Chapter 873 Gretel Finally Looks Like a Natural Priest! (Tino94.94 Million Reward Plus 1 Update)

Gretel's gossip was correct. The task he was assigned was 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, and at the end of the canal, beyond the lock, is the long and narrow Lake Loch. At the end of the lake, and walking a little further along the river, you will arrive at the main castle of the Earl of Inverness.

Grete did not go to see the count, but took the map and turned left into a bay. Standing on a high cliff and looking down, looking inwards, there is a river that gradually becomes 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 blows on my 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’s all gone, 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 so many years, I estimate that if he really takes action, he won't even be able to beat me!"

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

"When the opponent is defenseless and has no defense at all, and uses magic to attack him unexpectedly, it's the same as me being 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 won't be the same. If you can’t hit me, okay!”

Cerira couldn't stop laughing. After laughing for a long time, he waved his hands meaningfully and comforted Grete:

"Oh, oh. You are just a therapist anyway, 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 Serira and others and strolled down the mountain. Arrive at the quarantine camp on the edge of the bay. From a distance, I saw a group of soldiers holding spears and standing in a row vigilantly. Seeing them, he bowed deeply from afar:

"Master Mage! Are you here for inspection?"

Grete let out a small sigh.

Most of the soldiers in front of them only wore tweed coats and bare heads - or wore tweed felt hats; only the captain wore leather armor. The spear in my hand is a bit crooked, and its combat effectiveness is very questionable...

Judging from his appearance and equipment, he was no different from his status as a lowly 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 APA and handed over a certificate. The captain who stepped forward 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, go ahead." Grete waved his hand good-naturedly. Behind the captain, a young soldier ran inside. Gretel was also idle and asked casually:

"Are you the parliament's army? Or the count's?"

"We are soldiers of the Earl. Your Excellency. On the order of the Earl, we are blocking the road here. No one is allowed to enter or exit 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 build it! This year's harvest is not good. By building this, the workers can have enough to eat and take half a catty of wheat home! The women and children helped deliver water and meals, and made 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 earldom as an isolation and epidemic prevention camp. The earl requisitioned 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 repaired, and an additional group of soldiers were dispatched to the port to transport drinking water. Outsiders were not allowed to enter or exit...

At this point in the conversation, the presiding mage of the isolation point has quickly come out to pick up the people. The person who came was a second-level mage in his thirties, who looked more like an accountant than a mage. Of course, no matter how low-level the magician is, he can do it well if he takes on accounting work.

He has been working here for more than a month, responsible for drawing up planning drawings according to the overall epidemic prevention requirements, guiding villagers to build sheds, dig ditches, and arrange various food expenses. After more than a month, I have been so busy that my clothes have become wider.

Grete 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, separated by at least two meters from each other;

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, apparently to separate the sick and healthy people as much as possible;

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

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

Grete laughed as he listened. Behind her, 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 arrangement of the isolation zone is quite good. Of course, Gretel learned from the conversation with the presiding mage that the Earl of Inverness was not unpaid for his hard work:

First, 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 expenses will naturally fall into the earl's pocket;

Secondly, the council sent people over. Although most magic items can be brought with you, there are always some food, drink, and low-end supplies that need to be purchased locally. These demands naturally added income to the earldom;

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

last of the last. The civilians, farmers, 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 share the profits.

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

Of course, Gretel's design was not complete. At the very least, he had not considered security work—or, in other words, he decisively passed the blame on the parliament for this matter, euphemistically saying that professional people do professional things.

Now it seems that there are professionals who have taken over the job for him. A small building was built in each of the four corners of the small village, east, south, west, and north, which is enough to overlook the entire village. Introduction by the presiding mage:

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

"Then where do we live?"

Cerira asked quietly from behind. The presiding mage immediately felt embarrassed: "This...I will live downstairs and give up the upstairs..."

Oh no! Oh no!

They said they would send people from above to patrol, but they didn’t say there were so many people coming!

A level 8 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 looked back at Cerela:

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

Serila tilted her head and thought for a moment, and actually agreed. Grete 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... Gretel thought silently. Especially when groups are 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 homes, I don’t know where they go, what kind of treatment they will receive, I don’t know whether they are alive or dead, I don’t know...

Under such circumstances, the refugees who are isolated in the quarantine camp are very likely to be incited by someone to cause a collective riot, rush out of the house, or even rush out of the camp when they are anxious and frightened!

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 and aerobics to the best of their ability? It's scary for patients to make trouble, let alone a group of healthy people!

"You need to add some protection." He said softly. 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 grows to the height of a human head, then a little taller. Then, thorny vines, please wrap them around to add a layer of protection to the fence so that those who want to climb can't get their hands on it.

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

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, and from the knowledge he received from the oak trees at the place of inheritance on Aioland Island:

Weeds in the campground, especially those growing around the houses. Please listen to my prayer, adjust the way you grow, and emit a quiet and delicate fragrance:

Let those who smell it, and those who are in the house, have peace of mind and be free from fear and anxiety...

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

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