Chapter 105
Doing what they said, Flann's soldiers dispersed the angry crowd that had gathered in the docklands.Subsequently, another detachment of armed soldiers from the fort received the signal and sealed off the entire city.Do not allow anyone to enter or leave this area.If Lucius and Annis hadn't been confirmed as elves, Fran would probably not have come to the docks to pick them up after confirming the outbreak of the plague.
After stabilizing the situation in the dock area, Frann brought several corpses and the York family back to the fortress.
Along the way, Frann didn't open his mouth to explain to Lucius.After returning to the fortress, the sick young York was settled first, and then the soldiers arrested the old York rudely and took him to the interrogation hall of the guards.Meanwhile, Thranduil and Lucius were also invited to attend.After all the relevant characters were in place, Lucius learned about the relationship between the old York family and this matter from Frann.
"Say, what's going on, tell me all the information you know, and I might be able to spare your life." Frann's face was dark, and Old York's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly wiped everything out. Speak up.
"My son... fell ill seven days ago. It was like catching a cold and having a fever, and then he suddenly fainted. I didn't think much about it at the time, because His Excellency Lucius was out, so he invited the pharmacist from the city .He didn’t say what kind of illness Little York was suffering from. He prescribed me medicine and let me take good care of my son. In the next few days, although my son didn’t get better, the situation didn’t get worse. I When I went out, I also saw this pharmacist going in and out of other houses in the dock area. Because it just rained a few days ago, and other children fell ill, so we didn’t think much about it. But who knows, four days ago, suddenly A sick child died!" When Old York said this, his eyes were gradually overwhelmed by fear, "No one knows why, but this happened. After I heard about this, I hurried from the Sir Mansion Go home and check my son's condition. Fortunately, maybe because I gave him other herbs that Lord Lucius didn't take away, he looks the same as when he just fell ill. But unfortunately , the family where the child died went to ask the pharmacist for an explanation. As a result, the pharmacist didn’t say anything else, just told them that this is a deadly infectious disease, and the first person who got sick was my son .The other day, they stormed into my house and nearly beat my wife to death."
"Who knows what kind of infectious disease, my son has never been anywhere except sorting herbs for Lord Lucius!" Old York looked at Lucius anxiously, "I explained it to them at the time, My son doesn’t leave the pier area every day, how could he suddenly get some infectious disease? It must be those damn refugees! My poor son has always been kind, seeing the children of those refugees are too hungry, he will occasionally give They have a little to eat. If it is an infectious disease, it must have been brought by these refugees!"
"But those people didn't believe me!" Old York cried, holding his head in pain. "They broke down my home and locked us up. They didn't release me until they found a few other refugees' children." Pass us. It's really not our fault, it's the refugees! Those refugees brought the terrible plague from Grattan! It must be so, I've heard, the people of Grattan are dead !"
Hearing the place name Graton, the faces of several elves changed at the same time.
"Come on! Take him down and keep him under guard!" Frann didn't give Old York any more chances to defend himself, and quickly let the soldiers drag him down.
"What's the situation?" Thranduil asked after Old York was taken away by the soldiers.Although the Elven King has always paid little attention to the humans in the fortress, he has never taken the initiative to care about what happened to Saen Gabao.But hearing the word "plague", even Thranduil, who had always been indifferent, became serious like never before.
"I also heard the rumors about the dock area three days ago, so I sent someone to watch it." Flann frowned and said, "But because our soldiers were sick first, I didn't believe the dock area right away. The situation there was a plague, and at that time, I didn't know that people died in the dock area. So I just informed the city lord's mansion of the news and asked them to confirm the situation. After all, the arrival of a large number of refugees in Gradton should have been two months ago Even if it is a plague, it should have erupted long ago. Maybe the city lord didn't take my news seriously, so they didn't find the dead family until today. Then they hurried He sent someone to inform me. Speaking of which, does Your Majesty still remember the Willy caravan?"
The familiar key words made the corners of Lucius' eyes twitch, and Thranduy said, "Of course I remember."
"The family that died was the leader of Willy's caravan."
"What was the cause of death?"
Flan shook his head: "I didn't find it. The pharmacist just took a look and was frightened. He refused to go in again. The neighbor said that the food that Willy brought back from Graton this time made him a fortune." Big pen, I often heard him come back and brag that he would move to a better place soon. So when they found that there was no movement in their house, they thought they had moved. So until the city asked about Graton’s situation People went to find him, only to find that their family was dead, and it had been several days. I have brought the body back with me, and put it in a room where no one will go."
"If it's a plague, you should burn their bodies on the spot." Thranduil frowned and said, "Humans don't have much ability to resist."
"This is where I am most puzzled. Although the last plague occurred more than 1000 years ago, even so, we can know from written records that once the plague broke out, almost the entire city fell together, and there were no survivors. If the plague really They caught it in Gradtan and brought it back, and the time between outbreaks is too long."
"If you doubt it, why did you tell us that this is definitely a plague?" Lucius couldn't help asking.
The news about Willy's caravan, Lucius first learned about it in the human memory of Old Ferry.This caravan rented Amon Han's grain ship, went upstream to Graddon to buy grain to be transported back to Rohan for sale, and thus encountered Thranduil in Gradton.After they left for a while, Lucius followed the clues to Graton and encountered rumors of the plague there.
Then he and Annis came to Sarn Gabor with the refugees who had left Gradun in panic.
From the timeline, if Graton’s panic had the same root as Sarn Gable’s current situation, the leader of Willy’s caravan would probably have fallen ill with Graton’s victims at about the same time.Instead of waiting until now, nearly three months later.
"Because all the sick soldiers in our fortress are related to this caravan. They either went to Graddon with the grain ship, or they dealt with the caravan later and were responsible for inspecting the grain." Frann said with great dignity. Said, "And there are still some seriously ill people in the city."
"They all belong to the Willy caravan?" Lucius asked.
"Yes." Frann nodded, "The city lord has isolated them all."
"It's just that this doesn't explain why Little York and other children are sick." Lucius asked again.
"Actually, it's possible." Frann shook his head. "Except for Willy's caravan, all the sick people were concentrated in the dock area. And the food they brought back was all sold in the dock area."
"Do you guess that the cause of the infection is the food?" Thranduil asked, with doubts in his eyes.
"No, I don't know what the cause of the infection is. This is also the scariest thing. But what is more important now is that we need to find a suitable solution immediately." Frann looked around the audience with great dignity. People, "We must find a way to heal or prevent a greater tragedy before it happens."
"The only thing I can do is to gather all the relevant people as much as possible to study the cause of their illness and avoid further spread of the plague." Frann sighed and continued, "I will find a way to treat them, But if you still can't find a way in the end..."
Abandoning the car to save the handsome man is indeed a wise approach when facing a problem like the plague, at least Lucius thinks so.However, at the same time that he nodded slightly, Frann suddenly stood up, bowed to him, and said earnestly: "Please help us, I really don't want to make such a decision unless it is absolutely necessary, are you Our only hope!"
After such a series of tragic atmosphere, Frann made his request to Lucius in such a low profile.And before Lucius agreed, he had already shown his weakness and saluted.Such a move undoubtedly carries the meaning of using morality as a package to make things difficult for others.
Lucius didn't expect Frann to have such expectations for him, so he didn't react for a while.However, he did not respond, and Thranduy, who had been sitting quietly by the side, immediately turned cold, and said in a deep voice, "Frann, your request is too much."
