Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 30 Plague Potion

The group hit the road again.

The four horses galloped wildly, leaving deep hoof prints on the road where the snow had not yet completely melted.

However, compared to the silent rush before, the itinerary at the moment is a little noisy. From time to time, shrill laughter resonated on both sides of the road as the horses moved forward.

"Big man! Where are you going? ”

"We're going to Lakesprings to find trouble with the bone racks!"

“…… Looking for trouble with the bone shelf? Mildis is also going! ”

"Huh?"

"That bad skull face said he was going to turn Mildis into a zombie! Mildis hates Skull Face! So Mildis decided to give Skull Face some trouble! ”

“…… Well, I'm not against it. What about you? Oh...... Well, okay. Midi, come along. ”

There seemed to be a piece of upbeat music in my ears, and a short text popped up, "Mildis Phantom Hand became a companion".

In this way, Mildis joined the team and was now riding with Fang Qiuling. He shouted and shouted along the way, and he couldn't get excited. To have the opportunity to be a "horse that only big men can ride", the little dwarf is directly crazy.

- That's good, this heartless optimist.

Whether it was Fang Qiuling or the other three, they all expressed their admiration for the dwarf who was always happy, and envied it from the bottom of their hearts. The contents of the silver rings made each of them look bitter and couldn't laugh at all. Even without looking at it, he had the courage to stuff this kind of thing directly into his pocket, does Mildis's behavior mean that he is fearless, or is he heartless?

Fang Qiuling found six small bottles containing brownish-green liquid from the silver storage ring. Although he was only a theoretical alchemist and did not have much practical experience, he still completed the identification of six bottles of unknown potions - all of them were highly lethal poisons with extremely contagious properties!

The darkest of the three vials was Black Death. The symptoms of this agent are very similar to those of the Black Death, mainly manifested by high fever, swollen and painful lymph nodes, inflammation of the lungs, and bleeding tendency...... If you don't get timely treatment after the onset of symptoms, you usually die within five to seven days.

The two vials were slightly lighter in color. The black hallucinatory is a strong hallucinogenic agent, and patients who are contaminated with it mainly manifest as internal bleeding and confusion, accompanied by intense hallucinations. Intense hallucinations often cause the poisoned person to perceive everyone around them as a threat, and then attack in a frenzied manner. In the process of going berserk, they ignore the pain, ignore the damage they receive. The end result is often death from exhaustion.

Although these five vials are called poisons, they are actually a true plague of magic. For a town of Lakesprings' size, it only takes one bottle to make the entire town sick. In the entire Misty Lake area, there are very few villages that can reach the scale of Huquan Town. It is also said that these five bottles of poison are enough to turn most of the misty lake into a dead zone.

Carrying such a lethal poison into your arms, it's not that people who have no heart and lungs really can't do this kind of thing! At least Fang Qiuling felt that it was cold behind his back now.

However, the transmission method of these five vials of magical plague is still relatively "primitive", and it must be mixed with food or water to be eaten before it can take effect. If the plague is boiled at high temperatures or boiled directly before consumption, the effect of the plague will be greatly reduced. If the inhabitants of Elune had relatively good hygiene habits, neither the Black Death Poison nor the Black Illusion Poison would have made a splash. Of course, the inhabitants of Elune certainly don't have any hygiene habits at the moment, let alone good ones......

And the last bottle of poison, it's the real key! It took Fang Qiuling a long time to determine what was in the bottle, and after making sure that, his face became very ugly!

The dark green elixir mixed with a large amount of sediment has no obvious characteristics, and looks like a bottle of "wastewater".

"Wastewater" is a popular term for the player, referring to the liquid at the bottom of the potion pot used for alchemy.

The composition of the liquid at the bottom layer is very responsible, including not only the residues of various herbs and catalysts put into the alchemy, but also the various impurities produced during the alchemy process. It is toxic, but the toxicity is weak, and it can make people have diarrhea a few times; It has a certain degree of corrosiveness, but the corrosiveness is not strong, drinking into the stomach is a matter of pulling the stomach several times, it can be imagined that it is corrosive; It is very viscous, but it only takes a little water to dissolve a large area; It has a disgusting odor, but can be kept out by placing a random cloth on your nose.

——Used as a poison, the toxicity is very weak and the corrosiveness is poor, and it fails! When used as a viscous agent, it will melt in large pieces when it encounters a little water, and it fails! As a gas bomb, the stench is not strong enough, and it is very easy to isolate, fail!

Except that the eerie green color will frighten the unknowingly untruthful, the liquid at the bottom of the pot-pounding pot can be said to be useless. So it was directly branded as "wastewater" by the player, and it was useless except to pour it out!

To measure the strength of an alchemist, the amount of "wastewater" in the pot is extremely important! The less "wastewater" means, the more chemicals can be successfully boiled, and the higher the alchemy efficiency; The more "wastewater" there is, the more alchemy materials are wasted, and this kind of alchemist is very annoying, and no one wants to see the alchemy materials they have worked so hard to collect go to waste.

Do necromancers put a useless bottle of "wastewater" in a storage ring? Of course, it's not impossible. Wizards always have some messy little hobbies, such as using this thing as a drink or something...... Why did Fang Qiuling pay special attention to this bottle of "wastewater" and study it repeatedly? If nothing else, but because of the extremely eye-catching packaging of "wastewater" - the Agateco crystal bottle.

Centuries ago, there was an alchemist named O'Neill Ageno, who was obsessed with the study of magical poisons. In order to preserve the "artwork" he had painstakingly refined and "for future generations to admire", he processed the quartz stone with alchemic techniques, and after repeated attempts, he completed a special material crystal bottle with excellent isolation function.

This crystal bottle is very sturdy and extremely resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for storing corrosive poisons and high-grade magic potions. It is said that the liquid in this crystal bottle is much more effective when used than in other containers. Later alchemists then named the crystal bottle he invented after O'Neill Agtheno.

There are no shortcomings in the Agano crystal bottle itself, but you get what you pay for, and its cost is not cheap. Is it possible that the useless "wastewater" should be stored in the highest quality crystal bottles? Mamo, the Dark Nation, is not rich enough to waste the Agano Crystal Bottle!

The Dark Realm Mamo produces a wide variety of poisons. Among the many poisons, only a few single-digit varieties are dark green in color. And among the poisons of these dark green varieties, only one poison will have a large amount of impurities in it......

Fang Qiuling looked at it, thought about it, thought about it for a long time, and finally affirmed his judgment - the plague potion!

Plague potions are something more terrifying than the Plague of Magic. As the name suggests, it no longer belongs to the category of poison or magic poison, but to magic potions. This potion has only one function, and that is to create a special kind of undead spirit with the cooperation of magical rituals - the Plaguebringer.

The Plaguebringer, who still maintains a humanoid appearance in general, seems to be a combination of a zombie and a ghoul. However, it does not have the stiff flesh of a zombie or the nimble skills of a ghoul. His physical strength is very average, and it can even be said that he is a little weaker than ordinary humans.

What is the meaning of the existence of low-level undead who do not have physical superiority? The significance of the Plaguebringer is that it can take a plague that would otherwise need to be eaten to spread into an airborne spread!

Why did Fang Qiuling know this, because he hadn't fought the Plague Envoy once or twice in the game. From the middle of the First Kuroshio War, the Plaguebringer can be seen in dungeons, siege battles, and even encounters in the wild. They hide in the middle of the battle line, weakening the player's combat power in the form of aura-type debuffs. WITH MULTIPLE NEGATIVE DEBUFFS, UNPREPARED PLAYERS OFTEN DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW THEY DIED. Therefore, the Plaguebringer has always been a village that players hate, and it is also the first target that players want to destroy.

The terrifying thing about plague potions is that if you catch someone and pour the potion down, even if there is no corresponding magic ritual to cooperate, that person will become a plague bringer in a short period of time, and immediately become a mobile source of plague infection! The stronger the body, the stronger it will be after becoming a plague bringer. Magical rituals are really just auxiliaries, with the aim of increasing the "lifespan" of the plaguebringer and extending the "life cycle". Whether or not there is a magical ritual will not affect the birth of the Plaguebringer.

The one bottle of plague potion and five bottles of plague poison that have been seized so far, if done properly, let alone destroy the Mist Lake area, it is not impossible to directly turn all the areas west of the Rift Fortress into a dead domain!

For such six hot potatoes, the kind of potatoes that can directly burn the skin, Fang Qiuling really wanted to throw them all away. With me, I'm worried that they will leak if I'm not careful! Even though he knew very well that the dangerous liquids were contained in the corresponding crystal bottle containers, and then loaded into the storage rings, there should theoretically be no possibility of leakage......

After listening to Fang Qiuling's explanation and explanation, Ms. Mogre was still expressionless. But at this moment, she rode on the horse, and the whip that fell on the horse's butt couldn't help but be a little heavier. Unlike the horses that left the Agarwal Valley, which had a little spare strength, they were now completely disrespectful of the horses and were moving at full speed. You have to get back to Lakesprings as soon as possible!
