The arrival of more than 100 successors in the underground city must have been a long time later.

Even if they suddenly decided not to come, Nefertari would not blame them for this - she, as a wise man, naturally knew that "grace should not be enmity".

And the most important thing at the moment is to help those three young people.

Let their souls no longer be corrupted by meaningless nightmares.

"I really don't know what happened inside the nightmare 'Spore Mill'. Like you don't know......"

After all, this nightmare is too dangerous.

Once inside, it's hard to extricate itself – like a larvae that has fallen into a spider's web.

Those who barely survived this nightmare did not dare to try a second time.

- A wise man is never reckless.

When she realized that this nightmare could not be purified by her own power, she would not even try—it was a meaningless act that put herself at risk.

Not only did Nefertari herself not enter this nightmare, but she even stopped Niusel, who wanted to enter this nightmare back then.

At that time, Niusel was not as stable as it is now.

He is still a hot-blooded boy, like a big dog who sparks joy. I still don't understand that there are some things in this world that can't be changed by one's own power - such a truth.

But Nefertari didn't do nothing, either.

Although she had never entered the nightmare once, she did some research in her spare time.

- She's just in case.

If there is any chance to solve this nightmare in the future, or if the situation is so urgent that you have to enter the nightmare, you can grasp the situation as quickly as possible. Don't start reloading when the enemy arrives in front of you.

It's called foresight.

"I've already investigated what happened in the Black Mushroom Mill back then."

Nefertari said to Niusel seriously, "You can tell them these things. Maybe it can help them. ”

"Say it, I'll remember it."

Overseer Niusel nodded.

"As you know...... The Black Mushroom Mill had an accident in July seven years ago. In another seven months, it will be seven years now. ”

Speaking of this, Nefertari paused slightly.

Speaking of which, "seven" is a lucky number.

Does this also portend something?

She shook her head slightly, and continued, "The miller's name is Ian, and he has a dwarf wife and a daughter, Alice, who is only seven years old.

"At that time, there was a strange epidemic in the city for a while."

Those who are in the mushroom industry suddenly start to develop blisters on their bodies. At first, it was just a red spot, but then it turned into a transparent blister and became itchy and unbearable.

As they continue to touch the mushrooms, the blisters grow larger and more transparent, until they find it difficult to work. If the blister is punctured, there is a chance that the surrounding people will be infected with the blister.

"...... Seven Years Ago"

Niusel pondered: "You were in the Bone Eater Forest at that time, right?" ”

"Well, it's not too far from here."

Nefertari nodded and asked casually, "And you were still exploring the layer...... Probably near the ember barren field? ”

Niusel snorted: "Yes, I was lucky. Then I discovered another mining area, the Mithro excavation site. ”

"Then you don't know about it. At that time, it was not yet famous, but it was a logging area built around the 'Lost Forest', and was temporarily named 'Black Mushroom Mill'. It's not a serious metropolitan area, so there are no wise men and diggers.

"The lumberjacks realized what spores they might have been infected with...... He sent a disease-free messenger to the nearest city, the 'Bone Cultivation Land' near the Bone Eater Forest. My teacher was there at the time. ”

Nefertari said, reaching out to the ritual plate behind him.

Under her tugging, a light blue glow appeared on the ritual disk. The locations of the Ash Forest, the Bone Eater Forest, the Bone Cultivation Ground, and the Black Mushroom Mill were quickly outlined.

"'The Healer' Seti?"

Niusel reacted immediately.

Nefertari became a wise man at a young age, and was not unrelated to her teacher, a golden-order transcendent.

As the most powerful idol sorcerer in the Underground Federation, as well as the best healer and learned ritualist, no one wants to offend him.

After all, no one knows when they will suddenly need a doctor's help......

Nefertari learns about mystical rituals from Seti and some fur healing skills along the way. Because she didn't want to be a transcendent being, she was able to graduate from Master Seti early and become a wise man by virtue of Setti's connections.

“…… Isn't that right? ”

Niusel quickly sensed the inconsistencies: "If Master Seti is there, this little problem should be solved quickly." ”

Since he hadn't heard of it now, there had been such a strange disease in the Black Mushroom Mill before. That means it's a trifle...... At least it was finally dealt with.

After all, he had never seen anything like it in all these years.

"Herein lies the problem."

Nefertari said slowly, "It's not a disease, it's a curse.

"It is a believer in the god of poison and spiders, 'Black Widow', who put poison in the mushroom."

“…… So Master Seti can't solve it either? ”

"How could it be. It's just that in order to see through and dissolve the unknown curse hidden in the 'poison', the teacher needs more time to develop the antidote. ”

The red-haired woman took a deep breath: "But ...... Lumberjacks, can't wait.

For some reason, one of them soon came to say that there was no solution to this strange disease, and that the messenger had taken the opportunity to escape...... He won't come back.

"There was panic among the lumberjacks. But they soon noticed that the Ian family, who were also exposed to mushrooms, did not get sick.

They asked Ian why he wasn't sick. But Ian apparently didn't know because he hadn't been exposed to poisonous mushrooms. Finally, the panicked lumberjacks quickly came to the conclusion that it was the Ian family who poisoned them. ”

"There is no evidence for this, there is no doubt about a false association. But they were unhappy with Ian's family in the first place - they were also workers, but Ian, who had a mushroom mill, could make more money with less money and less effort.

"In the end, in the process of 'asking for an explanation' and 'asking for an antidote', they broke up with the Ian family. However, the Black Widow believers mixed in the crowd'

Dward', but at this point he once again agitated the others to use the Ian family's liver grinding antidote.

"You know, this is a traditional remedy in the pioneer era. Of course, we now know that this is not effective...... And yet they don't know anything about it.

At the time, about a quarter of the lumberjacks responded to Dward's incitement. The others, though they felt inappropriate and too aggressive, ultimately did not stop the loggers' atrocities, after all, the Ian family was unfamiliar with all of them.

"They're just watching from afar.

"Ian's wife is an escaped murderer from the Duchy of Winter...... is a silver-tier transcendent criminal. But she is disabled, has been tortured by frost beasts for a long time, and when she was imprisoned, she set a curse of 'no harming' and 'no killing', and her combat effectiveness is not as good as before. Her profession is the 'Giant Slayer', and her professional abilities are not very helpful in combat, while Dward, the equivalent of the Bishop of the Black Widow, has mastered thirteen different toxin-based supernatural abilities after murdering thirteen people.

After a fight with Deward, she was defeated but escaped. But seeing that Ian was disemboweled, and her daughter was still sleeping upstairs, she still took a weapon and killed her, killing Dward, but also triggering her own curse, losing her strength, and finally being poisoned to death.

Eventually, the family was pushed into a gear machine for grinding mushrooms. The resentment and curse of extreme intensity turned into substance, gushing out of the endless stream of blood like a river from the machine, involving the mob and the watchers who were waiting for the 'cure', and finally swallowed up by the machine.

"A blood-soaked mill, overgrown with mushrooms. And half a day after that...... The messenger who had lost his way from the labyrinth was late with the message that 'Master Seti will be arriving in three days'.

"But it's half a day late...... It's all late. ”

Nefertari sighed.

In her opinion, Ian's wife is naturally not a good person...... But this group of thugs deserved it.

They are innocent of death.

But what made her a little entangled was that the "mastermind", "evildoer", and "bystander" all ended up in the same fate...... Today, even innocent passers-by are caught up in cobweb-like nightmares and tortured to death.

The prevailing view of nightmares is that resentment can dramatically increase the intensity of nightmares. Because nightmares are wounds left in the world by dead transcendents, a bloody last word to "let the world remember my death".

What Nefertari knows is that this nightmare is still killing innocent people to this day.

From this point of view, this hatred has been fermented so far, and it has been deformed.

The victims of the past are now no different from the perpetrators.

- It's time for this nightmare to be ended.
