Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 11
This is the response of commander Jon and Elsa after hearing the cheese report. If commander Jon had already made some of his own guesses about the current situation, the seriousness of the situation was far beyond his imagination. The landlady''s feeling was that she suddenly found herself in a ship that would sink at any time.
"You mean, these people who are infected by the plague will become like that Monster? " Elsa, as one of the few people who had close contact with Gloria''s mutation, was particularly hard hit. What''s more, cheese told her that the monster was the polite black robed man he had received a few days ago. The landlady couldn''t imagine what kind of plague would turn people into such a distorted and horrible existence.
"In fact, we now call them protozoans. Correspondingly, I have captured the The woman''s body has stabilized. Now she should not be as terrible as before. I''m afraid it can''t be accepted at once Said cheese.
"You mean, then, that all the people led by the count of salon have been killed?" Asked commander Jon, frowning.
"I''m not sure. According to my conjecture, it will take a long time from infection to protozoan, because there is only one observation sample at present, so I can''t give the time of this process. Even I don''t think that all infected people can become protozoans, which may have something to do with the individual''s own situation. " The cheese replied. Gloria''s appearance not only solved some puzzles, but also brought more mysteries.
"What about the spread of the plague?" Commander Jon continued to ask. He didn''t ask if there was any treatment. On the one hand, he thought that the town at the foot of the mountain should not be attacked by the plague. After all, the original rat man was captured here. On the other hand, he also thinks that if cheese has a cure, he will say it himself.
"In the current situation, direct physical contact and contaminated water sources may be the main causes of transmission." After all, he didn''t find any extra wounds on Gloria, so Gloria should not have been infected directly by an infected person, cheese said.
"Then you..." Elsa and commander Jon unconsciously put their eyes on the left shoulder of cheese when they heard that the plague would spread along the contact.
"Don''t worry. I''ve treated the wound. It''s not contagious now. But I''m afraid I''ll only be able to eat with one hand for a while before I can work out an antidote for the plague Pick an eyebrow, cheese responds. This is not a lie. The pestilence virus is still blocked by cheese in the vicinity of the wound by petrochemical means. Although anlina proposes to cut off this part of the tissue directly, cheese can not accept lying in the tower to recuperate at this time. Moreover, the mage was very curious about the way the plague worked, so he felt that instead of looking for samples one by one, he would rather use himself as a Petri dish to observe the plague virus. Of course, he didn''t say that to anyone else, because he thought it was a bit crazy.
Commander Jon was relieved after hearing the mage''s assurance. After all, if cheese is hurt irreversibly, I''m afraid the dignity of the frost guard will be disgraced. But at the same time, he thought that if even the magical grey robed mage could not solve his wound problem, the battle cost against the native rat people might be very heavy.
"So, do you have any solution to this plague?" Asked the commander. Although the information provided by cheese is very important, only by finding a solution can the Legion not fall into passive passive defense.
"At the moment, I''m afraid I can''t offer a sound solution." Cheese said sincerely. Although he had been studying this plague for three days, even with the help of anlina, the mage still did not find a solution to the plague. The problem lies in Gloria. When cheese found her, she had entered the late stage of infection. The virus carried on her body had undergone multiple mutations. In order to stabilize Gloria''s body, cheese also artificially induced the transformation of the virus, making it a more stable form. This obviously made the mage unable to find the appearance of the plague at the beginning. It would take a long time for his teachers to develop the antidote in such a situation. Cheese doesn''t have time to do it. Although he is sure that he can develop an antidote after a long trial, it may be difficult for downhill town to keep up for that long under the attack of native rat man.
"And I''m afraid I have some bad news." Cheese went on.
"Based on the condition of Experiment 1, I suspect that these protozoans have an irreparable hunger and thirst for meat, as can be seen from the attack on livestock by experiment 1." There are nearly ten livestock in three days. I''m afraid that the amount of food the Earl of Saron had in his possession would soon be exhausted. When the time comes, the native rat people, driven by hunger, will inevitably spread to the areas bordering on the count.
"So, do you mean that these mutants will come and attack here sooner or later?" Said commander Jon.
"Yes, I think. Therefore, I suggest that while building the defense line against the south, you should move the residents of the town into the Longji mountain in a planned way. I believe that the fortress operated by frost guards for hundreds of years is much safer than here. " Said cheese.
"I will consider your suggestion. But this town is also the home of our northerners for generations. I believe a considerable number of people will not want to leave easily The old commander said that his mind had begun to conceive the words of evacuation. Although it was better not to use them, he, as the leader of the Legion, must prepare for the worst."That''s it. I''m sure you''ll make a wise decision. And I will leave in two days for the count Cheese said something that made the other two feel frightened.
"What do you say?" Elsa sprang up from her chair. The landlady had not intervened in the conversation between the cheese maker and the commander, but now she could not sit still. Commander Jon was surprised by ELSA''s reaction, but he was also looking at cheese with a puzzled look on his face. After all, what the mage said just now is no different from the suicide declaration. You know, even though his magic was magical, he had already been injured in front of a native rat man.
"Yes, I must. Only more contact and observation of these infected people, I can quickly make antidote Said cheese. He certainly didn''t want to be in danger if he could, but he knew that only by finding earlier samples of infection would he have a chance to stop the plague before it spread. Although he did not have any acquaintances in this kingdom, as a human being, he did not think that so many innocent people should die so unknowingly.
Commander Jon wanted to say something, but the old commander finally stood up, stroked his chest with his right hand, and made a knight salute.
"Your courage and kindness are awe inspiring. Although I can''t go with you because I have to lead the people, please allow me to send some of the best fighters to protect you. In this way, the frost guard will be worthy of his oath
"Even if you don''t say so, I will ask the Legion for help. Thank you for your kindness. " Cheese also stood up and said seriously. Although anlina can''t help him directly because of the adult task, it also states that other forces can be used. Communication ability is also an important standard for cheese teachers.
After chatting with Commander Jon a few more words, the old commander left for the various tasks of deploying the Legion and selected the candidate for the cheese escort. He''ll have the guards assemble in the tavern two days later. After the commander left, the tavern was left with cheese and Elsa, who had not spoken since. Cheese for the first familiar with the age of the woman is still relatively good, although not to talk about love, but a little bit different feeling in it. As he pondered over the words and was ready to say something to Elsa. But the landlady took the initiative to speak.
"I''ll go with you."
"What do you say?" Looking at the boss''s chair, she was surprised to see her face wash the dishes.
"I said, I''ll go with you." Elsa raised her head and looked into the cheese''s eyes. Then she lowered her head and continued to wipe the bar, as if cheese didn''t exist at all.
