Chapter Ninety-Three: The Beginning of the Calamity

Li Tianrui asked, "Where have all the people around here gone, and why are so many rooms empty?"

The steward said, "Most of them left a few days ago, some of them went to take refuge, but most of them were sent by the duke to do some business. ”

"What are they going to do?" asked Li Tianrui.

"Well, I don't know. After all, if it was the Duke's arrangement, no one would ask too much. The butler said, "Our master is also a knight, and knows that you should not ask for orders that do not belong to you. ”

Li Tianrui asked again: "Then why aren't their families here?"

Anar said: "It's not surprising, most of them have their own fiefs outside the city, and many of them should have sent their families back to their fiefdoms or hometowns before the war, and they stayed in the city to wait for dispatch." ”

Li Tianrui asked, "What about your family?"

"That's the case, right now, our head of the house, Lord Astra, several attendants and guards are at home.

Li Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief, the fewer people, the smaller the scale of the plague: "I need to meet your family master." ”

"This ......," the butler was a little embarrassed, "My lord, our head of the family has been feeling a little unwell since last night, and I am preparing to go outside the city to seek help from the Temple of Nature." ”

When Li Tianrui and the others heard that the head of the family was sick and needed the help of the Natural Temple, their hearts were all nervous.

The Natural Temple near Greenwood City is a large temple, and the temple is not in the city, but on a hill two kilometers away from Greenwood City.

This is not uncommon in natural temples, and ancient cities like Greenwood City often don't have much space to rebuild them. Therefore, the builders of the nature temple will arrange the temple in the suburbs, so that the temple is more in line with nature.

However, no one will turn to the temple for help for minor illnesses and pains, because the cost of asking the priests of the temple of nature to help is not small, in addition to the necessary money, sometimes the temple will also put forward various requests for manpower and material donations. Since the butler said so, it means that the knight named Astra is seriously ill.

At this time, of course, Li Tianrui would not let him go outside the city. He said: "Now the city has been closed because of the arrest of the spies. You can't get out right now, but I have a mid-level Rain Dew Priest of the Elven Clan here, and she doesn't know how to heal worse than the main priest of the Nature Temple. ”

Seeing that the butler was still hesitating, he said again: "Let's go to your master, the sooner any disease is treated, the better." ”

The housekeeper didn't dare to offend Li Tianrui, so he obediently led them into the courtyard.

Li Tianrui asked, "Your family master is the strongest person in this house, right?"

"Of course. The butler nodded, "Lord Astra is a mid-level knight. ”

"Isn't anyone else sick here?"

The housekeeper was stunned and said, "No others, just him." Master Astra is in good health, and has never been sick, but this time he doesn't know what happened, and suddenly fell ill. ”

"It's strange, Dou Qi should be able to fight these diseases. The stronger the person, the more they should be able to resist the attack of this virus and kill them with the magic in their fighting spirit. How could the strongest fall first?" said Anal softly.

Li Tianrui observed the structure of the two-story house and found that some of the room windows were facing the courtyard where the corpses were hidden, and they were still open.

He stretched out his hand to a window on the second floor and asked, "Whose room is that?"

"The windows in that direction were the rooms where our master and his family lived, and the one with the open windows was Lord Astra's own bedroom, and beside it was his children's room, but they all went back to their hometown with Madame. For the past two days, the master has lived here alone, and he is in it now. The butler said.

"No wonder, it turns out that their homeowners have been exposed to germs for the longest time. Anal said.

They went into the house and followed the butler to the living room, and the butler wanted to invite them to sit down for a while and then inform the master. Li Tianrui said: "How can there be a reason to let patients go downstairs to welcome guests." Show me the way and let's go to the patient's room. ”

"My lord, this ......"

"You should assume that this is the new lord's request. Anal said from the side.

When everyone saw Astra lying on the bed, they knew that the epidemic had really begun. Astra's face was dotted with black dots, large and small spreading from the head and neck down to the face, and there were also many spots on his exposed arms.

Magna said, "It's them, I feel the power, it's not just an ordinary black spot, it's a disease of demonic bacteria." ”

In order to get Arsenal's cooperation, Li Tianrui did not hide the situation of this disease, but selected some of the situations they found so far and some more confident guesses to tell the other party.

"My lord, are you saying that I may have a very dangerous plague?" Astra was visibly terrified, and his voice even trembled a little.

Li Tianrui said: "Yes, I want you to cooperate with His Excellency Magna's treatment, I said earlier that this disease is a new demonic mutation, and we must go through some experiments to determine what kind of method is effective." ”

"But my lord, according to what you say, do the other people in my house also get this disease, including my butler Neymar?" Astra looked at the housekeeper and a maid next to him, and the two of them looked very frightened when they heard Li Tianrui's words.

"That's right, according to my plan, all the families who have had sick people in the house must be quarantined, and you can keep people who are willing to take care of you, but everyone else will have to go to the quarantine camp we have set aside in the city to observe for a day or two to see if they will also get sick. For those who stay, we will instruct them to make protective tools such as masks. But they will run a greater risk of getting sick from the infection. As soon as Li Tianrui's words fell, the maid on the side fell down as soon as her feet were weak.

Magna leaned forward to take a look and said, "She already had that kind of infection, and it was relatively weak, but as soon as I got closer, I felt it, and it seems that the initial symptom was fatigue. She had just fainted from the start, and it seemed that she was on bed rest. ”

"My lord, this ...... Do you want us to take care of her?" asked the butler.

Li Tianrui looked at the girl who fell to the ground, hardened his heart and said to the housekeeper: "We currently don't have the manpower to take care of the sick patients, so even if there are new patients among you, this can only be solved by yourself." But remember, the new government treats everyone equally, and I hope you don't do stupid things because of your status. ”
