Alien paradise

Sandela jumped off the horse and patted a member of the crowd on the shoulder. The latter turned around and saw her uniform and medal, and a smile immediately froze on her face, "What can you do?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to arrest you." She nodded her chin towards the church door, "I want to ask, what's going on here?"

"Oh, you ask this..." The fear in the man's eyes suddenly lifted a little, "I heard that a pharmaceutical company is officially open for business, and they are holding an opening ceremony. They are giving out candy now, and they will give out free medicine later. "

Opening ceremony?

This activity is quite new.

Sandra had only seen a launching ceremony held after a ship was built before. This was the first time she had seen a company opening ceremony, let alone such a loss-making act of giving things to ordinary people.

Businessmen seem to be naturally concerned about losing money.

"Distribute medicine? What kind of medicine can be given away for free?" Woody also led the horse over, "Isn't it something poisonous?"

"Anyway, take it first, there's no need to rush to eat it." The man said with an apologetic smile, "The nun just said that there are medicines for colds and coughs, as well as medicines for diarrhea and stomachache. I've been having a bit of stomach pain recently, so I want to grab it. Be prepared at all times.”

Woody leaned into his boss's ear and whispered, "Nine times out of ten it's a gimmick."

"What do you say?" she asked.

"Ansheng Company also has medicine for diarrhea, and a bottle costs fifteen thalels! Even if the medicine is promoted, it will only be given as a gift to the nobles, and how can it be given for free on the street." Woody explained, "If this If this company really dares to give a large amount of money, then the boss is either crazy, or he is a liar, using placebo to bluff people."

However, commercial disputes are not the main mission of the City Guards.

As long as the medicine is not poisoned, it is a compliant product - after all, the efficacy of medicine varies from person to person, and if someone is deceived, they can only blame themselves for being stupid.

Just as Sandra was about to leave, the noise in the crowd suddenly increased a lot!

She looked forward and saw several more nuns pushing handcarts at the door of the church. These trolleys are actually filled with colorful boxes, which look so beautiful.

"Keep everyone waiting, we will send out the medicine right away! Also, please don't forget to help Destiny Gate Pharmaceutical Company spread the word a little more. Our best medicine is a special medicine against the Scarlet Curse. If anyone around you is infected with this If they have a disease, remember to ask them to come to Yeni Holy Church for treatment. As long as you say a word, they are likely to survive!" the nun shouted hard.

"Okay, let's give out the medicine!"

"If it works, I will help you promote it!"

"Yes, let us give it a try first!" everyone shouted.

But when these words fell in Sandra's ears, they were no less than a bolt from the blue!

"What is she talking about...the special medicine to cure the Scarlet Curse?" Woody also showed a surprised look.

This curse-like disease has always been the most troublesome thing for the army. Especially after the popularity of muskets and steam guns, many people will not die immediately on the battlefield, but die from irreparable deterioration of their wounds after being rescued. Of course, the high priests and divine envoys of the Shenmei Cult can use some arcane artifacts to eliminate the curse, but not every army is lucky enough to receive support from the church. At least, pioneering cities in the New World such as Brilliant Castle cannot receive the attention from above.

For example, during the crackdown on miners' gangs, many city guardsmen died in the camp due to bullet infections. The only thing the city guards could do was to make these people take painkillers provided by Ansheng Company to try to suffer as little pain as possible before they died.

"Go and get some medicine." Sandra ordered.

"Yes." Woody handed the reins to his superior, separated the crowd with force, and pushed forward. Almost five minutes later, he returned to his boss covered in sweat. "They have limited the quantity, so you can only take one box! But there are still a lot of them on the trolley. I think the total number is probably thousands of boxes!"

Sandra took the carton and found that these medicines actually felt fresh and refined.

Yes, they are fresh and refined - they are packed in a small, boxy cardboard box, which is only three or four centimeters long and looks quite delicate. But what’s even more exquisite is that there are actually patterns in different colors on it! For example, the words "Gate of Destiny" are in gold, the door is in green, and the other words are in black.

Just printing these boxes costs a lot of money!

She had only seen similar designs on some boutique gift boxes before.

"They actually wrote the instructions for use!" Woody sighed. "Don't this company know that more than half of the residents of Brilliant Castle are illiterate?"

Sandra also saw these instructions. For example, under the "abdominal clearing tablets", it said, swallow twice a day with warm water; please keep it high and keep out of reach of children, which made it look like a drug seller. People seem to care a lot about whether patients can receive effective treatment.

Opening the box, there was only a thin small paper package stuffed inside. She unfolded the paper package to reveal the golden tablets inside. At the same time, a strong spicy smell escaped, which was pungent but not offensive. It smelled similar to raw garlic. If you are a liar, you will obviously not take the time to add flavor to the starch flakes.

"I'm wondering... is there another possibility..."

"What?" Woody tilted his head.

"Aside from the fact that the boss is a lunatic or a liar, there is another possibility - that is, this person really hopes that their products can help more patients, even if they make less money." Sandra slowly said said.

The adjutant was stunned and did not answer.

It was obvious that he didn't believe it.

Sandela smiled slightly and did not continue talking about this topic, but the originally gloomy sky seemed to have regained some brightness. It is undeniable that there are still some people in this city who hope that the future will become better, such as the nuns of Yeni Holy Church, and for example... myself.

"I remember there are still a few soldiers infected with the Scarlet Curse in the camp, right?" She put away the medicine box and got on her horse, "After searching the house on Oak Street, you can send them to the Yeni Temple to try. "

"Sir, is this inappropriate?" Woody frowned, "Only miners and poor people will be left to Yeni... We have our own medical doctors and sufficient medicines. You can send them here. In the eyes of the soldiers, I'm afraid it's the same as abandonment."

"We do have everything, but we just can't cure the scarlet curse, can we?"

"What if the Holy Temple can't cure it? Everyone knows that the scarlet curse is difficult to cure. If they die in the military camp, it can only mean bad luck." The adjutant dissuaded, "But if they die in the Yeni Holy Church, , that will deal a blow to your prestige!"

Sandra looked at Woody.

Her eyes were piercing, and there was a vague sense of silent majesty. After looking at each other for a moment, Woody couldn't help but lower his head.

"More than this prestige, I need my men to survive more. Do you understand?"

This time the adjutant no longer objected.

"Yes, I obey."
