Colony, when Talinnam rode a white horse into the city, he was simply stunned by the incomparably magnificent sight in front of him. The capital of the Kingdom of Bretonnia was built on a vast plain, with Barton behind it.
Rising from the mountains, the city is built of countless boulders, with white solid stone forming its walls and towers.
Behind countless towers and stretching city walls, there is a great city. Densely packed city buildings cover every corner as far as the eye can see. At the end of the King's Road is the Royal Palace, and the huge racecourse is like a lying giant.
It spans the entire city block and stands on the city square. It is the landmark building of Cologne, and the annual riding convention of Bretonnia is held here.
However, compared to this spectacular city, what makes Talinnam feel more excited is the army of knights gathered from all over Bretonnia. Among them are high-ranking Holy Grail knights who regard glory as their life
The knights of the kingdom are passionate knights errant. These knights gathered from all over the country, wearing different costumes and armors, riding different mounts, and leading their own different soldiers, walked across the King's Road in unison, heading towards
People gathered in the city square, and the scene looked like a grand military parade.
What kind of enemy made the King of Bretonnia devote all his resources and the whole country to fight against it? Talinnam still does not know, and Bertol has not mentioned it.
The late winter sun shone faintly on the King's Avenue. Suddenly, Talinnam heard the neighing of war horses. This sound was different from ordinary war horses. It did not come from the ground or the surrounding people, but from the sky.
Came. Yes, it came from heaven!
Talinnam looked up at the sky in the distance. Under the orange-red sunset, a group of Pegasus knights roared over in the glow. Dozens of white Pegasus stretched out their huge wings, carrying the knights across the sky, as if
A storm and shocking scene made Talinnam unable to calm down for a long time.
"Those are the famous Pegasus knights of Bretonnia, from the city of Palaon, at the foot of the Gray Mountains. They are noble knights, the overlords of the sky. Each Pegasus knight has experienced no less training and adventure than us. They
Their mounts are extremely rare, and owning a Pegasus is the ultimate symbol of their wealth and ability."
Berto on horseback turned his head and introduced proudly. His eyes flashed with heroism, which was a rare sight in Tarinham. He was full of hope. In the old national glory dream, Berto was a true hero.
The knight, his ideal, his dream, is to ride his beloved mount and die in battle, to die for the highest glory, to sacrifice himself for the kingdom and the future of mankind. It can be seen that this time the king
The recruitment order also filled him with excitement and joy.
"How many years have passed, how can I see such a scene again?"
Berto said with emotion.
"By the way, sir, you haven't told me yet, what kind of enemy is it that makes His Majesty the King summon all the knights from all over the country to fight against it with the strength of the whole country?"
Talinnam turned his head and asked.
"Mogul, a beastman who rose from the dead."
Facing the golden sunshine, Berto frowned and said solemnly.
…
Under the flickering candlelight, Lyanna could not sleep all night. She flipped through the ancient books in the monastery over and over again, trying to find all the books about the plague. The death of Parral made her blame herself again and again, and this self-blame was
The terrible, strict requirements on herself made Lyanna always feel that the outside world had objections to this, although in fact there was no such thing. People knew that the priestess had done everything she could.
But Lyanna didn't think so. She believed that there must be a better way to solve the epidemic, and her patients shouldn't die in such pain. Lyanna still remembered the desperate look in Parral's eyes before the emergency, which hurt all the time.
She, like a ghost, lingers. She called upon the goddess of mercy to give her light and guide her on the right path, but the goddess Sarak seemed to have disappeared since then and never responded to her call.
"There must be a way. When rat fever encounters other diseases, will new diseases be superimposed?"
In the dark laboratory room, Lyanna was talking to herself. She was thinking and recalling. Parral's condition was obviously not as simple as rat fever. He was definitely suffering from some kind of infection, something beyond rat fever.
The infection of a powerful epidemic. However, such a disease has never been recorded or described in any books.
Lyanna was lost in thought. The beating candlelight cast her figure under the wall, but the figure didn't seem to be her own. The huge shadow was huge and strange, resembling a huge old man, or a head staring at her.
The devil...
Thinking of this, Lyanna stood up suddenly. There was no one around. No one wanted to invest in the research of plague diseases, she was the only one. She stood in the center of the research room, in a corner that could not be illuminated by candlelight, and the boundless darkness approached her.
Attacked. Suddenly, Lyanna felt a chill. She tried to leave this place and wait until dawn tomorrow to come back.
However, a strange force drove her to stay where she was. Feeling this power from her heart, Lyanna walked along the operating table. It was the place where various animals and even dead people were dissected. She also used to give birth here.
Soldiers with serious infections had their legs amputated. But now, there is nothing here except for bone samples scattered on the table.
Who guided her here? Lyanna didn't know, she just felt strange. She resisted this power and refused to stay here. However, in the darkness, a clear whisper came - "Lyanna...
…”
"Who?! Who's there?"
Weird and terrifying sounds came from the empty laboratory, and these eerie bones made the atmosphere even more terrifying.
Lyanna took out the dagger, which was given to her by Rhodes for self-defense. She had never used this weapon. For her, picking up a scalpel was more suitable than picking up a murder weapon. She is a doctor,
Not a warrior.
"Lyanna..."
The terrible sound sounded again. This time, Lyanna heard it clearly. The sound came from a skull. It was a human skull scattered on the table. As for which soldier or civilian it belonged to, Lyanna could no longer remember.
Some of these specimens are from decades ago, or do not belong to this era at all. But it does not matter, because now, the terrible sound is coming from this skull.
"Listen to me, I know your confusion and distress, I know your helplessness and despair. However, I believe I can help you, as long as you listen to what I have to say."
Lyanna was about to destroy the skull when a low voice came again. The candlelight flickered like a lonely boat in the vast ocean, and Lyanna couldn't feel the warmth of the fire at all. But the voice was full of seductive flavor.
She couldn't help but indulge in it.
"Listen to me, Lyanna, I know what you are distressed about, and I know the anxiety and self-blame you are feeling in your heart right now. The patient died, and no one blamed you, but you are blaming yourself. It was your poor medical skills.
, so we couldn’t save him.”
The skull remained motionless, but the sound kept coming——
"What I want to tell you is that that person's death is indeed inseparable from you."
"No! I used the best medicine, and even Sarak appeared!"
Lyanna retorted loudly with her remaining sense. The hoarse shout was followed by a deathly silence. There was no one in the laboratory, and there was no so-called voice coming from the skull. This voice only existed among the priestesses.
In his mind, if an outsider passed by at this time, he would definitely think that the priestess had a mental problem.
"Salac appeared? Oh, really? That ray of golden light? Maybe you saw it wrong. In the end, your so-called treatment did not have any effect on his condition, but accelerated his death. Tell me, after the amputation
What did you see? More pustules grew on the wound, and the infection worsened. So he died. Have you ever thought that that golden light might just be your hallucination? If Sarlacc really came, your patient
How could he die?"
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Lyanna hissed.
"I want to help you, come on, only I can help you. You want to cure all the patients and patients in the world so that their lives can be extended, and I, with this method, can pass on my endless knowledge.
