Chapter 220: Brave Heart

Luskan: Nimanasher, I'm really angry this time! Why do you dare to plant the plague on us without even investigating, without even evidence? It's really like there's no one on it!

Above: Did you do that?

Luskan: ...... Oh, yes.

*****

Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it......

As soon as Erebes walked out of the door of the Blue Palace, he saw another corpse lying on the side of the road not far away. I don't know if I walked there and fell, or if I was left there...... She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I can't complain that Nasher can't go out, because there is no clean place in the city.

Even the most loyal members of the Nasher guard, the two guards standing guard at the moment, stood as far away from the corpse as possible, with fear in their eyes. They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of dying of the plague, and when they die, they will be burned to ashes by a fire...... In this world, the burning of corpses is considered to have erased all traces from the world, and not even the soul remains.

Erebeth knew that understanding was wrong, but she said that few people would believe it.

Can she control the mouth that spreads rumors, and can she control the panicked heart?

In the cholera era, rumors can kill the wise. In the aftermath of the plague, popular anger needs an outlet, and political compromise needs a scapegoat...... Erebeth had already "died once" in the prophecy, and she didn't want to be the one who was sent to the gallows again.

Seeing Erebeth and the two paladins accompanying them, the guards were like seeing a savior, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Erebes's eyes turned into pleading!

Erebeth was also helpless, so he could only turn to the young paladin behind him and say, "You go and deal with it." ”

The paladin was very resistant, but he obeyed the order, and walked over and tied the corpse to his horse and dragged it away...... At this time, it is unrealistic to respect corpses, so it is better to take care of the living first.

Yes, if there is anyone in this city who is absolutely immune to the plague, it is the holy warriors of the major temples, not even the priests.

Since the Paladin is the sword of the Church, he needs to be in and out of various dangerous environments to risk his life to complete the mission. As a result, the Paladins do not have the Priest's powerful magical abilities, but they have a lot of powerful buffs through training and divine gifts, one of which is "immunity to disease" - as long as they have the Holy Power to protect them, they will not be infected with any diseases.

Of course, this is not a good thing...... It's like a firefighter is better equipped than the average person, but life is more dangerous.

This means that whether it is a plague or an earthquake, a cult invasion or a natural scourge of the undead, the paladins will always be on the front line, and the success rate and mortality rate will always be the highest.

Don't think that the plague is undead paladin. Although they are not infected with the virus, there is not only infection brought by large-scale plagues, but also large-scale chaos and war. Not to mention that Luskan was already fighting hard, just waiting for Neverwinter to deliver a fatal blow when it was at its weakest. Let's just say that the continuous riots and crimes in Neverwinter have to deal with hundreds of cases a day.

Erebeth was busy and killed...... But things still seem to be step-by-step, and they are being forced to develop in that direction "historically...... It was as if there was a pair of invisible hands pushing behind the back.

Across the street, Erebeth saw from a distance that Van Swick and several priests were distributing food to the refugees. The priests were all masked, and two holes were cut out of the place of the eyes. Only Vanswick was still dressed in the same clothes as usual, and he was not afraid of human contact at all.

Noticing Erebeth passing by, Vanswick paused, smiled and waved his hand in this direction, and the refugees around him followed suit with a rare smile.

The relationship between Erebis and Vanswick is now known to everyone in Neverwinter......

Erebeth is still firmly tied to Vanswick, and is not subject to the will of some people - at this stage, Vanswijk's good reputation reached its peak, and he worked tirelessly and persistently to help the sick without fear of the virus, saving the prestige of the church and making himself rise like a star, as if he became the hope and embodiment of saving Neverwinter together with the just Erebes......

Everyone blessed him and Erebes, but no one knew that in a few weeks, maybe in a few months, it would become a tightrope that would lift people out of the abyss.

At this moment, for the sake of the church or for the sake of giving hope to the people, Erebeth could not completely cut ties with Vanswick, because that would ruin everyone's expectations.

If she did, no one would understand her now – just as no one would want to understand her in a few months!

However, while caring for the sick, Vanswijk formed a strong friendship with the reverend Deszell, who fought side by side, and he had already run for his life on the road to death, never to return.

Sometimes, Erebeth really wanted to draw his sword and hack Deszel to death!

It's a pity that that's just a fantasy at all, and Shen Yan's analysis from a higher level has made her understand that the ultimate purpose of all this turmoil is actually to promote the Church of Tyre and the Church of Heim to an alliance.

The time to decide her and Vanswick's roles was not today, nor the moment when Tyr incarnated knocked on the door of the cabin, but much earlier than that.

Erebeth looked at Vanswijk from afar, finally brushing away the last trace of hesitation in his heart.

She resolutely turned to leave, and commanded the paladin behind her.

"How can there be a shortage of food in the city? It can't go on like this! Order all the people to shrink, no longer detain the criminal, and the recidivists will be killed! For the victims...... Only isolate and do not deal with it, and first concentrate all the manpower to ensure stability!

Before we can solve the plague, we must make sure that we can survive this time.

Reach out to Waterdeep and nearby towns for help with food and plague.

In addition, issue a city lord order to the entire territory of Neverwinter through the channels of the church, and recruit any brave who can solve the plague. As long as we can solve the problem, we will provide status, wealth, equipment...... No, just say we'll grant him all his wishes! ”

Her order means that the curtain of the generation of plots has finally opened, and the protagonist who will help her and bury her is about to appear on the stage.

Shen Yan looked at Neverwinter from the distant Crossroads Fortress, and he wondered who the person who was about to come to the front would be...... Is it a small person under the agitation of the great era, or another candidate prepared by the gods in advance.

*****

"Huh? What is this place? What about Shen Yan? Standing at the junction of Neverwinter, Red Moon pinched the small piece in one hand and looked around with a confused expression.

"Wait, this smell...... Am I back in the Great Morgue?! The smell of burnt flesh filled her nostrils, and Red Moon hid outside for months and did not dare to return to the slums, when she suddenly smelled a familiar smell that she had not heard for a long time.

She looked at the buildings around her and felt that it was not like it, but she looked at the gloomy and desperate expressions of the pedestrians who occasionally hurried by.

"What the hell is this ......"

"Are you an adventurer? Why not go to the bootcamp meetup? Forget it, come with me and speed up! The Commander will assign you a unified assignment today. A passing female guard looked Red Moon up and down and took her away.

"Were you sent by Shen Yan to pick me up?"

"No, who is Shen Yan?"

"Not anyone." Red Moon immediately shut up, thinking, hum, reckless, how could I leak the organization's secrets to you? "Who's that group over there?" Red Moon looked curiously at the combination coming across the street, two elves and dwarves, and even a half-demon in the middle!

"Hurry up, they're just like you, they're adventurers who have come to apply for the brave. But I don't like them, those people just caused a big mess in Neverwinter a while ago, and almost caused a war between Neverwinter and Luskan...... Let's put it this way, we have become so bad today, and we have to deal with the plague and guard against Luskan, half of the blame is on the group on the other side. ”

The female guard said angrily, but she still helped Arthur and the others explain.

"But they can't be blamed, after all, the Luskan people are too bad! They never have a bottom line......"
