Lord of the Oasis

In the next month, Kant followed Adonis or Crorizi to conduct surveys, and sometimes went to the sites where the troops were being repaired to help supervise the work.

The messenger will bring new information about the main city from Dehrim every other week, traveling between the two cities.

As the deadline for the scheduled return journey approaches: Kant's mission to Durandal is also tending to be successfully completed.

After avoiding the storm period in the desert, Kant officially embarked on his return journey at noon one day with a pile of materials he had collected personally.

"Lord, be careful on the road." Croriz said.

"Okay, I'll leave the matter of Durandal to you." Kant got on the camel and said to Croretz and Adonis as they walked out of the city gate to see them off.

"We will definitely complete Durandal's project as you requested, Lord." Yadunis said.

"Well, goodbye." Kant nodded happily and replied.

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers leading the team at the front began to move forward on their camels.

Under the watch of Adonis, Croriz and his party, Kant's team left the city gate and disappeared into a barren desert.

It takes about a week to get from Durandal to the main city of Dehrim.

When Kant was under the blazing sun, he felt that his sweat was soaking through the innermost layer of clothes. I couldn't help but think: Maybe a shortcut should be built between the two cities. Such a trek would be too tiring for the workers who need to travel between the two places.

"How long will it take to get to Dehreim?" During dinner time, Kant casually asked the waiter who brought the dishes.

"According to the discussion of the guards, we should be able to arrive before dark the day after tomorrow." the attendant replied cautiously.

"Okay, I understand." Kant nodded and motioned for him to step back.

After the meal, Kant walked out of the camp and took a walk outside. After hearing the news that someone fainted after dinner tonight. He immediately walked to the captain of the guard and asked, "I heard that a soldier fainted today. Is it because of heatstroke?"

"Reporting to the lord, the soldier did faint due to heatstroke." The captain of the guard reported.

"Except for the one with heatstroke,

Are other soldiers feeling unwell? asked Kant.

"Only one person fainted. When receiving dinner today, two soldiers called in sick. It seems that they were also unwell due to the hot weather." The captain of the guard said.

"Where is the medical team we are accompanying this time?" Kant thought of something and asked.

"After receiving the news, the medical soldiers have gone to take care of these three people." said the captain of the guard.

After listening to the captain of the guard, Kant felt relieved for the time being.

"Take me to see it." Kant ordered.

The captain of the guard followed the order and took Kant to the tent where the heatstroke soldiers were housed.

Kant saw three soldiers lying on recliners, each with two medical soldiers examining and treating them.

When the leader of the medical team saw Kant coming, he quickly stood up from the seat beside him, walked to Kant and saluted: "Lord."

"Well." Kant continued to look around the room and asked, "How are these soldiers doing?"

"The other two are fine. After taking a dose of medicine, their body temperature gradually returned to normal levels." The medical captain said: "The soldier who fainted is in some trouble, and his consciousness is still not very clear. .The drugs also failed to have any obvious effect.”

"Is the effect of heat stroke so serious?" Kant asked doubtfully: "You must do your best to treat him. And pay attention to his condition at all times. Well... just in case, the other two soldiers who have eliminated the danger have arranged Rest in other tents."

It should be impossible for heatstroke to cause such serious subsequent reactions. Kant had already made up his mind. Although he didn't know why, the soldier in front of him obviously had other illnesses that made him look like this. .

If it is an old physical illness, the situation may undergo new changes at any time.

You have to pay attention and observe.

After Kant gave careful instructions, he returned to his camp.

It was already quite late, and it was almost time to rest.

Kant extinguished the candlestick in front of the bed and slept in his clothes.

"Lord!! Lord!!!" Someone shouted loudly outside the camp in the early morning.

Kant was woken up drowsily, his mind in confusion.

When the person outside opened the door and walked in, Kant was about to put on his coat neatly.

Being woken up at such an early hour, Kant still felt a small amount of anger in his heart.

But when he saw that the person coming was the captain of the medical corps, Kant began to feel uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Kant asked calmly.

"Soldier, something strange happened to me." The captain of the medical corps responded breathlessly.

When Kant heard these words, a chill rushed up from the soles of his feet to his heart.

What he was most worried about happened.

After putting on his boots, Kant immediately ran to the camp he had visited last night.

Two medical soldiers stood outside the camp. After seeing Kant, they immediately stopped him and said, "Lord, the soldiers may have been infected with the plague. You can't go in now."

"No, I want to go in and take a look." Kant replied firmly.

"Yeah." The two soldiers looked at each other, seeming a little embarrassed. Then one of the medical soldiers took off the closed medical suit he was wearing and handed it to Kant: "Then please, Lord, you must wear this."

Kant quickly took it from the medical soldier's hand, put it on quickly, opened the door curtain and walked in.

There are several medical soldiers busy in the camp.

Everyone set up an isolation curtain near the hospital bed for the soldiers who were infected with the plague.

Despite this, everyone working in the camp still wore the same overalls as Kant.

Not long after Kant entered the camp, the medical captain also hurriedly came over wearing work clothes. Follow Kant.

"When was it discovered that the soldiers were infected with the plague?" Kant asked.

"Before dawn today," the captain of the medical team replied.

After Kant learned the specific time, he nodded and walked towards the soldier's position.

"Lord." The captain of the medical team stopped briefly.

"It's okay." Kant waved his hand.

He opened the curtain around the hospital bed and walked in. He saw the soldier still unconscious lying on the hospital bed: the soldier's exposed skin was covered with red rashes, as if he had some bad skin disease. Even though Kant's whole body was wrapped in work clothes, he still smelled a stench at the tip of his nose.
