Chapter 169: The Plague
"Hey, I just told the reader that there was an encyclopedia next to me, and you didn't know at all, how did you get me out of power! You must know something, right? There are so many followers in your sect, there are always one or two famous people, right?"
In the face of Lin Qiu's repeated questions, Phoenix also stiffened his neck and replied unconvinced: "What can I do!" Those people died quickly as soon as they were infected with the plague, and most of the rest escaped the plague under the protection of Medea, even those who were not infected with the plague were cut off from the water source by the neighboring villagers because someone in the village was sick, and they were isolated and starved to death in the village, only a small number of people fled to the deep mountains and old forests to survive, how could these people know about the Knights of the Round Table!"
The two of them quarreled noisily all the way, only to suddenly find that the guards of the imperial capital were whispering something together.
"I just heard that Princess Sophia is sick. ”
Just after the first half of the night, the soldiers of the second half of the night came from the barracks of the kingdom to change the guard with the garrison, and when they came, they brought news from the palace by the way.
After Prince Richard, even Princess Sophia fell ill.
Lin Qiu and Phoenix sneaked up on the city wall, eavesdropping on the conversation between the guards.
"If you're sick, you're sick, who hasn't been sick?" disagreed the soldiers stationed at the city walls.
"It's not an ordinary illness! I have heard that Princess Sophia is shriveled like a scarecrow at once! At this point, the soldiers from the palace lowered their voices a little more and whispered, "I heard from those court physicians that Princess Sophia's illness is a bit similar...... It's like being infected with the plague!"
"What?"
Several soldiers were sleepy when they heard this.
Even centuries later, the toll of the Black Death is still deeply rooted in people's hearts. During the years of the plague, people had become so mad that if one of the people in the village showed symptoms of the plague, they would nail the doors and windows of his house and move from village to village.
The tragic situation at that time was recorded in historical documents in 1510, and people who did not experience that era can understand it through various sources. If it weren't for the plague that infected Princess Sophia, I am afraid that she would have been "cleaned up" by the time she showed symptoms, and in general, the policy adopted by the nations at that time was that they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.
"I remembered when you said that! In the middle of the night I saw two suspicious guys pushing a cart out. ”
"Could it be someone who is already dead?" the soldiers from the palace looked horrified.
If someone dies, it means that the imperial capital is no longer safe.
Diseases and monsters are different, and the knights of the Church and Kingdom Army do not have the ability to insulate the plague.
"Or ...... Shall we run?"
"It's an idea, I'm going to pack my things and run together!"
Several people quickly dispersed, and Lin Qiu and Phoenix climbed the fence.
Distortion seemed to be real to Gawain's words, he did attack Princess Sophia, but he didn't expect the action to be so fast. Xia Noya's worries were not groundless, maybe the aberration had really spread the seeds of the plague, but out of some kind of constraint, he did not choose to let the plague break out at this moment.
And Gawain's defeat also proves one thing - the aberration at this moment is unkillable, and he can't be sure if it is really as the aberration said, as long as Xia Noya touches his true body, his ability can be eliminated. Taken together, this series of circumstances proves that the distortion is really almost unsolvable.
Not to mention that he was "confiscated" by Xia Noya for the engraving, even if the engraving of "Ukigaku" was still there, he couldn't get rid of the distortion.
With Lin Qiu's many years of experience, the only way to defeat such an enemy is usually ......
There is only a mouth.
"What is that?" said Phoenix.
Even she couldn't find a flaw in the aberration, and this "mouth escape" could actually defeat the aberration?
"Don't think about it, this kind of forbidden art-level trick can't be used by anyone, even if I have to charge it for a long time before I use it. ”
"Oh, you mean drawing circles, charging and things like that, I know all of that!" Phoenix held her head up, after all, she had fought with Gosya, the only one on the continent who could draw circles to beat people, and that unscrupulous saint always invented something strange to sin her.
"That's not right!"
Lin Qiu said in a deep voice: "Verbal escape at the level of promoting 'Love and Peace' will definitely have no effect on the aberration, and if I want him to be tricked, I must first find out what happened between him and Gao Wen." "As a master of the Oral Escape Realm (self-styled), Lin Qiu has mastered the essence of persuasion, among which his original 'Persuasion - Stuffy Stick' and 'Persuasion - Iron Fist' can always achieve miraculous results.
Phoenix thought for a moment, then shook his head vigorously, "No, I don't want to go back to church!"
The female demon Xia Noya is still in the church, and she doesn't want to become a roasted phoenix.
"Let's go to the palace first, maybe something will happen. ”
As the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, it is very likely that the aberration chose to stay in the palace after infecting Princess Sophia and observe the movements of the church and the kingdom army.
"Great idea!"
Phoenix raised her hands in agreement, and it seemed to her that as long as she didn't go to church and fell into the net, it was a good idea for her.
"Wait, you're ...... Tyre-Cyrius, right?"
When Lin Qiu and Phoenix sneaked down the city wall, someone suddenly stopped them. The visitor's entire body was embedded in the shadows, and even though he was wearing a mask, he looked nervously from side to side for fear that someone would recognize him.
The man who stopped the two was wearing a crane mask and had several fleshy wounds on his arms.
"Mask Four"!
Lin Qiu immediately guessed the identity of the other party, and according to Jeff's description, the four sides were bear head, crane head and a couple with snake heads. The couple was killed by Charnoya in the square, and he also met Bearhead in the barracks, who was supposed to be the last of the Mask Four.
“...... I've seen you talk to Lord Aberration for a long time, and I, I've got something important to tell you!"
The crane-faced man looked around and said hurriedly, "But this is not the place to talk, you come with me." ”
He was the only one left in the "Mask Four", and the bear head really turned into a giant monster at the door of the Don Quixote family according to the way the aberration said, and the knights of the Don Quixote family were vulnerable in front of the monster, and just when the monster was about to destroy the entire manor, a black-haired woman came, and she killed the monster that the bear head turned into in a gesture.
The city is full of wanted notices about them, and the crane-faced man can't contact the distortion, and he has reached the point of exhaustion.
Lin Qiu was his last hope.
"I know you don't trust me, but please listen to this story......"
