With Wu Hui's instructions, six trainee priests including Catherine checked the wells in the city one by one. They soon found the well with the problem and immediately blocked it.
However, even with the timely blockade, the situation did not improve, and civilians continued to fall. In the short time they were checking the well water, the number of civilians who fell had reached 134.
Even some soldiers in the Knights Templar and the Maiden's Guard showed the same symptoms.
What's worse, Catherine also detected dark element reaction in the well water she took out, and suspected that someone might have put dark witchcraft in the well water.
Only dark wizards can brew dark potions.
Wizards have never been uncommon on the continent. Today, as the Church of Light is in decline, wizards, as one of the few professions that master the secrets of herbs, have a much higher status than before.
However, even now, dark wizards are extremely unpopular.
Because dark wizards worship darkness and death, and believe that death is the destination of the soul. Throughout history, many large-scale plagues were caused by dark wizards. This group of people is notorious.
Catherine and others were angry and anxious.
They had finally occupied Gruburg and put the development of the Holy See of Light gradually on the right track, but dark wizards suddenly appeared and spread the plague. Wasn't this deliberately making things difficult for them
However, no matter how angry you are, you still have to save people first.
Dark wizards have always been secretive, and dark witchcraft is unique in concealing their whereabouts, so it is not easy to find them.
But soon, the six priests no longer had the heart to be angry.
Because of the news from the quarantine area that the symptoms of the elderly who first showed symptoms suddenly worsened and he was about to die, the six people hurried back to the quarantine area and tried their best to save the elderly.
However, just as the old man recovered, another person's symptoms worsened.
The six people had no choice but to continue the rescue without stopping.
During the continuous rescue efforts, the passage of time seemed particularly long.
"Huh~Finally cured another one."
Catherine loosened the linen cloth covering her mouth and nose a little, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then looked down at the old man who had stopped wailing and fell into a deep sleep.
The six priests worked together and continuously performed light healing magic. It took a full quarter of an hour and they finally pulled the man back from the brink of death.
However, this is just one of countless patients.
In the makeshift isolation area, there are more than a hundred patients waiting for treatment.
Catherine looked around and saw patients lying on the bed groaning in pain. Many of them turned their heads to look at them. The hope and desire in their eyes pierced her eyes deeply like steel needles.
The air was filled with the stench of pus, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
"Your Highness, this won't work." Susan pulled the sackcloth covering her face off her nose, with a hint of anxiety on her tired face. "The plague is spreading too fast, and our treatment speed can't keep up."
