Chapter 150 Death
…
The spacious room was divided into five small spaces, and the aroma of unknown spicy spices filled the air.
Lu Yi subconsciously looked at the environment in front of him and followed Andre quietly.
There were only four of them, but they had to be responsible for nearly fifty people, so they simply split into two teams and acted separately.
Helena's emotions were still unstable, so Jamie took the initiative to propose to work in the same team with her, and Rant naturally became a team with Andre.
"Rant, do you remember what I just told you?"
Lu Yi nodded and replied softly: "I remember, captain, don't worry."
What they do is not that difficult.
Holy water blessed by the Vatican bishops can resist the worsening of the Black Death, but if taken directly, it cannot fully release the healing power of the holy water.
At this time, a wizard is needed to use his own magic power as a medicine to further stimulate the efficacy of the holy water. Among them, the wizard of light has the best effect.
Activating holy water is not difficult, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Originally, Luo Saiqiao was short of manpower, and they had no choice but to waste holy water. Now that they had help, they were still busy and urgent.
Andre nodded, lowered his head and gave ten holy water potions in the basket to Rand.
"This is your first time channeling holy water, so don't be anxious. Take your time. Give these ten to them first. I'll give you more after you've used them up..."
"I hope...it will be effective." Andre whispered.
Ten holy water potions had to be distributed to fifty people. Lu Yi saw Andre diluting the potion with his own eyes.
If one part of the drug is diluted into five parts by adding transparent medium, the efficacy of the drug will inevitably be greatly reduced.
They all knew this fact, but Lu Yi obviously couldn't say that.
He took the potion and said, "It's effective, don't worry, Captain."
Perhaps it was because Lant seemed particularly reliable when he said this, Andre said in a trance: "Lant, why hasn't the Pope come yet? He clearly had the ability to purify the plague many years ago..."
"Why doesn't he come?"
"Be careful with your words, Captain, that's His Holiness the Pope." Lu Yi held his arm.
This is the territory of the Vatican, and they are still members of the Vatican. Andre's words could be considered a slip of the tongue at best, and rebellion at worst.
Feeling the warm magic coming from his arm, Andri came back to his senses and said apologetically, "Sorry, I said something wrong... I didn't mean that."
Lu Yi retracted his hand, shook his head and said: "The captain is just teaching me how to activate the holy water."
Seeing Andre nodded awkwardly, Lu Yi raised the small basket in his hand and said, "Captain, would you like to supervise me first? If there is anything wrong, I can correct it in time."
"Okay." Andre naturally responded immediately.
He followed Lu Yi into the inner room without hesitation and without any suspicion.
In the moment when he didn't notice, Lu Yi lowered his eyes, hesitating whether to take out the "letter of surrender" now.
In last night's dream, Mios had already made his words very clear.
The Black Death was a gift from God to him, and it was his token of allegiance to the Vatican.
With Mios' blessing, Lant now has the power to dispel the Black Death.
——How ridiculous.
The god who brings salvation is the same god who brought the plague in the first place.
The god who sat high on the throne and controlled everything said, "My advice to you is not to be impatient. Wait a little longer and watch the show."
"When the disaster spreads to Kadifan, it will be the best time for you to show up."
By that time, Rant, who suddenly appeared, would be the savior, the uncrowned king, and the well-deserved Son of Light.
At that time, Lant asked tremblingly: "But what if the Pope successfully purified the Black Death during this period? My Lord, the Black Death many, many years ago was evolved by him."
Mios sneered and said nonchalantly: "Pope? He's not that capable yet..."
Mios's idea is obvious, he just wants to maximize benefits.
But Lu Yi was in the middle of the situation and suffered greatly from it, so he was unable to act as Mios said.
Rand holds the key to Pandora's box to solve the epidemic.
The lives of tens of thousands and millions of people depend on his single thought.
How should he choose?
…
Lant folded his hands against his chest, closed his eyes and prayed before any ceremony.
He did not make any gestures of worship before praying, and no one knew that he was not praying to the benevolent and merciful god of light.
"Above the eternal night, my God and my Lord..." he muttered to himself.
"..." He started with the usual flattery and compliments, and then, after a bunch of selfless praise, Lu Yi finally got to the point.
"Lord God, I would like to take the liberty of asking for your grace once again."
Lu Yi took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress his sadness and anger.
The gods are not so easily fooled. If he wants Mios to believe his words, he must at least make Zhen act as if they are true.
"I know now is not the best time to show my 'loyalty', but I still want to ask for this grace from you. In the old days, when I didn't believe in the Eternal Night, I was bullied by someone...
"He dislikes me for no reason, instigates others with his words, and frames me with his actions." Lu Yi said sincerely.
——Once again, praise the art of language!
"And today, he came to Luo Saiqiao for support just like me... I want to defeat him."
As if ashamed of his own desire to dissect, he lowered his head even lower.
"I know I am despicable, but please look after me and lift me up. I can't stand it any longer. I want to surpass him and become the candidate who is loved by more people...
"Please forgive my sins, please answer my prayers, glory to the eternal night, to you."
His prayers went unanswered.
In other words, silent indulgence is the best response.
Lu Yi opened his eyes, and the smile beneath the bird-beak mask became genuine.
He held the holy water potion in his hand and looked up at Andre who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Captain, let me try..."
Andre seemed to suddenly think of something and pointed to another patient next to him.
"Rant, try it on him."
That was Andre's younger brother, his only living relative.
Andre did not say anything, but just calmly changed the first person to be tried by Rant, as if he was an outsider.
Lu Yi was slightly stunned, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.
"Okay, captain, don't worry."
"Rant, don't be nervous. This is actually a bargain for me."
Andre sat on a small wooden stool next to the narrow bed and gently and carefully helped the person on the bed up.
"Edwin, wake up. I brought you a super powerful light wizard today. You will feel better soon..."
Edwin was only about ten years old, still a young boy. The plague had drained all his energy and spirit, leaving only a little gray and dead air around him.
He leaned in Andre's arms and rubbed Andre's chest as if he was subconsciously getting closer to a heat source.
But he hasn't woken up yet.
Andre kept whispering in his ear, talking to him non-stop.
After a while, Edwin slowly opened his eyes with great difficulty.
"elder brother……"
His eyes were half open, covered in a layer of misty gray, so that Lu Yi couldn't even see the original color of his pupils.
He seemed to have lost most of his eyesight and could only identify the source of sounds based on faint sounds.
Lu Yi subconsciously said: "Hello, Edwin, I am your brother's good friend and temporary teammate, my name is Lanter."
Edwin turned towards him with difficulty and tried to force a smile.
Seeing that he wanted to talk, Lu Yi stepped forward, held his hand, and whispered: "Edwin, don't talk yet, hey! I'm a little nervous, cough cough, wait until the treatment is over and then talk to me in a good chat, okay? You must know a lot of Andre's embarrassing things..."
Edwin nodded. Although his movement was so small, Lu Yi and Andre still saw it clearly.
Andre silently held Edwin's other hand and patted his back gently, as if he was comforting his younger brother who didn't want to go to sleep when he was a child.
"Edwin, my dearest brother Edwin, you are the strongest and bravest boy in Luo Saiqiao..."
[He was about to die.] 857 said suddenly.
[“Then he won’t die now.”] Lu Yi said calmly.
[Yes.] 857's mechanical voice let out a hint of laughter, [Because Lu Yi is here!]
【“It’s Rand who’s here.”】
The author has something to say:
Originally, there was a little more to it, but as I was writing, I felt that it would be a good idea to stop here, so I just merged the remaining part into the next chapter. If there is still time, I will post it all together later today (to prevent you from getting slapped in the face, if I can't finish it, just treat it as me farting)
