This morning, Locke heard some noises before he entered the hall. As soon as he came in, he saw that Kotter and the others were discussing anxiously.

“What happened?”

The moment Locke saw the expressions on their faces, he knew something must be wrong.

Seeing Locke come in, the discussion in the hall stopped. With a long face, Kotter explained, “Master Locke, there is a pestilence among the exiles. More than 10 residents of Lister have been infected.”

“Pestilence?”

Locke was stunned. Whether it was on the earth in the previous life or Icacia Continent, the pestilence was synonymous with “disaster”.

Kotter nodded seriously.

“Where is Asclepius?”

With his eyes flickering, Locke asked in a deep voice. With the help of Asclepius, the god of medicine, Locke was not too panicked in his mind.

“Mr. Asclepius has gone to check the condition of the infected people. He told us to ban the flow of people and take isolation measures before he found out the cause of the disease.”

Kerton replied from the side.

“Although Mr. Asclepius has superb medical skills, he is not a healer after all. Only a healer can solve this kind of easily infected large-scale pestilence. There is a level-1 healer in Bone City, but it is said that he is very arrogant. I’m afraid it will cost a lot of money to invite him here.”

Kotter sighed in a low voice, and his face was full of worry. Although physicians could also cure patients, they were only for ordinary people. Practitioners got injured and then often needed a healer who was stronger than a physician.

“You don’t have to be so pessimistic. We should believe Asclepius.”

Locke comforted them with a smile. Then he turned to Kotter and said, “You can make arrangements according to the order of Asclepius first.”

“Ding~ Release the system task.”

“Help the god of medicine, Asclepius, to stop the spread of the pestilence in the territory and treat the sick residents in the territory. Rewards: it will be given according to the degree of completion of the task.”

Locke heard the voice of the system, which only he could hear. Since there was a system task, he had to do a better job.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to Kotter, “Uncle Kotter, you go to comfort residents first. I’ll see the situation on Asclepius’s side.”

“Master Locke, just in case, you’d better put on the shield.”

Kotter handed a piece of gauze in the shape of a mask to him.

Locke took the shield and found that it could cover totally his mouth and nose. It should be a simple version of the mask in his previous life. Because of the psychological shadow of the Black Death in his previous life, he still put the shield on his face.

In fact, the pestilence was not threatening to practitioners. Whether it was the magic element or fighting spirit, they both had the function of body protection, so Locke was not worried about his life. But even so, for ordinary people, a pestilence was absolutely a catastrophe.

Soon, Locke found Asclepius.

Under the command of Asclepius, all kinds of measures were completed quickly in Lister. A corresponding isolation area had been built in the morning, and the faces of the people who came to participate in the guard also wore shields.

Locke walked into the isolation area and saw an infected person covered with two layers of quilts, but his body was still trembling coldly. A large amount of black blood had appeared on the back of another infected person’s neck, and several other infected people were coughing loudly as if they were coughing out their livers.

Asclepius was checking up a coughing patient. He was still dressed normally without any protective measures. After all, he was the god of medicine. Even if he lost his power, the pestilence could not threaten him.

After the check-up, Locke walked out of the shed with Asclepius.

“Locke, I’m afraid the pestilence will be terrible.”

After walking out of the shed, Asclepius rubbed his temples and said slowly, “Judging from their symptoms, the pestilence this time should be ‘Black Death’.”

Black Death?

This disease could directly kill one-third of Europeans in medieval Europe. This disease also had a name—plague. This powerful infectious disease spread by rodents and fleas had killed tens of thousands of lives even in Icacia Continent which owned the extraordinary power.

“If my power is still there, I can end the pestilence in a blink of an eye, so it’s indeed a little troublesome now. But you don’t have to worry, because Victory Temple of Athena plays useful function, and the symptoms of patients in Lister are very slight.”

“I’ll give you a prescription. If you buy the medicinal materials according to the content, it should be able to cure this disease.”

Asclepius gave Locke a prescription full of medicinal materials.

“Okay, I will arrange for someone to buy these medicinal materials as soon as possible.”

Locke nodded. After taking the prescription, he didn’t waste his time and went to find Kotter. He should first solve the pestilence in the territory and then think about the root cause.

“Black Death!”

Hearing the reason for the pestilence from Locke, Kotter’s face suddenly changed, and so did Kerton and the others.

Trying to suppress the shock in his heart, Kotter said to Locke with a surprisingly serious face, “Master Locke, I suggest that the first thing now is to take isolation measures to prevent Black Death from spreading.”

“I agree with Kotter. It’s beyond our ability. We’d better send for a healer to deal with it.”

Kerton nodded aside.

Looking at the serious expressions on their faces, Locke shook his head and explained, “Asclepius has found a way to solve the pestilence.”

Then he handed the prescription to Kotter and said, “The medicinal materials on it can cure Black Death. You take someone to buy them now.”

How could Mr. Asclepius cure Black Death?

Kotter and the others were stunned for a moment and couldn’t react at once. Although the medical skills of Mr. Asclepius were indeed superb, it was a bit too exaggerated to treat the pestilence like Black Death!

They took the prescription with doubt and saw dozens of medical materials they didn’t know on it.

Perhaps Asclepius could really solve this disaster. Looking at the densely packed names of medicinal materials, Kotter and the others suddenly had this idea in their hearts.

“Master Locke, we will complete the task you gave us perfectly!”

Taking a deep breath, Kotter nodded solemnly.

At such a critical moment, Kotter didn’t waste any time. He immediately set out to buy medicinal materials in the Bone City.

The order of Asclepius was like a sharp arrow, accurate and fast, directly stabbing the vital parts of the pestilence. There was no new patient in a day.
