Chapter 269: The Territory (End of this Book)
"Is this the plague brought by the ... 'Old King'?"
The earth that was torn apart because it could not bear the weight of the Old King has 'healed itself' though.
However, a kind of 'Doomsday Plague' has spread through the Gaien Forest.
With [Giant-Footprint, the footprints left by the ghoul king's paws] as the origin of the plague, it has infested and contaminated the entire forest.
The plague has ford an "overlapping space" in the area covered by the footprint, and the plague inside has even beco self-aware, forming a kind of plague progenitor.
The plague needs to be eradicated from the area by going deep inside and killing the plague agent.
There are thirty-nine 'giant footprints' in the whole of the Forest of Gaien.
The Holy City has dispatched the 'Knights of the Plague', who are the best at dealing with such incidents.
It was requested that the plague be cleared from its original location within ten days and that the Knights of Purity be sent to assist in dispersing the contamination once the plague has been eradicated, by applying a wide range of sacred essence to the area in question.
Han Dong, who was riding in the Chariot of the Raven Bearer, naturally saw the 'heavily ard' Knights of the Plague.
The knights were all dressed in strange 'anti-poison clothing', with anti-poison masks and dark-colored robes inlaid with different shoulder ornants, depending on their personal preferences.
Even the horses under them wear a kind of gas mask on their faces.
The surface of the horses' bodies has also been artificially modified with many external hoses, which seem to act as an aid to the transfer of substances in the body ... enabling the horses to gallop through the plagued land without being affected.
There was a real sense of 'doom and gloom' as such a force marched through the forest.
"Won't you need to assist the Order with the plague disaster, sir?"
"A plague disaster of this magnitude can only barely rank tenth since the founding of the Holy City ... This old king did not initiate the plague but rely left it behind unintentionally as he chased you.
With the Great Plague Chief leading the way, the entire plague in the Forest of Gaien could be cleared within a week."
"Hmm ..."
Han Dong was very shocked to hear such a statent.
It seed that in the early days of establishing the Holy City, humanity had suffered from unimaginable horrific invasions and apocalyptic plagues.
The carriage sped on.
Han Dong carefully observed the situation inside the forest.
The cracks in the earth had healed, leaving only a scar-like stripe on the surface of the land.
In addition, the trees contaminated by the plague were also surviving by slowly removing the plague that had invaded the inside of their trunks as much as possible through their own "Miniature-suckers".
"Strange. ... Why does it feel like the land and forest itself has a strong self-healing ability? It resists the foreign plague to the greatest extent possible, although it can only do so much to delay death."
Mr. Black and White explained simply, "Yes, the world dominated by the 'Old King' has changed ... Even forests, mountains, and rivers that are not governed by a 'land deed' have a certain ability to regenerate.
If the damage is within their tolerance, the land will repair itself.
Otherwise, if it were still the world of two hundred years ago, it's simply unable to withstand the various 'higher' existences ... creatures evolve, and the world must evolve with them."
"So that's how it is."
Listening to Mr. Black and White's explanation, Han Dong beca more interested in this world.
"Then, wouldn't an area with a 'land deed' managent have stronger self-healing properties?"
As the carriage drove out of the forest.
What was reflected in Han Dong's eyes was surprisingly an intact 'Stuart's Great Manor'.
The wheat fields, the town, the cetery, and the old castle were all restored as if nothing had ever happened here.
Of course.
Self-restoration is limited to the basics of earth, wood, stone, and water.
Dr. Swell's factory would not be restored.
When Han Dong took a step down into the land, he had the feeling that the whole area was one with himself, able to always monitor every inch of the land in detail.
Almost at the sa ti.
Dr. Swell, riding one of his favorite tin ghoul mounts, ca to the surface by the nearest underground passage and rushed to Han Dong's presence.
"Lord ssenger!!!"
As Dr. Swell knelt, he glanced rather scornfully at the Raven carriage on the side.
"Doctor, don't worry ... this is my ntor in the Holy City - Mr. Black and White. Without the help of Sir, I am afraid my identity would have been revealed."
"Greetings, ntor of the ssenger!!!"
Mr. Black and White stepped off the carriage as he did.
A thick juice-like sweat continued to spill out from the orifices of the Doctor's large head.
The Doctor, who was stronger in perception than an Inhuman of his rank due to his extraordinary brainpower, could intuitively sense Mr. Black and White's power.
One wave of his hand would be enough to bring his head to the ground.
"Lord ssenger, how are you considering the 'defense issue' I ntioned to you last ti?
Apart from , all the family officers are dead, and the [Mother] was taken away by the forr king.
We need to fill the manor with people strong enough to guard it as soon as possible and the residents ... are afraid that I alone will not be able to guard this area."
As the Doctor had just finished asking this question.
Rattling!
Many crows cawing ca from the forest area.
