Celestial night

The people of Baghdad believed that it was the disaster brought by the evil priests. Everyone witnessed the burning sword of the prince and knew that he subdued the demon god and saved Baghdad.Since then, the girl began to take over the affairs of Baghdad, shed her impetuousness and became mature, and began to take on her responsibilities and inherited the mantle of the old city lord. She was diligent and pragmatic, and developed the city-state step by step, and was deeply loved by the people.

The prince forgave the girl and honored the girl as the lord of Baghdad. She is the princess of Baghdad, the master of Baghdad, and the eternal guardian of Baghdad.She can already be alone and no longer needs to rely on anyone.

Days passed by, and there was turbulence under the calm surface.

Soon, there were some disturbances on the border of Baghdad.There are rumors that the winds from the south are bringing havoc, that in some places it rains and that it rains down fist worms, and that the stench of copper drums and poisonous gas kill people.

This thing is like a clarion call to war.The war without gunpowder has begun.

On the day before the prince left, not only the girl came, but also envoys from other city-states.

The girl then looked at the devil standing behind the prince. The devil's expression was still so gentle. She knew what it was like to be looked at by those eyes, and finally understood why the prince couldn't let go.

The girl let go of all her love for her children, and Kamal has already had some rumors. The darkness is coming, and there will be a bloody storm soon.

"I was originally a person who was guilty. It was you who saved Baghdad. You are the master of fire and the king chosen by God. From now on, in the name of the lord of Baghdad, I promise that the northern city-state will be your solid backing." , I wish you a triumphant return."

The prince was about to go to Bakamal, the country he had lived in for a long time, and he was looking forward to seeing his dear brother. He turned his head and looked at the demon behind him, and nothing could stop him.

The devil had a very bad premonition. He always felt that something would happen. Kamal had something waiting for him.

The devil and the prince set off from Baghdad and crossed the river to the dead silence in the outskirts of Kamal. Wherever they went, they were horrifying, and the corpses piled up so countless that it made one's scalp tingle.

Kamal believes in the Moonman religion, and believes that death is the evil result of Satan. The remains are considered unclean and cannot contaminate other holy fire and earth, and burial and cremation are not practiced.Therefore, their unique funeral customs were born.Generally, the coffin is carried by the relatives and friends of the deceased, and the mourners hold candles and sing dirges until they place the body on the outskirts platform to be pecked by vultures, and finally throw the collected remains into the deep well.

But this number is too wrong, densely packed, all of them are severed fingers and arms, and the corpses are even piled up in the river for several months.

The further they went to the city, the worse the situation became.

A stench hit their faces, making people feel the urge to vomit, and they clutched their headscarves tightly.Cries of pain kept coming, and some people leaned against the wall half dead, vomiting continuously, mouthfuls of light red bile, out of breath.Dead bodies are piled up in the gutters in the city, with bloodshot eyes still hanging from their sharp mouths, some blisters are swollen and begin to rot, and some bodies are stiff and their fingers are still sticking out.There are few passers-by on the road, the form is in a hurry, the eyes are dull, the expression is numb, and it seems to be turning a blind eye to the dying person next to him.

They went from shock at the beginning, to shock and finally to numbness.There is no more noise and bustle than before, and the people in the city seem to have disappeared.The merchants closed their doors behind closed doors, and there was no longer the heavy traffic of the past. It was gray like despair, like a dead city.In the city and on the road, there is no boundary between life and death, the living and the dead are superimposed, the corpses are piled up like mountains, and the victims are countless, but people are too busy to take care of themselves. In this city, there is no tomorrow.

A figure walked down the slope, unsteadily, and suddenly rushed in front of them, revealing the knife in his hand.The prince stepped in front of the devil and took the man's knife.The man under the sackcloth revealed his face.

is a slave girl.

The devil once asked the prince what kind of country Kamal is.

Kamal is in a ring shape and opposite to Baghdad on one side, and connected to the ocean on the other. It has a large number of ports, and the handicraft industry is developed. Ships that go to sea often bring things that have never been heard before. It is the source of all goods and a real trade hub.

But such a country not only sells goods to Mesopotamia, but also sells... slaves.

"You guys are gone, so why come back." The female slave spat at them and smeared them.

The devil thinks this is too strange, what does it mean to leave and come back?Before he had time to think, the prince said:

"You seem to be mistaken. We are businessmen from Baghdad."

The devil wanted to take a step forward to lift up the slave girl, but the prince stopped his hand and pulled up the slave girl who fell on the ground.The female slave took two steps back in shock.Only then did I realize what I did wrong.Only after finding out that the prince and his party were not malicious, did they realize that they had admitted to the wrong person.

Give them an apologetic salute.

"My dear guest from afar, I'm so sorry. My name is Morgana."

The demon looked at her. Although she was a slave, she was well dressed and had no wounds on her body.

The demon wanted to ask her what happened.The girl looked around, feeling a little jealous.Take them to her place.

The further you go inside, the quieter the place becomes.

They entered a bungalow, which was very dilapidated and had only one lamp.The light flickered on the slave girl's face, she was calm and her statements were reasonable and orderly.

The slave girl spoke to them.This plague came fiercely without warning.First came piles of rats, then people, then all kinds of livestock, without exception.

You can hear a needle drop on the ground.

It is rumored that this is Kamal's third prophecy, the real catastrophe---the plague.

Infected men and women, at first the groin or armpits suddenly swell up, and then it grows bigger and bigger, some are like apples, some are like eggs, and most people call this lump "epidemic tumor".Soon the death-like "epidemic tumor" will spread to all parts of the body, and finally the symptoms will change rapidly. Black spots appear on the patient's buttocks, legs and other parts of the body, which are thin and dense. , will undoubtedly die.

Suddenly, there was a burst of dense footsteps.She quickly blew out the candle.Tell them to get down and keep quiet.

The room was very small and cramped, they were already leaning against the corner, and the prince pressed the devil under him with lightning speed.The devil could hear the prince's powerful heartbeat, but they couldn't see each other's faces clearly in the darkness, only the sound of intertwined breathing.The devil's expression was a little unnatural, and he felt a little hot for no reason, and wanted to stay away, but he didn't expect the prince's arms to wrap around his waist and brought him back, whispering in his ear, "Don't move."

After they left, the female slave got up gently and lit the candle. "There is a curfew here. Those are soldiers. If you meet anyone who is still on the street, you will be killed." The female slave said.

The female slave continued to say that the plague spread so fast that people had no power to fight back, and people would die within three days.

Fortunately, nobles have doctors who can let bloodlet for treatment, and no matter how bad they are, there are leeches that can suck blood.But poor people, especially slaves, can only ask for more.Some even say seeing a red hood prevents everything.

The slaves are basically illiterate, and half of them do hard work. All the books are monopolized by the first-class people. She is also lucky to be able to read and know the herbs. She wants to save people, but when she looks for the herbs, she sees that you recognize the wrong person.The slave girl glanced at the robes on them.

The next day the slave girl continued to look for herbs, and the prince and the devil accompanied her.

The devil had heard the prince say it.There are three classes in Kamal, the first class is the upper ruling class nobles and moon people, the second class is free people, and the rest are slaves.

This area is the outermost circle of Kamal where the slaves live, but in fact all of them belong to the slave owners. Some people can barely have a straw shed, and some can only live under the cowshed.Dirty.

On the road there is a procession of carriages moving slowly.

The caravan is decorated gorgeously, and the people sitting in the car are wearing gold belts and silver and smelling flowers, so that they can turn a blind eye to the surroundings. Next to him are many lovers and concubines, which are in stark contrast to the surrounding rags. Man's hand holds a white ticket.

"That's an aristocrat," said the slave girl.bow your head.

"He who is followed by chains is a slave." Only the first class can own slaves.

"And only nobles have doctors and priests." The female slave pointed to the man with the beak mask and the priest in black.

"Where are they going?" asked the Prince.

The slave girl was about to say that she was interrupted by a cry.

A ragged man with scars on his body hugged a child with a small ball in his armpit, crying.

"My lord, please, I only have this last child. Please let the doctor see you." The man trembled for a while, he was already trying his own life, a slave collided with a noble, and he could only die. There is no choice.

He saw that the nobleman did not respond.

"Or just give me one... just one redemption scroll." Tried to kneel on the ground and begged humbly, all the eyes behind the door trembled.

The nobleman glanced at him in disgust, he was a slave without a master.

Suddenly the child vomited.The slave was very panicked.

The nobleman immediately covered his eyes with a robe, desperately sucking the flowers in his hands, absurd and funny.He believed that the plague was brought by the eyes, and that the flowers in the hand could resist the stench and prevent the disease.

"This lowly person is disgusting for nothing. I just want to go to the next hot spring resort and meet you, an unappetizing thing."

"You want this?" The nobleman waved the white note in his hand.

The slave looked at that longingly, it was the last hope.

And then he watched Hope being torn to pieces right in front of him.

"I have many, but you are not worthy," said the nobleman.

Slaves themselves are commodities and assets, which can be sold, mortgaged, and even life and death, let alone slaves without owners.Slaves themselves are not human beings and should be trampled on at will.

Everyone is watching from the crack of the door, the eyes of thousands of slaves.

"Get rid of him." The nobleman threw a gold coin to the soldier next to him.

The soldiers stepped forward and ended their lives without hesitation.

"Classes are insurmountable, slaves are slaves for life, and your descendants will be slaves." The female slave clenched her fists.

The nobles of Kamal are extravagant, extravagant, and endlessly plundering the people. The slaves are forced to do heavy labor and exploit them cruelly.The nobles even raised taxes on merchants, lent usury, forcing them to become poor and bankrupt as slaves.

After the plague came, some nobles indulged in joy, tried their best to satisfy their desires, and laughed at everything that happened around them. When a large number of slaves who could not afford transportation were forced to stay in the epidemic area to die, they rode in gorgeous The carriage travels between various famous and famous church holy places.They bought a lot of indulgences and were baptized and blessed by priests.

After they left, many slaves stood up, their eyes fixed on the direction of the nobles, and there was unprecedented anger in them.The crowd kept shrinking, and finally surrounded the dead father and son, and everyone was praying.

The devil glanced at the prince, and inexplicably saw his own reflection in the prince's eyes. He felt that he knew what the prince had to say.

The prince looked at the slave girl and said:

"We can help you heal."

The slave girl looked at him suspiciously.

"What do you want?" the slave girl asked.

The prince stepped forward and set fire to the bodies of the father and son.

"Holy fire will surely take innocent souls to heaven." The light in the prince's eyes is like the sun dispelling all dark clouds and shining on all living beings.

The author has something to say:

1. The customs of the Moon Sect here refer to the ancient Zoroastrianism.

2. Reference books 1. "The Plague" 2. "The Decameron"

3. The Atonement Scrolls also existed in the Middle Ages at that time.
