Chapter 128: The Reflection of the Plague Doctor
"That's hard to say. Last time we encountered saltwater fish in the plains. There might be something else in such a big lake here.
That being said, they couldn't give up because of the risks. Lia was also looking forward to what strange and extraordinary creatures would exist in this huge lake.
But the facts could only disappoint him. When they were riding across the suspension bridge, no huge extraordinary creatures appeared.
The kilometer-long suspension bridge is the so-called suspension bridge. Compared with other bridge structures, the suspension bridge can use less material to cross a longer distance.
This kind of bridge is built Built relatively high, they allow ships to pass underneath. When building the bridge, there is no need to build temporary piers in the center of the bridge, so the suspension bridge can be built on deeper or faster water.
Its main body is dark brown, and dozens of long cables on both sides are responsible for the consolidation of the bridge body. On rainy days, the environment seems to be set with a layer of gray filter, and the entire suspension bridge is gradually filled with strange colors.
A layer of mist rose on the lake, and those white ships shuttled through it, honking from time to time. The water birds in the sky hovered in groups, making hoarse sounds and watching everything on the water with sharp eyes.
Riya and Zhan James and the other chose to take the next steam car to cross the bridge. Ria looked around the scenery in the distance. It had become a vast expanse of white, with only the gray shadows of ships passing by from time to time.
If there were no giants in such a place, Ria would feel that it would be a shame for its own atmosphere.
When the vehicle drove to the center of the bridge, James suggested that Ria look forward.
Ria turned around and saw that there was completely white fog in front of him. The fog was so thick that it could almost condense into water. In fact, it was exactly like this. From the young man's perspective, half of the bridge surface had been dyed into another deeper color by the moisture.
The fog was like a monster. The huge mouth swallowed everything, and the entire suspension bridge was like its long tongue, allowing the vehicles coming and going to automatically fall into its gluttonous desire.
Several black shadows of uncertain shapes appeared on the road. Those shadows were like ghosts of the last century. Their bodies appeared and disappeared from time to time. Their eyes were blank, and their heads were completely like the heads of birds. These guys wore robes and walked step by step with an oil lamp emitting a dim yellow light in their hands.
But normal people can't see them. They can even pass through the center of the vehicle, and then their bodies float on the road twenty meters away in a second.
"Guess what these are, Kercha? "
James asked Ria, he seemed to be very interested in Ria's reaction after seeing these figures.
Ria was silent, he stretched out his hand to a black shadow, holding a lit kerosene lamp in his hand.
The black shadow seemed very excited, and rushed over to connect his lamp with the kerosene lamp for a moment, and the flames of the two lamps became brighter.
After doing this, the black shadow bowed to Ria in a friendly manner, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Are these shadows your colleagues?"
"You are right."
James took off his little hat and fanned it a few times: "We can usually turn into mist and dissipate, and then our bodies will become invisible.
But here, for some unspeakable reason, our figures will be manifested and can be seen by things related to the extraordinary. "
After speaking, his figure faded and became that kind of flickering appearance.
"Look, it's fun, right? "
James was very proud, and Leah tried to poke his stomach with his cane, and found that it was really like poking the air and nothing was poked.
"Keep this posture and change back. Can my cane puncture your intestines?"
"Stop your terrible thoughts!"
James asked Leah to take the cane, and then changed back.
"This place is getting closer and closer to the branch of the Secret Keeper, so you can see a lot of plague doctors here. Of course, most of them are not responsible for patients, but have their own special tasks."
"The plague doctors who are responsible for patients have a higher position among the bird-beak doctors, and they don't have to be exploited as laborers every day like them."
Speaking of this, James seemed very proud, but soon, he felt that his current situation was not much better than the so-called laborers.
"If their strength is calculated according to the disordered ones, what is the equivalent of meme?" Leah was very interested in this question.
"Strength is not constant, Kercha, just like a person holding a gun, but with poor skills, he still can't hurt people who use stones, and may even be killed by people who use stones.
But I have to say that all the plague doctors, pay attention, all... are not something you can deal with. "
"The existence of the bird-beaked doctors is quite special, and even I don't know the specific reason. Anyway, we are a group of black angels who worship peace, so can you praise me and write a banner for me?"
"No, give me back my money now."
"Can't you stop talking about the tacky money? How can that kind of thing be compared with those of us who are with the extraordinary?"
"James laughed a few times, fearing that Leah would ask him for money again, and quickly shut up, but soon, he began to worry inexplicably that Leah would run inside to report him, so he simply stuffed a handful of smelly paper into the patient and asked Leah to keep quiet in the branch.
"Can't you take a shower?"
The mask that Riya was wearing had some anti-gas function, but he still smelled the unpleasant smell. He asked Little Shival to spit out a bag, put the money into the bag and wrapped it tightly with a few pieces of white paper, so that he didn't feel so uncomfortable.
Little Shival swallowed the paper ball, and purple poisonous smoke came out of the corner of his mouth.
Riya: "..."
He stuffed the mythical creature back into his body: "The transaction is established. Since you have paid me back, I can not report you this time, but next time-"
"Swish!"
James saw that Riya wanted to say something that would make him have a myocardial infarction again, and he took out a handful of money from the interlayer of his stomach again, and his hands were shaking with heartache.
And at this moment, Little Shival directly drilled out of Riya's flesh and blood and bit James' arm, like a pendant that could not be thrown off.
It seemed that it agreed very much with the proposal to let the plague doctor clean up the sanitation.
"Open your mouth."
"Gu-"
The leisure time just passed by in a hurry.
Soon, the two crossed the Rosalen Bridge and came to the place that was said to be the branch of the Secret Keeper. After getting off the car, the unmanned vehicle drove away by itself, which made Leah feel quite strange.
As for the building in front of them, it didn't look special. The only special thing was that it was located in the administrative district of South Adelin, and it was in a relatively remote corner. If it was further away, it would probably be in the forest in the southeast.
