Popular recommendation:

Then the eldest prince Heros Targaryen, who came from King's Landing, finally issued a ban after thinking for a while.

All the messengers moved on hearing the news.

"quick!"

"Your Highness has an order!"

"Block all entrances and exits!"

In order to prevent the spread of this suspected plague virus, Helos ordered the barracks to be blocked from today, and it is forbidden to receive any refugees from the outside world. causing panic.

And Helos himself led by example and locked himself in a tent and did not go out.

However, something unexpected happened that night.

A huge fire suddenly burst into flames in the isolation area, and the fire rose extremely fiercely. All the doctors and patients accompanying the army were buried in the fire, and no one escaped.

...

And when this accident happened, Helos was reading books about Stranger in his tent.

The Valyrian Empire is holding a campaign to destroy the gods, but it is mainly aimed at the gods of Essos, and it is still in a relaxed state for the gods of Westeros.

The Stranger is one of the seven-faced gods, symbolizing death. The plague is also the embodiment of the Stranger. It is rumored that she rides a 'pale mare', and this horse will bring terror wherever she goes. blood plague.

Helos has the habit of reading on weekdays. He is introverted, self-centered, and likes to be alone. Therefore, this time he was ordered to lead a rescue team from King's Landing to Hejian to relieve disasters. A box of books came.

However, there are no books devoted to plagues in these books, and Helos didn't know that he would run into such a big trouble when he came to the Hejian Land for disaster relief.

But some of his books happened to involve plagues, one of which was a history book that recorded the 'spring plague' of Yin Gengli in 209.

The other is "The Stranger's Book", which also involves some.

"In the plague, the poor, the poor, the rich, and the pious, including the 'good king' Daeron II and his two heirs, Prince Valar and Martharis."

"The Archbishop, one-third of the Archbishops, and almost all of the Silent Sisters of King's Landing were all taken by the Stranger, as well as Daeron's Prime Minister."

"Brynden Rivers of the new Hand of the King suggested to the new King Inris I that the bodies be transported to the Dragon's Den, and then handed over to the Pyromancers to burn them all."

"It is said that the light of the wildfires during the burning of the corpses makes King's Landing look like it will light up in the night."

"And the others who died in the plague were Lady Rohanne Webb's fourth husband, Roland Ulflin, the eldest son of Lord Damon Lannister and Earl of Bracken, etc..."

The young prince with brown hair was sitting under the candlelight, looking at these shocking words, there was a slight silence, and his fingers tapped the table lightly.

But at this moment, when he looked at the book, he faintly felt a flash of fire outside, and then raised his head to look outside, and a guard just happened to run over.

"Your Highness, something happened again!"

...

Day two.

What happened last night has gradually spread in the barracks.

Although the soldiers did not know that the epidemic seemed to be brewing, the fire last night could not be concealed.

"what happened?"

"I heard that many people were burned to death?"

The soldiers whispered, but Helos still came to the scene of the fire that happened last night.

"As we all know... the flame can wash away all sin."

The eldest prince wearing a black cloak stepped on the charred ground under his feet, and then said.

The big tent that was enough to accommodate more than ten people had turned to ashes at this moment, and the people who stayed inside last night had also been burned alive.

It is said that those who were infected did not have the strength to escape when the fire was burning, and the only doctor who had the strength to escape fell down after running a dozen meters away.

But at this moment, the bodies of all the people who died in the fire are neatly arranged on this blackened land.

Flames can kill viruses. Since ancient times, the most common and effective way for human beings to face plagues is to set fire to burn. After a fire, all the virus fly ashes are annihilated.

The eldest prince of the Valyrian Empire was standing in front of a row of charred corpses. The air was full of scorched lakes and stench, but Helos didn't care, and then he squatted down in front of a corpse. At the same time, he asked without looking back.

"Have you found out the cause of the fire last night?"

"Not yet...not yet, Your Highness."

"Probably the doctor accidentally caught fire while burning the white mulch."

The guard on the side hurriedly shook his head and said, "Last night, this place was strictly isolated, and no outsiders could approach at all. It was only possible that he had caught fire.

After all, the place was full of smoke yesterday, and the white mulch was burning all the time. The white mulch is the kind of herbal medicine whose burning smoke can expel viruses. In this case, it is easy to cause a fire.

"Is it?"

And Helos fiddled with the corpse in front of him with a wooden stick picked up from the ground in his hand~www.NovelMTL.com~ and then asked.

"Attis, what about you?"

"Did you see anything?"

And the Kingsguard of Helos, the giant over four meters tall shook his head and said loudly.

"No, Helos, I fell asleep yesterday."

The giant stood high and saw far away. Helos had expected Artis to see something, but when the fire broke out yesterday, the giant was already asleep, so he didn't see anything.

On the other side, Governor Hendry Bracken of the Riverlands, in a green cloak and a beard around his chin.

He looked at the scorched scene in front of him and the neatly arranged corpses on the ground, with a slightly uneasy look on his face, as if he had something on his mind.

And Helos squatted and didn't see it. He fiddled with the bodies of the victims one by one with a wooden stick. Now this is the third one, but although the body in front of him has been burned beyond recognition, Helos still Recognized each other at a glance.

He was the same physician who accompanied the army yesterday.

Then Heros turned him over with a wooden stick, but at this moment, the movement of his hand paused slightly, as if he noticed something.

"Ok?"

Heros's eyes narrowed slightly, because although it had been scorched, there was a hole in the neck of the military physician that should not have appeared, as if someone shot an arrow through his neck.

But Helos squatted on the ground, shadows shrouded in front of the corpse, and no one could see it.

Then he didn't say anything, just let go of the stick, then clapped his hands and stood up from the ground, looked around at everyone around him and said.

"Bury them."
