Qin Ran pushed open the door.

He looked at the people kneeling on the ground in front of him, the expression on his face was still indifferent, but there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and finally, he nodded.

"I'll do my best to save you."

Qin Ran said so.

"Thank you, Your Majesty of Mercy!"

"I will follow you for the rest of my life!"

"You will be my only faith!"

……

The cries were gone, and the shouts of joy swirled in the open space in front of the house, and the lord of the Gold, the plainly dressed old man, also cheered in the midst of the favors.

He smiled.

But.

The look in his eyes was a cold mockery.

What about demigods?

As long as you find a weakness, you can also be killed by mortals.

After all, not real gods.

"Lord Gold."

The slight cry beside him made the eyes of the plainly dressed old man soften, he turned his head, looked at the slightly nervous Luffy beside him, and asked softly, "What's the matter, Luffy Wise?" ”

"Can we go somewhere else and talk?"

Luffy asked.

"Of course."

The plainly dressed old man nodded immediately.

Soon, the two of them made their way through the tower to the streets of Gold's Domain, and after moving away from the crowd of people who were frantic to survive, Luffy's face became more and more wrong.

Because, he saw more people rushing inside.

Some were also carrying stretchers.

As for what's on the stretcher?

Nature speaks for itself.

"Did you inform everyone of His Majesty's arrival?"

Luffy stared straight at each other.

"Hmm."

"This is the only hope!"

"I can't hide it!"

The plainly dressed old man nodded and admitted very simply, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Luffy, you know what?"

"Yesterday, more than 50 people died in Gold, and this was the mildest time of the 'Plague of Rot' at the beginning."

"Once the 'Rotten Plague' breaks out, I'm afraid that the entire Gold Territory will become a dead domain overnight."

"Do you want this to happen?"

The plainly dressed old man asked rhetorically.

"I don't want that to happen."

"This is my hometown, and I want it to be safe."

"But ......"

"Do you know about His Majesty?"

Luffy said slowly, his tone becoming stern after a slight pause.

"Nope."

"But I prepared for the worst."

"I'm all on my own."

The plainly dressed old man had a look of calm death on his face, and he showed fearlessness.

Luffy looked at this in a daze, and finally, shaking his head, turned and walked towards the tower.

The old man looked at Luffy's back, and it was not until Luffy had completely passed through the tower and entered the manor that the old man sneered.

"Don't be careless."

In the shadows behind him, a hint sounded.

"How could I be careless?"

"I will definitely be cautious about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"What about you?"

The old man restrained his sneer, his lips moved slightly, and his voice unconsciously reached the shadows.

"The news will soon spread throughout the Yote Plains."

"All those infected by the plague will flock here to pray for healing from His Crown."

"Hope ......"

"He was really able to treat so many people."

The voice in the shadows unconsciously appeared sarcastic.

How could a plague that had been difficult for even true gods to cure be cured by a demigod?

If they are cured, what do they want them to do?

Is it a plate of food?

"Of course you can!"

"Don't forget that God and man are different!"

Lord Gold said with a smile, and then, he turned and walked out of the street, the figure in the shadows silently following.

Soon, when he came to a house on the edge of Gold's collar that had been sealed off due to the plague, the plainly dressed old man walked straight in.

Click!

The other party opened a secret passage hidden in the house.

"Your Excellency."

The greeting of the guardian came from the secret passage, the old man waved his hand, and the man who had been hiding in the shadows also stepped out.

The white coat and gentle face make people unforgettable at first sight.

'Wandering Doctor' Ike.

"Dr. Ike."

The Guardian continued to greet.

Contrary to the old man's attitude, the wandering doctor politely saluted a group of powerful guards before heading to the depths of the secret passage.

A large hall with two football fields in the Chamber of Secrets appears at the end of the passage.

In the center of this chamber, a transparent container shaped like a funnel stood impressively, and the gray liquid kept tumbling in it, as if it was boiling, and bubbles were constantly bubbling out.

The bubbles did not drift away, but passed through a circle of 30-meter-long spiral test tubes from thick to thin, and then entered a large beaker with normal volume on the side.

Different from the previous gray liquid.

Here it is a pinkish-green color.

Pink and green are just normal colors in themselves, but when they merge with each other, they have a rotten, disgusting feeling.

Lord Gold walked over to the beaker, and he watched carefully.

The lord couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the liquid in the beaker was about to reach halfway.

"Very good progress."

"It's faster than you think."

"It'll be full soon."

The plainly dressed old man's tone contained anticipation.

"It's normal."

"After all, so many people died."

"And as the 'plague' breaks out and more people die, the collection rate here will get faster and faster."

'Wandering Doctor,' Ike said in a brisk tone.

"So ......"

"Happy working together?"

Lord Gold turned to look at Ike, who held out his hand without saying a word.

The two shook hard.

At the same time, they laughed.

The smile seemed genuine.

As for the facts?

Hum!

After the 'wandering doctor' Ike left, Lord Gold immediately snorted coldly, and at the same time took out the potion without a trace and wiped the palm he was holding with the other party.

The eyes of this plainly dressed old man flashed with a trace of cold killing intent.

However, immediately, this trace of killing intent was concealed in the bottom of my heart.

It's not time yet.

It's just a little bit closer.

He also needs to be patient.

……

The wandering doctor, who had returned to Gold's street, walked briskly to the town's only inn.

"Pigeon!"

"I need enough pigeons!"

"I want to bring the good news here to all those who have been afflicted by the 'Plague of Rot'."

The carrier pigeons flew out one by one.

They flew to various locations throughout the Yote Plains.

They bring exciting news.

Of course.

It's definitely not just a demigod who is willing to heal the 'Plague of Decay'.

It's a more subtle meaning that ordinary people don't understand.

The wandering doctor walked out of the inn an hour later.

His gentle smile hung on his face, full of ...... Expect.
