The Iron Guard City was close to the territory of the Land of Frost.
Cheil had already ordered the Silverfrost Fox Clan to provide resources to build a temporary shelter.
The shelter was made up of various tents. Fortunately, it was far away from the freezing climate of the Land of Frost, and the temperature was within the acceptable range for the human body.
Therefore, there was no need to worry about keeping warm in the temporary shelter. Even so, the situation was not optimistic.
Cheil rode his horse and inspected the entire shelter. They were all infected people from the quarantine area of the Iron Guard City. Some of them were residents who had settled down in the Iron Guard City, while the others were citizens of the Frost Kingdom who had come to the city to seek work.
"This is indeed a symptom of the Grey Fog, but... it's a little different."
Cheil looked at the infected people sitting around him. Some of them looked sluggish, while others looked at Cheil with fear.
"Different? Your Majesty... If you want to study the illness, we have a special alchemy workshop. "
A person in charge of the Silverfrost Fox Clan followed behind Cheil, trembling with fear. He was afraid because this was the plague area! Even though he was sitting on the horse and breathing the same air as these people, he had a feeling that he was going to be infected.
If he had a choice, he would definitely not come to this godforsaken place, but he had to obey the king's order.
"Are you afraid?" Cheil turned around and glanced at the person in charge of the Silverfrost Fox Clan.
"I'm not afraid. Your Majesty, you also need to pay attention to your own safety. It's said that the plague in the Iron Guard City is very severe... Those infected will die within a week, and some will even turn into monsters."
As he was speaking, three civilians suddenly rushed out. He immediately pulled the reins in his hands in fear, and the horse neighed in fear.
"Go away! All of you, go away! Don't come any closer! Otherwise... "He put his hand on the sword at his waist, and the guards behind him immediately drew their swords.
"Stop, Sir Arnak."
Cheil's cold voice rang in his ears.
"But... Your Majesty."
He stared closely at the three commoners. The skin on their cheeks had several signs of festering.
"Do you want to disobey my orders?"
Cheil's prestige in the Land of Frost came into play at this moment. Although the knight wanted to turn around and run, he still sheathed his sword.
Cheil dismounted her horse and approached the three civilians under the horrified gaze of her followers.
They seemed to be a family of three. The father and mother were with their daughter. The father's condition looked a little strange. His arms were constantly shaking.
"Great Monarch, please …"
His mother was the first to kneel on the ground, ready to beg something from Cheil, but Cheil also half-knelt in front of her.
"Your Majesty, please stay away from that dangerous infected person!"
When the knight saw that Cheil was about to reach out his hand to caress the festering cheek of the commoner, he couldn't help but scream in horror.
"Don't move."
A leaf of the World Tree appeared in Cheil's hand. Under the fearful gaze of the woman, the leaf of the World Tree gently stuck to the festering skin of the woman's face.
The contact between the leaf and her face lasted for more than ten seconds. When Cheil retracted the leaf of the World Tree, it was still as good as before.
"So that's how it is?" Cheil looked at the leaf in her hand. At this moment, the man behind the woman suddenly lost control. He let out a terrifying roar and pounced on Cheil.
Cheil was already prepared. The moment her fingertips touched the ground, a cold aura began to spread with her as the center. The next moment, the man was frozen into an ice sculpture.
"Don't worry, I didn't kill her … Relax."
Cheil paused for a moment because she really didn't know how to comfort the man. Suddenly, Cheil thought of something. The interface of the Magic Net appeared in front of the woman and the boy.
In the Magic Net interface, an owl used its wings to give a thumbs up with the words' All done! 'beside it.
"Mother! That's a waving owl! " The boy's fear was washed away by the adorable cartoon image. The mother hugged the boy and cried bitterly.
"Sir, come here," Shay ordered the knight after he was done.
"Your Majesty … This …"
It was already his limit to come to this shelter, let alone come into close contact with the infected people.
However, the horrifying expression on Cheil's face made him understand that the consequences of disobeying the order would be very miserable.
The man slowly walked in front of Cheil with extremely awkward steps. Every step he took seemed to bring him closer to hell.
"What are you afraid of? Their sickness isn't contagious. "Cheil looked at the leaf in his hand again to confirm this point.
"It's not contagious? But a third of the residents in Ironguard City are showing the symptoms. "
This knight had escaped from Ironguard City, so he had no doubts about the plague.
"I know, but at least the source of the infection isn't these innocent civilians."
Cheil had already dealt with two cases of diseases caused by Grey Fog. The first was the incident with the Frostwolf Clan's mine, and the second was the incident with the Frostdeer Clan's prisoners imprisoned in the dungeon.
"Grey Fog isn't contagious, and it only affects people's minds. The damage to the body is very small." Cheil glanced at the frozen man. His expression seemed to have lost his mind.
"What do you mean?"
"The real source of the infection is something else. What's causing their skin to fester is some kind of medicine, or some kind of creature." This was what Cheil could deduce. "Most of the people infected in Ironguard City are my people. Someone is secretly poisoning the people of the Land of Frost and spreading it as a plague."
"What's the benefit of doing this?"
The knight was still a little unwilling to believe Cheil's analysis.
"Hatred." Cheil looked at the faraway Ironguard City. The smoke of something being burned rose into the sky.
She was no longer the naive little girl she was when she first took office. Cheil knew that it was very easy to make someone hostile to another person.
"Someone wants to incite the people of other countries to … hate the people of the Land of Frost, and it's already working."
At this point, Cheil dispelled the freezing magic on the man. He lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
"Pass down my orders. Thoroughly investigate the nearby rivers and drinking water sources to see if there are any signs of poisoning. Also, investigate the source of the food! Also, let the healers come in and check their symptoms. If anyone dares to disobey … tell me their name. "
After Cheil finished speaking, he sat back on his warhorse. At the same time, Cheil opened his magic net interface.
"I know you're online, reply me quickly."
