The orange potion flowed into the ice along the gap and into the wounds of the two patients. The black insects tumbling and wriggling in the wounds soon quieted down.
It''s not difficult to poison these worms. The difficulty lies in not poisoning the patients. After trying more than a dozen drugs, this orange drug successfully killed all the worms and didn''t kill the two people.
When the epidemic crisis was solved, Manda gave him a big reward. Unfortunately, he didn''t want gold coins, jewelry or sacred objects. He only wanted a can of wine and a roast chicken.
Such people are admirable, but they are difficult to buy.
Manda made a batch of medicinal powder overnight and sent it to frost flower city, and ordered no one to get close to the forest without authorization.
When he returned to the king''s capital, Lucius had left. He ate roast chicken, drank wine, and left the plate and wine can.
"This is a good man, a good man worthy of respect," Manda sighed lightly. "Unfortunately, because of this, I may never have a chance to meet again in the future."
Two days later, Lucius came to Manda''s residence.
"The messengers of the gods on earth, we meet again."
Manda nodded and said, "I''m a little surprised, too."
This time he was holding a man behind him, wrapped in heavy bandages.
Manda was stunned: "this man also got the epidemic?"
Rasius nodded, "the sick from Jiaoye city."
"Also infected with black velvet worms?"
"It''s not a black velvet bug." latheus pulled the man''s hand and untied a little bandage. When a small piece of skin was exposed, the skin turned into smoke in the twinkling of an eye under the sun, and the exposed flesh and blood was soon charred.
Because the bandage was too thick, the patient didn''t make a sound. Judging from the shaking range of his body, the sunlight made him very painful.
Latheus wrapped the bandage for him: "this man can''t see the light. More than a dozen of the same diseases have occurred in Jiaoye City, most of which have turned into ashes in the sun."
"Is this disease contagious?"
"Yes," rasius nodded. "If you are bitten by a patient, you will have the same symptoms."
Die of light after being bitten? Is this the ancestor of vampires?
"I''m afraid it''s not easy to cure..." Manda thought for a long time and couldn''t think of the magic to treat this strange disease.
Lucius said, "the patient died of light. You should know who the plague came from."
Apollo, he and Artemis have been restless.
Although the disease is difficult to treat, it still has some preventive measures. Just let all the people come out to bask in the sun regularly. Those who refuse to bask in the sun will be killed.
Lucius was disappointed with Manda: "I thought you would save them, but I didn''t expect you to be so cruel."
"If we don''t be cruel to them, we will be cruel to more people. We can only eliminate the source of the disease before we find drugs."
"It''s no use killing all of them!" Lucius was angry. "You don''t know the way the disease came to the world. What should you do if Apollo dropped the plague in another city?"
"Calm down, friend," Manda showed great patience for the kind and stubborn people. "I will continue to find ways to treat them, but before I can take care of them, I must let as few people infected with the epidemic as possible."
That night, Manda called Pluto and treated him for three days. Pluto failed.
On the fourth day, Pluto unfolded a painting and went in. Two days later, he came out haggard with a pile of drugs.
Manda said with concern, "it''s hard for you."
"It''s nothing. Studying witchcraft is a painstaking thing."
"Have you got anything?"
"You can have a try. I''ve come up with some new prescriptions these two days."
"You thought of it all alone?"
"Yes." Pluto was a little unnatural.
"How''s the tundra witch?" Manda hit the point.
"You can go in and say hello to her," Pluto pointed to the picture. "Don''t say I didn''t remind you. There''s more than one witch in there."
……
Pluto''s medicine didn''t work. Manda had no choice but to continue to execute the killing order. This epidemic took away as much as one fifth of the population of Jiaoye city. Now this rich city is full of ashes turned by infected people.
Manda receives warnings from different gods every night. They all have the same request. They must receive sacrifices, otherwise they will continue to spread the plague.
Manda did not give orders for sacrifice, nor did she organize any sacrifice.
Half a month later, latheus appeared again. This time, he brought two young men with their hands and feet bound by iron chains and heavy bits in their mouths like animals.
"What is this disease?"
Lucius said, "if I untie their ties, the two men will fight recklessly until one side dies, the victorious side will continue to attack other men, and the attacked side will be full of fighting spirit and fight to the end."
Manda was stunned: "this is a good disease. If it can be used in the battlefield..."
"You think too much," said latheus, pointing to the two men. "They won''t obey orders at all. They will only fight each other. Even if they are brothers, they will fight until one side dies. If this epidemic spreads, the men in a city will soon die, and even the men in the whole kingdom will not be spared."
"It''s not so exaggerated!" Manda looked indifferent. Recently, he saw too many strange things. "Which God spread the disease?"
Latheus thought hard for a long time: "the only reasonable explanation should be Ares, which is very consistent with ares''s tyrannical temperament."
It can''t be Ares. He completely fell, and the only soul left was destroyed by Hermes.
Is it because of Athena that men become full of fighting spirit? After all, he is also the God of war.
But Athena''s living condition is worrying. She is basically in the state of knife neck. Hermes takes strict care of her. Does he dare to come out and do something?
Manda stared at the two men and had to know why they were fighting.
The two men, one about 20 and the other about 40, were very strong. Manda took off the young man''s bit and asked, "why do you fight with him?"
The young man said, "he doesn''t even have a wife. He lives alone, but he lives in a house with six houses. I have a wife and four children, but I can only squeeze in a shack!"
Manda untied the middle-aged man''s bit and asked, "because he hit you, so you want to fight back?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I''ve long wanted to beat him. This stupid boy has no money and no ability. Why does he have a wife and children!"
The young man smiled and said, "that''s because I used it. Your two wives ran away. Who doesn''t know you''re a loser!"
The middle-aged man suddenly broke away from the rope, one punch collapsed the bridge of the young man''s nose, and two punches made the young man unconscious.
Manda now believes in the existence of Lu Zhishen. If he makes a third punch, the young man will die. He just wanted to stop, but he was stopped by Lucius.
He used his skills to freeze the middle-aged man, turned back and said to Manda, "if you are accidentally injured by him, you will fall into the same madness."
"Very interesting epidemic." Manda doesn''t think the epidemic can bring serious disaster. It''s just a fight, and it can only be transmitted in one line. One person can pass it to another, two people fight each other, one person dies and the other continues to spread. It should not have the possibility of large-scale spread.
But Manda was wrong. Pidun city was very close to Wangdu. Three days later, Manda received the news that men in the whole city were fighting each other, and hundreds of people were killed every day.
Worst of all, the soldiers couldn''t stop the men, or they would go crazy with them.
Finally, Roma had to rely on it. Because the epidemic was not effective for women, Roma formed a women''s corps and spent two days suppressing the riots in pidun city. At the same time, Pluto also developed drugs to restrain the epidemic, but the drugs had serious side effects.
Middle aged and young people changed their views on each other after they were cured by drugs.
They sat in the garden, reflecting deeply on the past.
The middle-aged man said, "stay with me and don''t suffer in the shack."
The young man shook his head and said, "I can''t leave the children. They are too young."
"Take it together. You know I like children."
"You know that woman in my family. She''s mean, stupid and unreasonable. I''m afraid she''ll hurt you."
"I don''t care!" the middle-aged man clenched the young man''s hand. "From the day I chose you, I''m willing to bear all this!"
From killing each other to loving each other, a dose of medicine is enough.
Manda looked at Pluto and said, "what prescription did you use? Why did it have such serious consequences?"
"I don''t think it has anything to do with the prescription," Pluto looked at Manda. "I just weakened their anger, let them put down their estrangement and become more honest."
"How many people have taken medicine?"
"Almost all the men in pidun city are infected with the disease. Half of them have taken medicine and become more honest. There are still half..."
Either watch them fight to death, or watch them grow old together. The women of pidun city are completely ignored.
The city is also over and has lost the possibility of reproduction.
The Oracle ring lit up and Hermes finally responded.
We have to discuss the situation before him. A God may be able to deal with his malice, but Manda can''t resist the siege of the gods.
