The Spring Goddess Temple is deeply rooted in Heartland City. Not long after the high priest released the people, news from the outside world came back one by one.
"It was the City Guards who took away the patient!"
"The City Guards sent people to patrol the streets from house to house. If there were any patients, they were brought to the Glory Cathedral!"
"The priests of the God of Nature Order and the Temple of the God of War have all gathered in the Church of Glory!"
"It is said that the decision was made jointly by the Order of the God of Nature, the Temple of the God of War and the City Guards..."
"We saw Baron Vaughn's servant..."
The more the high priest listened, the more he frowned.
The Order of the God of Nature, the Temple of the God of War, and the City Guards, these three together always reminded him of a somewhat annoying name.
But none of that matters. The most important thing is, who is that guy talking nonsense?
"Great Priest, we have inquired-" Another attendant ran in panting:
"These ideas were all told by a man named Gretel... Gretel, the one who came to the temple last time... said it!"
"Gretel Nordmark!"
The high priest raised his eyebrows.
It's that little guy again!
It was he who came to slap me in the face;
During the Midsummer Festival, he was also the one who said to his face that he wanted to clean up the city’s water sources;
When he was treating the grandson of Master Lorenz, he was still the one who pointed fingers and taught two high-level priests as students!
That old guy Erwin spoiled his own student, and the bald bishop went crazy. Day by day, he spoiled the kid to the point of being lawless. Now, he even dares to question the gift of the spring goddess!
He slammed the table angrily: "Here comes someone! Prepare the ceremony and come with me!"
Although the idea came from the little guy, the ones who nodded behind him were definitely those two treacherous guys. A bunch of bastards! Do you want to shake the faith of the spring water goddess and take the opportunity to expand your power?
snort!
It’s not like he didn’t miss the little moves made by those two families after driving away the Lord of Glory Church!
The high priest was furious and led a group of people to the Glory Cathedral. Elder Alvin and the bald bishop naturally came out to greet them. When everyone saw each other, the high priest calmed down his anger and chatted with them casually before entering together until they entered the inner room.
After sitting down, he pointed at the two leaders of the religious sect and laughed:
"Hey, you two, what you're doing is unreasonable. - Treating a disease is all about treating the disease. Why are you not even allowed to drink the water in the fountain?"
When Gretel issued this order, it was packaged and passed down together with the words "build stoves throughout the city to boil water and supply boiling water" and "no raw water is allowed to be drunk".
It didn't matter when I thought about it at the time, but now, the high priest comes to ask questions - you say the water in the river is dirty, the water in the ditch you say is dirty, could it be that the fountain at the entrance of the temple, a water source blessed by the spring goddess, can still be dirty?
?
Can drinking cause problems?
The bald bishop moved in his seat and was about to answer. Elder Erwin stretched out his hand to stop him, looked directly into the eyes of the high priest, and said calmly:
"Empty water can easily spread diseases. - Mr. Horner, we are not targeting you, we are just thinking about the lives of the people in the city."
"But that is the sacred spring of the goddess!" The high priest frowned. Elder Erwin did not give in:
"Of course the holy spring is a holy spring. However, there are many people scooping out water, and the equipment used cannot be guaranteed to be clean. During the plague, it is better not to fetch water for the time being."
"The goddess's holy spring naturally has the ability to clean water! Erwin, you are too spoiled to that little guy. You just copy what he says? - You don't know if you will get the plague if you drink raw water.
Woolen cloth!"
Grete stood quietly next to the teacher, looking at his mouth, mouth, nose, and nose, thinking hard about the next experimental plan. When the great priest said this, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked straight at the other person. El
Elder Wen had been paying attention to him with his peripheral vision. When he saw that he wanted to speak, he raised his hand and waved forward vigorously:
"Unboiled water can easily spread the plague. - Gretel, tell me!"
"Great Priest, Bishop, Teacher." Gretel took a step forward, lowered his head slightly, and saluted the three heads of religious groups present. When he raised his head, he immediately changed from being humble and gentle to being persistent and firm:
"Whether drinking unboiled water will spread the plague, whether drinking water from the fountain will spread the plague, I have no say. You adults are here, we can do an experiment."
"Find some healthy rabbits and feed them with raw water from rivers, canals, fountains, and boiled and cooled water. After feeding, see which rabbit has diarrhea and which rabbit does not."
Gretel was confident. Anyway, he would need experimental animals for his next experiments. When the high priest came to find trouble, he simply asked him to pay for them in one go. In order to silence the high priest, he simply enriched the experimental design:
"For the sake of the accuracy of the experiment, it is recommended that the high priest send someone to buy rabbits. After buying them, they should be treated with magical magic first, and then randomly selected. When collecting water, several families can also supervise each other together to avoid exchanging water samples.
——”
Rabbits can get dysentery anyway!
snort!
"That's enough!" High Priest Horner angrily waved his sleeves. The other party had laid out everything. It would look unreasonable to walk away at this time; it would look stupid to wait here to watch people feeding rabbits. Gray
Te bowed his head in response, made a humble appearance, and whispered:
"Of course, if you are in a hurry, we can also buy rabbits——"
What answered him was a smashed money bag.
The rabbits were bought quickly. Grete marked the water samples calmly, hung labels on the rabbit cages according to the water samples, and fed the rabbits water separately. He also made a special effort to do things solidly. The dishes used for feeding water were freshly used from the steamer.
Take out one for each rabbit, never mix them.
Then, it's a long wait.
Gretel quietly left after feeding the rabbit. Elder Erwin and the bald bishop both used up their healing skills today. They were both idle. One sat on the left side of the rabbit and the other sat on the right side of the rabbit, each praying. Hall
The Great Priest sat waiting boredly until the red sun set and night fell, and then...
The rabbit has diarrhea.
Except for the few rabbits who drank the cold water, the rest, including those who drank the fountain water, began to have diarrhea one after another.
Bald Bishop: "..."
Elder Erwin: "..." Instead of bickering or blaming each other, it's really good to get a few rabbits to come out and slap them in the face!
High Priest Horner: "..."
Under the gaze of everyone, his old face looked like it had been covered in rabbit shit. He flicked his sleeves for the last time:
"The holy spring must be polluted. I will organize prayers when I go back and purify the water source - but it is absolutely impossible to prohibit people from taking water from the fountain!"
"I'm afraid it really has to be banned." Gretel strode in with a serious face. He bowed slightly to Elder Erwin:
"Teacher, many of the earlier batch of patients had taken water from the temple's fountain."
"you?!"
High Priest Horner was shocked and angry. Gretel looked at him seriously and did not give in:
