Chapter 82: On the White Bird
Just when Eugen had a headache, Corleone, who was in charge of liaising with doctors in the north, was also in some trouble.
These days, his fame has spread in the local area, and many people will come to him, and those people are not doctors, but young people who want to follow him.
When the young men of the village heard of the name of the honest Knight of Corleone, they thought that it would be very promising to follow such a knight, so they sought him out.
Recruiting some people to help find a doctor was also in his plan, and Eugen would not disagree. After a while, Corleone recruited more than two dozen young men to accompany him, and these people's abilities were also qualified.
It was just while talking to a doctor that he suddenly got terrible news. That is, his actions have been targeted by a group of strong, fierce and bloodthirsty bandits in the local area.
Somehow the robbers learned that he had a certificate worth 50,000 kilds, they were immediately ambitious to snatch it from him, and had sent a spy to him, among the young men under him.
Corleone, who learned about this, was shocked in his heart, he had thought that there might be such trouble before, but because the security in the neighborhood was not bad, he put aside his worries in this regard.
Unexpectedly, he was still targeted after all. Moreover, this gang of robbers is not a local, but a group of Saxon horse bandits in the northeast of the empire, and there is also a strange name---- Hurricane bandits.
It is said that when they ride across the ground on horseback, they will destroy everything in their path like a terrible hurricane, and all the treasures in their path will be swept away by them, and not a single grass will be left behind.
Corleone knew that this was an exaggeration, but bandits in Northeast Saxony were a real threat, and he had to be vigilant about this.
At the same time, a letter was delivered to him from Heidelberg. Corleone learned that Eugen, the head of the house, had received support from the Church, and that a cardinal had even come here to facilitate the Doctors' Contest.
Being able to get the support of the church, Corleone's eyes flashed, and he thought of a way to deal with the robbers.
......
Three days passed quickly, and the port of Messina enjoyed a rare three days of calm. The ships at sea have already been informed that there are no ships to dock at the port of Messina, and Rambo has saved them a lot of trouble.
During these three days, Gappas did not bother again, and Rambo kept promising him that he would inform the local noble lords, but he still tried to delay as much as possible.
Klein's condition continued to deteriorate, and all the doctors in the city were called in by Rambo, and various methods were used one by one, but in the end, they still failed to save Lord Clay's life.
In the early hours of the third day, he died. When he died, his body was covered with swollen lumps and black spots, exactly like the rumored deaths of those in the city of Gafa.
At this point, Rambo knew that the terrible disease had landed, but he was confident that it would be stopped in the harbor of Messina.
When dealing with Klein's body, Rambo directly ordered his body to be burned completely. The carers wore gloves sewn from cowhide and layers of linen on their hands. At the end of the burning, the gloves and the outer linen were thrown into the fire to prevent infection.
Klein's valuables were washed with boiling hot water, and a strand of hair on his head was cut off and washed, ready to be handed over to Lord Klein's family as an explanation.
Rambo had anticipated that there might be some trouble, but that was all a thing of the future, and dealing with the disease in front of him was a big deal.
With the exception of Klein, none of the other quarantined personnel, including those who had boarded the Stasia, were infected.
Even Alex, who touched the corpse with his own hands, did not show any symptoms, of course, it had something to do with the desperate washing of his hands after he returned.
Rambo naturally didn't bother him, in fact, Alex had been taught enough lessons. Until now, he still had to wash his hands more than 20 times a day, or he would be restless. The appearance is also different from before, the whole person has lost weight in three days, he can't eat, and his eye sockets are sunken and look like zombies.
The Stasia was a huge shock to Rambo's men, and they finally realized what they were up against, which made them work harder and harder.
After all, no one wants that terrible curse to spread to the mainland.
The quarantined crew members also had no complaints and were very cooperative. Rambo stipulates that after they are quarantined for a week and find that there are no problems, they can leave on their own.
On the third day, the ship carrying the food approached the Shiratori again, but this time the person in charge was fathead. The medium-sized sailboat docked next to the Shiratori, and the fathead opened his loud voice and shouted: "Crew of the Shiratori, new supplies have been delivered to you, come out and receive them!" ”
He shouted loudly, and there was no reason that the people on the Shiratori could not hear. However, the fathead fish shouted several times, but still no one responded.
On board the Shiratori, it was as silent as death. Several crows flew in the sky, and the ominous bird flew and landed directly on the mast of the sailing ship.
Seeing that there was no response, the fathead fish showed a puzzled look on his face, and he didn't think much about it, so he climbed up the rope ladder directly.
It was his duty to investigate the situation on board the Shiratori, or at least to know whether the people on board were alive or dead. Halfway up the climb, the fathead fish groaned, vaguely remembering Alex's experience that day, and there was a trace of fear in his heart.
After thinking about it, he took out the musket in his bosom and held it in his hand, although it may not be of much use, but at least it can strengthen his courage.
After climbing up and down two more times, the fathead fish looked up and estimated that it was three paces away from the side of the boat.
At this moment, a face suddenly turned over from the side of the ship and looked down, it was the second officer on the ship.
It's just that the second mate at this time looks like he is no longer human, his right eye is swollen, the flesh protrudes outward about a centimeter, and the lump spreads from the corner of the eye to the neck, and blood is dripping from the top.
At the same time, it can be seen that some black spots appear on the second pair's face, which are exactly the same as those on the dead Klein.
"Help... Help me. The second officer actually breathed a sigh of relief, and was leaning on the side of the boat to ask for help from the fathead fish below, and stretched out his right hand tremblingly.
Looking at him, it was as if he was suffering inhuman pain, so that the muscles in his hands tensed.
"Or... Please... Kill me. ”
