Chapter 110: Bloody Banquet

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Antihypertensive drugs are not as effective as methadone or buprenorphine in relieving withdrawal reactions. They also have relatively large side effects, such as low blood pressure and slowed pulse. In severe cases, they may be life-threatening.

However, Jin Tong was born as a half-orc, and his physical fitness was much better than that of ordinary people. Li Yu observed him for a while and saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he went out and found Ruby again.

He gave her the remaining antihypertensive medicine for safekeeping, and also gave her an extra bottle of chlorpromazine.

He told her that if Jin Tong really couldn't bear it, she could take the following sedative.

But as Li Yu said, whether Jin Tong can survive this test in the end depends more on his own will.

Li Yu asked Clara, "Does he have any relatives? A wife, a daughter or something, or a lover."

"Well, as far as I know, there shouldn't be." The little maid shook her head and said, "He told me that his usual life is to work for Herodotus, and when he has nothing to do, he practices swordplay alone in his residence. It seems that he also You don’t have any friends, what, is there any problem?”

"It will be easier to get through if you have some mental support." Li Yu said.

"Is that so?" Clara thought for a moment, "Then let me tell him the story of Saturday. When I was kidnapped and was scared, it was the stories you told me, the Prophet, that gave me courage."

Judging from the exchange between the two parties just now, Li Yu felt that Jin Tong was still quite wary of him. If nothing else happened, this wariness should continue until Jin Tong was cured.

Li Yu had basically given up on the possibility of influencing him during this period.

But since the little maid wanted to give it a try, Li Yu didn't stop her. She nodded and said, "Okay, and you also suffered a lot of shocks this time. I'll give you half a month's leave first so that you can relax." ."

Li Yu originally thought that because of the young maid's love for fishing, she would be overjoyed when she heard the news.

But unexpectedly, Clara’s lips raised at first, and then dropped again, waving her hands and saying, “No, no, no, I still have to study. I have been out for two months this time, and I have already missed a lot of homework.”

For a moment, Li Yu even wondered if the child had been snatched away.

Because such words really don't seem to come out of the mouth of a young maid.

Clara said with a bitter face, "Mr. Prophet, I was wrong. I was able to survive until Brother Jerry and the others came to save me this time, all thanks to the little experiments you taught me before, Mister Prophet. At that time, I prayed to Saturday. If I can return to the green field and study hard in the future.

Clara's learning talent has always been mediocre. She memorizes everything very quickly. The only problem is that she is too lazy to do anything but fish.

Li Yu has a long way to go if he wants to train her to be the chief secretary of Shuangxiujiao.

Unexpectedly, the little maid actually grew up a lot after going out for such a long trip and realized the importance of learning.

That is to say, Li Yu can't find Herodotus now, otherwise he will have to send a banner to the latter. After all, Herodotus has done what many famous Haidian teachers can't do.

…………

Li Yu only heard about the tragedy that happened in Dolin City when he returned to Bratis the next Monday.

With the rebellion of the Raimondi family, High Priest Martina captured this fortified city with almost no effort.

The army did not even camp outside the city, but marched directly into the city and quickly took over the city defense. The 30,000 new troops recruited by Herodotus showed no resistance in front of the elite troops of the major families in the west.

By the afternoon, the remaining small force was defeated, and the frontal battle was almost over.

After that, the Skitarii began to capture the fleeing new troops in the city, which lasted for five full days, allowing the city to gradually restore order.

Then High Priest Martina held a celebration banquet to thank the major families for their help on behalf of the church.

The banquet was held in Sir Ed's mansion. Sir Ed had started preparations many days in advance and prepared many precious ingredients. However, none of these ingredients were eaten in the end.

After High Priest Martina finished her toast, all the guests drank the wine in their glasses.

Soon, someone felt uncomfortable.

According to the description of the maid present, the scene in the hall at that time was extremely terrifying.

A look of pain appeared on each guest's face, and then their eyes and noses began to bleed, their skin became red, and their pupils dilated.

Some people fell directly to the ground, while others had slightly milder symptoms and could crawl on the ground with difficulty, screaming for help.

But at this time, even Pisiya, whom they respected most, could not save them.

Those people only lasted a little longer, and then they lost their vitality.

The only sounds left in the hall were the terrified screams of the maids.

A total of sixty-two nobles, plus the four high priests of the Silver Moon Church, including High Priest Martina, died at the same time on this day.

After the news came out, it immediately shocked the entire Western Territory!

In order to avenge the tragic death of his father and brother, Shapiro subsequently beheaded all the 20,000 captured New Army soldiers.

It is said that in order to find enough executioners these days, even the butchers in the city have been recruited, and the steaming heads are piled under the city wall.

Among them, there are not only those who have committed serious crimes, but also those who have only committed minor mistakes or even done no evil at all.

A father took the initiative to join the New Army in order to protect his three daughters. The only thing he did was to wear sackcloth. He also had his head chopped off like the others.

The old people in the city said they had never seen so many crows and vultures hovering over the Scaled City.

In just a few days, this pure holy city has turned into a bloody slaughterhouse.

But Shapiro's anger remained unabated, and he ordered the continued pursuit of the fleeing Herodotus and his remnants, vowing to make the high priest pay for this tragedy with his life.

Not only Shapiro, but other noble families in the West also expressed varying degrees of anger after they recovered.

Overnight, Herodotus became a street rat. People everywhere began to search for his whereabouts, and the Silver Moon Church fell into a leaderless situation.

Not only that, the friendly relationships they had finally established with various major families were also challenged by this incident.

No matter how many bad things Herodotus has done, he is the last high priest of the Silver Moon Church. Naturally, the nobles in the Western Region will suspect that his current disappearance is hidden by someone in the church.

Many priests have become targets of suspicion. In just a few days, there have been more frictions between the church and the nobility than in the previous year combined.
