Most of the time, the Camel Emperor was in this small, cramped room, with thousands of scrolls piled on the table, completely different from the richly decorated main hall.

In front of him was a large chair that did not fit into the hut, and at the moment the ruler of the Camel Empire was only pacing up and down in front of the awkward chair, refusing to sit on it.

"Come," the Camel Emperor seemed to think of something, and hurriedly beckoned his attendants in, "to prepare the holy oil and sacrifice." ”

An elderly camel squire walked in through the gate, and immediately left again—he knew where to send his things.

The office had three doors, two of which were visible to all: one was the door that the squire had just entered, and the other led to Caesar's bedroom with a hallway and staircase. Behind the third door is a secret passage that leads to the other side of the Temple of the Twin Peaks. Originally, six people knew about the existence of the secret passage, and five of them were the workers who built the secret passage, but unfortunately they all died of "accidents".

Dressed in the robes required for the Audience Ceremony, the Camel Emperor, oh no, he should be called the Camel God Priest at this moment, turned his head to look at the parchment piled up on the table with reports on the plague outbreak again, he took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the secret passage.

Of course, he knew how serious the epidemic was in the Great Oasis at this time, and even if the fatality rate of this plague was not high, if the infection was not treated in time, the sight of ulcering and dripping pus was still enough to make every patient have a mental breakdown.

The only cure that has been proven to be effective is for the Camel God Priest to perform healing magic. However, as mortals, after all, they need to rest and pray to replenish their divine arts, and their efforts seem to be a drop in the bucket in the face of the speed of the spread of the epidemic.

When he came to the temple where the camel god dwelt, anointed him with holy oil and offered sacrifices, he immediately poured the blood of the fresh Tabu sheep into the copper tripod in front of him, and then knelt down on the dreamlike desert in the temple, and threw himself to the ground.

"The spirit of the great ancestors, the bearer of the world's only land, the guide of the camels, the ruler of the deserts, the noble king of Bactrians, your most faithful servant," the lower lip of the chief priest of the camels touched the ground to show his humility, "the empire is in an unprecedented crisis...... I hope you can help me solve my current difficulties. ”

In the desert illusion in the center of the main hall, a camel carved out of crystal slowly rose from the ground, "My descendant," his voice was like an ancient well, without any waves, "Go and gather all the sick together, I will purify them and eliminate the ...... of the disease."

The "purification" promised by the camel god is really the eradication of the disease, not the meaning of "humane destruction".

In fact, that's all He can do.

As a deity of the race, the camel god could not ignore the camel people's desire to be "saved", nor could he "deliver" them without trying to help them.

It was a betrayal of the multiverse belief system, the consequences of which he couldn't even imagine.

But not everyone understands the secrets of such gods.

At this time, the great oasis of camels is full of fear, and it is not surprising that with a little guidance from people with a heart, suspicion and suspicion arise -

"Did you hear that?"

"What's the matter?"

"The priests gathered together all the people infected with the plague and prepared a large amount of firewood. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about...... Is that really the case?"

"Why are those Twin Peaks nobles infected so few times, and they can get treatment as soon as they get sick?"

......

Inside the Twin Peaks Temple, the Hump Emperor's face was gloomy like water. The riots and demonstrations that had come for several days had tired his heart, which he thought he was still young – but was no longer there.

The attendants, wrapped in white robes, swarmed to bring back news from the priest, and then quickly departed, taking with them the edicts signed by Caesar himself.

"It's like a white maggot, moving through the intestines. ”

I don't know why such a metaphor suddenly came to his mind, which made him feel a little frightened, and his uneasy emotions gushed out like a flood that opened the floodgates, and his limbs and bones became cold.

"Everything will be fine. The Camel Emperor comforted himself, just now the priests had already sent the news, with the cooperation of the Bactrian nobles and the elemental shamans, they had forcibly concentrated all the camel people infected with the plague, and now they were doing the final screening to prevent the missing infected, "As long as it is past today." ”

At the same time, all the camel priests are busy and busy, even the War Priests who have passed the job change and lost their use of healing-type magic are also involved, helping the rest of their colleagues to manage the concentrated patients and channel their emotions.

The Elemental Shamans lead a team entirely of Bactrian humpmen, following the oracle of the previous King of Bactrian to collect infected people who may be hidden by their families, and move them to quarantine camps without resorting to force as much as possible.

When all these preliminary preparations are completed, the camel god will personally use the divine power to eliminate every possible source of the plague and solve the plague once and for all. As for those "gossips", they will naturally not be attacked when the time comes.

After repeated screening, the last infected person was transferred to the quarantine camp, which has gathered more than 30,000 camels. Except for a few managers, the rest are patients, and among these patients, the slightly weaker dromedary humpones account for ninety percent.

Standing on the makeshift wall, a war priest looked at the infected lying on the ground with pity, and couldn't help but sigh, "Terrible war," feeling the questioning eyes of the other war priests around him, he quickly changed his words: "I...... I mean hateful enemies, and after that, we're going to get rid of those monsters!"

At this very moment, the "monsters" that make the war priests gnash their teeth - the army of the Dragonlord Clan led by the desert elf Bradge, and the steampunk half-lich who brought plague to the camel people are actually in the Great Oasis, and they are very close to them.

Because of the plague, a camel farm was temporarily abandoned by the farmer, and the dragon clan who had sneaked all the way through the day and night hid here, waiting for the opportunity.

Compared to the camel people, the physique of the kobold is indeed very ordinary, even if they took the antidote prepared by the ogre witch doctor Palu for the first time, after the outbreak of the plague, more than a dozen desert kobolds fell ill one after another.

Thanks to Sneiard's knowledge of the basic recipe for the potion: willow bark is boiled in vinegar juice, mixed with some artemisia annua extract, concentrated and drunk as is, in short, a larger intake will allow the kobolds to survive the plague.

Of course, a great warrior like Brachi didn't need to do this, but after discovering the strange effect of willow bark to relieve headaches, the desert spirit got into the habit of chewing some willow bark when he had nothing to do.

"When are we going to do it?" spit out the willow bark that had been chewed until it was shriveled, and the peculiar bitter taste in his mouth made Brach frown—the bitter taste of good medicine—the usual characteristic of Palu's formula, "I 'listen' to the grievances of the camel people, and they are boiling." ”

As a warlock who is well-versed in the art of sound, Brach can catch any conversation in the wind within a radius of tens of palesans if he wishes. In the past two days, the repeated complaints and curses against the Bactrian nobles and priests had even taught him some of the Hump dialect sayings.

There is no doubt that there is an undercurrent in the Great Oasis at this time, and the condition of all the infected people who have been taken away has always affected the hearts of their relatives and friends, and most of them are dromedary.

Because of a plague, the cornerstone of the Camel Empire's rule, the "monomodal and bimodal system", was greatly hit. Between the Bactrian and the dromedary, their social relations were torn apart by a huge chasm.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if the army of the Dragon Clan only grasps the power of the Bactrian nobles to attack at this time, and then gives the formula of the antidote to the dromedary camel, it is even possible that the dromedary camel will sit idly by and ignore the attacked Bactrian camel.

"Soon it will be your turn," Snead made a gesture as he manipulated the mechanical prosthetic as he heard Bradch's question, and a flash of lightning flashed, and he also got some updates, "It's better now, no, start preparing right now." ”

The steampunk half-lich had just been in contact with Quest, or more precisely, he was communicating in real time with Quest aboard the Leviathan through a communication technology newly invented by the young blue dragon known as "radio", which was sent, received, and translated according to a pre-shared encode.

Although this method of communication has limitations such as the inability to communicate across planes, it avoids the risk of the spell communication being intercepted by the camel god, even if he also receives those signals, but without the corresponding codebook, it is impossible to know the specific content:

"Already aiming at the target, ready to throw!"

After a difficult climb, with the help of spells, psionic energy, and reconstituted jet propulsion organs, the Leviathan Behemoth finally broke through the stratosphere of the island world and reached the middle of the atmospheric ionosphere.

In order to reduce their own load, all the desert kobold pilots did not board the ship before taking off, leaving only the young blue dragon to coordinate with Leviathan in the way of psychic communication, and jointly overcome a series of difficulties and complete the hovering.

Using the "Barrel of Oremoqi's Waste" that he had previously seized from the Obsidian Council's "Ship of the Blazing Sun", Quest paid out of his own pocket and paid for the soul prism that Silver Kate had never even had the chance to use, and obtained a large amount of metal tungsten from the earth elemental plane.

In order to process this metal with a very high melting point, he even turned it into a dragon body, and used the hot dragon's breath to make ten "tungsten rods" about 20 feet long and only two or three feet in cross-sectional diameter, each of which weighed about 10 tons.

This weapon, known as the "Staff of God" in the memories of Quest's previous life, was a great gift he had prepared for the camel god.

And the target of all tungsten rods is the Bactrian Temple where the camel god dwells - without the protection of the kingdom of God, the gods who walk in the world are sometimes like this, with a certain amount of preparation, they are no different from fixed targets.

Assist the Leviathan in recalibrating the target, loosening the dangling muscles that bind the tungsten rod, and leaving the rest to gravity.
