The news that the number of seriously ill patients had been eliminated spread throughout the city in waves along with the city guards rushing in and out and the men delivering food and firewood.

"Are you all cured?" The cup in Baron Vaughn's hand crashed and shattered. The valet who came to report the news hurriedly said:

"No, no. It's just that those who couldn't get out of bed were cured. Those with mild symptoms were not cured so quickly!"

"...How many people are seriously ill?"

"this……"

"Go and find out!"

The footman darted away. Baron Vaughan glanced at the fragments on the ground with regret and murmured:

"So fast... Old guy Horner doesn't have this ability. If this is true, I have to go to the Temple of the God of War and donate more money..."

"So fast?"

Viscount Joan, who was far away in the manor outside the city, was not slow to get the news. "Yes, yes, I'm tired of staying in this shabby village...Here comes someone! Pack your bags and go back to the city! By the way, are you going?"

"I want to go back! Of course I want to go back!" Mrs. Deya burst into tears: "Master Viscount, please make the decision for me! Roman has been dead for so long, and his body is not allowed to be collected by the temple! Sir, you Just take pity on this son and help him one last time!"

The carriages rolled from the manor outside the city to the temple of the spring goddess in the city. High Priest Horner, who was in charge of the temple, was also frowning and troubled by the news about the Glory Church.

The improvement in the healing capabilities of those two companies is not a good thing for the Spring Goddess Temple. To put it mildly, he will bow his head to the bald bishop; to put it more seriously, the influence of the temple and future donations will be reduced.

"How did they do it? Do you have any more detailed information?"

"Yes, yes!" The person who reported the news nodded like a fool:

"The news we got is that the little guy called the jeweler to tinker with something, and then used that thing to see... saw...

Our people didn't have a chance to get close, and we didn't know what it was, but it seemed that after the elders saw it, they called a group of people together to murmur. Then, today, those who were seriously ill have been cured..."

"Is this so?" The high priest pushed up the round glasses on the bridge of his nose. With his hands behind his back, he walked from east to west, then from west to east. After thinking about it, I frowned:

"I have to go take a look. Someone!... No, forget it, call the jeweler first!"

The jeweler came tremblingly. After pointing fingers and talking for a long time, he still couldn't explain clearly what thing Gretel asked him to build - the only useful information was that you can see very small things with that thing!

"How small?"

"No...I don't know...little man, I saw him drop a drop of water on the glass, and then he went up to look..."

"Then what can you see? - Okay, stop talking, just make it as it is!"

The jeweler went to work crying. Unfortunately, the microscope cannot be built in the blink of an eye. Grete had previously allocated enough manpower for him, and he personally selected the lenses and adjusted the focal length. It also took him an entire night to complete one. High Priest Horner waited and waited, but instead of waiting for the finished product, he got a piece of news:

"Great Priest, it's not good! The Natural God Church has sent word that they are asking for our permission to sprinkle lime into the fountain!"

"Let them go!"

The person who came was trembling and ran away. The high priest threw a cup in anger, summoned the clergy, and continued to pray. After a round of prayer, another message came in:

"Great Priest! The elders of the Natural God Religion asked for a meeting with the bishop of the God of War Temple. They said that the fountain is really polluted and cannot be cleaned until it is cleaned!"

"They even came to our door?!"

The high priest was furious. That is the goddess's holy spring, and it is the goddess's blessing to believers and the city of Heartland. Sprinkling lime into the fountain is no different from blaspheming the goddess!

"Come here!" He stood up angrily. The movement was too hasty, and the silver crown on his head swayed and fell straight down. High Priest Horner simply pulled off the silver crown and smashed it hard on the ground. With a "pop" sound, the silver crown carefully carved with narcissus patterns twisted into a pile:

"Ring the bells and blow the trumpets! Gather all the clergy and tell them that the time has come to defend the glory of the goddess!"

In the deep night, the door of the Spring Goddess Temple suddenly opened. Two columns of guards ran down quickly with torches in hand, and immediately after, the temple knights rushed out with a roar and a murderous intent, their helmets on their heads. Finally, the great priest appeared surrounded by swords and torches, with an angry look on his face:

"Erwin! You've gone too far!"

"We're just here to cleanse the fountain."

A calm voice sounded from the other side, slowly and without any emotion. Just like the thick dark night in front of you, no matter how strong the great priest's anger is, it can only illuminate it for a moment, but cannot tear the entire night apart.

"All water sources in the city, as long as they are polluted, must be thoroughly purified. Horner, please do not interfere."

"You are blaspheming the goddess!" High Priest Horner took a few steps forward and blocked the fountain. Anger made his voice louder, almost sharp:

"This is the goddess's holy spring! It was only temporarily contaminated by patients the day before yesterday. We have held a prayer ceremony and it has been completely purified! Erwin, if you throw debris into the holy spring again, you are blaspheming the goddess!"

"I'm afraid you haven't purified it completely." Elder Erwin sighed softly: "Horner, how about... let's go in first and I'll show you the evidence?!"

"What evidence! There is no evidence! - The goddess's holy spring is absolutely impossible to be unclean!" The high priest refused to say anything and rushed to interrupt him:

"roll!"

The staff in his hand paused, and the three gems on the head of the staff shone brightly at the same time. It was obvious that a divine spell was ready to be unleashed.

"Horner." Elder Erwin sighed softly. The bald bishop also came out and stood side by side with him. At the same time, there was the sound of footsteps in the darkness, and healers and warriors surged out, facing the Spring Temple, and gathered into a menacing semicircle.

"What? You still want to use force?!"

High Priest Horner was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily:

"Without proof or evidence, you are forcing yourself to the door of the temple to blaspheme the glory of the goddess? In this case, even if the temple is weak, it will still fight to the death with you! Guards!"

"exist!"

With a loud sound, the temple knights behind the high priest unsheathed their swords. Elder Erwin struck his oak staff, the bald bishop raised his right hand high, and the warriors stepped forward simultaneously without saying a word. At the moment when the swords were at war, a clear voice suddenly sounded from behind the elder:

"I have proof."

Grete walked out slowly. Elder Erwin quickly looked back at him and tried to stop him, but it was already too late: What are you doing out here! What are you doing out here? You have repeatedly insisted that the water in the temple fountain also needs to be purified. Well, you have also provided evidence. The teacher will stand up for you. What do you do by yourself?

You are just a little level 1 priest, it will do you no good to offend the great priest!

Under the firelight, Grete's expression was calm and calm, and only the black eyes staring at the great priest were dancing with flame-like brilliance. He doesn't necessarily want to be in the limelight. However, Elder Erwin only half understands the relationship between water sample testing, bacterial reproduction and plague. If the teacher comes forward to argue with others, he will definitely not be able to explain clearly...

In order to eliminate the source of infection as soon as possible, he had to come forward in this matter. If you are resented by the great priest, then bear the grudge!

He held a small glass bottle high:

"We tested water samples from all over the city. - This fountain, as well as other water bodies connected to the fountain's water source, all detected the source of the disease. Even the bottle mouth from which the water comes out is no exception. We have reason to suspect that the fountain is releasing water. It has been contaminated before.”

"Gret Nordmark!"

High Priest Horner stared at him, grinding out the boy's name syllable by syllable through his teeth. After wearing a new silver crown, a strand of gray hair that was not tied up stood up almost straight:

"The water source of the fountain is the holy spring given by the goddess in the deepest part of the temple! It was prayed and blessed before it came out, how could there be a problem!"

"I have evidence." Grete repeated calmly: "Your Majesty the High Priest, if you want evidence, I can show it to you. But the matter is urgent, and the plague is still spreading throughout the city. For the health of the people in the city, please You first let us purify the spring water——"

"Oh? Is there any evidence?" A voice interrupted suddenly. At the same time, a long shout sounded outside the circle of people facing each other with swords:

"Your Excellency the City Lord has arrived——"
