Chapter 557: Eruption
"Strange taste ......"
Cervantes frowned, and after fully opening his sense of smell, all kinds of smells poured into his nostrils at once, fortunately the sanitary environment of Wende City was good, and if it was a 'traditional city' like Greenland, he would probably suffer a lot.
Snorting, the black dragon searched for the source of the smell.
Egret Avenue is located in the original civilian area of the old city, but now Wende City has canceled this urban division and replaced it with a street division.
The street was one of the main thoroughfares of Windtown, and the smell was very varied, but with the dragon's excellent sense of smell, Cervantes found an inn.
Rubbing his nose, Cervantes looked at the hotel door in front of him, and did not choose to push the door open, but stood outside the door, looking at the door, not knowing what he was thinking.
Although he didn't know much about 'plagues', he did know that many plagues had an incubation period, and they would only break out suddenly after the incubation period ended.
Because many people don't know about it, they think that the plague is sudden and difficult to deal with, but in reality it is not at all.
Some plagues have a short incubation period, others have a long incubation period, but in general, it usually doesn't exceed a month - a month is a long incubation period for a plague that can cause a lot of death.
However, the 'plague' is only for humans, and for a legendary dragon like Cervantes, it is impossible for him to contract the ordinary plague.
In this era, it is difficult to obtain samples of the plague, and it is even more difficult to do experiments, after all, there are no specially bred mice in the world of Assatom, and if you want to do experiments, you must catch apes, and you need to be carefully selected, those apes are wild animals, and many of them do not meet the experimental standards.
If a year or two ago, they wouldn't have done it if they had been asked to solve the plague by studying it, but now they have a sense of trust in Serena's orders, or just 'ideas'.
Cervantes was able to tell if a human was infected with the plague by a number of smells and symptoms, which the maid had initially asked him to learn how to recognize.
But the strange smell he had smelled before wasn't 'plague', it was something else.
Although he still didn't trust the red dragon very much, Ziegler probably wouldn't joke about it, since he said he had, then he did.
No matter how sensitive the dragon's sense of smell is, it is impossible to sniff out the latent plague carried by a stranger.
The wooden door did not do much to block the sound behind the door, and Cervantes listened to the laughter that overflowed from the crack in the door, and did not react, but stood in front of the door, quietly looking at the wooden door.
Now is not the best time to enter, after all, he is not good at words, but he does not have the ability to keep everyone quiet for ten minutes.
The smell he had just smelled was very pungent, and it was still irritating his nerves, so Cervantes was sure that it must be a dangerous thing, if not a plague.
Compared to the new town, the old town is much more crowded, not to mention, this is a main road.
Cervantes hadn't really been troubled by a single trigger before, but this time, the possible plague-spreading person made the black dragon murderous.
"If you really sin deserve death...... the black dragon said with a frown.
Then, he reached out and pushed open the door of the hotel in front of him.
The howling wind and snow were blocked by the scorching breath, and when the door was pushed open, only the sound of the wind poured into the inn.
People turned their heads to see the tall figure standing in front of the door.
Some drunk people raised their glasses together, some who were still awake hurriedly stood up, and the Kanban lady who walked through the crowd in an apron held the wooden dishes in her hands, turned slightly sideways, and looked back at the hotel door.
The owner of the inn, sitting behind the front desk, also looked up at the door.
A breeze blew across his cheeks, no one made a sound, and the laughter came to an abrupt end.
Many people's brains became blank under the impact of Long Wei, but some people survived the impact, but they were horrified to find that they could no longer control their bodies!
Time in the hotel seemed to have been pressed the 'stop' button, and at this moment, everyone froze.
Cervantes lifted his footsteps, and the moisture steamed under the soles of his shoes, and the soles of his shoes, which were still slightly wet, suddenly became dry as new.
As soon as he stepped through the door of the hotel, Cervantes noticed the panicked gaze of the people, because most of them had already reacted by now.
The eyes were deeper than the night, with a look of fear and surrender that made people's hearts surge, and at this moment, the figure in front of them seemed to be as huge as covering the sky and the sun, and no matter how they moved, they could not move away from this figure.
"Quiet!"
Cervantes' cold voice sounded, less smiling and easy-going than before, a little more frightening coldness.
"I know you're afraid, but it's better to be afraid than to lose your life. ”
As the words fell, the orange-red flames separated everyone, people could not feel the slightest warmth from the flames, the heat was licking their cheeks, and some people looked at the flames in front of them, and did not understand what Cervantes was saying.
"Among you—" Cervantes' gaze swept over the people, "someone has contracted the plague!"
At this moment, it was as if even breathing had stopped - people subconsciously held their breath.
"The infected may be among you or upstairs, so I need you to be quiet and ready for treatment now. "Cervantes is not good with words, so he doesn't use rhetoric to deceive these people, he just tells the truth.
However, after thinking for a moment, Cervantes comforted them: "You can rest assured that both you and the infected can be properly treated, and there are perfect treatment facilities and emergency treatment systems in Wende City—these are all set up by Serra, your maid master. Now that we've found out, your lives won't be in any danger!"
After hearing the term 'head maid', some people relaxed a little, but more people, they didn't hear what the black dragon said at all, and after they learned that they might be infected with the plague, their thoughts were already in chaos.
"Ahem, you ......"
A faint voice followed the footsteps of the people coming downstairs, and the owner of the voice stopped on the stairs, blocking the few people behind him who were going to go downstairs to take a look because they had sensed something before.
The voice stopped, and the person behind him pushed his shoulder, "Hey, don't get in the way!"
After hearing those voices, Cervantes looked up and saw that the face of the owner of the voice had changed from pale to iron-blue.
The premonition of crisis in his heart was immediately mentioned to the highest, and the black dragon smelled a strange smell after that person appeared...... Familiar taste!
Damn it!
Between the lightning and flint, Cervantes' right hand clenched instantly.
"Fire!"
The sudden fire immediately ignited the hotel, and the pale-faced man and the few people behind him froze in place as they looked at the flames that erupted in front of them.
"Uh-"
At the moment when the flames ignited, a sharp pain suddenly came from his chest, and before he could take a look, the orange-red color in front of him had been replaced by blood.
Bang –
The human body exploded, and the poisonous gas spread in all directions, and even the burning flames could not stop the penetration of the 'plague'.
"Ah!!!!h
The dragon's roar suddenly sounded, and looking at this scene in front of him, Cervantes's emotions were ignited by anger at once.
The flying magic carpet streaked across the sky, and Ziegler arrived belatedly with the doctor.
Hearing this dragon roar, Ziegler's forehead burst into green tendons, and he immediately gritted his teeth, "What the damn guys are?! I'm going to kill them!"
