The distant sky gradually showed a little white like a fish's belly, and Hoffman saw that the dilapidated wooden door was closed, and then he picked up the bag on his back and walked forward.

It was not surprising to him that he did not encounter any pedestrians along the way on a cold morning, as he had deliberately chosen this time to set off.

But when he walked to the beach, he looked at the empty dock and was stunned.

On normal days, those fishermen go out to sea to fish or merchants carry goods choose this time, and the dock is definitely the busiest time, but today...

"Quick! load everything up, let's get out of here. ”

Seeing the merchant Buckle and his family and boatmen carrying large bags and small bags on his cargo ship, Hoffman hurriedly walked up.

"Mr. Buckle, are you going to King's Island, and I wonder if I can take it?"

"Go away! Before Hoffman could get to the ship, he heard the rough refusal of the merchant Buckle.

"I can pay for it. ”

"You can't pay, go away!"

......

Looking at the dock, which was still empty except for this ship, Hoffman gritted his teeth and put down his backpack.

"I have a fine ferret that I caught some time ago, and I can sell it to Mr. Buckle at a low price. ”

Scott, who had wanted to drive the little hunter away as soon as possible, immediately closed his mouth when he saw this mink fur, which was as white as snow and smooth and smooth.

Such a rare and fine product, if sold to those Yarla, can definitely make a lot of money.

"Come on, but don't move around, you can stay at the stern. ”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Backer. ”

......

Handing the ferret to a boatman, Hoffman looked at Thor's Island, which had become a small dot behind him, and asked, "Billy, what's going on?" ”

"You don't know?" said Billy, the boatman, with an inexplicable glance, "there are many people on the island who have suffered from a bad disease, and yesterday the Bull Hoy family all died of illness. ”

"But that's not all, the Scotts, the Odinson family... Someone has fallen ill and died. Another boatman interjected.

"I heard that there are people from other tribes who have this disease, I don't know how many people have died, alas!"

"Is this the plague?" Hoffman hurriedly asked, listening to the boatmen's words becoming more and more terrifying.

......

Perhaps it was finally someone who said the word, and the boatmen looked at each other in horror for a moment, before someone whispered, "Kindly... Like. ”

"What do you mean? Didn't you notice that Mr. Bakker was here to move out of Thor's Island?"

"Oh my God, how can a good person break out of a plague?"

"Do you think this was brought by the Calamity Dragon?"

"Calamity dragon, the black dragon?"

"Possibly, Rael predicted some time ago that it would bring disaster and disease......"

"We'd better stay away from those Dragon's Tongue Island people lately, and now that black dragon is their island. ”

......

Plague?Black Dragon?Far from Dragon's Tongue?Damn, how could this be?Hoffman squatted on the boat with a sluggish expression.

Two days ago, he had just learned that Tequila was recruiting workers through a newspaper that someone else had brought back from other tribes.

Not only was there food and shelter, but he was also paid one kroner a month, which was much better than risking his life every day to hunt in the forest.

And those tribes who are friendly with Tequila have been learning about dragons recently, and the results have been remarkable.

This knowledge would certainly be very useful for a hunter like him who often encounters all kinds of dragons in the forest, but because of Orodeyar's opposition, the sale of newspapers and the promotion of dragons have been banned on Thor's Island.

So with the attitude of changing his past life, Hoffman decided to go to Tequila Island to find a job and learn more about dragons by the way, but now he ......

He scratched at his hair in pain.

His wife and infant children are still on Thor Island.

The Lannister landed on the beach of Kings Island with Maggie in tow.

If, as usual, they had just arrived here, they would have been surrounded by people who were asking for nylon fishing nets, but today not only did no one come to buy them, but some familiar merchants turned around and walked away after seeing them.

What's going on?

Maggie looked at the bazaar, which was almost half as empty as before, and looked at the Lannisters with some confusion.

"Lenny, I'm here to sell fishing nets, you go around and hear what's going on. ”

Lannister nodded in understanding.

Shortly after the Lannisters left, Maggie finally welcomed her first customer, "Old Cole, you're selling fishing nets again......"

Handing the net to Cole Sr., Maggie couldn't help but ask her doubts about the day.

"Recently, a strange disease has broken out in many tribes! This strange disease is hot and cold, and then it will die in more than 20 days, or at least three days, and there is no cure ......for it."

On the other hand, the Lannisters heard the same thing, and he noticed that people who encountered him and his dragon would leave as if they were avoiding disaster.

This made him think very confusedly, everything is so abnormal today.

"Oops, you don't have long eyes when you walk!"

Seeing the Viking who had been knocked to the ground, Lannister suddenly came back to his senses, he hurriedly helped the man up, and then apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I just lost my mind......"

But before he could finish speaking, he immediately shook his head and hurriedly closed his mouth, and the Viking was also stunned, and then quickly shook off his hand and ran away without looking back.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Hot and cold, mouth and nose herpes, general weakness?

When Maggie and Lannister had left, Green sat down at the wooden table and pondered, where did he seem to have heard of the symptoms of this strange disease!

"Xiao Linzi, do you still need to think about this? It is so contagious, and there is only one plague with this symptom - malaria. ”

Malaria?

Hearing Nieber's words, Green suddenly grew his mouth in astonishment, "Shouldn't this infectious disease be common in the temperate tropics and those areas where there are more mosquitoes?"

"Hehe, you said it yourself, just because it's common in the temperate tropics, it doesn't mean it won't appear in subarctic regions. ”

"But malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes, and there don't seem to be any mosquitoes here. Green was reminded of another feature of malaria.

"Hehe, you kid still like to use the scientific theories of the original world to judge things in the other world," Nebo sneered, "I told you a long time ago that you can learn from it, but you shouldn't be completely substituted." This is another world! Who ever told you that malaria in this world is exactly the same as it is on Earth? Aren't they mutating? Aren't they spreading in other ways?"

"The root cause of malaria is an insect-borne infection caused by the malaria parasite, and mosquitoes are only their vectors, is it the only one that can suck blood and bite people?"

Dumbfounded by Nibel, Green couldn't help but touch his nose, and then sat on the chair and thought for a long time before he understood what Nibel meant.

"What you're trying to say is... Flea?!" Green stood up with a stunned face on his face.
