Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly

Chapter 159 I’m not crazy! This world is crazy!

There were many people in the underground area, and Li Pu finally met the servants in the castle here.

On the way, the three of them took a quick look at the flowers. Li Pu even saw a few female goats in the aisle. A shepherd who was obviously not a servant of the castle was chatting with several nuns from the Absolute Monastery about goat milk.

The shepherds and nuns were obviously not permanent residents of the castle, but judging from the current patrol level of the Violet Fortress, they must have been vetted by the guards when they entered.

However, these nuns and sheep officials definitely did not enter here through the castle gate on the ground.

Perhaps the real city is not on the ground.

This means that there may also be high walls, city gates and suspension bridges in this 'basement'!

[The reason why Dante chose Violet seems to have been found - relatively speaking, it would be more convenient to open a gate to hell here. 】

[Because, at the beginning of the city's founding, the 'Iron Makers' and the 'Whispering Wizards' dug an underground lava river in the deepest part beneath the city. 】

"The lords did bring a group of sheep to alleviate the problem, but as you know, mama, a group of sheep died during the sheep plague. A few days ago, the sheep strayed into the fire fern area and ate something they shouldn't have eaten. , another group of people died."

"There are only 300 sheep left in our community. The sheep dung and eggs are not enough for the people in the fortress. How can there be any leftover to distribute to the refugees outside."

"Mammies, you'd better wait a moment. I heard that the Tadar gentlemen have already started distributing Holy Communion. The army probably won't need so many sheep dung eggs - I heard that the free people have already gone to try to enjoy them. If you have the right to the Holy Communion, there should be results.”

Li Pu's eyes became a little darker.

This statement was recognized by Li Pu and Katerina.

These residents should be those who entered and lived in the castle fortress with the permission of the Duke. Most of them are family members of sergeants.

Many people will not die before dawn today.

"It's much warmer." Elizabeth took off her thick cloak and stretched her hand to the closed window to warm her hands.

If he could have come one day earlier, the residents would have received the news one day earlier.

[There should be an information gap here. After the daytime meeting, the managers made the decision to divide all the bitter ferns and sheep dung eggs equally. But the order has just been issued, and many residents have not yet received the news. 】

The three of them started walking to the right. They met more servants and rooms along the way, as well as more residents.

Elizabeth added: "On both sides, we can reach our destination."

Unlike the brave man's family, they are not free people. The lords have the obligation to take care of them and do not have to wait for their relatives to go outside to collect bitter ferns.

Dante, on the other hand, deliberately avoided Luna.

The Duke seemed to subconsciously reject Elizabeth.

[It seems that there is more than one way to the Garden of Suffering. It's just that the Duke only knows one thing. 】

"Go that way, leading to the outer city (underground). After passing the inner wall (underground) and passing through several dark streets, you will find the Chicheng Monastery (underground)." Elizabeth pointed to the left side of the 'basement' fork.

At this time, the three of them had stopped at an underground fork in the road.

[One of them will pass by the monastery, and the other will pass by the Duke and Luna's room. 】

They must have discovered something that made them suspicious.

"Let's stop by Luna's room and take a look." Elizabeth said, "I always feel that we have to be careful about that guy."

She pointed to the right again: "This way, leading to the center of the castle, the servants' room, my father's room, and Luna's room are all here."

Li Pu looked at the castle structure diagram and found that the place marked by the Duke was on the right. So he said: "Go to the right."

Therefore, during this period, they could get half a piece of sacrificial bread mixed with sheep dung eggs or bitter fern every Sunday.

The half-offered cake was no bigger than a baby's hand and was not enough to fill one's stomach. But it allows them to spend half of the next week not suffering and half the week suffering.

Therefore, this small half piece of sacrificial bread has allowed them to sustain themselves until now. The sacrificial bread is a kind of communion - that's why the sheep dung eggs and bitter fern are called communion.

After twisting and turning, the three of them passed by a relatively good corridor. The lights are brighter here, and there are furniture and carpets in the corridors.

Even the maids look younger and more beautiful.

It seems that the 'Duke's Room' and 'Luna's Room' that Elizabeth mentioned are nearby.

Servants were moving things between several rooms, holding many beddings ready to be taken 'outside' to be baked and dried.

Elizabeth stood in front of a room. The head maid seemed to recognize her and hurriedly led the servants to salute the princess.

"Are the flowers in my room well taken care of?" Elizabeth asked the servants as she looked into the room.

"Lord Themis, we have been following the methods you told us and taking good care of them every day."

Elizabeth chatted with the servants for a while. Li Pu glanced at the room very intentionally or unintentionally.

There are indeed many flowers in the room. It should be some kind of hybrid between a fern and a plant. And well taken care of.

Li Pu gave Katerina a look—unexpectedly, this sloppy guy actually had a deep knowledge of herbal medicine.

Katerina gave Li Pu a look in return - of course, my sister is the best doctor in the world.

Elizabeth said very seriously: "These hybrid bitter ferns are precious test subjects. If successful, we will no longer have to suffer."

After a pause, she sighed piteously: "I hope the new varieties I planted at the beginning of the month will bear fruit."

Fruit planted at the beginning of the month?

Li Pu was a little surprised. Didn’t the mission just come back with me today?

Didn't Elizabeth just get home today?

At the beginning of the month, Elizabeth was not in Violet!

Why did she say that she cultivated a batch of herbs at the beginning of the month?

"Yes, sir. However, the flower you picked back at noon and its flowerpot are broken - someone saw that after you went out, another Themis quietly entered your room." people said.

"Yes. It must have been that Elizabeth came over secretly after I went out. After she broke the flower pot, she accidentally stepped on the fertilizer - I was in 'my upstairs guest room' and saw Elizabeth's black footprints."

Luna sighed: "Go upstairs to the guest room and clean it too. She should have hidden the flower under the carpet beside the bed."

Li Pu: "?"

Katerina: "?"

The two of them opened the storybook in surprise and saw such a passage written on it.

[Luna remembered that when Li Pu forced her to kneel and read the diary, she saw the flower under the carpet beside the bed. 】

Li Pu: "??"

Katerina: "??"

There are three more lines in the book.

[If this person was Luna all along, then who was the person who talked to the two of them along the way? 】

[Like Elizabeth just now, Li Pu and Katerina felt like they were going crazy by their teammates. 】

['I'm not crazy! 'Li Pu turned around and looked at the camera here: 'This world is crazy! Hahahahaha! '】
