Chapter 60 Once Turned Over for Clouds and Rain

The Holy See righteously rejected the unreasonable request of the Fug family, and solemnly said that the Fug family had a suspicious relationship with the evil witches on the top of Brocken, and there was a major suspicion of hiding witches, which the Holy See would conduct an in-depth investigation.

Of course, the in-depth investigation is just to support your face.

The Fuge family is not a good soft pestle.

However, in the view of the Holy See, even if you don't agree to the requirements of the Fuge family, the Fuge family can't do anything to themselves. Even if the Fuge family is powerful in the secular world, it is just a rich layman. Now the Holy See is unwilling to entangle with the Fuge family because it is too busy with itself and does not want to make trouble. I'm afraid of this rich man. I'm really going to get angry. It's just a minute to organize a crusader in the name of God and destroy Augsburg.

And the development of the facts is indeed as expected by the Holy See. After the requirements were not met, the Fuge family stopped discussing loans with the Holy See at best, and there was no other action.

The witch hunt continues under the control of the Holy See. Although Martin Luther's Protestantism shouted, the voice was too weak to shake the status of the Holy See at all.

However, some small things happened in the dark.

I don't know when and from where came a saying that cats are accomplices of witches. Evil witches use cats to sneak into thousands of households and cast spells on their chosen target.

Some sayings with a nose and eyes spread strangely from the beginning.

The most merciful nobleman's house in a town turned into a living corpse overnight, and before that, many people in the town saw a strange black cat jumping into the nobleman's house;

A village lost a baby one after another. The villagers guarded it all night, but they saw a flower cat jumping into someone's house and taking the baby away and giving it to the witch hidden in the forest.

This statement became more and more widely spread, and eventually led to a strange change in the tide of witch hunting.

Almost the whole of Europe has begun to kill cats.

In Switzerland, people poke cloth bags filled with cats with sharp blades until they poked the cat to death.

In Copenhagen, in order to listen to the mourning of the cat's death, people threw the cat from the high bell tower.

Soon, even the royal families of various countries joined in, and even regarded this behavior as a sacred ceremony.

When Queen Elizabeth I of England held the coronation, the screams of boxes of cats in the fire accompanied the priest's loud prayer.

In just two or three years, cats in Europe have almost been killed.

The cat is dead and the mouse is happy.

There is a flood of rats all over Europe, crossing the streets during the day and gatherings at night, which is simply rampant.

But until now, no one realized that there was a catastrophe that was about to sweep the whole continent.

I don't know from which day, people found that rats began to die. At home, on the street, in the wild, the once rampant mice were corpses everywhere.

At the beginning, this kind of death was still hidden. People only saw the dead bodies of mice during the day, but soon this large-scale death began to occur during the day, so that everyone could see the whole process of the death of mice.

People living in Europe often see such a scene.

A big fat mouse staggered out of the dark corner of the aisle and walked into the street or in the middle of the room. Then the mouse stopped for a moment, as if to stabilize itself, and then stopped to rotate in place. At the same time, it shouted softly, and finally half opened its mouth and spit blood. Fall to the ground.

One or two is nothing, but when ten or hundreds of mice die in groups on the street and in people's rooms, the panic spreads uncontrollably.

At this time, the Holy See stood up and announced that God had mercy on people who had been invaded by mice and brought down miracles to kill all sinful mice to save his people.

God knows why God is so idle that he guest-starred in the cat's work.

However, this statement was still recognized by most people. Until one day, people found that the people around them began to die one after another like mice. Their symptoms were exactly the same. First, they had a fever, coughed, then chest pain, then coughed up blood, and finally vomited blood until they died. Death.

Plague has also broken out in Europe before. People have some knowledge of prevention and began to isolate the ward and take corresponding measures.

According to past experience, some people may die, but it will soon be over.

The Holy See once again stood up and took the opportunity to gain prestige and announced to people that this was a disaster from God. All those who were arrogant, blind, ignorant and did not believe in the Lord would be punished, and said that the believers of the Lord would not be affected. Those who really deserve to be harmed were those who did not believe and evil infidels.

But things didn't go as expected.

The Holy See soon found that they had come up a little early.

More and more people have died, and even many bishops of diocese have been infected and died one after another. What's more, these bishops have profound spells. In the previous outbreak of plague, they relied on spells to protect themselves so that they were not afraid of virus infection, and now spells seem to be ineffective in the face of the disease.

The death storm quickly swept across the European continent. Even if countries have issued lockdown orders, no one can enter or leave the city, and cannot isolate the spread of the disease. It's like an invisible plague messenger riding the wind and electricity, rushing to various places as fast as possible, spilling the disease into every corner where there are living people without omission.

Everyone can fall down and die at any time. There are mountains of corpses piled up on the street, and no one has cleaned them up. They rot there. Cities are like cemeteries, full of disgusting stench. People can no longer see any future. They can only sit in the middle of the dead corpses and wait for death next. The moment is coming.

The whole of Europe is dying.

The major magic forces can only shrink in the face of this violent disease and barely protect themselves.

Even the power system of the Wizards Guild, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has never seen such a fierce plague in any record. They have used all the methods to prove that they are effective in dealing with the plague, from spells to medical skills, but none of them are effective.

Only the wild wizards are slightly grateful that this unprecedented plague has saved them and finally temporarily shifted people's attention from them to this disaster that could destroy the whole European continent.

At this time, three years have passed since the death of Jackber II's only son, no one has linked this doomed disaster to history with the skirmish that took place on the outskirts of Augsburg.
