Goddess Wanhua Mirror

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of people who had bought holy water from them surrounded the stronghold of the Lake God Cult.Everyone agrees that you don't need to refund the money from the Lake God Sect, as long as you take out the real holy water.

The priest of the Lake God Sect was dumbfounded, and he didn't have any real holy water.

This incident finally came to an end when the Lake God Cult couldn't bear the pressure and ran away. It took less than two days for Lu De to overthrow them, and until they fled Oyster Harbor in the middle of the night in desperation, Lu De didn't know who was to him that day. He didn't bother to ask what the yin and yang priest of the Hushen Sect was called.

It's just an insignificant little character. This kind of pure magic stick will be powerful for the next anti-epidemic work, and Lude finally attracted the attention of the lord by virtue of his performance in the quarantine area.

End of this chapter

Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Oyster Harbor, Viscount Maple, who ruled here, has always been in a state of desperation. All kinds of bad things came to his face one after another, and he was tired of coping.

This middle-aged old man is indeed neither stupid nor bad, and he doesn't care about the people under his rule, but his ability is limited, and he lacks internal affairs talents who can assist him, which directly leads to During his handling of the epidemic, he made a lot of tricks.

The Maple family has ruled Oyster Harbor for nearly 200 years. After five generations of lords, they have never encountered such a major crisis.After all, the plague is not like pirates and bandits, who can be easily wiped out with well-trained and well-equipped lord guards. The swords and armor that knights are proud of cannot deal with this "invisible enemy" at all, so they can only ask for help For the religious forces who master the magic.

However, the lord soon discovered that religious forces were also unreliable!Their magical skills are indeed very powerful, but they can only save a few people.The local sect and the foreign sect have been busy for two months. The epidemic has not been brought under control, but they have made a lot of money. The Viscount has nothing to do with these gangsters. After all, they have saved some lives. .

Fortunately, not all priests are greedy people who only recognize gold coins, and the God of Medicine Sect is obviously different from other sects.

When the other party first came, the Viscount didn't expect much from them. Indeed, many people came and brought a lot of supplies, but there were only two important priests, one old and one young.

However, what surprised the Viscount was that as soon as Lude met, he offered to enter the isolation area to treat those infected civilians who had been abandoned.This kind of stupid behavior in the eyes of others naturally aroused the cynicism of other sects on the spot, but Lude didn't bother to pay attention to these noises, but just looked at the Viscount calmly and calmly.

So the Viscount agreed to Lude's request, and asked his butler to meet the other party's request within his capacity.

Looking back now, the Viscount is not very clear why he agreed to the other party's request at that time. He probably just felt that the other party was different from other priests, so he subconsciously expected a miracle to happen.

However, subsequent facts proved that the miracle did not come, but this Priest Luther is indeed very skilled in curing diseases and saving lives!The originally dead and silent East Street gradually began to revive.

Lude also voluntarily handed in a list of the names of all the infected people in the quarantine area, classified according to the four categories of mild, severe, recovered, and dead, and then provided an updated list every one or two days. list.

This list was handed over to the Viscount by the housekeeper. He was surprised to find that since the God of Medicine Sect took over the isolation area, no patient had died in it. more.

If this list is accurate, there is no doubt that the Medicine God Cult has really found a cure for the plague.

The dawn of consciousness emerged from the darkest place, and the Viscount was so excited that he wished to go to the quarantine area immediately and ask Lude to treat his people.But just in case, the Viscount needs to send someone to confirm the authenticity of the news. He has seen a lot of religious gods who are full of lies, and the Viscount is afraid that he will be happy in vain.

So the old butler, who was loyal to the Viscount, volunteered again, willing to go to the isolation area instead of the Patriarch, to see whether the healing results of the God of Medicine Sect are true or not.But not long after the butler left the house, a servant in the lord's mansion hurriedly slipped out through the back door and ran to the temple of the Four Seasons Goddess Cult to report.

"You mean, the God of Medicine Sect has found a cure for the plague?"

"It seems to be so, but the lord is not sure, so he specially sent the housekeeper to Dongjie to check the situation."

"When did this happen?"

"Just now, as soon as I overheard the news, I immediately came to report to you, Bishop."

"Well! You are doing well, my boy."

In the secret room of the temple, Bishop Evan Ruth patted the informer on the shoulder in satisfaction, then winked at his disciple Aria, who immediately took out a small bag from his arms and handed it over.

When the informer saw the bag that the nun took out, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took it and squeezed it twice. In addition to a few hard round metal pieces, there was also a small cylindrical bottle.The informer knew exactly what was inside, and there was a strong desire in his eyes.

"Thank you, Bishop!"

"Go ahead and enjoy it, but don't let anyone find out."

After dismissing the informer, Evan Ruth pinched his jaws and fell into deep thought. He thought that the God of Medicine Sect was just some ridiculous hypocrites, but he didn't expect that they could actually control the epidemic, and it was still a matter of circumstances. The most severe isolation zone.

Evan Ruth's first thought was how to steal the results.

If it is potion, then steal the formula of the potion, if it is magic, then find a way to imitate it.

Although the divine arts have their own strengths due to the different gods worshiped by the sects, they are essentially the same, and the goddess of the four seasons is the god with the most gods. Before the emergence of the God of Medicine Sect, they were the best at healing A sect of divine arts, because the goddess of the four seasons defeated the twin goddesses "nature" and "life" that the elves once believed in in the battle of gods, so these two gods now belong to the goddess of the four seasons.

Evan Ruth believes that as long as Lude is allowed to "make a model", he is fully sure to imitate a magic spell with a similar effect.At that time, relying on the strong strength of their Four Seasons Goddess Cult, and putting in more efforts in publicity, the savior who finally saved the entire Oyster Harbor must be himself!

So under the order of Evan Ruth, the Goddess of the Four Seasons Cult secretly made small moves. At the same time, in the isolation area, the old housekeeper had already put on the clothes that are said to be effective in reducing infection with the help of dwarf volunteers outside the wall. Dangerous full set of protective clothing, and then declined the company of others, and entered the "dangerous" quarantine area alone.

Just a week ago, this place was a place of hopeless death that the residents of the city were talking about. All kinds of weird rumors spread everywhere, describing this place as "the slaughterhouse of the lord" and "a hell full of dead bodies and carrion".The old butler knew that the actual situation was not as exaggerated as the rumors said, but it was not much better.

However, only a week later, earth-shaking changes have taken place here. It is even more decent than the East Street before the outbreak in the memory of the old housekeeper. It is so clean and tidy that it does not look like a slum.

As soon as he entered the gate of the isolation area, the old butler was startled by the main road in front of him. The muddy road that was originally full of potholes had been smoothed out, and the road surface was covered with a layer of gray-black cinders.

The old butler looked around, and there was no glaring excrement, no pungent smell of urine, and not even a piece of rubbish on the road.This level of cleanliness is uncommon even in wealthy areas, let alone slums where demons gather.

The old butler who was in shock couldn't understand for a while how all this was done, he accidentally dropped a rough cloth handkerchief on the ground, and immediately saw a member under the thatched shed directly in front of him, and rushed out The hero in the orange vest and red armband rushed towards the old housekeeper at a speed of [-] meters.

The old butler saw that the person's steps were vigorous and not like a sick infected person, subconsciously he thought he had run into an assassin, his muscles tensed immediately, and he immediately entered the attacking stance.

But the other party rushed over aggressively, but did not draw out the murder weapon. Instead, he waved a big broom and swept the handkerchief dropped by the old butler on the ground into the rattan basket held by the other hand with lightning speed. In the middle, the whole set of movements is as clean and neat as flowing clouds and flowing water.

"You, you..."

"Dude, don't lie to me, okay? I just got the pacesetter yesterday, and the trash can is so close to you, so why don't you take two extra steps!"

"Huh? This?"

Following the direction of the big man in the vest, the old butler noticed that there was an open wooden box on the side of the road less than three meters away from him, with the words "garbage can" written in charcoal on it.The big man in the red vest then poured the coarse cloth handkerchief that had just been swept into the rattan basket, and then "warned" the old housekeeper, then turned around and went back to squatting under the shack just now.

The old butler who was stunned in place had mixed feelings for a while. As the "first servant" beside the lord, he was even a powerful boxing master when he was young. He was also the number one person in this Oyster Harbor. He had to be polite himself, and Chenghu Sheshu had to bow his head and call grandpa, but he never thought he would be scolded by a street sweeper in the quarantine area.

Only then did the old housekeeper realize that it probably had something to do with wearing a mask and not showing his true face.He is not the kind of narrow-minded person who cares about everything, but after being choked up in a daze, the more he thinks about it, the more he gets annoyed!

Taking a deep breath, the old butler meditated on the important business in his heart, and walked quickly to the inside of the isolation area, but the result became more and more shocking as he walked in. The transformation of the God of Medicine Sect here is far more than simple road construction.

In addition to road repairs, more than half of the originally chaotic shantytowns on East Street have also been demolished. The others are functioning and appear to be ready for recycling.

But what surprised the old housekeeper the most was that the workers who were working were not the so-called dwarven volunteers pulled from the north by the God of Medicine Sect, but the infected who were sick and waiting to die.

The old butler still remembered that he had come to the isolation area a week ago and stood on the watchtower and looked into the wall. Most of the infected people who were sent in were weak and wandering like walking dead, and some wandered aimlessly in the streets. Some simply slumped in the corner, rotting slowly like a pile of garbage.

But only a week later, these sick people stood up. Although they were still very thin, even if they wore masks to cover the lower half of their faces, it could be seen from other places that the traces of the disease had not left on them. It is completely eliminated, but the complexion is obviously much better, and I can already work like a normal person.

In order to confirm the situation, the old butler took the initiative to go up.

Because of the previous precedent, the old housekeeper declared himself first this time.

When the people who were working heard that the other party was the lord's steward, although they looked at him with complicated eyes, they still bowed to salute him submissively, obviously the ruler's prestige was still there.

"Boys, are you all infected?"

"...Yes, my lord, we were all infected before."

"So are you cured now?"

"Uh... that counts?"

Hearing the old butler's inquiry, the younger brother who answered scratched his head, then pointed to a yellow cloth strip on his chest and told the old butler that he and the other workers present were still in the "observation period" and were not considered fully recovered.

The priestess who treated him said that although the basic symptoms of these people have disappeared, the possibility of recurrence cannot be ruled out. Therefore, they must be observed for another week before they can be transferred to the "green zone" for recovered patients.

Although the old butler didn't fully understand, he still understood the general meaning, so he hurriedly asked how he was cured?As a result, the little brother hesitated for a moment, saying that he did not understand how he was cured.

The little brother told the old housekeeper that he and other workers had not been sent to the isolation area for a long time, and he came in a day earlier than Master Lu De of the God of Medicine Sect, and the place was completely taken over by the God of Medicine Sect at noon the next day .

The little brother is only in his early twenties this year. He used to carry jobs on the pier and has a relatively strong physique.According to the standards set by the God of Medicine Sect, he is a mild patient.

In his memory, the priests of the God of Medicine Sect have never used magic spells on mild patients like them. There are many medicines, but the most impressive thing is the almost brainwashed "medical staff" Drink more water!"

People from the God of Medicine Sect came to the quarantine area. While they brought hope to the patients, they also established many strange "rules" here. Among them, the strictest implementation is the prohibition of drinking unboiled water.There are special drinking water points in the isolation area to provide boiled hot water, and drinking raw water will be punished.

Many patients couldn't understand it at first, and they understood that they were not allowed to drink dirty water, but why can't they drink the well water that looks clean?

The God of Medicine explained this, saying that there is a kind of tiny demon called "germ" in the raw water. Ordinary people can't see it with the naked eye, and can't taste it after drinking it, but once it enters the body, it will make the original healthy People get sick, and the culprit of the plague is this kind of demon.Only by boiling water with hot flames can these terrible evil spirits be effectively purified.

This set of nagging rhetoric successfully frightened all the infected people in the quarantine area, and some people even had terrible nightmares because of this, dreaming that the terrifying devil came out of their stomachs, lying on the bed at night and opening their mouths. He closed his eyes and yelled, scaring the whole room of patients who couldn't sleep well.

From then on, everyone began to obediently drink more hot water, so that now it has evolved into a unique greeting in the quarantine area!

End of this chapter

After listening to the little brother's narration, the old butler still had a lot of doubts in his heart. After thinking about it, he had to meet the very special Master Lude and ask him clearly in person.

So he asked where Lude was, and the little brother told him to continue walking along the main road with the slogan. There was a checkpoint with dwarves standing guard in front, and further ahead was the "red zone" where the critically ill patients were. Master Lude It is generally used to treat those critically ill patients who are in serious condition.

In this way, the old butler said goodbye to his younger brother and the others, and continued to go deep into the isolation area. On the walls of the buildings on both sides of the main road, there were indeed many slogans and pictures.

The old housekeeper is naturally literate, so as he walked and read, he found that most of these slogans were short and simple sentences, such as "Focus on hygiene and wash your hands frequently", "Drink more hot water to avoid getting sick", etc. The sentences are short and have matching words. The picture, even if the average person is illiterate, can easily remember it if someone else reads it.

The old butler was walking, and soon saw the checkpoint with dwarf guards that the younger brother said before.A row of white tents blocked the street, leaving only a small doorway to pass through.

However, just as the old butler was about to step forward to declare his identity, a sudden shout from the side caught his attention.

The old housekeeper who had been to East Street before still remembered that there should have been a very dense shanty town nearby. On a piece of open space that was no more than 50 meters square in width and length, there were hundreds of shacks built and piled up in disorder. The storey is the highest, and the apex is at least a dozen meters away from the ground. The locals jokingly call it "Tongtian Tower", and some people call it "Crow's Nest". It can be called the landmark building of Dongjie.

However, the garbage-like buildings in my memory have disappeared, replaced by a newly built playground, where hundreds of mildly ill patients with orange barcodes on their chests are "dancing" in line with a few people in protective clothing.

The old housekeeper stopped and watched for a while, feeling that he had only come in for twenty or ten minutes, and he was already a bit familiar with it.

Holding the token given by the lord, the old butler came to the dwarven guards and asked to meet the priest Lude of the God of Medicine Sect.

The dwarves checked his identity very politely, and then told him that the red zone where the severe disease is located must be disinfected before entering and exiting, and after entering the tent, follow the instructions of the staff, stand at the designated position, and let them use the disinfectant Just spray water all over.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the old housekeeper would not understand, the guard repeatedly emphasized to him that the disinfection was for his own good, which could prevent him from contracting the plague.

So the old steward entered the tent along the passage, and came to a completely closed room, in which stood four heavily armed dwarves and a human.The old butler recognized that the equipment they were wearing was the dwarf's "mine suit", a kind of equipment specially prepared for digging deep mines.

This thing has a matching filter and air box, which can ensure the safety of dwarven miners when they encounter poisonous gas or feel suffocated underground.

But the equipment worn by these dwarves in front of them is obviously more advanced than ordinary mine suits. Not only is there a chamber pot on their heads, but they are also tightly wrapped.

At this moment, the human came forward, and when he opened his mouth, it turned out to be a girl, who might have sounded about ten years old. He told the old butler to stand upright, and I had to help him clean his face first, and then he could disinfect his whole body.

Stepping on her feet, the little girl took off the mask on the old housekeeper's face, and then wiped his face with a soft cloth sprayed with blue liquid.After the little girl wiped it a few times, the old butler concluded that this was a rookie who had never learned how to serve others, and his skills were far worse than those of the maids in the lord's mansion. He almost poked his finger in his nostrils several times.

But the little girl wiped his face obviously not to serve others, because she explained to the old housekeeper the precautions in the "red zone" while wiping his face, especially emphasizing not to touch it everywhere, let alone wipe his eyes or wipe his face after touching it. Mouth, because it is easy to be infected with the plague, and someone in the red zone has already been tricked.

After the girl finished wiping, she put a new mask on the old butler, and used a large clip to take out a pair of dwarf goggles from the cauldron that was always boiling at the side, let it cool down a bit, and then put it on his face superior.

Then two dwarves with spray boxes on their backs stepped forward, spraying the old butler with the blue spray all over his face.

Only then did the old housekeeper know what the so-called "disinfection" was, and he had never been treated this way in his adulthood.This reminded him of the relatively common holy water exorcism in all religions, which is to sprinkle holy water on people, but usually shake it with hands or freshly picked branches, but when he came to the God of Medicine Sect, he directly used a hand-operated spray box. It highlights a strong character!

The two dwarves sprayed for half a minute, even the soles of the old housekeeper's shoes, underarms and between the crotches were not spared, and this was considered a complete disinfection.

As a complete set of old butlers, he secretly rejoiced that he was the one who came to inspect instead of the lord. If it were those bad-tempered knights, they might fight with them because they felt that they had been humiliated.

"Can I see Master Lude now?"

"Of course, I'll show you the way!"

Under the leadership of the girl, the old butler finally entered the "red zone" which is dedicated to the treatment of critically ill patients. As soon as he came here, he felt that the atmosphere here was completely different from the outside. There were people wearing protective clothing in and out between the row of tents. All the staff who came out looked very busy, and the atmosphere was very dignified.

The girl saw that it was the first time for the old housekeeper to come in, and as she walked, she introduced to him the situation in the red zone and some precautions that must be taken care of.

The old housekeeper learned from the other party that the treatment methods here are still based on conventional methods, while the powerful magic is responsible for the bottom line, and will only be used when critically ill patients are dying.

The old housekeeper couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this, because before he came, he, like the Viscount, thought that the magic of the God of Medicine Sect should be powerful, and he had a unique divine bonus in healing, so he was able to save so many people. But I didn't expect that the other party was mainly using conventional means.

Thinking of this, the old butler became more and more excited.

You must know that conventional methods mean universality, unlike divine arts, which are easy to use, but they are only in the hands of a very small number of priests, and the number of times they are used is strictly limited.So the priests raised the price on the ground and tripled the treatment cost, and you still have nothing to do with them.

"Yes, have you found a specific medicine that can cure the disease?"

"Uh... There is no specific medicine yet, but we have identified several medicines that can suppress the disease, mainly relying on nursing. I major in nursing. You should ask Mr. Lude for advice later!"

Seeing the little girl scratching her head in embarrassment, the old butler thought that he really couldn't expect to get anything from such a young child, so he stopped asking and followed her to the Mud Tavern on East Street.This place was originally the main entertainment place on East Street, and the surrounding houses were either "raw meat shops" run by low-class prostitutes, or black gambling sheds controlled by the underworld.

The customers who can come to such a dilapidated place to spend on weekdays are naturally not high-end people.

But now the place has changed, because Lude set up his "command center" in the tavern, and the instructions issued from here manage the entire quarantine area.

The old butler finally met Lu De himself on the second floor of the tavern.

Because he was eager to know the cure for the plague, the old butler didn't bother to be too polite, and directly stated his intention of coming, and said that Lord Viscount would definitely give a satisfactory gift to the Cult of God and Lude himself.

Seeing that the butler was so excited, ready to kneel down and hug his thigh to pray at any time, Lu De hurriedly asked the old butler to calm down first.His original intention of traveling thousands of miles to Oyster Harbor was to prevent the plague from raging, not because of greed for money.If you just want to make money, you can just stay in Songshu Town and concentrate on making medicine.Therefore, he is willing to share the cure for the plague with any good person who is compassionate and wants to save the suffering, but please listen to him.

"Mr. Steward, it's been the eighth day since I came to your land. To be honest, I was quite disappointed at the beginning. The largest and most prosperous port city in the northern part of the entire kingdom has such a backward level of public health. Residents ranging from nobles to low Even the people of Limin have no concept of epidemic prevention at all. And all this could have been avoided, and even if it happened, it would not be so tragic."

As Lude said, he listed to the old housekeeper some of the most basic hygiene common sense in the eyes of people on earth, and explained the function and significance of doing so, then picked up a piece of paper, pointed to the above sets of data curves and said .

"This is the statistics I just made. The group on the left was calculated by Dr. Nan Ding and others before I came here. The group on the right is the data after I took over the quarantine area and fully controlled it. Three lines of red, yellow and blue The curves are the mortality rate, the cure rate, and the rate of deterioration from mild to severe, and the data changes on paper can be said to be clear at a glance."

Handing the report to the butler, the old butler looked at the two sets of completely different curves and frowned, because according to what Lude said just now, the plague this time is actually not strong, it is because their city's disease resistance is too weak , was beaten so embarrassingly by the plague.

The real culprits who killed many civilians were actually the "meat eaters" who took wrong countermeasures!
