Chapter 457: The Plague
Chatting and chatting about Krent, he realized that something was wrong, this human had mastered only a lot more conversation skills than him, and some topics related to politics and diplomacy could also be discussed, and before he knew it, the conversation had become him asking Ruby.
"It's time to eat."
Someone helped with the cooking, and after finishing a table of dishes that Krent had never seen before, he took out a golden bell and shook it, and the sound was heard through the trunk of the tree to the upper floor, reminding the two card-playing guys that the time was up.
Maya and Amon quickly teleported from above, since they lived in the Dark City, Her Majesty naturally became a member of the rubbing meal, and a large part of the evaluation of Lubi's good man was in the delicious cooking.
'How?' β
'A good human being. β
After a short eye contact, Maya knew that Krent had initially identified with Ruby, and Krent was not surprised, after all, it was a human being that Her Majesty had a crush on, how could it be a mediocre talent.
Then it was meal time, and Krent wanted to shirk it, as he was not used to eating at the same table as the queen, but he compromised under the tempting aroma.
The dark elves didn't have a big appetite, and Krent couldn't eat it anymore after eating twice as much as usual, and at this time he was a little envious of the girl who suddenly became an adult, still sweeping the table at a very fast speed, and Krent thought about picking up a fried chicken and wrapping it in paper before Amon ate everything.
"Isn't it unappetizing?"
Ruby saw Crent's small gesture and asked politely.
"No, it's so delicious, I'd like to bring some back to my buddy."
Krent quickly shook his head, not letting Ruby misunderstand him.
"It's okay to call them to eat together, and I don't mind having one more person."
"Okay."
Krent didn't refuse when he heard Luby say this, he knew that Luby was not polite, in his eyes Ruby was a polite and unpretentious human, Krent took out a silver whistle from his arms and blew it, and he walked away from the table to wait for his partner.
It didn't take long for a black shadow to fly here from under the ancient tree of war, and everyone was a little curious when they saw the big white tiger that waved its wings and landed, and the hurricane that blew when the big white tiger landed was very strong, and Krent was afraid that it would blow over the dining table so he stayed away from here.
"This is Namientu, and it is like a family member to me."
Krent stroked Namientu's neck with a smile and introduced Ruby to his proud friend. The tiger was also very psychic, and although it couldn't speak, it nodded its head at strangers before eating the food that Krent had prepared for it.
Namientu's arrival did not add any surprises, everyone should still eat and drink After lunch, Amun, who was a little tired from playing with Maya, had to squeeze into Lubi's arms to take a nap after eating, and when Krent wondered how her plump body could squeeze into Lubi's arms, she became smaller again, and he couldn't help but sigh that it was really a convenient body.
Then he set his sights on Ruby's partner, the werewolf was still grinding his claws after eating, even if the combat effectiveness was not strong, Wolf did not give up the maintenance of the weapon, once he felt that the claws were a little blunt, he would carefully polish them, and he relied on this pair of claws to protect Amon until he met Ruby.
"Do you need help, I can sharpen your claws."
Krent knew it would be rude to keep an eye on the paws of other werewolves, so he quickly explained his abilities to Wolfe.
"Then I'll bother you."
Wolf did not refuse Krent's kindness, and placed a pair of beastly wolf claws in front of Krent, while the dark elf youth pressed his fingers to the wolf claws and chanted a spell, and soon the power called enchantment caused the wolf claws to turn from black to metallic silver.
"With this power, I can even take back the position of deputy commander of the Demon King Army from Ruyue!"
Feeling the change in his own strength, Wolf grabbed the ground, and easily left five scratches on the branches, and the werewolf youth who gained strength was extremely inflated, and immediately went to challenge Ruyue to regain his position, but of course Ruyue was slapped to the floor with a sword body when he got serious.
Krent couldn't help laughing, and he also had a general understanding of the character of Ruby and his party, and he had read countless people, and he could see that none of them were bad people, and there was no deliberate disguise, so that he could also trust Her Majesty to him.
At this time, neither Krent nor Queen Maya expected that something like that would happen in the near future.
It was the day when Ruby and his party were about to leave the Dark City, the sky was gray and drizzling, and before they could greet Maya, they were 'invited' to the main hall where Queen Maya was located.
In the main hall, Meia and Sharpen were arguing, Crent stood aside and didn't know who to help, and when he saw Lubi coming, his eyes were more complicated, and Lubi, who didn't know why, knew what had happened in the Dark City recently.
It was a plague, to be precise, a malignant infectious disease, the dark elves infected by the virus fell into a state of fever and coma, in fact, the virus did not just begin to spread, but began for several days, but at first no one paid attention to it, thinking that it was just an ordinary cold and fever, until more and more dark elves were infected, and in just one week, 100,000 dark elves fell into a coma.
The dark elves who couldn't bear it anymore finally began to panic, and with it came rumors, I don't know if it was deliberately spread or what, the rumors that the plague was caused by humans are more and more, and they are becoming more and more true, and the Dark Elf Elders will estimate that the time when the virus begins to spread is exactly the time when Lu Bi enters the Dark City.
Actually, this doesn't make sense, because the secrecy Maya didn't say Ruby's identity to any of the dark elf civilians, except for the senators and Krent, there was no dark elf knowing that a human had mixed in, and they didn't know anything about Queen Maya's fiancΓ©'s race, and it was worth speculating about how they learned that humans were spreading the plague.
"Meia! Do you still want to protect humanity now? β
Sharpen's whole body was trembling, he had said that letting humans into the Dark City would definitely cause a disaster, but Meiya just didn't listen, look at now, those poor dark elves are in danger of dying at any time, this is all brought by Meiya's disobedience.
"I... Ruby wasn't that kind of person. β
Meiya's face was pale, her clenched fists were also bloodless because she was too hard, she wanted to defend Ruby, but, no matter how she found the people who did not belong to the Dark City, they were only their group, as for the people in the clan, she really couldn't think of any dark elf who would kill her own people, and her heart believed everyone in Ruby's team, but she couldn't speak for him in words and deeds, and fell into the pain of contradictions.
"Isn't it? So how do you explain why the beginning of the plague has traces of him, the streets he went to are all the places where the plague began to spread, and the places he hasn't been to are still fine. β
Sharpen's only eye was bloodshot, and it was clear that the patriarch truly loved his people, and what he said made Maya's defense even pale.
"I suggest that this group be immediately taken into prison and tortured, and asked for a cure for the plague!"
As soon as Sharplen spoke, Lubi knew that this was a despicable conspiracy, a conspiracy against him, and he turned to see that Amun, Ruyue, and Wolf were all there, but the ghost was nowhere to be seen.
