The Plague
Chapter 216:The Plague
For the next two days, Tsada kept traveling to and from the Margrie Chamber of Commerce and the outskirts of Wangdu.
The ships that took away the fugitives were provided by Marguery, while the First Army would pose as mercenaries to the canal docks and arrange for the fugitives to board the ship within the agreed time.
As for spreading the news and tempting to hook, the black hammers are already familiar with them, and Tassa is not worried about this.Rats are much more convenient to do this than outsiders, although the scope is only in the northern city, but the fugitives will certainly spread to each other.And he could not take everyone away at once, your Highness confessed that this matter can be done slowly, and it is a ship that is sent away.
On the day of the arrival of the flotilla, nearly a thousand displaced escapees were present at the pier, which was unexpected.If you rely on the first army to promote, there are hundreds of people to believe that even if it is good.
According to the screening requirements of His Royal Highness, he first let the child on board, followed by a family with children, and finally an adult.As for the old man, he found that the old man in the crowd had almost no gray hair, perhaps they did not want to venture out in a remote place again, or they were unable to escape from the east to the royal capital.
The first ten dhows, carrying more than 500 people, set out, and the rest were driven back to the camp, but they also brought back the news that the fleet would come again.
Originally thought that the first task assigned by His Highness could be successfully completed, but it was not expected that shortly after the merchant fleet had transported the second group of people, Tassa encountered difficult trouble.
There was a sudden illness in the royal city.
The dead man who was first found lay on the side of the road, and he appeared a block of black spots, teeth fell out, his skin cracked, and the blood that came out changed color—like the witch was so terrible when she was swallowed by the power of evil spirits.The victim was not a woman, but a male civilian living in the northern part of the city.
Several bodies with the same symptoms were found, and some people who had been exposed to the body began to grow black spots, whether it was covered with herbs or ice, so that they could not be subsided, and even during bloodletting treatment, the blood was red and black, as if they were mixed with a lot of ink.
Fear soon spread among the crowd, and more and more people went to church to pray, but everything was useless, and more and more dark spots appeared, and even the fugitives outside the city showed the same symptoms.
The high priest of the church stood up, claiming that it was a witch’s plot to unleash the power of the devil in order to infect the other innocents.No cure can resist the power of demons, and those who are eroded will die in extreme pain.But the Church will never sit idly by, and they have developed the Holy Spirit’s medicine, which is enough to curb the evil power of the devil in hell.
This sermon allowed the infected to see a glimmer of life, and they sat around the church door every day, waiting for the distribution of holy medicine.
Although Tsusa was deeply suspicious of the Church's claims, he temporarily suspended the transport of the fugitives, just in case.
“Why stop?”Black Hammer said incomstraubs, "Now the gang of guys are also eroded by the demonic forces, don't hurry to send afar, do you want them to stay outside the city to make seeds for witches?" 」
"That's what it means," he said impatiently, "but the ordinary fugitives are fine, and if the West is also infected by this evil force, what will the kingdom look like?"
"Er--" said the black hammer, "but it's none of our business to look like in the West, Lord Tassa, if you don't hear the above, drag them all away."Come to think of it, this kind of ghosting thing can be eroded as long as it comes into contact, and I don't want to be with a lot of hell devils, even across a wall."
“As if you haven’t heard?“I have only one head,” Tsa coldly said, “and you have only one.”Do as I say!”
After he left the tavern, he found a shop marked with the coat of arms of the Margari caron and showed the token.
"I want to see your boss, the sooner the better."
Not long after, he saw the businesswoman again in the secret room of the shop.
"This disease must have nothing to do with the witch," said Marguerite, "and if the demonic powers released were not able to resist the stone of divine punishment, they would have turned Helmets into a dead death."
“I think so too, but it is imperative that this matter be reported to His Highness Roland.Although the two groups on board did not see the symptoms of dark spots, the disease did not appear to have occurred on the spot, and if someone on board was infected with the power of demons, the border town must respond immediately.”Tassa took a folded letter from his arms, "I need your help to send the letter back to your Highness as soon as possible."
"Certainly," she nodded, "the message among the merchants is always the fastest."
...
The voyage for several days made Lucia want to vomit.
For the past month, she seems to have been running away from the east to the royal capital, and then from the royal capital to the west.But the former was driven out of her home, while the latter was the last hope in her heart.
“Sister, water, I’m thirsty...”
The bell let out a groan of pain and reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Well, I'll give you some water."
Lucia grabbed the bag by hand and staggered out of the cabin, and knelt down to the lowest point of the ship, and reached out to dip the bag into the river.The acid water in her stomach surged again, she could not resist, and finally a mouthful of wow vomited out.A small amount of wheat porridge in the stomach was spitted, and acid water flowed out of the nostrils.She resisted the urge to cry, clenched her teeth, wiped her face with the back of her hand, and continued to soak the bag.It was not until the bag had sucked water that she held it in her arms and ran back to the cabin.
"Here comes the water, open your mouth."
But the face of the bell was worse than before, and the cheeks appeared abnormally reddish, and the forehead was burning terrible.She closed her lips and made a groan.
Lucia forced her mouth to break open, tighten the bag, and let the water drop fall into her sister's mouth.
"Don't get too close to her, the dark spot has spread to the neck, and she can't hold it long."A weak middle-age man in the cabin said, "We'll all die here, so take care of yourself."
Not long after leaving the royal capital, there were people on the ship suffering from a terrible disease, first full of fever, and then dark spots on the skin, the disease will rapidly deteriorate after three or four days, not only in their own coma, but also let the contact infected with the same disease.So on the fifth day, the fleet specially cleared a sailboat to carry the sick.Lucia guessed that the reason the other party did not throw all the sick fugitives into the river was that they had been infected themselves.
After the black spot appeared on the bell, she did not listen to the discouragement of others, and resolutely followed her sister to the ship full of patients.
In order to take care of the young bell, she had not eyes for almost two days.
Lucia still hasn’t given up, and she believes that everything will be fine when she gets to the west.
If the rumors are correct, the help will be her last hope.(Unfinished.
