Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 525 The Doctor Arrives
Griffith hadn't slept for two days.

Although the extraordinary person's powerful physique allowed her to still hold on, her face was still filled with fatigue and anxiety that were difficult to conceal.

These two days have been terrible for Griffith.

It’s not that she herself had anything unhappy, but as soon as she closed her eyes, images of people infected with the plague, wailing in pain and seeking help would appear before her eyes.

This kept her awake at night and she had no way to rest.

In fact, her situation is not an isolated case among this team of White Wolf Knights.

Although some experienced knights forced themselves to sleep to rest and restore their physical and mental state, Griffith could see that these old knights were not as calm as they appeared.

Griffith could sense their anxiety and uneasiness, as well as their concerns about certain things.

In comparison, referee knights like Fulvio seemed relatively calm and were able to live and work normally, eat and sleep without being affected.

However, Griffith could also see that Fulvio was not affected by the plight of the people, which did not mean that he was not worried about it.

It’s just that the direction he was worried about was different from the direction Griffith was worried about.

What the Judge Knight was worried about was that Perfecto would make an irrational decision, which would likely cause the plague to spread.

Of course, as a mere Knight of Judgment of the Church, he knew that he had no say in the matter, so he only expressed such concerns to Griffith.

Apart from this, Fulvio simply used his experience and knowledge to help Griffith and her flag team block the entire settlement and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.

Of course, like Princess Anne, he also thought about the problem of food contaminated by the plague.

However, he soon learned a fact: in the North, food for settlements of this size was regularly transported and distributed by autonomous robots. If he wanted to know if there were any problems, he could just check the operating records of the autonomous robots.

As for whether anyone could even retrace these running records, if this question were asked to Perfect, her answer would most likely be that these people, firstly, do not have alchemists who can do this, and secondly, do not have the actual need to do so.

Erasing relevant records is indeed an effective way to cover up evidence, but the prerequisite is that this method can really work.

And from another perspective, those evil cults would like people to know them and what they have done, so how could they consider a way out and destroy evidence?

Especially in this era, the police still have to catch thieves at the scene. Evidence? Reasoning? Sorry, if you don't see it, it doesn't exist. As long as they are not beaten by the church or the official forces of the empire, they can deny it to death.

Not to mention, their actions themselves have the purpose of expanding the beliefs of their own sect.

The spread of a plague that was sufficiently sensational would be enough to cause panic in the entire North, and then turn it into suitable soil for their missionary work.

With such a premise, why are they still in a hurry to destroy the evidence?
I'm afraid it's too late to protect it.

Moreover, there are too many records to be changed. It's not just this village and the autonomous robot that delivers food to this village. All the villages along the way have recorded the relevant work information of this autonomous robot. Even if this village cannot find it, other villages will always have preserved information.

By comparing several villages, we can know which families have been there and which have not. So to change the operation record, we have to change the relevant documents of all the villages, towns and settlements along the route of this autonomous robot.

This is no small project, nor is it an easy task.

Griffith quickly concluded, therefore, that what Fulvio feared was simply not going to happen.

She also checked relevant records and sent people to other villages and towns along the way to conduct inquiries and inspections. It turned out that the contaminated food only appeared in this settlement.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. If it was just this settlement, the problem would not be so serious and everything could be under control.

But this also raised a question for everyone, as well as new tension and worry.

That is, since the person who poisoned only this village, it proves that the other party is very likely still staying in this settlement, which immediately becomes a potential threat.

This undoubtedly made everyone even more afraid to lift the blockade of the settlement, for fear that the big fish would be lost.

Fortunately, Princess Anne soon arrived here with a medical team and a team of alchemical dolls sent to her by Perfect.

Accompanying Her Royal Highness the Princess were reporters from some newspapers in Chernoborg.

It’s just that these reporters were invited by the Northern authorities to report on this matter, rather than coming here on their own initiative.

As a time traveler, Perfect is well aware of the role that the news media can play. They may not be able to help you succeed, but they can definitely muddy up your affairs.

So in order to avoid some groundless and random reports, Perfect simply invited several relatively authoritative newspapers in the North to send a group of reporters to accompany Princess Anne to the local area for follow-up reporting.

The presence of the eldest princess of the empire undoubtedly gave everyone great confidence. The infected people were relieved at this time and were full of hope that they could survive.

After all, the eldest princess of the empire has come, which proves that the empire attaches great importance to this matter and will definitely not kill them all just like that.

If you really want to kill them, you would have done it secretly a long time ago. Why make such a big fuss?

People in this era are still relatively simple-minded. There is no such thing as throwing people out of the hospital after posing for photos, and people do not have such dark ideas.

The medical team brought by the eldest princess was soon seen by everyone as a hope for survival.

Although the medical team did not have direct contact with the infected people, and only cared for and treated them through the alchemical dolls, no one expressed any objection to this. After all, how doctors in this era treat diseases, only those who understand will understand.

If Perfect had not made a change that could not be considered a medical reform, these doctors would probably still be thinking about how to bleed instead of carefully collecting various samples, analyzing them, and looking for treatment methods.

As the doctors began their work, reporters sent the first reports back to Chernobyl, and major newspapers immediately published the reports on their front pages, letting everyone know what had happened.
