Ignorant people are always easily provoked. - Franz's proverb from the Revolutionary Holy Land of Europe
…
The Burns family was not unaware of what was happening in the territory. In fact, spies reported the situation at the beginning of the epidemic. However, at that time, the backbone of the Burns family, the Earl, was seriously ill and his sober time was limited.
Everything is handled by Butler Tang En. Not only is there no capable manpower around him, but even some of the Burns clan members from the side clan are a little bit ready to make a move. It is Tang En who relies on the earl's accumulated power and suppression over the years to prevent chaos in the entire territory, so he can only
Choose to seal off the Black Forest Town and the castle gate to prevent the news from leaking. As for the people in other parts of the territory, you can't care about it.
Now the consequences of this have come. Without the lord to take charge of the epidemic prevention work, the epidemic has begun to spread in various villages and towns. Almost one-fifth of the population has been infected with the plague. Fortunately, the outbreak of this plague does not seem to be severe, and only a few of them have it.
This is true for those who are weak and sick. In addition to feeling unwell, sick people can still work in the fields and move around.
This is also the reason why the plague spreads so quickly and quietly.
Hearing reports from his subordinates, a large number of people from the territory gathered outside Black Forest Town. As an old butler who had assisted his master in managing the territory for decades, Tang En quickly found out from the clues that there was someone involved.
However, the master's illness had just improved, but he did not want to worry about it and cause the illness to relapse, so he sent guards to suppress it if he was not ready.
At this time, another guard came to report.
"Lord Tang En, there are three people outside who say they are Dr. Swick's servants, requesting to enter the castle!"
When Tang En heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands and ordered the manservant below:
"Go and fetch Dr. Swick."
In his opinion, Swick, a young doctor, is undoubtedly a role model for noble children. He is excellent in both intelligence and demeanor. If he could have appeared earlier, perhaps his marriage to the Burns family would have been less of a problem than Brandon Knight.
Already.
Regarding the plague, it would be a good idea to consult with this person.
Ten minutes later, John followed the servant into the castle. After all, the laboratory was still some distance away from the castle, and it would take two or three minutes just to walk out of the castle.
"...Dr. Swick, the current situation is like this. The owner's body is still recovering. What do you think of this situation?"
Facing Butler Tang's earnest inquiry, John frowned.
"The crowds are gathering. Those people in the territory probably don't know how to defend themselves against the plague, and this plague is spread precisely through person-to-person contact. Perhaps if they are dispersed now, most of the healthy people will have been infected with the plague. The civilians are no better than the count's
If your body can sustain it for so long, if you leave it alone, there may be a large number of deaths in the Burns Territory in the next month or two!"
John said it was serious, but Tang En did not think it was an exaggeration at all, because they had already seen the severity of the plague from the earl.
"It just so happened that several of my servants arrived. They are also my apprentices and assistants. Although they are still a little less experienced, they are still confident in dealing with the early stage patients who have just been infected with the plague. It just so happens that my new treatment method is almost perfected, and it is exactly what is needed
Some patients are doing experiments. As long as the research is successful, not to mention completely solving the plague, at least those patients can be treated on a large scale. In this way, even if someone is secretly provoking it, things will not get out of hand..."
Tang En immediately laughed and said:
"That's great. There happen to be a few patients in the castle who were accidentally infected with the plague. They have been isolated by my people. They can accept your treatment because the goddess of luck is blessing them..."
Tang En did not say this before because he wanted the young doctor to focus all his efforts on the count. As for the servants who were sick, he did not care about them at all. This was also the common mentality of nobles in the Middle Ages. Aloof.
They do not regard themselves as equal beings to the inferior people below.
John also saw this, but he didn't say much. After all, the times are progressing, and it may not take a hundred or two hundred years for these nobles to change their attitudes, otherwise the rebellious peasants and emerging classes will twist the noose of the revolution.
Put it around their necks.
In fact, when John learned the seriousness of the matter from Butler Tang En, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"finally come!"
This was the change he had been waiting for.
I'm not afraid that the mastermind behind the scenes will cause trouble, but I'm afraid that he can hold back and remain still. If he doesn't take the initiative to jump out, how can I, who is unfamiliar with this place, track down the so-called mastermind? Then when the time for this plane expedition mission is over,
Even if John had all kinds of schemes and was more clever than Zhuge, there was nothing he could do against him.
The reason why John did not try his best to cure Earl Burns's illness, but chose to delay the time, was to lure out the prey and let it turn from darkness to light.
According to the art of war in previous lives, this move is called luring the snake out of its hole, or to scare the snake away from the grass.
"Now Mr. Blackhand reacted so quickly and couldn't wait to pick it out. Apparently he saw me curing or temporarily suppressing the Earl's plague, so he couldn't sit still!"
"Furthermore, in this dark period of the Middle Ages, civilians did not have any human rights at all. If they were not unable to live, and no one was secretly working together, they would not be able to think of resisting the nobles. So as long as we use the name of the Burns family
Gather all the people together, and once someone jumps out to encourage the crowd, it is estimated that nine out of ten people are the manpower arranged by the people behind the scenes, and then we can follow the clues to trace the mastermind behind the scenes."
After expressing his thoughts to Butler Tang En, a stern expression flashed across the old steward's kind face. Nobles were not philanthropists, and they would always rather kill those who violated their rights than let them go.
"Don't worry, Dr. Swick, I will arrange these..."
John nodded, and there were already servants over there bringing the three Vanderlin brothers into the castle.
Seeing the three Vanderlin brothers again, and seeing how relaxed they all were, John knew that his guess was indeed correct. This world rejects plague, and removing the plague virus from the bodies of patients is of great benefit to the world.
It is said that the act of cleaning and killing viruses will naturally receive preferential treatment from the will of the world. Maybe not much, but as long as a few more people are treated, it is enough to minimize the plane rejection of the three brothers, and then they will not be able to communicate with people in this world for the first time.
I was met with inexplicable hostility at the first impression.
After the three brothers bowed respectfully, John gave his instructions politely.
"You are here just in time. There are still some patients in the count's castle who need treatment. My experiment has reached a critical stage. Go and bring them all to the laboratory behind the castle."
Butler Tang En naturally arranged for people to help the three brothers go to the dungeon where plague patients were detained.
After watching them go down, John asked the old housekeeper again:
"Mr. Tang En, are all the materials I need ready?"
Tang En's face straightened and he said:
"Other materials are complete. I don't know if the five beasts are all collected. An adventurer happened to hunt a black bear and several wild wolves in the black forest. The tigers were also replaced by ferocious big lynxes. The elephants are only found in the south.
In terms of survival, there is no grassland in Burns Territory, so wild horses are rare. I wonder if it is feasible to replace them with strong bulls and military horses from the castle stables?"
John felt a little regretful when he heard this. After all, he still couldn't find extraordinary monsters or even spiritual beasts as materials. But at least this world is much better than the modern world, and it is not illegal to hunt these beasts.
So he nodded and said:
"It's good to be able to do this in such a short time. Yes, I'm very satisfied. Please send these to the laboratory. After all, some things are difficult to do in the castle, and I'm afraid someone will damage it."
Butler Tang En's face was serious when he heard this. Even he couldn't guarantee that Black Forest Castle would be united, not even a single spy from other forces.
