Infinite Throne

The footsteps stopped outside the door, and the other party should be standing in front of the door.

Inside the brown glass lampshade, the thin flame kept dancing, as if a naughty child was trying to blow it out. There was actually silence inside the house, the air was stagnant and damp, and there was no wind.

The people outside the door were silent for a long time, not knowing what they were waiting for.

A strange dampness and coldness rose from behind, and Lin Yebai looked out through the peephole on the door.

[Uchiha Milk Tea]: High energy warning ahead!

[Braised Big Chicken Legs]: Prosperity, Democracy and Freedom

[Literary Instructor]: It is recommended that Zaizai, who lives alone, post a miniature version of a muscular man inside the cat's eye, to show the outsiders a little color.

[Big Cucumber]: I think it’s okay! As expected of you! What a great idea to lead a teacher!

When something strange happens, you can often see other people's eyes when you look out of the peephole, and this time is no exception.

A gray eye is inside the cat's eye, looking from the outside in, trying to peek at the residents inside the door. The pupils were dull and dark, seeming to contain a strange smile, which was chilling.

Of course, the eye inside the door is no less impressive. It has blood-colored pupils that a normal person would never have. It is cold and strange. When he looks out, it lights up slightly, as if he has discovered something valuable.

It’s points for walking!

Lin Yebai opened the door immediately, but unfortunately there was no one outside, leaving only a pair of footprints larger than a normal man's, and a pool of slightly sticky black water that exuded the fishy smell of the sea.

Lin Yebai, who loves to be clean, frowned slightly.

The black water was frozen and shoveled into the trash.

The cold wind blew in, and the wind chimes sounded a hollow sound, corresponding to the faint sound of coughing. The streets were filled with thick gray fog, making it impossible to see beyond ten meters.

A white shell wind chime is tied outside the door, which is a symbol of the clinic. If the doctor is open in the clinic, the wind chime will be hung. If the doctor is not available, the wind chime is brought into the room.

Before Lin Yebai closed the door, a thin crow flew over. After spotting Lin Yebai, it felt a little confused and felt close to him. It took the initiative to stop in Lin Yebai's hand, shook its damp feathers, and exposed the bird's legs. mailbox.

"Dear Mr. Lin En, my old habit has happened again, and I look forward to your arrival. I know that all doctors are helpless against the epidemic, and you are also troubled by it. I seem to have discovered something related to the epidemic. I look forward to your arrival. Arrival. —Hezmer Davis”

Lin Yebai could only reply briefly and put the letter paper into the mailbox on the bird's leg again. His handwriting may be different from that of the original doctor, and he is not familiar with the ancient language here, so writing more will be useless.

The crow was drying its feathers near the fireplace, and Lin Yebai broke off a small piece of bread. It obediently finished the meal without leaving even the crumbs, and flew out of the door.

This kind of crow is different from ordinary crows. It is a unique creature of Ulanto. It is a species derived from ordinary crows and a kind of seabird. It has white feathers on its head. After training, it can help deliver messages. It is often called "letter crow".

Lin Yebai closed the door again and began to look for the doctor's medical records. This doctor has a very good habit of leaving corresponding records and charges for every patient he has treated.

"Haizmo Davis, 177 Coconut Grove Road, North Street, retired captain, joint pain, herbal cold compress, 3 silver coins each time. Mr. Davis is an alcoholic. He comes home drunk every night, often Joint pain cannot be cured by sleeping on the road.”

Lin Yebai pulled out another map and looked for No. 177 Yelin Road.

It's not far from here, it takes about twenty minutes to walk.

In the past, when there was no epidemic, carriage drivers could be seen everywhere on the streets. Only a few copper coins could save more than half of the time.

The thunder is far away from here, probably it's raining over the sea.

Lin Yebai took an umbrella, carried the medicine box and went out, putting the shell and wind chimes back in the room.

Most of the buildings in the city are black. There is a black rock producing area near Ulanto. The stone is cheap and inexhaustible. Except for a few nobles who have excessive requirements for their own manors, most people choose black rocks, which are solid and stable and do not have to worry about waves during heavy rains and high tides.

The houses on the street are all similar, and some house numbers are covered with black mold, making them completely unclear.

After turning a corner, Lin Yebai saw a street that was not on the map. No matter which direction you go, you will always come back to where you started.

The bird's beak protective clothing is made of a waterproof material. Black water droplets have condensed on the surface due to fog. After being frozen, they all fall down with a shake.

Lin Yebai had marked it, but still couldn't tell the direction.

The crow had to be released.

Letter crows can survive, so should crows? If it shows no discomfort, it can be released.

"Quack quack..."

After the crow came out, it stopped on Lin Yebai's shoulder and looked around.

What is this place? Why is it all foggy? It’s so annoying!

"I'm lost." Lin Yebai was very honest.

"Quack, quack, quack!" The crow instantly became happy, Zai Zai has a great day too!

It flew a few meters, and its feathers became damp. I had a strange premonition that if it flew farther, it might be separated from Lin Yebai.

It flew back and landed on Lin Yebai's shoulder again.

"Gah——"

It wants to speak, but the level is not enough for the time being, so it can only express its general meaning through a contract.

Lin Yebai must have been caught in some kind of special space-time chaos, and he had to wait until it was over before he could get out. He couldn't attack at will for the time being, so as not to aggravate the changes around him.

Lin Yebai rubbed Crow's head and walked slowly on this long street that he would never get out of. There are tall and solemn black buildings on both sides of the road. They are all similar. After looking at them for a long time, they will feel strange. There seems to be no residents inside, like a ghost town.

He heard footsteps again, but they were normal footsteps. Two men in aristocratic costumes were walking and talking. Judging from the surrounding environment, they were in a garden, which was completely different from the black streets.

Seemingly discovering something, he turned his head to look in the direction of Lin Yebai, but found nothing. Two salted fish lay side by side on the ground, one big and one small, completely covered by the mist.

Lin Yebai had already tried to see if he could turn himself into a salted fish, and it was actually possible. Quite hidden and not easy to be found.

"I wonder if Princess Andrea can solve this strange infectious disease. At least one-third of the residents in the city are infected with this disease and will die in less than a week."

"Princess Andrea brings her Knights of the Rose to arrive from the imperial capital. It will take about half a month. By the time she arrives, everyone in the city may have died of illness."

"Princess Andrea will take the newly developed steam train Hope. It will only take five days, and you will be able to see Her Royal Highness soon. Moreover, there are many magicians in Her Royal Highness's Knights of the Rose, who will definitely be able to solve infectious diseases. ”

"With Ulanto's political achievements, there will be no more obstacles for His Highness to inherit the throne. By the way, is the infectious disease a coincidence or a necessity?"

"It depends on who can benefit from it in the end, at least not the dead."

The scene of the two talking quickly disappeared like mist, and Lin Yebai returned to his human form and continued walking.

"Sir, help us..."

In the empty room, two children huddled together. One of them had lost consciousness, and the other struggled to crawl toward the door. He coughed from time to time and spit out water.

Lin Yebai walked towards them. The moment before entering the door, the house disappeared together with the two children. Not far ahead, a cat with a broken neck stared at him, with an exaggerated smile on its lips.

Lin Yebai stabbed the cat, and the cat fell to the ground, its body and head completely separated.

I didn't receive any points prompts. Maybe it was just an ordinary mob after the mutation, and I couldn't even collect points.

After encountering several strange spatial confusions one after another, Lin Yebai felt that the opportunity to leave here might be to enter a random real space. It would be better if it is closer to Ulanto after going out. If it is far away, it will be very troublesome. The prop-related tasks should be in Ulanto.

While he was thinking about it, he saw a large group of people heading in a certain direction. They were uniformly dressed in black robes, holding white candles, with sullen faces and solemn expressions. They were dragging a coffin in a carriage, probably a funeral procession.

Lin Yebai joined in.

The others glanced at him, said nothing, and continued to move forward.

"Which doctor are you?" An old man tremblingly handed over a candle.

Lin Yebai took the candle and lit it with the help of the old man's candle.

Now he also has a candle.

"Lynn."

"So it's you...are you back from a medical visit?"

"Some strange things happened. Whose funeral is this?" Lin Yebai asked.

"Haizmo Davis." The old man rubbed his red eyes, tears almost flowing out.

Lin Yebai also didn't expect that the patient who wrote him a letter not long ago would be directly buried. If he had gone out earlier, he might have been able to save his life.

"Sorry." Lin Yebai lowered his voice:

"I hope you can express your condolences and accept the change."

Could this old man be Davis's father? It is indeed difficult to lose a child in old age.

[I’ll give it a shot]: In fact, doctors in the Middle Ages mostly used phlegm therapy to treat diseases. No matter what the disease was, they only needed to bleed it twice and it was over. There were sharp knives in the medicine box, and the effect can be imagined.

[Magician’s Great Zen Staff]: Actually it’s not that bad. There is extraordinary power in this world, and medical knowledge should be well developed.

"I'm sorry, for God's sake, he still owes me sixty silver coins..." The old man's eyes were red, and every tear he shed was sincere.

"This rude and shameless dwarf owes me a hundred silver coins."

"Captain Davis, he owes me twenty silver coins."

"He hasn't paid for this month's drinks yet."

"He also owed a lot of cigarettes on credit..."

"He lent me a pair of boots without returning them, and a set of cutlery."

"Who knows if he was a real captain before? He moved here later. We didn't see any ships at that time. How could he be the captain of the Black Whale when he was young? He must have drank too much, and what was in his mind It’s all just paste, that’s why you’re making such a fuss, even if you believe what a drunkard says!”

The people holding candles looked at each other, talking, and gradually became more and more emotional. Coincidentally, all the people attending the funeral were the deceased's creditors.

[Ordinary Me]: I seem to have learned something

[Male plus man]: Me too

[I am a little green dragon]: Will anyone among you reincarnations lend points to others? Stop dreaming

[Lemon Pickled Fish]: If you ask 1,000 people, as long as a few of them agree, you will make money.

[Soft Cat Ears]: I don’t know if you can borrow it, but I know that if Zai Zai wants to borrow money, it will be very easy, and I will be very willing to lend money to Zai Zai.

"The deceased rests in peace. He has never done anything bad and he is a good person." The priest who accompanied him comforted him, feeling a little uneasy. In fact, Davis also owed him thirty silver coins and had not paid back.

"It was hard to tell before, but at least he hasn't done anything bad since he moved to Coconut Grove Road."

"I hope he has enough inheritance to pay off his debts."

After the funeral, the city government staff will act as notaries to distribute the property.

"I hope so too."

But everyone here understands that if someone can borrow from all the neighbors, what inheritance can he have?

We can only hope that he is really a captain and has hidden treasures in his residence, or that there are valuable things in his home that can be shared with everyone.

The cemetery is in the suburbs, and Davis did not die of illness, so the body does not need to be burned. He probably drank a lot of alcohol again, fell down, and accidentally hit his head on the stone in the yard, and died.

He has no relatives and few friends. The neighbors helped Davis change his clothes and clean his body because Davis would help him with some small things, so that he could leave more decently.
