Chapter 48 The Beginning of Guderian's Misfortune

Jia Xiu originally thought that the place with the most patients would be the hospital, or if not the hospital, then the church.

But neither.

According to the advice of Mia, a "half-step local" who has been in Larven for a few years, go to the slums.

The slums are where the most patients are.

It makes sense if you think about it.

The environment is poor, and the sanitary conditions in that era were already terrible. Except for the main roads where feces were cleaned up, all kinds of filth could often be seen on other roads, and the slums were even more of a nightmare.

In addition, people here basically have no money to treat their illnesses, so they can only fight for their lives with bacteria and viruses. It is very easy for the virus to spread, and the entire area is like a large petri dish.

However, it is difficult to find extremely deadly supermicroorganisms in such places, because if they are too deadly, the infected people will die too quickly and the disease will not spread.

Those that can survive here should be those that are not too deadly, but pathogenic and absolutely highly contagious.

It is definitely more than enough to infect an Arcane Archer who is already in poor health.

As for the pathogenic effect of a single strain of bacteria, it is not very strong, so just adding a few more will do the trick.

So, Jashu and Mia came to the largest and most populous slum in Larven.

Mia is a druid of the Spore Society. She has been hanging out with all kinds of fungi since she was a child and has come into contact with many corpses. Her immune system is very strong. Let alone the slums, she can even enter more disgusting places without any problems.

In the end, the druids of this association became basically immune to all poisons.

Jia Xiu didn't have that ability, so he could only do his best to protect himself so that he wouldn't be unable to get out.

A mask made of ordinary gauze, gloves made of natural rubber, and several cans of dwarven liquor.

He finally understood why people of other races were unwilling to drink with dwarves. They called liquor with an alcohol content of over 70 degrees strong, and Jia Xiu didn't want to put this stuff in his mouth at all.

Given that the masks and gloves he bought were of limited workmanship and their protective effect might not be ideal, he also went to the Holy Light Church to rent an amulet that claimed to be able to break away all filth.

It’s too expensive to buy, so I can only rent it.

Even though he had taken protective measures and prepared himself mentally, when he saw the largest slum in Larven, Jia Xiu was still shocked by the scene before him.

All I can say is that he has never seen a real slum in his past experience.

The shantytown is too urbanized compared to here.

Looking around, it is hard to tell whether this is a garbage dump or a residential area. The small houses made of rags and wooden boards are sunken in the swamp-like ground, and there is a liquid of unknown composition on the muddy land.

Even though Jia Xiu sprayed himself with dwarven liquor, he could still smell the pungent smell of decay and fermentation emanating from the slums amidst the smell of alcohol.

The amazing thing is that this place is not far from the bustling main city of Larven.

Jia Xiu suddenly realized that such areas of extreme poverty seemed to exist only near big cities.

Farmers who lost their land came to their dream big city to pursue a new life, but found that the big city only needed their labor and did not need them to live well here.

Jia Xiu sighed helplessly. He used to be like this too. Even though his own life wasn't that good, he would still feel sad when he saw others suffering even more miserably and wanted to provide some help within his ability.

Then I found out that the little help I provided was intercepted by someone else, which made me even more upset.

As a half-local, Mia was not surprised by this and took Jia Xiu directly inside.

We came to a relatively spacious area, the "canteen" in the slums.

1Heer can eat here all day and be full.

Of course, the so-called "rice" is the leftovers in the city.

Here, Mia began her operation by taking out a few coins and handing them to the children playing.

"Find some sick people and cooperate in some experiments. It's a risk-free experiment. Those who come can receive..."

Mia turned to look at Jia Xiu.

"2... uh, 5 herls, and it also comes with a free primary healing spell." Jia Xiu thought for a while and said.

Although the basic healing technique cannot cure any disease, any recovery is helpful.

Soon, the children found many patients.

It’s just that the atmosphere at the scene was a little weird, and every patient had a resolute expression on their face, ready to die.

It was as if Jia Xiu had come to take their lives, while they were "family heroes" who would risk their lives to earn those 5 Hertz for their families. Their reaction to Jia Xiu's healing spell's green light was like that of tribal residents facing a doctor's thermometer.

However, after the healing spell took effect, they quickly realized that Jia Xiu was helping them and immediately became respectful.

At the same time, Mia also demonstrated a very rigorous work attitude. No matter how physically uncomfortable the affected area looked, she could complete the sampling without changing her expression.

According to her, the Spore Society seeks the natural balance between life and death.

That is to say, he has handled so many deformed and grotesque corpses from childhood to adulthood that their visual impact is much stronger than that of living people.

The sampling work lasted for a day and finally obtained more than a dozen sealed glass bottles.

Several of them already had visible bacterial colonies.

Looking at these results, Mia said with some concern, "It can take several hours, or even days, for these bacteria to become infected and cause disease. Will there really be enough time to use them for the exam?"

"Um……"

Jia Xiu replied, "I'll modify the activation technique in the next couple of days. It should increase the activity of the bacteria, so shortening the time it takes to cause disease to a few minutes shouldn't be a problem."

Mia added, "Isn't it a bit too harsh for us to do this? He still has to go to school in the future."

When I think about the effects of these bacteria, if I really use them, my relationship with Guderian will probably never be repaired in this lifetime.

"That's right. We'll see how he behaves. If he's good, it's not impossible for the exam to end in a draw."

"What if the attitude is bad?"

"Increase the dose!"

……

In the Iris Royal Family, in Her Highness Emilia's manor, there is a spacious hall, which was originally the classroom where Her Highness took sword lessons.

Swordsmanship and horsemanship are compulsory courses for the royal family, and they must be learned even if they are not used.

But now, this room has become a training ground for Ram and Bubu.

The hammer head, made of soft cloth, made a whirring sound in the air due to its extremely fast swinging speed.

Bubu, who was not much taller than the hammer, dodged Ram's attacks swiftly, his movements so fast that they were invisible to the naked eye.

"I hit you!"

The hammer head made a tricky turn and brushed against the corner of Bubu's clothes.

"Clap clap..."

Emilia, who was watching from the side, clapped her hands. "Ram, I didn't expect you to be so good with the hammer. I should have trained you to be a warrior. Of course, Bubu is also very powerful."

"Ram only wanted to help the boss, who was being targeted."

"Targeted? Targeted by whom?" Emilia asked curiously.

"A, something, something from the Hart family."

"Reinhardt," Bub added.

"Why?" Emilia asked.

"I don't understand. They are sick. That's what the boss said."

"ill?"

Emilia frowned. Could it be that the conflict between the Reinhard family and the Capet family has become so serious that they have to target Margaret's students?
The conflict between these two major families of the Iris Kingdom has always been a headache for the royal family.

And the Reinhardt family has become a bit bloated in recent years...

Emilia put those complicated questions aside for the moment and asked, "So how does Jia Xiu plan to solve the problem?"

When Ram mentioned this, his face changed, and he said with a look of fear: "The boss and Mia said they wanted to extract some invisible things."

"Something invisible? Extracted from what?"

When Ram mentioned this, his face became even more frightened. "They extracted it from rotten wounds, pustules, and poop! Ram found them so disgusting..."
