Chapter 462: Broken Mountains and Rivers
Manda was not looking for the wrong place, this is Phalaenopsis Town, which is less than twenty miles away from Longyin City, the largest city in the southeast.
When Manda saw Phalaenopsis Town for the first time, she thought she had come to hell.
Medusa wandered in the corpse for a moment, suddenly pulled off a lock of hair and stuffed it into Manda's mouth.
What is this going to do? Why does she like to stuff her hair into other people's mouths so much?
"There is the breath of gods here..." Medushan murmured.
In the suffocating stinking, Manda shrugged: "Are you sure the breath of the gods is this smell?"
"This is an epidemic caused by the gods. Take my hair in my mouth and don't spit it out. This can save your life."
"Why can your hair save my life? Didn't your hair run out of it in the battle?"
"Why do you have so many questions? I have kept some of my hair, and the hair will grow longer and more. My hair can cure diseases and resist plague. Is there anything else to ask?"
Manda shrugged and said nothing more, Medusa said to herself: "Which god is so vicious?"
Manda knew that this was Zeus's punishment. He knew that disaster would come to the southeast, but he didn't expect Zeus to do this.
They wandered in the mountain of corpses for a long time and did not see a living person. It was impossible to find clues to their heads if they continued like this.
At a loss, Manda suddenly saw something passing through the corpses.
Medusa also saw it, and a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes.
"It's a mouse!" She arched her body and crawled into the corpse, twisted her arms at an incredible angle, and took out a fat mouse from the ribs of a corpse.
"Eat!" Medusa wiped her saliva and handed the mouse to Manda, "Aren't you hungry? You eat first, leave some for me."
What a good woman, just such a mouse, I have to leave it for myself to eat first.
Manda is indeed hungry, and eating a mouse is not difficult for him, but this mouse has other uses.
Manda put it in the palm of his hand and whispered a few words to it. The mouse twitched his nose and responded.
Medusa said in surprise: "Can the believers of Hermes still talk to the mouse?"
Manda smiled and said, "Aren't you an omniscient banshees?"
"I don't know much about Hermes, even his father Zeus doesn't know much about him. He is a god whom he thought was unpredictable."
Manda can understand Hermes very well. Living around Zeus for many years, it is definitely a wise choice to keep his mystery.
He put down the mouse, which shook its tail and rushed forward.
Manda follows the mouse, and Medusa follows Manda.
"Where are we going with it?" Medusa asked.
“Go to the market.”
“What are you doing at the market?”
"See if anyone sells your head."
Medusa said angrily: "How could I sell my head at the market?"
Manda smiled slightly, "That's a divine head, I guess it should be sold for a good price."
Medusa yelled: "Does Hermes' believers only know about business?"
Under the guidance of the mouse, Manda soon found the market, which was the only place where there were living people in Phalaenopsis Town. Although there were corpses everywhere, there were also several ragged merchants selling food here. Occasionally, weak refugees came forward to ask about the price, but after hearing the price, they all left silently.
Manda tear off a piece of cloth from her robe and wrapped it around Medusa's head like a turban, and he didn't want to cause panic here.
He walked to a merchant's stall and picked up a piece of black bread: "How much does this cost?"
The merchant stretched out two fingers and asked for two silver coins. Bread like this was usually worth two copper coins, but when the disaster came, the price of food would exceed everyone's imagination.
Mandado gave a silver coin and asked in a low voice: "Has anyone sold magical objects here recently?"
"Divine object?" the merchant sneered, "Can that thing be eaten?"
"Maybe it's not a divine thing," Manda changed the statement, "it's a very expensive thing."
The merchant said: "The most expensive thing here is medicinal materials. If you have gold coins, you may be able to buy some."
Manda didn't ask any more questions. He took a bite of the bread, moved his jaw, and handed the bread to Medusa.
"Don't eat too much, my clone can't digest this kind of thing."
He was about to ask the next businessman when he suddenly saw a group of people coming over. Manda quickly hid behind a pile of corpses with Medusa. Medusa chewed the bread and asked in a low voice: "Is it your enemy again?"
"Not an enemy, but a friend."
It was the son Suss, the second son of Grand Duke Bessaliu. He brought a team of soldiers to Phalan Town.
Last night, the young master Suss received Hera's oracle in his dream, saying that someone could give him a way out, and this person will appear in Phalaenopsis Town today.
It is very dangerous to leave the castle. There may be only the Grand Duke's castle in the southeast. Sousse has always believed that it is the blessing of the gods, but his subordinate, the Kitchen God believer, also received an oracle. The reason why Grand Duke's castle has not been infected with the plague is that Zeus prepared more severe punishment for them.
Suss wanted to survive, but he wanted to live with his family, so he ventured to Phalaenopsis Town.
There were only two bodyguards with the young master. Although they were both fifth-level believers and fearless people, their faces turned green as soon as they walked out of the grand duke's castle.
There are too many dead bodies, and there will be at least one corpse within a distance of no more than ten feet (three meters). Every time you walk three or five hundred feet, you will see a pile of corpses, and there are at least hundreds of corpses on each pile of corpses.
When we left Longyin City, the situation became even worse. The roads in many places were blocked by corpses, and many of the corpses had turned into mud under the crushing of chariots and horses.
After the flood, a large number of civilians were homeless and flocked to Longyin City to find Grand Duke Bessaliu to ask for food.
Compared with the other two great masters, Bessaliu was very tolerant and never stingy with refugees.
I didn’t expect that what was waiting for them in Longyin City was not Besaliu, but a terrible plague.
The plague began in the city, because Suss' uncle made a stupid mistake. The plague swept outside the city and spread to the small town around Longyin City, and the infected people reached a peak.
"There should be a small river here," Seus looked around, "Are we going the wrong way?"
Zuglan, a believer in the hunting goddess, said: "Young master, there is the river under our feet, which is already filled with dead bodies."
Suss couldn't help but vomit, and Tinian advised, "Young master, let's go back to the castle."
Seus didn't want to go back because there was no hope in the castle.
Through the river filled with corpses, he came to the farmland full of corpses, through the village full of corpses, and finally came to the town. Walking from the edge of the town to the market, Seus felt a throbbing inside. He seemed to be very close to that person, but he didn't expect that person didn't want to see him.
Manda really doesn't want to see him. To say ruthless words, Manda doesn't want to have any relationship with anyone in the Bessaru family. Don't talk about morality now. Manda does not have the ability to fight against the gods, let alone the other party is the Lord of the Gods.
He took Medusa to lie in the pile of dead bodies, and waited for Seus to walk away before he carefully got up.
Medusa sighed and said, "I don't have many friends, but there are still a few. In our era, we were not so afraid of friends..."
Manda smiled bitterly and said, "It's not fear, it's evasion. This person is a member of Bessaliu's family. Bessaliu's family is the object of Zeus' punishment."
Medusa thought for a long time before she understood what Manda meant: "You mean Zeus brought down this disaster in order to punish his family?"
Manda nodded and said, "Yes."
Medusa walked back into the pile of corpses and whispered: "I can still see him. We will come out when he goes a little further. If he recognizes you, you will pretend not to know me. It's okay if you don't have to pretend. From now on, we will be ruthless..."
