Seeing that the other party's attitude had softened, and at least he was not making trouble directly, Grete also relaxed a little. He half-turned his face and asked the healing mage behind him who breathed a sigh of relief and took two steps forward:
"Who are the people who have typhoid fever? Are there any knights? Are there any mid-level or above professionals? Have arrangements been made for isolation?"
"Most of them are sailors." The healer was making a detour - first bypassing Bernard, trying to get closer, but being swept away by Appa's tail, he retreated reflexively, and then went around from the other side. The radius of the circle drawn out
At least two meters.
There was no other way. Even though there was a master sitting on his back, he didn't dare to bet that the high-level monster would suddenly become unhappy and hit him in the face with a hoof...
Gretel simply jumped off the deer's back, patted Appa's front legs, and let him go to the side to play by himself. Then he listened to the healing mage's report:
"There were a total of three ships with 281 people. Five of them fell ill when they got off the ship, including four sailors and one knight - the knight was seriously injured. I followed the regulations and isolated the healthy people, and seven more people became ill..."
This infection rate is quite high. Grete quickly calculated, well, the incubation period of typhoid fever is usually 7 to 14 days, with a fluctuation range of 3 to 60 days.
If there are no carriers like Typhoid Mary, who detoxify for life and do not get sick for life, then generally speaking, patients in the incubation period can be found after being shut down for half a month.
While I was thinking about it, the other person couldn't wait to interrupt and add information. The knight who claimed to be a branch of the Earl's family was particularly excited:
"Those are sailors!"
"Yes, they are all sailors! We knights don't have typhoid fever!"
"The knight's physique is not seriously ill or seriously injured, how could he be defeated by such a gadget!"
Well... that makes sense. Whether the human body becomes ill after ingesting typhoid bacilli is largely related to the person's defense. If the defense is strong, typhoid bacilli cannot break through the gastrointestinal barrier, and they will not get sick.
But... this defense refers to the gastric acid barrier, not just the body. Grete looked around and raised his voice:
"So what you're saying is that sailors should be quarantined, but you knights don't have to be quarantined?"
His words spread far away with the help of amplification technology. Most of the knights in the back row had strange expressions on their faces. At the other end of the village, there was also a noise from a distance——
Obviously, the number of knights does not account for a high proportion of the total number of people. Let the knights only speak for themselves and not for ordinary sailors. That's great. How to lead people next?
Even if you are a knight, you cannot do everything yourself, and you have to have sailors help with errands! Especially on a ship, no matter how powerful a knight is, he cannot control all the sails and fire seven or eight cannons by himself...
Gretel smiled. He clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said loudly:
"First of all, let's make sure that ordinary sailors cannot resist typhoid fever. We can only minimize the possibility of infection through isolation and quarantine. Isn't that right?"
"But……"
Someone in the back row wanted to argue. Gretel interrupted:
"No but. If you want everyone to live together and wander around every day, we have no objection. But you have to know that if you do this, the number of patients will increase rapidly. Moreover, if you do not obey the management of the council, we will not
Pay the cost of treatment!”
He bent his fingers one by one:
"Treatment fees, nursing fees, funeral expenses in case of death... please pay them before leaving!"
The faces of the knights turned dark. On a ship with a hundred people, if they were quarantined, three or four might get sick. If they were not quarantined, there would be eight, nine, or a dozen, one after another.
How many times more people are sick, how many times more treatment costs, and still have to pay out of pocket? What a joke!
"Then..." Someone whispered and wanted to protest:
"Do patients need to be locked up? Good people need to be locked up too? Even us knights need to be locked up like prisoners? We are going to the tavern! We are going to visit the city! We are going to..."
"Shut up! The elf lady is here!" Someone next to him pulled him. The protester shut up immediately, and Gretel silently held back a roll of his eyes:
Very good, like this, you still want to visit the customs industry in the city? Close contact is the most likely to cause the spread of disease! Fortunately, it is controlled, if it cannot be controlled, haha...
He answered without thinking:
"First of all, typhoid fever has an incubation period, which means you have been infected but have not yet developed the disease."
"Secondly, in the early stage of typhoid fever, when the symptoms are relatively mild, you may only have a headache, fever, and dry cough. If you are not a professional healer, many people will think they have a cold."
"We don't have colds either..." The crowd continued to whisper. Gretel raised his eyes and glanced:
"Again, you knights live on the same boat as the sailors for a long time. Even if you are strong and suppressed, you may still be infected with the disease. It doesn't take a few days to make sure everyone is healthy. Let you out and the infection will spread to the city.
Are you going in?"
The crowd was murmuring and muttering, and it was obvious that some were still unconvinced. Gretel had ignored them and turned to the mage who presided over the isolation point and was responsible for treatment:
"Of course, knights and nobles must be given the treatment they deserve. Food, furnishings and bedding can be adjusted as appropriate. For dog walking, villagers can also walk the dog on their behalf, provided that it does not bite.
people--"
"No bite, no bite! Philip is very obedient!" The knight with the dog said hurriedly: "Whoever is willing to help me walk the dog, I can give you a reward! One silver coin a day, is that enough?"
Looking at the faces of the surrounding villagers and soldiers, it was obvious that enough was enough. Grete nodded with satisfaction:
"Knights are indeed physically stronger and are less likely to contract diseases. If ordinary warriors have to be quarantined for seven days, for knights, five days should be enough -"
There were suppressed cheers from the crowd. Gretel's face was straightened and he faced the crowd:
"It starts from the beginning of isolation. If you run out on your own, it starts from tomorrow."
"Of course, if the ship can leave within five days, you can leave with the ship as normal."
This combination of reprimands, threats, and small favors finally suppressed this group of people. After waiting for a few more days, the ship was finally repaired, and all the crew, except for the seriously ill one, boarded the ship collectively.
.
Grete watched the three ships sail away and breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to his residence and continued to write a summary:
"During the isolation and quarantine process, the resistance of knights and professionals to disease should be taken into consideration, and the isolation policy should be adjusted in a targeted manner... You need to go back to the headquarters to check the relevant disease records and treatment records..."
After half a month of inspection, the report was submitted to Nevis, and Grete was quickly recruited back to conduct the next phase of adjustment research.
At the same time, his relevant information also arrived in Nevis along with the returning ship, and was then passed on to the Royal Army and the Holy See Inquisition in the Netherlands.
"Gret Nordmark?" Grand Inquisitor Gravela of the Netherlands looked through the newly sent information from his subordinates, his eyes were indifferent, neither happy nor angry:
"He is an important target, and he is indeed on the list... Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with our current mission. Pass the information back and say that this blasphemer finally left Nevis. Kill him now.
good chance."
"If someone comes from behind, we can provide convenience for them."
The intelligence was rushed to the rear and passed to the rear by a special person. In about half a month, a special assassination team lurked on the ship and quietly crossed the ocean to the Kingdom of Kent.
At this time, Grete had finished a round of research and returned again to conduct a second round of inspections at the isolation point on the coast——
"That's him! It must be him who came to patrol the village! Such a big white deer, the target is too obvious, there is absolutely no way we can admit it!"
The church's spy lay on the mountain ridge, overlooking the village below, and lowered his voice to give directions to the visitor. Five operatives stood beside him, following his instructions and looking down:
A thin man with a hood on his head subconsciously wanted to huddle up even if he was standing. Only he and the spies were the closest, and several other people subconsciously stayed away from them;
The second man was tall and strong. When he stood there, his chest muscles were about to explode. He turned half sideways and talked to the old man behind him. His waist was slightly arched downward, as if he was trying to let the old man down.
Listening is less strenuous;
The third man was almost as tall as him, with two arms that looked particularly long, and his shoulders were particularly strong. He was carrying a long stick taller than a man on his back, and a gray pouch on his waist.
, looking forward, eyes like lightning;
The fourth one, that is, the old man who looks like the leader of the crowd, has his eyebrows lowered and his face full of charity. There is a long circle of rosary around his wrist. Even when he is being pointed out the target of action, he is still twisting it in circles.
move;
As for the fifth one, he was further away from everyone. He was dressed in a black robe, covering him from head to toe, and even his eyes could hardly be seen. A gust of wind came, and the cold and rotten breath on his body made people sick.
"The target has been traveling between several nearby villages during this period, for two to three days at a time." The spy's voice was quick and faintly excited:
"Calculating the time, he should be moving tomorrow. You are here by chance. There is only one road out of this village, and there is a branch road after passing the mountain pass below..."
"Should we enter the village and take action, or should we wait until he leaves the village?"
"Wait until we leave the village? We can prepare the trap first..."
The thin hooded man was the first to make suggestions. As he spoke, his fingers were rubbing and flicking rapidly. Apparently making traps and the like was his specialty. The other long-armed man nodded upon hearing this:
"Yes, it's easier to tie him up with a trap and shoot him. There are many people in the village and there are many obstacles, so it's not easy to aim."
"I don't have any objections." Another strong man said lightly. As he said this, he touched the long sword on his back with his backhand - the thick horse-killing sword can be swung to pieces, and it is the same wherever it is struck.
.
Two votes were in favor and one abstained, which was basically a foregone conclusion. Everyone looked at the leading old man, just waiting for him to speak. Unexpectedly, the last man in black robe suddenly spoke:
"Confused!"
