Chapter 37 The Second Spell
The plague spread very quickly, and it spread to the capital in just a few days.
Even the nobles in Nolan City were diagnosed with the plague. In order to treat a large number of patients, the priests of the Dawn Church became very busy.
The mages in the Grant Royal Mage Tower, who were proficient in healing, went to the streets to help patients.
The nobles were basically strong professionals with strong resistance to the plague. The old and young who occasionally fell ill would receive priority treatment from priests and magicians.
The effect of healing on the plague was very prominent, and vitality could be increased in a short period of time. With increased vitality, resistance could be increased. With antibodies in the body, people can often survive the plague.
Ordinary plagues basically do not threaten nobles.
The safety of civilians is not something that nobles care about at all.
The slave market in the south of the city has been blocked by soldiers because it is the outbreak site of the epidemic.
The population in the slave market has also been transferred to the north of the city.
In order to prevent these people from escaping, the king personally ordered elite soldiers to be sent to guard.
The guard camp is not far from the slave camp built by Richard, about ten kilometers.
This area is a mountainous area, more than 100 kilometers long from east to west and 40 kilometers from north to south.
Except for a few military castles, there are not many people in the mountains, although it is close to the capital.
Fortunately, Richard bought a lot of food in advance, which can feed the slaves for half a month, so there is no worry about food shortage for the time being.
On the third day of isolation, several plague patients appeared in the slave camp, and Richard used minor injury treatment on them.
Minor injury treatment is the second zero-ring spell that Richard has learned.
Three months have passed since October.
For three months, Richard meditated every day and engraved runes in the mental space. Before the goddess' birthday, he finally gained something and learned the second zero-ring magic.

More than three months have passed, and Richard has used killing experience to improve his meditation method and become a high-level magic apprentice.
The mental strength on the attribute panel has increased by 1.3 points, and the experience of various skills has also increased a lot.
Especially the Mad Lion Legion Breathing Method, the experience has increased by about 3000 points, an average of 1000 points per month.
Even without killing experience, it takes about a year and a half to advance to a third-level professional.
Meditation experience increases slowly, less than 700 points added up in three months. In order to upgrade his level, Richard also consumed 1,900 points of killing experience.
Now the killing experience has been reset to zero.
For a long time, killing experience will not be replenished, and Richard can only rely on hard work to improve his strength.
Now Richard is a magic and martial arts double cultivator, a second-level warrior, and a high-level magic apprentice.
But he inherited his father William's talent, and his physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. Although he is a second-level warrior, his strength, physical strength, and agility are better than those of normal third-level warriors.
Richard's uncle Soros is already a fifth-level professional, and according to Richard's estimation, his strength is only about 14 points.
I don't know if it's because of soul fusion or evil spirit possession.
Richard's mental power is very strong. Before he advances to a first-ring magician, his mental power has exceeded 12 points, which is stronger than a second-ring magician.
Now Richard's combat power is equivalent to a third-level high-level knight, and he can fight with ordinary fourth-level professionals.
If you encounter a fourth-level elite professional who is proficient in multiple combat skills, you probably won't be his opponent.
Although the treatment of minor injuries is a zero-ring spell, Richard doubles the mental power he puts in, and the treatment effect is quite good.
The restored vitality is not much different from the first-ring magic used by low-level priests to treat minor injuries.
Each time Richard puts in 2 points of mental power, he can use the minor injury treatment spell five times a day.
The treatment intensity is equivalent to that of a second-level priest.
With the help of Richard, the magician, several slaves with plague in the camp recovered quickly.
The plague did not spread in the slave camp. Richard discussed with his uncle Soros and asked Soros to take half of the mercenaries and escort the slaves away first.
Richard planned to stay and see if he could buy some sick slaves cheaply to increase the population of the territory.
Richard came directly to the slave market camp with his identity seal.
The plague in the camp has spread on a large scale, and the number of slaves suffering from plague has accounted for about one-tenth.
Many guarding soldiers have been infected with the plague.
Because they were blocked in the camp, many slave traders were infected with the plague.
However, almost all slave traders are professionals, with physical fitness far superior to that of ordinary people, very strong resistance, and relatively mild symptoms. Even without treatment, they can basically survive.
However, seeing the situation in the camp getting worse and worse, these slave traders are also very worried.
They want to kill sick slaves to reduce the source of infection, but many of these slaves have families to support.
Slaughtering slaves may cause slave riots, and it may also attract intervention from the church.
Just when the slave traders were in a dilemma, Richard appeared at the gate of the camp.
Because of Richard's noble status, he directly met the garrison captain guarding the camp.
After hearing what Richard said about his intention to buy sick slaves, Captain Harrison did not refuse directly, but asked with some confusion.
"Master Richard purchased a sick slave, so he must do some research on necromancy? To study necromancy, you need to report to the Kingdom Mage Association. Only with the permission of the Mage Association can you conduct plague experiments."
"I am a low-level spellcaster who is good at healing spells. Slaves suffering from the plague are very cheap. As long as they can be cured, it will greatly enrich the population of the territory. I am here just to pick up some bargains. It’s not a plague experiment.”
Seeing that Richard could release healing magic, Harrison made a new request.
"Seven soldiers in my brigade have been infected with the plague, and two of them have died. As long as Master Richard is willing to treat my soldiers, your entry and exit in the camp will not be blocked by anyone.
As for how you talk to the slave merchants after entering, our garrison will not interfere. "
Upon hearing Captain Harrison's request, Richard immediately agreed.
"It just so happens that I can use the healing spell five times a day, and I just healed five soldiers today."
With the support of the garrison, Richard quickly became familiar with every slave merchant in the camp.
The slave merchant was very happy to hear that Richard was going to take away the sick slave.
In today's situation, in order to reduce losses, the slave merchants even let Richard take away the sick slaves' family members for free.
