The First Virus War in History (Part II)
On the third day, just as Chen Shu and the ghost car were about to leave the Red Feather Country and enter the Penglai Kingdom, a terrible plague suddenly swept through the Demon Continent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At first, a mage had a high fever and invited a wood mage to treat it, but it didn't work.
Soon, the mages who had come into contact with the sick mages also began to fall ill, and the plague spread from word to piece.
The small-scale onset of the disease did not attract the attention of the mages, after all, there had been no plague in the Demon Continent for many years, and even if there were, most of them spread among mortals, and would not affect the mages.
Until a prominent nobleman of the Black Zelie Kingdom was also infected.
Naturally, the treatment of nobles is a world-famous eighth-order wood-based mage, but even if there is an eighth-order cultivation, the wood-based mage is helpless.
That's when people began to face up to the plague.
No one knows what caused the plague, only that this time the plague only spread among mages.
In the first 24 hours of infection with the plague, the infected person had a high fever that did not go away, and after 24 hours, his consciousness began to become blurred, and lumps appeared on his body, and after 36 hours, the lumps broke one after another, and the infected person was covered in bloody flesh and blood, and the pain was unbearable, and even soft thoughts were produced. Many of the infected mages did not survive 72 hours.
Since the plague only spreads among mages, many of the managers of cities, towns, and villages are mages, and once these managers are infected with the plague, the places they manage will be plunged into small commotions. The oppressed mortals seemed to see the hope of turning over and becoming the masters, and began to attack the mages in an organized manner.
The royal families kept the palace close to protect themselves from infection, and on the other hand, they put up bounties for those who could cure the plague.
Among the Seven Kingdoms, the most infected mages are Kurosei and Akabane Country, these two countries are located in the center of the Demon Continent, and the most people come and go, when the royal families of the two countries began to pay attention to this plague, the plague has spread in the two countries, and there is no point in partition isolation. The royal families of the two countries are in a hurry.
On this day, a bad news and a good news were sent to the queen of Akabane Province at the same time.
The bad news is that Princess Celestia Frost is also infected with the plague.
At first, it was the eldest princess's personal maid water chestnut who fell ill, and it didn't attract attention until half of the mages in the palace where Frost lived fell ill, and Frost began to have a high fever, and people panicked.
This is the first time since the outbreak of the plague that a member of the royal family has been infected, and it is a bolt from the blue for the queen of Akabane Province.
The good news is that Rong Bao Zhai has an elixir that can cure the plague.
It is said that hundreds of alchemists of Rong Bao Zhai studied day and night, and finally refined an elixir that could cure the plague, and the first batch of elixirs had been distributed by Hei Zelie and cured dozens of people.
When the queen of the Red Feather Kingdom heard the news, her spirits were lifted, and she said to her subordinates: "Go and ask the shopkeeper of Rong Bao Zhai to come and treat my frost first." ”
The men stood in place in embarrassment.
"Why don't you go yet?!"
"Rong Bao Zhai...... I've already withdrawn from Akabane Country. ”
"What did you say?"
"Since the last auction, Princess Frost seems to have a holiday with Rong Bao Zhai, often deliberately embarrassed, acquiescing to the Kowloon Gang to seize Rong Bao Zhai's territory, when Rong Bao Zhai wants to regain the territory, Princess Frost ......"
The heart of the Queen of the Red Feather Country had sunk to the bottom, and she asked with a cold face, "But what?"
"Princess Frost detained more than 100 of Rong Bao Zhai's guards on the grounds of gathering a crowd to make trouble, and forced Rong Bao Zhai to withdraw from Akabane Country. Now we don't have a single Rong Bao Zhai in the Red Feather Country. ”
"Frost...... She actually ...... Hey!!" The queen of Akabane sat back on her throne.
Frost's behavior is, to put it bluntly, death.
After all, she is still too young to know how to restrain her edge. Rong Bao Zhai is like a thousand-legged centipede, if you cut off a few of its legs, it is not enough to hurt it, but it will take your own strength.
Such a behemoth can only cooperate, after all, there is no eternal love or hate in this world, only eternal interests, and to be able to take some more interests is to take revenge on it.
But now that the mistake has been made, as the queen of the Red Feather Country, she shouldn't bow her head to Rong Bao Zhai and admit her mistake, but as the mother of Frost, she must do this, only in this way can she save her daughter's life.
Having made up her mind, the queen of the Akabane Kingdom instructed the ministers who had followed her for many years: "I am going to the Kuroseri Empire, 5 days at the fastest, 10 days at the slowest, and everything in the Akabane Kingdom during this period will be entrusted to you." And also...... Take care of Frost, she must be alive when I come back, no matter what. ”
Black Zelie, the sun never sets.
The queen of Akabane and two guards arrived in the middle of the night.
She no longer cares about etiquette and the reserve that she should have as a queen of a country, and rushes to the crown prince's palace in a panic. Bingfeng and Sikong Haoyue had to hurry out of the bed to greet their mother who suddenly appeared - at this time, Bingfeng and Sikong Haoyue were already married.
As soon as she saw the ice phoenix, the tears that the queen of the Red Feather Kingdom endured all the way finally fell.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Bingfeng had never seen her mother like this for as long as she could remember.
"Frost...... Your sister ...... her."
"What's wrong with my sister?"
"She contracted the plague and couldn't last a few days. The Queen of Akabane was in tears.
Sikong Haoyue hurriedly stepped forward and said with relief: "Don't worry, Rong Bao Zhai has an elixir that can cure the plague, and Sister Shuang'er's illness will be cured soon." ”
Hearing this, the queen of the Red Feather Kingdom was even more depressed in her heart, so she had to tell how the frost embarrassed Rong Bao Zhai and how she forced Rong Bao Zhai away.
When Bingfeng heard this, she also became anxious, "Sister, why do you have to offend them?"
The eyes of both mother and daughter fell on Sikong Haoyue, hoping that he could find a way to save Frost.
Sikong Haoyue pondered while pacing: As soon as the Red Feather Kingdom offended Rong Bao Zhai, the plague broke out; the seven royal families were all safe and sound, only the frost princess who offended Rong Bao Zhai was infected; as soon as the plague broke out, Rong Bao Zhai refined the antidote, and it was too coincident......al, right? More like a premeditated plague against the Frost Princess.
Through this series of coincidences, Sikong Haoyue seems to see Chen Shu's figure.
He knew that Chen Shu and Rong Bao Zhai had always had something to do with it, and he also knew that Chen Shu was the only one who had the courage to set up such a big game of chess today.
Maybe this plague has other purposes, but Sikong Haoyue hasn't figured it out for a while.
Seeing that Sikong Haoyue was silent, Bing Feng had no choice but to ask, "What can you do?"
Sikong Haoyue knew that he had snubbed Bing Feng in front of the Queen of the Red Feather Kingdom, so this was not right, so he hurriedly said: "If it is an ordinary commodity, it is not difficult to buy it, but this elixir to deal with the plague is difficult to find." ”
"Why is that? Could it be that the elixir is very scarce and expensive?"
"It's not expensive, most of the pills are even directly distributed for free, but in order to avoid people taking the opportunity to hoard pills and raise prices, Rong Bao Zhai is very strict about the distribution and sale of pills, and this initiative has also been supported by the royal families of various countries. Take Hei Zelie as an example, hundreds of guards in the city where the sun never sets have been transferred to distribute pills, and these people have conducted a thorough house-to-house inspection of the city and found that there are infected mages, so they will distribute the pills to the infected and those who have been in contact with the infected. ”
"That doesn't mean you can't get a pill. Bing Feng said.
Sikong Haoyue had already changed into the clothes he wore when he went out, "Of course, it's not difficult to save Sister Shuang'er, I'll go and get the pill and let people send it to Sister Shuang'er overnight, but if you want to control the spread of the plague in the Red Feather Country, you must think of repairing the relationship between the Red Feather Country and Rong Bao Zhai, I'm afraid I can't do anything." ”
