The skull of an Ichsdemon, hanging from behind the bar, is being wiped clean by the tavernkeeper and bartender spilled ale.

At this time, a strange camel man walked into the store.

The "Fish Bones" tavern is not usually frequented by fresh faces, but today, it is rare for the owner not to know the visitors.

Of course, he can't remember the names of every customer, but the more times he comes and goes, he can always remember the looks of some old customers.

Despite this, he didn't really care who was who, and he wanted to drink and could afford it, and that was enough.

The tavern had no windows, only the faint light of a few torches flickering dimly, and a few wooden tables and stools scattered about—the proprietor never thought of putting them in a particular shape, for the guests would always drag the tables and chairs around and sit as they pleased.

The stranger threw a steel coin at the bar with a crisp bang, and then he asked, "What's your most expensive wine here?"

The condition is not bad, the boss just checked it, and then concluded that the attitude is also much warmer: "Of course, it is a special wine of the Great Oasis, which is said to have been invented by the priests of the King of Twin Peaks, and it is made from ......"

"No, not the kind of wine that the pastors like. The young camel wrinkled his nose.

The owner of the "Fish Bones" tavern shrugged his shoulders, and different camels always had all sorts of quirky tastes for wine. He's seen a few customers fight over the merits of beer and malt whisky.

If the guest in front of him didn't like wine, he wasn't too surprised, "How about the malt whisky? ”

"That's it. The strange camel slapped the bar hard, causing the nut skins, pits, and dust on the table to tremble. The owner of the bar cleans up the garbage on the countertop once a month, and few customers who come to drink care about whether the bar is clean or not, and some people even think that this is the characteristic of "fish bones".

A camel man with twin peaks on his back, but looking more like a merchant than a nobleman, turned to look at the stranger, who was a regular visitor and loved wine, "Would you mind telling me why I don't like the 'Priest's Drink'?"

"I'm not prejudiced against wine, sir—I'm just a little worried," said the young camel man, holding out a hand to the merchant, ignoring his disdain, and leaning in, "my name is Queth, and I'm an explorer who has traveled far and wide, and the priests have been busy lately, and I just don't want to see them focus on making wine." ”

Seemingly intrigued by the story behind these words, the owner of "Fish Bones" leaned over while pretending to be careless wiping down the bar. Twin Peaks regulars were unimpressed by his gesture — as if no one knew that the bar's owner and bartender had just cleaned the bar the other day.

As a merchant, the Bactrian Humpan is also very interested in the "grapevine" about goods, "Oh?" his questioning words pulled out a long tone, "How do you say this, five or six days ago, they did follow the army to clear out the monsters, but it is said that the progress is good, and they should be back in the next two days?"

The young camel named Quest, who claimed to be an "explorer," lowered his voice again, this time almost lip-synching the news he knew, "Plague-plague-", and then looked to the left and right with his vigilant eyes:

"I've heard that the army has been infected with the plague, and the priests of the camel god can't do anything about it, so I don't want them to spend their energy on some old shizi 'special drink' at this time, and at the same time...... For health reasons, the wine they make with their own hands is still not drunk in the recent past. ”

The eyes of the bartenders who were "shocked" by the news widened, and just as they wanted to inquire carefully to confirm, there was a "dong dong" brass drum sound outside the "fish bones" tavern - the drum beat used to clear the streets when the army squad returned.

The Twin Peaks merchant glanced at Quest beside him, then straightened up and walked out. After a moment's while, he walked back, just as he wanted to pick up his glass and take a sip of wine. As if thinking of something, he immediately pushed his glass into the bar in disgust, "Give me another glass of malt whisky......

In a short time, almost all of the guests who had been drinking wine replaced the contents of their glasses with other alcoholic beverages, and for the first time, the owner of the bar piled up his glasses in the sink waiting to be cleaned.

Like the merchants who had just run out into the street to watch, they could not forget the hobbling camel soldiers, and the disgusting pus-like marks on their bodies that they tried to cover with their clothes but could not cover completely—

After the fragments of the earth's corpses were incinerated, the "Doom of the Dead" specially concocted by Palu and blended by Snead completely dispersed, and this new epidemic that combined voodoo and undead Gu poison instantly infected most of the camels present.

Only some elemental shamans, relying on the spirit of the elements, can summon the fire element to refine their bodies, and they can escape by luck. As for the rest of the camels, neither the Bactrian nobles nor the dromedary warriors were spared.

The Elemental Shaman's method of restraining the "Doom of the Dead King" cannot be applied to ordinary camel people, and only by relying on the Camel God Priest to continuously and repeatedly release healing magic techniques can the source of the epidemic in their bodies be eradicated.

Although there is no distinction between high and low when infected with the plague, there is a difference in the order of treatment: like the camel emperor and the camel god priest, they first save themselves, and then they follow the war priest (who has no healing ability) and the Bactrian nobles to rescue.

As for the dromedary camels, who had the largest number of infected people, they waited until the end to come to the rescue, and due to the proliferation of the epidemic, their bodies were ulcerated to varying degrees, and the yellowish pus kept oozing out and hanging on the surface of the wound.

For the prevention and control of the plague, the camels did not have any precedent to follow, and naturally no one proposed such means as "epidemic prevention and isolation".

The priests of the camel god used all their strength and constantly unleashed their magic to save many of the newly cured Bactrian nobles from secondary infection. As a result, some dromedaries have no way to treat them in time, so they can only use their physique to restrain the onset of the disease.

The original plan to annihilate the monsters that disturbed the camel empire in one fell swoop was completely disrupted, and the camel army marched quickly with great attrition, wanting to return to the Great Oasis so that the remaining priests could also participate in the control of the plague.

But to tell the truth, the overall physique of the camel race is really excellent.

In addition, with the instruction of the young blue dragon, Bradge did not lead the warriors of the dragon clan to pursue him, and the camel army infected with the "Doom of the Dead King" was infected, and the loss rate was less than about thirty percent.

Many dromedaries insisted on returning to the Great Oasis - and this was exactly what Quest wanted—the more sources of the disease could infect them, and the more camels needed to be treated by the priest in order to consume more camel powers.

The defeat in the war, coupled with the news spread by the young blue dragon in the form of a camel, can also have the effect of weakening his faith.

The two-pronged approach, opening up the flow and saving the source, and dealing with him again will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
