Chapter 35: Small Tasks

In the wooden stilt building, Andy and Danday sat opposite each other, accompanied by other Hekate Hound high-ranking people.

Danday sat there with a very slender pipe, smoking a strange-tasting cigarette.

"Although there were some small misunderstandings in the middle, please don't care, huh - you said that Merlin brought you in before, and you met in the Blackfoot Tribe, so can you tell me more about it?" Andy felt that the kind of tobacco that Danday smoked was amazingly bitter, but the rest of the room didn't seem to care, and he couldn't say anything directly, so he simply took out his big boss brand cigarette and smoked it, trying to relieve the terrible smell.

"Of course, it's actually very simple, I just helped her a little, and she helped me... We had a little friendship at that time, ahem, ahemβ€”" Andy couldn't take it anymore, choking on the terrible smell of smoke.

Dan Dai let out a sudden sigh and put his pipe beside him to pull out the unidentified mixed herbs inside.

"I forget that outsiders can't stand this, and we need to rely on the blessings of Lord Hecate every day to ward off an unknown plague that has recently spread, and although it smells very unaccustomed, it won't take long to get used to it. Actually, you should try to get used to it, after all, the plague doesn't bypass you. Hearing the word plague, Andy immediately raised his head alertly.

"The plague?" Dan Day thought that Andy didn't know about it, so he explained it in passing.

"Yes, a plague that has just recently become popular. We first noticed this when we got a message from a daughter of Hecate who had been sent out to destroy the small tribe she was living in, rather than dying. Anyone infected with the plague will have unknown bruises all over their bodies at first, followed by extremely severe vomiting, fever, and coughing, and soon they will lose their mobility due to severe pain, and many blue bubbles will grow on their bodies. ”

"After about a month to three months, the blue bubbles will grow all over the body and start bursting with blue water. At this time, it is basically not far from illness and death.... Most of the common herbs that were popular among the tribes had no effect on the disease, even the daughter of Hecate, who had been taught by Lady Hekater, could not do anything about it, and it could not only kill humans, but also spread the two-headed cattle of the tribe, killing all living creatures in a small tribe in less than a few months. "Andy can tell that this is not a symptom of a new plague.... Ouroboros Village is connected to many tribes in the wasteland, and if an outbreak breaks out in Ouroboros Village, even some remote tribes that could have avoided the new plague will die, which is definitely not what Andy wants to see.

He glanced at Danday's pipe, could it be that Hekate had really made something useful?

Why are there no sick people in Ouroboros Village?

"What about this disease in Ouroboros Village?" He looked nervously at Danday, who smiled back.

"The impact on us is minimal." Andy frowned, he knew a lot about the new plague, and it was almost impossible for him to do so.

Even if Hekat may have been in contact with Diana, it is absolutely impossible for her to develop an antidote that can completely eliminate the threat of a new plague on her own, so Ouroboros Village will almost certainly become the hardest hit area of the new plague due to the large number of people in circulation.

If the village's blind cult of personality for Hekat himself takes hold, it could well push everything in a worse and worse direction, and eventually brew a terrible disaster that will engulf many areas such as Colorara.

"Really?" Dan Dai pinched two fingers next to him a handful of mixed herbs that he had just pulled out of his pipe.

"As you have seen with your own eyes, we can not take that plague to heart, and it all depends on the divine blessings bestowed upon us by Lady Hecate, because of her divine powers, most of the Ouroboros village will be cured of that disease in a short time. Later, she gave this medicine that she had made herself to all the people, and this herb could be used externally or internally, and even like me... We don't need to worry about it from beginning to end, because the gods we believe in protect our bodies and souls. "Dan Day made a series of very loyal speeches.

Although there are a lot of idealistic ideas mixed in it, this does not prevent Danday's words from winning the deep approval of the other Hecate hounds, for Andy, no matter how outrageous the words of the other party are, it is inevitable that he can see an objective fact, Ouroboros really can't find a sick infected person in the Ouroboros Village.

This made Andy's doubts even deeper, could it be that the strange herbs Hekate had made were really as effective as the hope fruit he had worked so hard to create?

"Have you given this herb to the tribes who believe in you?" He asked tentatively, only to see that some of the Hekate hounds were laughing, and some were unhappy.

Dan Dai shook his head, his expression a little colder.

"The natives are not worthy of the gifts of Lady Hecate, their flesh is lowly, as if cobbled together from filthy dirt, very fragile and inferior. We are all chosen ones chosen by Lady Hecate, born with her blessings. He raised his arms and showed off his very exaggerated biceps.

"Look, where have you seen someone as strong and agile as we are? Those inferior natives will never be able to compare with us, and this was predestined from the very beginning. They are destined to be lowly brutes who are always prostrate at the feet of Lord Hecate, and who should not even lift their heads! As usual, he made a strange discriminatory remark against the natives, which was not what Andy expected.

He had never seen anyone as strong as Danday and Hecate, such as the cannibal predatory tribe jackals he encountered at the Great Dome, but the main members of those people were from the west, not native to the land.

And strange to say, Andy realized one thing at this time, among the many tribes he saw along the way, there was indeed a lack of strong people like Hekat Hounds, and most of them seemed to be born relatively thin and weak.

He thought of some of the things mentioned by the daughter of Hekate who had defected to Hekate when he was in the tribe of the Two Mothers, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

"But... If a large number of natives die from this disease, it should not be in your own interest, right? The other Hekate hounds, including the cockscomb and the thin one, let out a nonchalant laugh.

"Why do you say that? It doesn't matter if all those guys are dead, this plague just helps us to filter out more inferior guys, if we can't withstand even a single plague, such a weak race should be quietly wiped out in the world, otherwise we will waste our strength. Andy listened to what they were saying, and once again revealed a strange hatred for no apparent reason, as if for these Hecate believers, the natives were not even worthy of being called the same species as them.

Dan Dai is not so arrogant, and it can be seen that he has more considerations because of his identity.

"What you say is not unreasonable, I have heard that Lady Hecate has instructed her handmaidens to bestow this gift on a few loyal tribal leaders, but so far there are not many such beings, and those who think we do not know their thoughts, but in fact they cannot hide anything from Lady Hecate, and these people will pay the price for their stupidity. As for the rest... Everything has to be done according to Lady Hecate, and if one day she gives the order, we will certainly act. Danday looked up and glanced at Andy, as if he had thought of something.

"Speaking of which, you were so calm before, and you were really quite bold, I believe that your skills must be quite good, this is the source of your confidence. Recently, there was a little incident that bothered us a little, there was a guy who came from the west and wanted to do something to our slave, and after I was wounded, he didn't know where to hide, and he was afraid that he still didn't die, and sometimes made some small noises at night. We have a lot of things to do every day, and this mosquito-like wandering and buzzing guy who tries to do something bad is annoying. ”

"I thought you might be able to do us a little favor, which would be a further testament to your friendship with us and your ability to find him... Kill him or get rid of him, come back to me with a little evidence, and I'll give you something in return. The beep boy shook a few times, and Andy knew it was a notification of the start of a new mission.

"Good..... But can you tell me about the layout of this settlement? ”
