Due to the serious injuries, Ella was thrown back into the cell in an unconscious state. The prisoners in the cell had never seen anyone come back after being taken out, and they were all shocked. Seeing that Ella was seriously injured, they left a larger space for her and covered her with the only straw mat in the cell.
Ella's body recovered quickly as always. When she opened the straw mat the next day, she saw all the prisoners kneeling in front of her.
"You returned triumphantly from the evil rituals of those pagans and showed miracles twice in a row. Don't hide it. You must be the messenger sent by God to save us!" They begged hoarsely, "Please. Tell us, which god sent you?"
——Being regarded as a messenger of God, Ella thought helplessly.
There are still blood spots on the ground like the snake skin she shed the night before. It really doesn't look like the ability that a human should have. This group of people is in a desperate situation, so it's no wonder they think so.
"I want to be rescued myself." Ella thought secretly in her heart. But she had no intention of discouraging the group of people, so she followed their words and said: "My master is the triple great Hermes."
"Triple Great Hermes" is a term that is only used when talking about alchemy. Those who are simply protected by Hermes will not say this. Ella uses this to hint that she doesn't know magic. But that group of people didn't care about this. As soon as they heard the word "Hermes", they started worshiping there again.
At a small scale, Ella is the King of Sweden and an ally of the King of Knights. At a larger scale, Ella is Baselisa of the Seven Hills Empire. England originally belonged to the territory of the Seven Hills Empire. So Ella was quite calm about accepting the kneeling worship of this group of people. Her mind was no longer here - although she won the duel, judging from Alfred's situation, there would be many more such duels in the future. "Scipio's tactics" are only effective for the first time. If the opponent switches to a slashing weapon next time, she won't be able to stop him. Before that, she must find a way out of trouble as soon as possible.
I don’t know how long the group of people had been worshiping in front. Suddenly, people shouted from below: “Hermes’ messenger, come here and take a look, he can’t stand it any longer!”

Ella retracted her thoughts and followed their hands, only to see another person on the other side of the cell, lying curled up in the corner, moaning in pain from time to time.
"I got sick?"
Ella leaned over and before she could squat down to take a closer look, she discovered that his exposed arms were covered with black and purple spots. There was a "boom" in Ella's head, and she quickly stopped others from approaching - she didn't expect that the Black Death had actually spread from the Alemannic Federation to Britain.
She thought of the swarms of rats in the streets of Winchester.
"He fell ill this morning and was just discovered by us." The group of people asked, "Hermes Messenger, what kind of disease is this?"
Ella saw fear in people's eyes.
The Black Death had been raging in the Alemannic Federation for a long time, and the English must have received more or less news. It's just that they have never seen it with their own eyes, so they can never confirm it.
"It's a severe infectious disease. I happen to have a medicine here. Whether he can recover or not depends on him."
The Black Death has been raging in the Alemannic Federation for a long time and cannot be ignored. Before Ella left for the expedition, she was worried that if someone in the army got sick, it would be too late to allocate sulfonamide from Sweden, so she gave each of her 3,000 men a copy of sulfonamide. She also carried a copy with her, and it came in handy at this time.
Seeing Ella giving the medicine to the patient, the group of people were very grateful and bowed to Ella several times. But Ella was worried: the conditions in this cell could not carry out effective isolation at all, and she only had this amount of medicine on her body. Based on the speed of the spread of the Black Death, a large number of patients will appear here soon. What should we do then?
"What are you doing?"
The voice of an Aztlan soldier suddenly sounded at the door of the cell. People were so frightened that they hid behind Ella and grabbed her clothes and trouser legs. Ella has a relatively slim figure, and it seems quite out of place to stand in front of this large group of people.
The soldier frowned and looked at Ella up and down: "The injury is actually healed. What on earth is going on?"
Before Ella could speak, someone shouted from behind Ella: "This is the messenger of God! He is here to drive away you monsters!"
The soldier glared at the speaker, who immediately shrank his head.
"Tratoani asked me to take you somewhere else," the soldier said. "He thinks you should be locked up with warriors, not slaves."
This is good news for Ella. With Samurai Seki, she might be able to get in touch with Alfred.
But when she was about to follow the soldier, the group of prisoners grabbed her feet tightly. She turned around and saw the group of prisoners looking at her sadly and shouting: "Messengers of Hermes, don't abandon us!"
Ella frowned slightly. She didn't understand, did these people really think she was a messenger from God, or did they just grab a life-saving straw because they were in a desperate situation?
Seeing this, the Aztlan soldier broke in roughly and kicked away the people hugging Ella with his feet: "What kind of messenger is not a messenger? Get out! If you block the way again, I will send you away today." Go and make a sacrifice!”
But the prisoners refused to let Ella go, and their strong will even made Ella consider whether she could call on the prisoners to break out of the city together. She had used a similar method when she was in the island republic, by having Amy pretend to be Apollo's messenger to arouse the morale of the navy.
Many times, success or failure can only be judged at that moment. The soldiers at the door heard the commotion in the cell and ran in hurriedly, and Ella's fanned words almost came to her lips. But she didn't say it in the end - she realized that this group of people had been captured by the Aztlans because they failed to resist. She didn't have any plans to deal with the Aztlan people now. If she fanned rashly, she might just let these people die in vain.
Seeing that Ella still did not move, the group of prisoners gradually lost hope and were pushed away one by one by the Aztlan soldiers. During the jostling, an Azite soldier noticed the patient on the ground. The eye-catching and terrifying black spots made him scream. His screams attracted the attention of other Aztlan soldiers. After seeing the patient's symptoms, their eyes widened one by one.
"This damn New World, why is this strange disease everywhere? Get out of here quickly and go back and report to Tratoani!"
The Aztlan soldiers grabbed Ella and fled from the prison. The guard guarding the door slammed the door shut, and then found many tables and chairs to block the prison door.
