Iron Guard city was close to the frost country’s territory.
Shirer had already ordered the Silverfrost Fox family to provide resources and set up a temporary shelter.
This shelter was made up of all kinds of tents. Fortunately, this place was far away from the frost country’s unique permafrost climate, and the temperature was within the acceptable range of the human body.
Therefore, the temporary shelter did not need to consider the issue of keeping warm, but even so… the situation here was still not optimistic.
Shirer rode his horse to patrol the entire shelter. This place was full of infected people from the quarantine zone of the Iron Guard city. Some of them were residents who had settled down in the Iron Guard city, the other part were frost citizens who came to this city to seek work.
“This is indeed a symptom of being affected by the gray fog, but… It’s a little different.”
Shier looked at the plague citizens who were sitting around him. Some of them had dull eyes, while the other group looked at Shier with fear.
“Different? Your Majesty… If you want to study the illness, we have a special alchemy workshop.”
A person in charge of the silverfrost Fox family followed behind Shier with trepidation. The reason he was afraid was that this was a plague area! Just by sitting on the horse and breathing the same air as the plague people, he had a feeling that he would be infected.
If it was possible, he absolutely did not want to come to this damned place, but His Majesty’s orders forced him to obey.
“Are You Afraid?”Shier turned back to look at the person in charge of the Silverfrost Fox.
“It’s not that I’m afraid. Your Majesty, you have to pay attention to your own safety. It’s said that the plague in Iron Guard city is very severe… those infected will die of festering a week ago, and some will even turn into monsters.”
While he was saying this, three civilians suddenly rushed out. He instantly pulled the reins in his hands in fear, and the horses neighed in fear.
“Get lost! All of you get lost! Don’t come any closer! Otherwise…”he put his hand on the sword at his waist, and the knight guards behind him immediately pulled out the sword in their hands.
“Stop, Sir Enak.”
Shier’s cold voice rang in his ears.
“But… But Your Majesty.”
He stared at the three civilians, and there were several traces of festering on their cheeks.
“Do you want to disobey my orders?”
The dignity that shier had built up in the Frost Kingdom was effective at this moment. Although the knight was so afraid that he wanted to turn around and run, he still withdrew the sword in his hand.
Shier directly dismounted from her horse and came in front of the three civilians under the terrified gaze of her followers.
They looked like a family of three with their father and mother bringing their daughter. The father’s condition looked a little strange, and his arms were trembling non-stop.
“Great monarch, please…”
Their mother knelt down first and was about to beg for something from shier, but shier also knelt down in front of her.
“Your Majesty, Please stay away from that dangerous infected person!”
When the knight saw that shier was actually about to reach out and touch the civilian’s festering cheek, he finally could not help but shout out in horror.
“Don’t move.”
A leaf of the world tree appeared in Shier’s hand. Under the woman’s fearful gaze, the leaf of the world tree gently pressed against her festering facial skin.
The contact between the leaf and her facial skin lasted for more than ten seconds. When shier retracted the leaf of the world tree again, the leaf was still intact.
“Is that so?”Shier looked at the leaf in her hand. At that moment, the man behind the woman suddenly lost control and rushed toward shier with a terrifying roar.
Shier was already prepared. The moment her fingertips touched the ground, a cold aura began to spread with her as the center. In the next moment, the man was frozen into an ice sculpture.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t kill her… and relax.”
Shier paused when she said this, because she really didn’t know how to comfort others. Suddenly, shier thought of something, and the interface of the magic net appeared in front of the woman and the boy.
In the interface of the magic net, an owl used its wings to give a thumbs up, and the words “It’s all done!”were beside it.
“Mother! It’s a waving owl!”The boy’s fear was washed away by the cute cartoon image, while his mother hugged the boy and cried.
“Sir, come here.”After doing all this, shier ordered the sir.
“Your Majesty… This…”
It was already the limit for him to come to this shelter, not to mention the distance between him and those infected people.
However, Shier’s terrifying expression made him understand that disobeying orders would result in a very tragic outcome.
Thus, the man slowly walked in front of shier with extremely awkward steps. Every step he took seemed to bring him one step closer to hell.
“What are you afraid of? The symptoms on their bodies are not contagious.”Shier looked at the leaf in his palm once again to confirm this point.
“Not contagious? But one-third of the residents of Iron Guard city have already experienced this symptom.”
This knight had escaped from Iron Guard city, so he firmly believed in the plague.
“I know, but at least the source of infection is not these innocent civilians.”
Shier had already dealt with two cases where the gray fog had caused disease. The first was the case of the Frost Wolf family’s mineral vein, and the second was the case of the white frost deer family’s prisoners in the dungeon.
“The gray fog is not contagious. Moreover, the only thing that can affect humans is the human spirit. The damage to the body is very small.”Shier glanced at the frozen man. His expression seemed to have lost his mind.
“What do you mean?”
“The real source of infection is something else. The thing that causes their skin to fester is the effect of a certain drug, or some kind of creature.”This was what shier could infer. “The infected people in Iron Guard city are at most my people. Someone is secretly poisoning the people of the frost kingdom and then spreading it as a plague.”
“Is there any benefit in doing so?”
The Knight was still a little unwilling to believe Shier’s analysis.
“Hatred.”Shier looked at the distant Iron Guard city. The smoke of something being burned spread all the way to the sky.
She was no longer the naive little girl when she first took office. Shier knew that it was very easy to make one person hostile to another.
“Someone wants to incite the hatred of other countries towards the people of the frost country, and it has already taken effect.”
After saying this, shier dispelled the freezing spell on the man’s body. He also lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
“Pass down my orders. Thoroughly investigate the nearby rivers and drinking water sources for any signs of drug use. Also, investigate the source of the food! “Also, get the healers to come in and check their symptoms. If anyone dares to disobey… Just tell me their names.”
After saying this, shier sat back on his warhorse. At the same time, Shier opened the interface of his weave.
‘I know you’re online. Quickly reply me.’
Shier sent a message to the person who sent the fire. Instantly, he attached an expression of an owl kicking a door with its claws.
