The next night, the Qile people took Cale to the Lower City.

The night was deep, and the slum area was in decline, and the air was filled with unsettling smells, like garbage rotting, or like an insulting plague spreading everywhere.

Caleb was wandering around the Chileren, looking around every few seconds, muttering "Why haven't you come yet?"

Qi Leren had a premonition, and Daisy might not be here.

If she was willing to see Caleb, she wouldn't jump out of the sea that day.

Regarding how Daisy learned to swim, he also specifically asked Caleb. Caleb said that after he became a human, he taught Daisy to swim, and later she swam well.

But Qileren still has questions. Even if Daisy learns to swim, it will not be better than Caleb who has lived in the water since she was a child. How did she get rid of Caleb's search and secretly return to Noah's Ark?

"The smell of plague is everywhere here," Caleb whispered.

"The plague also tastes?" Qi Leren asked him.

Caleb pulled off the mask on his face and sniffed hard: "I have smelled this smell... The remnants from the Canaan continent carried a plague and infected the Qianhe River Basin. At that time, this smell was everywhere in and outside the city."

"Put the mask back." Qi Leren reminded that the mask was provided by him, although he himself did not need it. His body in the dungeon did not have heartbeat or breathing at all, so of course it would not be infected by the plague. Even if there was, his rebirth source would not be banned by the dungeon.

Cale reluctantly put the mask back. He now doesn't trust this strange thing on his face. After all, he used to be a fish living in the sea.

"Is the plague in Noah City very serious now?" Qi Leren asked.

"Fortunately, it mainly spreads in the lower city. Occasionally, there are big people infected, and I have time to find a doctor to treat it." Caleb said, a little depressed, "If you have money, it can always be cured..."

Qileren is not very clear about the medical level in this world, but Gold Workshop clearly shows that it is selling black technology such as "immortality medicine", which shows that the medical level is much better than that of the Middle Ages.

Qi Leren looked at the refugees lying together in groups of three or three in the dirty corner of the street. They exuded a heavy dead aura. This dead aura could be dispelled by the dazzling light of the gold coins, which was easy to do.

But no one cares.

The rats living in the gutter died, the gentlemen and ladies who lived in castles and mansions, who were worried about the midsummer night dance, would only smile tacitly.

Qi Leren always feels that there are too many important clues in this story that he has not discovered yet, such as this Midsummer Night Dance. Is it a simple social dance party? I'm afraid it may not be.

But he has no time to pursue these things now. For him, the most urgent task is to find Ning Zhou first. Even the "realization of your three wishes" required in the mission was not put first by him.

The sound of footsteps came from his ears, and Qi Leren raised his head and looked at the person coming in the distance.

It was an old ragged beggar who walked towards him and Caleb tremblingly, and said, "She asked me to bring you messages: Go back, she won't come."

Cale was disappointed and he didn't give up: "She doesn't come, I'll go find her! Take me to find her!"

The old beggar shook his head: "She will not see you, she has her own mission."

"Mission..." Qi Leren pondered the word.

Daisy, what does this princess in the Thousand Rivers Valley want to do?

Qi Leren analyzed the possibility from a logical point of view. The mission of a princess who lost her country was either to restore the country or to revenge. However, a princess who was wandering in a slum and selling flowers was infected with the plague, which can be said to be difficult for her to protect herself. These two missions were impossible for her to achieve.

This is probably a side plot. Qi Leren thought that Daisy is a relatively important side NPC, but the system did not give any instructions, so he didn't need to spend a limited time on this matter.

Caleb quarreled with the old beggar. He was emotionally excited and unwilling to accept the fact that Daisy refused to see him.

"Cough cough..." During the quarrel, the old beggar suddenly turned dark and coughed violently, and fell to the ground with convulsions.

The refugees in the corner sighed uneasyly, and they stood up and hid farther away.

"He...he...he... seems to be unable to do it." Caleb said in panic.

"Let me see." Qi Leren squatted down and checked the old beggar's condition. The plague had already eroded his health. He was so weak that he could die at any time.

The old beggar grabbed his collar tightly, and his painful expression was a fear of death. Qi Leren had seen such eyes many times. In various tasks, in the relatively stable and peaceful dusk land, in the prison of the courtroom... he always saw such eyes, some players, some indigenous people, and some were just NPCs in the mission.

No one is not afraid of death. He has the same nature as he has the [SL Dafa] and is reborn as he is.

Just think of it as opening an extra branch line, Qi Le people thought.

His hand covered the old beggar's eyes, and the source of rebirth slowly poured out, nourishing the exhausted vitality. Caleb looked at this scene blankly, as if he had witnessed a miracle.

Not long after, the old beggar who had completely recovered his health climbed up from the ground in shock: "How did you...how did you do it? Even her...even the doctors at the Gold Workshop could not cure the plague quickly."

Qi Leren took out his professional acting skills as a charlatan and smiled at him mysteriously: "Is such a miracle worthy of Princess Daisy's meeting me?"

……………………

In the end, only Qi Leren was allowed to see Daisy, and Caleb was driven back. Before leaving, he repeatedly told him to ask Qi Leren to convince Daisy to see him. This little black-skinned mermaid was really infatuated.

On the way to meet Daisy, Qileren inquired about the medical situation in Noah City. It was similar to what he thought. The medical level here was very unbalanced. The top doctors in the Gold Workshop almost "treat all diseases". The doctors that the poor can contact are just a group of witch doctors who only know how to pretend to be a ghost, and some rough doctors who are keen on bloodletting therapy, like butchers more than doctors.

"For example, the infamous bloodletting butcher, Curt. He specializes in free treatment, but only knows amputation and bloodletting, and performs in public. Every time he performs surgery, many people will come to watch. He makes money by collecting tickets." said the old beggar.

Qi Leren: "Can the patient survive?"

The old beggar sneered: "If only the patients died, then his reputation would not be so bad."

Qi Leren was confused: "Who else is dead?"

The old beggar: "Once he performed surgery on a patient who needed an appendix in public. He slashed it and three people died."

Qi Leren:???

What kind of god-level sword technique is this? Even he can't do it!

"He was too cruel when he took the knife, and the blood sprayed into the audience. A person who was watching was scared to death on the spot. He also cut the wrong part and the patient died of illness after the operation. During the operation, Curt also cut the assistant's skin, and the assistant died of infection a few days later." said the old beggar.

Qi Leren: "..."

He suddenly felt that he might be able to be a miracle doctor in this task.

"It's here." said the old beggar.

Qi Leren looked at the dry sewer entrance in front of him and fell into silence.

The entrance to this sewer is a flat pipe with a diameter of more than ten meters. The black passage is filled with a rotten smell, like a giant monster's mouth open. And from this mouth, there is a sarcastic sound, a crying sound, and a sigh.

In the darkness of the sewer, countless pairs of eyes were looking at him, which were hungry, despair, and doubtful eyes.

What he should have thought of was that Noah City was already overcrowded, where could so many refugees infected with the plague live on weekdays? There were only sewers that were unwelcome.

Several refugees sitting on the edge of the sewer saw the old beggar coming with a strange gentleman, and they couldn't help but show a vigilant look. The old beggar turned his head and said to Qi Leren, "I'll go find Daisy, you can wait for her here."

Qi Leren nodded and watched him walk into the mouth of the "troll monster".

It was late at night, but it was very lively near the sewer. In just over a dozen minutes, Qi Leren saw several groups of refugees carrying patients who were almost out of reach into the sewer, as if this was a funeral home.

What's strange is that the group of refugees carrying the patients were all hopeful, neither suffering nor panic. They comforted the patients on the stretcher one after another, and whispered that he would definitely be saved.

Qi Leren couldn't help but take a look.

There was a faint flame at the entrance of the dark sewer in front of him, swaying and floating towards him.

The fire became closer and closer. Qi Leren saw Daisy wearing a black robe and carrying a lamp slowly walking out of the sewer in the fields, like the goddess of lanterns in the dark night.

After not seeing her for a day, she looked even more haggard. The face towel covered most of her face, revealing a pair of haggard eyes, and dark spots spreading around her eyes.

Qi Leren: "You didn't go to treat the disease."

Daisy replied calmly: "My illness cannot be cured."

Qi Leren watched another group of refugees carrying patients rushing to the sewer. The leader of the refugees stopped and walked quickly towards Daisy. Daisy made a stop gesture to him, and the man stopped and returned to the patient. The refugees carrying stretchers lowered the stretchers and sat down near the entrance of the sewer.

They didn't go in, they were waiting for Daisy.

Qi Leren raised his eyebrows, and he immediately understood something.

He was not sure, but he decided to test it.

"Since you can save those infected, why can't you save yourself?" Qi Leren asked.

Daisy's eyes were indifferent to life and death: "I can't save myself."

The patient in the distance coughed violently, and the other person shouted anxiously: "Sir Daisy, he is almost out of reach!"

Daisy walked quickly, the patient on the stretcher was dying, and the refugees carrying him looked at Daisy with hopeful eyes, as if she was the messenger who came to save them.

Daisy leaned down and pulled out a flower from her robe, which was a pure white rose.

The flowers were gently placed on the patient's lips, and the white petals were dyed black in an instant. The terrifying black spread from the petals to the stems, and then on Daisy's hands...

The dark spots crawled from her fingers to her wrists and disappeared into the thick black robe.

The patient who was about to die of breath regained some vitality. He opened his eyes with difficulty, murmured the words of thanks, and fell asleep peacefully.

"Will he survive?" the refugees asked with concern.

Daisy frowned in pain, she took a deep breath, and it took a long time to answer: "Take him to the observation room, and if the situation worsens, let me know."

The refugees lifted the patients on the stretcher and walked into the sewer.

Daisy sat down on the ground, covered her mouth and vomited, as if she wanted to spit out her internal organs, but her stomach was empty and she only spit out dark sewage.

Qi Leren handed her a hand towel. Daisy thanked her in a low voice and wiped the corners of her mouth before she looked at the hand towel carefully.

"I haven't used this silk hand towel in a long time," she said lightly.

This princess of the Qianhe River Basin is now wearing rough black linen and living in sewers with refugees, enduring the torture of plague. The once life of luxury and food no longer exists with the sinking of the Qianhe River Basin.

"If you want to have it, you can easily have it again," said Qileren.

Now that the plague in the city is spreading, not everyone can invite doctors from the Gold Workshop. With her magical ability, she can completely walk out of the sewer and live a comfortable life.
