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."
"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.
