In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility.

Crown Prince Henry walked down the street with a heavy heart.

Plague is the enemy of all living people.

Although his body has been baptized by the magic potion, he should not be affected by the disease, but most of the knights under his command have only drunk the magic potion once, so they may not be able to withstand the plague.

Moreover, the female knight was right, no one could survive this disaster alone.

Your Highness, look!

The knight under his command reminded.

There was a team of well-trained Varangian guards in front of them. They were flying the royal flag representing the Royal Guards, wearing hooded helmets, and came to the city gate with murderous intent.

Your Majesty has ordered that the city gates be closed immediately. No one is allowed in or out. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed.

Looking at the majestic count commander who came to the city gate to give orders, Crown Prince Henry was slightly startled: It seems that we don't need to do anything extra. Her Majesty's news is more timely than ours.

A bearded knight looked a little pale: Your Highness, is there really going to be a plague?

Crown Prince Henry smiled bitterly and said: If it is not true, why did this Barcelona Lisa order the city gate to be closed?

There was a trace of fear on the faces of the knights.

When the plague comes, no matter how brave and skillful the knight is, he will only become a wretched man lying on the bed, looking haggard, and walking toward death step by step.

Crown Prince Henry frowned: Are you scared now? Isn't it just a plague? You are all warriors who have drank wolf blood potion. Why don't you be more brave than a woman?

He said, pointing to the back of the woman on horseback, running towards the city without looking back.

She has rushed to protect the lord she serves. I now ask you that half of you will escort me back to the embassy immediately. Knight Roland, you take the other half to the market to purchase grain and bacon. Next, we may have to I’m going to be stuck in the embassy for quite some time.”

The knights woke up from a dream and kissed the crown prince's fingers one after another, repenting for their wavering beliefs.

Brachna Palace.

The Queen looked at the famous doctors who were invited by her people one by one, and couldn't help frowning as they listened to them rushing to introduce their anti-plague prescriptions.

There was no court physician in the Eastern Empire. If a member of the royal family suffered from a disease, Anna and her apprentices would treat them.

Under the influence of her ears and eyes, the Queen also learned a lot of medical knowledge.

Therefore, when she heard all kinds of strange prescriptions from these famous doctors, or asked her to give her some gold, silver and precious stones to prepare the medicine, her face naturally became a little ugly.

I heard an old doctor with a wrinkled face push away his competitor without realizing it, and said with determination: Your Majesty, I have an amulet here that can isolate the plague - it is made of a hazelnut with a hole drilled inside. It is made by injecting mercury, and if worn on the body, it can live a long life.”

Seeing the Queen's brows furrowing, he quickly added: In addition to this amulet, I also found a precious prescription in an ancient book. All you need to do is grind Aralia japonica, Aralia root, peony root and turquoise into powder. Taking it will also cure the plague.

The Queen finally spoke: But my palace wizard told me that mercury is highly poisonous.

No, this is absolutely impossible. Your Majesty, please believe me. I swear that many people have been cured by me. They are all my witnesses. I can ask them to testify on my behalf!

The old doctor's face changed slightly and he argued enthusiastically.

Queen Lagaia frowned: Theseus, let these doctors try their treatments on themselves first. If they are still lucky enough to survive, then send these liars who tried to fool me to the gallows.

The palace dressmaker named Theseus tried his best to open his dark little eyes and spoke respectfully.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Lagaia watched the eunuch she trusted so much leave and couldn't help but sigh.

There was a rare hint of weakness on her majestic face: Is it true that Heavenly Father no longer cares about the empire? I have just seen the possibility of the empire reviving, am I about to follow in the footsteps of Justinian?

Anna, the Empire, it's up to you this time.

She lay weakly on the throne, looking confusedly at the shrines at the other end of the hall, as well as the portraits of the Five Wise Emperors hanging not far away.

…

Lothar pulled out the long sword that was hot in his hand, as if it had just been taken out of a blacksmith's forge, and thrust it back into the chest of a fear monster that was sneaking up from behind - the monster that suddenly appeared suddenly howled. His whole body was covered in flames, he screamed and struggled on the ground, and his head was immediately beheaded by Lothar.

This monster, which resembles a standing black goat, has the ability to reside in the shadows.

As long as they don't take the initiative to show up, they can almost be said to be invincible.

This is probably the reason why they were not swallowed up by this seemingly endless swarm of rats.

You're not hurt, are you?

Lothar looked at Eve.

Along the way, this unkempt witch provided him and Anna with a lot of help, which was a vivid explanation for Lothar of what people cannot be judged by their appearance.

No...no.

Eve shook her head, her blue eyes peeked at Lothar from between her disheveled hair, and then immediately looked back.

They still haven't found Liena.

The ground after the rat swarm was raging was full of messy paw prints and dripping pus.

This makes it difficult for a group to effectively track.

Moreover, finding Liena is not their primary goal.

It is to prevent this disaster.

Anna discarded an empty bottle into the sewage river. It contained the same potion to restore mental power as the Blue Moon that Lothar drank before.

This means that Anna's mental strength is about to bottom out.

They encountered too many rats, and the farther they went in, the denser they became.

Although Anna is also good at using swordsmanship, it is obviously not suitable for dealing with enemies like rats.

And the consumption of magic power by large-scale destructive spells is also very alarming.

Anna suddenly stopped. There was a solid stone wall in front of her, with only a narrow passage in the middle.

I feel the aura of magic. Eve, what do you think?

Eve said in a voice as thin as a gnat: Maybe it's an induction array.

Whatever it is, this is another proof that there is someone behind this group of rats.

Anna looked around.

Lothar also tried to observe with spiritual vision, and found that the wall in front and the corners were indeed lingering with a faint magical aura.

We have no choice, just keep going.

The group of people passed through the magic circle and didn't feel anything strange.

However, soon, there was a rustling sound in front of them again. This movement was already quite familiar to them.

You recover your mental strength first, and I will do it this time.

Lothar came to Anna, and the red gem on the guard of the cross sword in his hand suddenly glowed.

The cross sword in his hand banged and turned into a burning torch, illuminating the ground covered with a layer of translucent pus in front of him.

Lothar opened his mouth and suddenly spit out hot dragon breath.

The dragon core treasure on the cross sword shone brightly, and the power stored in it that had the same origin as Lothar surged into his body like a tide.

A rolling heat wave hit my face.

The squeaking screams soon stopped.

Lothar looked at the remaining flames in the passage and whispered: Let's continue.

Anna asked: How much mental energy did you consume just now?

Lothar shook his head and said: Not much. The dragon core treasure phantom stores all the power that I can use when I transform into a half-dragon and cast the dragon's breath once. In addition, it mobilizes additional magic power for me, so it should only account for one-fifth.

The time he spent using Dragon's Breath this time was not that long.

If there were more rats, the consumption would not be so small.

His blue bar is still a little short.

fine.

As this wave of rats was eliminated, they continued to move forward for a long time without encountering any new rats.

Until the end of the deep corridor.

This is an open stone room.

Clear spring water flows from the cave at the top, forming a lake in the center of the stone chamber.

Compared with the outside, this place is like a paradise.

There was no filth or filth to the eyes, nor was there any pus dripping from rats that had been seen everywhere before.

A beautiful woman with her eyes closed and naked was hanging directly above the lake.

heard movement.

The woman slowly opened her lake-blue eyes: You are here.

Did you make those rats?

There was suppressed anger in Anna's voice.

it's me.

The corners of the woman's mouth were slightly raised, as if someone told her the most proud thing.

What exactly do you want to do?

The woman smiled and said, I want to do an experiment.

Experiment what?

Experiment to see how many people can survive such a severe plague and successfully acquire immunity to it.

The anger in Ana's heart became deeper and deeper: Are you crazy?

The woman shook her head, pointing to her head, with a slight smile on her flawless face.

I am awake, Anna of the Levantine Wizarding Society.

You should also know that even if many plagues catch up with ordinary people, they will not have any big differences. I want to know, what is the effect? ​​Why do some people have it and some people don't.

You know, this is definitely not the favor of Heavenly Father. There must be some other factors that influence whether a person will be destroyed by the plague.

There was a hint of fanaticism on the woman's face: Just like those rats, they have found a way to coexist with the Black Death. I look forward to humans being able to do the same.

Crazy, you are simply crazy!

Anna had thought that the person behind the rat plague was a careerist and an enemy full of hatred for the empire, but she never imagined that her reasons would be so ridiculous.

Losa, Eve, let's go together and kill her!
