Chapter 22 The Sun of Qiqiu (1)
"Baseles! This time you lead us to resist the Island Republic and the Almani coalition forces, destroy the Island Republic fleet, kill, and capture more than 50,000 Almani coalition forces, and kill more than 30 lords of Almani, including the King of Bohemia. At present, the recovery of the western territory of the empire is just around the corner. If you can succeed, your martial arts will be shocking to the present!"
In a study room in the Constantineier Palace, several ministers were spared no effort to present praise to Su Cornelius Scipio.
"Not only that, the momentum of the plague has been greatly reduced now, and it seems that it is about to disappear. When Justinian was just now, this plague killed more than half of the population of the Seven Hills Empire! Thanks to Basilus's wise decision. Your achievements are far beyond Justinian, and you can be called the eternal emperor of the Seven Hills Empire!"
"Oh?" Su raised half of his face after the document, "Then what can I do next? Find a famous poet and help me compile my personal biography?"
"I suggest a statue of Su Cornelius Scipio beside the statue of Justinian!" said a minister, "It is to be made larger than the statue of Justinian!"
This obviously aroused Su's interest. He put down the documents in his hand, leaned forward a little, and signaled the ministers to say more details. But at this moment, a shout floated over from a distance in confusion:
"Father! My entourage is gone!!!"
The owner of the voice was Anna Cornelia Scipio's daughter, because she had already started a war with the island Republic, and her engagement with Patisipacio's son was naturally broken. This time, she was Constantinier, who was back with the Mercian Field Army.
Before the voice fell, Anna hurriedly ran in. She was now wearing a luxurious purple robe that symbolized her identity, and a delicate headdress full of pearls on her head. She rushed to Su's desk and shouted, "I couldn't find anyone since last night! I don't know if she got drunk or was kidnapped. My father quickly sends some troops to find him back!"
"You got lost while drunk and got kidnapped... Your entourage is really eye-opening." Su said a little unhappy, "You brought back that little gangster, right? If you get lost, don't look for it. I'll arrange for you to change one."
"Change another?" Anna slapped Su's desk with both hands, and all the documents piled up on it were so shocking that she jumped, "I don't want it!"
"What don't you want? If you get lost, you still have to look for it. Is he your entourage or you his entourage?"
"I...I just want him!"
"Do you think you are qualified to ask me now? As a princess, she ran out without saying a word, and was still wandering outside for several months before she came back. I was about to find you!"
As he said that, Su Cornelius Scipio winked at the guards on both sides.
"Take the princess back to her room, and within half a year, she will not be allowed to take a step out of the room!"
"Father...you can't...!"
After a riot, Anna was raised by four guards, with her left hand, right hand, left foot, and right foot, and walked out of the door. Paracelsus, wearing a bird beak mask, happened to walk in. Seeing this strange scene, she was so shocked that she forgot what she was going to do.
"My daughter is very strong and can't control her if she doesn't have four guards." Su said, "Don't worry about her, Paracelsus, what's wrong with you?"
Paracelsus came to his senses and raised a pile of manuscripts in his hand.
"This is the research record I did during this plague. According to my inference, the transmission of toxins this time is rat fleas, and the phlegm and saliva of the patients. As long as you stay away from these, you can avoid infection. Constantineer was surrounded this time, which was a blessing in disguise, avoiding the spread of the plague. However, this time, many Almani deserters fled to villages of all sizes and large, and they may be sick. Basels would be better to send people to send messages to villages of all sizes. If a village has already appeared, measures should be taken immediately to destroy rats. The priest of Apollo has the magic of expelling rats, and can use her power."
"Just kill rats, don't you need to burn the village? I understand." Su Cornelius Scipio nodded, "Is there anything else to say?"
"According to my statistics, it only takes one day at a time from suspected invasion of toxins to symptoms that occur, and only about seven days at a time. Your Majesty can count the time to take quarantine measures. As for the Imperial Guards and the Mercia Field Army, they should be able to come out of the military camp with confidence. There are some other data that I have recorded here. Please read it in Basels."
Sujang's entourage took Paracelsus' manuscript, placed it in a corner of the desk, then coughed and said:
"After that being said, Paracelsus, there are some remarks that are not good for you now, and there are quite a lot of them."
Paracelsus raised his head in surprise: "Unfavorable remarks? Sorry, I have been busy studying the plague these days... Please tell me."
"You're a doctor, right? But in fact, you didn't cure several patients at all, aren't you?"
After a moment of silence, Paracelsus lowered his head: "It's true. I have nothing to say."
"I am a talent-loving person. If you can cure the Black Death, even if everyone criticizes you, you will have to give you the position of the court physician. But now it seems that this position may still be too heavy for you." Su Cornelius Scipio said, "I will read these manuscripts carefully. I will give you a hundred Nomisma, and you should leave Constantinier as soon as possible."
"I am not strong enough, I am really ashamed. This time, I was thinking of saying goodbye."
Paracelsus took the purse handed over by Su's entourage, and did not count it. He stuffed it into his waist bag, and then turned around and left the study.
"Paracelsus! You're finally out!"
Outside the palace, several priests and a group of people blocked Paracelsus. They seemed to have known about Paracelsus being fired by Basels for a long time, and shouted at him unscrupulously:
"Take off your mask right away! Let's see if you are a human or a devil!"
"Sorry, I have to protect myself from infection," replied Paracelsus. "As for human beings or devils, I am of course human beings, and I am a doctor."
"All nonsense! Your mask looks like a devil!" A priest with a blue-red dye on his face raised his skinny arms and turned to ask everyone behind him, "Have you heard that how many patients he has cured?"
"I have never heard of it!" people shouted below, "All patients who see him and this strange mask are dead! But a few patients who have never seen survive! He is the evil ghost who seeks his life!"
"That's because only severe patients can receive my treatment. Isn't you clear about the disease before I came?"
"This is all the trap of you, the demon!" another priest shouted, "Listen to me, I received an oracle in my sleep last night. Only by executing the demons disguised as doctors can the patients be cured!"
"Tie him on a stone and sink into the sea!"
