Without reinforced concrete, it seems like it took years or even decades to build a castle in the Middle Ages, but the truth seems to be a bit far from what you think.

As long as Shen Yan's money was in place, dozens of [Fossil to Mud] and [Mud to Stone] scrolls were transported to the construction site, and then the ruins of the fortress were leveled and transformed into a large flat and regular rock foundation at a speed visible to the naked eye.

So in Feren, digging tunnels has no future.

Then everyone withdrew and sealed off the site, and Shen Yan completed the magic array painting 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 a solid foundation.

…… After that, Shen Yan did something that he thought was even more important—he buried a gyoricula in the reserved stone pit in the center of the whole area—and solemnly declared: "This place, whether it was, is, or will be, will belong to the (vague) inherent territory!" ”

Well, now all forces are welcome to attack.

Smile.

The appearance of plague patients in Neverwinter did cause some chaos, but it didn't spread as much as Deszel had hoped.

This puzzled Deszaire, because it was completely different from the effect of his experiments in Luskan, and he had to go deep into the port and lower city districts in the name of preaching to check the situation - generally speaking, the best environment for the spread of the plague is always the slums, because the environment in the slums is harsh, densely populated, and the sanitary conditions are poor, and there is no way to get medical treatment in time for illness - the poor mentality of "just sleep on your body can get better" will greatly increase the probability of the spread of the virus.

But when he arrived in the port and lower towns, he found that it was very different from the slums of Luskan......

The poor people here actually bathe and drink boiled water a lot! And the area where they live is also cut into semi-enclosed areas, large and small! This has greatly curbed the spread of the virus! Although Faeron's virology has not yet taken shape, it already has some primitive rudiments, and things like the spread of plague by sick and dead animals are already common knowledge.

Positions aside, Deszel is definitely a virology master in this year.

However, it wasn't until Deszel visited the slums for himself that he really realized how effective this method was in curbing the spread of the plague!

"Why is this happening?"

At that moment, Deszaire really matched Shen Yan's soul, and they were all torn apart and couldn't ride their sister......

When he investigated deeply, he found that all of this was due to the huge investment that Inquisitor Erebis had made in the lower city more than ten years ago.

When Erebeth announced that she was going to invest in the Lower City, she was filled with aristocratic arrogance and the indifference of the guardians of the law in the face of the "leaders" of the Lower City who negotiated with her—but the paupers were still immensely grateful for it, for Erebeth was the only one who had taken them seriously since the founding of Neverwinter.

At that time, Erebeth only made three chapters with these people:

The first condition was that the ghetto needed to clear roads in all directions, and the standard was that there were enough noble carriages to pass through easily. As a result, the once mixed shantytowns have been quietly divided into separate "blocks", limiting the spread of disease and fire.

The second condition was that all the poor who might come into contact with the nobility must first wash off the "stench of their bodies." If the smell of their body makes the nobleman feel uncomfortable, the nobleman has the right to directly whip or even execute the poor.

The aristocratic vices were always the first to learn, and they immediately demanded that every commoner who came near them must make their own. And the pursuit of progress, let everyone actively jump into the water and wash themselves first. Over time, this became another custom in the slums, and many people insisted on bathing in the river even in winter.

Later, this became "a meme in Neverwinter", and bathing became a benchmark to measure the status of both parties. A person of high status takes pride in having to take a bath in order to see him, and there are dozens of disputes a year over bathing - if Nasher says to someone, "You can come to me without taking a bath," it will have the effect of allowing a sword to be brought to the temple, triggering an incident of liver and brain.

The third condition mentioned by Sister A is to drink hot water.

Neverwinter is located in a volcanic zone, and there are perennial hot springs nearby, but they don't taste good, and no one has ever drunk it in the past. Now Sister A directly said, "Drinking hot water is less sick, drinking hot water can cure all diseases", anyway, the rich go to the doctor when they are sick, and the poor drink hot water when they are sick.

After a long time, everyone thinks that it is normal, and the poor do have a lot of diseases when they drink hot water.

As more than ten years passed, people naturally found that Erebes was good, but the strange reasons at the beginning were remembered as jokes. It can be said that more than ten years ago, Erebeth walked into the lower city by investment, and now he relies on the kindness left behind to get unimpeded in the lower city.

When these investigations are clear, Deszel is really confused, is all this intentional or unintentional?

If Erebeth predicted the plague in Neverwinter more than ten years ago and prepared in advance, then he would never believe it! Because even the gods can't make such a prophecy out of nothing! Because more than ten years ago, the reptile queen had just found her way back to Feren. Her eyes were black at the time, and she was still cautiously testing the attitude of the bigwigs, begging the bigwigs not to slap her to death.

What was the plan to spread the plague at that time...... It was all after Deszaire's allegiance to the Reptile Queen.

And unlike the infectious diseases of the earth, the infectious diseases of the wizarding world depend more on the divine power of the plague goddess.

Deszel finally realizes that he's not a historian - the history of Neverwinter is none of his business!

Although experiments have found that it is difficult for the plague to spread in the lower city, it seems that it is not difficult in the Black Lake District, where the nobles live.

Because they could afford expensive spices, the nobles did not bathe all year round; The city area of Wudong is narrow and lacks planning, and a large amount of land is occupied by temples and royal palaces, so that the population density of the aristocratic district is also quite high; The most important point is that the aristocratic district is so corrupt and degenerate...... Beneath the surface is something that hides something incomparably dirty.

Not to mention the plague, if a young nobleman brings mold into the Black Lake, maybe half of them will be infected with venereal diseases in a month, so you can see the level of chaos...... As we often say, "It's like a big family".

You'll never guess who slept with whom last night......

*****

"How can this be?" Hearing that the plague experiment had been transferred to the Black Lake District, Shen Yan was so shocked that he didn't know what expression to use. "Erebeth, does this affect you?" The impact of a few deaths in the aristocratic district is definitely not the same as the death of a few people in the lower city.

"Of course not, they have the money to hire a priest." Erebeth complained expressionlessly......

Deszel was well hidden, and he kept watch in the temple of Heim every day, treating the sick who came to him, and now I am afraid that even the nobles themselves could not think of the terrible disease of the plague for the time being.

Shen Yan had gone to Duncan's hotel in Minato to find Kelg for a drink, only to find that they had left in a hurry a few days earlier.

As the Silver Sword shards were found more and more, and the Demigod Shadow King was forced to fight (the sword was an artifact that could actually kill him), the Lord of the Shadow King had his follower, Kugalus, the Lord of the Fifth Tower of Luskan, instigate a border conflict with Neverwinter, and then sent an envoy to Neverwinter that threatened war.

The envoy brought two demands, first, to thoroughly investigate the massacre of the border village of Luskan (in fact, Luskan himself did it, and the blame was placed on the second-generation protagonist Arthur); Second, stop the construction of the Crossroads Fortress immediately!

That is, the fortress in Shen Yan's current fiefdom - Shen Yan's speed of construction not only shocked Nasher, but also frightened Luskan......

Otherwise, war!

The dark tide was turbulent in Neverwinter for a while, and Luscan's series of actions attracted everyone's attention, and also covered up Deszel's secret experiments.

Under pressure, the progress of the work on the Crossroads Fortress was suspended.

Shen Yan pretended to be filled with righteous indignation, threw two rotten eggs in front of the Luskan embassy every day, and shouted slogans such as "If you want to fight, I will fight", he was full of hawkish style......

Then Mei Zizi went home to accompany her sister Kan Dashan, and by the way, she could receive an apology from Lu Sikan in private-

"Big brother, it's really not aimed at you, we just have dates and no dates, and the goal is peace! Please stop for a moment, our ambassador has been smashed by rotten eggs...... It's going to be bald. ”
