Chapter 194 Plague


    Originally, Duanmuhuai planned to go there and kill the idiot as soon as possible, and then resolve the civil war in Bretonnia. But what he didn''t expect was that when he arrived at the battlefield, the guy named Malobold had already been killed!


    And the person who killed him was none other than the Green Knight who said "Love is a light, so green it makes you panic"!


    Speaking of which, why did you forget about him?


    Looking at the Green Knight who raised Malobold''s head to show off his power, Duanmuhuai also patted his head. He had heard before that the Lake God and Fairies were missing, and he subconsciously thought that the Green Knight was also missing. He didn''t expect this guy to be like this. He ran out when the time came, and he was actually the founding emperor of Bretonnia... It was really beyond Duanmu Huai''s expectation.


    ??But in any case, the matter in Batonnia was settled, and the king also promised Duanmuhuai that after the civil war issue was resolved, he would lead reinforcements to the empire to resist the attack of the Chaos army.


    However, Duanmu Huai''s mission has not been completed. The Green Knight also hopes that Duanmu Huai can go and see the situation in the southern territories - I heard that rats are rampant there and the plague is rampant. The Green Knight also does not want Bretonnia to be exploded by rats. back door. However, the southern territories are independent territories and are not within the scope of Bretonnia...


    ?The reason is the same as that of the emperor. Perhaps all emperors and kings have this kind of virtue.


    ?But fortunately, Duanmu Huai originally believed that the rat problem was more important. If it weren''t for the bad things like Bretonnia, he would have left long ago. Now that the Green Knight was responsible for finishing the work, he handed over the work to the Green Knight without any ceremony. He took others to the southern territory.


    It’s just that……


    “It’s so miserable...”


    ?Standing at the gate of the city, looking at the city in front of them, everyone showed a surprised expression.


    The stalls outside the city gate were empty, and there were rotten fruits everywhere. There was no sound in the whole city, and the streets looked dirty and muddy. When walking on the streets, you could see sealed wooden doors and wooden doors everywhere. A putrid smell came from the window, which made people sick.


    “It’s a plague.”


    Seeing this, Duanmu Huai''s face darkened.


    “Plague?”


    “Yes, it’s a common method used by rat people, and it’s also the most annoying thing.”


    ?Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai also gritted his teeth. The best method of the Skaven is to drive the rats to spread plague and viruses to every corner of the city. Humans may be able to eliminate the ratmen, but there is nothing they can do about the virus. Under the influence of the plague and the virus, the number of soldiers able to fight will gradually decrease. When the resistance of the entire city is completely collapsed, the Skaven will swarm. Come out and destroy the entire city.


    “Family, why are there crosses on some doors?”


    Sitting in Duanmuhuai’s arms, Bambi curiously pointed to the side and asked. On both sides of the street, there were some houses with big crosses painted in white paint on their wooden doors, which looked very strange.


    “That means there are sick people inside, and generally they just lock them in the house and leave them to fend for themselves.”


    "How could it be...shouldn''t the priests treat these patients?"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, Lorena asked in surprise, while Duanmuhuai shook his head.


    "Those who cannot be saved, you are also a priest. You should know that the power used by the priests is limited. You may be able to treat hundreds of patients a day. I think you can still handle tens of thousands of patients?"


    “In that case, why not ask the gods for help?”


    …"Only they themselves know."


    Duanmu Huai shook his head. This method adopted by the Rat Man is also the most commonly used method by believers of the God of Disease. Simply put, it means that the lower limit of the medical system has been penetrated. No matter whether it is magic or science, the patients treated will always be There are limits. Once this limit is exceeded, the entire medical system will completely collapse. Even in a highly developed interstellar world, this situation cannot be avoided, let alone a world like this in the Middle Ages.


    In fact, there are many worlds where the inquisitor issued an extermination order because they did not receive timely treatment. In order to avoid eventually falling into the hands of the God of Disease - Hey, you want me to not give it to you, I will make you mad.


    As for the other question...well, Duanmuhuai said that he also wanted to ask.


    To be honest, Duanmuhuai really doesn’t understand why the righteous **** always seems so stingy when performing miracles compared to the evil god. In this regard, the Nine Holy Spirits in Tianji Province are very calm. The statue of the **** is placed there, and anyone can go up and ask for a blessing. Although the blessing itself is not particularly powerful, it can indeed make people feel the power given to them by the gods. .


    This is also the reason why there are only nine Holy Spirits in Skyrim Province, but there are more believers than Demon Gods.


    After all, people are willing to take the right path when they have a choice.


    That’s right, when you have a choice.


    ?On the contrary, the gods here feel to Duanmuhuai that they are stingy. They don''t show their holiness on weekdays, but in emergencies they all pretend to be dead. To be honest, Duanmu Huai was originally worried about the problem in Bretonnia. After all, the Lake Goddess was missing and the Lake Goddess was like a dead person. In that case, even if he defeated the rebels, he would definitely There will be a second fallen one to step forward.


    ?But now the Green Knight is taking the blame, so let him be.


    In Duanmuhuai''s view, there are two general types of believers.


    One type is those who don’t believe it in normal times and make temporary arrangements in emergencies.


    Another kind of believer, in Duanmuhuai''s view... it''s basically similar to buying insurance.


    Simply put, this is the idea of ??paying a sum of money on a daily basis, and then hoping that the insurance will come in handy when danger occurs.


    Otherwise, why would anyone believe in gods devoutly? There may not be any people who seek inner peace, but most people are obviously not the kind of eminent monks.


    ?? And when you have worked hard to pay insurance premiums for decades, and when it comes time to use it, the insurance company says that we will not compensate you in this situation - it is a shame for the insurance company.


    ?Most of those fallen believers also think this way.


    So often, it is better not to believe in unreliable gods. On the contrary, religious institutions like the Holy Church where Lorena belongs can be regarded as functioning very reasonably. Gods will take action when encountering problems, and believers will immediately think of asking gods for help. This is not like the hope of many believers praying for a miracle, but more like the reaction of calling the police immediately when encountering a bad person. Relatively speaking, this kind of religious relationship is much healthier.


    As for unhealthy religious relationships... something like this.


    “Burn him!”


    When Duanmuhuai and his party walked through the street and came to the square, a group of people gathered around them, holding torches and pitchforks, and there were also some soldiers beside them. At this moment, they were surrounding a man wearing a priest''s robe, throwing stones and other objects at him, hitting the unlucky priest''s head and bleeding. Although the priest wanted to speak several times, he was interrupted by the mob.


    “We don’t want any Sigma! Get out!”


    “Sigma is our patron saint!”


    Hearing the roar of the mob, the priest increased his voice.


    “He is our protector!”


    “Fuck you Sigmar! Fuck you Asylum! If Asylum had worked, my daughter wouldn’t have died!”


    A peasant woman roared and threw a stone with all her strength, hitting the priest. And around her, there were many farmers who were laughing at him.


    "Where is your so-called glory of God? Where was he when we needed him? Why didn''t he stop the plague? Why did so many people die? Sigmar is still indifferent? He doesn''t care whether we live or die!"


    “You brought the plague to us!”


    Other people next to him also burst into anger at this moment.


    “You have plunged this city into destruction! You are the cause of all this! Capture him and burn him!”


    “Sir Knight, should we... go up and help?”


    An was not here, and Bambi was too scared to speak by the mob. Ogis was sitting on Duanmuhuai''s shoulders as usual, ignoring these things at all. I''m afraid even if the priest was burned alive in front of him, Ojis would Jisi didn''t care either. As for Audrey, she stood behind Duanmuhuai without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking.


    ?Only Lorena was a little uneasy. After all, she was also a priest, so she naturally couldn''t bear to watch a priest being burned alive.


    “Okay, leave it to me.”


    Duanmuhuai was too lazy to watch the farce anymore. He coughed, took a step forward, and roared angrily.


    "roll!"


    A thunderous sound instantly shook the entire square, and the mobs turned around. When they saw Duanmuhuai, the mobs instantly turned pale. The next moment, accompanied by screams one after another, one mob after another almost They were scurrying around like rats, and some people were so frightened that they fainted on the spot.


    ?Well, think on the bright side, this is actually no different from the appearance of the Emperor Superstar. When the Emperor Superstar appears on the stage, some fans will always faint.


    ?It seems that my charm is close to that of a superstar.


    Duanmuhuai thought so and walked up to the priest. The latter had just rubbed the blood off his forehead. When he saw Duanmuhuai walking over, the look in his eyes was startled. But when he saw the Holy Grail on Duanmuhuai''s chest, When he was given the badge, he immediately saluted.


    “I didn’t expect to see the Holy Grail Knight here.”


    "I didn''t expect to see a priest of Sigmar here... This is not imperial territory."


    ??The Southern Territories are right next door to Bretonnia. It is understandable that Duanmu Huai would come to visit as a Holy Grail Knight, but it is incomprehensible for a Sigma Priest to come here.


    "I heard about the plague that occurred in the southern territories, so I came here specifically to promote the glory of Sigma... But you have also seen, Sir Knight, that they have been deeply affected by the plague and cannot even recognize the truth. Obviously As long as you have a pious faith, you can find a way to survive..."


    How should I put it? This is the incompatibility between the two.


    ?Hearing the priest''s words, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.


    For these plague-stricken people, as long as Sigmar can perform miracles and eliminate the plague in this town, they will immediately become devout believers in Sigmar.


    ?However, this priest believes that they must first show their devout faith before they can obtain the glory of Sigma...


    But this is obviously meaningless to those people who are already on the verge of losing everything.


    “Anyway, let’s find a place to talk first.”


    Duanmu Huai glanced around.


    After all, the situation seems to be more complicated than I imagined.
