Chapter 364: Plague City (Part II)
The plague cage Morag is located in the southern part of the eastern plains, and when viewed from above, it looks like a large basin-shaped pit has been dug in the plains where the surface of the earth is not very undulating.
It's just that the difference between the bottom of the pit and the edge is nearly a few hundred meters.
Perhaps thinking that such measures were not enough, the King's Council even allocated funds to erect a white wall called the Wall of Mary, which was tens of meters high, at the edge of the pit. The wall was about ten meters thick, mostly empty, and served as a residence for Morag's guards.
Also to prevent the inhabitants of the plague from escaping, the Wall of Maria has an inspection station approximately every three hundred meters, which is responsible for keeping an eye on the situation inside and bringing criminals from all over the Eastern Plains into Morag.
This is Inspector 13.
Originally, this was the time for the guards to play cards and chatβafter all, Morag only made one trip a day to patrol the whole station in the evening, and the rest of the time there was basically nothing to do, and the work was extremely leisurely.
But now there are a total of 130 guards at the 13th inspection station, and they have not even had a chance to send distress signals to the other inspection stations, so they have all been released to ......
Professor Francon...... Is that really okay? β
Tannis asked uneasily as he looked at the frothing guards on the ground.
"Of course there is a problem."
Franken, who was changing his clothes, confessed without hesitation: "If the King's Council finds out, we will undoubtedly be thrown into the Cube prison." β
"Then don't do such a thing!"
A young man from a noble background wanted to cry without tears.
"Aren't you going to change your clothes faster than that, Tannis?" Kamiyo felt no guilt at all. Anyway, they didn't kill the guards, they just made them unconscious.
Although it has been decades since the source of the plague was dropped, neither the Seven Yao Mage Tower nor the King's Council have cracked this new type of undead magic.
In fact, after Morag was established as a forbidden place more than a decade ago, and the addition of people who do not die but whose sins are unforgivable are thrown into this plague prison, both families have almost stopped deciphering the magic of the source of the plague - many necromancers are curious about this magic, but they are often crushed by several extremely powerful pure white church chapters around Morag before they can get close.
However, although it is impossible to decipher this magic, and there is currently no effective way to heal the infected (Sivi's poison removal crystal does not count), a certain amount of prevention is still no problem. It is important to know that the Ludao inspection site also has a rule to go down to Morag to inspect on the spot, and if there is no specific defense method, these guards will probably leave their burdens long ago......
And nowadays, the best way to prevent it is still a protective suit specially made by the Alchemy Section of the Qiyao Mage Association.
This costume, which looks a bit like a spacesuit, has the dual effect of keeping out diseases and preventing curses. And with a special enchantment. It can also greatly increase the combat power of the wearer, and it is a great tool to use as a special item for the guards to patrol Morag.
At this point, what Franconian did was put another hazmat suit on top of his suit.
It's just that the process is obviously not so smooth.
"Professor...... Isn't there a smaller one of these clothes? β
Dorothy angrily threw the white rubber pants, which were too fat no matter how she looked, to the ground, and asked helplessly.
"I really can't wear it...... And this helmet is so heavy......" Riddle took off the metal hood and placed it on the ground. Said with some frustration.
"In that case." Francony looks fine. Except for the fact that the body is relatively thin, which makes the protective clothing feel empty, there is basically no other problem.
He put the hood on. The urn said angrily: "Then one of you hides underneath, one sits on his shoulder, and the two of you wear one." β
As he spoke, he also pulled out his wand and tapped it on a few little guys, and the wind elemental suddenly became active around them, making them feel that their bodies were much lighter.
"While the hood protects against the curse, it is also very resistant to demons, I can't temporarily enchant it to reduce the weight, but this way, you can hold out for at least a few hours."
After Franconian finished speaking, he nodded as if he was satisfied with what he had done: "Sure enough, it's a good idea." β
"Not good at all!" β
After complaining loudly with a few of his friends, Tannis felt even more powerless.
- Morag? Sage Street? Ancient dust thrift storeββ
Claude? Stan pushes open the wooden door, which is as worn out as the name suggests, strides into the store, and greets the balding old man who is sitting behind the counter wiping a piece of crystal.
"Morning, old Maude." His freckled face showed a hearty smile that was completely different from this lifeless city: "You seem to have gained weight again, how much do you weigh now?" β
"Hmph, I weigh as much as I make money." The old man turned white as he did, and lightly put the crystal piece in his hand back into the box stuffed with the sponge.
"Then I wish you a successful weight loss soon." Claude replied with a grin, and then looked left and right vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no one else in the store and outside, he approached the old man and whispered: "Do you still have the same goods as last time?" β
"Stinky boy, last time you failed to escape and was caught, I almost got cleaned up by those unreasonable guards, what are you doing this time, haven't you had enough of the hardship?"
The old man blew his beard and glared and put the box back in the cabinet behind him: "If it weren't for the fact that Morag didn't have the death penalty, you would have been packed up for so many runs." β
"Staying in a city like this is the difference between the death penalty." Without hesitation, Claude replied, "It's just the difference between dying a little earlier and dying a little later." β
"According to your boy, everyone is sentenced to death from the moment they are born, a little early and a little later."
The old man also stopped what he was doing and persuaded Claude: "I said you better live in peace, I heard the minions of the windmill last time say that those old men in the white city confessed, if you continue to make such trouble, those guys in the windmill will come forward to kill you...... Morag is not ignorant of this place, those lords in the White City are the biggest, and then the windmill and the black river cover the sky with one hand, if they really do it, you will die in vain. β
"I have a reason to go."
Claude was silent for a moment, and then his tone regained firmness: "My mother said before she died, my father must still be waiting for me somewhere in the world. I'm going to have to find him! β
"And then? Live with him? The old man asked.
"Nope." Claude smashed his fist: "It's going to punch him!" (To be continued......)
