Our family is in decline

Lance walked into it. In addition to the projects, the bustling port area was also filled with merchant ships loading and unloading goods.

The goods purchased from other places are unloaded, and then some Hamlet products are loaded on the cargo ship, most of which are agricultural and sideline products.

Even if there are a few farms in Totnes supplying food, for a giant city with a population of dozens or even millions, these will always be in short supply.

What Lance spent money to buy were all kinds of tools that were difficult for Hamlet to produce, including a lot of metals and gunpowder.

But what was shipped back was some ordinary agricultural and sideline products.

If we use agriculture to repay industry, can we imagine the price difference? He has to make up for this.

Lance called it the pain of development, and he didn’t know how long it would last...

While the dock was busy, Lance saw the Roma people boarding the uniquely shaped boat.

Five hundred Roma people brought a lot of trouble to Hamlet. Although Lance deliberately added fuel to the flames and wanted to use their heads to establish his authority, it was still a trouble after all.

This is still the first batch. The Roma people in the east and northeast of the empire are estimated to have two to three thousand people, and there will be several more waves.

But with these lessons learned, he should be more honest, otherwise Lance wouldn't mind charging a small fine.

Seeing those Roma people boarding the ship in a steady stream, Lance quickly discovered that something was wrong. The Roma space expansion technology was definitely used in this ship.

For extraordinary organizations that have been able to survive and develop in this world for so many years, these guys still have good things in their hands, such as psychic networks and this kind of space technology.

Although Lance is a little greedy, now is not the time.

Soon the Roma ship was loaded, and they left Hamlet with their compatriots, leaving only one person standing on the dock.

"How about it? Do you want to go with us~"

The sound of Lance's voice awakened Amanda's thoughts, and when she turned around, she saw him standing next to her.

"I have been to Totnes, which is indeed very prosperous, but it makes me feel like an old man who is so fat that he can only lie in bed. The wounds all over his body are rotting but he uses perfume and luxurious clothes to cover them up, revealing a kind of Smells of corruption.”

Lance heard this but didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he expressed his understanding of Totnis.

"It's normal. Judging from the productivity of this era, that land can't accommodate so many people, so Totnes is destined to be a deformed city.

Moreover, as the relationship network between the nobles developed and stabilized over the years, the feudal atmosphere was deeply integrated into Totnes.

When any action will involve all aspects, it will become more conservative and repulsive to the outside world. This is a bottleneck for development and no one can avoid it.

It's like a patient who has lost the ability to take care of himself. Sometimes it's not that the brain doesn't want to live, but that the pain can spread throughout the body just by moving a little.

If you don't cut off the diseased part ruthlessly, you may be able to move your fingers at first, but slowly as the pain worsens, you can only wait for death in the hospital bed. "

To some extent both sides could see Totnes's predicament, but Amanda only felt and expressed disgust at the style of the city.

But Lance told the reason and analyzed why Totnes became like this.

What goes up must come down, a law that cannot be escaped in modern times, let alone the productivity conditions of the feudal era.

This is Lance’s answer from a historical perspective.

Presumably Hamlet also declined at the hands of his ancestors back then...

Amanda thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

"What do you think will happen to Totnes?"

"Who knows~" Lance smiled and did not intend to continue the topic. Instead, he said, "Everything is just a scene in history. Sometimes it will be very tiring to think too much. If I could, I would think about something. I don’t even know how to spend my whole life happily.”

After saying that, Lance lost interest and turned around and walked back.

Amanda didn't know why, but the moment she heard this, she felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart. It was her natural instinct, as if she had stepped into something terrifying.

But this time she did not run away, but chose to follow him.

"Is it really okay for us to get that information out?"

“As Hamlet develops and opens up it is inevitable that it cannot be hidden.”

"Then why is it announced that Hamlet can cure leprosy, which is a divine punishment? If such news spreads, it will probably attract the attention of the church, right?"

One thing Amanda didn't understand was why did Lance add this?

"Because Hamlet has to make a name for himself, and conquering leprosy, a plague that has had no successful precedent for thousands of years, will make Hamlet's name resound throughout the world, and medical-related talents from around the world will gather here."

Hamlet's reappearance in the world must be different from before.

But there is really nothing that can be done, and Lance does not want to expose his strong strength, so medical treatment is a good entry point.

It won't be very offensive, but the topic will be widely spread. At the same time, it will attract many medical-related talents, drive the local economy of Hamlet, and promote the development of Hamlet's medical care.

It was somewhat reluctant to rely on Paracelsus alone. Lance felt a little distressed when he saw that she was extremely tired from working overtime every day.

After all, if he died suddenly, where would he find such a useful and talented animal?

After hearing this, Amanda thought about it and understood, but there was still a very crucial question.

"But the treatment doesn't seem to be over yet. When will leprosy be truly cured?"

"Today!" The smile on Lance's face became brighter, and his movements were full of confidence.

Then he turned to Amanda and said, "Since you are so curious, let's take a look together."

To be honest, Amanda was a little curious about these. After all, it was a disease that had been prevalent for thousands of years. The Roma people had also been infected. It was not that they had not tried to save people, but in the end they had to give up.

So many doctors and so many mysterious supernatural beings have not been able to complete large-scale treatment. Now it is done by three people. This is somewhat miraculous.

But what makes Amanda even more happy is that Lance brought her. This is a kind of trust and she has been recognized by him.

There are strict management regulations in the leprosy camp. Even though Lance knows that leprosy is not highly contagious, this is not a normal world view. Who knows if there will be any special extraordinary mutations?

Not to mention that the ancestor is still watching. If he takes the opportunity to do something and add some extraordinary power to the virus, it will be troublesome.

Caution is a virtue, so Lance's isolation measures are very strict. Only three people can enter and leave here. Even he has to wear a mask, a full-body coat, and gloves.

After coming out, these things must be sterilized in boiling water and exposed to the sun. Even though there is no risk of infection, he is still abiding by the management regulations he has formulated.

You must set an example to prevent others from underestimating the contagiousness of leprosy, all in order to isolate the spread of the plague.

After wearing the above-mentioned equipment, Amanda also entered it.

To be honest, Amanda was mentally prepared, but only after entering it did she realize that she was still too naive.

It was now morning, and the patients were sitting outside basking in the sun. The exposed molten wax-like skin with tumors of various sizes, as well as the twisted and monstrous faces that were almost unrecognizable, made Amanda feel sick. Unspeakable pressure!

Just like stepping into an abyss and facing a strange demon, the terrifying pressure in my heart suddenly surged, causing my body to instinctively reject it and want to turn around and escape from here.

Her hands moved slightly, indicating that she was ready to draw out a weapon at any time. If those patients dared to approach her, they would probably attack without hesitation.

"It's okay to resist. The confrontation between viruses and humans has long exceeded historical records, but our instincts still remember that because of their appearance, these mean danger, and our instincts are warning you to leave."

Lance did not deny her reaction, but affirmed it.

This is the reaction a normal person should have. I couldn't resist it at first, so there was no need to demand too much from her.

"Wait for me first." Lance said and walked towards those people.

Only then did Amanda react, and then she saw Lance go up to say hello to those people, and then started chatting. He seemed not to be affected at all.

And judging by the looks of those patients, it was obvious that this was nothing strange.

It was already very strange for her for a noble lord to interact with ordinary people peacefully. The so-called nobles she had met, even a small knight, would not even glance at an ordinary person, let alone a big noble.

But he can actually do this in the face of infectious patients...

In fact, Lance didn't do much, just asked about some situations.

Unlike the herbal medicines used on Baldwin which were extremely effective but violent, the herbal medicines used on them were relatively mild and were mainly used to control the disease.

After this period of cultivation, although they still look so deformed and weird, their condition has improved. At least they can take care of themselves, and they can help each other even if they have difficulties.

"There is no divine punishment curse. It's just a virus. What pushes them into the abyss is not the pain, but the fear of others." He took Amanda for a brief walk outside and explained about leprosy. situation, as well as religious and secular persecution against them.

"I have never thought of this kind of thing before." Amanda was also thoughtful, she didn't expect these things.

As a member of the Transcendents, Amanda has an organization behind her that is responsible for various things. More importantly, she faces various tasks, hunts down various enemies, and fights for the organization is the main responsibility of the Omen Seeker.

She basically has not had much contact with ordinary people's lives, and she is even less aware of this situation.

"To be honest, there is no difference between getting leprosy and dying, because there is currently no treatment at all, even with the help of extraordinary power, but who can accept the price?"

"Hmm~" Amanda nodded in agreement subconsciously, but reacted in a flash, "But..."

Just as he was about to ask something, Lance focused on the entrance of the camp.

"I know what you're trying to say, but that's them and that ends today."

Lance strode over and said to himself: "God's punishment? Humph~"

Amanda met his gaze and saw two people who were also "fully armed" walking in, and seemed to have sensed the solemn atmosphere.

But she was already here, so she had no choice but to lean in and follow them into the ward.

"Baldwin, how are you feeling today?"

Lance walked in first, and his words were full of positive tone, and it didn't sound like the negative emotions he had with Amanda just now.

"It's good. I can feel that my body is recovering, but after changing the course of treatment, the recovery time after each treatment is getting longer and longer."

The logic of Baldwin's speech is still relatively clear now, and although his voice is still a little hoarse, it doesn't make him gasp for breath before finishing a sentence.

It can be seen that Baldwin's condition is much better than before when he was half-dead and lingering. Most of the swelling on his face has been eliminated. He can finally open his eyes completely, and his white eyeballs have regained some of their color.

The deformed and swollen sarcomas on the body have also become shrunken and reduced a lot. The skin is like dry bark, and the black hair is wrinkled like necrotic and dried tissue.

These are the scars left by the leprosy virus, which are irreversible. Even if the leprosy bacteria are killed, they can only maintain this ugly appearance.

Lance actually understood what he was talking about, because there was actually one missing step in the treatment during this period, which was that he used [Flesh and Flesh Reconstruction] to eliminate the negative part of the medicine.

The reason is naturally that Baldwin's body has improved significantly after several previous treatments, and he has gained an advantage in the fight against the virus for a long time.

So in order to treat other leprosy patients in the future, Greendale was trying to use herbal medicine and the patient's own recovery ability to eliminate the aftereffects of the medicine.

The three people unanimously approved this proposal, and Paracelsus wanted to get research data on the sequelae of the drug.

Lance is also willing to save his spiritual energy and observe whether it can be popularized. After all, it is impossible to do it every day, and his time is precious.

As for the consequences, it would take longer for Baldwin to recover before he could proceed to the next round. At the same time, the effects of the potion would become more complex, and Greendale would need to prepare new herbs.

But after so many days, most of it has been completed, and now we have finally come to the last course of treatment.

Lance and the two doctors first questioned Baldwin in detail, then examined and recorded it. After these preliminary preparations were completed, Lance spoke.

"Everyone, get ready. Whether you succeed or not depends on today."

This sentence made everyone become serious. Amanda, who looked like an outsider on the side, also felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, but she didn't understand anything and could only stand honestly.

Several other people have already started the familiar treatment process.

Lance took the potion from Greendale and handed it over.

Baldwin drank the potion and lay on the hospital bed.

"Observation record of the seventh course of treatment..." Paracelsus still read out in that cold tone, writing something on the paper with the quill in his hand.

Thank you [Purple Sakura Blossoms] for the 100 reward
