Chapter 832: Plague

Most of the villages within a hundred miles of Gaunt City were scattered, and all of them were relocated, and the scope of the relocation was not limited to a hundred miles south of Gaunt City, so you can imagine how large the refugee team would be.

However, perhaps due to the cold winter climate, there was no sign of a large-scale outbreak of plague, and the source of the plague seemed to spread only in humans, and William caught some animals that lacked food and foraged in the snow for many days, and found no disease in them.

Titi has cut through the surface of the river upstream where thick ice has formed, and the water source is still clean.

"Maybe the pathogen is only from the residents of that village, and it is not as strict as imagined, not to mention the large-scale migration and flow of people, and the organizers will not ignore the issue of epidemic prevention." Lin An guessed.

If the epidemic prevention of the plague can be prevented and prepared before the outbreak, it can be completely controlled artificially, and the achievements of the magic of this world in the depth and depth are not much inferior to the technology of the previous life, and Mourinho has already learned about the situation, so there is no need for Lin An to inform the people in power of Merlin.

She doesn't think of herself as the savior and saint in those knightly novels, pinning the lives of tens of millions of people on one person, after all, it's just a novel, and what she is doing is only what she should do.

If the plague hadn't happened, it would have been just a false alarm, and since Merlin's intelligence department had already had the Holy Empire's information on the plague, the Emperor might have been prepared.

Lin An began to consider whether to find a place to retreat, and of course, for Lin An, it was the safest place to retreat at the moment. It was undoubtedly the city in the sky, so they entered from the border between the Meryl Kingdom and the Principality of Magic, and flew along the official road towards Dolan City, where the city in the sky was located.

……

The flames in the red brick closet are blazing, baking a warm and comfortable temperature.

The middle of winter restricts the range of people going out. The warm Causeway and Drummer Tavern was one of the town's few centers of exchange, and business was booming, with barrels of ale consumed by drinkers in the cold of winter, and oak barrels filled the underground cellars.

There was a bang. The heavy cotton curtain hanging in front of the tavern was opened.

A cold wind blew in, and the mercenary sitting near the door cursed, turned his head to look at the door, and a little girl in a cloak walked in, followed by a strange unicorn beast almost the same height as her, followed by a young female traveler whose whole body was wrapped in a cloak and only a little white chin could be seen.

The drunken mercenary was about to make a joke, when a black-armored warrior in a mask came in, clearing his drunken head and swallowing it back into his stomach along with the ale.

A woman I met on my travels. It often gives the impression of being weak. The mercenaries are on the go all year round. Even if you are half drunk, you will subconsciously tighten a string in your head, but there will always be one or two drunkards who don't open their eyes. The drunken eyes were somehow dazzled by the white skin under the hood, and slapped the table with drunkenness:

"Hey. Girl over there, take off your hood and let me see! ”

A table of similarly drunk companions also laughed.

"Is there a large suite, I want one."

Lin An turned a deaf ear, and a gold rego was placed in front of the tavern owner.

The reflection of pure gold flashed in people's eyes, and was quickly touched into the hands of the tavern owner, who was also accustomed to the laughter in the tavern, turned his head and scolded in his hometown slang, and quickly changed the lingua franca and grinned at Lin An:

"Yes, yes! The only large suite in our tavern is still empty, free hot water, and my daughter Lisa's hands and feet are fairly clean, if you don't mind, please feel free to call us. ”

He turned his head and shouted, and a red-haired freckled girl ran over, and opened two salty pig hands along the way, and when she passed by the table of drunkards before, she kicked hard, and trampled the drunkard who had been the happiest to Lin An before, and the drinkers laughed for a while, full of familiar banter between the villagers and neighbors, without malice.

A medium-sized town with a population of less than 2,000 people, the largest tavern can have a suite and be equipped with an exclusive maid, the conditions are already very good, although Lin An knows that this exclusive maid is probably just temporarily appointed, the so-called large suite, maybe it is the master room let out by the tavern owner - the boss is about to cramp his eyes on his daughter, and the expression of "wronged big head comes to the door" makes Lin An think that he can't see it.

In order to give the boss's daughter time to clean up the room, Lin An sat down and asked casually:

"Two glasses of fresh blueberry juice, is there any news lately?"

Blueberry juice is actually a light fruit wine, sweet and sour, the tavern always has a good mixology, and the color is so popular with Athena that she has consciously climbed up to the barstool to wait, while William lies under the stool, his long tail sweeping carelessly, occasionally looping the corner of the barstool.

The boss glanced at Titi, who had most of her body hidden in the shadows of the corner, and felt that the oppression brought by the other party quickly decreased, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and diligently took out blueberry juice, glad that he had saved half an extra bucket for his daughter, and some fat hands put away the silver coins that Lin An put on the table, and marveled at the generous gesture of this guest, and searched his brain before replying:

"The guests are passing travelers, there is nothing going on in our town, but I heard about the disaster on the east coast, some of them are strict, and many displaced refugees have begun to appear outside Rob City."

There was more than one person in the tavern talking about it, and there were drinkers talking about it at the table near the bar:

“…… Hey, speaking of which this year's year is really not good, those civilians in the north who have been relocated by the army, even if they are prepared, most of them can still eat dry food, and those in the east who lost their homes in the tsunami are the real refugees. ”

"Speaking of which, don't the nobles of those territories care?"

"The tsunami flooded the territory of those noble lords, they themselves are too busy to take care of themselves, and they can use the army and private soldiers to save refugees, they are all good people, how can they manage so much!"

There are also radicals who disdain it, "Ha, those aristocratic lords are high. Drunk every day, dreams and death, wine and dance, how can you care about the life and death of the untouchables! ”

"The same can't be said, we noble mages in Atlanta always have to be wary of the remarks of those mages from civilian backgrounds. You can't give up civilians lightly, which is much better than other countries. ”

"I've heard that when the coast is flooded by seawater, the land seeps into salt and becomes saline like Fischer-Tropsch. I can't grow food anymore! ”

"Ah, that's not ......"

"Don't listen to this guy......"

The tavern was noisy, and the doors and windows were sealed, and the smell was a bit strong.

The tavern owner entertained Lin An with hospitality, and at the same time peeked cautiously, with his little knowledge, he couldn't see anything special about Lin An and his party, but he faintly intuited that this group of people was from an extraordinary background, and it was likely to be a noble child who was traveling. Some worry that they are disgusted with the environment inside the tavern. Let the door-to-door business run away in vain.

One gold coin is also half a month's net profit for him. What's more, these guests don't look like they are stingy with tips.

However, due to the natural aura on Lin An's body, the tavern owner subconsciously felt that Lin An was approachable, not as humble and intimidated as he was in the face of nobles. I unconsciously poured out a lot of news I had heard recently, along with the fact that the mayor of the town was scratched by his wife, and a gang formed by a ruffian in the north of the town took in some displaced young refugees. Lin Andu's ears were full of listening.

As if he was worried about something, the tavern owner who was quietly peeping was curious about what kind of beauty Lin An really looked at, and suddenly found that Lin An's red lips exposed outside the hood because of drinking were pursed, his chin was tense, and he put the half-drunk blueberry juice on the log bar.

The tavern owner panicked, thinking that the drunkard who didn't open his eyes was provoking people again, and looked in the direction that Lin An was watching, but he saw that there were two tables of people arguing in that direction, and most of them stood up and cursed.

The boss hurriedly ran out of the bar to ask, it turned out that a drunk man was leaving, but he couldn't hold back when he passed through the aisle between the two tables, and vomited up, and was being flattened.

"Little Hans, you rotten drunkard, didn't I say that I wouldn't let you pay on credit, who gave you wine!"

Seeing that the strong man who fell to the ground and was beaten and didn't wake up, it was the neighbor's child who he watched grow up, the boss hurriedly called someone to help, and pushed away a few drunkards who were drunk and didn't know where to kick their fists and kicks, and was about to help the little Hans on the ground up, when he suddenly heard a female voice shouting:

"Don't move, he's sick!"

At first, no one noticed the sound, and the drunkards' swearing and scolding were muffled by the noise in the tavern, except when the tavern owner turned his head, he saw the female guest who was still wearing a cloak after entering the tavern come behind him.

Her white hands stretched out her sleeves, and a green light lit up on her fingertips, and the boss vaguely heard a "purification", and saw a ripple centered on Lin An, sweeping across the entire tavern, except for the people in the tavern who were completely drunk to death, everyone else suddenly had a light brain, sobering up from the drunkenness brought by alcohol.

What happened?

Got a mage?

The drinkers looked at each other, and the tavern owner suddenly realized that the strange female guest and his companion had disappeared, and at the same time, there was little Hans, who was drunk and vomited all over the ground.

Lin An and Athena Titi had already arrived in the room on the third floor of the tavern.

The tavern is a place where people gather, and it is the easiest to spread the epidemic, but this time the plague has not reached the most contagious stage before the complete outbreak, otherwise Lin An would not have noticed the plague pathogen until he saw the filth that little Hans vomited, so even if there were still infected people in the tavern, after the purification god just now, the hidden danger had been eliminated, except for the fact that little Hans was deliberately isolated, and the epidemic on his body had not been expelled and purified.

Now what needs to be clarified is, is the epidemic carried by little Hans the kind she knows?

If so, then how did little Hans get infected in Atlanta, a hundred miles away?

The first problem was not difficult to solve, Lin An took a small amount of saliva and blood from Little Hans and fused it with the test reagent that had been prepared, and the result was indeed the one she and Mourinho found on the corpse of the village leftbehind after a while.

Later, she woke up little Hans and asked him about the personnel he had been in contact with in recent times, and the answer to the second question was also roughly guessed.
