The witch thought I am a Demon God-Chapter 521 - 305

"A unique phenomenon where plague radiation originates and continues to radiate from a person it has taken hold of."

The Hearthstone Witch narrowed her eyes. "Its existence has entirely deprived the ancient civilization of any chance at recovery, turning the remaining Eastern Empire, which has managed to survive to this day, into a barely surviving state."

"However, this plague has appeared four more times, each time bringing devastating disasters across the land."

"The most recent occurrence was two hundred years ago, which led the Church to believe that the plague was spread by witches, triggering the holy cleansing movement." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"According to the diary written by the Astral Witch during her time as a mortal at Hearthstone Castle, she posits that this plague occurs every few hundreds of years and has named it the Black Death."

"In other words, it’s a disease that spreads dark death."

"And she hypothesized that this plague was likely engineered during the Ancient Civilization Period and may have a great connection to the laws of the ancient civilization."

Lord Ivita frowned. "Why would one think that it has a strong correlation to the ancient civilization?"

"Because, this plague has only wreaked havoc in regions that inherited fragments of the laws of the ancient civilization. On the other hand, in the countries across the sea that worship the God of All Beasts, there has hardly been any significant effect." The Hearthstone Witch replied while flipping through her magic book.

"Your majesty, as things stand, it seems that a new outbreak of the Black Death is about to start in the world of pirates. This can be a disaster that sweeps across the world. Ah, it also seems that a solution is mentioned."

The Hearthstone Witch looked at the magic book in surprise. "The Black Death is a deadly plague that can infect and kill even demons. Its existence is essentially on the level of law. But there are two ways to solve it."

"Firstly, someone has killed the one who carried the plague, causing the plague to enter his body, which did indeed delay the outbreak of the plague temporarily."

"Secondly, a true God can exterminate the plague at the early stage of its outbreak. However, once the plague enters the middle or later stages, even the gods are powerless."

The Hearthstone Witch solemnly said to Ivita, "Your majesty, do you think we should halt our plan to attack the Valji family at Giant Port?"

Ivita shook his head. "This is the weakest moment for the Valji family. I cannot let go of this opportunity. I prefer quick battles to quick decisions and divine intervention. Let’s set out early tomorrow morning."

The Hearthstone Witch was startled. "Tomorrow morning?"

"So soon?"

Ivita nodded and said, "Let’s take each step as it comes because I always feel that staying here will cause a lot of trouble. Just think about how much trouble we have encountered during our stay here in recent days."

Ivita looked at Wilson and the Iron Mountain Knight and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

The Iron Mountain Knight knelt on one knee, "I have no objections, my Lord!"

His eyes were sparkling. It is the instinct of knights to follow their lord into conquest. Now that two territories of the Viscounts lay before them, how could he possibly resist?

He was almost sleepless through the night!

Even if it’s a plague!

A knight’s sword can cut through everything ahead!

Vampire Wilson, after some thought, said to Ivita, "My Lord, I have been through the Black Death era. At that time, even the vampires were infected with this virus, dying of spiritual depletion. Only the second generation and above could survive under this plague."

"I have seen the intensity of this plague. Under this plague, vampires’ vitality is only slightly stronger than ordinary people."

"So, I support your decision to set out immediately! Because if we delay it any further, we won’t have any chance at all. Right now, our only hope is that someone will eradicate the source of the virus, cut off this outbreak of the Black Death or that we can get rid of the plague ourselves."

Ivita nodded, believing there must be a way out, and that the first priority should be to secure the land.

Not to mention, now that they know the details of the plague thanks to the Hearthstone Witch, they might be able to kill the source of the plague while it’s still not severe.

As Ivita looked down at the water’s surface, he felt as if he was being summoned by something. He walked to the shore, where the shadow of the Feathered Serpent God swam on the surface of the water. The shadow of the Feathered Serpent God made a roar, as if out of anger and bellowing.

Seeing that dragon silhouette swimming over the water and splitting the shadow of a rat into two, Ivita was slightly taken aback, ’Is the Feathered Serpent God hinting for me to kill the child carrying the plague? Killing it seems to benefit both me and the Feathered Serpent God. It’s as if we’re hunters at sea, chasing our prey.’

’If the plague comes from the ancient civilization, then it may have some connection with the laws of the ancient civilization.’

Wilson and others rushed to the pier. "Lord Ivita, what’s wrong? Are you okay?"

Ivita shook his head, "I’m fine."

"Proceed with the original plan."

...

Early the next morning at the Transfer Port, a three-masted ship and ten two-masted ships set sail.

Previously, Ivita had only caught seven two-masted ships. Who would have expected that the Valji family still had three more medium-sized, two-masted ships docked at the port? This allowed Ivita to form a fleet of eleven ships, and that was a great stroke of luck.

However, because the ghost ship had previously destroyed the ships at the Transfer Port, Ivita was unable to borrow any more ships from the port.
