Release that Witch

When Roland and the witches had finished their lunch and were ready to go back to the room to take a nap, Carter rushed into the castle hall.

"His Royal Highness, the Eastbound civilians from the kings arrived at the dock!"

“So fast?” It seems that Tassa’s efficiency is quite high. He is pleased to think that there is no loss in the patrol team and black and white. But looking at the chief knight's sweaty appearance and tight brows, Roland felt a little wrong.

"what happened?"

"But the people on board have got a strange disease," Carter quickly described the patient's characteristics. "At the beginning, there were still a few people. Now it has spread to two or three ships. Even the soldiers of the First Army are infected." !"

Patients have dark spots and can also be infected with each other? It sounds like a plague, the famous Black Death. But the plague bacillus can't make people's blood change color, let alone crack the skin.

Roland's brow wrinkled.

He thought of Lily for the first time, but he was not sure if the other party's ability could deal with this unheard-of-infectious disease. If it could not be cured, it would be troublesome for her to get infected. He must make a careful decision, can listen to Carter's description, these people can't last long.

In any case, at least the site must be blocked first.

Thinking of this, Roland ordered the Carter to "lead the first army out, pull the guard zone outside the dock, prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. At the same time, tell them repeatedly: I will be there soon, Miss Nana Wa is already on the road. ”

"Yes!"

“It’s tricky?” asked the nightingale.

"It's not clear, the key depends on Lily's ability," he said quietly. "Call all the members of the Witch Alliance. You can't sleep at noon today."

......

After considering it all the way, Roland felt that he had to be isolated from the patient before verifying the effect of Lily's ability.

Fortunately, her fresh-keeping ability is summoned and can be produced without touching the target. This distance is the same as that of most witches, which is close to five meters.

So he recruited two carpenters and quickly set up a rectangular box-type room with the help of Anna. There is a partition in the center of the room, and a small glass window is embedded in the upper end to see the opposite scene through the window. Below the partition is a flexible curtain drawn by Soroya, with two small holes in the symmetry, allowing Lily to reach out. The soft sky-colored curtain will tightly wrap the little girl's hand, thus isolating the air circulation on both sides. Just wash your hands with alcohol and you should be able to stop the infection.

The order at the dock site was controlled by more than 100 First Army soldiers on board. It was able to maintain discipline under the terrorist infectious disease. It was not that they were strong, but most soldiers believed that they were like angels. Miss Wa must be able to make them recover.

When the box is ready, a soldier who can walk on his own and black spots only appear on his arms is selected.

He walked into the room as instructed, standing still, Lily stretched his hand over the partition and exerted his ability. Roland stood by her side and observed the situation of the other through the window.

The influence of the magic was silent, and the little girl nodded. After the gesture was completed, he asked, "How do you feel now?"

"His Royal Highness Prince?" The soldier heard Roland's voice and was excited to raise his hand and salute him. Then he squatted in the same place. "Oh, I feel that my strength has recovered. Scorpio, Your Highness, I feel much better!"

Roland also saw that the dark spots on his hands were rapidly receding, which is definitely not a symptom of the plague. If you remember correctly, the black spots of the latter come from concurrent sepsis and high fever. Even after the plague bacillus is killed, these dark spots will take a long time to subside, and Lily has no ability to recover the body.

However, her new ability does have a therapeutic effect on the unknown disease, which makes Roland a little relieved.

"If you recover, just call other soldiers. Once you enter ten people, if you have any symptoms, you should come in and treat them once."

"Yes! Your Highness," the soldier took a moment and then prayed again. "Thank you, Miss Nana."

"Not Nana, this time to save your life is Miss Lily." Roland smiled and corrected. "If the skin is already bleeding, you need Miss Nana to heal you."

"Yes... is it," he touched his head. "Thank you, Miss Lily."

When the soldiers left, Lily glanced at the prince. "It doesn't matter if you return to Nana's head. I don't need to be thanked."

Yes, why did you just stand so straight? Roland looked at the shaking horse's double pony tail, couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, and the other party unexpectedly did not show protest, just snorted.

Since it is not a plague, what is the cause of the disease? He walked out of the box, and the nightingale immediately leaned over. "His Highness, I just saw a strange phenomenon, the blood flowing out of those people... there are signs of magic."

"What?" Roland stopped.

"In the fog is like a little star in the night," the nightingale said affirmatively. "I have never seen such a small magical brilliance."

This is an unexpected discovery, but anything that involves the relationship with the magic is not caused by the witch, but by the church. It is now at least certain that the disease is not caused by bacteria or viruses in nature.

"I know," the prince pondered for a moment. "If that's the case, take some blood to observe it."

"No, you may be infected!" She nervously stopped.

“Reassured,” Roland smiled at her. “Lily’s new abilities have completely hampered the disease.”

The blood sample was taken from a civilian who had fallen into a coma. He inserted a piece of black blood stained on the table to adjust the object distance. As the scene inside the lens becomes clearer, if the symptoms cause the size of the bacteria, then you probably won't see anything. But when the focus overlaps with the target, Roland can hardly believe his eyes.

In the narrow line of sight, several insects with tentacles and fat belly slowly swim in the liquid, and a mucus from the tail is ejected from time to time, like a slender hair. They are about the size of a single-celled algae, but like the mother of Lily, the body is not transparent, and it is difficult to tell whether it belongs to a single-celled organism.

Fortunately, the magic glow of the worm does not affect the ability of the little girl to play a role. When the blood mixed with the replica is dropped into the sample, the replica will even attack these weird worms first, turning them into their own kind. .

When the First Army soldiers recovered, in order to avoid accidents, Roland ordered all the fugitives entering the box to wear a hood, led by the soldiers. At the same time, another box room was also built, mainly used for Nana Va to treat those seriously ill patients.

The treatment continued from noon to evening. When more than 500 people in the ten boats recovered, the crowd cheered. Many people stumbled on the ground, shouting for the long live of His Royal Highness, and the sound waves followed by a wave, which could not be calmed for a long time.

"You don't seem to be very happy?" The nightingale squinted at him.

"The people who cure the disease are not me, but Lily and Nana, who are witches," Roland shook his head. "It should be them who accept everyone."

Having said that, it is not wise to tell the truth to the public before these people have fully accepted the witch. He sighed softly, hoping that one day the witch would stand up in front of the stage.

The nightingale seemed to understand Roland's thoughts. She patted him on the shoulder generously. "You don't care, you have done enough. Besides, this day will come sooner, isn't it?" Aton, "Yes, there is a good news forgot to tell you."

"what's up?"

"The Witch Alliance may have to add a new member," the night grinned. (To be continued. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
