Chapter 266: The Countess (9)

The two girls were catching snakes and scorpions in the water, and Ye Ce was watching from the tree not far away.

He felt like it was a very fucked-up time because everybody was going crazy about food.

Equally.

He also feels that this is a beautiful era, and its beauty lies in the fact that it can make people see through people's hearts.

Because in disasters, people will not be afraid to show their true colors.

The best of times, but also the worst of times.

Ye Ce took out a bottle of wine that he stole from the nobleman's house, took a sip, and estimated the time, more than ten hours have passed, and the rest of the time, can you still read their story?

"Hey, you're dangerous!"

At this time, a blonde boy came over by the river.

He wore heavy-looking boots, daggers on both sides, and a large horned helmet on his head, revealing his white, immature young face.

Rose and Catherine immediately became vigilant and looked at the boy at the same time.

"Who are you?" Rose had drawn her dagger, her vigilance had always been strong, and it was the first time anyone had approached her so unnoticed.

"I'm Hydra, Lord of Here!"

The boy patted his chest and said, "The creek where you are is is also part of my territory. Of course, this is my self-proclaimed one, because I'm not an aristocratic lord. ”

"Where did you get the horned helmet?" asked Catherine, for she knew that it was the helmet of the Brute Bull Army of the next viscounty of the family.

"Picked it up. ”

"A lot of people have died in this area, rats have bitten to death, but I'm not afraid of rats, so I can pick up their stuff," Hydra said. ”

"You're not afraid of mice?"

Rose frowned and said, "In this world, there are still people and centaurs who are not afraid of mice?"

"I'm not afraid. Hydra proudly said, "I am a lord favored by the gods, so even if I am bitten by a mouse, I will not get sick." ”

Is this true, or is the teenager babbling gibberish?

Rose and Catherine looked at each other, then went ashore.

"I don't believe you're not afraid of mice. ”

Rose said, "Unless you can prove it to us, if you can prove it, will we two be your wives?"

Catherine was a little upset, and said in a very low voice: "I don't want to be her wife, and you are my wife!"

Rose gave her a look, then looked at the obviously tempted young man and said, "How about the lord, can you prove it?"

"Absolutely. ”

Hydra sat down on the ground with some excitement, took off his heavy boots, and exposed his feet and legs, which were full of bite marks.

And people living in this era can see at a glance that this is a rat bite.

After being bitten like this, he was still alive.

Is he really not afraid of mice?

Rose was a little excited, "Tell me, why aren't you afraid of mice, tell me!"

"Because I ate a different kind of snake. ”

Hydra was frightened by Rose, whose dagger was already on her neck, "a three-headed xenosnake that likes to be in the lower reaches of this river." As long as you eat this snake, you won't be afraid of rats anymore!"

"You know how to deal with the Black Death, but why don't you tell everyone?" Catherine asked.

"No one believes it!"

Hydra looked frustrated, "I went to the castle to tell my lord, but they didn't believe me. But I saw that they had come to catch the snake that night. I thought they would give the xenosnake to the citymen, but they didn't. Not only did they not, but they also sent someone to arrest me, if I wasn't very familiar with this place, I'm afraid I would have been caught by them a long time ago!"

This......

Catherine was not a fool, she thought of many things at once.

Her father was a calculating man who was very good at earning benefits.

He sent people to arrest people, nothing more than to take the cure of the Black Death into his own hands, and then exchange it for wealth!

But can such wealth really be earned?

Rose frowned and said, "Take me to catch it, immediately!"

The three of them then went to the lower reaches of the river and managed to catch some xenomorph snakes.

Rose and Catherine return to the city with Xenosnake and Hydra, and immediately go to Johnson's house.

told Johnson's wife all about the xenomorph snake.

She was very excited when she heard this, and said happily: "I have been looking for a solution to the Black Death, but I have always been short of something, and it seems that this is it!"

After about half an hour, she brought out a bowl of soup and went to a room where the Black Death patient was held, and told the patient to drink the soup.

After more than an hour, the dying patient gradually became angry, he spoke, he wanted to eat something.

Everyone's eyes showed joy, knowing that this medicine had worked!

For a moment, the whole street fell into ecstasy.

And, Johnson immediately took someone to catch the snake.

Catherine watched Johnson and the others leave, and said with some concern: "Rose, I'm afraid that the lord will stop Johnson. He knew how to cure the Black Death, but he didn't save anyone, and I think he was going to make a fortune by doing this, and what we did was cutting off his money!"

"It's a possibility. ”

When Johnson's wife heard this, she immediately instructed the people around her: "Let's all go together, and along the way, tell us all about it." When the whole city knows about it, even if the lord wants to stop it, I'm afraid there will be nothing he can do. ”

When everyone heard this, they thought it was a good idea, and they all followed.

It didn't take long for the civilians of the whole city to gather together and leave the city in a mighty way.

The castle had already noticed the movement on this side, and someone reported it to the city lord, and after the city lord heard it, he immediately sent people to intercept it, but there were too many civilians, and he quickly dispersed the people he sent.

In desperation, the city lord could only lead his troops out of the city in person, and sent people to ask the Knights of Light of the Holy See.

That's it.

The civilians confronted the lord's army, as well as the Knights of Light, by the river.

Lord Yorick rode on a white horse, looking heroic, and he said aloud: "Lords, don't believe rumors, maybe it will cost you your lives!"

"Fart you!"

Johnson scolded angrily: "We have cured a Black Death, and we know that you already know the solution to the Black Death, but you didn't save your people, you just want to use it to earn more gold!

"Yes, it's up to us!"

"If you dare to stop us, then we will fight with you!"

"Let's go together, there are a lot of us!"

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Yorick gritted his teeth and said, "Release the arrow, release the arrow immediately!"

Then, an overwhelming rain of swords fell.

Many civilians fell.

Many of them had no weapons, so how could they stop the rain of swords?

Ye Ce, who was hiding in the shadows, clenched his fists, he really wanted a thunderbolt to go down and let that Yorick die!

Merely.

He couldn't do that because he wanted to know the whole story.

"Stop!"

At this time, Catherine shouted sharply, and then walked out of the crowd and said, "Father, please look at me, I'm Catherine!"

Father?

Everyone was dumbfounded, including Rose.

Yorick was even more shocked, he was still happy that Catherine might have died outside yesterday, but he didn't expect to see Catherine again today.

He frowned and said: "You are talking nonsense, my daughter Catherine is a nobleman, how can she be a lowly pariah like you, kill her, kill her for me!"

But.

Many of the soldiers and knights stopped, for they all knew Catherine.

Even if it's a little far away, she is dressed in shabby, but she is Catherine.

Catherine only felt a tingling in her heart, he didn't expect her father to expect her death like this.

She swayed and walked forward, "Father, please see clearly, I am really Catherine." ”

Yorick fell into deep thought.

If Catherine were to die like this, his reputation would be at rock bottom, and he would be rejected by all the nobles.

And the most terrible result is that Catherine's grandfather's family will immediately send troops to fight him.

No way!

Yorick pretended to be serious, then fell under his horse and crawled over, shouting, "Oh my God, it's really you Catherine, my daughter, it's really you!"

"Father!"

Catherine finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it turned out that her father had admitted his mistake.

"Don't go over!"

Rose suddenly stopped Catherine and said, "Believe me, my eyes can't go wrong, his eyes are full of hatred when he looks at you, he wants you dead!"

"But he's my father, Rose. ”

Catherine also knew that her father wanted her own territory, but after all, it was her father, and she still had a fluke mentality in her heart.

Many times, someone is persecuted for only one reason.

The persecuted person is lucky, but the persecutor is dehumanized.

"Trust me!"

Rose frowned and said, "Am I going to hurt you?" Although that person is your father, he doesn't want your life, so you can't go over!"

Catherine is embarrassed, she believes Rose's words, but she also wants to be affectionate.

All along, she knew that she had no family affection.

But the more she couldn't ask for it, the more she wanted it.

Yorick also frowned and said, "Untouchable, you let go of my daughter immediately, immediately!"

"I'm not going to let you hurt Catherine. ”

Rose stopped in front of Catherine, drew her dagger, and said, "You are not a good person, you will kill Catherine." Because, you have always coveted the territory she will inherit, but you don't want to be hated by her grandfather's family, so she has lived until now. But it's getting closer and closer to Catherine's adulthood, and I think you'll do it!"

Catherine told Rose about the territory.

Yorick gritted his teeth and said, "Untouchable, you dare to slander me!"
