"Reiner, are you still up over there? Mom told me something's not right outside." Potato's voice sounded particularly kind, and it was obvious that it had been beautified by the elf responsible for transmitting the message.
Reiner frowned. "Not at all. It's terrible. The number of infections is tripling almost every day. You probably don't understand what this means. It's horrific..."
Don't come back for now. It's very dangerous outside right now. Be careful not to get sick."
Aliana suddenly fell silent and didn't respond for a long time.
After a while, the familiar voice came again: "Reiner, I am sick too, and I feel uncomfortable..."
Reiner's brain froze for a few seconds, then he slowly said, "Are you sick too? I remember you were still fine when you went back, and doesn't your elf town not allow contact with outsiders? Unless..."
Reiner immediately thought of Peggy's caravan that traded with the elves.
But when I think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense. The last caravan went there about a month ago, and the plague hadn't broken out yet. Unless the disease has an extremely long incubation period, it is unlikely to be transmitted through them.
"I don't know. I suddenly fell ill last night. My forehead felt really hot," Aliana said after a brief pause. "Mom said a lot of people here are sick like me, but the cause hasn't been found yet."
Although Reiner could hear Elliana's voice, this voice was imitated and relayed by the elf, so he didn't know what she sounded like.
At this moment, Potato's parents and sister must be very anxious as they look at Aliana lying on the hospital bed.
Poor potatoes...
Just as Reiner was worried about her, Aliana's voice came again.
"Reiner, I missed you."
"You want me to bully you again?" Reiner really wanted to touch her head. "If I'm free tonight, I'll come to see you."
Aliana fell silent.
Reiner took a deep breath and looked at Lelith beside him.
Lailisi immediately guessed the reason and asked cautiously, "Did Aliana talk to you?"
"Um."
"Is she still alive?"
Reiner shook his head. "She's also sick. She said that many elves there are also sick, but the cause hasn't been determined yet."
Lelith remained silent. She held Reiner's hand and said, "Although I am a little worried about her, you can't go there at this time, Master. It would be troublesome if you were to be infected with the plague as well."
"You don't have to worry about this. My physique is a little special."
I don’t know if it’s because of the system, but Reiner has never been sick in the three years since he traveled through time, not even a minor cold.
Before he traveled through time, he would get sick almost every year. If he wasn't careful during the change of seasons, he would have to take 666 cold medicine.
Just as Reiner was thinking, the system's voice appeared in his ears.
[That's right, what do you think? This system will protect you like a mother and treat you well, right?]
Reiner bet that Haki must have played a four-word game.
"You're being mean to me, come out and let's fight."
[You're not even going to let this system off the hook? Hakkilai, you bastard...]
