It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 479 The Holy See Killer, Viper Arezzo Arrives (Bugfield Leader Adds 1)

[Pit Viper] When Arezzo carried his suitcase and set foot on the boardwalk of Nevis Port, it was already spring.

I haven't been here for nearly ten years, and the appearance of Nevis Port has changed a lot from my memory.Arezzo squinted his eyes facing the sun, and glanced left and right, always feeling that something was missing and something was added, but he couldn't find it eagerly.

He walked slowly among the endless stream of people.After walking through several trestle bridges and crossing several ships that are loading and unloading passengers, I found out where the difference is:
The port area is cleaner.There is less sewage on the ground, and cow dung and horse manure are almost invisible. Of course, there are no gentlemen who stop anywhere and start anywhere... Ha ha.

Instead, there are eye-catching signs everywhere, pointing to some small houses exuding an unknown smell.

Not only is it cleaner, it's also hotter.A wave of heat came head-on, and Arezzo gave way subconsciously. He saw that there was steam in the roadside hut, and two large pots were boiling water.

Soon, a row of shirtless dock workers came over, turned on the faucet under the cauldron, and each filled a bowl of water.

When they were leaning against the water room and carefully blowing the cold water, Arezzo clearly saw that more than one person had a sincere happy smile on their faces.

Emmm...

Public toilets, free boiled water?
Intuition tells Arezzo that these measures can reduce the incidence of plague and make the poor and poor die less—in essence, they can also cultivate the vitality of the city and make the city more vibrant.

And the one who made these things...

That's Gretel Nordmark.He made a special trip this time to assassinate the man.

Arezzo continued on with the flow of people.Walking down the wooden plank road and stepping on the solid ground, within a few steps, I heard the excitement ahead, and the people and horses on both sides shouted at the top of their voices:
"Get vaccinated! Get vaccinated against smallpox! Each person only needs 1 gold coin, once vaccinated, and you will never get it again for life! ——Sir, you are from another place, do you want to get vaccinated again?"

"Oppose universal vaccination! Oppose tax increases! Our legal income should not be plundered endlessly!"

Huh?
interesting.

Universal vaccination?

One gold coin per person?
What is the population of Nevis City?Let me see...is there a million dollars?Among them, there must be at least 900,000 people who can't afford a gold coin poll tax, right?

In other words, 900,000 gold coins will be scraped off from the heads of the remaining rich merchants and nobles...

Ha ha……

Ha ha……

Arezzo frowned, revealing an extremely joyful smile.He followed the flow of people to the vaccination table and asked curiously:
"Can this thing really make people get rid of smallpox again? Is it so effective?"

"Of course, sir!" In front of the vaccination platform, a small man with a clean coat and a white collar raised his head energetically:
"It must be effective! There are papers published in "Magic" and "Arcane"! The research of great magicians is definitely not wrong!"

Hehe...you still watch "Magic" and "Arcane"?Those two periodicals need a gold coin, can you afford it?
Arezzo smiled, but slandered inwardly.He curiously inquired about the vaccination method, left a silver coin, and left.After a few steps, the little man rushed up:

"First, sir!"

The little man's face was immature, flushed by the sea breeze in the port, he was obviously still a teenager.He dodged from left to right, got through the crowd, blocked in front of Arezzo, and looked at him with his chin raised high:
"I'm a student of Lawrence Liberal Studies School! I'm employed by the city hall to vaccinate citizens against smallpox! You don't need to give me a reward!"

Arezzo grinned.He tapped the young man with the chestnut cane in his right hand, and raised the corners of his mouth:
"I'm sorry, young gentleman. Then, this silver coin is my apology. Please use it to study hard!"

He walks away.Walking out of the port area, he casually hails a carriage:
"Take me to... Oak Grove Medical Research Institute? Is that the name? Go around the gate!"

Gretel's hospital has become famous these days, and even a coachman in a port knows its name.The coachman chatted with Arezzo while driving the carriage.Foaming, especially talkative:

"Where do you come from, sir?"

"What are you doing at the Red Cross? - Oh, the place you mentioned has a red cross flag with a white background hanging on the top, which can be seen from a long distance. We call it the Red Cross, so we can recognize it."

"That place is amazing! ——A brother who was driving with us heard from a guest that the magician in the Red Cross replaced an old man with a cow's lungs, and he survived!"

"Smallpox vaccine? That must be true. How can something that is published in "Arcane" not be true?"

"Vaccination for the whole population?—a good thing! Don't you know, sir, that even if the drivers like us get smallpox, even the house and the carriage will be burned down! I have an old friend who went bankrupt just like that, Can only go to the poorhouse!"

"Me? I haven't gotten it yet. A gold coin is too expensive. If I only need a silver coin, I'll get it right away!"

"Sir, are you really feeling well? - Oh, I see, then you must go to them to change your cow... what?"

"...you drive well!"

The chestnut cane in Arezzo's right hand is raised and lowered, lowered and raised again.I endured and endured, so I didn't give the talkative coachman a back.Not long after, the coachman pointed ahead and called out:
"Look, sir, the red cross flag! We're almost there!"

Arezzo raised his eyes and indeed saw a strange-looking banner.Rectangular, with a white background, and a thick red cross in the middle, with the same length horizontally and vertically.Neither end touches the edge of the flag, so it can be said that it is not leaning on all sides.

Arezzo searched his memory, it seems that there is no noble family crest, there is such a symbol...

Made it up yourself?Or, magically, have a special meaning?
Does it refer to a specific spell?
Huh, it's a magician after all!I just love to do some deviant things!
The carriage rolls forward.After turning a corner, you can see the intersection in front of the "Red Cross".Arezzo glanced casually, and saw outside the fence, someone was planting trees profusely in sweat:
"Has it not been built yet?" He casually asked the coachman:

"Are you still planting trees?"

"Ah, that's not true." The coachman turned his head and glanced over, his tone immediately changed, full of respect:
"The magicians here are very good. It doesn't matter if they can't pay for the treatment of the poor, as long as they plant oak trees outside the fence--for small diseases and diseases, plant an oak tree, and for particularly serious diseases, there are several kinds of oak trees. Tree. Say yes, and be worthy of their names."

Having said that, the carriage has slowly slowed down.Arezzo raised his hand and knocked on the front shaft of the car, and threw a silver coin over:
"Slow down and keep going."

At the same time, his eyes swept away.At the front entrance of the three-story building, there is a bronze plaque embedded in it, shining brightly:

Oak Grove Medical Research Institute.

Here it is.The master assassin under the name of [Viper] said to himself silently.

The owner of this place is the target of his mission, a young low-level mage.Well, it is said that he is still a priest?

In short, it is harder to kill than a simple mage or priest, but not too difficult to kill.Then, the key to completing the mission lies in the defense force around the target.

Arezzo leaned on the seat of the carriage, half closed his eyes, and observed the medical center through the gaps in his eyelids.There are some barbarians at the gate, they are not of high rank, so there is nothing to worry about;
There are some magical fluctuations in the wall, but the level is not high, at most it looks like second- and third-level magic, and there should be no powerful characters;

There is no trace of the mage tower, no tower spirit scanning, the defense here should not be a concern...

So, what about the guards around the target?
What about the magic equipment on the target?

Find a chance and go into that medical center to have a look, but there is no need to rush...

To kill, it is better to kill a mage with a mage tower. It is normal to do a survey for a month or two beforehand.There is no time limit for the left and right of the Holy See. If you succeed within half a year, it is estimated that they will not rush——

Arezzo closed his eyes and walked away leisurely without looking back.

His cover was that of a naturalist, visiting friends in Nevis and having his work published.From proofreading, typesetting to printing, it takes several months. He can plan slowly, so as to hit a hit——

Moreover, the undercurrent of the smallpox vaccination incident also aroused this interest.Maybe, in addition to accomplishing the goal, he can still play a big one?
Arezzo's thin lips were drawn into a line, and then slowly raised.Thinking of setting off an unprecedented trend in such a city, his thin eyes couldn't help but sparkle with excitement:
So funny!

Hiding in the shadows, stirring up the turbulent hearts, provoking the complicated desires, greed and fears, taking advantage of the situation in a strange city, and finally turning into an uncontrollable storm...

What's the point of just killing someone?
If you want to do it, make a big one!

"Dear old Stephen—" Due to his good mood, his tone became extremely gentle, which made the Holy See spy who played his "old friend" shudder:
"Do me a favor, find all the recent papers on the smallpox vaccine and show me. Of course, especially the writings of the Nordmark mage, as well as the two articles on "Magic" and "Arcane" ..."

The parliamentary periodicals are theoretically not open for subscription, and it is not that difficult to get those who really have a relationship.The spy who had been rooted in Nevis for 20 years soon brought a thick pile of them.

Under the bright light of the everlasting flame, [Madison] Arezzo read the paper with great interest.Watching and laughing:

"Is the smallpox vaccine taken from cows?—hasn't anyone who vaccinated hitherto thought of that?"

"Are they really not afraid of something going wrong?"

"According to the paper, it doesn't cost as much as one gold coin per person to get it from the cow... Those people who are going to be taxed have never suspected that the parliament took the opportunity to embezzle?"

"Interesting and interesting... There are so many articles that can be done..."
