Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 111: Plague

That night, Ridok and Festus threw dozens of kilograms of ground leeches into the food prepared for slaves in various places in the city.

Although it is not scientific at all from a biological point of view that leeches can produce such magical effects, it is still quite magical from a magical point of view.

The reason for feeding it to slaves is, firstly, because it is food for slaves, so it will not be specially tested, and secondly, slaves are the group with the most infections and the highest density of infections.

With them as a fulcrum, the situation will spread outward and will probably affect the entire city soon.

Most slaves only had one meal at noon, so after throwing the leeches, all Ridok had to do was wait.

It can be imagined that for a period of time afterwards, all magic casters in the city who can use healing magic will become extremely busy.

After all, those people have been indulging in the false euphoria brought by the plague. Once they suddenly return to reality, they may not be able to bear it, especially the slaves who have been living a miserable life and have been overworked recently. It is estimated that many of them will die.

But these are all necessary. In order to prevent this strange plague from continuing to expand its impact, sacrificing some people is acceptable.

So Ridok did not go home. Instead, he came to the city gate of Holstein, preparing and waiting for the slaves to eat.

Festus returned to Ridok's residence. According to Festus, he was too old and couldn't stand to stay up all night like this.

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the sun rose. Before they knew it, the slaves finally got their rare rest time of the day and could stop to eat something.

In the past, the precious meal time was the most anticipated and precious time for those hungry and exhausted slaves.

But after the strange plague of optimism, the slaves seemed happy every day and were not so concerned about meal times.

Some slave owners felt that this was a good idea and simply reduced meal times further and reduced food rations for slaves.

According to past experience, the slaves would definitely not agree to this kind of play.

Although they could not do anything, they still tried to find ways to cause trouble for the slave owners, but this time the slaves happily accepted it.

Then other slave owners began to follow suit.

Everything was going smoothly until the day when Ridok drugged her.

After lunch, the infected slaves who were always smiling were the first to show signs of abnormality.

They fell to the ground and began to twitch violently, and all the pains that had been ignored before came directly to them.

Blood flowed from their seven orifices. Unimaginable pain began to erode the nerves of these slaves, and then some unscientific but magical transmission began.

Lidoke, who was waiting at the city gate, saw various groups of people running in panic, and then these people began to fall to the ground one by one, tears streaming down their faces, and feces and urine coming out.

Great, it looks like it worked.

In this way, those in power should realize that this is not a good thing and will take steps to restrict and treat this strange plague.

Just as Lidok was thinking this, he discovered that something seemed wrong with the group of people lying on the ground.

The first one to get up was a slave in shackles. His originally skinny body suddenly swelled up, his originally dark skin turned a dirty green, his eyes rolled up, and his pupils no longer reflected light.

The slave stood there in a daze for a moment, then pounced on a minotaur who had not yet recovered, and bit the minotaur fiercely with his jagged teeth.

The minotaur, who originally had thick skin and flesh, had a piece of flesh torn off by the teeth of such a fragile human slave.

"You untouchable!"

The bitten minotaur woke up from the shock because of the severe pain. He kicked the slave away with a fierce kick, and then looked at his bitten left wrist with lingering fear.

Normally humans would not resist minotaurs, but what happened just now?

Because the Minotaur had just fallen to the ground, he did not notice the transformation of the slave. He only judged that the other party was a slave based on his clothes and shackles.

For a slave to dare to bite himself, and even miraculously tear a piece of flesh from his own body, this was in itself very strange. And the slave looked like some kind of undead.

The slave who was kicked far away quickly climbed up from the ground. Although his entire chest was sunken by the blow, he continued to chew the meat in his mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on his deformed face.

"So this is what beef tastes like. It's delicious. So delicious! It tastes much better than my son and mother's meat."

The slave grunted incoherently and pounced on the minotaur again, while more slaves on the ground stood up.

Their appearances became hideous and ferocious in a short period of time, and many of them even grew various growths on their bodies.

What exactly is going on?

Ridok was stunned. He had no idea what was happening before his eyes.

Although there is a possibility, it is too absurd and Lidok is completely unwilling to believe it.

He was unwilling to believe that this sudden mutation was caused by the leech powder he had fed him. He had conducted several experiments before executing this experiment, and none of them produced the current result.

Damn it, what happened?

Ridok rushed into the crowd, trying to suppress the slaves who had gone crazy.

Although those slaves looked very dangerous, once they fought, Ridok was sure that they were not strong. Relying on the strength of the abnormal people, he could not only deal with them, but also protect those minotaurs while asking what happened.

This is how things would have turned out if the crazy minotaur hadn't appeared.

The minotaurs injured by the slaves also began to transform, some slowly, and some very quickly.

Lidok was afraid of killing people directly, so he held back, which quickly put him in a passive position.

But there are more and more strange and crazy creatures around me.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on!"

Riddock didn't expect an answer, he simply roared, and to his surprise there was actually a response.

“Hahahaha, of course that’s because some special little guys were added to the leeches.”

Festus suddenly appeared in front of Ridok, as if he had always been there. The only difference was that now there were a large number of dirty green monsters with horns around Festus.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

Ridok questioned angrily.

But Festus just smiled and said:

"What? I just want to spread the kindness of the Father. Don't worry, you have also received the gift of the Father."

"What did you say?"

Ridok looked at him in disbelief, and suddenly found that green mucus began to emerge from all seven of his orifices, and there were more small monsters like the ones around Festus inside.

Lidok tried to resist, but he couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

All that remained in my ears was the sound of Festus' laughter.

"You will understand, and you will become one of us. The Father's love is equal, and we will all be one."

In this way the Minotaur Empire was divided between Nurgle and Khorne.
