The people from the church settled us in the dining area and didn't bother us again, probably because they were afraid of our identities. In an organization like the church, there is absolute repression between superiors and subordinates, and if you offend us, you will probably die.
As for why I call this a dining area instead of a restaurant... of course it's because this place is too simple and doesn't look like a restaurant at all. This so-called dining table is just a few rough wooden boards placed on a wooden shelf, even
None of them are guaranteed to be flat. As for chairs, there are no chairs, but long, squiggly benches. This kind of configuration is considered luxurious in this world. Without productivity and aesthetics, things in this world are even
It's not as good as the Middle Ages on Earth.
About an hour later, it was so slow, the nuns came with the food. Fortunately, although these things did not look good, they were not roasted and blackened unknown objects, and they had been cut well. Except for the meat,
In addition, there are coarse bread and vegetables cooked in a mess. Of course, I don’t know whether it is vegetables or grass. The world may not be so clear at all. I just told them that the food does not need to be too rich, just an ordinary daily level.
But now it seems that these people are still disobedient and gave us all their best things. There was even a crooked glass bottle with half a bottle of turbid liquid in it. I guess it might be wine. This church
You actually drink? Shouldn’t you not eat or drink in order to hone your body and mind in order to transcend the world?
"The god of this world is the God of Fire. In principle, people are encouraged to use all conditions to transform the environment, so eating and drinking does not violate the precepts."
"Huh? It sounds like this divine religion is still a representative of advanced ideas?"
"Although it is a bit ridiculous, the Vulcan Cult does have the most advanced ideas in this world."
"Then why is the development still so bad?"
"Because their advanced ideas are limited to the church and have not been extended to the whole world."
"I understand, just like the technological stagnation of humans on earth after entering the 21st century, all countries are working behind closed doors and cannot integrate the most advanced resources at all."
"That's why the churches here also ignore the role of civilians. They believe that there is not much difference between civilians and domestic animals, they just have personal identities."
"I'm convinced, how dare you say it's the most advanced?"
"This is the fact. Those noble lords don't even have an organized army."
"Oh~ It's such a miserable place. It's so uncomfortable to stay here."
Ai-chan didn't answer any more. She was actually a goddess, so naturally she wouldn't say those words to comfort me. I knew the purpose of my sisters throwing me into this world, so I could only adjust my emotions by myself.
"Amy, Amy~~~Is this really edible?"
The poplar flowers beside me poked my waist.
"This doesn't look normal."
"But I lose my appetite just looking at it! And I have a bad feeling about it!"
"What a premonition."
"There's something wrong with this thing."
"What's the problem? Do you think they still dare to poison us? Does this make sense?"
"It's not poison. Even if it's poisonous, we're not afraid... I'm talking about something else. I think there's something wrong with the meat."
"If something is wrong, don't tell me just by opening your mouth."
I looked at Yesha, and the child nodded to me, indicating that she didn't think there was anything wrong with the food. The locals didn't feel the same, so it was probably because Yanghua, as a person from another world, still couldn't accept such rough food.
It's food, so it's not pleasing to the eye no matter what. But having said that, this Yesha is really restrained. She didn't move even if I didn't let her eat.
"Amy, what kind of meat are these? They are also messy animals, right? Are you sure these things are edible?"
"People in this world eat these things."
"No, I want to ask where the meat comes from? It can't be caught from the wild, right?"
"Um?"
Yanghua's words suddenly reminded me that I had never thought about the origin of this meat! If it were an animal caught from an epidemic area, wouldn't eating it mean seeking death? It seems that the temperature of ordinary cooking cannot eliminate the plague at all!
"Amy, I have read the history of the plague, and it said that people at that time did not know that rats could spread the plague, so..."
"Stop talking, you found the key problem. I'm also curious about where they can get so much meat in this situation, and there is no breeding industry. I asked this kid before, but I didn't take it to heart at all. I guess they were just catching people nearby.
If you run away to catch an animal after you finish catching it, the animals over there may not be so clean."
"Then what should we do!"
"What can I do? Remind them. Yesha, don't eat it yet."
I patted Yesha on the head and told her not to eat anything. She shook her head obediently.
"Is there anyone? Someone is here."
The nuns left after serving the food. At least I didn't see anyone standing by, so I could only shout for them. I believed they must be hiding nearby. Sure enough, as soon as I shouted, someone appeared.
"Sister Amy, what are your instructions?"
The nun walked in from the door with a respectful attitude. I noticed that she moved her mouth for a few seconds but did not make a sound. That must be Ai-chan's filtering rules taking effect.
"Where did this meat come from?"
I'm too lazy to beat around the bush and get straight to the point.
"These meats were brought back by hunters who took risks to hunt. There is not much food in the city now, and meat is very precious. Generally, only the knights of the church can..."
"Stop eating, burn all meat and animal carcasses immediately, and everyone will become vegetarian from now on."
"Ah? Sister Amy, what are you..."
Sister Chen was surprised when I interrupted.
"Did you know that plague can also be transmitted from animals to humans?"
"What? Isn't the plague transmitted from person to person? We know that the plague can pollute the environment, and we also prohibit people from going to contaminated areas..."
"Then didn't you find that all the animals were infected and died?"
"Of course we found it, but the animals we captured were all alive. If they are alive, doesn't it mean that they are not infected with the plague..."
"You are wrong. The resistance of wild animals is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Although they have no faith, their physical fitness is enough to support them to survive for many days after being infected, and they will not get sick and die immediately. Animals also have ways to avoid the plague.
Instinct, and their ability to move is very strong, the animals you caught probably ran away from the epidemic area."
"this……"
"You didn't give this meat to other people, I mean civilians."
"Of course not! These meats will only be provided to knights, and will never be distributed to civilians, I swear!"
Sister Chen suddenly seemed very panicked, even more panicked than after learning that animals spread the plague. What's going on?
"That's really a blessing among misfortunes. Fortunately, knights generally have faith and can resist the plague. I now order you to destroy all meat and animal carcasses. This is the first thing to do."
I imitated Reimei and said in a dominant tone.
"But, in this case, the knight will not have enough physical strength..."
"Do you want this city to become a place that needs to be cleaned up? If not, just do as I say. My trip this time is not only to inspect the epidemic, but also to convey the latest decree of the church."
"The latest decree?"
As soon as the church was mentioned, Sister Chen's resistance immediately weakened a lot.
"Yes, I will tell you the latest method of dealing with the plague later."
I looked calm, just like a true messenger conveying my will.
