Chapter 74: Plague Doctor

"In that era, a terrifying plague spread throughout Europe in a devastating manner..."

Time is accelerating, but some classic scenes that are enough to record in history are still displayed in front of the newborn. With the establishment of Hogwarts, the first freshmen successfully used magic for the first time...

But afterwards, the style of painting suddenly changed. On the roads of classic European towns in the 14th century, corpses were everywhere, and countless flies were flying all over the sky, which was very noisy.

People leaned weakly against the wall, their faces were as pale as sickly, their cheeks were sunken, as thin as withered, and they were dying. The sky was gloomy and unsightly, and they were depressed and unknown.

If the scenes of Hogwarts' school establishment represent hope, this scene represents completely opposite despair.

"Black Death." Among the students watching, an older freshman spoke in a deep voice, "No one knows where it comes from, nor how it disappeared. Until now, we can't find its bacterial species. We only know that it caused about 25 million deaths in the fourteenth century...and it may be a kind of plague."

It seems that considering the physical and mental health of these students, the scene did not last long, and soon they moved to Hogwarts.

Yuko's voiceover also appeared simultaneously.

"At that time, Hogwarts students collectively chose to ask for leave from the school, hoping to use the magic knowledge they have learned to help people in Europe fight this plague. The four founders at that time did not agree, because at that time, the magic attainments of those children were still unable to be immune to the erosion of the plague. Staying in the mysterious island isolated from the world was the safest..."

...

"Principal! Although my mother is a wizard, my father is also a Muggle. I have many relatives and friends in the center of the plague. I don't want to lose them, including other classmates. We have the ability and confidence to fight this plague! Please let us go!"

In the hall of the newborn banquet, a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-olds wearing magic robes like them were passionately trying to convince the four magicians sitting on the top.

The red-robed wizard in the lead sighed and said.

"Children, this plague is not an ordinary plague. What kind of secrets are there behind it? Even we have not investigated it clearly..."

"Don't we just watch it!"

The students were a little excited, "I can't even protect the most important person of ours, so what's the use of learning magic?"

The red-robed wizard was silent for a moment, "We will solve it, please believe us, children."

"You told us this way last week. My uncle is already dead in the plague, Principal!"

The student in the lead roared with red eyes, then turned his head and broke out. After looking at each other, the other students followed the man out.

"Weakness is original sin. It's not okay to not have a good understanding of one's own strength. I won't be able to do it like my Strelin."

A thin and short old man of the four said with a grin on his lips.

"Stop talking, Strelin, we must seize the time to study the source and origin of this plague. Even Kama Taj cannot observe anything from the astrological signs. Things are more serious than we imagined." The red-robed wizard said with a heavy expression.

The speech was closed, and the picture fell into darkness again.

...

"Then what, are those seniors staying on the mysterious island like this?" The freshman made such a voice.

"The safest thing on the island, didn't the four founders say that even they felt it was difficult? Even if they ran out, wouldn't they give them a head."

The man seemed to want to refute, but then the picture appeared again, a group of people sitting on a boat, taking advantage of the night to move forward with the waves.

Yuko's voice followed closely.

"The students were unwilling to live in the safe zone. They worked together to create several ships when the four founders were fully studying the antidote and escaped from the mysterious island while the night was shining. When the four founders discovered it, they had already penetrated into the center of the Black Death."

"The clever ones, using their knowledge they learned in Hogwarts, created magical equipment for isolating plagues. They made a silver bird beak mask, which was stuffed with magic herbs to purify the air, while silver could dispel evil spirits."

At this time, the picture changed again. Some strange men wearing black hats on their heads, wearing bird-shaped masks, their eyes protected by transparent glass, white gloves, wooden sticks, and oil-proof cloth appeared in front of everyone.

People who knew about that era exclaimed in an instant after seeing this posture.

"Bird beak doctor!"

This posture is the sign of the Black Death recorded by humans, which is the appearance of the doctors who are on the front line of the plague. The bird beak is officially their symbol.

Yuko's words continue.

"These children wore such clothes and rushed to the front line of the plague. They tried to treat those patients based on what they learned, and some people with medical knowledge gradually joined in.

The reason they designed the mask as a bird's beak is because they believe that this plague may be related to evil spirits, and using this mask can shock the other party.

However, it is unknown whether the evil spirits are shocked. Those patients are shocked. Because the bird's beak masks are very similar to the crows representing death, and because the places where they appear are generally the center of the plague outbreak, they are also recognized as messengers of the god of death in the hearts of some people and are feared by people."

Everyone turned their eyes to the first person to recognize this posture. After seeing the person nodding to show that what Yuko said was correct as historical records, they looked at those people with a little admiration.

When everyone chose to escape the plague, they chose to go against the plague, run to the center of the plague, and directly contact the Black Death patients. They asked themselves that they would never dare to do this, but these people were unmoved and fearless.

When they think of these people as their seniors, a strong sense of pride in their hearts could not help but feel.

The picture is still changing, but this time, it is the initial senior who argued with the principal of Hogwarts, who was lying on a hard bed, dying.

When the freshmen saw this scene, they couldn't help but snatch their hearts and began to worry about this senior who had known him for less than a few minutes.

"The plague is stronger than imagined. Even if they have magic props, some people are still infected. These children gradually began to suffer casualties."

As Yuko's heavy words fell, the senior in front of them widened his eyes, took a sudden breath, and no longer had a rest...

His mouth was slightly opened, his face was pale and thin as withered, and his wide pupils were filled with fear and reluctance for death.

There was no one around him, and he died alone in a corner of the place where the Black Death broke out...

"And then, they were not even over twenty years old..."

"Um~"

Some students covered their mouths, tears rolled in their eyes, while the rest also looked solemn, lowering their heads, paying silence for the senior who had been gone for a long time.
