The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 262 Monster? Unidentified

Night time to rest.

Abes did not fall into a very deep sleep.

On the one hand, Alvin had told him that sometimes at night the missing people might reappear and attack the city walls.

This made Abes want to pay more attention, wanting to see if he would have a chance to encounter those missing persons who had been transformed and could use magic at night.

On the other hand, because he had just offended Aunt Vanna, who was some unknown monster, Abes needed to be on guard against sudden changes in the situation.

So far, it seems that the patients are simply vomiting up magical bugs that don't crawl far before dissipating.

But what if vomiting suddenly turns into a symptom of something worse at night?

What should we do if those so-called safe and healthy people who are isolated, and those who are asymptomatic but suspected, suddenly start to show symptoms in large numbers?

But, on such a night, Abes heard the surprised voice of Kronos.

"Has it been successful?"

Abes had not expected that communication technology could be improved in such a short period of time.

"Not really." Bing Nagi's voice squeezed in from beside Kronos' voice.

After a round of communication, Abes realized that he was too confident in his understanding.

What Kronos created was not a telephone, a mobile phone or a walkie-talkie that could be carried by individual soldiers at any time and anywhere for communication, but rather a device similar in size to a radio station.

Not only is the main device a little larger, but its operating principle also relies on the process of sending and receiving like a radio.

After all, this thing should be regarded as a particle generator for communication, an imaginary number converter for short message, and a self-entanglement synchronization terminal for ritual spells.

But the situation is a little different on the same radio station.

For example, although the main device is slightly too large to be easily carried by a single soldier, Abes can receive and reply to messages with just one receiver.

Of course, the rest of the soldiers can also receive similar equipment.

It’s like a radio station is a little bigger, but countless pairs of headphones can be connected to it.

This is the kind of advanced technology that the old radio technology couldn't achieve.

Not only is it impossible with old radio technology, I've never heard of current Bluetooth headsets having unlimited communication distance.

Even though these "earphones" can only passively reply once they receive a message, this is already much more economical than those spells.

Just now, Abes and Kronos had a chat about technology from the capital to Carterburg.

Just these brief conversations, which definitely cannot be considered as long phone conversations, if they were sent continuously via text messaging, only four or five times would be enough to drain the life out of a great wizard like old Winston or Hibiki.

And now, as long as Kronos continues to ask questions, Abes can continue to respond.

The order of magnitude of magic crystals consumed is also at the level of energy consumption for magic.

"I've seen too many of these incredible things..." Bing Nagi sighed.

Then, she also asked, "Do we need to integrate these things into the magic arm armor as soon as possible?"

"It is necessary, but it should not be integrated into the magic arm armor," Abes' voice came from the prototype of the "radio". "From the perspective of human-computer interaction, perhaps we should prepare to manufacture a batch of magic helmets."

After discussing the future construction of the capital's army and the steady progress of recruiting, training and reclaiming the fertile land in the south after Abes left, Abes also mentioned his own difficulties.

Faced with the bug-vomiting "plague", Abbes needs Matthew's help;

As for Aunt Vanna's matter, for some reason, Abes had not found a corresponding case in his knowledge, so he wanted to seek help from Kronos, who was like an encyclopedia, and the knowledgeable Frost Sage.

After agreeing to gather everyone together the next day to discuss the matter, Abes asked Kronos and Hyotogi to go to bed early.

----------

However, after finding foreign aid, the effect it can have is very limited.

Matthew is naturally Abes's greatest reliance in dealing with the worm vomiting. However, remote diagnosis is really difficult for doctors. Relying solely on verbal descriptions, it is impossible to conduct actual observations, nor is it possible to cast one or two diagnostic spells. The difficulty is probably not much lower than Sun Wukong's pulse diagnosis by hanging silk in Zhuzi Kingdom.

After giving some conservative treatment suggestions that would not cause more serious consequences in any case, Matthew also gave a prescription based on his previous experience in trading herbs in the small kingdom of Womuza.

"These are the herbs and magical plants that should be available near Carterburg. The preparation process does not require the participation of magic power. It should be a recommended prescription that ordinary people can perfectly make... No, it's a little more troublesome. I'm afraid we still need to ensure the supply of nutrition."

After all, worm vomit is not rootless water. Its birth consumes the patient's life energy.

However, if we want to prescribe the right medicine more specifically, we need some bolder medications and treatments.

Therefore, Matthew also needs to know some more useful information.

Just like when performing surgery on a griffin, one needs to know that the spell is an acid spell, so that alkaline drugs can be prepared; one needs to know that it is an improved version of the acid spell that spreads through the magic network, so one will seek the manticore venom that can destroy the magic network and the mithril scalpel that absorbs the venom...

So, the final question actually became - "Lord Abes, are you saying that this curse was caused by a cheap healing potion made by Aunt Wanna, who is an unknown person or monster? So what do you know about this Aunt Wanna?"

"That's exactly the problem..." Abe's puzzled voice came from the "radio".

When it comes to monster knowledge, Abes knows a lot.

Not to mention, as a veteran player, I have already reached a clear understanding of the attributes and characteristics of various monsters in the real world.

After coming to this world, although it has been confirmed that this world is not a fake game world, my collecting addiction and curiosity have only increased.

When he was in the royal capital, he relied on the king's collection of books and eagerly absorbed knowledge about monsters.

But the result is that there are absolutely no corresponding features.

"I recognized her servants right away, the red-hatted ones disguised as goats in the illusion...but I just don't know what kind of monster Aunt Vanna is."

the appearance of an old woman;

She seemed to care a lot about her social life in the urban town. Not only did she give out porridge to maintain her reputation in Carterburg, she also made people like Bai Renqiu, who were looking for information about their enemies, come to her teahouse to seek help.

Weird magic, weird nest effects.

The answer seemed to be on the tip of his tongue, but every time Abes was about to blurt it out, he would forget his answer.

Therefore, he turned to external help and to everyone in the royal capital, hoping to get some guidance.

----------

"What's there to not know? This is just gu..."

On the radio station, Bing Nagi, who was speaking halfway, suddenly stopped talking.

The pause was so sudden that it seemed deliberate to others.

However, no one showed any concern at all.

Finally, Bing Nagi shook her head violently, "I don't know either."

Looking at the performance of the Frost Sage in front of him and listening to Abes' description again, Kronos wanted to speak several times, but in the end he made mistakes in answering because he suddenly forgot the words to write and the topic to talk about.

Of course, for some reason, Kronos subconsciously ignored the strange situation that he could not give an answer.

Ignore, ignore, then the conclusion is naturally that the discussion is fruitless.

As the sky gradually brightened, the conversation came to an end.

"It seems that the monster's true identity is unknown... Well, it doesn't have much of an impact." Abes' voice came over, and he didn't seem frustrated at all because the discussion couldn't produce a conclusion. Instead, he had an inexplicably cheerful mood.

"That's it for now. I'm going to promote the conservative treatment methods and prescriptions that Matthew told me about. They can cure the soldiers and griffins in the capital. This time, you will definitely be able to help me solve the problem in Carterburg."

"I hope so..." Matthew was still hesitant. Even though Abes was praising him, he still said some ambiguous words.

However, Matthew's eyes once again captured some key points.

"So... should we agree to contact each other in the evening? During this time, we can look for relevant information ourselves."

Originally, Matthew, who had no knowledge of monsters, did not participate in the entire discussion.

However, just as the conversation was about to end, he was the one who brought up the idea of ​​getting in touch again.

Although it is unclear what kind of monster it is, Lord Abes, Kronos, and Hyogi have no idea.

But Matthew was very sure that this bland ending tone was not the emotional expression these three people should have when they encountered a monster that might have never been recorded by previous people.

He clearly noticed that when the topic came to an end, none of the three people had the mood to continue their research.

This is not normal!

So, when the doubts and uneasiness in his heart grew, Matthew took the initiative to step forward and started the topic of looking for clues.

----------

In the afternoon.

After Kronos finished the tasks at hand and further optimized and upgraded the prototype of the radio, he remembered Matthew's suggestion.

Looking for relevant clues yourself?

She is very busy. Besides, even if she doesn't know the situation of the monsters, does that mean Lord Abes will fail?

will win.

Only eventually, after Matthew came and knocked on her lab door, did she finally stand up.

"I'm just taking a look, don't drag me on any longer..."

The pharmacist and the chief physician, who were wrapped in the scent of herbs, shook their heads vigorously. "It's not just a look. It's obvious that Master Kronos is the kind of person who would go through fire and water for Master Abes..."

But not everyone can, as an ignorant country girl, develop completely new rune knowledge without any formal magical education.

But now that Lord Abes needs information about monsters, he still has no motivation to look for it, which is abnormal.

And finally, the silver-haired girl arrived at the library of the palace.

Important knowledge may not be in the king’s collection of books, but there must be important knowledge in the king’s collection of books.

Kronos directly opened a thick set of "Monster Encyclopedia" - in the king's collection of books, this kind of summary encyclopedia is particularly abundant. However, after checking the main catalog and the sub-volume catalog, Kronos found that the key chapter on shapeshifting monsters had been borrowed by someone.

The manager told her that just a few minutes ago, an apprentice had borrowed this chapter of the book.

After the Mage Tower was destroyed, the mages and apprentices rescued by Lord Abes all lived and studied in the palace.

And they have indeed become important talents in the magic industry and rune system as Abes said.

It was she herself who encouraged them to study boldly. In this regard, Kronos could only put down the books helplessly and look for other materials.

…………

On the other side, Hiiragi was also searching for books and materials in the royal capital.

But she chose another path.

As the Archmage of the Mage Tower, she naturally knew that although the royal library had good things, the real information was under the management of old Winston.

Finally, as the floating island was cut in half by Lord Abes, the information was scattered outside the city.

However, with such a huge and important floating island crashing, it is impossible for the royal capital not to recover and rescue the data, materials, wealth and treasures.

The tent erected outside the east gate of the royal capital is the workplace for employees carrying out recycling and rescue work.

There are a lot of good things piled up there.

One of these is books.

"Master Hiinagi, are you here to inspect our recovery and rescue work?"

"Well, I guess so."

After entering the big tent, Bing Nagi went straight to the pile of books.

Soon, she found a book called "Magical Creatures and Witchcraft".

The book described in detail the characteristics and abilities of many monsters, but when he turned to the chapter about illusions and nest effects, he found that the printing of this page was obviously wrong, the handwriting was blurred and completely unreadable.

After looking around, Hiiragi took out another book, "Mysterious Monsters and Legends", but when she opened the book, she found that most of the pages were stained by coffee and the handwriting was unrecognizable.

Unwilling to give up, Bing Nagi continued searching and finally found the book "Witchcraft and Weird Creatures" in a corner. After flipping through it roughly, Bing Nagi also saw some key words that were very consistent with Abes's description - waxy corpse, weird squeaking laughter?

This was all part of the vision that Abe had described that he had seen in the Shirai Teahouse.

However, when Bing Nagi opened the book with hope, she found that the page had been torn off, leaving only half a page of useless content.

Everything, everything...seems to be blocking the birth of the answer.
