When Eugen arrived at the Pohe Line, the situation of the Pohe Line was almost at the brink of out of control. On average, dozens of people fell ill every day in the isolation area, and this number was still increasing.

Even the epidemic broke out in Verona, the support point of the isolation area. All soldiers from the frontier area have been mobilized to the isolation area. The city has issued a ban and no one is allowed to leave their houses and implement indiscriminate isolation measures.

All the soldiers who came and went on the streets of the city covered their mouths and noses. Gloves used stretchers to carry bodies and sent them to the cremation area for cremation.

The temperature rises, and these corpses rot very quickly, and will emit a foul odor within one day, and will become a pool of rotten in three days, which is extremely difficult to deal with.

Sometimes the soldiers of the disaster relief army have to use flammable materials such as tincture oil to cremate the bodies on site, but even so, the epidemic still cannot be effectively controlled.

Even the soldiers began to gradually appear among the soldiers, and the panic gradually spread in the army. When the soldiers completely collapsed and began to flee, the Pohe defense line would be destroyed.

Fortunately, Eugen's return greatly increased the morale of the soldiers of the disaster-resistance army. Whether it was the soldiers or the citizens in the city, they had a blind sense of trust in Eugen. They believed that as long as Eugen came back, all problems could be solved.

Even Earl Sartre attaches great importance to Eugen's return. Just two hours after Eugen entered Verona, Eugen's men came to visit and asked Eugen to come over.

Eugen had no reason to refuse, so he followed him.

After entering Count Sartre's castle, he turned left and right all the way, and finally arrived at a room deep in the castle.

The room is transparent on all sides, and the sunlight shines into the room without any obstacles, making the whole room shine brightly.

When he walked into the room, Eugen found that most important figures of the Count Sartre family gathered in this room, including Count Sartre himself, Count Sartre's eldest son, the second son who had been taught by Eugen, and more than a dozen other family members.

Seeing Eugen walk in, Count Sartre came up and held Eugen's hands affectionately. There seemed to be some tears in his eyes, and white light reflected under the light.

Eugen discovered that the old count, who was known for his toughness, had a rare sense of weakness on his body. He was like an old and desperate male lion, with wrinkles on his face piled up together, looking at Eugen with a certain sadness.

"Eugen..." Eugen spoke, his voice so hoarse that he could hardly hear what he was saying.

After calling Eugen's name, Count Sartre was choked and unable to speak. He lowered his head in front of Eugen and pulled Eugen toward the inside of the room.

The faces of the people surrounding the room were all the same sadness. They all looked up at Eugen, then lowered their heads again, and fell into silence, as if mourning and praying.

After a sudden slap in his heart, Eugen suddenly realized that something extremely bad seemed to have happened. Seeing the scene in front of him and the unknown feeling of confusion, Eugen felt like a big stone was blocked in his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Finally, Count Sartre pulled Eugen through everyone and walked to the inside of the crowd.

In the center of the room, there is a stone platform carefully carved from marble. Various reliefs are carved on all sides of the platform, including pictures of the evil people's sufferings, and some devils bewitching the world. If you look closely, you will find that this is a scene depicting Dante's "Divine Comedy".

And on the stone platform, there was a person and a woman lying flat...

She was wearing a gorgeous red long dress, with exquisite and complex patterns embroidered with gold thread on the long dress. The long dress looked a little old, and the overall style was a bit vulgar, which was not in line with the taste of the nobles.

But Eugen recognized this long dress at a glance. The last time he saw it, it was a snowy day in silver. Among the crude rocks and dead trees, a red dress bloomed like a beautiful poppy flower. The red color was so bright and bright, like a ball of flame, through Eugen's pupils, a brand that could never be erased in his heart.

But now, this flame is piled up on a small stone platform like a pile of rags, as if it has lost its temperature and its soul.

The third daughter of the Count, Caterina, looked very petite against the wide long skirt, and was so small that she shrank on the stone platform. Her black hair fell from the side of the stone platform, and she wrinkled together. It can be seen that she was suffering some extremely terrible pain.

In Eugen's impression, Caterina is so heroic. Her beauty is unique and difficult to taste. It is like the flames burning on the flags, the flowers blooming on the Gobi Desert, and the swift flying in the thunderstorm. It is stoic and beautiful.

But now, she could no longer maintain that appearance. She became weak and helpless. Unsightly black marks appeared on the plain white skin near her neck, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks due to a high fever.

This redness reminded Eugen of the sunset I saw that day, and now it is about to dissipate forever.

Katerina seemed to feel Eugen's arrival. She seemed to have used all her strength and tried hard to open her eyes and glance at Eugen.

Just like before, her eyes were still so bright and beautiful. Disease could destroy her body, but it could not take away the light from these eyes.

Looking at Eugen, Caterina slowly held a smile on her lips, as if she had already obtained the greatest satisfaction in her life.

Then, she let out a light breath and closed her eyes forever.

There were sobs in the room, and no one cried loudly, but shed tears in silence, as if worried and disturbed the sleeping soul.

Eugen and Caterina didn't get along much, and the only thing that impressed me the most was that night in the cave, a flame-like woman and a young boy who tried hard to restrain himself.

A tear slowly slid from the corner of Eugen's eyes, slid down along the cheekbones, and finally gathered at the jaw and slowly fell to the ground.

Seeing Caterina's last smile, Ougu realized how important she had in her heart. Before that, Eugen only thought they were nodding friends.

After spending one night together, how deep will the friendship between the two people establish? This is an unsolvable proposition.

It was just about Katerina, but in just one night, it was enough to make her fall in love with someone forever.

This love was so silent and heavy that until the moment before her death, she endured the pain and waited for Eugen to come.

Eugen knew nothing about this, but when he knew it, Yiren had passed away.

At the age of twenty, he had already tasted something called loss...
