"Theophano?" The fantasy dragon couldn't help but ponder.

"Yes." Medea said, "At least that's what I see in my memory."

"I guess Theofano is just one of the infection's transit points." The Dragon of Imagination said, "Because this queen is just an ordinary person and does not possess any extraordinary power."

"And considering the timeline, a few years ago it was still the low point of the magic tide, and the upper limit of level was only 5." Asker added, "This long-term model of infecting B from A, and then infecting C from B is by no means low-level. Ability can make it happen.”

"But if that's the case..." The Dragon of Fantasy looked at Ask, and Medea's pupils shrank slightly.

A certain feeling of terror gradually rose from the hearts of the three of them.

The last peak of the demon tide was about four hundred years ago. In other words, the layout of the mastermind behind the scenes...

Started hundreds of years ago?

"This is too ridiculous." The Dragon of Utopia directly denied, "Hundreds of years ago... that was during the Carolingian Dynasty! Could it be that at that time, the people behind the scenes could have predicted that there would be an Otto in the Saxon Dynasty hundreds of years later? Emperor, and use your abilities to plan for him?"

"If the layout did not start from the last demonic tide, then is there a way to overcome the restrictions of the demonic tide and freely display abilities?" Medea tried to reverse her thinking.

"If there is such a method, the person behind the scenes does not need to adopt such a secret method at all." The Dragon of Utopia said coldly, "With this method, it can easily recruit enough people during the low period of the demon tide in the past. The demigod is unwilling to lie dormant, is there any power in the world that can stop it?"

Medea was speechless. Obviously, international politics was generally stable during the low period of the demonic tide, and the reason was that the demigods were restricted by the demonic tide and could not take action.

If there was such a way to break the demonic restrictions imposed by demigods, then the world would have been in chaos long ago.

"I prefer a long-term plan." Asker proposed another possibility, "Your Excellency, Dragon of Fantasy, have you ever heard of a type of law related to 'prophecy'?"

"You mean 'destiny'?" The Dragon of Fantasy said in surprise, "But the fragments that can usually be predicted by this kind of law are extremely limited, not to mention that the future is not static. Observation itself is a disturbance, and the future predicted through the law of fate, By the time this behavior is predicted to occur, the future has already changed.”

"Don't forget the butterfly effect." Medea also disagreed with this statement. "A butterfly flapping its wings in the northern continent may cause a storm in the southern continent. Even a small change over hundreds of years will have an impact on several people." A hundred years from now there will be significant changes in the future.”

"Simple prediction is definitely not possible to plan ahead, but what if it is a more complicated situation?" Asker sighed, "Let's give an example."

"Someone claimed to be able to predict the results of football matches. He listed all the predicted football match results, divided them into three categories according to victory, loss and tie, and sent them to three user groups respectively."

"If it ends up being a tie, he will find out the user group that sent the result as a tie, divide it into three groups again, and send the results of the next football game respectively. In this way, as users continue to be filtered out, some users will always be left in the end , to them, this person’s predictions are never wrong.”

"You mean...oh! I understand!" Medea clapped her hands and shouted.

"What should I say?" Bruno, the Dragon of Fantasy, has not yet reacted.

"Your Excellency, if I were the one behind the scenes hundreds of years ago now." Medea said excitedly, obviously impressed by this conspiracy, "Through the laws of fate, I predict that as the country's strength increases in the future, the Frankish Empire will inevitably There will be conflicts with the Holy See, which is the number one in the mainland, but I can’t predict when or what form the conflicts will take.”

"So I selected a large number of Frankish nobles of this era, infected them spiritually in secret ways, and planted the idea of ​​becoming an enemy of the Holy See."

"Of course, in this era, the Frankish Empire cannot defeat the Holy See, so even if everyone has such thoughts in their hearts, in real life they will not rashly advocate starting a war."

"But as a spiritual plague, this thought will spread out at a specific time and spread to healthy people around the patient."

"As time goes by, most of these nobles must have disappeared. A small number are still active in the upper echelons of the empire and have spread this idea to the newly promoted healthy nobles."

"So this idea is like a virus, deeply rooted in the upper echelons of the Frank Empire. No matter how different dynasties change, as long as the upper echelons do not completely change their blood, there will always be infected nobles from the old era left over to spread this idea again. "

"Until a certain era, when the empire initially gained the strength to fight against the Holy See, the virus was activated and broke out, prompting the upper-level rulers to become more inclined to become enemies of the Holy See, and eventually fierce conflicts and confrontations broke out."

Listening to Medea's guess, Asker suddenly remembered a certain disease called "Hepatitis B". The Hepatitis B virus will integrate its own genetic material into the human liver cells, and then continuously produce new viruses to infect more people. Many healthy people. Relying on this mode of transmission, hepatitis B virus has continued on the earth for at least thousands of years.

The spiritual plague may be a variant of a biological virus. It is secretive and difficult to detect, has an extremely long incubation period, is not fatal (patients may not be aware of it for life), and is highly contagious, so it makes sense that it will last for hundreds of years.

"This, this is really..." The fantasy dragon had nothing to say for a while. He had no research on medicine and did not know the transmission mechanism of biological viruses. Just listening to Medea's description gave him a strange feeling.

"If you say so, then this mental plague is most likely to spread randomly." After a moment, the Dragon of Imagination calmed down and analyzed, "Because the person behind the scenes cannot predict the future direction. Moreover, if there is a mind The extraordinary people of the sequence happened to be infected, so they should be aware of it."

"But in the circle of spiritual beings, I have never heard of similar rumors of a spiritual plague."

"Uh." Medea also felt that something was wrong. After all, the random spread of things was too uncontrollable. It was not a very reasonable explanation to think that no clues had been revealed for hundreds of years.

"It's not necessarily true that you haven't heard of it," Ask suddenly said, "How else would the Succubus Queen know?"

"Let's do this." Utopia Dragon finally said, "The above is just our speculation. There is no evidence yet."

"I will investigate Queen Theophano's side later. As for the source of information about Queen Succubus, I will leave it to you to confirm."
