Chapter 142: The Order Reversed
The spread of bloodstain syndrome in Bansa is far worse than Roland had imagined.
After emerging from the Stubborn Oak Lock, and crossing the swamp, Roland was greeted by a lifeless villageβnot even a single person in it.
The hoe and ox cart were thrown directly into the field. But not a single creature is to be found, let alone cows and people who plough the land. The silence is frightening.
The damp ground took on a sickly, lifeless yellow. The trees withered and rotted, and the damp, collapsed bark was covered with dark red blood-red nicks. The strange sour smell of wood soaked in water and rotting echoed in the air.
"It's ......"
Gahalad looked hesitant and looked back at Roland.
Jano, who followed him, replied in a low voice, "Knight...... That's what we're talking about, that terrible plague. β
"It's supposed to be Carral's 'that' plague."
Roland looked at Gahalad, and his words were pointed.
Of course, he understood the meaning in Gahalad's eyes. What Gahalad meant was that this was the plague that Roland had cured.
Roland's answer to him was yes.
The characteristics of bloodstain syndrome are simply too obvious. Farina's creation of this plague already has a bit of a demonstrative meaning. It can be said that as long as you see that blood, you can identify this plague.
Roland groaned slightly, and then asked, "Have you figured it out, how did this plague get in?" β
From the point of view of an outside pastor, Roland should have asked this question.
The soldiers of the Shanlan Fortress are not fools. There is no way they can let an infected person from Caral enter the country. This was especially true after rumors of this rapidly contagious, deadly plague in Carral.
It is said that Her Majesty was forced to halt her long-planned attack on Caral. The plague, which had never been seen before, was so deadly, but because of this, it turned Caral into a hot potato. Civil strife and plague, everyone knows that the Duchy of Caral is weakened to the limit at this time, but they can't put their mouths on it.
Jeno sighed, "The only thing we know right now. It is the plague that must have come from the wind. β
"Wind? Monsoon? β
Lilia asked, confused.
Jeno nodded, "That's right, it's the monsoon." β
"Winter is coming to an end. Every year during the change of winter and spring, the monsoon winds blow from Karal to Titan and Bansa. In previous years, these monsoons bring the seeds and pollen of Carral. This is also the reason why there are so many flowers in the iris swamp...... Although this year these flowers are dead. β
"The first people to be infected with the plague were those who used to be allergic to pollen in early spring. Because of the symptoms that were much worse than in previous years, they were the first to notice the plague......" Jeno said. The conversation was suddenly cut off.
However, the authorities did not pay attention to this. Right. β
Roland said quietly.
Jano nodded wordlessly.
Actually, this is normal. They all know that this pot can't be thrown to the official side.
Before the news of the plague in Carral, no one could have thought of it directly because the illness of a group of allergy patients had worsened. Even if there is a plague, it is normal to evacuate the surrounding residents, create a quarantine zone, and check the surrounding water sources before eliminating the doctor.
However, it was too late to react when they were truly aware of the anomaly, or had received news of the plague infection on Karar's side.
"When did it start?"
Roland began by asking Jeno. Jeno only remembered for a moment, and then replied in a very affirmative tone, "It was a week ago. less than two weeks later. β
Well?
Roland frowned.
Wrong. The timing is wrong.
Although Roland was not in Bansar at that time. But just thinking about it, you should know that there must have been no monsoons at that time. Because a week ago, it was the coldest time.
It's different from what the Bansa people imagined. Although due to the problem of the barrier of Carral, at that time, Caral would indeed blow hot air to the surrounding countries. But in reality, it was the exhaust gas heated by the barrier, not the wind blowing from inside Carral.
In other words, the "warm wind" at that time could not have spores of bloodstain syndrome at all. Because before the snow stops. Caral is simply closed.
And according to the time, it is still unclear whether there was blood stain syndrome in Carral at that time. Roland knew more than anyone else. He knows it very well. The sick village of Ram is the source of the plague that has spread out of Karar. According to the analysis of the Plague Nest, Ram's plague has only begun to spread for about a week.
In other words, at the time when there were signs of bloodstain syndrome in parts of Bansa, there was no plague at all.
Jeno and the vast majority of Bansa people should have the same idea. They must have thought that when the plague appeared on Bansa's side, the whole country of Karar should be in the middle of the battle against the plague. Just because "bloodstain syndrome is spreading massively in the territory of Caral." three-quarters of the country has been covered", it would be wrong to regard Caral as the birthplace of the plague.
And in retrospect, why were the first infections to be the only ones with pollen infections? Maybe they will feel sick when they come into contact with pollen, but if the plague really comes with the wind, then it is nothing but them. There should be infected people who are not allergic to pollen.
As long as there are many such people, it is impossible for the official not to realize that there is a problem here.
So, there must be some way, one that only pollen infected people are exposed to - for example, allergy medications.
That's it...... Roland has probably understood the order in which bloodstain syndrome is really infected.
Before Falina threw the plague on the town of Ram, she had incorporated the spores of Bloodstain Syndrome into the vial of allergy treatment, and delivered the medicine back to Bansa.
If Roland is not mistaken, the man who helped Falina transport the plague is likely to be a speculative merchant who "reverses". It was the medicine that flowed from them that allowed the bloodstain syndrome to spread in Bansa.
The real source of the plague is actually in Bansa!
And the many - and perhaps other undead - are carrying the plague that has spread, only to turn the perception of other nations upside down. She wants them to think that Karal is where the plague began.
β¦β¦ But, what is Falina going to do? What's in it for her?
Isn't it possible that she is going to make Bansa dare not go to war against Karal? Are you kidding...... Far more people have been killed by the plague than in war.
But just as Roland was struggling, the temple of the God of Contracts arrived. (To be continued.) )

The second one seems to be dangerous again......
