The dark clouds surrounded the sun like living things, and rolled down low in the sky, giving people a feeling of depression. The birds flew very low, the air was humid, and the mosquitoes scurried about attracting the birds to people.
A little grey sparrow pouted and jumped onto Xu Jun's shoulder, eating the blood-sucking flies that landed on his leather armor while jumping. This thing is very common in the south, most in summer, and even in autumn, when it arrives It disappeared in winter.
This blood-sucking fly is very large, and it may have lived for more than a year before being eaten by a small bullfinch. The bird's wings fluttered and hit Xu Jun's face.
After eating the blood-sucking flies, the grey sparrow shuddered all over, then jumped and flew away again—just after it left Xu Jun's body, it threw a thin dung from the air and landed in front of Xu Jun's left foot.
Xu Jun: "..."
Jace half-smiled: "Congratulations, brave man, it seems that animals like you very much. In human stories, animals only like pure souls."
Xu Jun thought that he likes the pure virgin, isn't this your unicorn, but now he is not in the mood to joke with Jace: "Let's go, go to the herbal shop first."
People on the street were coming and going, and they were all silent. Lance took Xu Jun's hand and asked if he was going to buy medicine? Xu Juncai opened his mouth to explain to him.
"Herbs can not only be used to make medicines, but also used as 'reagents'. Herbs have a good test effect on the corresponding elements. For example, fire grass will spontaneously ignite in places with high fire element content, and dew grass in water. Where the elemental content is high, dew drops very quickly."
"Dark elements also have their corresponding herbs, such as low-level snow orchid, which will wither where dark elements gather. Humans are much slower than these herbs, so if you want to know the changes in the surrounding elements, just prepare some Herbs are fine."
Many of these things are strategies and tips, and in the real world, few warriors use herbs like this. One is that most people do not have storage bags, and herbal medicines will expire in a few days if they are not handled properly, and the other is that the medicinal effect of this herbal medicine is very poor, and it is too sensitive to some elements, so it can easily deteriorate and cannot be used. .
The warriors in this world have their own rules. Whether they are holy knights, ordinary knights or even adventurers, everyone does what they can. Each does not exceed this level, and does not use many small skills.
Generally speaking, only players go back to fight the Demon King.
If it was in the real world, who would do such a near-death thing.
But Xu Jun still told Lance everything he knew.
The medical center in Montama City was full, with the most elderly and children, young men and women as their escorts. This month, the city is really chaotic, it seems that all the weaker people are getting sick at the same time. Crying and moans of pain spread halfway across the city. The pharmacists and doctors in the medical hall were also busy as flies, and after a while, another person was brought out.
"- Let let! Let let!"
"—whose house is this?"
"...Lao Luo who makes quills at the intersection of the street - I'm sorry, what about Lao Luo's son? Is his son here?"
People shunned them. Some people asked who Lao Luo was, and some people said that Lao Luo made quills for people. He didn’t get married and adopted a son. Qianhua, now Lao Luo has black disease, and he is unwilling to let him take care of him.
"Then where did his son go?"
"—Who knows, maybe he ran away." The woman who claimed to be Lao Luo's former neighbor said cursingly, "With such a son, why not kick him to death earlier."
As usual, everyone expressed sympathy for Lao Luo's affairs. If this was normal, many well-meaning people would definitely come forward to pay for Lao Luo's burial. The black disease seems to be contagious, so the confirmed patients were all killed. Arranged in a hospital, whoever is carried out like this is dead.
It's a pity that many people are sick now, and everyone is worried about their own affairs. Lao Luo was finally arranged outside the city, and two strong men went to bury it hastily.
If this is normal, it may also be thrown in the mass grave, but now the situation is special, the body must be buried, Lao Luo avoids the fate of being bitten by wild dogs.
"It's good luck, too," people finally said.
Next, everyone will do their own thing. Those who are waiting in line to see a doctor will continue to wait for the doctor, and those who are waiting for the doctor to deliver meals to their relatives will continue to wait anxiously: Although people with black disease need to be isolated, most of them are the elderly and children. , how can the family let them keep eating the bland and tasteless canteen food in the hospital.
The unlucky doctor who eats in the cafeteria of the medical center every day: "...our cafeteria food is not bad, really."
Xu Jun took Lance through the medical hall. The herbal shop and the medical hall were separated by a bar. Half of the wooden sign at the door was broken, and a solitary antler was painted on the remaining half. There was no one at the door. No. The herbal medicine shop is also very busy. The guy slept lazily inside, and only got up when he heard footsteps: "Who is it?"
Xu Jun looked at the window: "Is there any snow orchid here?"
The guy stretched his waist: "Guest, look at it yourself, some herbs are marked on the window, if there is no mark, there is no one."
This attitude really doesn't look like a herbal shop guy. In order to collect medicines, Xu Jun ran past half of the herbal medicine shops in the entire Divine Dependent Continent. The guy was so enthusiastic. As soon as he walked in, he didn't say what he wanted to buy, but the guy rubbed his hands and walked over: "Guest, look What would you like to order? What kind of potion do you want? Our shop has recently bought fresh herbs? We also have herbs that can improve the beeping ability!"
- It's just noisy. At that time, Xu Jun was completely a single dog (although he still is), listening to some beeping ability herbs will only make him more irritable!
Who the hell needs that, your games don't even allow porn mods!
But now, this guy just left him aside, he felt even more awkward _(:зゝ∠)_
"Snow orchid is marked on the window, but it's empty. Haven't it been time to replenish it yet?" Xu Jun just finished asking a sentence, and the man waved his hand like a fan: "That means it's out of stock, If you just want to buy some snow orchids, please don’t come to our store, our golden rose herbal shop is very high-end, low-level herbs like snow orchids… you can go out and dig some of them yourself.”
Xu Jun blinked, thinking about the Golden Rose Herbal Shop, how could Lao Tzu still chat and laugh with the patriarch of the Golden Rose Family. If this was the world he was originally in, he could complain directly about this attitude. It's a pity that the world has not complained about this statement, and his identity is only an ordinary brave. If he comes up and wears a knight armor, it is estimated that the little guy will lose his smile.
Hey, I'm so angry, why can't I time travel when I'm playing Noble!
There were a few more people outside the door, and the guy cheered up. The idle adventurers who were able to go this month because of the black disease have already left, and many caravans have also taken advantage of the opportunity to do business to leave north. Only the ordinary residents and the army stationed here are left in Mondama City. Now the city lords are giving speeches calling on everyone to get through this difficult time together. The words "black disease can't defeat us, and the glory of the city of Montama is passed on by every one of his people" is impassioned, and the people below it for a while It was also aroused by some blood, but as the number of sick and dead increased, the blood became cold again.
Like the guy from the Golden Rose Herbal Shop, he was not originally from Montama City. The Golden Rose Herbal Shop was affiliated to the "Golden Rose Family" of the Golden Banner Empire, that is, Toloman, who had two great scholars. The family emblem is a golden rose. The guy is a member of the Toloman family. Although he is not a nobleman, he is more like a servant in terms of identity, but this type of person thinks that he is a high-ranking commoner.
The world is still unequal after all.
The little guy usually greets people with a smile on his face, but during this period of black disease raging, the family did not call him back as if he had forgotten him. He was afraid and panicked, feeling like he was waiting to die in Montama City, and his attitude was also different. It's getting worse day by day.
"Why can they run away, but I have to wait to die..." the little guy muttered, wiping the window glass with a rag to vent his anger. A few guests who just came by the door tied their horses, and when they saw Mantou, they exclaimed in surprise, "Mantou! You are here too! -Is Senior Xu Jun there?"
Mantou stepped on his front hoof to signal that Xu Jun was in the store. This young man turned out to be Ska, and there were two people behind him, but they were not the little knights of their Eagle Strike Knights.
Ska has not had a good time in the city these days. Seeing that more and more people are suffering from the Black Death, he is a knight who can't do anything. Not only that, the family also told him to hurry up. He doesn't want to go back. Now the family has sent a senior knight to guard him at the branch in Montama City, and his eldest brother is also on his way here _(:зゝ∠)_
Ska was righteous, saying that as a knight, how could he abandon the civilians of Montama City and sneak away without caring for himself? His eldest brother sent an urgent letter from 800 miles away: "Come back quickly, or I will catch you back."
Ska... remembered that his eldest brother was not only a great scholar, but also a magus... terrifying strength.
But now that he saw Senior Xu Jun there, he immediately felt at ease: Senior Xu Jun must know what to do!
He quickly trotted into the store: "Senior Xu Jun? Have you been interested in any herbal medicine? - This store is opened by my family, you can choose whatever you want, and don't need any money!"
Two senior knights of the Toloman family who were ordered to supervise Ska: "..."
... Master, come quickly! Your brother is going to be abducted by an idle adventurer! Also called the seniors!
But Ska didn't realize the dog-like mood of the two senior knights that day, and even moved a stool over for Xu Jun to sit on: "Senior, look, what the hell is going on with that black disease in the city! … My eldest brother is coming to arrest me and go back QAQ and my Eagle Strike Knights were also forced to disband, senior Xu Jun, what do you think about this!"
- The little knight has always been very polite, always calling Xu Jun a senior and saying honorifics. Xu Jun told him not to be so restrained, but now he is in a hurry and forgets it.
—The faces of those two senior knights were ashen, and the young man was so frightened that he was speechless. Oh my god, he just had that attitude towards the "senior" of the second young master...
Only Jace, looking left and right, felt bored, so he went out to accompany Mantou.
