In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 404: Veroniya's Meeting (1/2)

Although Lalith firmly believed that they would win, the situation in the kingdom became more and more serious as time passed.

Although the plague has been temporarily controlled, famine has begun to ravage the kingdom.

The potato seedlings planted in the north began to turn yellow in patches, and the originally green branches and leaves began to wither inexplicably.

This made Martina run to the fields to look at it several times every day.

While eating breakfast, Lailisi asked softly, "Master, do you have any clues yet?"

Reiner shook his head: "If Veroniya didn't look for me, it means there is no clue yet."

The elves were suffering from the famine even more severely than they were. According to Veronia, mushrooms began to disappear from the forest, bees stopped producing honey, berry bushes withered one after another, and the fish they raised began to die in large numbers...

Currently, Veronia is trying to find the hiding places of the Four Calamities. He sends elf teams to various parts of the world through Lenari's magic stone. Each team of elves will bring a demon specializing in exploring magic power, and begin a carpet search for the enemy.

If she finds a target, Veroniya will definitely inform Reiner through the sound transmission ring as soon as possible.

Lelith lowered her head and continued, "The plague is getting worse. The medicine Miraz prepared is no longer effective. This virus can constantly adapt.

And the death rate has also increased. Even with medical treatment, more than a dozen people died from the disease in the kingdom yesterday, all of them elderly people without exception."

Reiner nodded. Although he was also very anxious now, he had no way out if he couldn't find the enemy.

"I can't find the exact location of the Four Calamities. Now I can only wait..."

Just then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly coming from upstairs.

Luminilla ran downstairs in a panic and said to Reiner, "Reiner, Madam Junice seems to have contracted the plague. When I woke her up just now, I noticed her forehead was burning."

"What?"

Reiner put down the bread and ran upstairs.

He pushed open the half-open door and saw Junice lying on the bed.

She closed her eyes tightly, her skin was pale, her lips were bloodless, and her breathing was a little rapid.

"Wife." Reiner called softly, then touched Junice's forehead with his hand.

As Luminila said, her forehead was terribly hot, and a high fever was one of the symptoms of infection with the plague.

Flora, lying on the bed, looked at Junice and fell into deep thought. Then, as if she realized something, she began to cry loudly.

Nora held Flori in her arms, coaxed her softly, and left the room.

After Reiner determined that Junice had contracted the plague, he took out the potion from the storage space, poured it onto a wooden spoon, and fed it to her little by little, while using phototherapy to help with the treatment.

After struggling for a while, Junice finally opened her eyes.

She reached out and touched her forehead, then turned her head slightly to look at Reiner. She breathed weakly, "Am I...sick too?"

"Well, have a good rest and conserve your energy. Do you want to eat something?" Reiner sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her with concern.

Junice shook her head: "No... I don't have much appetite now, let's do it later."

She reached out and pushed Reiner's butt. "Just go about your business. I feel much better now after taking the medicine. I can take care of myself."

"Remember to call me if you need anything." Reiner stood up and walked outside.

He frowned slightly. Now that Junice and Aliana had fallen ill one after another, he wondered who would be the next.

Thinking of this, he planned to identify everyone in his family.
