"This is the fourth person I heard of died of the plague today." Heinz said when White told him the news. "The boys in the bar said nothing. They just bet how many people they can have before it gets dark."

To some extent, Bai En was happy with the news. In the past few days, the citizens talked about nothing but the burning of the engineering school. Most people claim that this is the destruction done by evil admirers or Burtanians, and some even speculate that this is a conspiracy of the Gaitans.

To be honest, this is very unusual. Heidelberg may be located in the western part of the Marnudi Empire. People here rarely talk about Gaitans, but more like Burtanians. Their killing of the great King Charles in Istana may prove that King Charles was not that great.

In addition, they also like to talk about Burtania ’s backward system, blind worship, and stubborn knighthood. Occasionally, there is a monster that is not prepared to bloodbath Burtania and is defeated. But that monster is often used as the protagonist of horror stories. However, Bain thought that the reason they liked to talk about the Burtanians rather than the Gaitans was because the Marnus empire had defeated the Burtanians on the battlefield, and they stubbornly believed that The Burtanians are nothing more than a group of backward slave owners. The Gaitans, just like the Burtanians, have their own wars and losses, but there is no doubt that the Marnudi Empire is on the defensive in the east. Therefore, even if the residents of Heidelberg mention the Gaitans occasionally, most of them are ironic about the weakness of the soldiers in the eastern provinces.

Of course, Baien also understands that this is related to the fact that many veterans of Heidelberg participated in the battle that was too much in Burtania. The soldiers who participated in the battle are now old, and when bragging about their heroic deeds when they were young, they will of course give priority to the biggest battlefield they have participated in.

"What do you think?" Bai En asked, looking around to see how many people were present. The bar was full of people, and the inevitable shoving had caused friction. Bai En is sure that there will be trouble tonight. "I bet money on ten. Last year, when red pox occurred, twenty people died before noon. But then red pox was a terrible disease. The worst kind in 20 years. However, you never know-this sentence means that this time it may be worse before the end. "

"I mean, what do you think caused it?" Bai En said. "How do you think it spread?"

"I'm not a doctor, Bane, I'm a bartender. I guess it was spread by the tramp and the witch. This is what my wife Loti often said."

"Do you think I will infect it from that poor man?"

"Maybe. I won't worry. When Old Man Moore took your name out of his **** hat, you couldn't do anything about it. That's what I thought. But one thing is for sure." " What is that? "Bai En asked casually.

"It's good for business. When the plague comes, people flock to the tavern. They want to forget about it as soon as possible."

"Maybe they want to get drunk." Bai En pouted.

"Trust me, Bai En, there is a worse way to die."

"It does."

"Okay, you better go there, don't let those Tyreans draw knives on each other, otherwise we will have a vivid demonstration soon."

"I will handle it."

Bai En hurriedly intervened in the dispute. It only takes a few seconds, and he has to worry about more immediate dangers than plague.

"So don't you worry about the plague?" Bai En said, avoiding a drunk mercenary.

"There's no need to struggle with this kind of thing, humans." Grerogan replied, grabbing the ear of a mercenary, pulling his head down as low as the dwarf, and then gave the man a head mallet, this face The lower man's nose squirted out the blood, adding a bright color to the hair crown above the dwarf's head.

"In the dozen or so sieges that have gone through. Humans have fallen down in large numbers; and I am fine. Dwarves are usually not infected with the plague. We leave these to those less tenacious races, such as elves and humans."

Bai En grabbed the necks of two arguing mercenary companions and dragged them up. Guerrerogan grabbed one, and Bane himself grabbed the other, and they threw them from the shutters onto the muddy streets.

"The worst thing I have ever experienced is a hangover," Guerrerogan clapped and said. "Don't come back!" He shouted towards the street.

Bai En turned to look at the bar. As Heinz expected, it was already full. The nobles in the slums were mixed with half the swingers and villains in the city. A large group of mercenaries who just arrived from the Midland Caravan route are spending their money, as if there is no tomorrow.

Maybe they are right, Bai En thought. Maybe there will be no tomorrow. Perhaps all street predictors are right. Maybe the end of the world is coming. For the man who died on the street, the world is indeed over today.

In the far corner, he saw Elisa talking to a strong young man, wearing a peasant-style denim tunic and leggings. Their conversation became temporarily active, and then Eliza turned to leave. As she did this, the young man reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Bai En began to move past to intervene. For the maids, being caught by a drinker is a professional hazard, but he doesn't want this to happen to Elisa. She turned around and said something to the young man. He opened his hand and immediately released Eliza, with a shocked expression on his face. Eliza left him there, the young man's mouth wide open, and a painful expression in his eyes.

Eliza raised her head, carrying a tray full of empty wine glasses, and hurried by. Bai En grabbed her arm, turned her body around, and kissed her on the cheek.

"I didn't get the plague," he said, but she struggled away.

Bane can hear the word "plague" on every table. In this **** city, there seems to be no other topic to talk about.

"Really, I didn't have it." Bai En added softly. He turned around and noticed that the young man talking to Elisa was staring at him with anger in his eyes. Bai En wanted to talk to him in the past, but before he could speak, the young farmer stood up and walked toward the door with great strides.

————

"I know you didn't get the plague," Elisa said, snuggling Bane on the small bed shared by the two ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ she picked up a piece of straw drilled out of the mattress hole and started using it Tickling under his nose. "You don't have to tell me all the time. Really, I hope you don't say this again."

"Maybe I'm comforting myself," he said, grabbing her by the wrist and not letting her move. He extended his other hand to tease her. "Who were you talking to just now?" He asked.

"When?"

"In the bar below. A young man. It seems to come directly from the farm."

"Oh, then, did you see him?" She asked, pretending to look innocent in her voice.

"Obviously."

"This is Hans."

"Who is Hans?" Bai En said quietly.

"He is just a friend."

"From his eyes, my eyes don't seem to think so."

"We used to go out together in the village, but he was very jealous and had a bad temper."

"Did he hit you?"

"No, he would hit anyone who thought he was looking at me with the wrong eyes. The elders in the village were fed up and shut him up. Later he ran to the city to find his wealth, as he did Say."

"Is that why you came here to find him?"

"Maybe. That was a long time ago. Heidelberg is a big place. I haven't seen him again. Until this evening, he walked into the Blind Pig Tavern. He didn't look much changed.

"Are you close?"

"once."

"Isn't it now?" "No longer." Elisa looked at him seriously. "You asked a lot of questions, Bai En."

"Then stop me from asking," he said, kissing her greedily. But he was still thinking about the meeting between Eliza and Hans, and what happened between them.
