Chapter 16 le sing?(7)

"Calorin? How could it be Carolin?"

Ella knew very clearly that the source of the Black Death was mice. If it were to be blamed on humans, it was caused by Ipolita. Ipolita was a descendant of the Caesar clan, and it would never be Caroling.

"Not long ago, the consul of the Almani Federation ordered people to come to nearby villages to collect health taxes..."

"Health tax?" Ella interrupted the old man's reply, "What is a health tax?"

"It is a new decree of the consul. All those who have not suffered from the Black Death must pay taxes for it. Many people are dissatisfied with this, but because the tax rate itself is not very high, some villages still pay it honestly... But, but!"

The two old men were excited:

"Any village that has paid this tax will be counted as one, and all the Black Death disease broke out! The village that has delayed the tax has not been paid is safe! Why is this? We are just poor people and are not fools. Isn't this obvious? It's because even those of us who have paid the health tax will not affect the tax collected! That Caroling is a wizard! Where the Black Death is outbreak is completely under his control! If we don't overthrow him, all of us will die sooner or later under the Black Death!"

Although the Count of Ile de France and their group were still trapped in the trap, they could hear the conversation on the ground clearly. Princess Navarra looked at the Count of Ile de France in surprise: "Calorin, this health tax..."

According to the old man's account, this health tax was collected recently. But even Princess Navarra knew that in the past few months, the Count of the Isle-October of France and his group had traveled from Navarra to Brittany. They were not in the Palace of Versailles, and they would never order taxation!

"It's Mary." The Count of Ile-de-France replied, "I asked her to make a few false decrees that could not be enforced from time to time to create the illusion of my presence in Versailles. Only she has the opportunity to collect taxes in my name."

——With that being said, it was a bit too coincidental that the Black Death broke out in several villages that paid the tax.

Ella above the trap could not help but refute the remarks of the rioters: "What are you doing in your mind? If it is for tax collection, shouldn't the Black Death disease break out after paying the tax in every village? Now many villages are delaying and not paying it, and the Black Death disease has already broken out. In this way, who will still pay taxes in the remaining villages? Is your consul a pig's brain?"

"This..." the two old men were speechless for a moment.

"Where is your head?" Ella asked, "Where is your large force? How many people are there?"

"It's not far away, less than a day. We don't know how many people there are, because the number of people has been increasing... Nearby villages, whether they have had the Black Death or have not had the Black Death, all brought their own food and gathered together to kill Caroling..."

"The Black Death and the Black Death who broke out gathered together? And the whole village gathered together? There are even many villages rushing in that direction? Isn't this completely accelerating the spread of the Black Death?" Ella was so angry that she stamped her feet, "Take us over immediately, immediately!"

"Your Majesty, it shouldn't be 'just'." Amy said, "If you enter the epidemic area, we must take good protection."

"Did we bring supplies?"

"Not here, but Movara Ni is prepared. It will take less than a few days to ask Sivaton to send Movara Ni to send the things over.

"In a few days, I don't know what the Black Death has spread, so it's too late!"

"You have to wait too long. Your Majesty must not just enter the epidemic area like this." Amy refused to give in. "And even if you want to treat the patient, you had to use sulfonamide."

Ella had to compromise.

The supplies will be delivered in a few days, including clothes, masks, and boxes of sulfonamide. Wear a black and waterproof jacket, wear a mask in the shape of a white beak, stuff some breathable filling into the beak, and then bring a cane for long distance to clear the clothes and check the patient's physical condition. The whole outfit is considered to be worn.

Ella, Amy and the Aztland warriors were all wearing such clothes. The Count of Ile de France and his group were also taken together, so the same outfit was given to them one by one.

"Are you sure you want to dress like this to meet those chaotic people?" Before leaving, the Count of Ile-de-France grabbed the white bird-mouthed mask and confirmed to Ella.

Ella gave him a blank look: "Why, I've been captured, and I still think my clothes are not good-looking? Shut up and put them on honestly!"

So the Earl of France obediently closed his mouth and silently put on the whole outfit.

The two old men were leading the way tremblingly, and from time to time they turned around and glanced at Ella and others in fear - a group of men in black wearing white bird-beaked masks walking along the road, which was somewhat scary.

The news that the Swedish king of the Pirate Kingdom was coming to visit was sent to the group of rioters in advance, so Ella was not hindered when entering the camp. However, the rioters on both sides stared at Ella and her group with nervous expressions, as if facing a great enemy.

In the distance, children cried one after another.

"Are they overreacting?" Ella turned her head and looked at Amy through the red glass lenses on her mask. "Don't we look like the messengers of friendship?"

"Not at all." Amy looked at Ella through the green glass lenses on her mask and commented, "It's a bit like a death-seeking god or a crow who comes to eat the corpse."

"In the Federation of Almany, this outfit is generally regarded as the embodiment of a plague." The Earl of Ile-de-France explained later, "Most villages will refuse people dressed like this, and some villages will even arrest people dressed like this and send them to the stolen rack."

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Because I'm just a prisoner, and you shut me up."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! After you go back, just wait and continue eating grass!"

Ella was furious, the rioters around her were even more nervous, and the children in the distance were crying louder.

At this moment, a sound sounded miserably from a distance:

"Help - Help Lu - No one comes to save him, Ravi will die young! Wuwuwu, Ravi is very thin, even if I skewed me like this, it will not be delicious. Please put me on, I will treat you to a real barbecue... although it may take credit..."

"Ravi's voice? Didn't she stay at Versailles and be with Mary?"

Despite the obstacles of the rioters, Ella walked straight towards the direction where the sound came. But she saw a tall stolen rack in the camp, where Ravi was tied to it, and several rioters were laying hay to the fire.

"Wuwuwu, can you let me go? Alu, I am a very powerful alchemist, and I still have a lot of knowledge to study. If I burn me to death, it will be a great and great loss to the academic community! Wuwuwu, help Alu——"
