When Roland and the witches finished lunch and were about to go back to their room for a nap, Carter rushed into the castle hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Your Highness, the civilians from the eastern realm transported from the royal capital have arrived at the docks!"

"So fast?" it seemed that Tassa's efficiency was quite high, and he thought happily, not to the fact that he was a person who had served in the patrol and had a relationship with both black and white. However, looking at the chief knight's sweaty appearance and frowning brows, Roland suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

"But the crew on board has a strange disease," Carter quickly described the patient's characteristics, "at first it was a minority, but now it has spread to two or three ships, and even the soldiers of the First Army have been infected!"

Can patients develop dark spots and infect each other? It sounds a lot like the bubonic plague, or the famous Black Death. However, Yersinia pestis can't discolor people's blood, let alone crack the skin.

Roland's brow furrowed.

He thought of Lily for the first time, but he was not sure whether the other party's ability could deal with this unheard-of infectious disease, and it would be troublesome if it could not be cured and let her be infected. He had to make a deliberate decision, and according to Carter's description, these people wouldn't last long.

Either way, at least the scene has to be cordoned off first.

Thinking of this, Roland ordered Carter, "Lead the First Army to set up a cordon outside the docks, and forbid anyone to enter or leave." At the same time, they were told repeatedly: I will be there soon, and Miss Nanawa is already on her way. ”

"Yes!"

"Tricky?" asked the nightingale.

"It's not clear, it's up to Lily," he said in a deep voice, "gather all the members of the Witch Alliance, I won't be able to sleep at noon today." ”

......

Roland thought about it all the way and felt that he had to stay isolated from the patient until he had verified the effects of Lily's abilities.

Luckily, her freshness is summoning, and she doesn't need to touch the target to have an effect - a distance similar to that of most witches, close to five meters.

So he recruited two carpenters and, with Anna's help, quickly built a rectangular box house. There is a partition in the center of the room, and a small glass window is embedded in the upper end, through which you can see the opposite view. Underneath the partition was a flexible curtain drawn by Zoroa, with two small symmetrical openings for Lily to reach through. The soft sky-coloured curtain wraps tightly around the little girl's hand, thus blocking the air from both sides. As long as you wash your hands with alcohol after coming out, you should be able to eliminate the possibility of infection.

The order on the dock was controlled by the more than 100 soldiers of the First Army on board, and it was not that they were able to maintain discipline under the terrible epidemic of infection, not because they were strong-willed, but because most of the soldiers believed that the angelic Miss Nanawa would definitely be able to make them heal.

When the box room was ready, a soldier who was able to walk on his own and whose dark spots only appeared on his arms were singled out.

He walked into the room as instructed, standing still, and Lily stretched her hand over the partition to flex her powers. And Roland stood beside her, observing the other party's condition through the window.

The influence of the magic was silent, and the little girl nodded, and when she was done, he asked, "How are you feeling now?"

"Your Royal Highness?" the soldier heard Roland's voice, and was so excited that he raised his hand in salute, and then froze in place, "Hey, I feel that my strength has regained." Oh my God, Your Highness, I feel so much better!"

Roland could also see that the dark spots on his hands were fading rapidly, and this was definitely not a symptom of the plague. If I remember correctly, the latter's black spots were due to complicated sepsis and high cyanosis, and even after the plague bacillus was killed, it would take a long time for these dark spots to fade, and Lily had no ability to resuscitate her body at all.

However, her new abilities do have a healing effect on unknown diseases, which makes Roland breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's good to recover, go and call the other soldiers, enter ten people at a time, whether they show symptoms or not, they must come in for treatment once. ”

"Yes, Your Highness," the soldier paused for a moment, then saluted again, "thank you, Miss Nanawa. ”

"It's not Nanawa, it's Miss Lily who saved your life this time. Roland corrected with a smile, "If it's so serious that your skin is already bleeding, you need Miss Nanava to heal you." ”

"Yes...... Yes," he said, geasing his head, "thank you then, Miss Lily." ”

When the soldier left, Lily glanced at the prince, "It's okay to go back to Nanawa, I don't need to be thanked." ”

Yes, then why did you stand so straight just now? Roland looked at the other party's swaying double ponytails, and couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, but the other party unexpectedly didn't protest, just snorted.

Since it is not the plague, what is the cause of the disease?" He walked out of the box, and the nightingale immediately leaned over, "Your Highness, I just saw a strange phenomenon, in the blood of those people...... There are signs of the presence of magic. ”

"What?" Roland froze.

"In the fog like a little star in the night," said the nightingale affirmed, "I have never seen such a small magical light." ”

It was a surprising discovery, but anything that had to do with magic was either a witch or a church. It is now at least certain that the disease was not caused by bacteria or viruses in nature.

"I see," the prince pondered for a moment, "in that case, draw some blood and observe." ”

"No, you might be infected!" she nervously stopped.

"Don't worry," Roland smiled at her, "Lily's new abilities have completely restrained the disease. ”

The blood sample was taken from a comatose civilian who embedded a glass piece stained with black blood into a shelf and adjusted the distance. As the scene becomes clearer - if the thing causing the symptoms is about the size of a germ, it's likely that nothing will be visible. But when the focus overlapped with the target, Roland could hardly believe his eyes.

I saw that within a narrow line of sight, several bugs with tentacles and fat bellies were slowly swimming in the liquid, and their tails spewed out a stream of mucus from time to time, like slender hair. They are about the size of a single-celled algae, but like Lily's mother, their bodies are opaque and it is difficult to tell if they are single-celled organisms.

Fortunately, the magic glow on the bugs did not affect the little girl's abilities, and when the blood mixed with the clones was dripped into the sample, the clones would even attack the strange bugs first, turning them into their own kind.

When all the soldiers of the First Army recovered, in order to avoid accidents, Roland ordered all the fugitives who entered the box room to wear hoods and be led in by the soldiers. At the same time, another box was also erected, mainly for Nanawa to treat those seriously ill patients with open skin.

The treatment lasted from noon to evening, and when more than 500 people from 10 boats had recovered, the crowd erupted in earth-shattering cheers. Many people fell to their knees and shouted Long live Your Highness, and the sound of the waves could not be subsided for a long time.

"You don't seem to be very happy?" the nightingale winked at him.

"It wasn't me who cured the plague, but Lily and Nanawa, witches," Roland said, shaking his head, "and they should be the ones who accept the cheers of the crowd." ”

That being said, it's not wise to tell the truth to the masses until these people have fully embraced witches. He sighed softly, hoping that one day the witch would come to the stage.

Nightingale seemed to understand Roland's thoughts, and she patted him on the shoulder generously, "People won't care, you've done well enough." Besides, that day will come sooner or later, won't it?" she paused, "and by the way, there's good news I forgot to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The League of Witches may have a new member," Nightingale grinned. (To be continued.) )
