19. Chapter 19
Kevin strode to the study, which was already in a mess.
A slightly chubby chamberlain threw himself on the ground, as if he had fallen, but somehow he kept that position and didn't get up. There were also several attendants and guards around him, all of them with panicked faces and helpless faces.
Sinia was buried in Osveld's arms, crying breathlessly, rubbing her eyes with her left hand and stiffening her right hand at a strange angle. Osvid's face was very ugly, he carefully examined Sinia's right hand, looked up at the guard and shouted, "Stupid? Go to the infirmary and call someone! β
The two guards were so busy that they didn't even bother to salute Kevin, and rushed out with a roar.
"What's going on?" Kevin walked in, feeling that something wasn't quite right. If you just fell, you wouldn't have reacted so much.
Osvid didn't answer him first, but said impatiently to the other attendants, "Won't you move either?" Don't let him lie on his stomach on the ground all the time, lift him up first. β
The three helpless attendants nodded again and again, and discussed with each other to lift the fat attendant who was thrown on the ground.
Kevin glanced at it, and his face changed: "How did he become like this?" β
When the fat squire was lifted, he still maintained the posture of throwing himself on the ground, and there was no change in the slightest, as if he had been frozen. It was a very strange situation, as if what they were lifting was not a living person at all, but a stone sculpture.
But the stone carving could speak, but his voice trembled violently: "Your Majesty, I, why can't I?" I can't feel my hands and feet......"
"I'll talk about it when the doctor comes." Osvid replied, then raised his chin at his desk, and said to a few of the chamberlains: "Put it on the table, or put it on the chair, and see how you can fix it." β
After giving the order, he turned his head and explained to Kevin: "Sinia fell when she ran in, he blocked it, and he fell harder. But that's not the point, you've already seen it, he can't get up after falling, and so does Sinya's hand when he hits the ground. β
Kevin leaned in and looked at Cinya's right hand.
He didn't pay attention to it from a distance just now, but when he looked closely, he realized that the skin color of Sinya's right hand had become very strange, starting from the elbow to be segmented, the upper arm was still normal white, and the skin of the forearm up to the tip of the finger was a lifeless gray yellow, without any blood.
"Does it hurt?" Kevin raised his hand and gently pinched Sinya's forearm, which felt like crunchy gravel that seemed to shatter completely with a little more force.
Sinia shook her head with red eyes and sobbed, "But I'm afraid. β
The three chamberlains over there finally leaned the fat chamberlain back in his chair, and one of them glanced at Osvid cautiously and muttered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you...... You were also bumped in the ear by Her Highness Sinia just now, are you really okay? β
Osveld grimaced, "It's a little fuzzy. β
"You were hit too?" Kevin frowned, he didn't have any scruples about Osvid, as soon as he heard this, he directly reached out and touched the root of Osvid's ear, pressed and pressed to find the hardened place, and just touched the earlobe all the way along the pinna, from beginning to end, he didn't dare to use force, just like pinching Sinya's arm.
After a while, Kevin took a step back and said, "It's not hard, but it's a little hot, and it's probably a little lighter." You say it's already affecting hearing? β
After he said this, he turned his eyes, only to find that Osvid's expression was a little strange, and he didn't even look at him and sneered stiffly: "Didn't you go out with your brains? Who sued sΓΉ you are this ear?! β
"......" Kevin replied angrily, "I touched it for more than a minute before you realized that I was wrong?" β
Osvid snorted coldly from his nose, his expression arrogant, his appearance underwhelming, and he put on a good stand. It's a pity that the tiger skin has just been propped up and has not yet been strengthened, because of a red ear, it leaked back again.
Kevin thought it was a little funny to see him like that, but because the scene was not appropriate, he had to tighten his expression even more strictly, and raised his foot to go around to the other side of Osveld.
This time there was no need to touch it, because the change in Osveld's ear was very obvious, like Sinia's arm, bloodless and grayish.
Kevin said worriedly: "If you accidentally press it while sleeping, will it break directly?" β
Osvid's face turned green in an instant, he rolled his eyes, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Don't bother, shut your crow's mouth!" β
While the two were talking, the two guards who had gone to call for the medic returned, and the medic who was placed between them looked very old, thin and small, like a shriveled bean with two thin legs. He was carried back almost all the way by the guards, his feet did not touch the ground, and he was not put down until he entered the study.
The old medical officer sighed and gasped, saluted Osvid, and said in a long tone, "Your Majestyβ"
"Don't Majesty, go straight to the doctor." Osvid had a headache when he heard him speak, and simply shoved Sinya's right hand under the old doctor's nose.
He briefly told Sinia about the fat squire, and then stared at the old doctor with a frown, waiting for him to speak.
The old doctor's eyes didn't seem to be good, and the tip of his nose was almost touching the back of Sinya's hand. He looked at it for a while, muttered for a moment, then moved tremblingly to the side of the chair, and checked the fat waiter up and down, inside and out.
"Do you see the results?" Osvid couldn't help but say.
The old doctor nodded, then shook his head again: "I don't know what it is, but I've seen it in a book. β
Oswid: "What book?" β
The old doctor scratched his face, looked up and thought for a long time, and said, "I forgot the title of the book." β
Osvid: "......"
If this medical officer was a little younger, Ausveld could have ordered him to be forked out!
"But I remember that." The medical officer gasped for a breath and added, "That was the time of Bethelman, according to the generation, it was the great-grandfather of your great-grandfather, and the book said that there was a rat plague in the royal city that summer, and a strange disease suddenly began to circulate in the palace, and good people suddenly couldn't move, including Emperor Bethman himself, who also had an arm infected. The description of the illness looked very similar to that of Her Highness Sinia and the attendant. β
"A plague of rats?" Kevin turned his head to look out the window, and the hallway was full of black worms the size of sesame seeds, which were a bit similar to the medical officer's mouth.
Osvid also glanced at the flying insects, frowned and asked, "What happened later?" What's the solution? β
The court physician was helpless, so Emperor Beseman had no choice but to find another way. At that time, the Spirit Clan had not yet moved to the sea, and there were often contacts with our country, so the emperor invited the Great Elder of the Spirit Clan at that time to come and see. The old medical officer recalled it carefully, and then continued: "I remember that the Great Elder said that this was not so much a disease as some kind of witchcraft similar to an infectious disease. Later, the emperor followed the advice of the great elder and went to the tomb of the god Fae. β
Kevin plucked out his ears: "Whose grave?" β
Osvid was equally surprised: "Tomb of Phae? The underground tomb of Fae, the god of light? β
The old medic nodded.
Osvid and Kevin both showed "What the are you kidding me?" at the same time. Expression.
Sinia had been brainwashed by Osvid for a year, and the name Fae, the goddess of light, was a thunderbolt to her. The girl who cried like a puppy suddenly stopped her tears and sobbed, "Can you see him at the tomb of the gods?" I want to go ......."
The old doctor said kindly: "Go to the tomb of the god and see his bones." β
Sinia: "......"
It is said that Osvid, who "likes Fae very much", couldn't listen to it, glared at the old medical officer, and got back to the point: "Why did the Great Elder of the Spirit Clan let them go to the tomb of Fae? β
The old medical officer waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, do you believe in the old god or the back god?" β
Osvid replied, "I don't believe in any, I believe in myself." But I'm more of an old god than the other. β
Sinia turned to look at him, "Is it because there is a phae?" β
Osvid rolled his eyes and covered her face with the palm of his hand to prevent her from causing any more trouble.
"Your Majesty should know that the God of Light is not only in charge of light, but also in charge of war and health. The Great Elder said that that kind of witchcraft can be traced back to the same line as the gods, and it is not something they can solve. Have you heard of the legend of the tomb of the god Phae? The most widely circulated one is that there is a silver finch chalice in the altar of the main temple of the Tomb of the Lady of Evil, and the cup is full of holy water. β
Auswid: "...... Is it still useful after so many years? β
It is a shame that he is the emperor, otherwise he would have been beaten if he said this in front of the faithful followers of the old gods.
The old medical officer held back for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "At least the original Emperor Besseman succeeded, otherwise there would be no successor." β
That's what matters.
Osveld pondered for a moment, then said to the old doctor, "Okay, I see." Is there any way you can find that book? β
The old doctor bowed again and said, "I'll go back and try." β
The old doctor and the chamberlain were dismissed, and only Kevin and him were left in the study. Looking at his expression, Kevin knew that he hadn't really pinned all his hopes on the tomb of Phae. Because that's not a place where the average person can go.
There are many descriptions of the tomb of the god Phager, in different versions and contents, but they all have one thing in common, that is, it is dangerous and difficult.
They hadn't read the book that the old doctor had said, and in fact, the official account of the Besseman era did not mention the strange disease, but rather mentioned that Besserman had great respect for the god of light in his later years. If it's because of what the old doctor said, that's understandable.
It is also conceivable that in order to enter the tomb of the gods and reach the main hall, Bethelman would never lose a number of soldiers. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the vagueness.
Osvid touched his ears and squinted, "Tomb of Phae...... It's not a good choice, it's not worth it to lose too many people to get in. What do you sayβwhat are you doing? β
Kevin was leaning against the window and watching the flying insects outside, when he heard this, his eyes moved, and he turned his gaze to Osvid, and said, "I want to go into the cemeteryβ"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Wangcheng Patrol Cavalry is urgent!" β
