Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 163 – PEOPLE'S ANGER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLAGUE
Albert arrived with Damian and the other soldiers in his territory from the capital after hearing of the black death disaster.
However, what he witnessed when he got there was his own master, the emperor Helios sun Meglovia, who was the ruler of the city, injuring the residents of the crowd who were about to storm into the village from Tarz City and other villages in the vicinity who want to ensure the safety of their families trapped in the village infected with the outbreak.
What's more, can smell the burning corpse in their nose that comes from inside the village. It makes them worry about the safety conditions of their families inside.
Of course, as a man who had been with Helios for a long time, Albert still believed his master despite what appeared before him as inhuman. It was because Albert had long since instilled unconditional trust in Helios.
However, the villagers hurt by Helios this time were villagers from Albert's hometown, especially since managing the area, Albert had been with them for about four years. They have developed a sense of family among them.
Damian whispered something in Albert's ear.
“Master Helios is great. Even in times like these, Mr. Helios does not lose his composure on conscience. I know it's cruel, but it's necessary to deal with a very deadly infectious disease far beyond cholera. In fact, surely Mr. Helios would not think twice to exterminate the villagers if needed.”
“If it were me, I would no longer be able to imagine the death of the people in my hands every time I fall asleep.”
Albert's eyes immediately shook upon hearing Damian's statement.
For him, the villagers in his territory he had considered his own family since they were the first to entrust their fate under Albert's leadership.
But Albert did not say anything, did not refuse, but did not approve Damian's words. Only, began to appear seeds of doubt in his little heart, questioning the humanity of the master. Apparently, the blasphemies of the villagers to Helios so far have been a little in Albert's mind without him knowing.
“Hey, stop! What are you doing in front of His Majesty the Emperor?!”
Instantly the protesters fell silent as soon as they heard the voice of their regional leaders echoing.
“Master Albert, please help us. Our family is inside, but His Majesty the Emperor has absolutely not allowed us to enter.”
While hearing that Albert stared at Helios from a distance along with his ice golems guarding the outer gate.
“Master.”
“Ah, Albert. It's good that you came. It seems that people hear you more than I do. Please help me deal with them as I begin to prepare how to deal with this outbreak.”
“Master, is it not possible for residents to enter to ensure the safety of their families? At least one of the citizens as a representative.”
At Albert's request, Helios again lost his composure.
“Stupid basis! What do you think this is, huh?! This was no longer the black death disease that had already destroyed the ancient empire! Unlike cholera which is only contagious if exposed to droplets sufferers, this can be transmitted through the air directly by small tick bacteria that are invisible to rodents! I just still don't know if I can save them all since the empire isn't ready to prepare the cure!”
“Then what about the fate of the people who are inside it, Master?”
“If we can not find the cure in time, then forced all residents in the village must be eradicated.”
Exactly what Damian said. Helios did not hesitate to wet his hands with the blood of the people in order to save many other lives. But Albert, however he thought, his conscience could not accept such an action. For the first time, Albert hated his master's decision.
“This.... This is too cruel, Master!”
“I also don't intend to do it now. After all there were some ice golems inside who were taking care of them. That's why I'm asking you to calm the people. My ice golems are also some who will keep guard in front of the gate and will not hesitate to kill anyone who wants to enter let alone go out through the gate. So if you don't want a futile death, handle these citizens well, Albert.”
“Master..”.
“I've entrusted this place to you for a while. I need to go somewhere.”
Thus, Helios left the place by handing it over to Albert.

But beyond Albert's knowledge, Damian wickedly whispered a provocative sentence to the citizens without anyone knowing.
Damian said that it was as if Helios would not have acted so cruelly if his victims were from his compatriots.
The citizens immediately felt an immeasurable heartache. Ever since they were betrayed by their own countrymen who framed former Duke Alphonse into committing a heresy sin he never committed, now they have been unjustly treated by their new emperor because they consider them to be the same as their compatriots who have betrayed them.
It also fueled the flames of hatred in the hearts of the citizens of the Lugwein region against their emperor.
But whatever the power, they are weak. Although they were all united though, they would not even be able to defeat even a single ice golem belonging to Helios guarding the village gate that was in number. Misbehaving a little, lost lives will be the result. Their only hope, Albert Ernest Lugwein, always seemed to hide his tail in front of his master.
In the end, it is despair that reaches their hearts.

How'this?
What am I supposed to do?
When I saw the appearance of the witch plague, Angele, four years ago, I had thought that the possibility of the black death disaster would soon be repeated. Therefore, I have prepared a research team to continue the research of the citizens of the Rimuru Kingdom regarding the black death antibiotics that had been stopped due to the invasion of Vlonhard.
Antibiotics are said to have been developed. But all his data and samples were charred to ashes by being burned by the foolish emperor. Forced, we restarted our research from scratch.
However, regarding the heresy calls of the orthodox holy shrines, everything is more chaotic. The professors who played an important role in the antibiotic research have all been killed.
There were few doctors who survived their convictions much longer than the professors who were the cornerstones of the study, who were not directly involved in the research or production of the drug, but because of that they are all just medical assistants or intermediate doctors whose abilities are not as great as those of murdered professors and who do not hold the foundation of antibiotic discovery.
If the data were still there and not burned. Aaaakkkkhhhh! You fucking Emperor Ethanus bastard!!”
No, it's free to be angry at this time.
All I have to do is think clearly.
It was also beyond my estimation that the black death outbreak would soon strike as there was no sign of its appearance before.
It is inevitable about the problem of manaphobia Lilia more urgent at that time, although until now also has not found a cure.
I am really helpless right now.
Do I have to ask the researchers who are working on the black death project?
No. gabe. I just received a report from them that there was no significant development. That means they haven't found the best cure yet.
But who else should I ask for help?
Who is the person on this continent, no, in this world whose medical knowledge is better than mine right now?
Uh.
I remember someone's name.
That was Teacher Zizi. Although He was a herbalist, not a doctor, but precisely because of that surely His knowledge of mushroom breeding was greater than any doctor on the continent.
The research team initially worked on professors who received the execution of heretics from the former sacred temple of the Vlonhard Empire, the professors from the former Kingdom of Rimuru made the drug from a mixture of alopondria mushroom extract and the leaf extract of the sirrah plant.
We have managed to find a compound with an active group called sulfonamides from the leaf extract of the sirrah plant, it's just that we haven't been able to purify it until it's completely clear that it causes nausea and diarrhea every time it's consumed. This is certainly not good for the condition of patients who are fighting for their lives, but this can still be tricked by IV solutions.
The problem is alopondria mushroom extract. We have always failed in finding a compound called penicillin in it. All sorts of things we have done, but we never get a single klu against the conditions of its formation.
If it's Teacher Zizi, I'm sure He has a way out, or even He can find a better alternative method.
