Chapter 17: Regaining Faith
"Hehe, don't worry, general, Gafa City is a long way from us, separated by mountains and oceans, and diseases there can't be transmitted to us here." Owen Rose saw Eugen's fear, and couldn't help but despise Eugen a little in his heart. I thought that I would be frightened by such a distant disaster, this Eugen general's courage is really small, and it is really shit luck that such a person can win the battle.
Hearing Owen Rose's words, Eugen almost wanted to laugh, there was really nothing wrong with this thing. He said to himself, you are a fool and you know how terrible it is when the Black Death comes.
The news was confirmed from Owen Rose, and Eugen immediately did not want to say a word. He sat down on the chair and poured the wine glass into his mouth one after another, completely looking like his heart was dead.
When Owen Rose saw Eugen like this, he lost his mind to make friends. A bad seed who is frightened by a distant disease can have much of a life, and it is of little value to know it.
A businessman is a businessman, and he doesn't want to waste even a minute on a worthless object. So Owen Rose said sorry and turned away without saying a word.
Rambo and Corleone were vaguely aware of the problem here, so they put away their joking hearts, and each took a chair and sat down next to Eugen, wanting to hear what instructions Eugen had.
Eugen smiled wryly at Rambo and Corleone, and then continued to drink his beer. Now his mind is like a mess, and he needs to sort it out.
"It's so fucking depressing, I've just crossed over and let me get into this kind of thing. I said God, you're going to kill me, just hurry up and split me with a thunderbolt, don't you have to do so many programs. ”
Eugen groaned in his heart, he couldn't figure out why this terrible Black Death had been holding back for more than two hundred years, and had not broken out before, so as soon as he crossed over, he gave him a blow on the head.
When Corleone saw the face of the head of the house now, he knew that something must be wrong. Although he didn't understand, he could understand that this matter must be quite critical, and even quite deadly.
As a battle-hardened warrior, Corleone understands that when faced with such deadly events, the last thing you can't lose is confidence. As long as you have faith, then no matter what kind of danger, there will be a glimmer of hope of escape. And once confidence is lost, then even dangers that could have been avoided will be lost for other reasons.
"Head of the house!" Corleone suddenly half-knelt in front of Eugen and said with knightly etiquette: "Master of the house, no matter what happens, I will be by the side of the head of the house, solve all problems for the head of the house, remove all obstacles, please don't lose faith!" ”
Rambo and Corleone knelt side by side and said equally firmly, "Yes, Master, you and us. We are your sword and your shield to cut through the thorns. If you have any tasks, you can just leave them to us. ”
The sudden movements of the two immediately attracted the attention of the people around them, and the guests participating in the banquet liked to see this kind of sudden incident the most, so they talked about it.
Viscount Damtast rushed over when he heard the news, and when he saw Rambo and Corleone kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly walked over and looked at Eugen suspiciously, and asked, "General Eugen, what is going on?" ”
Eugen was a little depressed, but when he heard Rambo and Corleone's statement, he suddenly regained his strength. Indeed, he is not alone now. He has his own followers, as well as his own army. With all this, if he can successfully defeat a powerful enemy, why can't he defeat a terrible disease?
Thinking of this, he knew that he could not hesitate any longer, since he had decided to face this 'enemy' head-on, then everything had to race against time.
Medieval Europeans had no way to deal with the Black Death, which did not mean that he, a modern college student in the 21st century who was born under the red flag and grew up in a new countryside, could not do anything.
Moreover, he also has the advantage of being a prophet and can make some preparations in advance.
"You two, I see, you guys get up first." Eugen put down the wine glass in his hand, helped Rambo and the others up, and said firmly.
Then he looked at Viscount Damtast who had rushed over, and said, "Dear Viscount, there is nothing to do here now, but I still have some personal matters to discuss with you in detail, and I don't know if there is a more convenient place." ”
Viscount Damtast lowered his head and thought for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "Well, yes, you can come with me. With that, Viscount Darmast walked towards the middle of the hall.
Eugen told Rambo and Corleone not to move, waited for his orders, and then left with Viscount Darmast.
The ball was still going on in the hall, with beautiful and elegant ladies dancing in the center of the hall and men guarding them like knights.
Europe is a beautiful place and there are also very nice people here. However, it is hard to imagine that after the Black Death came, there was no telling what terrible suffering these people would have to suffer.
For Eugen, since God had brought him here, he had to stop this disaster no matter what. This is his mission and his responsibility, and if he can't do it, he is afraid that he will have a troubled conscience for the rest of his life.
Damtast led Eugen up a flight of stairs from the side door on the side of the hall, spiraling up to the second floor, and walking up the stairs, he strengthened his confidence.
Finally, Eugen was led by the viscount to a house on the second floor, where three layers of bookshelves were placed against the wall, which seemed to be a study.
Rambo and Corleone stood motionless at the table, waiting for Eugen's orders as if they were two soldiers about to go on an expedition.
"You're saying you're going to sell me those captives of yours?" Viscount Daltast looked at Eugen in surprise, he didn't understand why Eugen made such a request. After all, those captives don't just mean money, they mean honor in a sense.
"No, it's not a sale, it's a transfer. It's just that I'll hand them over to you first, and then it's up to you to negotiate the ransom with the French. In addition, the equipment of the heavy cavalry will also be transferred to you. Eugen emphasized the word transfer, and he did not want to become a slave trader who bought and sold captives, which was now just a variation in a special situation.
Viscount Damtast still seemed a little unacceptable to these things, and he said suspiciously, "Why? It won't do you any good. ”
