There was a very brief period of peace in the war, but it was a pity that what brought peace was the one that everyone talked about -
plague.
A plague suddenly invaded the Gray Woodland. Thousands of people fell in the plague. The nobles had to implement closed management of their respective territories and clear the country. The war that was originally in full swing was temporarily stopped.
...
Gray Woodland, Gray Castle, Main Town.
"Tina, my little Tina, who can help me, woo woo..."
"Anna, my Anna..."
"Woo!~Mom, mom, wake up quickly, mom..."
"Cough! Cough!"
Cries of all ages echoed in the town, accompanied by waves of moans of pain and suffering.
Many people suddenly fainted while walking and could not wake up again.
Too many families have lost so many people that there is no one to collect the corpses. The corpses can only lie on the roadside and let them slowly fester. The entire streets and alleys are surrounded by a lingering corpse odor.
.
Everything is like purgatory on earth.
Campbell stood on the street, looking at the tragic scene in front of him, his face was indescribably solemn, and his brows had been furrowed tightly all morning.
Although he had received a report of the plague earlier, he really did not expect that the plague would be so serious this time, and what was happening now was far beyond the worst-case scenario he had previously expected.
"Lord, wuwuwuwu..."
At this moment, a little girl of five or six years old ran towards Campbell crying.
The knights guarding him stopped him out of instinct, and it wasn't until Campbell waved his hand that the knights got out of the way.
The girl hurriedly ran to Campbell, knelt in front of his heels with a snap, grabbed his trouser legs with both hands and cried: "Lord, my mother, my mother can't wake up, can you save her? Please help her."
Please save her."
"Ariel's father has died on the battlefield, and only her mother is left. Ariel cannot live without her mother, please..."
Campbell frowned tightly. He moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out. Then he turned his head to the side with a stone heart, not to look at the heart-wrenching words.
Crying girl.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The sensible girl took the initiative to leave before the knight drove her away. She ran back to her mother. Although her mother's body had developed severe symptoms of the plague such as abscesses and dense erythema, the girl still stayed by her mother's side.
, kept calling her mother, hoping for a miracle to happen...
People couldn't bear to watch any more.
Deputy Colin walked up to Campbell and said, "Sir, let's go back to the castle first."
There is no use staying here anymore. On the contrary, it will increase the risk of infection. There is no cure for this plague until now...
Campbell's voice sounded hoarse: "What do the doctors say?"
Colin was silent.
Campbell looked at Baron Bamke next to him, but he was still met with silence.
Campbell clenched his fists tightly, but finally unclenched them.
He said weakly: "I know..."
Finally, he looked at the corpses lying on the roadside, and then at the girl who was crying desperately but still calling for her mother... Campbell sighed deeply in his heart, then turned around and prepared to leave this place.
hell.
at this time.
"Da da da..." A sound of footsteps sounded.
A group of people walked over from the other side of the street. They were a very conspicuous group, led by two young men and women. The men were tightly wrapped in a cloak, and they had a mysterious smell all over them;
The woman wore a strange white dress, which looked a bit like the monks in the Lionheart Capital, giving people a sacred feeling. In addition, they were surrounded by four young men in full armor.
Knight, and what's even more strange is that the girl is accompanied by a huge bear.
Such an image was particularly eye-catching among the crowd, so much so that they attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the street.
"Wow, it's a bear...a bear!"
"What a beautiful dress, what a beautiful girl, who are they..."
"that person..."
"It's a wizard, a wizard from Castle Gray!"
Someone recognized Heath's identity, and at this time, this identity undoubtedly had some special meaning. The helpless people around him surrounded him one after another. Even if they were blocked by Ike and the others, they still kept begging:
"Master Wizard, help us."
"Save my daughter."
"My child is dying, my lord."
Heath asked Ike and the others to step back and then walked into the crowd. He was about to say something to them, but at this moment, heavy footsteps came from the side.
"Lord Lord."
"grown ups."
The crowd gathered here quickly moved to both sides to make way for a path. In this path, Campbell led his accompanying knights and walked straight towards Heath.
His expression looked very bad, and his face no longer had the sharpness it once had.
"wizard."
When he got close, he bowed.
"Your Highness."
Heath returned the favor.
Immediately, the atmosphere suddenly seemed to be tense and a little awkward.
Although the two of them both live in Gray Castle, they are busy with their own affairs. Apart from meeting once on the day they entered the city, this is the first time they have met in the past few months. A few months is not a long time, but what happened at that time was still disturbing.
The two of them still have fresh memories.
Seeing that the atmosphere was so tense, Baron Bamke next to him quickly put on a smile and took the initiative to start a conversation: "Would you like to come out for a walk? What a coincidence. I'm glad to meet you here."
Heath nodded: "Yes, come out and take a look. I heard that a serious plague is breaking out in the town."
Baron Bamke's expression became serious, and he sighed: "Yes, as you can see, we are currently in a lot of trouble."
After a pause, he asked sincerely: "Your Excellency, Wizard, can you help us?"
Everyone’s expressions were also focused.
Poor people, soldiers, knights, and even Lord Campbell.
They actually didn't know whether Hiss was able to help them, but at this time they really had no good solution and were forced into a desperate situation, so they were willing to believe even those legends.
According to legend, wizards are omnipotent, right?
Facing everyone's gaze, Heath didn't waste any words, nodded, and responded accurately: "Of course."
After a pause, he looked around at the people around him and said in a loud voice: "I am here today precisely because of these plagues. As a wizard, I will not and cannot watch the plague with my eyes.
of raging.”
"I will defeat it and save everyone from death and pain."
