Lyanna has been forgetting about food and sleep recently. In order to develop antidotes for various plagues, she often stays up late and works overtime. Few people go to the laboratory because there are some dangerous experimental products. It was originally Rhodes' idea to study the plague, but Lyanna
De's original intention was for a group of people to study abroad in the empire first, learn skills, and then come back to open a research institute. But now, Lyanna believed that she had been gifted by the gods and started research on her own.
She studied day and night, did experiments, wrote notes, and then continued to do experiments and write notes. Due to her special status, although other people in the medical school and monastery saw it, they did not dare to say anything more. They knew
The relationship between the chief priestess and Rhodes meant that she would not speak ill of her in front of the lord unless absolutely necessary.
In addition, because no one was willing to study the plague, Lyanna was the only one in the laboratory for many years. She was immersed in it, using the method that the voice told her to prepare potions, and various strange formulas gradually entered the laboratory, with raw materials ranging from scorpions to
From powder to poisonous snake venom, to bezoar, human blood, there are all sorts of strange things.
The potion she developed is also very weird, but it can indeed produce a healing effect. However, an increasingly strong stench is constantly wafting out of the laboratory...
"Are you telling the truth?"
The Blackhammer Castle guard responsible for protecting Lyanna's personal safety finally couldn't bear it anymore. He came to the castle during the break and explained the matter to Rhodes. The madness of the priestess surprised Rhodes.
This is no small matter. Lyanna is the dean of the medical school, the chief priest of Salak Monastery, and even the future minister of education. She wears many hats and is the most important talent in Rhodes' hands. She must not let anything happen to her.
"I dare not tell a lie, Lord."
Rhodes asked again and again, and the guards all gave affirmative answers. Only then did Rhodes realize the seriousness of the problem. He thought of Lyanna crying in frustration because she could not treat the sick crew members. Rhodes guessed that it was probably the four vendors of Chaos who had returned.
It is causing trouble. This contamination must be stopped in time. And the best way is to keep the priestess away from all medical experiments.
If it is really Chaos pollution, Rhodes guessed that it could only be Nurgle this time. The God of Plague always takes care of doctors, because many doctors have been fighting against diseases for many years, treating the injured and infected. Many diseases are incurable.
, doctors often feel frustrated and lost when encountering this kind of situation. When the emotion reaches the extreme, it is a good time for Nurgle to seduce and bless. According to the description of the guard, Lyanna has no appearance except mental exhaustion.
The slightest change means that she has not been contaminated by the evil god at this stage, and should only be tempted. Therefore, there is still hope, and she must be rescued before she is contaminated.
"You wait here, I'll call two more people and bring Lyanna to me tonight. Remember, you can't tell anyone else about this except me."
Rhodes said, and just as he was about to go out, he saw the strange expression on the guard's face.
"Don't think blindly, I'm just doing it for her own good."
Rhodes wanted to explain something and tell the guards not to think nonsense...but after thinking about it, he forgot about it. The more he explained, the more problems he had. Besides, time didn't allow...
"Go to Bogul's room, wake him up, and tell him that I have something urgent to do with him."
Rhodes then told the guard outside the door that to summon someone of Lyanna's level, Vergil was originally required to come, but this dedicated knight was now far away. Rhodes had to find someone else, thinking of this matter
Due to the degree of confidentiality of the matter, Rhodes could only let Boguer, Yeskovic or Diego do it.
Diego was eliminated first. Although he was a comrade who had fought side by side, Diego's identity was a witch hunter after all. If he knew that there were still people in the territory who were targeted by Chaos and were tempted by the Chaos Gods, then...
The witch hunter's style must be solved with one shot. This is something that Rhodes will never allow. Lyanna is very important to Blackhammer Castle and Rhodes' career. Moreover, it is not irreversible.
As for Yeskovitch, although he can be entrusted with important tasks, the old shaman is very busy during the day. While training the Bear Rider, he also has to lead believers to pray and learn the way of Esun. Let him rest more at night.
The most idle among the three is Bogul. The dwarf butcher has nothing to do. He is looking forward to another battle every day so that he can die properly. There is nothing else to do. Let him lead the team to summon Lyanna.
It's just right. Because Lyanna also knows the relationship between this dwarf and the Lord of Blackhammer Castle.
While the guards were going to wake up Bogul, Rhodes learned about the situation of the priestess from the guards. The more he heard, the more certain it was that Nurgle was causing trouble. The pollution of Chaos is pervasive, as long as human emotions
When it loses control and reaches a certain extreme, the pollution of the Chaos Gods will come. It is called blessing, but it actually turns desperate people into their believers.
Although Lyanna was not contaminated at this time, Rhodes was always worried about her.
Soon, Bogul came to the office with a tired look on his face. Before he could wake up, Rhodes directly handed over the task to him.
"Rhode, you don't have the power to order me. We agreed that I'm here because you have a fight here, but if you want to override me, I will be rude to you."
The dwarf's extremeness was a headache. Rhodes could only calm down and slowly explain——
"I didn't order you, I just asked you to do this for me. Hurry up, there is no time, something happened to Lyanna, the Chaos God is targeting her, she may not even know it. So, you must help me
Bring her here."
Rhodes suppressed his emotions and explained to Bogul. At this time, the dwarf nodded with understanding.
"You should have told me earlier!"
"I only know it now. Go quickly. If you are late, it will be too late."
Rhodes urged.
"By the way, don't show anything strange, and don't tell her what I want from her. Just act normally and don't arouse her suspicion."
Bogul and the guards were about to go out when Rhodes suddenly remembered some details, stopped them, and gave an urgent explanation.
"Well, don't worry, I will take care of it. I still like this little girl Lyanna very much. Don't worry, I will bring her here safely."
Bogul patted his chest and walked out of the office door with the guards confidently. Only Rhodes was left sighing alone in the dark and gloomy castle room. Threats were always there. Before the priestess was brought here, he
