Chapter 213 Neverwinter Undercurrent
Without steel and cement, it gives people the feeling that it took several years or even decades to build a castle in the Middle Ages, but the facts and imaginations seem to be somewhat different.
As long as Chen Yan's money is in place, the fossils into mud and [sils into stone] scrolls were transported to the construction site, and the fortress ruins were then leveled at a speed visible to the naked eye and converted into a large area of flat and regular rock foundation.
So in Feiren, digging tunnels has no future.
Then everyone withdraws and blocks the scene. Shen Yan will draw the magic circle on the foundation alone, filling the magic metal - this will determine what kind of magic effect the fortress will have in the future, and it is no less important to the fortress than the solid foundation.
...After that, Chen Yan did something he thought was more important - he buried a piece of copper stone in the reserved stone pit at the center of the entire area - and solemnly declared: "This place will belong to (ambiguous) inherent territory regardless of past, present or future!"
Okay, now all forces are welcome to attack.
Smile.

The emergence of plague patients in Wudong City one after another did cause some chaos, but these chaos did not spread as Deszel expected.
This puzzled Deszel, because it was completely different from the effect of his experiment in Luscan, and he had to go deep into the port area and the lower city area in the name of preaching to check the situation - generally speaking, the best environment for the plague to spread is always a slum, because the slum area has a harsh environment, dense people, poor sanitation conditions, and no timely treatment for illness. The poor's idea of "you can get better by sleeping a night" will greatly increase the probability of the virus spread.
But after he arrived at the port area and the lower city area, he found that this place was completely different from the slums in Luscan...
The poor here often take baths and drink boiled water! Moreover, the areas they live in are cut into semi-enclosed areas of large and small! This greatly curbed the spread of the virus! Although Feren's virology has not yet been formed, it has already taken some primitive prototypes, and it is common sense to spread plagues by dead animals.
Aside from the standpoint, Deszel is definitely one of the most virology masters these days.
However, it was not until Deszel went to the slums with his own eyes that he truly realized how great the effect this method had on curbing the spread of the plague!
"Why is this happening?"
At that moment, Deszel really matched Chen Yan's soul, and he was all in a state of trouble and could not get rid of his sister...
After he made in-depth investigations, he found that all this originated from the huge investment made by Judge Arribes in the Lower City more than a decade ago.
When Arrebes announced that he would invest in Lower City, facing the negotiations of "leaders" in Lower City, her attitude was full of aristocratic arrogance and the indifference of the guardian of the law - but the poor were still extremely grateful for this, because Arrebes was the only superior who faced them since the establishment of Wu Winter City.
At that time, Arribes only made three decisions with these people:
The first condition is that slums need to clear out well-connected roads, and the standard is that enough noble carriages can easily pass through. Therefore, the once mixed shantytowns were quietly divided into independent "blocks", and both disease transmission and fire were restricted.
The second condition is that all poor people who are likely to come into contact with nobles must first wash away the "stench on their bodies". If the smell on their bodies makes the noble people feel uncomfortable, the noble people have the right to whip or even execute the poor people directly.
The aristocratic businessmen were always the first to learn, and they immediately asked every civilian who was approaching to have their own creation. The pursuit of progress made everyone actively jump into the water to clean themselves first. Over time, this became another custom in the slums, even in winter, many people insisted on taking a bath in the river.
Later, this became "a joke in Wudongcheng", and bathing became a benchmark for measuring the status of both parties. People with high status were proud of others having to take a bath before they could meet him. There were dozens of disputes arising from bathing every year - if Nasher said to someone, "You can come to see me without taking a bath", it would be possible to bring a sword to the palace, causing a heart-wrenching incident.
The third condition that Sister A mentioned is to drink hot water.
Wudongcheng is located in the volcanic belt, and there are hot springs that are rolling out all year round nearby, but the taste is not good. In the past, no one has ever drunk it. Now Sister A directly says, "Drinking hot water will make you sick less, drinking hot water will cure all diseases." Anyway, rich people see a doctor when they are sick, while poor people drink hot water when they are sick.
Over time, everyone thought it was normal. Poor people did not get much sicker when drinking hot water.
As more than ten years passed, people naturally discovered that Aribes was good, but the strange reasons at the time were remembered as jokes. It can be said that Aribes entered the Lower City more than ten years ago by investment, but now by the kindness left behind, unobstructed in the Lower City.
When these investigations were made clear, Deszel was really confused. Was all this intentional or unintentional?
If Aribes predicted that there was a plague in Wudong City more than ten years ago and prepared in advance, he would never believe it! Because even the gods could not make such a prophecy out of nothing! Because more than ten years ago, the Queen of Reptiles had just found the way to return to Feiren. She looked dark and was still carefully testing the attitude of the big guys, begging the big guys not to slap her to death.
At that time, there was no plan to spread the plague...it was all about Deszel's loyalty to the Queen of Reptiles.
And unlike the infectious diseases on Earth, the infectious diseases in the magical world depend to a greater extent on the divine power of the goddess of plague.
Deszel finally realized that he was not a historian—the history of Wu Winter City was related to his bird's business!
Although the experiment found that the spread of plague in the lower city was difficult, the Heihu area where the nobles lived seemed not difficult.
Because it can afford expensive spices, the nobles do not take baths all year round; the city area of Wu winter is narrow and lacks planning, and a large amount of land is occupied by temples, palaces, etc., so the population density of the nobles is also quite high; the most important point is that the nobles are too corrupt and degenerate... Under the bright surface, what is hidden is extremely dirty.
Not to mention the plague, if a young nobleman brought the drugs into the Black Lake area, maybe half of the people would be infected with STDs in a month, which shows the degree of chaos... As we often say, "This is like a big family."
You can never guess who slept with whom last night...

"It turns out to be like this?" Shen Yan was so shocked that he didn't know what expression to use. "Aribes, will this affect you?" The few people who died in the noble area must have a different influence than the few people who died in the lower city area.
"Of course not, they have money to hire a priest." Eribes complained without expression...
Deszel hid very deeply, and he stayed in the Temple of Heim every day, and tried his best to treat the patients who came to the hospital. Now, even the nobles themselves would not have thought of a terrible disease like a plague.
Chen Yan once went to a hotel in Duncan, Hong Kong to find Kelge to drink, but found that they left in a hurry a few days ago.
As the silver sword fragments were found more and more, the Demigod Shadow King was forced to fight (this sword is a magical weapon that can really kill him). The Shadow King asked his believer, Lu Skan's fifth tower, to incite a border conflict with Wu Dong City, and then sent a special envoy to Wu Dong City that threatened war.
The special envoy brought two requests. First, he thoroughly investigated the massacre of the Luscan border village (actually Luscan did it himself and framed the second-generation protagonist Arthur); second, he immediately stopped the construction of the intersection fortress!
That is, the fortress on Chen Yan's current fiefdom - Chen Yan's construction speed not only shocked Nasher, but also scared Luscan...
Otherwise, war!
The undercurrents in Wudong City were surging for a moment. Luscan's series of actions attracted everyone's attention and also obscured Deszel's secret experiment.
Under pressure, the progress of the crossroads fortress was paused.
Chen Yan pretended to be indignant and threw two rotten eggs in front of the Luscan Embassy every day, shouting slogans such as "If you want to fight, I will fight" and making a hawkish look...
Then he went home happily to chat with his sister about the mountains, and by the way he could receive a private apology from Lu Skan—
"Brother, it's really not targeting you. We just have dates but no dates. The goal is peace! Please calm down for a while, our ambassador was smashed by rotten eggs... and they are all bald."
