Chapter Twenty-Four: Two Sisters

"Plague?" Murphy thought earnestly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "It depends on what kind of epidemic it is, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"That's right. Ender said. "There is a plague outbreak in the Ottoman Empire, and I wonder if there is any way to eradicate the plague. ”

"Why help those lowly humans?"

Why help humanity? Ender has two reasons. The first reason: Although Ander is a demon now, he still subconsciously regards himself as a human being, and when others are in trouble, if he has the ability, Ander will always want to help.

The second reason is more utilitarian.

"Because I want to build my own power, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ander explained that the first reason he couldn't say it to Murphy, the second was that he had to say it. "Murphy, think about it, if those poor people are being tormented by the plague, their homes are ruined, and life is worse than death, and if a man suddenly appears at this time who claims that he can cure the disease, what will happen to those who are infected? In order to live, they will be grateful to this person, and they will be obedient in every way, and they will do anything for this man as if he were a savior. ”

"I see what you mean, ...... They're just weak human beings, so what's the use of having them submitted?"

"Murphy, you can't help this kind of demon supremacy, I have to criticize you twice, have you forgotten how the demon race was driven out of the Continent of the Gods by the elves and humans 10,000 years ago? The reason why the demon race was defeated was because it was too arrogant, and the human race was weak, but don't forget that the number of human beings is twenty times that of the elves, and the number of the demons is a hundred times that of the demons! Not to mention, there are many top powerhouses among the human race, and the demons dare not underestimate them. ”

Ender sighed, a worried look on his face.

"Murphy, we're in a terrible situation right now. As for me, I'm a half-crippled demon king, and you, although you have some strength, you're not a top powerhouse. If Jax knew I was alive, he wouldn't let me go. I don't know how much time we have left, but I'm not going to sit still and wait for Jax's demon army to come to my door, I need an army of my own, and humans are my only option. ”

After listening to Ender's words, Murphy was silent for a moment, she lowered her head slightly, as if chewing on what Ender said, a pair of beautiful red eyes sparkling in the flickering candlelight.

"I see, my lord, whatever decision you make, I will follow you without hesitation. ”

Ander didn't know if Murphy really agreed with his idea, but Ander knew that even if Murphy didn't agree, she would definitely complete the task she assigned to her with quality and quantity. This is Murphy, a perfect maid.

"Then I will take my leave, good night, my lord. Murphy stood in front of the door and bowed slightly to Ander in the room, then closed the bedroom door.

It was already late at night, and the moonlight was shining through the window with a cold layer of silver frost in the hallway. Murphy turned his head to look at a jade disk in the night sky, and couldn't help but think of the scene he had just had with the Demon King.

The Demon King has really changed a lot, he used to hate humans very much, was it the battle with Jax that changed the Demon King's mind?

Then, Murphy remembered the words Ander had asked her, "Do you like me as I am?"

Murphy's mind suddenly popped up with the scene where Ender hugged herself in front of the castle today, and she couldn't help but raise her hand and put it on her chest, where there seemed to be the temperature of Ender's chest remaining.

Really...... I still prefer the current Demon King.

In the bright moonlight, Murphy's frosty cheeks were stained with a sweet flush.

............

"Boom—"

The sky was filled with thunder and heavy rain, and the dense raindrops were like a curtain of beads, connecting the heavens and the earth of the world. It was the first rain in the Sunset Mountains since the beginning of autumn, and the temperature plummeted by 10 degrees overnight.

There is an abandoned hut in the middle of the mountains and forests, which was left behind by the hunters, and it seems that it has been abandoned for a long time. Inside the hut, a pair of ragged sisters huddled in damp straw, shivering in the autumn rain.

The elder sister's name is Emma, who is eighteen years old, and the younger sister, Ash, is ten years old. The two sisters were originally from Koizumi Village at the foot of the mountain, but because their sister Ash was infected with the plague and were driven out by the villagers, the two sisters had nowhere to go, so they had to enter the Sunset Mountain Range and settle in this mountain house.

Rainwater leaked in through the hole in the roof of the hut and ticked down on the floor of the hut, creating a small puddle at the doorway. Emma hugged her sleeping sister in her arms, thinking that she was lucky to find this hut before the autumn rain arrived, but unfortunately the hut was ventilated on all sides, and the temperature inside was not much warmer than outside.

"Uh-huh" Sister Ash suddenly let out a faint sound, her young face showed a sad expression, and she raised her hand to grab her chest in her sleep.

Sister Emma hurriedly grabbed her sister's hand and didn't let her scratch around. My sister had many black lumps on her chest, each the size of a thumb, and these lumps were one of the symptoms of the plague. People who have the disease will first have a high fever, and then black bumps will start to appear on their bodies, and the bumps will be very itchy, and after scratching, black blood will flow from inside, and then the skin around the bumps will begin to fester, until the person dies.

Emma had seen patients who had been tormented by the epidemic and had all the lumps on their bodies, and finally their whole bodies had ulcerated and died. That horrible scene, Emma can't help but tremble when she thinks about it now. The thought of her sister dying so tragically made Emma grieve. But Emma rejoices in her heart that she will not be in pain for long, and it will not be long after her sister's death, and she will also go with her sister, because she is also infected, infected by her sister.

When she left the village, Emma knew that she would never go back, even if she didn't catch the epidemic, but what was the point of living if her sister was gone?

Looking at her sister's sleeping face, Emma's eyes couldn't help but welled up with tears. My dear sister, you are all I have.

"Whoa—"

The sound of the rain drowned out the crying.

"Uh-huh......" In her arms, my sister suddenly woke up and slowly opened her eyes. It was originally a pair of blue eyes full of spirituality, but now there is nothing in the depths of those eyes, and the disease has robbed the girl of her light, and her sister can no longer see anything.

"What's wrong, Ash?" Emma hurriedly wiped her eyes, even though she knew her sister couldn't see her tears.

"Sister. The little girl opened her lips with difficulty, and just two words almost made Emma cry again.

"I'm thirsty ......"

"Okay, I'll get some water. ”

Emma hurriedly took out the kettle from her baggage, but the kettle was already empty, and Emma had no choice but to drag her heavy body to catch the rain. But when she opened the door of the hut, she was immediately stunned, and outside the door, a monster that she had never seen before was walking towards her.

The monster grinned, its two powerful hind paws kicked the ground, and its huge body quickly flew towards Emma like an arrow from a string! Emma stood in front of the door, her face was a mixture of shock and fear, she forgot to dodge, and she couldn't dodge at all. At this moment, a golden light suddenly hit from the side, and then with a bang, the monster's huge head exploded in a distance close to Emma, and flesh and brains were scattered in front of Emma's eyes......
