Compared with this continent, the civilization that grows on it is really too fragile.

The fourth-level wandering mage who had already left the Magic Association - Will Wooster looked at the berry that was gradually becoming crystal clear in his hand, and suddenly thought to himself for no reason.

More than ten years ago, several towns in the southern part of the Griffin Empire broke out with a plague that spread rapidly. People infected with the plague not only died at a very high rate, but also died at a very fast rate.

Will remembers that those infected with the plague are like the red berries in front of them. The skin on the body will gradually become a translucent state, and then this state will continue to spread to the inside, muscles, internal organs, bones, no One exception. All organs in a translucent state lose their original function until the infected person dies.

But the translucency caused by the plague is not as crystal clear as the berry in front of me, but like blisters and swollen, disgusting, like those stranded, half-rotten jellyfish on the beach.

The change process of all infected people is the same. No matter whether the infected person was healthy, strong or old and weak before, they will face the test of death at the same time on the fifth day.

It is worth mentioning that none of the infected will die on the sixth day. So people also gave this plague a strange name - "one-handed". Because with one hand, you can only count to five.

Of course, if you can see the sunshine on the sixth day, then congratulations, you have survived. There is a saying in the proverb - 'Whoever survives the catastrophe will find a four-leaf clover'.

It doesn't matter whether you can find a four-leaf clover, at least you meet the previous sentence - you survived the catastrophe.

"Moglock doesn't want the inedible fruit." Mage Will saw that the ogre left the berry on the ground, and stepped on it fiercely. It seemed that this kind of beautiful berry made it very angry.

"Although it can't be eaten, it's not bad to keep it as a souvenir." Estelle seemed to be satisfied with this berry, groping it carefully in his hand, and said softly, "At least it's like a gem... .."

"But the 'ruby' shape of this berry doesn't last long," said the Nord. "Once picked, it will rot within a few days, even in a box with 'loot preservation' magic. If not, the adventurers in the Bay of Pigs will definitely list them as collection targets, plus a little eloquence and deceit, believe me, a silver coin will also be bought by many people, that will It's going to be a lot of money."

Mage Will was taken aback by the Nord's words, "How many days can it last?" He asked subconsciously, "I mean, will these berries rot in a few days?"

The Nord stretched out his left hand, the palm stretched out, and five rough fingers stood up, "5 days." The Nord spat out a number.

This answer made Will Worcester's tenacious spirit tremble.

He looked around the crowd and found that the others didn't notice this. Yes, they don't know. Very few people survived the plague, and at that time, the Magic Association and the Griffin Kingdom joined forces to block off those towns infected with the plague. Outsiders only knew that there was a plague outbreak, but did not understand its specific form.

No, he must have thought too much. Will Wooster forced himself to calm down. This is not difficult to achieve, after all, he is a mage specializing in Enchantment and Control, and he also has some research on the psychological activities expressed by facial expressions and body movements.

It should be a coincidence. Mage Will thinks like this, just an ordinary fruit can't explain anything. Even if it wasn't a coincidence, his colleagues living in the Sky City should have already dealt with the matter.

He believed them very much.

"I think we should continue chasing the bug, shouldn't we?" Will said to the Nords with a smile, "A good hunter won't let the prey slip through his fingers."

"As you wish." The Nord nodded, led everyone back to the mission, and continued to chase the frost worm along the trail.

Master Will sighed in his heart. He really didn't want to know these so-called secret things. Although he likes to peep into people's hearts and guess their psychological activities from other people's expressions, but he doesn't want to know those unknown secrets, no, it should be said that they cannot be known.

This is also the main reason why he withdrew from the Magic Association.

Although Mage Will has just climbed to the threshold of the middle-level mage at the age of more than 200 - the fourth level, it is indeed "a little" a little slow, but as long as he wants, he can still make great achievements in the association.

Because the middle-level mages of the fourth to sixth levels are the main force of the Magic Association on the mainland, those high-level mages of the seventh to ninth levels, or the legendary mages who have broken through the ninth level are mostly active in various planes of the multiverse. Rarely returns to the material world.

However, Mage Will didn't want to do that. There are too many secrets in the association. After he rose to the middle level, he only touched a little bit, which made him feel uneasy and at a loss.

The more contact he has, the more he feels that the world is so dangerous and that all civilizations are so fragile. This continent once had goblin technology and elf art, but they all perished; so did the magical empires that were so powerful that the entire multiverse and even the gods trembled.

If we go further, in the ancient period of 100,000 years ago, it seems that the dwarves were once brilliant, and they also held the **** banner of 'mainland master'. Now there are many caves in the underground world that are as big as towns, and Most of the spacious and tall tunnels were left over from that time.

There are too many obscure and unexplainable events in the demise and replacement of civilization.

But none of this, Will Worcester wants to know. Although the curiosity of the mages is great, the secrets of this level still make the mages unbearable. He could guess, but he didn't want to know the answer, not at all.

Like the 'one-handed' plague, an insider can see at a glance that it cannot be a natural plague like the plague and flu, but Mage Will really doesn't want to know the ins and outs of it. Because in this matter, it seems that the profession of mage is the most suspicious.

If it was the Master who did it, who would it be? Master Will guessed irresponsibly in his mind.

'Arcane Truth Society'? No, it can't be this organization. Although the mages in there are a bit extreme, they just want to recreate the glory of the Magic Empire, and they are unlikely to do such a large-scale mutilation of ordinary people.

'Magic Tides'? It is also unlikely. This is a rather loose organization of mages. It is a small society organized by some mages who are used to being free and loose and do not want to be bound by the Magic Association, but want to communicate with each other. It is not so much a mage organization as it is a trading platform.

'The Council of Ten of Secret Law'? Even more impossible, I heard that there are only ten people in this organization, and they are all high-level mages, but the goal of the organization is to study how magic can be better applied to ordinary people, so it should not be able to do such a thing.

......

Mage Will went through all the known Mage organizations in his mind, but found no suspicious targets. Yes, there is no evil mage organization that really reaches the level of madness~www.readwn.com~ Because the magic association will not allow such an organization to have a living space.

Although the association could not reach the point where the empire could follow its own words, but as an organization that covered more than 90% of the number of mages of human beings, mastered the powerful legacy left by the empire, and possessed the most massive resources in the multiverse, the Magic Association power is undeniable.

However, it is unavoidable that some outrageous and over-the-line behaviors of individual mages are inevitable.

Mage Will heard that in the past two years, there was a mage called 'Indall the Silent' who was good at undead magic and caused a disaster of undead in the Nord Kingdom, causing thousands of casualties. But in the end, the mage named Indal the Silent was also dealt with by the association, and the association also compensated the Nord Kingdom for a considerable amount of money.

The more powerful a person is, the more they don't want to be bound, and when he "imagines", the more terrifying the damage will be.

Master Will hopes that he thinks too much, yes, he thinks too much! And those evil guys in the bottomless abyss, they must have done it!

Thinking of this, I can't help but make old Will feel a lot more comfortable, and **** the bottomless abyss of ******! He cursed in his heart. Although Mage Will always looks like a loyal elder to the outside world, as a wandering Mage, his years of adventure have made him contaminated with the habits of many adventurers, but he just doesn't show it.

Mage Will just scolded the bottomless abyss in his heart when he found that the Nords who were leading the way suddenly stopped. The Nord turned his head sideways and put a finger to his mouth, as if to signal everyone to be quiet.

When Mage Will was a little confused, he heard the Nord say in a very soft voice, "Hey, I think we've caught up with it!"
