Chapter 94: The King's Call

When Tallinnam rode into the city on his white horse, he was simply stunned by the magnificence before him. The capital of the Kingdom of Bretonnia was built on a vast plain with mountains rising from the ground, and the city was made of countless huge stones, with its walls and towers made of white stones.

Behind the numerous towers and long stretches of walls is a great city, densely packed with city buildings as far as the eye can see, the Royal Palace at the end of the Königsboulevard, and the massive racecourse that stretches like a recumbent giant across the entire block and stands in the city square. It is the landmark of Cologne, where the annual Breton Riding Conference is held.

However, even more thrilling than this spectacular city was the army of knights from all over Bretonnia. Among them are a high-ranking Knight of the Holy Grail, a Knight of the Kingdom who regards glory as his life, and a Ranger Knight with a passionate heart. These knights, dressed in different costumes and armor, riding different mounts, and carrying their different soldiers, marched across the King's Road and gathered in the city square, the scene was like a grand military parade.

What kind of enemy made the king of Bretonnia pour all his might into meeting the enemy with all his might? Tallinnam is still unknown, and Berto does not mention it.

The late winter sun shone faintly on the King's Road, and suddenly, Tallinnham heard the neighing of warhorses, which was different from ordinary warhorses, not from the ground, not from the surrounding people, but from the sky. Yes, it came from the sky!

Tallinnham looked up at the distant sky, and under the orange-red sunset, a group of Pegasus knights roared in the glow. Dozens of white flying horses stretched their incomparably huge wings and carried the knights across the sky like a storm, and the scene was shocking, making Tallinnam's mood calm for a long time.

"That's the famous Pegasus Knight of Bretonnia, from the city of Paraon, at the foot of the Grey Mountains. They are noble knights, overlords of the air, each Pegasus Knight has no less training and adventures than we do, their mounts are extremely rare, and being able to own a Pegasus is the ultimate symbol of their wealth and ability. ”

Berto, on horseback, turned his head and proudly introduced. There was a glint of heroism in his eyes, a rare sight for Tallinnham to see him full of hope. Berto is a true knight, his ideal, his dream, is to ride his beloved mount, die on the battlefield, die for the highest glory, sacrifice himself for the kingdom, for the future of mankind. It can be seen that this king's conscription order also filled him with excitement and joy.

"How many years have passed, do you see such a picture again. ”

Berto said with emotion.

"By the way, my lord, you haven't told me what kind of enemy it is, so that His Majesty the King has gathered the knights of the whole country to meet the enemy with the strength of the whole country?"

Tallinnam asked, turning his head sideways.

"Mogul, a beastman who has risen from the dead. ”

Facing the golden sunlight, Berto frowned and said solemnly.

......

In the flickering candlelight, Lyanna couldn't sleep all night, and she flipped through the old books in the monastery over and over again, trying to find all the books on the plague. Parral's death made her blame herself again and again, and this self-blame was terrible, and the strict demands on herself made Lyanna always feel that the outside world was quite objectionable to this, although in fact it was not, and people knew that the priestess did everything she could.

It's just that Lyanna doesn't think so, she believes that there must be a better way to solve the epidemic, and her patients don't deserve to die so painfully. Lyanna remembered Parral's desperate gaze in front of her, which stung her like a ghost, lingering. She called on the Goddess of Mercy to give her light and guide her on the right path, but the Goddess Sarak seemed to have vanished and never answered her call again.

"There must be a way, when rat fever meets other diseases, will it superimpose new diseases?"

In the dark laboratory, Lyanna muttered to herself. She's thinking, she's reminiscing. Parral's condition was clearly not as simple as rat fever, he was definitely infected by some kind of infection, some powerful epidemic that surpassed rat fever. However, none of the books has recorded or described such a disease.

Lyanna fell into deep thought, the dancing candlelight casting her figure under the wall, but the figure seemed not to be her own, the huge shadow was large and eerie, like a large old man, or a demon staring at her...... Odd book e-book

Thinking of this, Lyanna slammed to her feet, and there was no one around her, no one wanted to devote herself to the study of the plague disease, but she was alone. She stood in the center of the research room, a corner where candlelight could not illuminate the corner, and the boundless darkness came to her. Suddenly, Lyanna felt a creep, and she tried to leave the place and come back tomorrow at dawn.

However, a strange force drove her to stay where she was, feeling the power from within, and Lyanna walked down the operating table. That's where all kinds of animals and even dead people are dissected. She had also amputated the limbs of heavily infected soldiers here. Now, it's empty, except for the bone samples scattered on the table.

Who had led her here? Lyanna didn't know, but thought it was strange. She resisted the force and refused to stay here. However, in the darkness, a clear whisper came - "Lyanna ......"

"Who?!Who's there?"

There were strange and terrifying sounds coming from the empty laboratory, which, combined with these eerie white bones, made the atmosphere even more terrifying.

Lyanna drew the dagger, which Rhodes had given her for self-defense, a weapon she had never used, it was more convenient for her to pick up a scalpel than a weapon to kill, she was a doctor, not a warrior.

"Lyanna ......"

The terrible sound sounded again. This time, Lyanna heard clearly, and the sound came from a skull. It was a human skull scattered on the table. As for which soldier or which civilian, Lyanna could not remember. Some of these specimens are decades old, or they simply do not belong to this era. But it didn't matter, because right now, terrible sounds came from this skull.

"Listen to me, I know your confusion and distress, I know your helplessness and despair. However, trust me to help you, as long as you listen to me to the end of my sentence. ”

Lyanna was about to destroy the skull when a deep voice came again. The candlelight flickered like a lonely boat in the vast ocean, and Lyanna did not feel the warmth of the firelight. But the voice was full of tantalizing flavors. Let her indulge in it inextricably.

"Listen to me, Lyanna, I know what you're struggling with, and I know the anxiety and self-reproach you feel right now. The patient died, and everyone didn't blame you, however, you blamed yourself. It was your lack of medical skills that failed to revive him. ”

The skull didn't move, but the voice kept coming—

"What I want to tell you is that the death of that man is indeed inseparable from you. ”

"No, I used the best medicine, even Sarak appeared!"

Lyanna retorted loudly with what little sanity she had left. The screams of exhaustion were followed by a deathly silence, the lab was empty, and there was no sound from the skull. This voice only existed in the priestess's consciousness, and if an outsider passed by at this time, he would definitely think that the priestess had a mental problem.

"Sarac's apparition? Oh, is it? That ray of golden light? Maybe you're mistaken, your so-called treatment didn't do anything for his condition in the end, but hastened his death. Tell me, what did you see after the amputation? More pus pockets grew from the wound, and the infection worsened. So he died. Have you ever thought that the golden light might just be your illusion, and if Sarak did, how could your patient die?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Lyanna hissed.

"I want to help you, come on, only I can help you. You want to heal all the sick and sick people in the world, so that their lives can be prolonged, and I, with such means, can pass on my endless knowledge to you. Let you, go and heal more, more people. ”

The deep voice sounded like a ghost......
