If it is an exaggeration to say that Europeans "do not take a bath for a thousand years", then it is an indisputable fact that Europeans "defecate everywhere for a thousand years".

At that time, Europeans basically did not think of building new sewers, and even if they inherited the legacy of the ancient Roman Empire, they were almost clogged after hundreds of years of desolation. As for the rebuilding of the underpass, it is a great project in which place and in which era, and in the eyes of those lords who rule in the twilight of life, why should they use their own money to contribute to the next one?

Even if there is a selfless duke, such a big project is enough to consume a lot of material resources, and when the matter is not finished, it will be replaced by another lord.

Even in modern times, the situation has not improved.

In 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, Benjamin Franklin crossed the ocean to France to ask for help, but he was fainted by the stench just after entering Paris, and the sanitary conditions in Paris at that time had actually improved greatly...... So, there are a lot of people who comment causantly that if anyone could live in medieval Paris, his nose would definitely be able to withstand the gas bombs of the First World War!

In fact, in the early Middle Ages, because of poverty and backwardness, there were still fewer people in the cities, and the sanitary situation was not so serious.

But as Europe became more and more developed and moved closer to the civilized world, its population grew.

However, the population has increased, but the corresponding cultural heritage has not been accumulated, and the squalor in these cities is becoming more and more serious, and the city of Paris is the extreme horror of this situation.

In fact, it is precisely because hygiene has become the laughing stock of the whole of Europe that France has developed so vigorously that it has become the most famous producer of perfume in the world.

I just don't know if those girls who like perfume will feel some discomfort when they learn that their favorite French perfume is actually produced for such a reason?

Commoners, nobles, and emperors can solve sanitation problems anywhere, and the only difference may be that nobles can send servants to clean up regularly, and the emperor can go back and forth between several palaces.

It sounds like they don't want to wash the dishes after eating, the commoners can only wash them themselves, the nobles let the servants wash them, and the emperor just throws them aside for new ones?

……

Duluth left Paris in silence, and his superior force allowed him to easily defeat the gang's bandits, and even became the leader of a bandit of thieves, with money and horses at will.

He did not stay somewhere to develop his power, but roared the European continent with his own group of thieves, and every time he went to a city, he always silently went in alone to see this historical city that he had dreamed of countless times.

He saw the extreme confusion of the writing on this continent, each person spelled a word according to the method they understood, and a thousand people might spell out 500 ways to spell "hello", and the confusion of the text made many lords and kings not even know how many words.

He had seen two scruffy "princes" eloped with "princesses", covered in dirt and drunk in the wilderness before freezing to death.

He had seen a map of the end of the Black Death, the most terrifying period of the Black Death, in which a man was secretly bathed, tied up by fearful and angry people, framed by the church as a witch spreading the plague, and burned to death on a fire!

He saw countless nobles and princes, because they hated those women who did not take a bath, and changed their sexual orientation.

He also saw a down-and-out princess with a pure complexion, skin as beautiful as blood in the snow, and so beautiful that she exploded, who didn't care when facing those servants and knights who defended her with death, but when facing a prince of a top country, she took off her pants without saying a word, like the ugliness of the lowest prostitute and woman.

Of course, there were exceptions, and in the middle and late Middle Ages, before the outbreak of the Black Death, the new fashions brought by the Crusaders from the East, and the contributions of the Vikings, all kinds of bathing methods were once common in Europe, as long as you had money, you could bathe with food and *****, and the poor were dirty in any era.

The sanitary situation is like this, those noble ladies who are satisfied with life, one by one do not bathe, but those women who want to change their fate, prefer to take the risk of the Black Death, but also take a bath to attract those upper class, it has to be said that it is a kind of irony.

As for the church, Duluth had mixed impressions of it.

On the one hand, the Church does have the perfect cultural heritage of this continent, and because of its special status, it maintains the continuation of European culture, otherwise relying on those countries with frequent wars, I am afraid that Europe has long ago suffered from cultural discontinuity and collapse, and returned to the primitive flood era.

But on the other hand, the Church is so domineering that even the famous "Crusades" in history have evolved from pure religious wars at the beginning to a despicable robbery with the acquiescence of the Pope, even the kind of robbery of the "fraternal nations" that believe in the Church together.

Moreover, the matter of not bathing was promoted by the church, although there was a low level of education at that time and a lack of understanding of the plague, but there were indeed reasons why the church borrowed these means to control the body and mind of ordinary people.

In such a situation, it is like an uncle who has raised himself with hard work, but is also entangled in sex and aggression against himself, so that people really don't know what attitude to face this "uncle".

Maps of different periods, societies of different periods, in Duluth's eyes, are like an absurd stage play, whether it is those "lowly" commoners, or those nobles who seem to be very gentlemanly, or those top kings who are poor and extravagant, in their own eyes, all have the same extremely ridiculous faces and attitudes to life.

On this continent, there seems to be nothing worth yearning for, even the most desirable existence in the past, under close observation, it has become something that makes people speechless.

It seems that only when the thieves wantonly loot and seize everything from those noble gentlemen will they feel a trace of satisfaction and freedom in their hearts, and they will look forward to the next scene of wielding the sword after the robbery.

……

Such a happy life of a group of thieves can only be enjoyed by people like Duluth, but most people in this world cannot control their own destiny arbitrarily.

Ordinary people can only make a living by doing one task after another in those wild towns, or endure the filth of the big cities.

Even those public officials who are high in the eyes of ordinary people, those civil servants who have been entrusted with important tasks by their superiors, still can't see a smile on their faces when they take the money given by their superiors to easily be the lord and enjoy the "first and night rights" in the territory......
