Then the eldest prince Horos Targaryen, who came from King's Landing, finally issued the ban after some thought.
All the messengers took action upon hearing the news.
"quick!"
"Your Highness has an order!"
"Seal all entrances and exits!"
In order to prevent the spread of this suspected plague virus, Kheros ordered the military camp to be sealed off starting today. It is prohibited to accept any more refugees from the outside world. No one can go out or enter. Moreover, no one is allowed to approach the place where patients are isolated. Information is strictly blocked to prevent
causing panic.
And Heros himself set an example by locking himself in the tent and not going out.
However, that night, an accident suddenly occurred.
A fire suddenly broke out in the isolation area, and the fire grew extremely fierce. All the doctors and patients accompanying the army were killed in the fire, and no one escaped.
When this accident happened, Heros was reading books about Strangers in his tent.
The Valyrian Empire is carrying out a god-destroying campaign, but it is mainly targeting the gods of Essos, and is still relaxed about the local gods of Westeros.
The Stranger is one of the seven-faced gods, symbolizing death. The plague is also the incarnation of the Stranger. It is said that he rides a 'pale mare', and wherever this horse goes, it brings terror.
of blood plague.
Horos has the habit of reading on weekdays. He is introverted and self-centered and likes to be alone quietly. Therefore, this time he was ordered to lead a rescue team from King's Landing to the Riverlands for disaster relief, and he also brought many people with him.
A box of books came.
However, there were no books specifically about the plague in these books, and Heros didn't know that he would run into such a big trouble during his trip to the Riverlands to provide disaster relief.
But some of his books happened to involve plagues. One of them was a history book that recorded the "Great Spring Plague" in 209 Aegon.
The other book is "The Book of Strangers", which also involves some.
"People in the plague, rich and poor, pious or not, include the 'Wise King' Daeron II and his two heirs, Princes Valarr and Matalis."
"The High Septon, one-third of the Archbishops and almost all the Silent Sisters of King's Landing were all taken away by the Stranger, as well as Daeron's Prime Minister."
"Brynden Rivers, the new Hand of the King, suggested to the new King Aerys I that the corpses be transported to the dragon's lair and then handed over to the pyromancers to burn them all."
"It is said that the flames of the wildfires when the corpses were burned made King's Landing seem to glow in the night."
"Others who died in the plague include Roland Ufling, the fourth husband of Lady Rohanne Webb, the eldest son of Lord Damon Lannister and Earl Bracken, etc."
The brown-haired young prince sat under the candlelight, looking at these shocking words, slightly silent, and tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
But at this moment, he looked at the book and felt a faint flicker of fire outside. Then he raised his head and looked outside, and a guard happened to run over.
"Your Highness, something happened again!"
The next day during the day.
What happened last night has gradually spread in the military camp.
Although the soldiers did not yet know that the epidemic seemed to be brewing, the fire last night could not be concealed.
"what happened?"
"I heard that many people were burned to death?"
The soldiers whispered, but Heros still came to the scene of the fire that occurred last night.
"It is known that fire can cleanse away all sin."
The eldest prince, wearing a black cloak, stepped on the scorched earth beneath his feet, and then spoke.
The large tent that could accommodate more than ten people was now reduced to ashes, and the people who stayed inside last night had been burned alive.
It is said that those who were infected did not have the strength to escape when the fire was burning. The only doctor who had the strength to escape fell down after running more than ten meters.
But at this moment, the bodies of all the people who died in the fire were neatly arranged on the charred land.
Flames can kill viruses. Since ancient times, the most common and effective way for humans to face plagues is to set fires. After a fire, all viruses are annihilated.
The eldest prince of the Valyrian Empire was standing in front of a row of charred corpses. The air was full of burnt and stench, but Horos didn't care. Then he squatted down in front of a corpse.
At the same time, he asked without looking back.
"Have you found out the cause of the fire last night?"
"Not yet, Your Highness."
"It may be that the doctor accidentally caught fire while burning the white cover grass."
The guard on the side quickly shook his head and said, this place was strictly isolated last night, and no outsiders could approach it. The only possibility is that he caught fire.
After all, the place was full of smoke yesterday, and alfalfa was burning all the time. Albus alba is the kind of herb whose burning smoke can drive away viruses. In this case, it is easy to cause a fire.
"Is it?"
And Heros held a wooden stick picked up from the ground and fiddled with the corpse in front of him, and then asked again.
"Attis, what about you?"
"Did you see anything?"
The Kingsguard of Heros, a giant over four meters tall, shook his head and spoke with a rumble.
"No, Heros, I fell asleep yesterday."
The giant stood high and could see far. Heros originally expected Attis to see something, but when the fire broke out yesterday, the giant was already asleep, so he saw nothing.
On the other side, the Governor of the Riverlands, Hendry Bracken, was wearing a green cloak and had a beard on his chin.
He looked at the burned scene in front of him and the neatly arranged corpses on the ground, with a slightly uneasy look on his face, as if he had something on his mind.
And Helos didn't see it as he was squatting. He used a wooden stick to fiddle with the corpses of the victims one by one. Now this was the third body. However, although the corpse in front of him had been burned beyond recognition, Heros still
They recognized each other at a glance.
He is the same military doctor who accompanied the army yesterday.
Then Heros used a wooden stick to help him turn over. However, at this moment, the movements of his hands paused slightly, as if he noticed something.
"Um?"
Heros's eyes narrowed slightly, because although it had been scorched, there was a hole in the neck of the army physician that should not have been there, as if someone had shot an arrow through his neck.
However, Heros was squatting on the ground, his shadow shrouded in front of the body, and no one could see it.
Then he didn't speak, he just let go of the stick, clapped his hands and stood up from the ground, looked around at everyone around him and said.
