Chapter 146 Water Source
Since you have chosen to stay.
The work of these candidates began.
The first step was to check whether the residents in Boyak had any latent symptoms, and then to tidy up the street garbage and urban sanitation.
The source of Luo Saiqiao's infection has not yet been identified, so they have to approach it from all aspects and cannot be careless at all.
Lu Yi was still somewhat curious about the "bird-beak doctor's" robe. Nowadays, many years after the epidemic had disappeared, such clothes had only appeared in books.
The silver bird-beak mask is made with simple craftsmanship, without any patterns or decorations, and its gray color brings out a sense of silent heaviness.
"Is this useful?" Gary said inexplicably.
Father Heller said, "At least it's better than nothing."
You should know that the robe of this "bird-beaked doctor" was made by them overnight by copying the original.
The epidemic has disappeared for so many years, where can we still find such clothes?
Fortunately, the silver reserves in the city of Boyak are still sufficient, otherwise even the equipment of this bird-beaked doctor could not be produced in time.
"Okay." Considering that there have been no cases in Boyak so far, Gary reluctantly put on the black robe of the bird-beaked doctor.
Lu Yi held the cold silver bird-beak mask, as if he was looking through the sharp beak into another era when the Black Death was rampant.
"How many people died from the Black Death in history?" Gary put on the bird-beak mask and asked suddenly as if casually.
Lu Yi was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Three years, nearly 30 million people."
Thanks to the "three highs buff", Lu Yi's memory is amazingly good, and he can remember clearly what he learned for the exam.
Gary fell silent after hearing this, as if he was comforting Rand, or as if he was comforting himself.
"It doesn't matter. Since the Pope who was the Holy Son back then was able to expel the Black Death, then the Pope of today can do the same."
Thinking of the strange spell patterns on the body of the deceased, Lu Yi did not answer immediately. After a moment, he said, "I hope so."
Callisto
It's best if you don't get involved in this matter.
"Let's go and sweep the streets." Lu Yi held the bird-beak mask in both hands and slowly put it on.
"What do you mean by street sweeping? Can you put it in a more pleasant way? We call this patrolling!"
"It's all the same..."
…
Although the permanent population of Pauillac is not as large as that of the big city-states, the main streets are also bustling and crowded.
But ever since the news of the outbreak of the epidemic in Luo Saiqiao spread, the once bustling streets were suddenly empty, with no trace of residents.
Only a few people in black robes with bird-beak patterns were moving silently.
"Is the inspection over?" Lu Yi asked.
He and Gary are both fourth-level light mages. Given their levels, they both acted alone in order to improve the efficiency of patrols in the city.
Gary nodded, his long beak bobbing up and down.
"But there are several sealed water sources that show signs of being used. Although we tried our best to restore them afterwards, the seals were still different from the sealing methods of the Vatican."
Before the specific source of infection is identified, the water source is also an extremely important observation point.
From the first day of martial law in Pauillac, people from the Vatican have repeatedly emphasized that people should not drink unclean water.
They specially sent out the Master of Light to purify several water sources to ensure that the residents in the city would not have no drinking water, but they did not expect that some people would still go to the unpurified water sources to fetch water.
Lu Yi remembered that he had just accidentally run into a tall man fighting for a woman's water source.
He protected the woman, but behind her there were many more weak people whose clean water had been robbed.
“Don’t we have enough purified water sources?” Gary asked.
It is not enough to purify the water source once. In order to ensure the cleanliness of the water, the Vatican has to frequently send people to purify the water source.
Limited manpower and the cost of maintenance mean that not all water sources can be purified.
"People are greedy." Lu Yi said, "Most of the residents of Boyak are simple and warm, but not all of them are so friendly."
What’s more, we are in danger.
"What should we do? Let them drink it like this?"
Lu Yi shook his head, "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey."
He does not advocate absolute power, but when necessary, iron-fisted measures will work.
The Holy See is short of manpower, but it is only short of high and middle-level mages. There have always been many ordinary people serving the Holy See.
Since he wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, Lu Yi did not show any mercy. After getting the approval of March and Heller, he gave orders one after another.
After the martial law was imposed in Pauillac, a non-gathering unilateral meeting was held every once in a while, using magic as a carrier to ensure that the entire city-state could hear the speech.
At this meeting, Lu Yi had his men and women, who often robbed other people of their water, stand on a high platform.
There was no one below the platform, and on top of it he was wearing a bird-beak mask with an expressionless face.
There was a little snow today, falling on his cold silver bird-beak mask, making Lant's slightly exposed light amber eyes look even colder.
"Today, there is something that everyone needs to know." Lu Yi said.
“The Vatican purified the water source to ensure that the residents of Pauillac would not be persecuted by polluted water sources and would not suffer from hunger and thirst due to lack of drinkable water.
"Each water source corresponds to a fixed number of people, and the allocated amount is enough to get by. If there are legitimate special circumstances, you can also apply to the Vatican for more clean water.
"But despite this, there are still people who are not satisfied!"
His eyes fell on the trembling people, and he read out their names one by one. His voice was cold and serious, and it was transmitted to the ears of everyone in Boyak through magic.
"...These people robbed others of their water sources and even forced them to drink unclean sewage!"
“I don’t want to sound too harsh, but people like this are not isolated cases.
“I just want to ask, have those who are grabbing water resources ever thought about the consequences of their actions?
"Is there any benefit for you to force those who have no drinkable water to drink dirty water?!" Lu Yi asked sternly.
"Once people who drank the sewage showed symptoms of the plague, or even contracted the plague, our entire Pauillac would be doomed!"
"Luo Saiqiao next door said that in just a few days, the number of sick residents in the city has increased from one-third to more than half! What a terrifying number! The Black Death has been absent from the human race's memory for so long that some of you only have superficial fear.
“Those who rob others of their water sources are not only bad, but also so stupid that it makes me laugh!
"Do I have to wait until the disease spreads to me before I cry and regret it?!"
Lu Yi stared straight at the people beside him.
"Is it helpful?" he whispered.
Lant's gaze was so sharp that those people lowered their heads in shame.
God of Light, they really just wanted more water. They were used to being strong and tyrannical, so they just went and robbed others without thinking about the consequences... They definitely didn't want a plague to befall Boyak!
After explaining the reason, Lu Yi continued indifferently: "The few people whose names I read just now stole the water of several people, and they had no water to drink for several days. I hope everyone can learn from this and not hold on to the fluke mentality that the Holy See will not find out."
“If it happens again, the punishment won’t be as simple as not having water to drink.
"You know how many people in Rosaic who are not sick want to take refuge in Pauillac, and I'm sure they will be happy to exchange with you.
"Pauillac, we will never tolerate bad apples."
The author has something to say:
It's not short, it's just the right size!
Super cool 61!
