The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 260: Doing our best to meet all the requirements

By the time Abes returned to Carterburg with his new partner Bai Renchou, the situation in Carterburg had changed fundamentally from when he left.

Because the orders requested by Abes have already begun to be implemented.

The insect vomiting incident arranged by Aunt Vanna is spreading at an extremely terrifying speed.

And treating it as a violent epidemic is the strategic approach proposed by Abbes.

The first thing is to isolate the patients...

It is not difficult to set up a so-called isolation zone. Just clear out a piece of land on the edge and set up a special isolation area where patients are not allowed to leave at will.

However, for the North, or for most places in this world, the trust between officials and the people cannot be said to be non-existent, but it can only be described as a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror.

Especially since the small kingdom of Womuza is still in the midst of civil strife.

Who knows what the follow-up measures will be after the infected are separated from the healthy people and the patients' families are isolated from other social levels.

The probability is killing, killing, killing, maybe burning, burning, burning, or both.

So, even though many people knew that Lord Alvin Root was a good man, and even though many people knew that the soldiers of Carterburg were not the kind that they were very afraid of.

However, it is still very difficult to get them to report on their own. In most cases, they can only rely on the already insufficient manpower to conduct active inspections and observations.

Originally, Abe's order also included transferring suspected patients to the so-called observation and isolation area and arranging for special care.

However, due to the lack of manpower, we can only transfer them first, and these people can only take care of themselves.

After the two major isolation areas are set up, the conditions of patients in the isolation areas are checked regularly and changes in symptoms are recorded.

This will then determine whether they will be transferred to another isolation area or released back, and that will be a matter for later.

Secondly, traffic control was also arranged.

Carterburg itself has three walls. It is very easy to block the roads, set up checkpoints on the main roads and city gates, and control the flow of people.

However, the specific inspection content and pass system have not yet been worked out.

After all, there is no way to detect nucleic acid for insect vomiting...

So we had no choice but to be ruthless and implement compulsory control.

Similar to a curfew, but now it’s all day.

Also, regarding the cleaning and disinfection mentioned by Abbes.

Although it is unclear whether the spread of worm vomiting is related to these reasons, people have dealt with ordinary plagues after all.

So, use items like herbal fumigation or lime to disinfect the environment.

The clothes, bedding and other items used by the patients were burned together.

This basic method can still be implemented easily.

Alvin himself is a person who has made all kinds of preparations, so there is no need to spend time collecting herbs, lime and other items in Carter Castle. Instead, there is enough storage.

After the basic treatment of these two things, sending soldiers to disinfect public areas such as streets and large markets is a simple task that can be completed in just a matter of time.

Burning the patients' belongings wasn't that troublesome, but some unpleasant things happened during the collection process.

After all, there are only two kinds of people in Carterburg.

Either they are people doing business or coming to buy and sell, and they don't have any personal belongings such as bedding.

The other category is those who are fleeing. Their bedding is really their last belonging. Buying it from them is harder than climbing to the sky.

But in the end, it is necessary to centrally handle the items and avoid the possibility of certain transmission routes, which is something we have to do.

If there is anything that is completely silent, it is medical assistance.

----------

In the past, Matthew's presence and the king's capital always had the best things in them.

This gave him an illusion that folk pharmacists and doctors could achieve that level, and that with his guidance, through their learning and experience, they could perform surgery at that level.

But it was obvious that Abes was wrong. Even if the goal was lowered to find out the transmission route and source of the insect vomit, the talents gathered in Carter Castle were far from enough.

He realized that he had overestimated the pharmacists and physicians in Carterburg.

Although some of them are also doctors serving the army, and some others can be said to be doing similar work as Matthew in the herbal medicine business, they seem helpless when faced with an unprecedented disease.

Not everyone has the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and devote themselves to learning new content.

In order to deal with this situation, he needs some external intervention.

At this moment, calling for the intervention of the royal capital is the best way.

In Abes's opinion, although the situations were slightly different, Ivan gave him a very similar feeling to Bard, the lord of the Mud City.

If Bud can surrender to him and have a pleasant negotiation with him, then Ivan can certainly do it.

If conditions permit, the best option is to talk to Alvin and let the power of the royal capital participate in this incident.

However, the conditions just don't allow it.

----------

The conditions did not allow, so some decisions were made, which were definitely not despicable, but definitely not noble.

First of all, the problem comes from Ivan’s unwillingness to delegate power and his unwillingness to believe.

After all, on the surface, Abes was just an adventurer named Qianzhongzhan, who accepted the other party's commission regarding the missing person.

Later, because of the emergence of the insect vomiting epidemic, Ivan Root, who was concerned about the safety of Carterburg, was forced to kneel down and beg him, saying that he would swear allegiance on behalf of Carterburg.

But Abes knew very well in his heart that this situation was just a coincidence and a compromise.

It is like when the situation is critical, the monarch comes to entrust his son to someone else for a show, and the commander-in-chief of the army comes to compromise.

If you really take it seriously and confuse power with rights, then what will greet you is absolute resistance.

Ivan thought that he was just a passing adventurer and would not stay for long, so he said that, because after the problem was solved, he would still be the leader of Carterburg and would still be able to preserve the power of Carterburg in troubled times.

Just like in the feudal dynasties, the monarchs dared to delegate power to eunuchs because they had no descendants. No matter how much they did, it would only make the people suffer and would only serve to check and balance the court, but it would be impossible for them to change the dynasty.

The reason why he still had this thought even after kneeling down to pledge allegiance was not because Alvin was a power-hungry person.

It was simply because he had witnessed the ridiculous operations of the bureaucrats and would never easily trust any outsider, or any "superior" or "angel" from the royal capital.

He didn't even want to believe his own "nephew" Soran, let alone Abes's words?

It can be said that the more Alvin wants to protect the people of Carterburg, the more he will act like a power-hungry guy and do things to maintain his rule.

He will probably change only after he has the opportunity to realize that life in the royal capital has been stabilized and construction is constantly developing.

This is also a kind of hate caused by love.

It was one thing to instruct on how to control the strange plague of worm vomiting, but it was another to try to get his hands on the power of Carterburg.

Therefore, as long as Abes is not stupid, he will never ask for external assistance at this time when Alvin has not thought it through thoroughly.

Another problem comes from Abes's unwillingness to work hard.

Because Abes used the name of adventurer in order to build up some reputation without people associating him with the capital or the royal family.

This is to ensure that after arriving at the territory of the lord who requests the title of Marquis, he will have enough evidence to prove himself.

If the forces that came to support the royal capital with great fanfare were to fail at this time, then his plan would be in vain.

It can be said that Abes and Ivan’s thoughts and ideas are completely opposite.

The former, out of a noble desire to ensure the people's safety, did such despicable things as maintaining the system and making promises to hired adventurers;

Abes, on the contrary, is unwilling to go all out now and extend the power of the royal capital in order to carry out certain plans in the future and to realize the great cause of unification. This is not a good, kind, or even petty and despicable thought.

In this regard, Abes could only sigh deeply while complaining to Anivia and Crimson.

"I never thought that I would become so hypocritical - the only thing that can save me is probably a breakthrough in communication technology."

The word "save" is not an exaggeration.

Although it is not as extreme as a sworn warrior breaking his oath.

But for Abes, who possesses two kinds of divine power, has two kinds of gods in charge of his consciousness space, and is also a part-time priest, consistency between words and deeds is the necessary and sufficient condition for retaining power.

Apart from anything else, he has to please the two gods before his profession can be considered a priest. Otherwise, he is just a blank slate with armor and some weapon proficiency.

----------

Kronos looked at the warrant left by Abes, and a passion for challenge ignited in his heart.

Through some past mission experiences, Kronos easily realized that in order to achieve the transformation of long-distance communication, it was necessary to combine the power of magic and rune technology.

After returning to her laboratory, the silver-haired girl began to think deeply about how to turn this idea into reality.

First, she started with the basics, carefully studying the energy flow of traditional communication techniques.

After developing the iron core, Kronos was very sure that no fluctuations would be able to trouble her in the short term.

It’s a pity that, unlike in reality where phone calls rely on electromagnetic waves, the energy flow in communication technology is not waves.

But particles.

Precisely because it is a particle, it will be blocked by wood, stone, ordinary metal, magic metal and lead sheets exceeding a certain thickness, just like alpha, beta and gamma particle ray radiation.

And since it is a particle, Kronos seems unable to use his previous experience in designing the iron core and iron bird on it.

After that, Kronos began to study the means that old Winston had used to establish his connection with the Mage Tower, as well as the connection between the Mage Tower and the "fake king".

A magic prop in the shape of a button or brooch.

It's a pity that magic props are the absolute weakness in the current knowledge of magic in the North. No matter whether it is Kronos or others, Bingnai, other wizard apprentices, or even old Winston, they can't figure it out very clearly.

Not to mention that he doesn't want to talk about it, even if he is willing to talk about it, it would be difficult for him to explain it clearly.

Only some of the craftsmanship of magic props and spell-infused props remains in the North.

Principle? I don’t even know where it flew to.

And finally, regarding the part about magic, since she was still a student, she naturally had to ask Hiiragi.

And the frosty wise man did not disappoint her.

"The communication technique in magic is still too common. Usually, if wizards want to send a message, they will use short message technique."

The third-level spell is short message spell. The spell material is still a short piece of thin copper wire, but this time, the casting distance is infinite.

Since it is infinite, wood, stone, ordinary metal, magic metal and lead sheets cannot block its effect.

Not only can these dead objects not stop it, even if the target is not in this plane, the message can still be delivered - of course, there seems to be a certain degree of error and it may not be delivered.

The content of communication is still limited to sending a short message of no more than 25 words to a creature you are familiar with.

The creature will hear your message in its mind and immediately reply with a message in the same manner.

It sounds like a perfect choice. As long as the frequency of use is increased, this "text message" with a limited number of words can be turned into the phone call that Abbes wants.

Even a phone call that can be made to other dimensions.

However, the three-ring spell requirement currently blocks the possibility of Kronos' design.

"So far, the only things that can be encapsulated in the magic gauntlet are tricks and one ring. In this case, carrying magic crystals in battle is still a bit insufficient. If we use it continuously, or even three rings? The production capacity of magic crystals will not be enough."

After all, it is different from mineral resources such as lava ore crystals, iron ore and Eldenite.

The creation of magic crystals requires a transcendent being who can use divine powers to regulate his breathing and rest under the production line designed by Sister Agatha.

The principle is to intercept the gap in magical power between divine magic and arcane magic, and transform it into materialized magic crystals.

Although what extraordinary people need to do is just do nothing.

However, the output is still greatly restricted by the number of extraordinary people.

And finally, is there no way to use less energy, keep up with production capacity, transmit more information, and transmit at a high frequency, so as to achieve calls instead of text messages?

"there is."

Bing Nagi stretched out a hand, and a ball of something that looked like soap bubbles condensed at her fingertips.

Then, the soap bubble floated to Kronos' ears, exploded, and conveyed clear words to Kronos.

A simple sentence, but it was like thunder, "This is it, remember?"

And when Kronos wanted to speak, a new bubble of soap appeared at her mouth.

"found it!"
