Reading Room
The sun shines through the open window into the room, illuminating the spacious bedroom.
Sitting on the bed, the blond little prince held out his hand obediently and showed it to the doctor sitting by the bed. The elderly physician, whose hair was already graying, held the prince's hand and looked carefully at the wound on his wrist. Then, he turned his head again, looked at the prince's ankle seriously, and nodded slightly.
When he looked up, he saw the little prince sitting on the bed, with big golden eyes looking at him eagerly, his eyes full of expectation.
The cute little appearance made the old doctor laugh. If it weren't for the noble prince, he could not help touching the child's head.
He liked the little prince in his heart, he was well-behaved, obedient, and sensible.
He is the best doctor in the city of Wiener. The children of the noble officials are looking for him when they get sick. The children are afraid of taking medicine. When they see him, they make a lot of noise. When they get hurt, they are afraid of pain and death. It took a lot of effort to finish it, and even someone who was spoiled badly pointed at him and yelled at him to kill him.
When he hurried over that day and was secretly reminded of the prince of Aaron Landis, he sighed thinking that he was going to suffer again. The prince is much more honorable than those noble children. If he accidentally hurts him, he might really be dragged down and jailed. How could his old arms and legs stand it?
However, as soon as he entered the door, the old doctor was taken aback. The child's injuries were serious, and the cuts on his hands and feet were deep. If he was not careful, he would not stop bleeding, especially the shallow one on his neck.
I don't know who is so cruel and murderous against such a small child.
Seeing such a serious injury, the healer's heart was overwhelming, and he couldn't even think about it. He hurriedly cleaned up the wound carefully, disinfected it, and then tried to stop the bleeding and tie the bandage.
Waiting for the lap to be finished, he wiped his sweat, and then realized that he has been tossing for so long, especially when cleaning and disinfecting, such a deep wound will make people feel very painful, I am afraid that an adult will not be able to bear it. live. But the little prince, let alone the quarrel, seemed to be just snorting a few times from beginning to end?
As soon as he looked up, he saw the pale face of the little prince, and there was cold sweat on his forehead. It was obviously painful, but he still sat still obediently, and the hand that reached him did not shrink. He could see the tooth marks on the soft lips that were bitten out by him in pain.
There was still a little mist in the big golden eyes, so that the old doctor was too soft to see.
At that time, there was a tall man with brown hair spinning around in a hurry, getting in the way, was scolded by the old doctor and kicked out, so he could only squat by the door and wait honestly. The other boy stared at the little prince without blinking, but he had been standing beside him quietly, and from time to time he helped the old doctor pass things and beat him, but the old doctor didn't drive him out.
Thinking of this, the old doctor smiled gently, looking at the child whose face had changed back to a healthy ruddy color.
"Prince, your injury is much better."
Regarding the look in Gallan's expectant eyes, he deliberately paused for a while, and drew Gallan's appetite before continuing.
"You can get out of bed and move around a little bit...but not too vigorously, you know?"
As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, Gallan's eyes lit up.
He hummed happily, and then couldn't wait to get out of bed.
God knows that after a few days of returning to Wiener City, he lay on the bed for a few days. Although he could not get moldy in the sun, he felt that if he continued to lie down, his limbs would be paralyzed.
He got out of bed and happily walked back and forth in the room several times, like a lively little squirrel that just woke up from hibernation and began to wander back and forth.
The old doctor looked at him with a smile and was taken away from here.
It didn't take long for an attendant to come in and bowed his head to Gallan in a salute.
He said: "His Royal Highness Gallan, the king asked me to take you over to see him."
"Brother Wang? I see."
Under the leadership of the young attendant, Garland crossed the promenade. There was a suspended stone bridge between the tall building in the center of the government affairs hall and the tall building on the side.
When walking through the suspended stone bridge, Garlan looked down, and he just saw the pile of corpses on the side of the Venal River outside the city, and he suddenly felt a bit in his heart.
Almost forgot!
I planned to tell Brother Wang as soon as possible, but when I was interrupted by the refugee riot, I didn't think of it for a while.
No, he has to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise, if this continues, the city may soon be plagued.
But, what reason should use to persuade Brother Wang?
The current medical standards in this world are far from being able to understand such things as bacterial infections.
Garlan wondered, while following the attendant, and soon arrived in the administration room where King Camos was staying.
There were several knights standing next to King Camos. All of them hung a two-finger-wide lion badge on their chests, with a simple brass luster, symbolizing their identity as the commander of thousands of cavalry. In Aaron Landis, the people who can become a thousand knights are unique knights.
Seeing Garlan coming in, the three knight commanders bowed their heads and saluted him.
If before they came to Venar City, their respect for Gallan was purely for the royal family and the accompanying respect for King Camos, then at this time, their salute was a little more sincere.
Although the little prince looked weak, he still possessed the courage they recognized and the caring heart for his subordinates.
And they also feel that even if the prince is a little weaker now, if the prince is still young, as long as he works harder in the future, maybe he will become as strong as King Camos when he grows up?
King Camos didn't care about the presence of the knight commanders, and strode over, laughing and holding little Gallan up.
He himself felt that, in front of others, he could hold back his cute little brother, and he was already very restrained.
"Gallan, you did a great job this time."
He praised his brother without hesitation.
"Take a personal risk, rescue Aaron Landis's young people, and then, successfully stop the rioting refugees, no one can do better than you. This time, the merits of Wiener City, You account for at least half."
He said, "So, I will reward you. Come on, Garland, what do you want?"
When Gallan, who was still worrying, heard what King Camos said, his eyes lit up.
Isn't this just right?
He thought happily, grabbed Brother Wang's head and turned half a circle, and pointed to the front to let King Camos walk by the window.
The knight commanders beside them all stood aside calmly.
If this is someone else who dared to break the ground on their great King Camos like this, they would have yelled at him or even made a move.
But for the little prince who was spoiled by King Camos to the sky, from time to time they grabbed their king's head, tugged his hair or even slapped their cheeks. They were used to numbness.
Anyway, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, but is the happy appearance of the king who has not seen them?
If they really stepped forward to stop the little prince's offensive behavior, they would be beaten by King Camos himself if they said no.
Without knowing the whispers of the knight commanders behind him, Gallan motioned his brother Wang to come to the window, and then pointed in a direction outside the window.
"Brother Wang, look there."
Looking in the direction Garlan was pointing, Camos subconsciously frowned.
Because he saw a mountain of corpses piled up on the banks of the Venal River outside the city. Most of the corpses buried underneath were drowned when the river flooded, and the outermost layer was almost all the corpses of people who died recently. From a distance, you can see countless flies flying on the carrion corpses, lingering.
"Those people are so pathetic."
Gallan tried to show a child's sympathy for the dead whose bodies were not collected.
"Brother Wang, you ask someone to bury them in the mountains, okay?"
In fact, Gallan wanted to directly say that it was burned. Cremation of this pathogen is the best way. But now the customs on the earth are very ancient. People here believe that humans have souls. Even if they die, their bodies and souls are deeply connected. Link. If you get the blessing of the gods, the dead soul may be able to return to the body to resurrect. Therefore, they attach great importance to the integrity of the corpse and have always respected burial. Some special ethnic groups will bury the corpse in sky and water, but there is absolutely no such practice as cremation.
For them, the so-called cremation is to frustrate the bones and spread the ashes, even with their souls flying to ashes and annihilation, unless they have a deep hatred with the other party, no one will do such ‘vicious’ things.
So Garlan had to take a step back and let people drag these corpses into the mountains to bury them.
"Garlan." Camos smiled at him and said, "I know you are soft-hearted, but everyone is very busy now, and the river is in danger of flooding. Everyone went there."
Recently, the Venal River seems to be rising again. Most of the city guards who maintain the order of the city went to the river embankment to urgently repair the embankment. The remaining city guard is already very reluctant to maintain order in the city and resettlement of refugees, and it is impossible to allocate manpower to do something purely to make the little prince happy.
The guards under his command...King Camos didn't even think about it. After all, the knights under his command were all aristocrats, and it was absolutely impossible to carry the corpses of civilians and slaves.
He coaxed the little brother in his arms and said: "But our Garlan is kind, so wait a minute, when this wave of Venal River flood season has passed, I will ask them to bury the corpses again. it is good?"
Gallan was in a hurry.
Wait for a while? Is it ten days or half a month? I am afraid that at that time, the plague in the entire city of Venal had already erupted.
He tried to organize appropriate language to explain the contamination of water sources with germs.
"But Brother Wang, you see, many of those people died of illness. They got sick, and now they are soaking in the water. The illness may melt into the water, and the people in the city have to drink water again. You will get the same disease as them!"
That kind of kid's words made King Camos laugh for a while, only thinking how his little prince was so cute.
Not only him, but the knight commanders nearby also laughed in a low voice.
Although the prince did a great job, he was still a child after all, so whimsical.
They all think so.
King Camos smiled and rubbed Garlan's head with an anxious look.
"Little guy, are you fainted? How can a person's disease melt into the water?"
Seeing King Camos and the several knight commanders laughing, and not caring about what he said at all, Gallan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't say it.
Everyone thought that he was speaking such childish remarks only because of sympathy that he wanted to bury the poor refugees who had no corpses. No one took his words seriously.
Due to the limitations of this era, even if doctors are called, those doctors will not agree with him.
It is impossible to act like a baby...Gallan knows the temper of Brother King Kamos very well. Although Brother King spoils him and is used to him, he will never change his mind on business matters just to make him happy.
After coaxing his little brother, King Camos continued to stand with his knight commanders at the square table covered with a map, and to discuss with the map how to prevent the Venar River from flooding again.
And Gallan was placed on a soft soft chair, with a plate of fragrant milk cakes and a cup of sweet juice in front of him, but Gallan pressed his lips, obviously not thinking about eating.
He bent his knees in the soft chair, blinked, his mind was spinning quickly.
While thinking hard, he unconsciously swept his gaze away from the people on the opposite side.
A golden light flashed in his eyes. He fixed his eyes and saw a four-finger-wide pure gold armband worn on King Camos' upper arm.
In an instant, his eyes lit up.
The little prince jumped off the chair and ran to the side of King Camos. He stretched out his little hand and pulled the corner of King Camos's clothes.
"Brother Wang~~~"
He yelled, and tugged again.
As soon as Camos looked down, he saw the child who looked up at him with a small face, and his golden eyes looked at him brightly.
He couldn't help but smile, and lifted Garlan up and put it on the table.
"What? What reward do you think you want?"
"Um!"
The little white hand stretched out in front of King Camos, and Garlan looked at Camos with bright eyes.
"Brother Wang, give me gold coins, Aaron gold coins."
"what?"
King Camos was taken aback.
He didn't expect that Garlan thought for a long time and actually wanted gold coins.
Is his little brother short of money?
He thought, he has never treated this child materially?
Gallan's words changed the faces of the knight commanders next to him slightly. For them, it is not a good thing for the heir to the throne to love money.
"Brother Wang~~"
Gallan shouted again, the child's voice was still childlike, soft and sweet, like a sweet little milk cake, and his big golden eyes gleamed as he watched him.
All of a sudden, the hesitant King Camos relented.
"It can be... but you have to tell Brother Wang, what do you want gold coins for?"
"Go hire someone."
"what?"
"Didn't Brother Wang say that there is a shortage of manpower? But I see that the refugees are all fine now, so I give them money to hire them and ask them to help me bury the corpses. Isn't that enough?"
"Uh... this is a way."
King Camos thought for a while, and felt that this idea was indeed good.
Although those refugees have been properly settled, it is easy to cause riots if they don't do anything, so you can do something for them. Although he felt that what Garland wanted to do was unnecessary, as the king of Aaron Landis, he was not short of wealth, and it was no big deal to spend some gold coins to make his little brother happy.
After thinking about it, he smiled and touched Garlan's head to praise him.
"Yes, that's great, Gallan is so smart."
The knight commanders glanced at each other, and they were also relieved.
Fortunately, the little prince does not seem to be the kind of person who is greedy for money.
When King Camos was satisfied, the knight commanders breathed a sigh of relief, and Gallan who had achieved the goal was also happy. When everyone was overjoyed, a cold voice suddenly came in.
"King Camos, you dote on Prince Garland too much."
The priest Shamash, who stepped into the administration room, said with a blank face, and glanced at Garlan who was sitting on the table.
"You shouldn't let him do such meaningless things because of his temper."
Camos scratched his head.
"I have promised him."
"So please pay attention next time."
As she said, she walked to the table and looked down at the map on the table.
Then, frowned.
"The rise of the Wiener River is getting stronger and stronger?"
A knight commander replied: "Yes, the silt has accumulated a lot, and the river bed is very high. This time I don’t know if I can make it through, but I have seen the river embankment. It's hard to hold it up."
He pointed his finger at the location of the city of Vernal on the map, as well as the nearby section of the Vernal River.
"Here, and here, the riverbed is already more than one meter above the ground." He frowned and said, "Even if someone is arranged to clean up the silt in the dry season, when the water is released again, the riverbed that has finally been dug down will be again. It will be filled up by the silt brought."
"We can only think of a way to raise the embankment again, but the problem is that with our technology, the height of the embankment is almost reaching its limit, and it is difficult to ensure the stability of the embankment if it is increased further."
Xiemuer looked at the map carefully, then reached out and clicked nearby.
"There is a valley here," he said. "There is also a dry river."
"If it is not possible to continue to raise the embankment, we can only find a way to dredge the water to other places, and it is best to connect the Vener River with this dry channel."
"You mean, build a channel between here? The distance is a bit far, I'm afraid it will take a long time..."
"Yes, that's something to be done later. At the moment we need to build a temporary channel to lead the water from the Väner River to this nearby valley, where the terrain is low."
"But, in such a short time to dig a channel, we need a lot of manpower to rush to work, and it is too late to transfer from a nearby city..."
King Camos touched his chin and thought, suddenly his eyes lit up.
At almost the same time, Xie Mu'er also raised his head.
At the same time, the two looked at Garlan, who was sitting on the table looking down and wondering how much he would best pay for carrying a corpse.
"Those refugees."
Xie Muer said that the words were concise and concise, and the others realized it instantly.
Yes, they can use the money to hire those refugees to dig channels according to Prince Garland's practice.
Not only can it prevent the river from breaking down the river embankment again, but it can also find long-term jobs for those refugees, so that the poor can earn money, and those refugees will no longer have any thoughts when they consume their energy in this kind of high-intensity physical work. Things like rebellion.
Three birds with one stone.
King Camos hugged his little brother and kissed him fiercely.
"Gallan, you are really my lucky god!"
After kissing him, he rushed out the door anxiously, letting people prepare to recruit refugees.
The little prince, who was still thinking about giving out money, was suddenly kissed hard, and was a little bit embarrassed for a while.
As soon as he looked up, he saw King Camos leaving in a hurry. He was inexplicably, and he turned his head and saw Xie Muer standing beside him, staring at him faintly with his eyes.
The look in his eyes made him a little hairy.
...Has a very bad feeling.
"His Royal Highness Gallan, your injury seems to have healed."
The priest of Shamash said that the tone could not be denied.
"So, starting tomorrow, you will study with me for two hours a day."
Gallan: "!!!"
Wait, did I do anything?!
