With his extremely weak body, it was extremely difficult to even lift a finger. Jerome tried hard to open his heavy eyelids, and a glimmer of light entered his sight.
Everything in front of me was blurry, and I could only distinguish the rough outlines of surrounding things.
Jerome noticed someone walking by. The person was wearing a white robe. He couldn't see his true appearance, and he couldn't even tell his gender.
"I……"
Opening his mouth, Jerome found that his throat was on fire and his voice was hoarse like sandpaper being rubbed.
Someone noticed his behavior and ran out of the room screaming.
Jerome took a deep breath and tried to sit up, but all he got was pain all over his body and restraints in his hands and feet.
"Damn it." Jerome moved his hands and feet, and was frustrated to find that his limbs were tightly tied to the stone bed with iron hoops. There was a needle inserted in his right hand, connected to a dripping glass bottle. His left hand, which could use the power of disintegration,
It was tightly shut in a metal box, and I didn't know what the material of the box was. Not only could the outer shell not be decomposed, I couldn't even move my fingers.
A young man dressed in linen quickly walked to the bed. Seeing Jerome regaining consciousness, he said with a smile: "You have slept for four days and four nights. It is normal to feel weak now."
Jerome shook his left hand, looked at the needle on the back of his right hand, and turned his questioning gaze to the person in front of him.
The boy took the cardboard from someone else's hand and said while checking the record: "The superpower in your left hand is very dangerous, we have isolated it; as for the needle in your right hand, don't worry, it is what you need to survive these days.
potion."
"Okay...stranger, where am I?"
"My name is Todd Fisher, the general leader of the Muxi Knights. The place you are currently in is the underground of Muxi Town."
"Are you Todd? The rumored Holy Son?!"
Jerome tried hard to turn sideways, but when he saw his naked upper body, he suddenly gave up struggling and lay down on the stone bed: "When do you plan to take action?"
Todd looked at him in surprise: "Do it?"
"You should know my identity? You should also know why I came to Muxi Town? Don't you plan to eliminate me as a threat?"
"I really don't understand, if you have such an idea, why would you go to the border of Muxi Town?" Todd looked at the loneliness and hopelessness on Jerome's face and did not choose to continue on this topic.
: "We will not execute you because your body is of great value."
"value?"
"I personally checked your left arm and found that you had received the Sutherland inheritance, but you also had the inheritance mutation, but the mutation in your body did not spread."
"That's right." Perhaps with a laissez-faire mentality, Jerome talked about his past: "I was once a mutant and was captured into the Presbyterian Church. Before I came into contact with Sutherland's relics, I
I was told that only one out of ten people would survive. The truth is, the goddess of fate made a joke with me. Although I won the first prize and became the heir, my left arm had mutated."
Todd found a chair and sat down, quietly listening to the other party's statement.
"The Presbyterian Council then asked me to inhale more Sutherland relics, hoping to suppress the mutation. But the mutation spread along my left arm to the left half of my body. At the most serious point, half of my head mutated into a monster's.
I gradually lost my mind and started attacking everything around me. Until a person saved me..."
Todd remembered the secrets Rachel had told him before and asked, "Theodore saved you?"
Jerome glanced at the other person and nodded: "Yes, the master injected some strange black liquid into my body. My mutation gradually stopped and my body began to recover. Only my left arm remained the same.
There is no way to recover.”
"If I asked you, what exactly is that black liquid? You wouldn't be able to tell me, right?"
"Yes, but actually, I don't know what it is."
Todd sat on the chair, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have two questions. First, you have recovered from the mutation. Didn't the other members of the Presbyterian Church become suspicious? Second, now that Theodore has been found
A way to stop alienation, so why didn't he apply this method to the successors of the Presbyterian Church?"
"Theodore's cure for me was very secret. Not many people knew about it. Those in the Presbyterian Church only regarded my recovery as a miracle. As for why the master did not make this technology public, his original words
If you hand over such a thing, you will only save a few unlucky people.
In the end, it will only satisfy the desires of the ambitious. He hopes to use this technology to create a weapon, a weapon that is enough to deter all forces, and use coercive threat capabilities to eliminate alien wars. Unexpectedly, he finally chooses
I took you as my savior and lost my life because of it..."
Todd sighed: "I heard about Theodore. It's a tragedy. If I could persuade him earlier or accept him as soon as possible, maybe everything wouldn't have happened..."
After Todd finished speaking, his mind began to think quickly. In the past, he had always been curious that the undead successors were also a type of successors. These corpses retained basic physiological symptoms. Even if they ingested more heterogeneous microorganisms,
But no changes will occur, which is really a very strange thing.
But now, through what happened with the Necromancer and Jerome, he had caught a thread in these mysteries.
Theodore should have found some kind of substance, a substance that can activate or even upgrade Sutherland bacteria. Through the reactivation of the nervous system, the spliced corpse can be reshaped into a complete creature; Sutherland can also be adjusted and enhanced.
The effect of blue bacteria suppresses the progression of mutation.
Right now, Todd is left with several very important questions.
1. What exactly is this substance?
Second, how does this substance work?
Third, the most important thing is, how to use and deal with this substance?
Todd looked at Jerome on the stone platform and asked doubtfully: "I'm curious about one thing. I am the head of the church, and you are a member of the Legion of Disputes. I can't see any hostility in your eyes. You
The cooperative attitude surprised me..."
The latter glanced at Todd in confusion: "Lord Theodore once said something to me."
Todd looked at the man, waiting for his next words.
"He told me that compared to the violence and cruelty of the Presbyterian Church, I found a better place to protect the dignity and lives of the aliens..." Jerome glanced at Todd hesitantly: "But, you
After all, he is a knight leader who is loyal to the church..."
Todd walked towards the exit of the room, smiled and said to Jerome: "It won't be the case soon. At this time the day after tomorrow, the general leader in front of you will be the king of the Muxi Knights Kingdom."
