Goddess Wanhua Mirror

The viscount's reputation has been saved, and finally bottomed out, and the order of the territory has quickly returned to stability, and the haze is dissipating.

The low-level civilians have also benefited. People no longer talk about the isolation zone, and as long as they feel that there is something wrong with their bodies, they don't need the lord's guards to come to catch them, and they will consciously come to accept the isolation.

I didn't come because I was afraid of death before, but now I take the initiative because I want to live!

The various denominations that have joined are not at a loss. If it is said that Lu De was elected as the Director of the Health Bureau just because of the trend and wanted him to take the responsibility, then after Master Lu's operation, everyone will only be convinced. There is a sense of comfort being taken away by a boss.

Especially the "believer preferential" policy proposed by Lude, everyone has never thought about it before, so it turns out that attracting believers can be played like this!

Because this policy clearly states that it can be superimposed according to the number of people, that is to say, as long as you can call nine people to accompany you to join the teaching, the treatment fee can be waived, and you don’t even need to be a volunteer.

As a result, there was a frenzy of religious conversions in the city in an instant, and many family members of the patients rushed to join the religious sects. In just three days, the six affiliated sects had accumulatively added tens of thousands of local believers.This group of people may not be considered very pious, but the momentum effect is extremely significant.

All sects turned back collectively for Master Lude's brilliant move, and only the Sect of the Goddess of the Four Seasons, who was excluded, was gnashing its teeth and suffering.

Since Evan Ruth did not join the Health Bureau under the pretext of "asking for instructions from the main hall", they could only watch helplessly while others were eating meat and soup.

You must know that before this, the Goddess of the Four Seasons Sect was the largest local sect in Oyster Harbor, and there were about 3 baptized believers in the local area.This is still in the case that the baptism of the Goddess of the Four Seasons requires money. It is already quite impressive to have this number, and this is the result of Evan Ruth's hard work in the past three years.

Evan Ruth thought that with the help of this epidemic crisis, he successfully held a sacrificial ceremony, which could increase the number of baptized believers to more than [-], as the capital for his return to the main hall of the royal capital, but the appearance of Lude was serious. He ruined his chance and directly snatched the meat that was about to reach his mouth.

That's 1 people in three days!Even if they are all general believers, the beliefs that can be produced can accumulate sand into a tower. The most important thing is that this gives the six sects a foothold in the local area, and there is no way for me to drive them out of Oyster Harbor in a short time. go out.

Every time he thinks of this, Evan Ruth's hatred for Lude will increase again. While eating, he bites the steak fiercely, as if he is biting Lude.

End of this chapter

"That old thing... the steak is so tough..."

After finishing dinner with a fierce look on his face, Evan Ruth wiped his mouth with a precious silk handkerchief, and the nuns who were packing up the tableware next to him were silent like cicadas, for fear that they would accidentally offend the Bishop and be called into his room by him at night "Lecture".

At this time, Aria came in from the door, indicating that there was something to report. Evan Ruth waved his hand immediately, and the nuns present retreated as if they were pardoned.

"Did something happen?"

"Mentor, you told me to arrange eyeliners to keep an eye on each other's every move. They just reported two things."

"Which two?"

"First, the Health Bureau erected a lot of new billboards on the streets of various parts of the city this afternoon. A lot of data was disclosed on these signs. They copied a copy for me. It includes the number of infected people, the number of cured people, and the number of deaths, divided into cumulative numbers. There are two types of numbers compared to today, with a total of six sets of numbers, and it is said that they will be updated every day."

"Why did they publish this?"

"I don't know very well, but it is said that the residents are very interested."

"What about the other thing?"

"The other thing is about the priest Lude. He suddenly fainted this afternoon when he was inspecting the ward in the isolation area. This is the public part, and the undisclosed part was discovered by a pharmacist in Lude's meal. A chronic poison."

"What!?"

Hearing that Lude had fallen, Evan Ruth slammed the table, a look of joy flashed across his face at first, but it soon changed.

"Aria, did you arrange it?"

"It's not me. Teacher, you told me before, don't rush to attack Lude himself at this stage, so I just arranged for people to spread rumors."

"Do you know who poisoned it?"

"There is no relevant news yet, I have already arranged for someone to investigate."

"Well, you're doing a good job, let me know as soon as you have any news."

After listening to Aria's report, Evan Ruth couldn't help but fell into deep thought, trying to figure out who would have poisoned them one by one in his mind.At first, this incident seemed to be "good news" that was beneficial to me, but after careful consideration, I found that there was something subtly wrong.

After all, it was still an extraordinary period, and as the first director of the Health Bureau, Lu De happened to be on the cusp of the storm and attracted much attention.If something happens to him at this time, as long as the identity of the murderer is not clear, everyone will suspect him immediately.

The point is that Evan Ruth has no way to prove his innocence.

"X's! Which bastard did this?"

Evan Ruth was thinking hard about who might be the murderer, while at the same time in the isolation area, Lude was lying on a soft and comfortable hospital bed, next to his female disciple Romean who was feeding him with her own hands, with a dragon mother's face. It's full of concerns.

"Master, do you feel better now?"

"It's all right now, as a teacher, it's just a little lack of sleep."

"But you suddenly fainted in the afternoon!"

Recalling the scene in the afternoon, Romean didn't feel that her most beloved mentor was simply "lack of sleep".At that time, she was with Lu De, and saw with her own eyes that he suddenly clutched his chest without warning, and then fell to the ground unconscious.

Seeing this, Romean hurried forward to help Lude up, and then used primary lay on hands on him without hesitation.As a result, Lu De's face only improved slightly, but he didn't wake up immediately, and immediately frightened Long Niang.

Fortunately, the coma lasted less than 2 minutes, and Lude finally regained consciousness, but his body was very weak, and he struggled to get up several times, but failed to stand up.Romean was afraid that the mentor would fall again, so she had to hug Lude tightly from behind, so that his head could rest on her chest.

After that, the stretcher team from the medical team rushed over and transferred Lu De to the current separate ward. Out of worry, Romean stayed by the mentor's side throughout the whole process.

What Long Niang admired and felt distressed was that during this period, priests from other churches came and wanted to use magical powers to heal the mentor, but they were all declined by the mentor, who asked them to save their magical powers and give priority to treating those seriously ill patients.

Thanks to the policies of the Health Bureau, urban residents have seen hope for life. The number of infected people who have come to the isolation area has increased sharply in the past few days, and there are many serious patients who are hidden by their families. , The scale of the red zone had to be further expanded.

The surge of patients also made Lu De, who was already working under a heavy workload, even more busy. He couldn't sleep for three hours a day, and his figure running around was seen by all the staff and patients in the entire isolation area. He is regarded as a saint sent by the goddess to save the common people.

Therefore, when Lu De suddenly fell down, it also affected everyone's hearts.

At this time, Winig came in from the door, frowning as if he was thinking about something.Seeing that Romean was also in the ward, the old dwarf hesitated for a moment, and said to Long Niang in a rare soft voice.

"Girl, the old man has something to say and wants to talk to your tutor alone, can you go out first? Don't worry! It's just a few words, it will be soon."

Seeing that Lude also nodded, Romean put the broth on the bedside table, then got up and went out.After the other party left, Winig said to Lude with a serious face.

"Old man, do you know that you have been poisoned?"

"I feel it, but it's not fatal, and the dose is not large, so it's a bit late when I react."

"Nandin has already experienced it. It is a chronic poison in your lunch. There must be ghosts in this quarantine area!"

Speaking of the inner ghost, the old dwarf's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He hated traitors the most in his life.But Lu De shook his head, persuading him not to say anything.

"Dude, in this period, internal stability is above all else! Don't spread the news of my poisoning, just say that I'm just overtired. Don't rush to investigate the ghosts, wait until the epidemic is under control."

"But what if they engage in such small tricks again?"

"It's enough to arrange reliable people to watch over me. They only poisoned me, which shows that they are still quite measured."

"I said how do you..."

"Okay, let's hold on to this matter for now. I'm going to faint today. Actually, it's not all because of the little bit of poison. 68! Humans are no dwarfs like you. At my age, it's possible at any time."

Seeing Lude's calm expression of "knowing his destiny", Winig let out a sigh.Although he is almost 60 years old this year, his body is still strong and healthy. If he takes good care of it, he can live another [-] or [-] years without any problem. Humans over [-] years old can be regarded as old people, and very few people can live past [-] years old.

Thinking of this, Winig couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. He and Lude had known each other for less than a year, but they hit it off right away.It was he who introduced himself to the Pantheon and helped the dwarves find a god more suitable for their beliefs.For this kindness, Wenig felt that it was not too much to repay him with his life.

End of this chapter

After resting on the hospital bed for a day, Lu De ignored the dissuasion of Romi Ann and the other students the next day, got up and went back to work.

Inspired and driven by his behavior, the enthusiasm of all the staff in the entire isolation area was ignited, and the patients who received treatment also felt grateful after learning about it, and then transformed it into a steady stream of faith, which was input into Aina in the body.

Lourdes must admit that a densely populated metropolis is indeed the best!The entire Oyster Harbor has a population of about 16 in the city alone, and there are [-] to [-] in the surrounding towns. The population density can be said to be quite impressive. If Lude fully activates the original fire in his body, it can completely cover the entire city. urban area.

Therefore, as Lu De's deeds slowly spread in the city, the God of Medicine Sect also gained popularity among the people, almost becoming a symbol of hope.

In this city that is still under the shadow of the epidemic, almost everyone has unknowingly become a believer in the God of Medicine and contributed their own beliefs.Coupled with the atmosphere of this special period, thirty times the population of Pine Tree Town, the belief generated is almost a hundred times higher, and there is obviously room for further growth.

But Aina has been "supported" a bit these days, and she is in a trance most of the time, making people feel more stupid than before.Through touch and perception, Lude found that the divine power in her body was condensing, and there was a call for transformation and evolution.

The gods can upgrade this, and Lude had heard it from Hume a long time ago.

After the faith absorbed by any god has accumulated to a certain level, there is a certain probability that it will be able to break through itself, its own strength will be significantly improved, and new god-position characteristics will be awakened.

The reason why many gods are stingy with believers and unwilling to share their power is that they hope to accumulate a wave of big ones and upgrade them out.As a result, they only thought about how to save money but did not know how to increase income. Instead, it was because believers could not witness miracles and feel the existence of gods for a long time, which led to the decline of their own sect.

At present, the three strongest royal families, Holy Lord of Light, Heavenly Mad God of War, and Goddess of Four Seasons have all broken through eight times, and belong to the "higher gods", while Hume has broken through five times, and they are in the "middle gods" who are more than the upper and less than the lower. ".If she wants to break the curse of God of War, a breakthrough in rank is probably the most likely way to achieve it.

According to Lude's observation, if there is no accident, Aina is very likely to usher in her first breakthrough in "divine life" in the near future. The divine power in her body has condensed from a cloud of mist to a liquid almost She has the same essence, but she is still short of the last kick to help her achieve a breakthrough, otherwise she will have to be as stupid as she is now for a while.

So Lu De had a plan and decided to "create" a miracle in Oyster Harbor!

Since the military order was issued with the lord before, the epidemic problem must be completely resolved within [-] days, and the port can resume normal operation before the June monsoon arrives. Therefore, the Health Bureau led by Lude can be said to be full of strength. energy!

They first spent five days concentrating on the census of the city's residents, using the characteristic of black blood of infected people to screen nearly 16 people.The tool uses the silver needles used for blood collection tools. In order to avoid possible cross-infection, after each silver needle is pierced, it should be thrown into boiling water for 5 minutes, then taken out to dry, and then soaked in high-concentration alcohol .

Residents in the city did not resist the census, not only because of the preferential policies of the Health Bureau, but also because of the order of the lord, who refused to accept the inspection would be convicted, so no one said to hide.

The results of the large-scale census finally showed that the total population of Oyster Harbor City was 14, and more than 8000 infected people were found in total. 3 people.

This number can be said to be quite terrifying, because the total population of the entire Viscounty is only around 20. From the outbreak to the present, nearly one-sixth of the infection has been infected in three months. If Lude did not intervene strongly, the epidemic would be allowed to develop freely. , the entire Oyster Harbor will persist for another two months at most, and there will be no healthy people!The neighboring Earl of Lumley will not be spared either.

Lude showed the speculated data to the Viscount, but the other party couldn't say a word for a long time.

After the investigation, the surge of patients instantly overwhelmed the isolation area, and the entire East Street was almost overcrowded, with the population density reaching the level before the outbreak.

For this reason, Lu De found the Viscount, hoping to set aside another piece of land near East Street to establish a special isolation area for mild patients.Lu De took a fancy to an open space on the north side of East Street, hoping to temporarily hand over this space to himself.

To be honest, Lude was somewhat surprised when he first noticed the open space.Because in the commercially prosperous Oyster Harbor, the land price in the city can be said to be very expensive. East Street used to be almost overcrowded as a slum, but it is only separated by a drainage channel less than ten meters wide, but it is an undeveloped area comparable to East Street. In the open space, only weeds are barren.

Therefore, Lude wanted to borrow this open space for a while, but Viscount Maple told Lude in embarrassment that he could not decide this land, because the land belonged to the Goddess of the Four Seasons Sect.And the church is not a commoner, so it is impossible for him to make the other party obey any order unconditionally with a single sentence.

According to the Viscount, Evan Ruth went to Oyster Port three years ago to serve as the Bishop of the Northern Diocese of the Goddess of the Four Seasons. The other party talked to the Viscount, saying that he wanted to build a Four Seasons Garden in the city.In a sense, this thing should be regarded as a "religious spectacle". The entire garden is blessed with divine magic, so that its interior presents different scenery in four seasons at the same time.

If this thing is really built, it will not only add a lot of color to the city, but also attract pilgrims to come for sightseeing, which will have a significant boost to the local economy.

Ever since, the city lord agreed to Evan Ruth's request and sold the land that was originally part of the East Street to Evan Ruth at a very low price, and it became the teaching property of the Four Seasons Goddess Sect.

But three years have passed, and the Goddess of Four Seasons Sect has not even seen a single brick of the Four Seasons Garden, except for clearing out the local residents and razing all the houses to the ground in the first year.On the contrary, the price of the land is rising steadily, more than five times higher than when Evan Ruth bought it.

The lord faintly felt that he might have been fooled, but helplessly, this land is now the teaching property of the Goddess of the Four Seasons, and it is not so easy to come back.

In view of this, Viscount Maple said that he was helpless. As a local lord, he had limited ability to restrain religious forces, and the other party was a super-class sect like the Goddess of the Four Seasons Sect, which has influence across three continents. Before there is no other reliable reliance , he can reject Evan Ruth's proposal, but he dare not forcibly take back the land.

After understanding the situation, Lude expressed his understanding of the lord's difficulties, so he pondered for a moment, then smiled and said to the viscount.

"In that case, I'll go and talk to him myself!"

End of this chapter

Because of Evan Ruth's hesitation, the Goddess of the Four Seasons Cult in Oyster Harbor is currently in a very embarrassing situation.

Other sects have already joined the Health Bureau, and now they are actively participating in the fight against the epidemic, rapidly improving their reputation in the local area, and attracting people to join the sect like a snowball.But they could only watch helplessly, allowing the believers below to be lost at a rapid rate.

Some monks and grassroots priests complained privately about this, thinking that it was Bishop Evan Ruth's mistake, which made them very passive.

In fact, Evan Ruth himself was also very uncomfortable. The problem of face prevented him from accepting Lude's invitation at the beginning. If he wanted to go in now, he would inevitably bow his head to the other party, which made him even more unacceptable.

So even if it is uncomfortable, Evan Ruth must bite the bullet and stick to the dragging formula to the end.He firmly believes that the people are ignorant and ignorant. These guys are now grateful to the Health Bureau. When this plague is over, he will have a way to fool them all back.

It's like playing cards in a casino. It doesn't matter if you can't control it for a while, anyway, the opponent still has seventeen cards in his hand, so can you beat him in seconds?

However, when Evan Ruth was hiding in the fortress-like temple and did not hear anything outside the window, Lude suddenly visited.

To be honest, Evan Ruth wanted to stay behind closed doors at first, but then he thought of the "rumours of poisoning" a few days ago, and felt that avoiding Lude at such a time would be easy to be called a guilty conscience.In desperation, he could only open the door to meet the guests, and invited Lu De to come in.

The two sides met in the reception room of the temple. Evan Ruth found that Lude came alone, without any entourage, not even his two beautiful and big-breasted female apprentices. I'm thinking about something.

Don't look at Evan Ruth's wish that Lude can die suddenly suddenly, but he can't just die anywhere, at least he can't let himself stand on a bloody point.

When it was rumored that someone poisoned Lude, Evan Ruth immediately became the object of suspicion of many people.And just because no evidence could be found to prove that this matter was related to Evan Ruth, everyone became more and more suspicious of him.After all, his Goddess of the Four Seasons taught his hands and eyes to reach the sky, so Bao Buqi invited some peerless masters.

Especially after the incident, Lude, who was the first victim, tried his best to deal with it coldly and suppress the impact of the incident. In the eyes of some caring people, this incident is even more intriguing.

In short, Evan Ruth was very embarrassed by this shit. He didn't explain it to the outside world, and he didn't explain it.

Now that Lude came to visit suddenly, Evan Ruth was even more nervous than Lude who went to the meeting alone.In case this bad old man died suddenly on his own land, how would you ask him to explain it to outsiders?

"Good afternoon, Priest Luther."

"Good afternoon, Bishop Evan Ruth, ahem..."

Compared with the vigor when we first met, Lu De's current state is actually more like a normal old man in this world, standing there like a candle in the wind, crumbling.

But this weak state is obviously abnormal for a priest, and a high-ranking priest who is said to be chosen by God.

Anyone who can become a priest can not only borrow power from the gods to use, but also be blessed, which will significantly improve their physique and make them stronger and healthier than ordinary people.

Like the outbreak of the plague in Oyster Harbor this time, although some monks of various religions were infected, the priests who often had contact with the patients were all well. It is said that some guys had sex with some young and beautiful female patients under the pretext of free medical treatment. It's a super-friendship relationship, so they haven't been infected.
