Tyrant Code

As soon as the door was opened, a male corpse lying on the ground came into view.His blue-black skin was covered with deep red blood sores, one hand was placed on the chest, and the mouth was wide open... It seemed that he wanted to inhale hard before death, but failed in the end.

"...This is one of the two brothers." Rhine said with a sigh.

He had only been away from the village for three days, and the man could no longer hold on.

Rhine frowned, knelt down and said to Afu, "Hey, you go home and stay with your mother first. I'll go see her illness later."

Although Afu was curious, she thoughtfully chose not to cause trouble for the adults, nodded, and left with the bucket.

After watching Rhine settle the children, Atrichia asked, "Who is this one who has died?"

Rhine clutched his nose, walked to the side of the corpse, and tried to identify the face with a strange face. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"...This should be Peake Rodney. He just turned 20 years old this year. He has a 25-year-old brother named Lecco." After all, this is a relatively special case, and Rhine still remembered the information about the two brothers. Li, "Their father died early, and the mother seems to have remarried to another place, so there are only two brothers in the family."

Sai Lun: "Just the two of them? Are neither of their brothers married?"

Sai Lun asked this question because in this era, being single is the privilege of the nobility—poor people generally get married around the age of 15, which is already the age of parenthood.And if it is the powerful class, even the nobles who are anxious to get married will save their daughters to marry later.Of course, when the royal families of various countries marry, this rule will not take effect again.If it is due to political needs, the prince and princess who have engaged to be engaged may also hold the wedding immediately after the christening ceremony at the age of 12.

If Sai Lun hadn't been "exiled" by his family to Sai Lanca, he might have a noble fiancée now.

But the Rodney brothers are "a lot of age" and they are not married.This is a little surprising.

"...What's the problem with you?" Goldo raised his forehead, "Why aren't they married? Don't you know when you take a look at their home?"

It was only then that Sai Lun endured the stench and decayed smell, and came to this dim house, and found that it was not an exaggeration to describe this house as "a house with four walls".

"Okay, I understand." Salem said with a sigh.

"He is already like this. I think his brother's chances of surviving are not high." Rhine said, walking deeper into the room and bypassing a dirt wall, he found a shapeless man on the bed. The bruised man was different from the previous corpse in that the blood on the skin of that corpse had solidified, while this man's wound was still bubbling with blood.

"...Lyco is still alive." Rhine seemed to be relieved. Regardless of the blood on Layko's face, he stretched out his fingers to pick his eyelids, and leaned closer to his chest to listen for a while, "He's still alive. Fortunately. We caught up."

As he said that, Rhine collected a few bottles and cans and a few packets of powder from his waist.

"Can you bring me some clean water? It doesn't need a lot, half a bowl is enough," he said.

After hearing this, Sai Lun searched the house and found an old earthen pot lying beside the bed, so he took the earthen pot to fetch water from the stream.

When he got the water back, Rhine opened a packet of powder and was about to pour it into the water. Gordo stopped him: "Don't you boil the water first?"

Rhine was taken aback: "...Why do you boil the water?"

Goldo didn't know how to explain it to him, so he asked him in another way: "Boil the water and let it cool down, and then put these things in. Will this affect the effect of the medicine?"

Rhine: "That's not true... Even if the water is boiled, the water is just pure water and will not affect the medicine."

Goldo patted him on the shoulder: "Then listen to me and boil it."

Rhine was confused, but he still listened to Goldo's words.After all, the other party is a priest, so he should have some precious knowledge that he doesn't know.

"Does the water have to be boiled to be used in medicine?" Rhine muttered to himself, "What is the principle of this..."

Goldo ignored his question, and stood silently by the side, pretending he didn't hear anything.

As far as Goldo knew, most potions needed to be boiled.In the process of boiling, high-temperature sterilization can naturally be completed, but it is required.But this time Rhine purified the potion, and planned to mix the powder with water and feed it directly to people... I don't know if the water in this river is enough to meet the health standard of drinking water?In short, just boil the water first, there is no harm at all.

If Lyco had a stomachache because of drinking unboiled water at such a critical moment... then he would definitely die.

After a while of fuss, Rhine finally got a quick potion and poured it down.

It cannot be cured by medicine, but it can hang his life.

Sure enough, after feeding the medicine, Lecco woke up within a quarter of an hour——

A pair of lake-green, moist eyes were watching him with concern.After seeing him wake up, the faint joy rippled in those eyes like ripples, like a gentle spring breeze, blowing into Lecco's heart, making him feel a little dazed for a while.

"Great, you're awake." The girl with an angelic face pursed her lips and smiled, the sweat on her white and tender forehead looked so cute, "Are you all right, can you hear me?"

Lecco took a weak breath, and after confirming that he was still alive, he muttered to himself:

"Holy Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven... Is this the last mercy you bestow on me?"

Otherwise, how could there be such a gentle and pure girl at the bedside of a dying man?

Thinking of this, Lecco felt that the burning blood sores all over his body seemed to be less painful.

As he thought this way, he greedily refused to close his eyes, hoping to gaze at the girl in the illusion for a while before dying, with a tired but relieved smile on his lips.

Then, this angelic girl seemed to turn around, and said to someone: "...Why is his expression so strange, can't it be hysteria?"

Yatrixia came over to take a look, and said coldly, "He's not hysterical anymore, he's about to ascend to heaven."

Gordon: "What should I do then?"

Yatricia: "Let him re-acquaint himself with reality."

Rhine was puzzled for a moment, then understood, picked up a small bottle next to him, and sprinkled some strong medicinal powder on Lecco's wound to remove rot and reduce swelling.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!"

Lecco, who was lying on the bed, instantly convulsed subconsciously in pain.

The severe pain blurred his vision, but it also cleared his mind a lot.

"Don't worry, this medicine is good for your wound." Rhine couldn't see it, but explained gently.

Lyco panted weakly, finally realized the current situation, and asked with some vigilance: "Who are you?"

Goldo showed him the cross he was holding in his palm: "We are priests, here to heal the people here."

Lyco seemed to relax his vigilance a little, but he finally said without hope: "Aren't you already planning to give up the people in our village? Could it be that a certain nobleman also suffered from the same strange disease as us, You had no choice but to go back to the village to look for clues?"

Lecco's tone was a little aggressive, and he coughed violently after speaking.

"We are here to inquire about the news." Rhine tried to reassure him, "Please believe us, we really want to cure everyone in the village."

Because Rhine was so sincere, Lecco originally wanted to ask a lot of doubts, but finally shut up.

"...Then what do you want to do, what do you need me to do?" Lyco shrank back subconsciously, and said weakly.

Although he had a crush on the girl in front of him, he subconsciously thought that he couldn't handle such a person.

"Nothing." Goldo asked tentatively, "I just wanted to ask a few questions to save you. We have already investigated the origin of this strange disease, which is the well not far from the field—you Do you have any impression of that well?"

Lecco froze instantly.

"I have an impression. Anyone who lives in the village has an impression of that well." He replied.

"Then before you got sick, did you touch the well?" Goldo asked.

"No." Lecco replied bluntly, and his eyes were a little wandering.It can be seen that his heart is also very confused.But he was obviously trying to hide something.

"Really not?" Goldo repeated.

Lecco replied firmly: "No! What's more, people in our village have used that well for so many years, why would there be a problem—"

Yatrixia said indifferently: "Of course someone put something that shouldn't be put in the well. For example, a pile of treasures cursed by black magic or something."

It was almost a straight ball.

Atrium's clichés are almost non-technical.But looking at Lecco's instantly collapsed face, Goldo felt that he could almost draw a conclusion.Lyco knew of the existence of the crown and couldn't get rid of it.

"Did you throw those things into the well?" He asked curiously.

Lyco was sweating coldly: "What well, what cursed treasure, I don't know what you are talking about!"

Goldo didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, and threw the cloth bag he was carrying into his arms.When Lecco saw the black cloth bag, he seemed to have seen some kind of scourge. He screamed and moved back, but he couldn't get up because of the weakness of his limbs. On the contrary, the gold in the cloth bag was revealed little by little, including the crown.

The crown rolled on Lecco's legs, and the wound on his body that was no longer bleeding instantly burst open, but the blood sore wriggled as if alive——

"Stop!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Rhine shouted loudly, "He's dying—"

So Goldo quickly wrapped his hands in cloth, and fished out the pile of gold and silver treasures from Lecco's arms.

Lecco was bleeding all over his body, but the amount of bleeding was not large, and he was not in danger of life for the time being, but his expression was extremely painful.

"Now do you believe what I say is true?" Goldo asked. "The source of this strange disease is this enchanted crown. But the crown does not sink into the well where many people drink for no reason. Go in. Whether you knew it or not - I guess you didn't, but if you threw this crown down the well, you're responsible for this 'plague'. You've got to tell us, you Where did this crown come from. Otherwise this plague will never end...until all who are already sick die."

"Your brother is dead." Gordon said with a sigh, "So, do you want to live on?"

For a moment, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Collet's expression makes people think that he is like a piece of dead wood.

"...Who did you say died?" He asked dryly.

"Your brother died at the door." Goldo replied, "I heard his name was Pique? He was younger than you, but his body didn't seem to be as strong as yours."

"Of course, of course...he is not as strong as me, nor as courageous as me." Collet spat out a mouthful of blood, as if he had fallen into some kind of confusion, "He warned me not to continue, I did not Listen to him—”

"So what did you do?" Rhine asked involuntarily.

"I didn't mean to. I really didn't mean to!" he exclaimed. "I just stumbled across that tomb...I don't know who the owner of that tomb is, but I saw something I've never seen in my life. This treasure... I should have known it earlier, how could the person who owns such a funeral object be an ordinary person—"

As he spoke, Collet couldn't help twitching.

Rhine hurriedly reached out to fix his chin to prevent him from biting his tongue.

Gordon sighed, feeling that the question could not be continued for the time being, he turned his head and said, "Teacher——"

But Yatricia standing by the bed frowned tightly, his face was as white as a piece of paper, he closed his eyes tightly, and whispered: "I'm fine..."

After a long while, he opened his eyes, and the dark green eyes seemed to be washed by dark water waves.He stared blankly at the crown on the table beside him, as if the radiant treasure had attracted all his attention.

"I'm fine." He repeated it again as if dreaming.
