Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 4 Epidemic Doctor Set
After dinner hastily, Lyle put on his college robe, which is considered a medical school uniform.Although it is only densely woven linen, it is Lyle's best clothes anyway. Only when they meet a major ceremony in the college, will they be willing to wear them and report to work. Naturally, the first impression must be good.

After extinguishing the candle on the table and locking the door, Lyle stepped into the night alone.

The sheriff's office is located on the border of Cassandale's central district, five streets away from Lyle's home. The grease in the street lamps may have been added recently, and the dim light supports the night sky, even if you don't need to carry a kerosene lamp. Clear the road.

Portable oil lamps can be described as one of the sheriff's standard equipment. They often have to patrol all the dark corners of the city, relatively chaotic areas, and high-risk areas. Lyle does not have the idea of ​​using public tools for private use. These days, life is not easy. , can save can save.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the residents of Cassandale had fallen asleep, the light in the house had disappeared, and there were only sporadic spots of light in the town.

The sheriff's office light is one of several everlasting exceptions.

The oak door inlaid on the ashlar wall was open, and as Lyle approached, he could vaguely hear voices coming from the office.

The fingers tapped on the door, and the crisp sound was clear and harsh in the lonely night.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Wilt there?"

There are two people in the front hall wearing the same uniform as Ralph, which is much better looking than Ralph.

"I'm Wilt, Jibb Wilt." The man who spoke was about 25 years old, with good features, brown curly short hair, and narrow eyes, looking at Lyle with a certain amount of scrutiny. "You are?"

"I'm a newcomer introduced by Uncle Ralph. This is a letter he wrote, saying that he would give it to you."

Wilt took the letter and glanced at it quickly. After understanding the reason for the matter, there was a bit of teasing in his tone, "Another Mr. Buller?"

I should have thought of it long ago, and Lyle himself has no intention of concealing it. His relationship with Ralph will inevitably be viewed with colored glasses, so Lyle showed the relationship as soon as he came up, so as not to be talked about behind his back in the future.

Obviously Lyle overestimated Ralph's ability to communicate. Wilt's eyes narrowed slightly, like a fox preparing to hunt, and the maliciousness in the laughter was as obvious as flies on carrion.

"Sheriff Ralph said there was a body tonight and my expertise might be used."

"Certainly, Mr. Lelbler, you are very timely."

He greeted the rest, took a bunch of keys from behind the counter, and walked straight to a door leading inside.

"Keep up, Mr. Buller Jr."

They passed through the office area, where more than a dozen tables and chairs were placed. No one was there at the moment, and they might have gone out on patrol.

Willtra opened a tarpaulin, behind which, where a wall was supposed to be, was a small door, made of iron, and the rust on the keyhole indicated that it was not used very often.

With the screeching sound of the key being turned, the iron door was opened, and a stone staircase led to the ground.

"A basement is used to store debris. This exit is not often used. There is also an exit directly connected to the outside of the building. The corpse was also moved from there. This place seems to be a laboratory before. It is cold and dry, and it is quite suitable. ."

"Your job is to investigate the cause of death there. You can do whatever you want. I just hope that when you come out, a report will appear on my desk. As for the experimental equipment you need, sorry, we There's not enough money for hairdos, so just use the waste inside."

"By the way, there is one thing I will explain first. Mr. Buller, our lord director mercifully agreed to Ralph's proposal. As his friend and colleague, I naturally hope that everything goes well, please come on, cloth. Mr. Le."

"I will do my best."

"Well," Wilt yawned, "if you find anything, please let me know at any time, you can start busy." After that, Wilt walked to the original position.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Wilt," Lyle said.

"Tsk, is there anything else?"

"I remember, Ralph mentioned that the inspection process will be followed up and recorded by Mr. Wilt to ensure the smooth progress of the work..."

"I know, that's Ralph's fuss. I have full confidence in Mr. Buller. You can complete the task well. After all, you are a top student in medical school. A layman like me will only get in the way here. It's still Mr. Buller. Come by yourself." After speaking, without giving Lyle another chance to refute, he strode away.

"..." Lyle shivered while dissecting the corpse alone in the dark basement in the middle of the night, but he had no choice, and life had to go on no matter how bad it was.

After lighting the torch on the stone wall, Lyle was finally able to take a good look around his next work environment.A long table stretched across the center, and the body of the hapless man was on it.On the left are a few bookshelves, which are now used as cabinets. Some iron objects are placed on them, broken leather, rusted knives, and some strange objects. The red marks on them always make Lyle have bad associations. Is this? Yes, torture instruments?It's far from being as simple as the basement. It's that scumbag Wilt who doesn't know the situation, or whether he did it on purpose.

The right side is a lot of mess, broken uniforms, cracked saddles, mostly leather, Lyle was lucky to see some medical knives, the brand newness makes people wonder if they are prepared in advance.

That's not enough, Lyle also needs a smock and, hopefully, can find a suitable replacement.

Opposite the long table is a door, perhaps the so-called other exit, which was locked by iron chains, perhaps because of the terrain, and several floor-to-ceiling windows were opened on the other side, and the dark blue starlight poured in.

There was something glowing in the junk pile, it was reflected light, and there was glass in it, and glass products were a luxury these days, such as stained glass windows in churches.

Lyle was a little concerned and walked to that place.

It was a strangely shaped beak mask.

Plague doctor's mask.

The long, pointed mask is stitched in leather, and the light is reflected from the tiny glass lenses.

Not far away, Lyle also found a black coat and leather gloves.

Standard equipment for the Plague Doctor.

What made the plague doctor famous.

There are two main aspects.

Weird beak.

At this time, it is a relatively scientific equipment. The position of the bird’s beak will be filled with herbal plants with fragrance, which is like a gas mask, filtering the air you breathe, and blocking the rotten corpse odor. Medieval doctors believed that “corpse gas” is black Infectious source of death.

Black Death.

Or the plague.A severe infectious disease spread by rats, the deceased often face ashes and bleed from the seven orifices.

In order to prevent the spread of the disease, the plague doctor came into being.

But also because of the strange shape of the plague doctor and the high mortality rate of the Black Death, ignorant people regard the plague doctor as the messenger of death, looking for someone to die.

There is also a saying that the Black Death was one of the driving forces behind the development of history.

A terrible plague killed everyone.Make people realize that whether it is a noble king, a pious priest, an elegant noble or a humble commoner, or even a lowly slave, there is no difference in the face of death.

They realized that God had not redeemed them, and the shaking of God led to the establishment of humanistic thought, which can be said to be one of the turning points from superstition to science.

Although he found the clothes of the plague doctor, but Lyle had never heard of the Black Death. Could it be that this world line is wrong?
Theocracy prevails, others are suppressed, and coupled with the holy light that has been witnessed before, it is difficult to say how long it will take for the age of God to end.

Gotta eat now.
