Chapter 140: The Town
The day after Dogmeat followed Andy out of the shop, they had already arrived in the town of Leon, located west of King's Landing, and as soon as they walked into the town's confines, they could sense that something was not quite right in the town. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
First of all, there are almost no pedestrians on the streets, you know, this is a town with a population of several thousand, it is impossible for no one to walk outside, but it is the morning, it is the time when everyone is doing foreign labor, and only a few people can be seen on the streets of the town scattered and hurrying by.
Even the dog meat that was walking outside put away the joy of running around as if he had been free a day ago, and followed the carriage closely, as for the big greyhound, now he has almost become the dog's sidekick, and wherever the dog meat goes, the big greyhound will follow.
Obviously, Dog Meat has received another little brother, and the forehead is ...... As for its first little brother, it was naturally the Hatch of the Titans and Tibit Brothers.
"Dismount. Walking around the town for a while, Jin Jiazi suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the horse, he commanded.
The knights in silver armor rolled off their horses, and they led their horses around the town for a short time, and finally stood in front of a sign.
"Nanus, Kurt, Sears, Collander, Suthor ......" Jin Jiazi, who was standing at the front, looked at a piece of paper hanging on the billboard, with names written in crooked handwriting on it, and at the top of this paper, a line of large characters stood out - the plague death list in Leon Town.
"Look, Lord Bishop. Jin Jiazi stepped out of the way and let Andy stand in front of the billboard.
"So many?" Andy counted, there were seventy-two names on the paper, which means that in just a few days, seventy-two people in Leon Town have died due to the plague.
Perhaps the oppressive atmosphere in the city is due to the plague.
Andy looked around, he had heard from the priest who had rushed back to King's Landing to report that nearly fifty people had been healed since they arrived in the town, so now it seems that the number of people infected with the plague in Leon Town is far more than that.
This time it was Bishop Andy who came in person, and after he came to Leon Town, in addition to asking the residents of the city who were already sick to come and receive the holy water, another task was of course to meet with the priests who were tied up by the mob at that time, and for two days, Andy in King's Landing did not know what the status of these priests was.
However, after all, it had been a day or two, and after the mob had left, they must have been loosened by the townspeople, but now Andy was not a familiar face.
However, just when Bishop Andy thought it was strange, the door of the room behind the sign suddenly opened, and a white-haired old man poked his head out of it, and he immediately panicked to close the door when he saw a large group of knights standing outside.
However, this action did not escape the eyes of the knights, and a knight in silver armor immediately rushed over, drew the knight's sword at his waist before the old man closed the door, and jammed the door.
Seeing this, Bishop Andy also immediately walked over, he looked at the old man standing in the room, and said: "Don't be afraid, we are from King's Landing, these are the knights of the Red Keep, I am the bishop of the Temple of Light in King's Landing, we are here to help you." ”
Andy motioned for the knights to take a few steps back to ease the old man's nervousness, and only after seeing the silver-armored knights retreat outside the courtyard did the old man speak, "Father, are you from King's Landing?"
"Yes, can you tell me what's going on here?" Andy said, "As you may know, just two days ago, our temple sent a dozen priests to your town to treat patients infected with the plague. ”
"Then what are you here to do this time?" the old man looked very cautious.
"Last time, the priests were kidnapped by a group of thugs before they could finish the prepared holy water, and you should know about it. Andy was anxious, but he tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.
The old man looked Andy up and down for a long time, then looked at the knights standing behind him, and after confirming it again, he said, "Lord Bishop, the priests who came to us before have been promoting that in the town since they were untied by the townspeople...... Keeping the way to keep the plague clean, the priests should be scattered around the town now, counting the number of sick townspeople. ”
"I see. Andy breathed a sigh of relief, when he saw the atmosphere in the town, he even thought that something had happened to the priests, and Andy was also very satisfied that the priests were actively going to the townspeople to promote these things, but their holy water had been robbed, and it was still a bit dangerous to do so......
"But why don't you see anyone outside the town?" asked Andy again.
"That's right, Father Priest has told us not to go out for a while now, this plague called the plague is very contagious, and by now hundreds of people have died in the town. "After the priests came, the names of the sick and dead were written on the bulletin board. ”
"Well, I just saw that. Andy said, "But I've already brought new holy water, and you've probably heard that holy water can cure this disease, so you don't have to worry too much." ”
"You have brought new holy water!" the old man suddenly became emotional when he heard this, and he said, "Lord Bishop, two days ago, I was revived by the holy water! At that time, I was almost left with one breath, but the priest gave me two cups of holy water, and after drinking it, I immediately recovered!"
"Your Holy Water, Your Holy Water, Your Excellency, is truly amazing!"
Andy hurriedly shook his hand that was waving in front of him excitedly, and said, "Since we are already here, the townspeople can rest assured, with the holy water given by the goddess of light, any plague can be cured." ”
Although Jin Jiazi is the captain of the team this time, but that is also when chasing the thugs, in the town, the knights still have to listen to Andy's orders, Andy turned around and said to the first Jin Jiazi: "Knight, leave the affairs of the town to our temple, you just need to leave the two knights here to assist us." ”
"Hmm. Jin Jiazi nodded and promised, after all, including himself, there were as many as eight knights who came over this time, if it was an ordinary situation, eight well-trained knights could easily defeat thirty or more mountain bandits, and listening to the report that came back, the people who participated in the robbery of the holy water were only more than ten town residents, and even, the leading golden armor knight thought that he could bring at most two more subordinates to completely destroy the rabble.
Therefore, he decisively named two people in the team and asked them to stay and assist the priests, and their main task was naturally only one, that is, to protect the safety of the priests.
After learning something from the old man, Andy was about to go with the two knights to find other priests, but the old man grabbed Andy again, lowered his voice, and said, "Lord Bishop, in fact, a strange thing has happened in the past two days......
"What?" asked Andy.
"The people who died of the plague in the town had always been placed on the wasteland outside the town, and were about to be burned with fire, but ......," said the old man, after a pause, "and when the dry wood was ready at dawn the next day, he found that the corpses were gone. ”
