Chapter Ninety-Six: The Plague of Arashi
"Taking advantage of people's danger is not a gentleman's doing." Cheng Xiaotian sat on the grass, twitched his nose, and said with a sad and angry face.
In front of him was the still burning town of Sweet Water Well, now the morning sun was rising, and after a night of burning, the fire finally began to gradually weaken.
Manranor lay not far from him, waving his hand weakly: "You were unconscious, I was waking you up, it turned out that the effect was very good......"
Cheng Xiaotian thought about it very seriously when he heard this, got up and walked in front of Manlanor, and said with a gentle smile: "Wake up the unconscious person, you should ...... like this"
With that, his face changed suddenly, and he grabbed Manranor's collar with both hands and lifted it into the air, shaking back and forth with his death. Manla Noel was as soft as a noodle, where could he withstand such a ravage#, and from time to time he rolled his eyes with a cry of "oh oh".
In terms of recovery ability, the paladin is not as good as a cultivator, not to mention a weak mage, Cheng Xiaotian's physical strength has now recovered seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and Manranor will be weak for a long, long time...... I don't know how long......
"Stop! What are you doing?! A scream came from the sky, and when I looked up, a void ray swooped down with its wings folded.
Without waiting for the Void Ray to stop, Vanessa jumped down and rushed to Manranor's side, grabbed Manranor by the collar, and continued to shake the stubble......
Cheng Xiaotian got up indifferently and said, "He fainted just now, and he can shake him up with a little more force, I'm sure!" β
Vanessa shook her head even more vigorously when she heard this, and cried out with sorrow in her mouth: "Daddy! Father! β
"Go, go!" Manranor waved Vanessa's hand away, got up with a bone, and shook it three times before he could scold.
"You two are not good!" Manranore gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, scolding half of it again, and continued to shake the stubble......
Seeing this, Vanessa immediately shrank to the side and said no more.
Cheng Xiaotian turned his back, clasped his hands, and looked at the sweet well full of smoke and fire.
"Stop making a fuss, it's time for us to get down to business." Cheng Xiaotian said.
"Business?" Hearing this, Manranor finally stopped shaking, his face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "About what you did to the little girl...... I had every reason to kill you! Ay...... Don't get excited. β
Can Cheng Xiaotian not be excited? At the mention of it, he wanted to cry.
"I'll be that for you?!" Cheng Xiaotian turned to Vanessa and yelled with a crying voice.
Vanessa sat on the ground and looked at her nose and nose, and when she heard the words, she "snorted" with the back of her head and turned her head away.
Manranor continued: "I told you not to get excited, young man, if you are excited, it will be bad, no, something is wrong, right? I think I was just impulsive back then, and the result was ......"
Speaking of this, Manla Nuoer glanced at his "result" unnaturally, and Cheng Xiaotian nodded secretly, suddenly realized.
Vanessa glared back, and with a murderous breath, the two men quickly coughed and turned away.
Manranore continued: "Young people, it's understandable to make mistakes, the key is to have the courage to take responsibility, then you are still a good boy, I mean, you know? β
Manla Nuoer was kind and indescribably kind, Cheng Xiaotian only felt that he seemed to be holding a shovel in his waving hand, and he was digging a spade around him, getting deeper and deeper......
"Uncle, there's really no ...... about this," Cheng Xiaotian said with a sad face.
Hearing this, Manlanuoer's father and daughter glanced at each other, looked at Cheng Xiaotian together, and said earnestly: "This thing, it really exists." β
Cheng Xiaotian suddenly woke up to the fact that in the face of this father and daughter, all explanations were in vain, so he simply let it go, anyway, time will prove his innocence!
I have to say that he is still too naΓ―ve, and the development of things will far exceed his imagination.
"I'm not going to tell you this, let's get down to business, do you know the next move of the orc coalition?" Cheng Xiaotian took the initiative to divert the topic.
Manranor and Vanessa glanced at each other, their faces became heavy, and said: "Since it is a family, then I must help you, let me tell you the truth, this guy Short has been spreading the virus in the Arathi Basin for several days, and now how many people have been infected with the poison and turned into rotting corpses, I am afraid it is impossible to count." β
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaotian's hairs stood up all over his body, there are more than 20,000 residents in the Arashi Basin, most of them are hard-working civilians, how can he do it? !
"The Orc Empire dared to do such a thing in order to kill me?!" Cheng Xiaotian got up abruptly and asked sharply.
Manranor's face also became ugly, and he shook his head and said with difficulty: "Don't look at orcs so dirty, in fact, in my personal opinion, they are far brighter than humans, and this action is actually a private decision made by Tudor and Schott." β
"They will be judged by this land!" Cheng Xiaotian gritted his teeth and said, slowly sat back on the grass, raised his hand and slapped it heavily, and the earth shook in response.
The wind blew the grass like a wave, whimpering, and everyone told about the sins that had happened in this land, and the three of them listened to the wind and fell into silence at the same time.
After a long time, Cheng Xiaotian slowly stood up, looked to the southeast, and said: "I need a messenger to inform the people of this grassland, let them go to the Bella Valley for refuge, as for those who have been poisoned, they can only be purified by fire......
Speaking of this, Cheng Xiaotian clenched his fists and trembled, and lowered his head.
"You...... Do you know the reason for the fall of the Prince of Arthas? Manranor shook his head and said in a dumb voice.
Cheng Xiaotian was silent and nodded.
Arthas-Minethir, the former Prince of Lordaeron, the most beloved son of Terenus Minethil II, and the great paladin of whom all the human race is proud. He has made countless feats of war, defended the glory of the human race with holy light, but in the fight against the plague of the undead, he set fire to the infected villagers, thus planting the bane of depravity.
Cheng Xiaotian doesn't think that he did anything wrong, and he doesn't think that he will follow in the footsteps of the prince with a weak heart, who am I? I'm Cheng Xiaotian! When you go crazy, you're scared of yourself!
"That's it!" Cheng Xiaotian turned around and forced to look at Manranor, and the powerful firewalker couldn't help but avoid his gaze in the face of his crazy eyes, not daring to look at him.
"I'll put this fire." Manranor said with a sigh.
"I'll go with you......" Vanessa quietly rubbed to Cheng Xiaotian's side, and stopped talking, the meaning was obvious, I would go wherever you go.
Cheng Xiaotian hurriedly flashed to the side, pointed to the southeast and said: "The road below, I can only walk alone, I want to go to the former residence, Luohammer Town!" β
Manranor shook her head at Vanessa, who stepped aside.
But as Manranor said, as they talked, the Arathi Basin was in a panic that had never been seen before. Unknown plagues spread across the savannah, and those who were infected would not last a day before becoming soulless carrions who attacked all the creatures they came across, spreading the terrible disease in relay.
In the beginning, people reluctantly killed their loved ones who had become monsters in the hope that the epidemic could be brought under control. Although the move was dangerous, it didn't work much, as more and more people became infected, and soon the collapsed people began to flee, wandering the uninhabited grasslands, leaving their homes to the dehumanized rotting corpses.
All of them are homeless.
