Richard naturally remembered it clearly.

“The undead virus leaked by Mage Katoen is just the most basic version of the undead virus with the simplest effect.

After everyone inhales enough undead virus, a pattern will form on their belly.

As long as I can see the skin on the belly or chest, I can determine the other party's mutation conditions and the approximate state after mutation based on the type of pattern.

If it's just the mutated villagers, it won't be difficult to deal with them."

Richard sighed quietly and thought to himself:

"The difficult part is Mage Katoon himself - the culprit of everything."
