Chapter 100
The Temple of the Spring Goddess stood firmly at the roots of Hartland City. Shortly after the High Priest released the people, news from the outside world began to pour in.
"They are taking the patients away, the City Guards are doing it!"
"The City Guards have dispatched people to patrol the streets, going door to door. If someone is sick, they take them to the Radiant Cathedral!"
"The priests of the Nature God Cult and the War God Temple have all gathered at the Radiant Cathedral!"
"It is said that it was a resolution made by the Nature God Cult, War God Temple, and City Guards together..."
"We saw Baron Vaughn's servants..."
The more the High Priest listened, the more his brows furrowed.
The Nature God Cult, War God Temple, and City Guards, these three coming together always made him think of a somewhat annoying name.
However, these were all irrelevant. The most important thing was, who was the guy spreading nonsense?
"High Priest, we have found out" another attendant rushed in, panting for breath.
"These ideas were all from someone named Garrett... Garrett something, the one who visited the temple last time..."
"Garrett Nordmark!"
The High Priest raised an eyebrow.
That little guy again!
He was the one who came to confront them before;
During the Midsummer Festival, he declared the city's water source needed cleaning;
And when treating Master Lorenz's grandson, he arrogantly taught two senior priests as if they were his students!
That old man Elwin spoiled his students, the bald bishop went crazy following him every day, pampering that kid to the point where he questioned even the blessings of the Spring Goddess!
He angrily slammed the table, "Men! Prepare the procession, we're paying them a visit!"
Although the idea came from the little guy, those two sly old guys must have nodded in agreement behind his back. A bunch of troublemakers! Shaking the faith in the Spring Goddess, were they trying to expand their influence?
"Enough!" High Priest Holna, furious, flicked his sleeves. The other party had laid out all the details, and leaving now would seem guilty; waiting here to watch someone feed rabbits would appear foolish. Garrett nodded respectfully, bowing his head and speaking softly:
"Of course, if you are tight on funds, we can also buy the rabbits for you"
In response, a pouch of coins was thrown at him.
The rabbits were quickly bought. Garrett calmly marked the water samples, labeled the rabbit cages according to the samples, and fed them separately. He even made sure to do things thoroughly; the water dishes used for feeding were taken straight from the steamer, each rabbit having its own dish without mixing.
Then came the long wait.
After feeding the rabbits, Garrett discreetly left. Elder Elwin and the bald Bishop had exhausted their healing spells for the day. Both sat idle, one on the left and one on the right of the rabbits, praying individually. High Priest Holna sat in the middle, bored, waiting until the red sun sank, night fell, and then...
The rabbits got diarrhea.
Except for the few rabbits that drank cold boiled water, the rest, including those who drank fountain water, began to have diarrhea one after another.
Bald Bishop: "..."
Elder Elwin: "..."
No quarreling, no blaming each other; just a few rabbits brought out to face them, it was perfect!
High Priest Holna: "..."
In front of everyone's eyes, his old face looked like it was smeared with rabbit dung. Finally, he flicked his sleeves:
"The Holy Spring must be contaminated. I will organize prayers and purify the water source but, prohibiting the people from taking water from the fountain is absolutely impossible!"
"I'm afraid it really needs to be prohibited." Garrett walked in with large strides, a serious expression on his face. He bowed slightly to Elder Elwin:
"Teacher, many of the early patients took water from the temple's fountain."
"You?!"
High Priest Holna was shocked and angered. Garrett looked at him seriously, not backing down:
"I have evidence!"
