Lowe sat in the crowded wooden house, listening to the cold wind howling outside, listening to the 'loud voices' in the house, and sighed again.

The war is over, but they're still there...... No, it should be called the 'Duchy of the Wind' by now.

They remained on the borders of the Duchy of Sorrow, and when the Windswept Territory was officially founded, they also received a sumptuous dinner from the soldiers - that night, they could eat meat with their stomachs open, and I have to say, Lowe still has some nostalgia for it.

He didn't want to go back to his old home, even if it was a place where he had to be crammed into the same room with a few people, but at least, the hardest working people in each of their 'groups' were given meat every week, and they couldn't have imagined that life could be so luxurious before.

Originally, they didn't necessarily get to eat a meal of meat for half a year, but here, if they work a little harder than others, they can eat a meal of meat.

There is such a beautiful thing in the world, if it was before, this is something he would not dare to imagine.

He didn't want to go back at all, he wanted to stay in this territory.

Even if he now knows the side effects of eating monster meat, he doesn't want to go back to the home he used to be at all, his family is here, and going back there is just continuing to be 'exploited', staying here, their lives can be better, so why go back!

But recently he heard that the civil war in the kingdom was over, and it was time for them, the refugees who had been temporarily taken in by the Duchy of Sorrow, to go back.

He didn't know if it was a decision made by the maid chief, but he thought that if it was the maid chief, maybe he wouldn't have made such a decision, and the generous and merciful lord would have driven them away.

He wanted to stay here and didn't want to go back, and most of the people in their camp had the same idea as him, even if they already knew that if they continued to eat monster meat, their bodies would mutate, but no one wanted to go back.

Compared to the mutation of their bodies, they don't want to go back to the life they used to have.

At least here, at least here!

The people here are able to accept their physical mutations, because the ancestors of the people of the Duchy of Sorrow are just like them.

Lowe had heard from the soldiers that there had been a famine hundreds of years ago, and that the lord who ruled the territory was the father of the current lord, an old duke who lived for more than nine hundred years until his death.

It was a very benevolent lord, who was not much more reckless than the maid elder, but at that time, there was really no way, but to take a team of powerful and fearless knights into that terrifying Black Forest to hunt, and the ancestors of the Principality of Sorrow had mutated, so even if they were mutated, they would not suffer from strange eyes.

So, what reason do they have not wanting to stay here?

The side effect is just mutation, they don't look like humans, in fact they are still human, but if they go back, they will starve to death, and if they don't starve to death, they will be hanged by the lord outside the town.

Lowe knew very well that because he was not a freeman himself, he owed a debt to his lord, but before he could pay the debt, he ran away, and if he returned, he would be hanged!

But some recent news has made him have to worry.

Lying on his bed, Lowe's eyes glanced at the people in the room who were having a lively discussion.

They were debating whether or not to break through the defenses and escape into the interior of the Duchy of Sorrow, which is why he was called a 'coward' and excluded.

Lowe didn't want to act with them, because not only were there soldiers guarding the camp outside, but it also meant that they were 'questioning' the maid.

They thought that the maid would send them back, and instead of believing the maid who had given them favors, they believed the rumors that had been circulating from nowhere—Lowe really couldn't imagine why they thought that.

Why can't they continue to trust the maid?

Lowe wondered if he should report it to the soldiers, but if he did, would he be suspected of being their accomplice? and, if so, what would the others think of him?

With a mixed mind, Lowe tossed and turned in bed, and some couldn't sleep.

The sound of the wind drowned out the rather noisy sounds in the refugee camp, and Lowe lay quietly, but the sound of those people's discussions kept coming to his ears, which was very harsh.

"Ahem......"

A dry cough suddenly sounded, and the discussion stopped abruptly.

Soon after, one of the people asked worriedly, "Are you alright?" Do you want to go to the doctor?"

He was not worried about this person's health, but the doctor told them that it was a period of frequent diseases recently, and they should pay attention to keeping warm and healthy, and many diseases could cause a plague if they were not cured in time.

'Plague', what a terrible word!

No one wants to have anything to do with such a terrible thing, so no matter what happens, if they find out that someone may have contracted a disease, they can't help but ask more.

Whether they were sick or not, they would send them to see a doctor, and in every camp there was a doctor who would treat them day or night if they were likely to be sick.

They also had a time here that almost caused a 'plague', and that 'fever' infected almost half of the people in the camp, because some people insisted on not going to the doctor, and as a result, they infected half of the people in the camp, and if it wasn't dealt with in time, they might have died......

I was a little scared when I thought about it, so the person couldn't help but ask.

The cougher was stared at by other people, and he was not only a little scared in his heart.

"Go, what?" he glared at a few people, "It's just a cough, look at you in a hurry! You see, I'm not coughing now......

As he spoke, he couldn't help but cough twice.

After hearing his cough, the men jumped up and walked away from him.

Their huge reaction frightened the cougher, and his lips trembled, "I...... The doctor hasn't slept yet, has he?"

Lowe sat up from the bed, he had been awake all the time, and he had heard those coughs.

Although it may be a bit of a fuss, there are precedents before, how can they not be afraid?

Lowe covered his mouth and nose with his hands, lowering the rate of his breathing, he didn't know if it worked, but if it worked?

"Ahem......"

The cougher couldn't help but cough twice, this time, he didn't dare to slack off anymore, what if he really contracted something?

Frightened, the cougher pushed open the door of the cabin and walked out, glancing back at the people in the room.

Outside the house, the snow was falling, and the cold wind was howling, but no one followed.

With a slight shudder, the cougher closed the door and walked to the doctor's room with his arms crossed.

After he left, the people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Lowe.

They had seen the severity of the 'disease', but they didn't want to get sick themselves, because the fever almost tossed people to death, and if it was really a plague?

Thinking of this, Lowe couldn't help but be a little scared.

He was in the same room as that person just now, and if there was really something wrong with that person, then did he also catch it?

Sitting on the bed and thinking for a while, Luo Wei was still a little uneasy, and his heart was a little hairy.

"I, I'm going to the doctor......"

Lowe suddenly got up from the bed, and after saying this, he hurriedly pushed the door open and walked out against the cold wind.

The men who remained in the house looked at each other, and before long the door of the hut was pushed open again, and several mermaids rushed out and hurried towards the doctor's room.
