Negotiations with Wolf Demons 6

While Astart and Rafale were playing with each other, Mirage arrived with Louvout in the deepest building in the village.

"That building is a meeting place. It seems that everything was made with reference to a building called Terra in the east, but since nobody knows the real thing, it is hard to tell how far. It seems that the appearance has not changed so much. ''

"Well, this has a solemn atmosphere."

A huge wooden building that overwhelmed the viewers claimed that its presence was still something. Certainly, Terra must have been a building with a strong eastern religious element, Mirage recalls in a book he had read earlier.

"I never dreamed of using it to isolate the sick."

Louvout laughs and utters words at Mirage. By the time he arrived, Mirage had heard a rough story from Le Voutau, and had a good grasp of the circumstances of the Wolf Demons. The Wolf Demon Village is divided into four parts, north, south, east and west, in the woods, each of which is home to about a hundred villagers. Approximately two months ago, the onset of black skin disease began after the wolf monsters in the eastern village complained of complaints, and the west, south, and north began to appear in rapid succession. As a common feature, after the appearance of black bruises on the skin of the body, it became sick one after another, and all the short people died without exception for a week or at most a month It is. A month ago, more than 40 people died, more than 10% of the villagers a month ago, and at that time more than 100 cases were affected, and less than 70% of the villagers were safe. After the pharmacists tried various methods, no cure was found, and representatives of the villages were talking day and night with the patriarch and Louveau. Two of the most prominent proposals were to ask the Demon King's army, who had been hostile for many years, for help, and to isolate the infected villagers and set them on fire. The fact that pathogens are vulnerable to heat is common knowledge among the wolf demons, and the villages in the north, east and west agreed that if no cure could be found, this was the only way to end the damage. Although he was the patriarch, the sick were gathered at a meetinghouse in the southern village without any help if the representatives of the three villages agreed, but were not put into practice as a result. Was. If the representatives of the villages in favor, the patriarchs, and even the next patriarch candidate, Levtoux, have become ill, losing the essentials of the wolf demons, the future of the race will be destroyed anyway. Would. Although it was unavoidable, it was decided again to descend to the Demon King's army, and an messenger was sent to this day. And while continuing to recruit sick people to the southern villages to prevent the spread of the infection, new cases continue to increase daily, and about 200 people now suffer from the disease. The total number of dead has exceeded one hundred and sixty, and fewer than fifty villagers can be said to be safe. The number of deaths in just two months, forty percent of the villagers, 90 percent infection, and 100 percent mortality within a month of the onset, is just a fatal disease. It was rampant. It would be no wonder that the cornered wolf demons brought in the Mirages in one or eight reckless ways. Also, honestly, reports of infectious diseases showed that the entire forest could be burned out to prevent its spread to the Demon King's army, and that it was evident that it would perish if left alone. He could be upset like Rafal, who knew he had been deceived, and destroyed the village on the spot, but nonetheless nothing but clinging to the slightest possibility.

"I know that isolation is the right answer, but if you don't eliminate the source of the infection, the symptoms won't go away. Even so, Levtow has been working well even though he's been around for three weeks already. Honestly, I'm surprised. "

"My daughter has also started to get sick, so I can't afford to sneak up. My father died this morning despite his onset because of his age, I can't help dying until my daughter is saved.I really want to say something cool as a patriarch, but I'm still honest because I'm for my daughter. I do. "

"... I don't despise. It's cool to be sick for your child, at least I think it's worthy of respect. The method is certainly not praised, The desire to do something until I bet on my life was well communicated. I'm sure he will cure him, his daughter, and the wolf demons. "

Mirage and Levault continued to talk as they did before, as they proceeded down the hallway inside the hall. If you hear that Leuveau has a daughter, Mirage, who lost his father when he was young, will only have more reasons to help. Mirage was deeply determined in her heart that she couldn't make the children feel like their father's life would disappear in front of them, despite the situation being different from her then. . In order not to repeat the same tragedy again, he continues to remain in the organization called the Demon King Army so that he can save at least only within reach.

"OK, at first I thought it was a playful thing, but it was actually a terrible horrible thing, and now it's just a sweet chan. What kind of icy thing does the real face under the mask do? It's so rare that you never even smell it, and who is it? "

"My tribe itself is rare, so the smell is often told by other demons. The face under the mask is a normal man, not particularly unusual."

In addition to the wolf demons, there are many nose-breeding tribes, such as the dog demons and the pig demons, so Mirage makes use of the fact that the genie demons are a minority and deceives them as usual. Fortunately, the devils with rich horns, who frequently fight with humans, do not have a particularly good sense of smell, so it can be said that they are half-smell mixed. There is nothing. Also, since it was a long time ago that the wolf demons migrated from the east, even those who lived in the woods located in the northeastern part of the demonic territory are now worried that their identity will be exposed. Would not be.

"Now this is the room where the sick people are. I asked, masked teacher."

In the meantime, he arrives at the destination, and Louveau staggers and releases the sliding doors in his room. The mask changed from a masked brother to a masked teacher, but I couldn't afford to worry about it, and a terrible sight was delivered to Mirage with a strong smell. The room was certainly large enough to be gathered in the hundreds, but most of it was overflowing with the sickly lay sick people. Those with black bruises all over their skin, necrotic limbs, those who are vomiting on the spot, those who are suffering from high heat and breathing painfully, and those who are already breathless It's just like a hell picture. It seems that about 30 people are nursing, but their limbs also have black bruises, and those who can still afford to move seem to be taking the lead. No, even though they can move, their complexion is bad, and it's obvious that they are also overdoing, probably the young wolf demons at the entrance to the forest.

"... First, let's give priority to those who are serious."

"Then don't go to the back. I'm laying them down in order to make it easier to understand."

Hearing Leuveau's explanation, Mirage goes through the room. The lying wolf demons couldn't afford to worry about other things, but about 60 eyes looked wonderingly. Mirage arrived at the back of the room, but the first ten people who had confirmed her breath had already died, and finally reached a patient with still breath. An elderly man of the wolf demon, believed to be a pharmacist, was sitting beside it, decocting herbs.

"Oh, the pharmacist Ji-san. A man who knew this disease came from the Demon King's army. It was all a disease that was popular in the ancient civilization era, such as black skin disease. Of course. "

Not only the old man of the pharmacist but also the surrounding wolf demons were surprised by Levault's remarks, staring at Mirage with hope and doubtful eyes. Certainly, he was to cooperate with the Demon King's army, but he was too talkative that the Shitenno who came to the negotiations knew the details of the disease. However, no matter how suspicious they are, there is no other way but to cling to it, so they are going to watch it quietly with no extra mouth.

"Hey, Levtou! I can't believe it suddenly ... but if you say, it's right. He said the masked Shitenno and anything that could be done with this old man. Those who are here If it helps, I can give you this life. ''

A black bruise was still floating on the face of the old man smiling. The fact that no other pharmacists can be seen besides this old man probably means that the old man we are talking about is the last survivor. Contacting a sick person as a pharmacist increases the risk of infection, and the risk of becoming a mummy is high if no effective treatment is found.

"First of all, I would like to ask about the onset and symptoms of the disease, and the period until death-"

Mirage exchanges information with the pharmacist, examining the patient's appearance in turn, and checking for actual symptoms. Although I've heard a lot from Le Voutaux, the information from the experts and the actual patient's symptoms are of course important, and they should be very close to Mirage's knowledge of scabs. Check it out. About an hour, after examining the story and appearance of the pharmacists and patients, Mirage concluded.

"I think this is definitely a melancholy. It's probably a cure, and there's no problem creating a silver bullet. If you're serious, give me the medicine you have first, Will be in time if you prepare new medicines in order. ''

The words calmed down in the room, listening to the patients lying on the floor.

"Do you really want to cure your masked brother? Don't you have to worry about it?"

In silence, the first to speak out was a girl near Mirage, who turned her eyes full of black bruises and tears in her eyes.

"Oh, you're fine. You've worked hard until now."

Mirage sits on the floor near the girl and responds gently stroking her head.

"Really ... really ... healing? Will my daughter be fine?"

Leuveau asks Mirage again with a shivering voice, tearing his eyes.

"Yes, it's okay. My daughter, Louveau, and everyone here will be cured."

Saying that, Mirage answers himself again, and the wolf demons, who are supposed to be sick, howl at once. Even though they should have already been sick of speaking, they were full of vitality and couldn't seem to feel sick. Mirage was a little relieved that with this kind of energy he should be able to manage the treatment. In fact, even if the drug is administered, it may already be too late, or the formulation may not be in time. And, in some unlikely, non-similar conditions, the Mirage dared to give them hope to live. There are many examples of sickness recovering from illness, even from a weakened state.

Five days after the arrival of the Mirages, whether they are the effect of Mirage's words or the original strength of the Wolf Demon, the drug-deprived Wolf Demon will continue to improve Will go on.
