Chapter 182: The Inescapable Responsibility
Chapter 182: Unescapable Responsibility
"What are you going to do?" Facing the vicious farmers, Chu Tian shouted: "This is Caesar's territory, you are not qualified to arrest people!"
The leading farmers seemed to have not heard Chu Tian say anything, but instead pressed even more. "Everyone, please stay around, don't let him run away!"
Looking at the farmers' appearance, Chu Tian frowned, and his body, who had just wanted to use the invisibility technique, also stopped.
As the top power in the mainland, the Caesars have a good living standard. At least the farmers in these remote mountainous areas can wear clothes that are not too shabby. But what Chu Tian doesn't understand is why these farmers use rags to stuff their nostrils?
It would be fine if they just stuffed their nostrils, but they were dressed tightly in hot weather, wrapping almost every inch of their skin under their clothes.
The farmers had approached Chu Tian. At this time, Chu Tian shouted: "Stop!"
After being the head of state for several years, Master Chu had already had the aura of a superior. When he was angry, the farmers were stunned and did not dare to go any further.
After hesitating for a while, a farmer suddenly shouted: "Look at the clothes he is wearing! Those who wear this kind of clothes must not be big shots, everyone!"
Chu Tian glanced at the worn robe helplessly and thought to himself that he couldn't explain it clearly to these people, so he should run away invisibly.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian raised his hand and prepared to perform the invisibility technique.
"Your Highness!" Suddenly, a one-armed farmer rushed out in the crowd, knelt in front of Chu Tian with a thump, and said in surprise: "The Seventh Griffon Ferry of the Quarry Castle City Defense Forces, retired centurion Zoro will meet His Highness!"
"Do you know me?" Chu Tian gave up his plan to escape and said strangely: "When have you seen me?"
"The last general followed His Highness closely to participate in the Battle of Quarry!" Although he was retired, Zoro still maintained the temperament of a Caesar soldier. "When His Highness pursued Zaplan, I will serve as your air force escort."
"Oh, I remembered it." Chu Tian said as if he was very enlightened. In fact, there were more than one million soldiers gathered in Caishi Castle at that time. How could Chu Tian remember a small centurion? "Haha, you killed many bastards of Reis at that time!"
"Your Highness still remembers me!" Zoro was overjoyed.
Looking around the inexplicable farmer around him, Zoro shouted: "Put down everything in his hand! This is the right prime minister of the empire and the ancient saint worshipped Duke Vladino!"
"Oh my God!" A farmer's pickaxe slipped down, and then everyone lay on the ground. "Hello, your highness, have you eaten the Holy Saint?..."
Zoro said to Chu Tian awkwardly: "Your Highness, they have never seen a nobleman before, and they all have etiquette..."
"It's okay!" The change in the situation made Master Chu find the feeling of the national leader, waved his hand, and put on the most friendly smile. Chu Tian smiled and said, "Hello everyone. Get up!"
"Did you hear it? The right prime minister is talking to me!" A farmer muttered to the person next to him in a low voice.
"Hehe, Your Highness talked to me too..."
"Your Highness, it is so honor for us to visit this village." Zoro hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you... invite you to my house as a guest?"
"Praise the goddess of life! This is great! Let's go!" Chu Tian accepted the invitation without hesitation.
"You... did you agree?" Zoro was flattered. After first calling someone to report to the city lord, he led Chu Tian into the village in the envious eyes of everyone.
Chu Tian walked with a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart: Damn. If it weren't for the damn water spider couple, who just helped their lives and didn't care about eating, then I wouldn't have to go to the farmer's house to cheat me for food...
"Your Highness, are you here for a visit in a very low-end manner?" Zoro asked.
"Inspection? Yes, I'm here to inspect!" Chu Tian said casually: "Zoro, when did you retire? How are you doing now?"
"I retired after being injured in the Battle of Quarry." Zoro gently stroked his broken arm and said sadly: "My left arm was hit by Reth's magic cannon."
As he said that, Zoro smiled. "But after I retired, I was given ten gold coins and a piece of land, which is enough to spend the rest of my life."
Ten gold coins? Chu Tian was secretly smacking his tongue, feeling embarrassed to go to Zoro's house to cheat him for food.
After talking, Chu Tian arrived at Zoro's home, a very ordinary farmhouse yard, but there were neat weapons and armor under the eaves.
The decoration of the room was simple, but it was very neat. Zoro arranged for Chu Tian to sit down in front of a table and walked into the kitchen.
Soon, a few plates of hot meals were brought up, and Zoro felt a little embarrassed and said with a smirk: "Your Highness, this is the only one in my family. And recently, the pigs and beasts in the empire have suffered from strange diseases, so I dare not prepare meat for you."
"It's okay, these are pretty good." Chu Tian was so hungry that he grabbed me and started eating, regardless of what was on the plate. He asked while eating: "What's wrong with the pig beasts in the empire? And why did those villagers catch me just now?"
Zoro sat aside and said, "Not only in our village, but now the western part of the empire is like this! A while ago, all the piglet beasts in the western part of the empire suddenly became sick, and many people who ate piglet beasts became sick. Later, some villagers who had contacted the patients also got this disease, so in order to protect themselves, the villagers did not allow strangers to enter the village."
Could it be a large-scale infectious disease? Chu Tian was stunned and no longer swallowed it. "Where are the sacrificial priests of the empire? Have they not treated it?"
"The priests in the city said that this disease is not cured." Zoro said: "This has happened on the mainland before, and the priests exiled the sick people and monsters to the desert."
Praise the goddess of life! Exile the infectious disease patients to the desert? Chu Tian narrowed his eyes. This practice is simply inhumane.
"Are there any sick pigs and beasts in your village?" Chu Tian stood up.
"Yes!" Zoro's eyes lit up, "Your Highness, are you going to treat yourself?"
"Take me to see!" Chu Tian said.
According to Chu Tian’s temper, if an infectious disease occurred in another country, then he was not interested. However, this infectious disease occurred in Caesar! If Chu Tian didn’t care, a large number of earth monsters and patients would be exiled to the desert, and the exile order would be Chu Tian, the chief palace priest!
Chu Tian couldn't do such a thing as sending the patient to the desert to die, and he didn't want to bear this infamy!
Called Zoro outside, Chu Tian came to the yard where the pigs and patients were isolated. The first thing he saw was a few sluggish pigs and a few black human corpses.
Chu Tian first walked to the front of the human corpses. In addition to being black, these corpses also had a large number of red spots on their bodies.
Damn it! It turned out to be swine fever. Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief. This disease is the most common animal disease. The probability of infecting people is very small, and there is little infection between patients, which has almost no large-scale harm to humans.
However, although there is not much harm, Chu Tian cannot treat it because Chu Tian’s medicine only has two effects, which accelerates the healing of trauma and strengthens the body.
However, these two effects are useless when treating swine fever! Because swine fever comes from viruses in the body! Although beef also has the effect of detoxification, it has no effect on swine fever.
"Your Highness!" Zoro shouted from a distance: "The city lord is bringing people to welcome you."
Immediately afterwards, a guard of hundreds of people appeared in the village.
The city lord respectfully paid homage to Chu Tian and waited for Chu Tian's order.
"Now, how many sick pigs and beasts are there? How many patients are there?" Chu Tian asked.
"There are not many people, only a few dozen, but there are many pigs and beasts." The city lord dared not look up at Chu Tian, and replied with his head down.
"Very good. Patients don't have to be exiled to the desert. Just separate them from ordinary people. In a few days, I will transport a batch of medicine from the imperial capital. As for the pigs and beasts, they will be burned to death with fire. Your Majesty will compensate the villagers' losses." Chu Tian quickly issued an order.
After the city lord took one by one, he suddenly said to Chu Tian: "Your Highness, how could you get here?"
"This is the secret of the empire!" Master Chu replied mysteriously: "Prepare for me. I want to return to the imperial capital immediately!"
The city lord was about to go, while Zoro walked to Chu Tian hesitantly and said, "Your Highness, can I... be your family warrior?"
Chu Tian was stunned and glanced at Zoro's broken arm.
Zoro said anxiously: "Your Highness, although I am disabled, I have not forgotten what I have learned in the Royal Military Academy before!"
"Are you a graduate of the Royal Military Academy?" Chu Tian's interest increased greatly. "Do you know Peppa? He is now the commander of our local guards. He was the first in the Land Warfare Department of the Royal Military Academy back then."
"Page is your escort?" Zoro was overjoyed, "I was the number one in the air combat department back then!"
"Praise the Goddess of Life! From now on, you will be the Flying Warcraft Trainer of the Vladino family."
After pausing, Chu Tian said, "But there are no air battle monsters in my family yet..."
Zoro was stunned, and Chu Tian immediately hung his family badge on him - a portrait of Xiaobai.
The news had been safely transmitted back to the imperial capital, so Chu Tian had to travel all the way back to Pompeii, and he walked very slowly.
However, a few days later, Chu Tian received an emergency edict from Ludi III on the way - to return to the imperial capital as quickly as possible!
Along with the edict, there was also a Zeppelin airship. The officials who passed the edict pulled Chu Tian onto the airship without saying a word and flew back to the imperial capital.
To Chu Tian's surprise, Ludi III actually sent the left prime minister Greming to wait for him outside the city. As soon as he met, Greming said happily: "The Beasts must sign a treaty of never-invasion with the Empire!"
"Haha, good things!" Chu Tian also smiled. The beast tribe in the northern Xuanhe Prairie is a major concern for Caesar. Although they have no masters, they are too many. For many years, the beast tribe has relied on countless low-level warriors to hold down one-third of the Caesar Cavalry and has also dragged down several generations of Caesar Emperors' dream of unifying the continent.
Now that the Beast Clan has signed a treaty with Caesar, it is equivalent to pulling out a sharp sword on Ludi III's back, giving him enough strength to deal with his mortal enemy Reis! This is indeed a good thing, but what does it have to do with Chu Tian?
Greming continued: "But the beast tribe still has one condition, they hope you can go to the Xuanhe Prairie!"
"What am I going to do?" Chu Tianqi said.
"Didn't you deal with some piglet diseases in the western part of the empire? The piglets with the largest number in the beast race also have this disease..." Greming smiled and said, "With your ancient sacrificial techniques, they should be easily cured. By then, there will be no need to station heavy troops in the north of the empire!"
Praise the goddess of life! Chu Tian is stupid. He can cure beasts, but what about the orcs?
Moreover, among the medical skills that Chu Tian has learned, there is only one treatment for swine fever, that is, kill it!
