Chapter 23: The Plague

In the morning, Ander yawned into the dining room, hot soup and bread were already on the table, and Rollin and Eliman were sitting at the table, ready to start their meal. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Now, Ander has fully integrated into the Hunter family, whether it is Rollin and Eryman, or the rest of the family, they have all regarded Ander as a member of this family, so now Ander is also very casual in Rollin's house, and eats three meals a day with Rollin and Elliman.

"Morning, both. Ander pulled out his chair and sat down, looking tired. Yesterday evening, a large piece of the flame fruit cultivated by Ander died, but Ander's heart was distressed, and he was busy until the early hours of the morning in order to find out the cause of death, and only slept for two hours.

Rollin and Elliman also greeted Ender, and the three of them began to eat breakfast.

"Uncle Eliman, have you heard rumors in the city lately that something has happened to the king? While eating, Rollin and Eliman chatted casually.

"I heard about it, and I'm afraid this matter is not a rumor, the Molong Pavilion Comptoir that does business with us, they are from the royal capital, I heard their captain say that there was a coup d'Γ©tat in the royal capital!" Eliman touched his goatee with a serious expression.

"Coup!" Rollin looked surprised.

"Yes, it is said that His Royal Highness the Second Prince Koman led the Praetorian Guards to surround the palace and force His Majesty the King to abdicate. The captain didn't quite understand the specific situation, in short, now that the royal capital was under full martial law, and the caravan was not allowed to enter and leave casually, the Molong Pavilion Commercial Bank had lost a lot of money. ”

"Forcing your father to give way?" hehe......" Luo Lin shook his head, a look of disdain.

"The royal capital is far away, the royal affairs are too far away from us, I am not worried about the empire changing the sky, what I am really worried about is ...... It's so close. Eliman sighed deeply, a look of worry on his face.

When Luo Lin heard this, he also showed a worried expression: "Do you mean the plague?"

"Yes, two of the three villages we have dealings with have been infected with the plague, and although Sunset City is still safe and sound, it is difficult to guarantee the future. ”

Luo Lin: "I heard the wandering poet on the street say that the East Mirror in charge of the eldest prince is the worst, and the people are almost dead, and there is no figure to be seen for hundreds of miles. ”

Hearing Rollin and Eliman say this, Ender finally became interested, he raised his head and asked, "The Empire has a plague outbreak now?"

Luo Lin turned his head to look at Luo Lin: "Mr. Ender, you have been in the herbal medicine laboratory all day, and it is normal that you don't know what is happening outside. The empire has had several plagues before, but never before was so terrible and so swift as this time, almost overnight, the entire empire was completely attacked by the plague, and our Sunset City escaped because it was located on the edge of the empire. At this, Rollin smiled self-deprecatingly. "It's still good to live in the middle of nowhere. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to keep escaping, the plague has spread to the periphery of Sunset City, and I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be infected people in Sunset City. Rollin, we must prepare in advance. Eliman admonished with a serious expression.

Luo Lin nodded solemnly: "I know." ”

Plague...... Ender put down the spoon in his hand and fell into the memory. He remembered that Murphy's medical skills were very good, and he wondered if she would be able to stop the plague, and speaking of which, he had been down the mountain for a month, and it was time to go back.

The thought of leaving Murphy alone in the ruined castle on the hill for a month, while sitting in a spacious and bright dining room, drinking hot bean soup, made Ander feel guilty. He slapped his head hard and scolded himself fiercely in his heart.

Rollin happened to witness Ender's self-harm, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Mr. Ender, why are you beating yourself?"

Ander smiled, "Nothing. Also, let me tell you something, I'm going to go back to the Sunset Mountains. ”

Rollin and Erimandon were taken aback, and Rollin asked, "Why do you want to go back all of a sudden?"

"I have a family member who is still in the Sunset Mountains, and I want to take her down the mountain together, and there is another one more to eat, sorry, haha. Rollin wasn't going to hide it either, after all, Murphy always wanted to know Rollin and Elliman.

Seeing Ender say this, Rollin and Elliman immediately breathed a sigh of relief, Ander is now the pillar of the Hunter family, Lorraine and Elliman no longer dare to imagine what the Hunter family will become without Ender.

"Mr. Ender is gracious, and if it were your family, of course we would have welcomed you. Eliman laughed. "I wonder when you're leaving?"

Ander raised his hand to a little bread and hot soup in front of him: "Finish eating and leave." ”

After breakfast, Ender set off. Walking on the streets of Sunset City, Ander clearly felt that the atmosphere was different from the past, it was too deserted, there were few pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides of the road were closed. Although the plague has not yet reached Sunset City, the fear of the plague has taken the city down.

When he got out of the city gate, Ander also encountered a little trouble. Martial law had begun in Sunset City, and the number of soldiers guarding the gates had tripled, and everyone entering and leaving the gates had to go through strict checks. Ander was also stopped by the soldiers, they made it difficult for the travelers to make some extra money, but Ander didn't bother to pay attention to them, and as soon as the family crest of the Hunter family on his clothes was shining, a short bow for hunting, the soldiers immediately nodded and sent Ander out of the city gate.

Although such a small episode happened, it did not disturb Ander's good mood, and the thought of seeing Murphy soon, Ander's mood couldn't help but be happy, and even the steps under his feet became much lighter. This auction of the High Elf Recovery Potion Ander made a lot of money, thirty bottles of potions were auctioned for a total of 6.5 million gold coins, and now Ander went back to see Murphy a little bit of a sense of home.

Out of the gate of Sunset City all the way to the west, Ander entered the Sunset Forest non-stop, along the way Ander tried to avoid the monsters in the forest, stayed in the forest for one night, the next evening, Ander finally saw his broken castle from a distance.

Ander stood on a large tree, looking through the layers of shade, and saw a sharp iron tower emerging from the dense canopy of the mountain in the distance. Ender knew that it had to be his castle.

Ander was overjoyed, and immediately jumped off the trunk of the tree and ran towards his castle. When Ander ran to the castle, he looked up and was surprised to see that Murphy was standing in front of the castle gates, waiting for him.

Murphy was still in the same black and white maid outfit, with long black hair coiled behind her head, revealing her snow-white neck, and when she saw Ande, she had a faint smile of joy on her beautiful face, and the scenery of the mountains couldn't help but be overshadowed in front of her.

"Murphy!" Ander exclaimed in surprise, he was so happy, he rushed to Murphy in one breath, with a gust of wind, and then he opened his arms and hugged Murphy tightly in his arms, like fire.

"Hahaha, Murphy, you miss me, do you miss me?"

Murphy didn't expect Ender to come up and hug her, she was stunned in Ender's arms, her body stiff like a piece of wood.

"By the way, are you standing here waiting for me? how do you know I'm back today?" Ander asked as he let go of Murphy and asked suspiciously.

Murphy forced his heart beating wildly at Ender's embrace, and said, "I have cast tracking magic on you, my lord, so I know all of your whereabouts. ”

"You've cast a spell on me!" Ander was taken aback. "Where, where?" Ender searched up and down his body, but couldn't find a trace of Murphy's magic.

"Don't waste your efforts, my lord, what I'm best at is auxiliary magic, which is impossible to find at your current level of mana. ”

"Uh......" Ander thought to himself that he was really not majestic as a master, and the servant had put magic on him and didn't even know it.

"My lord, I've got dinner ready, please come in and eat. The maid stepped out of the way and made a gesture of please.

"Yes! I've been on the road for a day. I happened to be a little hungry too. Ender said as he walked into the castle.

Ander had a great time eating this dinner, and although the Hunter chefs were very skilled, Ander still preferred Murphy's food. At the dinner table, Ander danced and told Murphy about his experience over the past month. Murphy was still "cold" as usual, just listening carefully and not saying a word.

In the previous life, there was a beautiful girl like this who was willing to cook for herself, and Ander couldn't even think about it. Now that Ander has a sister and money, he has eaten and drunk enough to lie down on the sofa, and suddenly feels that "the Sprinkle family is worth this life." ”

"Ugh. Ander opened his mouth and touched his slightly bulging lower abdomen with satisfaction. Then he turned his head and suddenly found that Murphy was sitting next to him, silently looking at him.

"What's wrong? Do I have flowers on my face?" Ander smiled.

"Nope. Murphy shook her head, and she looked at Ender, her jewel-like red eyes shining. She hesitated, then said. "Your Excellency, you have changed a lot. ”

Ander was quietly surprised, but not because Murphy said he had changed, but because Murphy only said it now. Ander thought to himself that it had been almost half a year since I crossed over, and you remembered to say, "You have changed", and your reflex arc is too long.

"Really, do you like me as I was, or do you like me now?" asked Andrew with interest.

"For me, the Demon King is the Demon King, and no matter what you become, I will always serve you. Murphy lowered his head with a serious expression.

Ander was a little disappointed, in fact, he preferred Murphy to say that she liked the current Demon King.

Ander grabbed his hair vigorously, driving away the frustration in his heart. "Alright, no more nonsense, Murphy, I have something to ask you, can you cure the plague?"
