Chapter 239: Deadline. (2/2)
“Very well then, but this could take a while”
“Mary, prepare some tea and some snacks!”
“As you wish my Lord”
Roland sat hi the tea There was a cart with everything required for tea brewing on the side The kettle could be activated byrune Thus while his beverage was beingsome facts of it to hione on a guild mission towards Reeka Besides a few bandits and monsters on the way, it was e…”
He continued to tell his story while twisting so hilory onto the golden order member that helped them defeat the abomination that was created from the cultist's suicide Roland focused more on the brain parasites and how the city had been infected instead of how he ed to survive, at the end Arthur was left speechless and with quite a frown
“A ical artifact that puts people under an illusion and monster possession…”
“My Lord…”
Arthur mumbled to himself while Mary was visibly shaken He didn’t blame the two, they were just informed that anyone in this city could be infected and turned into a strange tentacle monster
“I’m fine Mary, I just didn’t think it was this dire of a situation, can these… Abyssal Larvae, only be removed by Solarian church clerics?”
“The creature has an adverse reaction to divine spells, I think priests froht be another method…”
“This method is?”
“Do you perhaps knohat an empyrean crystal is?”
“The ones produced by the priests?”
“The sa to realize what Roland was proposing
“Yes, those crystals are used to create divinesuch a weapon do us any good? The cost themselves would be quite fierce…”
“I do not intend toof so more compact, this devices purpose would not be to reh if we leave that to the clerics”
“Then ould it be good for?”
“It would help us to detect the creatures, I have observed a change in the host of these parasites If they are exposed to even light divine mana they will be affected by noticeable symptoms My proposition is simple, we place this device at several checkpoints in the city and have the citizens be exposed to this ns of corruption will then be taken to the church for proper treatment”
“Hm, that could work…”
This was Roland’s sales pitch for the crisis at hand If he gained access to so with soical apparatus of this kind This would also aid hi proper divine runes and perhaps allow hiy
“How long do you need Mr Wayland?”
“I’et the correct materials then I will need to make a schematic, I also require some divine weapon or armor piece for examination… ”
“Could you ht be a little…”
Before Roland could continue Arthur raised his hand to stop hi to all of it and quickly turned to Mary
“Mary, take Mr Wayland to our storage, I think we should have a few of those e with a divine rune? There should be a few of those in our auction house as well, isn’t that right Mary?”
“You are correct,that he needs”
“Great, I will be expecting good news from you Mr Wayland If you require aid from the Church for your research, please contact Mary, she will help organize things”
“I, uh… My Lord? I’m not sure that I can make it in a we…”
“Time is of the essence Mr Wayland I will do my part and prepare these checkpoints and also contact the local Church I’ soon and we must preserve the piece Now then, we all have a lot of work to do!”
It was of utrim picture to the public, at least not yet If they had a solution for the proble questions, then they would have one less battle to fight If the city became chaotic it would affect all of its bottom lines People that were backed into a corner didn’tArthur clearly wanted to avoid
‘This bastard…’
Roland was forced to go outside and tag behind Mary that was rushi+ng him back to the auction house While it was his idea to create the divine energy devices he didn’t expect the lord to have all of the materials ready He had planned to create it within aarts
While he wanted to help the people from the city out, his plan was driven by his own hoy devices They would probably protect hiainst proper members of the cult
“Here we are Mr Wayland, please pick out the items that you need!”
Soon they found thee facility under the auction house There he saw various objects that had not yet been auctioned off
‘I won’t be sleeping much for this entire week, will I?’
He wanted to curse but in reality, the situation required his expertise The world around hierous and the sooner he built the countermeasures, the faster he would be able to relax
