Chapter 867 Gretel finally looks like a natural priest! (Tino94.94 million reward plus 1 update)

 Gretel's gossip is correct. The task assigned to him is indeed border quarantine.

Gretel took Cerela, Bernard and Appa along the Loch River at the end of the Nevis Fjord and ran all the way to the northeast of the kingdom.

At the end of the Loch River is the canal. At the end of the canal, beyond the lock, is the narrow Loch Loch. At the end of the lake, walk a little further along the river and you will reach the location of the main castle of the Earl of Inverness.

Gretel did not go to see the count, but took the map, turned left, and entered a bay. Standing on a high cliff and looking down, looking in, there was a river that gradually became thinner and narrower;

Towards the coast, there is a big trumpet...

"This place looks so familiar! It looks similar to the place where I met Senior Brother Carlisle!"

The sea breeze blew against his face. Gretel's soft hair was blown into a mess. He tugged on his hood and told Cerela with nostalgia: "This is it!"

"At that time, we were chased by people from the Holy See. After crossing the river, we were blocked on a cliff... At that time, Bernard was seriously injured trying to protect me. I was just a first-level mage, so I used all the methods

It was all gone, and I almost died!"

"At that time, he also killed a ninth-level knight." Bernard said quietly:

"Killing level nine at one level is considered to be the pinnacle of his fighting power in his life... After all these years, I estimate that if he really takes action, he won't even be able to beat me!"

"Facing the enemy head-on is the same as being caught by surprise!" Gretel opened his eyes wide and argued hard:

"Is it the same as taking advantage of my opponent's defenseless defense and having no defense at all and blasting him with magic while I'm defenseless and giving you a sneak attack in the woods? If I put on all my defenses and you rush over with a big stick from the opposite side, it's okay.

If you can’t hit me, okay!”

Cerira kept laughing. She laughed for a long time, waved her hand meaningfully, and comforted Grete:

"Oh, oh. Anyway, you are just a therapist, and you don't have to fight with others head-on. If you can beat me, then fight. If you can't, then you still have me!"

Gretel: "..."

Why do I feel like I am not comforted at all...

After looking at the overall layout, Grete took Cerela and others and strolled down the mountain to the isolation camp on the edge of the bay. From a distance, he saw a group of soldiers holding spears and lined up in a row vigilantly. Seeing them

, bowed deeply from afar:

"Master Mage! Are you here for inspection?"

Gretel sighed slightly.

Most of the soldiers in front of them only wore a tweed coat, with a bare head or a duffel felt hat; only the captain wore a leather armor. The spear in his hand had a slightly crooked pole, and its combat effectiveness was very doubtful...

Judging from his appearance and equipment conditions, he is no different from his status as a low-level city guard when he first came to this world.

"I was assigned by the parliament to come here to inspect the situation in the quarantine area." He jumped off the Appa and handed over a certificate. The captain who approached to talk did not answer, but leaned on his spear and bowed deeply for the second time:

"Master Mage, please wait a moment, we will call the presiding spell caster to come over. I'm very sorry, we can't read."

"It's okay, let's go." Gretel waved his hand good-naturedly. Behind the captain, a young soldier ran inside. Gretel was idle and asked casually:

"Are you the Parliament's army? Or the Earl's?"

"We are soldiers of the count. Your honorable sir. We are blocking the road here under the order of the count. No one is allowed in or out without permission."

"Oh? What about here? Was it also built by the earl?"

"Yes!" After saying this, the captain's chest puffed up and his face glowed with pride:

"People from our village helped to build it! This year's harvest is not good. By building this, the workers can be fed and can take half a catty of wheat home! The women and children helped deliver water and food, and weaved mats.

A basket can also take care of food!”

Gretel couldn't help but smile. He asked leisurely and learned that the epidemic prevention camp in this area was a collaboration between the Parliament and the Earl of Inverness:

The Parliament encircled an area in the earl territory as an isolation and epidemic prevention camp. The earl recruited a large number of surrounding residents and built some houses or shacks in the camp for the isolation of people;

A group of soldiers were dispatched to surround several isolation points, especially blocking the roads to prevent the quarantined people from escaping;

The port was dredged, the shipyard was renovated, and an additional group of soldiers were dispatched to the port to transport fresh water. Outsiders were not allowed to enter or exit...

After talking about this, the presiding mage of the isolation point has quickly come out to pick up the person. The person who came is a second-level mage in his thirties, who looks more like an accountant than a mage. Of course, even a low-level mage cannot bear the responsibility.

Accounting work is all about playing around.

He has been working hard here for more than a month. He is responsible for drawing up plans based on the overall epidemic prevention requirements, instructing the villagers to build sheds, dig ditches, and arrange various food expenses. After more than a month, he has been so busy that his clothes have become wider.

Gretel walked around the epidemic prevention point. It can be seen that this epidemic prevention point is designed for the poor. There are independent long houses, each of which can accommodate about 20 people, and are separated from each other by at least two meters;

In addition to the large number of houses gathered together, there are also several small houses located far on the other side of the isolation point. It seems that the purpose is to separate the sick and healthy people as much as possible;

The toilet was specially dug, and a cement foundation was used around it to prevent leakage. Gretel had an idea for himself, thinking of cement, and secretly gave a thumbs up;

Coming from the port, there are two large houses on the left and right. According to the host master, this is to allow the refugees to take a bath, change clothes, and remove lice and fleas from their bodies...

Grete laughed while listening. Behind him, Cerela lowered her voice and whispered to Bernard and Appa:

"These are all designed by Gretel! Isn't it great! I wrote all these requirements for him!"

Gretel didn't look back, put his hands behind his back, and quietly gave Cerela a thumbs up.

I have to admit that the arrangements for the isolation zone are quite good. Of course, Gretel learned from the conversation with the presiding mage that the Earl of Inverness was not without reward for his hard work:

First of all, a large number of warships from the Parliament and a large number of warships from the Netherlands docked at the port of Inverness for repairs. These costs would naturally fall into the earl's pocket;

Secondly, the parliament sent people there. Although most magic items can be brought by oneself, there are always some food, drink, and low-end materials that must be purchased locally. These demands naturally add income to the earl territory;

Thirdly, don’t the bread, vegetable soup, and firewood that the quarantined persons eat need to be purchased locally?

Finally, the civilians, farmers, and craftsmen who disembarked here and stayed in the isolation camp... The Parliament will naturally take away a group, and the Earl of Inverness can also divide a group.

In contrast, just by setting aside a territory and providing manpower to help with the work, the earl made a lot of money! He made a lot of money!

Of course, Grete's design was not complete. At the very least, he had not considered security work or, in other words, this kind of thing. He decisively passed the blame to the council, euphemistically saying that professional people do professional things.

Now it seems that there are professionals who have done the job for him. A small building has been built in each of the four corners of the small village in the east, south, west, and north, which is enough to overlook the entire village. The presiding mage introduced:

"I live in the building on the west side... The building on the east side is the largest and is where the guards live. They are responsible for guarding the brazier on the top floor and guiding the ships... The south side is where supplies are stored, transported, and distributed. They are sent by the count.

People live in the north, and herbalists live in the north..."

"Then where do we live?"

Serila asked quietly from behind. The presiding mage immediately felt embarrassed: "This... I will live downstairs and let the upstairs go..."

Oh no! Oh no!

They said that the higher-ups would send people to patrol, but they didn’t say that there were so many people coming!

An 8th level mage, a barbarian, and an elf beauty! There are only two rooms upstairs, well, that should be enough for them to live in, right?

Will that elf beauty fall out?

"Hey, we won't bother you."

Gretel smiled. He turned back to look at Cerela:

"Let's live in the mage's hut. It's comfortable to live in something you summoned by yourself. Isn't it better than living in these small houses?"

Cerira tilted her head and thought for a while, and actually agreed. Gretel continued to move forward:

"Can you show me the surrounding defenses? The main thing is that in this area, people inside must be guaranteed to be allowed in and out under necessary conditions, and no one can escape..."

"No problem, no problem!" The presiding mage immediately took him to the side:

"Fences have been erected around the village, and there are guards guarding every intersection. No one is allowed in or out. When the refugees come here, they don't know the terrain, what cities are around them, and they don't know the people. They have no food or drink. They must be

Don’t dare to run away!”

That's not necessarily the case... Grete thought silently. Especially when groups were locked in a room and not allowed to go out for several days;

Especially when some people are infected with the plague and fall ill one after another;

Especially when sick people are dragged out of their residences, I don’t know where they go, what kind of treatment they will receive, whether they are alive or dead, I don’t know...

Under such circumstances, the refugees who are isolated in the quarantine camp are anxious and frightened, and there is a very high probability that someone will stir up trouble, rush out of the house, or even rush out of the camp!

Why did the medical staff try their best to comfort the patients in the shelter in the previous life, and led them to do Tai Chi, aerobics, and do all they could? It was scary for the patients to make trouble, let alone a group of healthy people!

"We need to add some protection." He whispered. Without waiting for the presiding mage to ask, he knelt down on one knee and pressed it on the ground beside the fence:

Grow taller. If you still have energy, if you can hear my voice, please grow thicker, deeper and taller.

Yes, it will grow to the height of a human head, and then some. Then, thorny vines, please wrap them up to add a layer of protection to the fence so that those who want to climb can't grab their hands.

There are also dots of weeds inside the campground...

With his eyes closed, he reviewed the skills he was currently using from the memories he received from his senior masters after receiving the oak staff, from the knowledge he received from the oak trees at the place of inheritance on Aioland Island:

The weeds in the camp, especially the weeds growing around the houses. Please listen to my prayer, adjust the way they grow, and emit a quiet fragrance:

Let those who smell it, and those who are in the house, feel at peace and free from fear and anxiety...

"Wow... Gretel, you finally look like a natural priest!"

Amidst the swaying scent of grass, Cerela whispered in praise.
