Becoming the villain of the white moonlight [Quick Transmigration]

Sound waves—waves surged, and civilians pouring in from all directions surrounded the hut.Someone lit a torch with old clothes stained with grease, and in an instant, the surrounding bright flames dyed the night red.

Standing in front of the shack with folded arms, Harrison sneered, "Look, Xavier, this is your senseless kindness."

"No," Bai Ze thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I was wrong."

Harrison was wondering how this guy Xavier would admit his mistake so quickly, and he heard him say bitterly: "I really overestimated the education level of the residents of Cancy City."

"The first textbook should not be "Infectious Diseases", it should be "Approaching Science"."

Harrison: "..."

Between the two of them talking, the fire outside was still approaching.

The dazzling flames suddenly illuminated the short flaxen hair, the sharp saber at the waist, and the gleaming golden family crest on the chest.

"Your Excellency the Viscount?!"

The person who led this group of believers was Old John, who owned a grain and oil store in the city.He happened to meet the castellan's only son at a dinner party, and he was proud of it, showing off the encounter to several neighbors.

Seeing Viscount Louis walking out of the shed in surprise, Old John was a little confused about his relationship with the wizard in the house.

He stopped immediately and asked with concern: "Good day, Your Excellency, are you also here to execute the evil black wizard?"

"No, quite the opposite." Louie sighed.

He raised his head and stared at the civilians in front of him.

Contrary to the huge momentum, as far as the eye can see, there are not many civilians left intact behind Old John. Almost all of them have large blood spots caused by the Black Death, and some have even developed a high fever. I can't even stand upright, and I need the support of my family.

The plague was originally a highly contagious disease with a high fatality rate. Once it progressed to the stage of pneumonic plague, it could kill people within three or four days.

Few of the city's residents are completely healthy today, and most of them are infected with the plague, or at least one family member is infected with the plague.It is precisely because of the menacing epidemic that these civilians are easily incited to kill the black wizard who caused the plague.

But they don't know...it's actually useless to do so.

Not only would it have no effect, it would even waste my only hope of survival.

Louis ignored Old John's graciousness, he raised his voice, drew out his saber, and said sternly, "Everyone back down."

"Your Excellency the Viscount??"

Louie's personal voice strangely overwhelmed the commotion of hundreds of people shouting "Burn him!"

Out of awe of the lord, the civilians who were about to rush to the shed stopped, and took half a step back hesitantly.

They looked at Louis with puzzled eyes, waiting for his next order.

"..."

Louis put his sword back into its sheath, and walked in front of Bai Ze under the watchful eyes of the leaders. His brown riding boots stepped on the stone-paved ground, making a crisp sound.

A trace of hesitation flashed in the gray-blue pupils, and then turned into firmness.

"Boom" sound, the knee hit the ground heavily.

The torches held by the civilians illuminated the dim twilight, under the disbelieving eyes of all the citizens, Louis knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty Xavier, I beg you to forgive these ignorant civilians in front of you. "

"And... and regardless of past suspicions, save the 10,000+ innocent residents of Canxi City."

Perhaps because he knew that his request was too much, he—Zhang Junmei's face flushed red, and his gray-blue eyes looked up at Bai Ze imploringly.

"Why?" Harrison seemed about to yell and beat up the little boy in front of him who couldn't do anything but be a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage, but Bai Ze stopped him.

Bai Ze smiled and asked Louis: "I can try to save them, but what can you pay?"

One day ago, Viscount Louis, who was paying respectful greetings to the Dark Mage, made a similar request. At that time, Bai Ze also asked him: "Why should I save Kanxi City? What price can you pay for this?"

Louis was still a little hesitant that day, so Bai Ze stayed in the shed to help, and calmed down by the way.But now he has completely thought it through.

"I..." Louis took a deep breath, facing hundreds of civilians gathered outside the shed.

These people are ignorant, ignorant, and delusional, but they are their own citizens. From the day he took over the position of Kanxi City Lord, he is destined to be responsible for these civilians.

Louis bowed his head and untied the saber from his waist, held it up in both hands, and handed it to Bai Ze respectfully.

The golden scabbard is engraved with the family medal passed down from generation to generation by the Kansi lord—the golden lily flower entwined in the blazing thorns, which symbolizes the supreme ruling power of the Kanxi lord, which is a secular power bestowed by the king. The church cannot take it away.

"From today onwards, Kanxi City is no longer under the rule of the church, and no longer believes in the God of Light," Louis said.

"We only believe in you."

"No," Bai Ze shook his head, facing Louis' anxious gaze, he said, "What you believe in is science."

After finishing speaking, he reached for the glass next to him that smelled like rotten eggs, and Bai Ze solemnly placed it in Louis' palm.

"Isn't it true that if you take an oath of allegiance, you should be granted a token?" he asked the law.

law:"……"

I searched for the rules—common tokens in this small world—crowns, scepters, medals... No matter how bad it is, there is a gold seal inlaid with gems.

It euphemistically said, isn't your token a bit too cheap?

……not at all.

Bai Ze glanced at Louis who was kneeling at his feet, and said, "Who said that? Look how happy he is smiling."

Following his gaze, Law saw ecstasy blooming on the handsome face of Viscount Louis. He stared at the glass bottle with strange color and unique smell in his hand, as if he was holding some peerless treasure.

Viscount Louis even took out a silk handkerchief embroidered with lilies in gold thread, carefully wiped the glass bottle several times, and then took off his snow-white shirt and put it at the bottom of the glass.

"You actually, actually trusted me so much, and gave me such a precious potion..." He was so happy that he was at a loss and was incoherent.

law:"……"

I don't understand the illiterate world.

What Faru didn't expect was that the scene in front of him was actually written into the history book of Small World many years later. The author described it like this -

"The bottle of antibiotics granted to Louis by the Archmage Xavier symbolizes the end of theocracy, and the fire of science is rising in the city of Cancy, which is full of plagues. Since then, the exploration of the unknown and the never-ending curiosity have replaced the gods. Pity, become the eternal theme of this continent."

As "the most precious gift ever", this bottle of legendary antibiotics was placed in a museum in the middle of the mainland for future generations to visit, and even got the nickname "St. Antibiotics".

——Although the medicine in it was used up at that time, there was only an empty bottle left.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

·

Louis' oath of allegiance was more than that.

Early the next morning, he ordered the clerk to call all residents who could still move, and announced his decision on the City Hall Square in the center of the city.

"Your Excellency Saint Denise—had left Kanxi City a week ago, and the bishop and above personnel in the Kanxi City Church evacuated at the same time as her. We have long been abandoned by the God of Light."

"The church also issued a warning to other cities. The thirteen nearby city-states rejected the request of Kansi City at the same time and would not accept refugees from Kanxi City."

"Continue to follow the instructions of the church, do nothing, and the only thing waiting for us is death - the way."

On the square that was used to execute wizards in the past, the hideous burning frame was unloaded, and white quicklime and hydrogen peroxide were sprinkled.

Louis used his eloquence as the successor of the city lord, recalling to everyone the prosperity of Kanxi City and the gloomy present.

Louis' voice became more and more gloomy, and his expression became more and more sad. Finally, his emotions reached a climax when he recalled that the maid of the Santo's Mansion put two dead mice under the old Santo's bed under the instigation of the church.

"No, that's impossible!"

The civilians looked at each other, and it was hard to believe what they had just heard from the new city lord, and it was even harder to believe that there was such a truth behind the death of the old city lord.

However, Louis raised his voice unquestionably, and instantly overwhelmed their doubts.

"Don't the people in the church know that rats are the source of the plague? They do! Otherwise, why would they tear up the notices in the city so that no one can see them?"

"Then don't they know how to prevent and control the plague? They also know! Otherwise, please recall that the plague in Kanxi City has been broken out for nearly a month. Why is it that only the church died the least?"

"But the priests, bishops, and archbishops we believe in...Your Excellency, they still did this. Because the evil plague must be caused by wizards, only in this way can we believe in the glory of the God of Light."

"I announce that all members of the church will be expelled from the city of Kanxi within three days. They can take part of their property, but not a piece of paper. Civilians who do not want to change their beliefs can leave with them..."

"From now on, Canxi City is no longer ruled by the church, we believe in science."

"Just trust the science."

It is not that there are no church members in the square. Denise only took away the high-level people above the district bishop, and most of the low-level church personnel were left in Kanxi City by her.

At this moment, they heard the words of the city lord and protested.

"This is slander! Naked slander!"

"How could His Excellency know the cure for the plague sent down by the gods?"

"The Lord Kanxi is a blasphemer, he is looking for a reason for his betrayal!"

"Burn him!"

"Very good." A smile appeared on Louis's face.
