Chapter 311 - Librarian
“Hm, carry on…” Lin Li nodded his head as the disaster that had happened then was widely known indeed, and even a foreigner like him had heard people mention it. Half the people had allegedly lost their lives, while the the other half fought to leave the cursed place. The once prosperous Syer Town had been reduced to ruins. Even after 20 years, nobody was willing to step into this place of death.
However, Lin Li had never thought that the Syer Bandits had originally been the militiamen of Syer Town…
“I heard that Vanskore was the first one to discover the spread of the plague…” Duke was a natural at telling stories, and made them feel as if they had gone back to 20 years ago as he pieced the story together.
As Duke recounted what had happened, Lin Li slowly gained a deeper understanding of what had happened during that disaster.
After Vanskore discovered the spreading plague, he notified the head of Syer Town immediately, hoping to find a way to curb the expanding disease. Unfortunately, his warning fell on deaf ears, and the plague was treated like an ordinary illness. Only a few doctors came to conduct an inspection, but nothing happened after that. Vanskore was desperate at that point, but he refused to give up, even going to Roland City to notify the castellan. Sadly, he was only a small leader in the militia, and did not even make it past the gates of the castellan’s mansion before he was stopped by guards.
Then, the tragedy happened.
The plague spread with terrifying speed, taking thousands of lives in less than a week. Fear and desperation clouded Syer Town. Everyone wanted to leave this cursed land, including some who had been infected as well…
