Artificer Adventure Guide

"Woo——"

In the sky, the desolate horn sounded through the rain curtain on the ground, and the zombie professionals who had originally planned to continue the attack left unwillingly.

"Phew~, we seem to be saved temporarily!"

Wiping the sweat from his face, Sherrill expressed his emotions about the rest of his life with lingering fear.

If there were more zombies, they might just tell them here.

"Thank you again, brother. I am the mage of the Twelve Academy. You must be very confused about the current situation. Come, let's chat while we eat."

Led Karl to sit down on the still intact steps in the hall, Sherrill began to introduce the existence of the Death Dragon Mark and the demise of the family just like Nia's father.

The first half was no different from what Nia's father knew, but when it came to what happened on the island, Sherrill revealed a piece of news that surprised Karl.

"What? The reason why the defense force in the storm is so weak is because the Storm Dragon Mark family attacked Karnas?"

Before coming here, Karl and everyone felt that it was a bit unbelievable that the Lich Queen was suddenly doing this in the storm. They thought that there was a traitor within the family, and they worked together to trick the backbone of the family.

But according to Fisher, the Dragonmarked Family had already learned about the relationship between the Blood of Vol and the Emerald Claw from Queen Andal.

Karnas sold out all the information about the Blood of Vol Church in the territory in exchange for the Twelve Dragon Marks family to suppress the Blood of Vol.

The Lich Queen hated the twelve dragon-marked families, and the twelve dragon-marked families were naturally afraid of her power.

In the past, everyone only knew that the Emerald Claw had something to do with her.

But when everyone learned that she had linked the Emerald Claw to the Blood of Vol sect in Karnas, and was able to carry out targeted espionage operations against Andal, the revenge of the dragonmarked family came.

When the Lich Queen rained down the alchemical undead in the storm, the Blood of Vol churches on the land of Karnas also turned into scorched earth under the saturation attack.

This was a complete change of family, and both the Lich Queen and the reserve forces of the Storm Dragon Marked Family suffered heavy losses.

"What about us? Even for the sake of the face of the Twelve Dragon Marked Family, the Storm Dragon Marked Family can't leave us here to fend for ourselves?"

After listening to Sherrill's analysis of the attack, Karl's eyes widened and he found it difficult to accept it.

"There will definitely be rescue. No one expected her to attack here before. Logically speaking, she should attack the base camp of the Medical Dragon Mark Family.

The most important thing is that because of the competition between Andal and the Nine Paths, all the real dignitaries went to Fairhaven to discuss cooperation. The number of dignitaries and their guards in the storm was reduced to the minimum, so the Storm Dragon Mark family... …”

At this point, Sherrill's face became distorted, and he didn't want to continue talking.

"So, in order to expand the results of the war, some people from the family took away the high-level combat and communication personnel originally reserved, but they directly stole their homes?"

Seeing that the other party was reluctant to continue speaking, Karl helped him finish the next words.

Nodding hard, Sherrill showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"The relationship between the family members within the family is not harmonious, especially the Storm Dragon Marked family. Because they started off the pirate industry a long time ago, they are a bit cruel. In order to be able to perform in front of the family's senior leaders, the young family members... …”

Before Sherrill finished speaking, Karl waved his hand to show that he understood.

"So, this incident is both a natural disaster and a man-made disaster?"

Clenching his two fists, Karl felt that his filter for the dragon-marked family was shattered by reality.

Although he couldn't see Karl's appearance, Sherrill could realize that the young-voiced man in front of him was angry because of his psychic powers.

"Don't be too angry. It has always been like this. When we become big shots in the future, no one will be able to ignore us like this."

Patting Carl's power armor shoulder, Sherrill tried to comfort Carl.

The eyes under the helmet stared at each other blankly, Karl sighed, turned around and ran into the rain.

Sherrill didn't even have a chance to stop him, and Karl disappeared into the rain.

…

"How's it going? Have you researched anything?"

In the B\u0026B area, Karl, who returned, took off his power armor and watched Nia conduct experiments on the captured female zombie in a swimsuit.

"As my dad said, this infection is combined with alchemy. Although it seems that they are just controlled by some alchemical potion, they are already undead creatures. Those physiological reactions are more like keeping the zombies highly mobile. It exists for sex and antisepsis.

What's more important is that this green rain can continue to infect the human body. Unless you are a god with a constitution of 20 points or a monk who has been imbued with a constitution that is invulnerable to all diseases, you will definitely be infected as long as you are exposed to the rain too much. "

As she talked about her research on zombies, Nia's little face tightened, and she seemed to be confused about the existence of such things.

On the one hand, this thing can be controlled as long as there is a cure for diseases, but on the other hand, this thing has absolute restraint on most professions except monks and paladins.

Even a mage will immediately turn into a zombie if he gets enough rain.

There are naturally people like Carl who rely on their equipment to protect against rain, but rain has another advantage. It will continue to pollute water sources, soil, and most things within the range of rainfall.

As long as it is given enough time, any creature that comes into contact with the surrounding objects will have problems.

"Is it possible to cure it?"

"No, absolutely impossible!"

Nia's decisive answer made Carl even more uncertain about the current situation.

But now it is impossible to break through the blockade of the Lich Queen by sea or air. If a potion that can restrain the green rain can be developed, Carl will be more confident.

Glancing at Carl, Nia said regretfully:

"This is exactly where this thing is dangerous. If you want to treat it, in addition to the healing spell, you can only reverse time."

The spell that changes time also belongs to the category of the school of change. The time mage is actually an alternative school of change mage.

Hearing Nia's evaluation of this thing, Carl couldn't help but ask one more question.

"What is the principle behind this?"

A long string of professional terms related to biology and disease came out of Nia's mouth like a menu. Despite the increase in intelligence from the headband, Carl only remembered the language first and then began to understand.

According to Nia, Green Rain is an alchemical potion that carries a special biochemical virus.

Because it is a "virus", it can be restrained by the disease-removal spell.

But once a certain amount of it accumulates in someone's body, this virus will rapidly multiply in the host at an exponential growth rate, thereby "activating" a kind of undead magic from a genetic perspective with the information carried by the virus, turning the infected into a zombie.

A cell may be able to resist this extremely weak undead spell, but when the effect of this spell spreads in the body at a frequency of hundreds of millions of times, it is difficult for the infected to resist.
