Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Sandy actually stayed for Miss Emily's studies, and also waited for Kashen to come back and meet him.

He also received the most generous treatment. The castle paid a considerable amount of money and commissioned the Magic Association to make a batch of thunder element potions for Sendi so that he could practice with peace of mind.

In preparation for Zhuangzhuang, the slaughterhouse processed the hearts and livers of the animals and fed them to him. After being marinated with magic potion, Zhuangzhuang loved them so much that he gobbled them up voraciously.

After March, when winter comes...

A plague breaks out in Shadowmoon City...

It is said that some time ago, the peaceful Sheldon Castle encountered a sudden change.

A large number of ragged, skinny victims came like a tide from the distant Quaker Province, and finally crowded on the other side of the River Plenty near Sheldon Castle.

Each of these disaster victims seemed to be suffering from hunger and cold, and their appearance was so miserable that it made people feel pity.

A rough estimate shows that the number of victims is as high as 20,000. Rupert is in a deep dilemma...

You have to know that the Queek Province is a force hostile to them. According to common sense, they should be vigilant and reject people from the hostile side.

However, these disaster victims are innocent lives. They are just ordinary people who have been displaced and made homeless by natural disasters.

What's more, Sheldon is in urgent need of a large number of laborers. If these disaster victims can be taken in, not only can their lives be saved, but also new vitality can be injected into the development of the city.

Just as Rupert was struggling with his feelings, he suddenly remembered a law that Tan Aili had established before taking charge - it was strictly forbidden to allow any strangers into the city.

The words that Tan Aili had said to him and Emily at the beginning seemed to still echo in his ears:

"Rupert, Emily! You must remember that the church's methods are endless and varied.

Maybe one day a group of hungry people will come to us for help, but remember not to take them in easily, 80% of them are conspiracies and tricks played by the church. People's hearts are unpredictable, and the evil of human nature must be guarded against..."

Despite this, Rupert still did not give up completely. After all, through their own unique intelligence channels, they learned that 80% of the area in Queke Province suffered from a serious locust plague this autumn.

It was the end of autumn and we were about to enter a bitterly cold winter. The local crops had failed and people were starving everywhere.

Every day, many victims lost their precious lives due to hunger. The scene was simply horrific.

Faced with such a situation, Rupert really couldn't bear to ignore the victims' desperate pleas.

Rupert still couldn't bear it, so he organized people to bring the people in, arranged for them to be fed first, and then spent three days registering them, checking them, and sending them to the city for resettlement.

When the city was massacred, a large number of stone houses were left ownerless. They were used to house the starving people. Each household was given money to help them through the harsh winter, and all the resettlement fees were paid by Sheldon Castle.

But not long after, a plague broke out in Shadowmoon City, and it fell into trouble in an instant. This happened not long after the city was opened for business, and it was a heavy blow to Shadowmoon City, which had finally slowly recovered its prosperity.

The plague was like a demon from hell, which came to the world silently, and then swept across the earth with overwhelming force, leaving behind devastation and endless sorrow.

When the plague first shows signs of spreading, it often spreads in an inconspicuous residential area in a corner of the city.

At first, perhaps only one or two people suddenly fell ill with fever, cough, and general weakness. These symptoms did not attract much attention at first.

After all, due to insufficient medical knowledge and low vigilance, people often attribute it to common colds or the work of evil spirits.

However, as time goes by, more and more people are getting sick, and the condition is getting more serious...

The bodies of the patients were quickly eroded by the disease. Their faces turned sallow, then blue-gray, their eyes were sunken, and their lips were chapped and a strange black color.

Red spots or abscesses begin to appear on the body, some even fester and ooze pus, emitting a disgusting stench.

They were tortured by severe headaches and chest pains. Every cough seemed to cough their heart and lungs out of their bodies. There was blood in their sputum, and breathing became increasingly difficult, as if an invisible big hand was tightly strangling their throats.

The streets and alleys of the city were filled with fear. The market was no longer bustling, and the laughter and joy of the past were replaced by dead silence.

Shops were closed one after another, leaving only the doors swaying in the cold wind. Painful groans and the sobbing of loved ones could be heard from the streets from time to time.

Families are torn apart, and loved ones can only watch their sick family members struggle with illness but are powerless to do anything.

Funeral arrangements in plague-ravaged towns became chaotic, with coffins in short supply and many families wrapping their loved ones in straw mats and burying them hastily.

In some places, corpses were scattered all over the ground. The bodies that were not collected were rotting in the sun, breeding more germs. The people in charge of burying the bodies were also worried all day long, fearing that they would be infected by the disease.

Medical resources were so scarce in the face of the plague. Although ancient doctors were kind-hearted, they also faced huge challenges.

The main medicinal materials were also very limited, and some precious medicinal materials were even more difficult to obtain when the plague was prevalent. Doctors rushed around day and night, trying to use various medicinal materials to treat patients, but often with little effect.

In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the city hall will also take some measures. Some places will implement a city blockade and strictly prohibit people from entering or leaving, hoping to contain the plague within a certain range.

However, this also led to a shortage of supplies in the city, soaring prices, and the people fell into deeper suffering.

Some government officials would organize people to disinfect the streets, using lime and other substances to try to kill the germs. But these measures were often just a drop in the bucket in the face of the raging plague.

In this war against the plague, people's spiritual world also suffered a huge blow.

Fear, despair, and helplessness enveloped everyone. Neighbors suspected each other, fearing that the other party was a carrier of the plague. The entire social order became chaotic, and the bottom line of morality was also shaky under the threat of death.

The plague in Shadowmoon City quickly infected the civilian craftsmen on the construction site. Fortunately, a large number of magicians were supervising the construction of the alchemy wall, and they quickly organized manpower to participate in the plague control work.

People from the magic academy got involved and tried their best to research a special medicine. The whole city was under martial law again...

As winter approached, the plague was under control and the losses were heavy. Rupert finally woke up from his dream and felt that Tan Aili was foresighted. She had made more predictions, but he didn't listen.

She had joined the church with her biological father and received special training from the church. How could she not know the church's methods? Her kindness had led to a disaster.

There were countless civilian casualties, and the Mercenary Association ordered a search during this period, but found nothing.

The Assassin's Guild has been quietly investigating the source of the plague and found some clues...

As mentioned earlier, Lillian was arranged by Miss Blainey to develop Rossi Trading Company in Shadowmoon City, and she also gave 20% of the bonus to the Assassin's Guild to maintain the operation of Rossi Trading Company.

After opening the city, Miss Lillian left the Assassin's Guild and led a business trip for the first time, taking sixty assassins with her. They took the Dekeburg route and opened up a trade route for Miss Blaney's fiefdom.

So she is not in Shadowmoon City. She is currently suppressing bandits on the Wodun River front, and has chosen assassins to accompany her, with assassinations being the main method along the way.

Lillian lived in the Assassin's Guild for more than a year and learned the assassin's skills at a cost. She became very proficient in it. Being an orthodox knight was not suitable for Lillian, but she became more and more knowledgeable when she switched to becoming an assassin.
