Chapter 537 Progress
The powerful currents generated by the magic gave the sailboat unparalleled speed, and it was only a little more than a day later, that is, in the evening of the second day after sailing, that it reached the outskirts of the Nälancer Islands, and it was believed that it would be safely docked at the pier on the island of Brinnroe before midnight.
I don't know what's going on along the way, I haven't seen any pirates at all, and the calm is a little incredible. You must know that the Ixyville Strait between the Nälancer Islands and the mainland peninsula is full of pirates all year round, and normally there are always more than two dozen pirate ships cruising nearby, and it is very strange that there is no one like this now.
Cunning and sophisticated Simon. Havarian had apparently noticed the situation as well, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of concern. With his knowledge of the sea, this was absolutely impossible unless the pirates had a very strict internal bargain.
"Captain, shall we go around to the back of the island and send a small boat ashore to have a look?" The first mate asked cautiously. He knew very well what his boss had done, and if he was caught by some rival, it would be over.
"No, go full speed ahead and go straight to the port. If you really encounter any trouble, I believe that our guests will definitely come forward to solve it. Simon smiled treacherously as he spoke. There is no doubt that he is playing the ideas of the Shadow Thieves Guild and Henry and the others, but it is unknown who will have the last laugh in the end.
Hearing this, the first mate couldn't help but shudder and reminded in a low voice, "Captain, that's the Shadow Thieves Guild." If we are really offended, I am afraid that we will beware of daggers in the shadows wherever we go in the future. And I also heard that the gentleman dressed as a mage was a big man, not only a powerful nobleman, but also a terrifying personal strength. ”
Simon pursed his lips disdainfully: "Big shot? Shadow thief? It doesn't matter. Are there still fewer forces that have been played by us? Now I don't live the same life! Remember. Use your brain to do things. As long as your reaction is a little bit faster than theirs. It'll never be fine. ”
"Damn! You still have the face to mention these things! It's not all because of you that we've fled here from the South! Please! Don't play that white wolf trick with empty gloves again, or the brothers will be killed by you sooner or later. After speaking, the first mate took out the copper flask and poured it hard. He was really a little scared, knowing that it was not pleasant to be hunted down.
"Alright, alright, my friend. Don't worry, I'll be a little more restrained this time and promise not to take the initiative to cause trouble. Seeing his friend's gloomy face, Simon hurriedly smiled and assured. But it's hard to say whether it can actually be done. He also knew that something would happen sooner or later, and he was afraid that it would be too late by then.
After entering the waters of the archipelago, the speed of the ship slowed down, and the strong air currents were nowhere to be found. Because of the dense number of small islands and reefs, there are some places that are fine at high tide, but once the tide recedes, a large area of land will be exposed, and it is easy to destroy the ship if you drive too fast.
However, this qiē has nothing to do with Henry. He is now engrossed in checking the mutation status of the virus in his cabin, and has also asked the succubus servant Naxis to go out into the sea to catch dozens of fish, starfish, crabs, shellfish, etc., in preparation for the live realization.
After a night of intense radiation, more than 30 animalized viruses produced genetic mutations with different processes and characteristics. For example, a new virus with the label 27 attached. Not only does it increase the chance of infection to 100% (there is a certain probability that ordinary virus sensation will be resisted by people with strong physique), but it also greatly enhances the quality of all aspects of the body. Especially in terms of strength, agility and physique.
The most important thing is that it gets rid of the beasts' dependence on the moon, and it will erupt immediately after more than six hours of lurking, and it does not need to wait until the next full moon to manifest like ordinary bestiality infected people.
Of course, there are pros and cons, and the price is that the infected creatures will completely lose their minds, completely controlled by the instinct to kill and eat, manic, irritable, and actively attack all moving targets, in short, in addition to not being able to devour evolution, it is very close to the bioviruses in those games and movies on Earth.
Although the virus was enough to wreak havoc on the Dark Elf City, Henry was not satisfied. He has done live tests on more than 30 viruses one by one, and some of them are so contagious that they can even be transmitted to the next target by simply cutting through a layer of oily skin. Some of them have the property of devouring evolution, and as long as they can take in enough nutrients, they can quickly become a monster with extremely strong vitality.
Under the stimulation of nuclear radiation, the bestial pathogen has undergone all kinds of unbelievable changes, and there is a regenerative ability that can play a troll-like role, far beyond the original prediction, which can be said to be an eye-opener.
If these things are released to the outside world now, I am afraid that it will not be long before a terrifying catastrophe breaks out in the entire main material plane, and countless lives will die, whether it is land or sea.
In a certain way, this thing is no less powerful than legendary magic. Although it has little effect on high-level professionals, it is used to kill and injure several ordinary people and animals, and the destructive power is absolutely terrifying.
Imagine if a city was infected by these viruses on a large scale, and then a large number of civilians were quickly transformed into the source of the riots, and it would not take a few days to spread to every corner, and then the entire city would be destroyed unless all the infected residents were killed.
You must know that this is not a few years later, the magical plague that transforms people into undead creatures in Neverwinter can be cured with a targeted antidote. This is a variant of the bestial virus that can change genes, and as long as it lasts more than an hour, it will be completely incurable.
Henry carefully put those valuable samples into a brand new culture medium and sealed them, and then picked out several kinds of highly transmittal, widely adaptable, violently mutated, and evolvable abilities, all of which were put together and let them fuse and eliminate each other to produce an ultimate (biological) weapon.
A thought of coming soon in Uster. The scene staged in the city of Naza, he couldn't help but have a cold smile, and the expression on his face looked very terrifying, even the demon Naiss couldn't help but tremble, and at the same time admired the evil power of his master.
She pointed to the strange fish with fangs in the barrel and asked, "Master, what should I do with this thing?" ”
This was originally just a small fish one finger long and two fingers wide, but under the stimulation of the virus, it quickly grew a mouthful of fangs, and in just a few minutes, it ate all the infected creatures in the bucket, and now it is a strange fish with a body length of more than one meter and covered with rough scales.
Obviously, this thing must not be put back into the sea, otherwise once it gets enough food, it will change from quantitative to qualitative in a few days, and it is likely to grow into a terrifying deep-sea beast eventually.
Looking at the strange fish that kept rolling in the barrel, Henry didn't even think about taking out Uster. Teller's Dust Staff, a direct "dissociation" turned it into a pile of powder. As for the seawater inside, it can't be poured out, God knows if it contains any virus, so it can only be completely evaporated with fire magic.
After completing this qiē, he said to his succubus servant, "Give you a task, from now on keep an eye on the captain of this ship, Simon. Havarian. Whatever he does, don't interfere, just watch. Remember, don't be spotted or you'll ......"
"Please rest assured, that's just a mere mortal, and I can complete this mission easily." Naixis hurriedly lowered his head and made an assurance. She was already frightened by the terrifying methods of her master, and she didn't want to listen to what else was going on.
"Very well, I hope you won't let me down. Also, don't underestimate this Captain Simon, his treacherous Cheng Dù is definitely not much worse than your kind, so it's best to be vigilant at all times. With that, Henry waved his hand and signaled for the succubus to leave. He's going to be doing some research on legendary magic, and he doesn't want anyone to bother here.
Naxis bowed, activated the stealth ability, and left the cabin. After two days of getting along, she almost knew the temper of her master, so she did not dare to be sloppy in carrying out the order, otherwise if she failed, she would have to accept a very terrible punishment.
After the succubus left, Henry immediately took out the notes sent by Congus, and finally chose the legendary spell "Twin Demon" as the research object. As for the reason is very simple, it costs little money (the casting material only needs a part of the body of the Barlow Flame Demon), and it is powerful (summoning two Legendary-level demons at once), although it can only give simple orders such as "attack", "defend", "attack someone", "protect me", etc., but the strength of the Barlow Flame Demon itself is completely enough to make up for this qiē.
It can be said that this is a very cost-effective legendary spell, and it has both offense and defense, and if it doesn't work, it can be thrown down as cannon fodder, and it is quite versatile. There is only one drawback, that is, the time limit is a bit short, only about half an hour, and after the end, whether they die or not, the two Barlow Flame Demons will be forcibly repatriated back to the abyss.
After more than an hour of research, Henry found that this magic was surprisingly simple, basically interdimensional teleportation + magic control. The former guarantees the ability to teleport a large demon to the main plane, while the latter ensures that the summoned demon does not turn around and attack the caster.
Demons are not devils, they don't keep any contracts, contracts, oaths or anything like that, they only have one thing in their eyes, and that is naked power. Therefore, only if the caster's strength is more than twice that of the Barlow Flame Demon, this legendary spell can be cast smoothly.
Henry is now at forty-two cast level, so there won't be any problems with it. As for the only difficulty, obtaining a part of the body organs of the Barorn Demon was not a problem at all. He obtained several relatively intact corpses in the dimensional sphere in one go, enough to be used hundreds of times.
Carefully pulling out a small piece of Barlow's finger, Henry began to carefully build a spell model in his brain. Since it was the first time, it was very slow, and it took at least half an hour to complete...... (To be continued......)
