Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor

Chapter 795 - 364: Ghoul Plague_3

The terrifying thing is, this phenomenon appears throughout the entire castle.

Those who catch this disease, whether noble or servant, will gradually descend into madness, biting recklessly at people and animals around them.

And those bitten to death or injured will quickly become those creatures.

Soon this disease spread throughout the city, throwing Shiling City into utter chaos.

Countless civilians all turned into those dreadful creatures.

As for Diana, because she loved studying herbs and needed to gather them in the mountains, she lived outside the city and luckily escaped the calamity.

However, the soldier who delivered her a message wasn’t so lucky, unable to escape the torture of the disease, he also turned into a creature.

Diana knew the severity of the situation, and upon receiving the news, she immediately fled the duchy.

Upon hearing the whole story, Luo De furrowed his brow slightly, "This doesn’t sound like a disease, it sounds more like Undead Magic."

After saying this, Luo De turned to look at Vivian, who nodded in agreement.

"Ghoul plague, the most common undead magic in the necromancer’s handbook."

Vivian responded, "It matches exactly with the symptoms she described."

"This plague is incredibly frightening, capable of turning everyone into ghouls; those bitten or scratched will also become ghouls."

Luo De nodded slightly, looking at Diana, and asked, "Does your Shiling Duchy have any relation with the Magic and Death Church?"

"No, we have never heard of this church."

Diana said, "We only have one church there, the Church of Healing and Eternal Life."

"They would freely heal sick and injured citizens, distribute holy water, and freely provide cemeteries, helping with the burial of the deceased."

In this world, all land belongs to the lord, and naturally, burying deceased family members requires payment to the lord for using the land.

"It sounds like this Church of Healing and Eternal Life is pretty good, however..."

Luo De once again glanced at Vivian, asking, "Does it sound like it’s related to undead magic?"

"Yes."

Vivian replied without hesitation, "The materials for the ghoul plague are complex, needing a large number of corpses and to be cultivated in an array filled with rot and undead energy,"

"and then implanted into living human bodies to cultivate."

"This process is very complex; the living humans need to drink undead liquid every week to provide energy for the plague, and they cannot stop."

Vivian glanced at Diana and continued, "It sounds basically consistent with what the Princess of Shiling said."

The cemetery as the base for ghoul plague materials, concealing rot and undead energy, and holy water is very likely the undead liquid.

"Have you and your soldiers all drunk holy water?"

Luo De’s gaze swept over Diana and her people.

"Never, I dislike that stuff."

Diana shook her head, "I don’t believe in eternal life, and people say that stuff tastes awful."

Knight Dos and the soldiers also shook their heads.

"Looks like your father and siblings still want eternal life."

Luo De now understood.

The Church of Healing and Eternal Life should actually be the Magic and Death Church.

Magic in this era is elusive, and death is an even more frightening thing.

So, for the Magic and Death Church to spread, they must change their name.

Healing and eternal life, are what everyone desires most.

Luo De suddenly thought of something and asked, "What’s the situation in the surrounding countries of your Shiling Duchy, do the people there believe in the Church of Healing and Eternal Life?"

Diana shook her head.

"I am just a bastard, being able to leisurely accompany my flowers and plants is already great; I’ve never paid attention to the matters you spoke of."

Diana has a clear understanding of herself, so she never explores matters beyond herbology.

Diana also doesn’t care about these things.

Just never expected things to suddenly turn out this way.

"The Church of Healing and Eternal Life has believers in the neighboring Duchy of Fengge and Kingdom of Lvyen."

Dos spoke, "Do you mean that those places might also get infected by the ghoul plague?"

"Releasing such a terrifying plague, the Church of Healing and Eternal Life would become everyone’s enemy."

Luo De said, "Once they start, they won’t target just one place; other duchies and kingdoms might also be attacked."

This kind of ghoul plague is devastating, even the Holy Council wouldn’t allow it.

Thinking of this, Luo De looked at Dos, "By the way, do you not have any other churches there?"

"Such as the Dawn Church, haven’t they interfered with this matter?"
