Warhammer Seal

Chapter 125 The Plague of Carcassonne

Carcassonne, an independent territory located in the southernmost tip of Bretonnia.

The ruler here is also the spokesperson and representative of the goddess of the lake, known as the fairy of the lake, who performs the duties of the duke and the priest of the goddess.

The north is the territory of Boldro and Palaon, the south can reach Estalia and Tyrell directly, and the east is Wende's destination, Athel Loren Forest.

Considering his relationship with Sarah, that guy should introduce himself to the wood elves instead of Swish and two cold arrows.

This is the site of Carcassonne, Wende just happened to pass by, just add a little supplies.

But the sky in front of him shone with a strange color, like dust falling continuously, and also like a strange black that radiated light.

"Something's not quite right."

Wende also pulled back the galloping horse and walked slowly forward.

You must know that Carcassonne is a place blessed by the goddess of the lake and the fairy of the lake, so such a strange phenomenon will not appear.

Finally, Wende found a group of living people, who were dressed as traditional Bretonnian serfs, barely clothed and walking with difficulty.

Seeing this scene, Wende dismounted immediately, and when he was about to get closer, he found that these serfs had strange abscesses on their faces, and pus and blood were oozing out unstoppably.

Seeing Wen De, the lofty master, and his healthy and clean face, the serfs quickly backed away a few steps away.

His head hangs down, covering his mouth and nose with his hands.

"This gentleman, Carcassonne, there is a plague, run away."

But when the word "run" was mentioned, the serf immediately knelt down, and tears mixed with blood flowed from his eyes.

"But even if you run, where can you go?"

Although Bretonnia's medical level is far inferior to that of the Empire, the epidemic prevention measures are surprisingly strict.

Anyone who suspected that they might be infected with the plague, whether they were commoners or nobles, would be stopped outside the city, leaving them to be tortured to death by the plague in the wilderness.

Although unreasonable, it can effectively stop the spread of the plague.

But this is strange, Carcassonne has double protection, it is impossible for the plague to rage under normal circumstances, and something big must happen.

"Follow these foods, let's have a full meal."

Wende also knew that this level of plague could not be cured. He could only remove the food from the horses' luggage, hoping to let these people eat something instead of starving to death.

There was a lot of food, and Ryan worried that Wende would definitely be hungry in the wild if he didn't hunt, so he prepared things with a long shelf life and sufficient portions.

Even if it is distributed to these people infected with the plague, it will not leave them without food.

"Thank you, master, just throw the things on the ground, we can eat them ourselves, don't come near us, or you will catch the plague too."

Wende had no choice but to take Ruixi back a few steps, watching these sick serfs kowtow to him after eating the food, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Although he knew that something like the plague would break out in Bretonnia from time to time, but when he actually said it with his own eyes, he didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable.

Ruixi retreated. As a dark elf, she was selfish and cautious in her bones, so she would not go deep into the human territory with the plague and ask for trouble.

But Wende's pace was extremely firm.

The further they walked towards Carcassonne, the more terrifying the situation was. There were dead bodies lying on the ground on both sides of the road, and the exposed skin was covered with purple-black areas.

"plague."

Wende is also well-informed, and at the same time, he has received more than a dozen vaccines before traveling to the Warhammer world, so his fear of the plague is not as strong as Ruixi.

And through observation, I know what kind of plague this is, and I have a countermeasure in my heart, and I know what to do.

The plague is caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis, which is parasitic on fleas and spread by rats, ratmen, humans and other organisms.

Rats, ratmen, and humans are all huge in size, just be careful not to touch infected people.

The most critical thing is to avoid flea attacks, which is the key to plague.

When Wende saw a stream, he immediately called Ruixi to get off the horse, and took off all his clothes.

Just when Ruixi was still thinking about whether this was some kind of wild sex activity, she saw Wende pick up the dagger and lean against her lower body.

Ruixi was so scared that she was quick-witted, and hurried up to hug Wende.

"Don't, even if you don't need that thing, I need it too. Don't be so overwhelmed. It's a source of happiness."

"What are you thinking? By the way, you take off your clothes too."

Wende didn't want to practice any Sunflower Book, this dagger was only used for hair removal.

No matter if it was leg hair, hand hair, or what kind of hair, they were all shaved clean, and I even shaved myself a handsome cut.

Because fleas like to lurk in places with thick human hair, I can only come up with a hair removal plan to avoid being entangled by fleas, and at the same time take a good bath, after all, I just passed by a group of serfs infected with the plague.

Ruixi also started to shave herself according to Wende's request. Fortunately, the dark elf's body is relatively smooth, and there is not much body hair to deal with.

And grabbed his long hair, cut off most of it with a dagger, leaving a beautiful and capable short hair, bathed his whole body like Wende and patted his clothes to ensure that there were no fleas left.

In addition to using leggings to ensure that no skin was exposed on the feet, Wende also closed the cuffs, put on gloves and a mask.

Carcassonne has a pleasant climate, well-packed and does not make people feel hot.

Even the horses were wrapped in cloth by Wende, the plague was no joke.

The further they walked, the more obvious the stench of corpses in the air was. At first, the corpses on the side of the road were obviously treated by someone, either buried in pits or neatly placed.

But the place where Wende is now is a village that has turned into a ghost town one after another. Not only are there no living things, even the corpses have not been disposed of by anyone.

He casually fell to the ground, the pained expression on his face was extremely stiff before he died.

The Castle of Carcassonne is right in front of you, but the gates are closed, and there is not a single guard on the road.

We can only hope that there are still living people inside, and Wende must immediately tell the Lake Fairy the truth about the plague, so that she can take correct epidemic prevention measures as soon as possible.

Simply closing the city gates is of no use. Rats and fleas must be kept out. This is the only way to save all civilians in Carcassonne Castle.

There is not much time left for Wende, and I hope there are still people alive in the castle of Carcassonne.

　Thanks to [Sarah] for the monthly pass.
