Chapter 320 The source of the plague
Crown Prince Henry walked down the street with a heavy heart.

Plague is the enemy of all living people.

Although his body has been baptized by the potion, he should not be affected by the attack, but most of the knights under him have only drank the potion once, so they may not be able to withstand the plague.

Moreover, what the female knight said was right, under this disaster, no one can expect to be alone.

"Look, Your Highness!"

The knight under his command reminded.

There is a team of well-trained Varangian guards in front of them. They carried the imperial flag representing the Royal Guards and wore face-covering helmets, and they came to the gate of the city with a murderous look.

"Your Majesty has an order to close the city gate immediately, and no one can enter or leave. Anyone who violates the order will be executed."

Seeing the majestic earl commander who came to the city gate to issue orders, Crown Prince Henry was slightly startled: "It seems that we don't need to do anything extra, the news from Her Majesty the Queen is more timely than ours."

A bearded knight turned pale: "Your Highness, is there really going to be a plague?"

Crown Prince Henry smiled bitterly: "If it's not true, why did this Baselissa order the city gate to be closed?"

There was a trace of fear on the faces of the knights.

When the plague comes, no matter how brave and skilled the knight is, he will only become a poor wretch lying on the bed, withered and dying step by step.

Crown Prince Henry frowned: "Are you afraid now? Isn't it the plague? You are all warriors who have drunk the wolf's blood potion. Are you not as brave as a woman?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the back of the woman who was riding on the horse and was running towards the city without looking back.

"She has already rushed to protect the lord she served. I now ask you, half of you will escort me back to the embassy immediately. Knight Roland, you take the other half to the market to buy food and bacon. Next, we may have to Been stuck in the embassy for quite some time."

The knights woke up like a dream, and kissed the crown prince's finger one after another, repenting for their wavering beliefs.

Brahena Palace.

The queen looked at the famous doctors "invited" by her, and heard them scrambling to introduce their "anti-plague recipes", she couldn't help frowning.

The Eastern Empire did not have the position of court physician. If the royal family members suffered from diseases, Anna and her apprentices would heal them.

Under the influence of her ears and eyes, the queen also learned a lot of "common medical knowledge".

Therefore, when she heard the weird prescriptions from these famous doctors, or they turned a corner and asked her to reward some gold, silver and gemstones for dispensing the medicine, her face naturally became a little ugly.

I only heard an elderly doctor with a wrinkled face unknowingly pushed away the "competitor" and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, here I offer you an amulet that can ward off the plague—it's a hole drilled with hazelnuts, It is made of infused mercury, and when worn on the body, it can live a long life."

Seeing that the Queen's brows were tightly furrowed, he quickly added: "In addition to this talisman, I also found a precious prescription in an ancient book. You only need to grind the dragon tooth grass, the root of the southern star, the peony root and the turquoise into powder. Take it, it can also cure the plague."

The queen finally spoke: "But my court wizard told me that mercury is very poisonous."

"No, this is absolutely impossible, Your Majesty, please believe me. I swear that many people have been cured by me. They are all my witnesses. I can invite them to testify for me!"

The elderly doctor's face changed slightly, and he argued vigorously.

Queen Lagaia frowned: "Theseus, let these doctors try their treatment on themselves first, and if they are still alive, then send these liars who tried to fool me to the gallows."

The court garment maker named Theseus tried his best to open those gloomy little eyes with a respectful voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

La Gaia watched the eunuch she trusted leave, and couldn't help but sighed softly.

There was a rare trace of weakness on her majestic face: "Is it true that the heavenly father no longer favors the empire? I have just seen the possibility of the revival of the empire, and am I about to follow in Justinian's footsteps?"

"Anna, the Empire, it's up to you this time."

She lay weakly on the throne, looking at the shrines at the other end of the hall with a confused expression, and the portraits of the Five Worthy Emperors hanging not far away.

...

Lothar pulled out the hot long sword in his hand, which looked like it had just been taken out of the blacksmith's forge, and inserted his backhand into the chest of a horror demon who was sneaking up from behind - the monster that appeared suddenly wailed. Covered in flames, screaming and struggling on the ground, Lothar cut off his head.

This monster that resembles a black goat standing upright has the ability to dwell in the shadows.

Under the premise of not actively showing up, they are almost invincible.

This is probably the reason why they were not swallowed by this seemingly endless swarm of rats.

"Aren't you hurt?"

Lothar looked at Eve.

Along the way, this slovenly witch provided him and Anna with a lot of help, and it was a vivid interpretation for Lothar of what it means to be "a person should not be judged by his appearance".

"No...no."

Eve shook her head, her blue eyes peeked at Lothar from between her disheveled hair, and then retracted immediately.

They still haven't found Lienna.

The ground after the swarm of rats raged was full of messy paw prints and dripping pus.

This makes it difficult for a group of people to effectively track.

Moreover, finding Lienna was not their primary goal.

Stop this catastrophe.

Anna casually discarded an empty bottle in the sewage river. It contained the same mental recovery potion as the "Blue Moon" that Lothar drank before.

This meant that Anna's mental power was about to bottom out.

The rats they encountered were too many, and the more they walked in, the denser they became.

Although Anna is also good at using swordsmanship, it is obviously not suitable for dealing with enemies like rats.

And the large-scale destructive spell consumes an astonishing amount of mana.

Anna stopped suddenly. In front of her was a solid stone wall, with only a narrow passage in the middle.

"I feel the breath of magic. Eve, what do you think?"

Eve said in a voice as thin as a gnat, "Maybe it's an induction circle."

"Whatever it is, it's yet another proof that someone is behind these rats."

Anna looked around.

Lothar also tried to observe with spiritual vision, and found that there was a faint magical aura lingering on the wall in front of him and in the corners.

"We have no choice but to keep going."

A group of people passed through the circle without feeling anything unusual.

However, soon there was another rustling sound in front of them. They were already quite familiar with this movement.

"Recover your mental strength first, this time it will be me."

When Lothar came to Anna, the red gem on the cross sword gauntlet in his hand suddenly burst into light.

The cross sword in his hand slammed and turned into a burning torch, illuminating the ground covered with a layer of translucent pus.

Lothar opened his mouth and suddenly spit out scorching dragon breath.

The dragon core treasure on the cross sword is shining brightly, and the power stored in it is the same as that of Lothar, pouring into his body like a tide.

A billowing heat wave was coming.

The squeaking screams soon stopped.

Lothar looked at the remaining flames in the passage, and said softly, "Let's continue."

Anna asked, "How much mental power did you consume just now?"

Lothar shook his head and said: "Not much, the dragon core treasure stores all the power of my half-dragon transformation to cast the dragon's breath once, plus it mobilized the extra magic power for me, it should only account for one-fifth."

It didn't take him that long to cast Dragon's Breath this time.

If there were more rats, the consumption would not be so low.

His blue bar is still a little short.

"Fortunately."

As this wave of rats was wiped out, they continued to move forward for a long time without encountering any new rats.

Until the end of the deep corridor.

Here is an open stone chamber.

Clear spring water flows from the cave at the top, forming a lake in the center of the stone chamber.

Compared with the outside, this place is like a paradise.

There wasn't any nasty filth in sight, nor the pus dripping from rats that had been everywhere before.

A beautiful woman with her eyes closed and naked is hanging directly above the lake.

Hear movement.

The woman slowly opened her lake blue eyes: "You are here."

"You made those mice?"

Anger was suppressed in Anna's voice.

"it's me."

The corners of the woman's mouth curled up slightly, as if she had been told what she was most proud of.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

The woman smiled and said, "I want to do an experiment."

"Experiment what?"

"Experiment how many people can survive under this severe plague and successfully obtain immunity to this plague."

The anger in Anna's heart became deeper and deeper: "Are you crazy?"

The woman shook her head, she pointed to her head, with a faint smile on her innocent face.

"I'm sober, Anna of the Levantine Wizarding Association."

"You should also know that even if many plagues entangle ordinary people, they won't make much difference. I want to know, what is working? Why some people have it, while others don't."

"You know, this is definitely not the favorite of the heavenly father. There must be some other factors that determine whether a person will be destroyed by the plague."

There was a hint of fanaticism on the woman's face: "Just like those mice, they have found a way to coexist with the Black Death. I am looking forward to the fact that humans can do the same."

"Mad, you're just a lunatic!"

Anna thought that the mastermind behind the plague of rats was an ambitious man, an enemy full of hatred for the empire, but she never thought that her reason was so ridiculous.

"Lothar, Eve, let's go together and kill her!"
