The Death Apostle lowered his head and respectfully replied.
This answer indeed surprised Rhode.
Sick?
What kind of disease could make the Death Apostle choose to kill all the civilians in this village?
"What disease did they get?"
"A strange plague. All those infected will turn into mindless madmen within three days."
"These madmen will attack ordinary people. Once they are scratched or bitten, they will be infected."
"In just three days, three villages have been infected by this plague, and nearly a thousand people have died."
"The people in this village have also been infected by this plague. Rather than letting them become mindless madmen, it's better to make use of their waste."
Listening to the Death Apostle's reply, Rhode couldn't help but take a breath.
This is just like a zombie virus, isn't it?
However, Rhode quickly reacted.
Such a large-scale spread of the plague is clearly abnormal.
Because even if it is a real plague,
it is impossible to spread without any warning.
It must require some kind of medium to spread.
For example, the Black Death, which made Europe change color in history,
not only swept across Europe but also took the lives of 25 million Europeans, accounting for 1/3 of the total European population at that time.
And the medium for the spread of the Black Death was rats.
Even if the plague really spreads, it is impossible for the entire village to be infected with this plague at the same time.
Instead, it requires a gradual process.
The fact that people in a village can be infected at the same time in a short period of time is clearly someone manipulating behind the scenes.
"Water source."
Rhode muttered softly. The villagers of a village can be infected with the plague at the same time.
Unless there is a problem with the water source.
In small villages like this, there is usually only one water source in the village.
If someone poisons the water source, it is possible for the entire village to be infected with the plague.
Thinking of this, Rhode came to the village's water source.
After scooping out a bowl of water, he found the problem.
"Father, is there something wrong with this water?"
Looking at Rhode's solemn expression, the Death Apostle couldn't help but ask curiously.
Although he looked fierce when he controlled the evil spirits to kill before, he was just a blank sheet of paper in terms of his mind.
After all, only a few days have passed from when Rhode created him to now.
Even if he has grown a lot, his mind is still somewhat far from being completely mature.
"It's a plague, but it's not an ordinary plague."
Rhode slowly stood up, his expression serious.
He felt a familiar power in these water sources.
The undead plague is not a pure plague.
It is a special alchemy poison created by combining undead magic and alchemy, and integrating a plague that spreads extremely quickly.
This plague spreads extremely quickly and has an extremely high mortality rate.
In the beginning, it still needs mediums such as water, blood, and contact to spread.
Once it develops to a certain scale, the concentration of the undead plague will increase.
In the end, even the air can be used as a medium for the spread of the plague, just like the undead natural disaster, it cannot be stopped at all.
In the beginning, this undead plague was usually used in wars between countries.
But later, a group of necromancers' research on the undead plague became more and more out of control.
Until an accident, a special mutated undead plague spread.
Causing countless countries to be destroyed.
Although the undead plague was finally cracked and cleared, it also brought indelible harm to human civilization.
Therefore, a long time ago, the dark magic world had been strictly prohibited from any research related to the undead plague.
Once discovered, they would be expelled and hunted down by the wizarding world.
Now, an unprecedented undead plague has appeared here.
Rhode narrowed his eyes, his eyes showing coldness.
This is the undead plague, which is more aggressive than ordinary plagues.
After being infected with an ordinary plague, there is still a chance to survive with one's own immunity.
Although the probability is very small, at least a few out of a hundred people can survive.
However, the only fate of those infected with the undead plague is to become undead war tools...
treating all living things around them as enemies.
The longer the infection time, the greater the damage the plague causes to the body, until the flesh is completely rotten and loses the ability to move.
The mortality rate is as high as 100%.
It can be said that as long as you are infected with the undead plague, the result is certain death.
Once the undead plague spreads on a large scale, let alone villages and towns, even the surrounding kingdoms and even the entire Southern Continent will suffer heavy casualties.
His territory, the Kingdom of Auston, is less than a hundred kilometers away from here.
If this plague spreads, the Kingdom of Auston and his territory will bear the brunt.
At that time, it is estimated that all ordinary people except him will die in this undead plague.
Therefore, he has no way to sit idly by.
What's more, if the undead plague really sweeps the entire Fairytale World, then the Fairytale World would be directly ruined.
This is not good for him in any way.
His goal is to dominate the Fairytale World and become the unique king.
What he wants is a prosperous Southern Continent, not a wasteland with a dead population and devastation everywhere.
Therefore, the guy who spread the undead plague behind the scenes must be caught and killed.
He can't let this troublemaker disrupt all his plans.
"Poisoning the well, that means this guy must be nearby."
Rhode muttered softly.
If it were him, poisoning a village,
he would definitely make sure that all the villagers in the village were infected with the plague before leaving.
Otherwise, if someone finds out that there is a problem with the well, wouldn't the poison be wasted?
It would even expose his identity.
Therefore, the guy who spread the undead plague must be nearby.
In fact, it is very likely that he is hiding in this village.
Thinking of this, Rhode directly instructed the Death Apostle to search the entire village inside and out.
"Yes, Father!"
The Death Apostle bowed slightly.
After turning around, he directly ordered all the evil spirits to search the village.
Hundreds of illusory evil spirits instantly dispersed, carefully searching every corner of the village.
The Death Apostle stood beside Rhode, closed his eyes, and shared the perspective of all the evil spirits.
Whoosh!
The Death Apostle, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at a corner of the village.
"What did you see?"
Rhode raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
"I didn't see anything, but..."
"One of my evil spirit servants suddenly died there."
The Death Apostle pointed in a direction and said strangely.
"There?"
Rhode looked in the direction of the Death Apostle's finger, and a pair of white wings instantly appeared behind him.
With a gentle wave, the whole person was like a beam of white light, instantly disappearing in front of his eyes.
In a moment, Rhode's figure had already appeared in the sky above a corner of the village.
With a sweep of his eyes, a fat figure suddenly came into view.
This guy seemed to know that he had been discovered, and was escaping from the back of the village at this moment.
Whoosh!
Rhode swooped down, approaching the fat figure.
Just as he approached within ten meters of the other party, Rhode smelled a faint stench.
This smell was not only pungent, but also seemed to contain powerful magic.
As Rhode approached, it continued to erode his body and even his spirit.
Moreover, the closer the distance, the stronger the feeling of being eroded.
After only taking two breaths, Rhode felt his mind slightly dizzy.
This strange feeling came and went quickly, and was instantly swallowed by the powerful vitality in his body.
"What a strong toxicity!"
Rhode's eyes were surprised, although it only made him feel slightly uncomfortable, what is his strength?
Drinking a whole bottle of ordinary alchemical poison is just a drink for him.
He was almost poisoned just by getting close.
If it were an ordinary person, it is estimated that they would have died just after approaching within ten meters.
"Run? Where can you run to?"
Looking at the fat but agile figure, Rhode raised his hand and grabbed.
The flat ground shook, and a huge earth-yellow palm slowly condensed, directly grabbing the other party.
Rhode also saw the appearance of this guy.
Nearly two and a half meters tall, with a fat body, like a huge sphere, the body is twisted and swollen, full of disgusting green pustules.
Saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, and the ground was eroded with a trace the moment it landed.
It looks quite disgusting.
