Chapter 876 Where Should We Kill Gretel?
"How many people have typhoid?"
Seeing that the other party's attitude softened, and at least he stopped causing trouble directly, Grete also softened his tone 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 they been quarantined?"
"Most of them are sailors." The healer was making a detour - first going around Bernard, trying to get closer, but was swept away by Appa's tail, reflexively retreating, and then going around from the other side. The circle drawn out has a radius of 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 edge to play by himself. Listen to the therapist’s report again:
"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. In accordance with the regulations, I isolated the healthy people and lived in isolation, but 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 jump in 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 injured, how could he be defeated by such a gadget!"
Hmm... that's not unreasonable. Whether the human body becomes ill after ingesting typhoid bacilli is largely related to the person's defenses. With strong defense, typhoid bacilli cannot break through the gastrointestinal barrier and will not get sick.
But...this defense refers to the gastric acid barrier, not just the body. Gretel 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 and wide with the help of amplification technology. Most of the knights in the back row had strange expressions on their faces. And at the other end of the village, from a distance, there was also a noise——
It was obvious that the number of knights did not account for a high proportion of the total number of people. But let the knights only speak for themselves and not for ordinary sailors. Very good. How to bring people next?
Even if you are a knight, you can't do everything yourself, and you still need sailors to help with the errands! Especially on a ship, no matter how powerful a knight is, he cannot control all the sails and fire seven or eight cannons...
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 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 must 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 We don’t bear the cost of treatment!”
He bent his fingers one by one:
"Treatment fees, nursing fees, funeral expenses in case of death...please settle the payment before leaving!"
The knights' faces turned dark. On a ship with hundreds of people, if quarantined, three or four might get sick. If not quarantined, there would be eight, nine, or a dozen, one after another.
How many times more people will get 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:
"Should the sick be imprisoned? The good people should be imprisoned too? Even us knights must be imprisoned like prisoners? We are going to the tavern! We are going to stroll around the city! We are going to..."
"Shut up! The elf lady is here!" Someone next to him pulled him. The defender shut up immediately, and Grete silently held back a look:
Very good. At this rate, you still want to visit the customs industry in the city? Close contact is the easiest way to spread diseases! Fortunately, we can control it. If we can't control it, 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 some 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 murmur. Gretel raised his eyes and glanced:
"Again, you knights live on the same ship 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. Make sure everyone is healthy and let you out to prevent the infection from spreading to the city. Are you going in?"
The crowd was chattering and muttering, and it was obvious that some people were still unconvinced. Gretel has ignored them and turned to the mage who presides over this isolation point and is 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 muffled 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 normally."
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 the seriously ill one, boarded the ship collectively.
Gretel watched the three ships sail away and breathed a sigh of relief. Return to your residence and continue writing a summary:
"During the isolation and quarantine process, the resistance of knights and professionals to diseases 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 stage 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 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 spies lay on the ridge, overlooking the village below, and lowered their voices to give directions to the visitors. Five operators stood beside him, looking down as he pointed:
A thin figure with a hood on his head, even if he was standing, he subconsciously wanted to shrink into a ball. Only he and the spies were the closest, the others subconsciously stayed away from them;
The second one was tall and strong. When he stood there, his chest muscles were about to burst his leather armor. He spoke to the old man behind him while leaning half sideways, his waist slightly arched downward, as if he was trying to make it less difficult for the old man to listen;
The third man was almost as tall as him, his arms looked particularly long, and his shoulders were particularly thick. He was carrying a long stick taller than a man on his back, and a dusty bag on his waist. His eyes were like lightning as he looked around;
The fourth one, the old man who looked like the leader of the crowd, had his eyebrows lowered and his face full of charity. There is a long circle of rosary beads around the wrist. Even when someone points out the target of action, it is still twirling in circles;
As for the fifth, it is further away from everyone. He was dressed in a black robe, covering him from head to toe, and even his eyes were almost invisible. 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 for two to three days at a time." The spy's voice was quick and faintly excited:
"Calculating the time, he should move somewhere 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 make traps first..."
The thin hooded man was the first to suggest something. As he spoke, his fingers were rubbing and flicking rapidly. Apparently making traps and the like was his specialty. Another long-armed man nodded upon hearing this:
"Yes, it would be easier to tie him up with a trap and shoot him. There are many people in the village and there are many obstacles, making it difficult 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 was enough to chop everything into pieces when swung. It was the same wherever he hit it. .
Two votes were in favor and one abstained, which is 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 said:
"Confused!"
