Chapter 518: Frost Disease (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Mid-October in the year 4420 of the solar calendar.
In the northern part of the Trisur Empire, the main city of the Limbang, the city of Cold Leaves.
On both sides of Caius Avenue in late autumn, the dense coniferous forests are already covered with ice crystals and snowflakes, and there are few wheel marks or footprints on the snow-covered streets.
This was the climate peculiar to the extreme north of the empire.
Dry and cold.
Buildings like square bread are neatly arranged on both sides of the street, and the roofs are like replicas, all domes, and a spiked decorative railing stands in the middle.
The overall impression of the street scene does not give people a bloated feeling, but the environment is quite wide and the view is bright.
Although the city is not bustling and lively, it is also full of human fireworks, and many residents sweep the snow in front of their homes, greet each other, and smile and chat.
In the northeast corner of the city center, some of the locals who had returned home were stopping outside the courtyard of the Generous Church, watching in amazement as some black-clad missionaries busily carried wooden boxes and strange utensils.
"Priest Leesman, is the church going to be renovated?"
A middle-aged woman with reddish-brown hair asked inside.
Her head was wrapped in plaid cotton, and half of her face was frozen and red, and her mouth was white. Holding a paper bag of bread sticks and some turnips, two lovely girls of about ten years old were hiding behind them, looking out from behind their mothers, looking curiously at the missionaries through the iron fence.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Fay, Good Day, and lovely Eidoma and Nellie......
A black-clad missionary near the door turned his head and said with a smile. At the same time, he prayed a prayer praising the covenant.
"It's not the church that's being renovated, it's the headquarters that has a new bishop and priest, and we're helping with some luggage."
"Oh, has Father Thomas been transferred as well?"
The woman looked surprised.
"Yes, Father Thomas followed Bishop Randa to the Royal City, where a new priest will preach to the inhabitants of Cold Leaf City."
"That's a pity, Father Thomas is a good man, and everyone likes him...... I remember the last time the girl of the Lott family had a 'frost attack, but it was Father Thomas who begged for a potion to relieve her condition.'
The woman sighed.
Soon she asked with some curiosity:
"How's the new bishops and priests?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but it's immoral to talk about adults in private...... But rest assured, His Majesty Jack and Father Akbin are good people and take great care of the faithful."
The black-clad missionary named Leesman smiled wryly.
He was just an ordinary member of the Council of Generosity, who had been under the command of Archon Peggy, and more than twenty missionaries, including him, were not left with this transfer because of their familiarity with the local situation, but were placed under the new Archon Jack.
Fortunately, there are many rumors in the parliament that His Majesty Jackspet is friendly and friendly, which makes them feel a lot more at ease.
Suddenly, Priest Lesmanne saw two figures walking slowly along the street from a distance, and he hurriedly bowed his head with a solemn salute.
"Priest Ricsman, I have met Bishop Jack and Father Horner......
He was a little nervous, and his tone was a little stiff.
"No need to be polite, Priest Leesman."
A tall man in a black top hat speaks gently.
For some reason, Leesman suddenly felt a warmth rise in his heart, and he felt comfortable in this cold environment.
"Is this lady also a believer in my god?"
Chen Lun asked softly.
Before Ricsmanne could speak, Mrs. Fay respectfully prayed the prayer of the God of Covenant, and nodded:
"Yes, Your Excellency Bishop, my husband Rocca and I, and the two little ones are all gods of contract
Believer...... The child's father runs a fish stall, which is the breadwinner for our family, and the seafood company owned by Moses Voyage used to manipulate contracts and make life difficult for the seafood vendors in the market, so we have always wanted to have a fair deal."
She looked a little excited, and even grabbed Chen Lun's sleeve.
"It's the blessing of the God of Contract that gives us hawkers room to breathe...... The great bosses of Moses' voyage will no longer dare to withhold our silver lords, praise the covenant, praise you and all the priests of the church for their generosity!"
Seeing this, Father Horner's face changed slightly, and he wanted to step forward to stop the woman's "rude" behavior, but was persuaded by Chen Lun's eyes.
"Of course, the God of Covenant will favor every devout believer...... Madame, is this your daughter? What's your name?"
Chen Lun smiled, turned his head to look at one of the little girls behind the woman, her skin was drier than the sister next to her, and even revealed a sickly red color.
"Oh, this is Nelly, Nelliat, the poor little one has the misfortune of 'Frost Sickness,' and her father and I are dying...... Now I just want to make more money and go to the madman's clinic to buy special medicine."
The woman pulled her daughter in front of her and said quickly.
The little girl coughed twice in pain, and then opened her eyes wide, and looked up at the bishop in front of her, for some reason, she always felt that this adult was very good-looking, but the next second, there was no impression in her mind, both contradictory but very harmonious.
Although it was only the first time they met, she had a great affection and trust in her heart.
"Is it frosty......
Chen Lun muttered.
It had been two days since he came to Cold Leaf City, and he had a general understanding of the situation here, and this so-called "frost disease" was a local climate disease, and one out of ten ordinary residents was sick.
Most of the symptoms are chapped skin, redness, body hair loss, sensitivity to cold and heat, and of course, severe cases may be accompanied by cough and other lung diseases and migraines.
The disease is not fatal, but it is quite torturous, and the life expectancy of the sick person will be reduced.
Cold Leaf City is different from the cities he has been in before, there is no distinction between inner and outer cities, whether it is a noble, rich businessman or a common people, they all live in the same urban area, which is due to the simple temperament of the locals and the good security environment.
And this kind of climate disease does not discriminate between status and status, and the aristocratic and wealthy merchants in Cold Leaf City will also get it, but they can spend a lot of money to buy special medicine for treatment at the madman's clinic.
As far as Chen Lun knew, in the entire Cold Leaf City, and even in the surrounding cities, there was no good treatment plan for the "frost disease", and the most significant effect was the potion and candle therapy developed by the madman school.
"Snow Melting Potion" 80 silver jue, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, can only suppress the disease. "Copper candles" 5 gold pounds each, although it can be cured, but it requires several courses of treatment, and ordinary people cannot afford such an expensive price.
"Little Nelly, today's encounter is a guide of fate and a testimony of a contract...... Drink it and you'll get a good night's sleep."
A little thumb-sized tube appeared in Chen Lun's hand, which contained the spring water of immortality.
He passed the tube to the little girl and stroked her head.
"Thank you, Your Generous and Merciful Bishop."
The woman hurriedly said gratefully.
Immediately, she squatted down, holding the food in one hand and helping her daughter drink the "holy water" in the medicine tube with the other. At a rate almost visible to the naked eye, the sickly flush on Nelly's face has subsided, and her skin has regained its hydrated glow.
"Oh! Praise the covenant!"
The woman looked incredulous.
She kissed her daughter on the face very happily, and then asked her daughter to thank Chen Lun.
"Thank you, Bishop, Nellie doesn't feel any more pain and is feeling well now."
The little girl smiled brightly.
Chen Lun responded with a smile, bowed his head to the woman and her two daughters, and immediately led Father Horner into the church.
Here it is
Previously, Peggy had been well managed and well-organized, and the Church of Generosity had an excellent reputation among the people of Cold Leaf City, and most of the local residents believed in His Majesty Conrad.
Together with Father Horner and more than 20 missionaries who were familiar with daily affairs, Chen Lun and his command Frey Arkbin and others took over the church area without much effort.
This saved Chen Lun a lot of things.
Crossing the garden path in the outer courtyard, he went straight to the back living quarters, and asked Connie to call Maggie down, who was setting up a new research room upstairs.
"Mr. Commander, what is the matter?"
Maggie still has the messy hairstyle, and even the goose yellow dress on her body looks messy. She asked, still carrying a wine bottle in her hand, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Let Floy tidy up your image tonight, she's a pretty girl, but she's always so raunchy......
Chen Lun shook his head helplessly.
"Huh? Head! Why do you suddenly care about my private life, hehehethank you...... But it doesn't matter, I usually have to stay in the research room, and it's a hassle to dress up."
Maggie looked surprised and laughed.
"I just hope that believers won't be intimidated by you when they pray."
Chen Lun Waner Road.
Maggie raised an eyebrow and pointed at herself.
"I'm also going to be involved in church evangelism?"
Chen Lun nodded, paused slightly, and then explained:
"Recently, you have taken the time to study the local 'frost disease', and I'll have Golov send you the relevant information, and Akbin will work with you...... I need you to personally intervene to treat the sick believers, not only for the spread of the Generosity Council's reputation in the local area, but also for your chance to advance to Sequence Five."
"That's ...... so."
Maggie nodded knowingly.
She thought for a moment, then lifted the bottle and took a sip, and after a long breath, he laughed.
"Thank you for the reminder, then I will definitely live up to your expectations! I want to go back to the lab and start working on this condition tonight! Please ask that guy Golov to send the information quickly......
As soon as the words fell, before Chen Lun nodded, she turned around and ran upstairs. Looking at her energetic look, the smile on the corner of Chen Lun's mouth became even stronger.
