"This matter has become more and more interesting. Miss Stuart generously let me look up some information in the royal library. We read the records of the natural disaster of the undead thirty years ago. There was no sign at all at that time. When the church found out, the plague had become completely uncontrollable. I think that starting tomorrow, Nolan City and the surrounding villages and towns will start preparing to face the plague, and no one wants to repeat the tragedy of thirty years ago."
As Alexia spoke, she raised her teacup as a gesture of toast and thanks to Miss Stuart, who immediately picked up her own teacup in a panic.
"Then how to prevent it? The church distributes some very bitter medicines that can treat diseases?"
Jenkins guessed.
"Of course not, the population of Nolan City is too large."
Alexia shook her head: "Look, no matter how rich the church's financial resources are, it is impossible to make enough potions for the entire city to distribute in a short period of time. If it is determined that the sword reappeared, then the first thing to do It is to publish the news that the great plague is coming in the newspaper, and then authoritative professors or doctors publish articles to publicize disaster prevention methods to the citizens.”
"Oh, makes sense."
Jenkins and Miss Stuart nodded at the same time, and the former added:
"It is certain that the sword really reappeared. So now, the church city hall is probably very busy. I bet that when I pick up milk and newspapers at the door tomorrow morning, I will be able to see the news of the plague on the front page."
The great plague thirty years ago was a by-product of the Skull Sword's production of undead. It was essentially a disease that was transmitted by water or blood, and later evolved to be transmitted by air. But because it contains the power of the undead, it spreads extremely fast, and the fatality rate is almost 100%.
Except for the lucky ones like Robert who can recover, death is almost certain within seven days of the onset. But one theory is that the resistance to this plague can be passed on to the next generation through genetics. That was the opinion of the medical journals thirty years ago, and if it were true, at least the Williamettes, apart from Mary, would not be in much danger.
In fact, there was no solution to the plague, but the holder of the skull sword was discovered by the church, and all the infected people who were quarantined died, so the plague stopped.
Nowadays, people who are elderly will change their faces when they almost hear something related to that disaster. Therefore, it is much easier to prevent disasters than it was thirty years ago, because people have fully realized what they will face.
"After the disaster thirty years ago, cremation was promoted across the continent. However, the implementation of the Fidic Tri Kingdom was not smooth. It was probably okay in the first few years, but now..."
As Jenkins said, he thought of the tragedy of the Gelt family in the suburban cemetery. If Mr. Geert had been cremated and then buried, at least it would not have been his body that killed his wife and children.
"Actually, the cremation situation in the Hampawa Kingdom is not optimistic."
Miss Stuart also knew something about the situation. She sat upright on the chair, which was very different from the relaxed sitting posture of the other two.
"According to my knowledge, the cremation rate in the south of the kingdom is less than 10%, and there is almost no cremation data in the north. Mr. William, do you know that we even have the tradition of burying corpses on the ice field, you can't imagine What do the wild wolves that are active on the ice caps in the far north feed on?"
The Kingdom of Hampawo is located in the northern part of the continent, but it is different from the other two countries. Although the country has the largest land area, about one-fifth of the area is extremely unsuitable for human habitation. In the remaining part, there are three One-third is very unsuitable for human habitation, and most of the people living in these areas are the true aborigines in the northern part of the mainland.
Some researchers believe that these people have an innate ability to resist freezing. The burial custom of these people is to display their bodies on the ice sheet.
"I hope the church will find that damn guy soon, at least before he becomes stronger."
Jenkins said that he no longer has divinity, and even if he meets that opponent again, he may not be able to defeat him. All he can do now is actively participate in the search, and then pray that the demigods of the diocese can solve this matter.
Jenkins must not allow a major plague to occur in the city where his family, his friends, and his cat live. For this reason, he was ready to take the initiative to get involved in the troubles to find clues.
At present, the Orthodox Church and the human kingdom still do not have a common method to cure the plague 30 years ago. Certain rituals or superhuman abilities can be effective in saving a person, but they cannot be universalized.
Although that kind of plague has little effect on the bestower, especially the bestower of Jenkins' level, the ladies still tell Jenkins to be more careful.
For this point, Jenkins has no sense of crisis. He doesn't think the plague will affect him.
"Oh, will life like pet cats be infected with the plague?"
Thinking of chocolate made Jenkins worry again.
"Of course, any living organism has a chance of infection."
Alexia quite understood what Jenkins was worried about, but she didn't know how to prevent the pets from becoming infected.
Even if the Undead Sword has only just been discovered, the panic it brings has deeply infected all those who know it. Jenkins could imagine the situation in Nolan's churches at this moment, and the only correct solution now was to find and recover the sword.
The specific origin of A-12-1-0044 [Skull Sword of the Revenant], even the Church of the Sages could not find any records. This is a very dangerous trick. If the "dangerous ranking" is performed on the tricks that humans have numbered so far, then it will definitely be able to squeeze into the top ten ranks.
And the plague is just a side effect of that sword. Jenkins thinks that the really terrible thing should be the wave of undead. Thirty years ago, the undead army was wiped out before it took shape. He didn't know if the church still had the luck this time.
The formed undead legion is more terrifying than the mortal legion. They will always maintain their morale, fearless of sacrifice and return to the earth, which is something that living creatures cannot do.
Humans have not mastered the method of defeating A-12-1-0044 head-on, but it is just a weapon after all. Killing the holder is the best way to solve this matter, and if you really want to defeat the skeleton sword, Alexia believes that humans do not have that kind of power.
"You mean, the power of God can?"
Jenkins concluded, and was thinking about where to get another drop of divinity.
