Chapter 291 The Plague Outbreak
"Xilina."
The early morning sun shines on Xilinna's face.
A gentle call came to my ears.
The girl who had just woken up was still in a daze, but soon she realized that Engus was calling her.
"What's wrong? Mr. Engus, why did you get up so early... What can I do for you?"
At this time, Engus was sitting next to her bed, fully dressed, with a smile as warm as the sun on his face. He looked like he had been up for a long time.
"Is such that."
"I want to visit other cities, but I don't know the way. But I think as a planeswalker, you must know the specific route."
Silina was surprised by Engus' decision. After all, they had just arrived in Triumph City for less than two days, so why would they want to go somewhere else?
"Mr. Engus, aren't you used to staying in this city?"
Silina looked at the handsome knight with some worry, and now every word and every action of Engus could affect her heart.
"It's a bit unaccustomed." Engus shrugged.
"This city is indeed very beautiful, but it is a bit too noisy for me...Besides, this is my first time coming to this country and I want to visit more places and finally decide where to live."
He took two steps forward and leaned down, staring intently at the girl lying on the bed. His big cold hands also held the girl's soft little hands.
"You'll help me, right?"
Looking into Engus's deep eyes, Xilina felt her heart beating wildly, even the cold touch on her hands was ignored.
Her face quickly became bloodshot and red like a cooked prawn, and she hurriedly lowered her head to avoid Engus's sight, like a frightened deer.
"Of course...Mr. Engus..."
"As long as Mr. Engus wants it, Xilinna is willing to do anything."
The smell in the air became a little more charming.
The girl's hint was already very obvious. A normal human male would have already picked up a gun and mounted his horse, fighting bravely to kill the enemy.
But Engus was not normal.
He is biologically frigid.
"Very good, then let's set off now. Just pack the things you need to bring. Keep everything simple. Whatever you need to buy then, just use my money. I don't need the gold coins."
After Engus finished speaking, he turned around and went out to wait, leaving the girl lying on the bed with her pretty face flushed and a look of confusion on her face.
I have obviously said that, but why did Mr. Engus...
Xilina patted her face a little lonely, stood up in her pajamas, and walked to the mirror in front of the bed.
Inside is a slim girl.
Although it is not that the country is beautiful, it can still be called handsome and charming.
Moreover, because she has been adventuring outside all year round, the girl looks more energetic and her body curves are more graceful and charming than ordinary mages.
What went wrong?
Xilina fell into deep doubt...
In the end, she could only attribute all the reasons to the fact that Engus was an upright knight who would not take advantage of others' danger, even if a girl had secretly promised him.
When she thought about it, she immediately felt much better.
As for Engus not liking her, she had never thought about it.
After all, Engus has been with her all the time. He gave her the badge of the registered adventure group and bought her a lot of beautiful clothes and jewelry. They even slept in the same bed together at night.ωωw.
This is exactly the kind of treatment only lovers receive.
It wasn't until noon that Xilina finished dealing with the real estate in Triumph City. Although it was just a small tile-roofed house, the rent in Triumph City was still very expensive. Speaking of which, she suddenly left the place where she often stayed.
Still a little reluctant to give up.
"Uncle Peter, I'm leaving."
Xilinna handed the key to the tile-roofed house into the hands of a middle-aged man. This man was a wealthy businessman. He rented out the entire tile-roofed house area. It was said that he also had a relative who was the lord of Triumph City.
Although he is rich and powerful, this middle-aged wealthy businessman is not a domineering person. On the contrary, he looks very friendly, has a big belly, a little small eyes, and is always smiling.
"Congratulations, Silina, you have found your soul's destination."
Uncle Peter took the key from Silina, his eyes swept over the handsome knight, and there was a sincere blessing deep in his eyes.
"Thank you." Xilina smiled sweetly.
"I will come back to play if I have the chance. Thank you for taking care of me in the past six months."
"Of course, you can do it at any time. I can also keep this room for you."
After being polite, Silina left with Engus.
"What a good boy..."
Uncle Peter touched his round belly and shook his head sadly. He originally wanted to introduce his son to Silina.
But since Xilinna has found her destination in advance, she can only give up.
"That boy Obatto should be sad...hahaha..."
Uncle Peter smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip of herbal tea. For some reason, the usually fragrant tea tasted a little bitter today.
He didn't take it seriously and thought it was just too much tea.
…
…
The day after Xilina left.
The city of Triumph was littered with corpses.
Although the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, the city was already dead silent.
People living on their last legs can be seen everywhere on the streets. Their bodies are covered with abscesses as big as a baby's hand, and the stench of pus can be smelled from a few meters away.
Some people fell to the ground while walking, and no matter how many relatives around them called, it was of no avail.
They'll end up like corpses on the streets.
From the limbs to the internal organs, to the eyes and nose... they gradually fester, waiting helplessly and desperately for death.
"Pastor! Pastor, show my brother quickly if he can use purification..."
Triumph City, in the palace of the city lord.
The old city owner, who had begun to have sores on his body, pulled the priest's clothes and pulled him to a middle-aged fat man who had lost the ability to move. This fat man was Uncle Peter.
"Purification has no effect anymore, Your Excellency, City Lord."
The priest shook his head in pain.
This plague came so quickly and suddenly that even the source was not clear.
It only takes half a day from illness to death.
No one has survived this plague yet.
"How is that possible? It was obviously effective before. Just delay it for a while. I have already sent people to ask for help..."
The priest glanced at the city lord. He wanted to say that the knight sent for help might have died on the way, but in the end he did not tell the city lord this cruel fact.
"Then let me cast the purification spell again. I'm sorry, but I don't have the ability to eradicate this plague. It's really terrible."
The priest shook his head, sighed softly, and then used the purification technique on the middle-aged man who was lying there with sticky hyphae growing on his eyes. After a burst of soft white light, the abscess on the man's body shrank slightly.
But there are no signs of disappearing.
"Yes, that's it. As long as you come back a few times, it will definitely be cured. Mr. Pastor, please cure my brother first!"
A surprised smile appeared on the old city lord's face, but this smile looked somewhat sad.
The priest didn't say anything. He turned around and opened the door, returned to his room, and knelt in front of the statue.
He lowered his head and was silent for a moment.
Then he gently picked up his robe.
I saw that his arms were also covered with dense abscesses.
"God..."
The priest clasped his hands together and closed his eyes to pray devoutly.
Chapter completed!
