Chapter 5100 How to Save People
The tavern was filled with a happy atmosphere. People in this era were still unable to realize how terrible the Black Death was. In fact, man-made disasters were more dangerous than natural disasters.
According to history, when the Black Death began, the church had already made up its mind to take the opportunity to promote its faith, saying that the people who died were cursed by the devil, and that ungodly people would face this danger.
If you want to be protected by God, you must donate more money to show your piety. Of course, you will not say it so directly. You will only say that if you sin, you will die. If you want to wash away your sins, you must buy indulgences.
If someone does not admit this statement of the church, then go and communicate with the guys in the Skitarii and the Inquisitors. They have always had only one approach to deal with the heretics who do not believe in God.
The lords and nobles will also face some problems.
Because the people at the bottom have low health standards, they are often the first to die, which will greatly affect agricultural production.
As a result, it would be impossible to provide the nobles with enough food and money, and the lords had troops in their hands. When faced with this situation, they would often choose to rob their neighbors.
Isn’t there a saying that goes, ‘When my neighbor hoards food, I hoard guns, my neighbor is my granary’?
It is generally used in the logic of the end of the world, and there are no guns in this era. However, during the outbreak of the Black Death, rebels could often be seen burning, killing and looting.
Food, drink, property, and women are all on their ‘shopping list’.
You grab what's on my territory, and I'll grab what's on yours. Of course, it's unreasonable to attack the castle. Looting towns and villages is the most cost-effective way. Therefore, in the end, the unlucky ones are the civilians, no matter whose territory they live on.
These are relatively large-scale dangers and are the easiest to avoid. In fact, when the era of backward technology encounters a huge crisis, everyone seems to be living in a dark forest, and anyone else may be a threat.
The reason why the orangutan is a little nervous is mainly because everyone is not in a good position now.
Scarborough is a historic trading center with a very good geographical location. It is the nearest town outside the mountains. It is believed that prosperous trade activities existed in the second century AD, with both land and sea transportation routes. All merchants will appear here.
This also led to it being one of the areas where the Black Death caused serious deaths. According to some uncertain historical data, before the arrival of the Black Death, there were a total of about 410,000 residents in this area. After the epidemic, only 10,000 people landed.
A painter once painted a painting based on the Black Death here. In a town with red roofs full of flowers, people's corpses were piled higher than the mountain...
Bobo was not worried about his own safety and that of everyone else. After all, it was impossible to let him die with the death knell around, but the orangutan was too soft-hearted and he could not bear to see so many people die.
He is not a superhero, so naturally he won't say anything about saving people. He just needs to prevent himself from seeing the tragic situation.
"Slade, stop joking about medical experiments on orangutans, and don't forget Proraya and her henchmen. People here will soon fall into despair, and they will pray aimlessly to gods and Buddhas in fear. This is the faith canteen of those evil gods."
The orangutan has no intention of eating the food here. Even though the plump waitress has brought wine and food, they smell pretty good.
"So now we know why the world is caged."
Su Ming, who rubbed his palms together, tasted the food here without any hesitation. It was a good chicken dish, at least for the British catering industry in this era:
"If I were Plataea, and my hounds feed on faith, then I would also find a world where the Black Death is spreading, and then coil its time into a ring, so that the people living in it can never enter The escape from reincarnation provides the power of faith in despair and pain like a perpetual motion machine.”
After hearing what he said, Bobo curled his lips. This was indeed a good idea, because as long as painful patients had a glimmer of hope, they would believe anything.
Not to mention the unknown gods, even the demons from hell who appear accompanied by the flames, as long as they can be prevented from suffering from illness, there is nothing that can't be done.
Deathstroke's plan is as dark as ever, and the point is, Plataia may have done the same.
"So have you noticed the time anomaly since you arrived here?" Hermione asked the professor. She had already experienced this, because her own fourth grade was spent in reincarnations, and she went to school almost at the same time. Study abroad in all magic schools.
Although that experience allowed her to wear the school badges of multiple schools at the same time and become the first person in the history of the wizarding world, it was definitely a journey that even top academics would fear.
"You can say that, because what we, the Supreme Mage lineage, are best at is manipulating the timeline."
Su Ming, who was eating, nodded first, then shook his head. He wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth with his thumb:
"But it's different from the situations you have experienced. At that time, you could choose different schools and unfold different stories. But in this world, people have no choice at all. They only have one path."
They are living in a town, waiting to get sick and die, and then one day the timeline returns to the original point, they lose their memory and are resurrected to experience despair again, and the cycle repeats.
The beliefs and various emotions generated during this period were most likely taken away by the gods, who raised these worlds like pigs.
It's kind of like the model from the Dark Tower universe, but there it's more of a prank or a trick show.
Proraya is more pragmatic here, and her methods are more subtle. She hardly does anything superfluous, she just intercepts the original flow of time. Even without her, all this will eventually happen.
"So what can you do?" Jaina took a sip of ale. Born in a country of sailors, she has a good tolerance for low-quality alcohol. Her expression actually looked like she was enjoying it: "If you can, help them. It’s kind of sad to get out of that cycle, even if they don’t know it.”
The little princess is a kind of compassionate girl. Before she learned from Deathstroke, she still sympathized with orcs, let alone seeing humans now.
"The professor must have a way, but there is no need for us to do unnecessary things."
Hermione shook her head, and she used her fingers to draw something like a dough stick on the greasy tabletop:
"It may be possible to block the soul's reincarnation path, but everything you do has a price. We can't waste our energy here. Don't you still have friends and family that need to be saved?"
Obviously the witch didn't want the professor to meddle in his own business. This was a time loop, and otherwise it was an ordinary medieval period, at least not of much significance in the battle against Prolaya.
This is probably just one of the enemy's numerous 'feeding troughs'.
"Huh, I understand, but the people here are also human beings. I know they are going to die, but I can't do anything. I feel a little sorry." Jaina touched the back of her head, looking a little ashamed. Her reason and sensibility made her feel Two different judgments, she didn't know which one was better.
"Actually, I have a way. Not only do I not have to pay the price, I also get extra benefits."
Su Ming took out a test tube from his pocket, which contained sloshing liquid:
"I can rush to infect them with the Stitch Monster virus before they die, turning everyone on the earth into the living dead like the rotting corpses in the Scourge. In this way, they are neither dead nor alive. Then I can use black If the lights control them, you can naturally get rid of Prolaya's plan, what do you think?"
