Chapter 108
"Enough!"
Viscount Joane Vaughn, observing coldly, finally spoke at this moment. He ignored Lady Deya, who was crying uncontrollably, surveyed the scene, and loudly concluded:
"This plague, instigated by the insane Roman Knight, blaspheming the gods, has attracted evil forces. The temple has worked tirelessly to purify and eliminate the majority of the evil, but a small portion leaked out, causing the epidemicany objections?"
"Praise your fairness." High Priest Holna, the devotees of the Water Goddess, and others, including Baron Vaughn, who had hurried back upon hearing the news, responded in unison.
"The Temple of the Water Goddess, due to negligence in supervision and failure to completely purify the evil, will be responsible for all the expenses incurred in treating the plague and comforting the people!"
High Priest Holna reluctantly agreedbetter than the temple facing divine punishment.
Viscount Joane Vaughn pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with the resentful High Priest Holna, and emphasized:
"Roman Knight blasphemed the gods, abandoned knightly virtues, committed a great crime. Stripped of knighthood, confiscate his property!"
No one on the scene voiced objections.
The only one screaming and crying, Lady Deya, had her ability to speak stripped away by a divine spell from High Priest Holna, and temple guards dragged her out.
Viscount Joane Vaughn turned away, no longer looking at his aged and faded old lover. He turned to Elder Elwin Wilkinson and the bald Archbishop, speaking with a pleasant expression:
"This time, thanks to both of you. The people are still suffering from the plague, not a time for celebration. When the epidemic ends, I will personally host a banquet to thank you for your hard work."nove(l)bi(n.)com
Viscount Joane Vaughn kept his word. Seven days later, the patients in the Radiant Cathedral were completely clear, with only occasional cases in the city. He hosted a grand feast, inviting all the prominent figures in the city.
Garrett was also dragged along. Reluctantly sitting at the feast, he looked around and almost burst into laughter
Except for the group of nobles who had run out together before, the guest list included all those people he had gathered on the day he discovered the epidemic. Everyone was invited!
Food merchants, dye merchants, guild leaders in construction, jewelers...
These businesses, neither too small nor too big, were usually not qualified to be invited by the city lord's mansion. Now they were sitting at the banquet, bewildered and even trembling.
Don't worry; I won't fleece you...
Garrett wanted to tell them that.
But his seat was relatively close to those businessmen and craftsmen, and he could only wink at them.
Even though he's now a formal mage, with an empty wallet, he still can't afford it...
Success!
Big profit!
Lord Vaughn, you're really a good person!
Garrett was almost about to cheer. The corners of his mouth kept rising, still maintaining a humble posture, and he whispered:
"If possible, I would like to have the qualification to open a clinic in the city. Like my teacher, to diagnose and care for the health of the poor..."
Open a hospital!
Hire doctors!
Hire nurses!
Spread medical knowledge, treat patients, and pave the way for your own upgrade!
In the ears of Lord Vaughn, this request was entirely selfless, benefiting others. Viscount Joane Vaughn was deeply moved, once again patting Garrett's shoulder with force:
"Garrett Nordmark, you are a spellcaster with noble sentiments. I want people to sing your praises and reward your virtue. Nolan!"
The captain of the city guard stepped forward again. Viscount Joane Vaughn rubbed his fingers:
"In Roman's private property, are there several estates? Take one out, and choose a house in the city. All of it will be transferred to Garrett Nordmark's name!
I want everyone to know that those who contribute, those with high moral character, I, Lord Joane Vaughn, will not mistreat them!"
Wow!
A place for a hospital!
Funds for operation are also available! A whole estate, enough to cover the daily expenses of the hospital. Next, it's just medicines, equipment, doctors, and nurses!
Garrett, go for it!
