”We're assassins”
Jon nodded but in histhe answer assassins like those two are ghosts, they don't even have a reputation let alone a bounty Jon could think of a feers but he was not bothered that et you on your feet” Jon said
”You won't do that froet infected” She said
”I am already infected”
” What?” Miranda's eyes opened wide
”I caught up the thing this ht I have learned the ability to expel any inside harm forcefully so I want to understand what is this illness attacking and how to stop it All I kno is that this is aa hard ti my body heat to rise and I' of it”
” What”
Jon's ht now made Miranda speechless
”Let me clarify further The microbe attacks the body violently but the natural immune system is fairly responsive The problem is how fast the microbe reproduces and how the body reacts The reproduction on both sides of the fight causes the body to crave for food on a large quantity to coy Still, the sinister part about the oes on a ith the immune system not just to suppress it but to wear it off Once that is done, the next target will be the esophagus which the e for you With the body unable to coo down fast If I were to guess, I would say this disease is not soered to be violent by a certain factor Sadly, the common cure is of no help And we don't knoho's patient zero”
” What”
”Don't worry, I've already shared this with Old Cat earlier this ”
” Hold on” Miranda raised her hand ”You are infected too?”
”Oh boy!” Jon held his head, ”It is not your fault It is just that I was a big nerd inof which, ever heard about theons?”
On a later date, Jon was summoned by the Old Woman
”So we found him?” He asked
”Yes The first patient it is His state is quite bad but Isha is talking to hi patient zero as a part of deter how to deal with the epidemic
An hour later, Isha came back with news Patient zero seems to be a miner who discovered a sealed pathway in the mine he works and tried to discover it only to find it filled with undead There were some scratches on his back and that seems to be the reason behind the epide the first patient gave us a lot to work on” Isha said
”Got a location on the mine and the other miners?” Jon asked a Hlaalu clerk
”I'll provide you with records of the place right away, sera (sir)”
”This should work”
”It will”
A few hours later, the clerk returned with an exhausted face
”I have gone through all the records of the scribes regarding the minor and major accidents I only found this” The clerk presented his research results to the Old Woo back to 2E 583? That's even before o”
”What does it say?”
Jon and the Old Woh the paper then looked at each other and frowned
”The Llodos Plague? Not the Llodos Fever?” Jon asked
”The Llodos Fever is an old sickness that appears in the spring all around Dasheen I've never known there was a Plague by the same name If it is the Llodos, shouldn't people have at least immunity to it?” The Old Wo here The Llodos Fever is the watered down version of the Llodos Plague One is regular while the other is pandees as we feared The note says 'The third stage of the plagueof the end for the afflicted The open sores cover most of the afflicted's body, which burns with such heat that the afflicted becomes delirious and subject to hallucinations The afflicted refuses to eat or drink, and any kind of ue is relatively short, lasting fro as five days for those unfortunate enough to hang on'”
”Gods!”
”The final stage of the Llodos plague can take one of two paths Many of the afflicted siue has run its course The other path results in the afflicted transforue Husks] These violent creatures beco they encounter”
”This explains the Undead in thewith an old disease that atered down through the ages but had traces in an old cataco patients That was tricky” Jon concluded
”The Noteherbs, sour le piece of those Krilon, Isha and Galam, you three deal with the undead I will personally prepare the cures”
”On it”
”I want all the patients distributed to four zones Those who are suspected to carry the Plague, those in the first stage, those in the second, and those who are nearing the third But before all, send guards to the Alchemy stores and demand that they hand over their stash of those ite some”
She then turned to Isha
”Isha, did you ask patient zero about any other miners who may have been with him We can't miss someone out” The Old Woman asked
”He said he had t e orcs, that's how he described them”
”Orcs Not quite coht so”
The Old Wonoring the Lords of House Hlaalu who all stood behind her waiting instructions too
