Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

When nearly three-quarters of the field troops were taken out by Milin to suppress the rebellion, Aila immediately stepped up surveillance of the entire imperial capital.

Seriously, Ella would still do this even without Mirin's prompting.

After all, Milin's port area was able to maintain normal operation despite the fact that the admiral disappeared from time to time and the secretary ship was addicted to drawing books. Ella, as the commander of the military police, was indispensable.

From a certain point of view, it has become natural for Ella to get used to Milin's situation of leading troops to fight while leaving her alone to manage the base in the rear.

Within two days, relying on increased surveillance, Aila noticed some unknown plague in the imperial capital.

At first, Ella didn't think there was anything special about this, because with the living conditions of this era, even if everyone in the imperial capital was a "Roman" who loved bathing, it would be difficult to avoid such a sudden epidemic.

What's more, due to limitations in productivity and production levels, the sanitary environment of most bathhouses in the imperial capital is not up to standard...at least according to the standards of later generations. It is more likely to breed diseases.

But soon, the strangeness of this plague became apparent, because even if Gray Wind personally took action, he could not discover the pathogen causing this disease.

Not even the pathogen can be found in the gray goo storm. It is obviously not an "ordinary disease" such as influenza, typhoid, plague, dysentery, and smallpox.

According to Gray Feng's observation, those citizens who had weak limbs, low-grade fevers, and persistent diarrhea due to the epidemic were only slightly sub-healthy, and their immune systems did not show any signs of "the pathogen and I can only live together." Condition.

Even the bacteria and viruses that come with the body are completely stable and do not deliberately come out to cause trouble.

This made Gray Feng feel very strange.

"Is it a curse?" Alori gave a possibility.

It is true that such a plague-like situation can be caused through curses, and because it is a spiritual power, it is not surprising that Gray Wind cannot find out the cause.

"Can you find out the reason?" Gray Feng asked, who did not deny Alori's guess.

"...It's a bit troublesome, but it's not impossible. You have to give me some time." Alori scratched the back of his head and said.

As mentioned before, as long as the materialistic system is not too far apart, we can at least draw parallels.

For example, if this plague is a normal epidemic, then even if it is something that Ash has never seen before or is not in the database, the disease-causing pathogen can be found through various observations and comparisons.

But the power on the ideal side was almost a thousand miles away. He had no idea what kind of curse the other party used, and even whether it was a curse or not was a guess. Alori could only use a more special method to check.

"And I want you to cooperate with me." Alori seemed to have made up his mind and said as he glanced at Ella and Gray Wind.

"How to cooperate?" Ella picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"I want to set up a sacrificial circle in this city!" Alori said.

"...Pfft, cough cough cough..." Ella, who had not yet drank the wine in her mouth, choked out and said: "What? What are you going to do? What sacrificial circle?"

"It's the kind of sacrificial circle in the literal sense. It's only used by demons. Although I'm not a demon, I'm pretty much there." Alori replied.

Gu Dace

To be precise, Alori's status is higher than that of the Demon God, but since this world is not the world of Nien, there is no problem for Alori to call himself the Demon God.

"What do you want to do?" Ella asked curiously, not understanding what Alori planned to do at all.

Isn't it to check the source of the plague? Why did you start sacrificing the magic circle? What is this? Do you want to dismantle the house to disinfect the whole house?

"Because you can set the quality requirements of the sacrifice, and you can also delineate the scope of the sacrifice. If ordinary people are delineated as the target of the sacrifice, then if there are curses and other spell effects on someone, it will conflict with the sacrifice and be excluded. outer."

Alori shook his head and explained why a sacrificial circle was set up.

"...Oh..." Aila nodded after understanding Alori's explanation. To put it bluntly, this is a screening method of the magic system. That's why it has to be used by the boss who sounds like a villain at first sight. method.

"Because it is easy to arrange and effective, it is most suitable for use by villain bosses. With our current manpower, we can test it one by one. Let's not talk about the efficiency. At least we can definitely alert the snake." Alori said.

"Is it possible to target people with these unknown diseases as sacrifices?" Gray Wind asked Alori after thinking for a while.

"Yes, yes." Alori, who seemed to have expected Gray Wind to ask this question, immediately replied: "But if it is really a curse, there must be more than one, and it should be a hodgepodge."

After finishing speaking, Alori paused for a moment and continued with a showy expression:

"And now we must first determine whether this is a true curse. If we delineate it, we will find that everyone is not excluded~~~"

"Does that mean it's not a curse, but some kind of disease that's so special that even Gray Wind hasn't discovered it?" Ella saw Alori's deliberately showy expression and immediately spoke out the second half of the sentence.

"...It's also possible that all of us have been hit..." Alori said with a solemn expression.

"...???..." Ella was shocked when she saw Alori showing such an expression for the first time. Even Gray Wind showed a strange expression towards Alori.

"For example, this curse is not targeted at individuals, but at regions." The solemn expression only stayed on his face for less than five seconds, and Alori returned to his previous appearance with a smile.

"You can still laugh?" Ella didn't understand why Alori could still smile while telling such a serious problem.

"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Anyway, with the protection of the boss, we are not afraid of these things." Alori shrugged and said: "And using such a secret method to deal with us can only mean that those things are afraid of us. .”

"..." Aila found that what Alori said was very reasonable. If the other party was really powerful, he would not engage in such dirty tricks, and there was no need to do it when Milin was not around. These things.

These actions also exactly reflect the enemy's weakness.

"How long does it take to complete the sacrifice circle you mentioned?" Gray Wind asked Alori.

Although the nominal manager should be Ella when Milin is away, everyone, including Ella herself, knows that Hui Feng is still the real backbone when Milin is away.

"It will take about two or three days if we rely on Ella's engineering team. If Sister Hui Feng does it in person, half a day will be enough." Alori said: "Anyway, I'm drawing things on the ground and leaving some props. No. It will attract attention.”

"Well, let's get started." Gray Feng agreed directly without any hesitation.
