The black plague might co, mixed within the cargo of the San Flueve Market
At that ti, Falma ran into the San Flueve University of dicines presidents room, and told his father about the looming threat of a terrible plague. His father is busy with his administrative work and research as the president, and has not returned to their mansion.
Umu, the country of Nedales colony island was eradicated because of a mysterious plague huh. It has also reached my ears. The origin of the disease has yet to be found even in Norbatz, you think that it is the black plague
The pest, the black plague it is called in this world, it is an epidemic that lastly appeared 210 years ago. Bruno has deciphered past literature, and recognizes the fear of the black plague. It is said there were dark violet colored stigmas that would remain on the patients skin, and that which was called as the black plague had trendous infectivity, and it was only when several cities including the patients were burned to destruction using fla divine arts that it was settled.
I am thinking that it is the black plague
The black plague is deep-rooted. It is written in literature that it would seem that it had settled, but would relapse many tis. So of the cargo that was traded from the plagued island, it might have entered the imperial capital through the land. The rchants ship that would sell directly from that colony should arrive at the port of Marseille
It would be post fact report, but I will instruct to set up a quarantine station in the port of Marseille
Umu, a good decision
Bruno assessed Falmas asures.
If the black plague enters the imperial capital, it would be the end of the imperial capital
Bruno said, dicine that heals the black plague does not exist, and the only thing the doctor and apothecaries was only to count the number of deaths. If the black plague occurs in the densely populated imperial capital, the reality of the downfall of the empire will increase.
The empires calamity would be needed to be scorched by the flas of divine arts.
After all, we do not have a way to fight against the black plague
No, we can fight
Falma answered imdiately.
Is that true?! That is an incurable deadly disease that no one knows its true nature
It looks like Bruno was overwheld by Falmas words.
We can fight. Just like the ti with the white plague, I have a weapon
The effective drug for the plague is an antibiotic (anti-bacterial drug), there are many drugs that was developed on Earth, and there are even many choices. however, in this situation where the Marseille Pharmaceutical Factory has yet been completed, in the level of this worlds laboratory,there was no drug that canbe mass synthesizedthat can be prepared within a few days. Since antibiotics are things that can be extracted from microorganisms like fungi or bacteria, as long as this worlds culture technique are prepared, any country would be able to handle it.
But, the preparation ti this ti is only several days. They could only rely on Falmas substance creation ability.
H-How are we going to fight
Bruno couldnt think of how at all. This worlds scholars does not even know what the black plague uses as an interdiary to spread.
The specific dicine, has already been prepared.
Falma prepared synthetic antimicrobials.
The one he chose was Sparfloxacin (SPFX).
It is a drug that prevents the bacterial growth, by preventing the synthesis of Pestis DNA.
It wasnt an injection, and could be taken orally, so that made it convenient. The risk of using an injection is high, so Falma did not want to use it before the technical foundation is in place. Taking this drug once a day is enough. There would also be cases where side-effects would occur, but that would be photosensitivity, and as long as they would not be exposed to sunlight, and as long as the pharmacist controls the dication, it is not sothing very serious. With this, he would be able to leave the dicine guidance to the pharmacists of the dispensing pharmacy guild who are studying everyday.
Falma created this sparfloxacin using substance creation beforehand.
Because its structure is complicated, it made him use a lot of concentration, and while getting exhausted, even so, he still prepared the amount that 1000 patients would completely heal.
Imdiately, he conducted a prescription workshop for the new drug, and instructed the pharmacists on how to look at the patients and how to prescribe. Although he could not do it with all of the pharmacists. The pharmacists that had just joined the guild, and has immature knowledge and skill were forbidden to handle it.
In case that the plague would appear, he strictly ordered to offer the new drug sparfloxacin for free. For strong infectious diseases like the pest, it is important to not mind the value of the dicine and use it without hesitation.
Right now, he is currently leaving it to them the division and distribution of the dicine to the related pharmacies. Even if the pest does not occur and it was not needed for this ti, it is a drug that can be used for other epidemics, so the drug would not be wasted.
The pharmacists of the dispensing pharmacy guild were filled with trepidation, hearing that the black plague that was once a nightmare would reoccur.
We have prepared the cure, in the pharmacy stores in the imperial capital. Not letting anyone be infected, that is our first fight
Falma and Bruno summarized the preventive asures and advised it to the Empress.
. Restrict the San Flueve imperial capitals castle gates, and limit the rchant caravans entering the imperial capital through land to several places.
. Establish a quarantine station equipped with a microscope microorganism inspection testing departnt in the castle gate.
. Thorough enforcent of cleanliness by distributing water that is created by water divine arts users to the citizen of the imperial capital, and let them use that for washing hands and showering.
. Exterminate rats and fleas in each household, and stores.
It was probably because Falma and the Empress have trust relationship from every day. The Empress promptly issued a decree, just like Lets do it, lets do it now. The hygienic environnt of the imperial capital that was gradually being improved, due to public health lecture of the different world pharmacy where Ellen was the instructor, that made citizens enlightened, it was improved further at the last minute. The extermination of rats was done even cleaning out the underground waterway. The kids and cats were catching rats very vigorously.
The quarantine station, it was done by rotation of pharmacists of the dispensing pharmacy guild that has been taking classes everyday. They are temporarily hired by the empire, and using the simple inspection kit and microscope that Falma prepared, they were trained on how to discover Pestis. There are already 19 stores participating to the dispensing pharmacy guild. They would inspect the cargo that peddlers have, and would continue to prevent the invasion of pathogen in the imperial capital. The guild master Pierre leads and supervised them, helping the inspection.
The temple who had heard the situation from Falma; Head Priest Solomon of the diocese in the imperial capital gathered wind divine arts user who is excellent in purification techniques from Guardian Temples in various places, and thoroughly purified the imperial capital.
And Falma and Ellen, they were in an intensive watch in Marseille region.
Only the port of Marseille would have vessels from the country of Nedale entering, but many ships with cargo that ca from all over the world would gather to make it in ti to San Flueve Market.
In that port of Marseille, the discontent of the ship owner and crews were exploding.
It is because Falma kept all vessels that were about to enter the port of Marseille stop on the sea, and quarantined them without letting them approach the pier.
It is the sea quarantine that is common sense in Earth.
Falma rides in a boat to the large sailing ship that cos from various countries and places anchored at sea. He examined all of the crews if they were infected by thepest using his diagnostic eye, and Ellen and a first class apothecary who are wearing clothes with an antibacterial agent, and his fathers subordinate that is a fla techniques user wearing a protective clothing carried out microorganism tests on the cargo.
And, with the ships registered as the country of Nedales, it was detected that about 2% of the ships were infected by Pestis. There were even infected crew, and people who had died. Falma imdiately sent a carrier pigeon to the imperial capital, and inford Bruno this ssage. Strengthen the quarantine.
When the Pestis was found, the fla techniques user incinerated it, and Falma annihilated the Pestis relying on the dicine Gods Staffs divine powers.
The carriers were isolated, and were given anantibacterial drug.
I cannot believe this, to think that the black plague would really resurrect
Ellen couldnt help herself shudder that if they did not have Falmas antibacterial drug, the port of Marseille would have beco a port of death a long ti ago. And that, they were able to stop it in the waters like barely crossing a tightrope.
However, despite their struggles, the sailors was not even able to understand was the quarantine was for. The ships that have anchored for even two days, and the ones who were impatient to unload were showering jeers and complaints to Falma and the rest.
Hurry up and let us unload. There wasnt a quarantine until last year right, the Lord of Marseille is crazy this year
I need to unload by today. I had arranged a carriage
Let us go first, its fruits, our cargo will rot
Why the heck is a kid with the apothecaries who quarantine, what he heck is going on in the San Flueve Empire
Wait for your damn turn!
Falma and the rest had quarantined with almost no rest, but it would be the best if they were able to quarantine 20 ships, and even so, the vessels aiming for the San Flueve Market cos one next to the other. The ships that want to enter the port of Marseille had gone up, and the discontent of the sailors, had now beco sothing uncontrollable.
How noisy you areshould I make you shut up for a bit
Ellen readied her staff, and when she was about to show the selfish and stubborn ships the water divine arts they needed, cannon shells bombarded the sea, raising a large water column. Ellen has yet to shoot her divine art.
He?
Ellen fixed her glasses. Falma also covered his eyes to the loud sound.
Stop fussing around! If you want to enter the empires port, follow the empires rules!
A loud threat. Looks gathered to the direction of the bombardnt. And then, four beautiful large sailing ships, with a flag with the emblem of the Empire and the letters S.I.O in their flagship, appeared with an air of composure. There was a sniper with his muzzle aiming from the mast, and the porthole is open.
From the bow of the flagship where tens of portholes were loaded, the San Flueve Empire Chartered East Idun Company (S.I.O) Combined Fleet Admiral, Jean-Allan Gabin was looking down with crossed arms.
A regular custor at the different world pharmacy, a lover of the sailors candy, old man Jean.
He is the Admiral of the East Idun Company that would even make crying kids shut up. When he heard that the child store owner of the different world pharmacy Falma, was doing his best against the sea roughnecks for the sea quarantine of San Flueves port, he brought a battleship.
Listen you bastards, clean your dirty darn ears and listen!
Old man Jeans voice echoed very well on the top of the sea. Falma who was looking at him from a boat, looked at old man Jean who was wearing admiral clothes differently. Its because the regular custor who he knew, usually wearing one tattered shirt and who was kind and friendly, had changed into a devilish admiral.
The ones who want their loads thrown to the sea, na yourselves damn it!! Fire!!
The portholes blew fire again, and water columns raised.
Its just exactly, to the ship carrying tea that Falma was about to quarantine. If this continues, it would be like the Boston Tea Party, or you could say Marseille Tea Party.
There were no longer ships who shows rebellious attitude to the large battleships admiral.
Just like that, with the imperial fleet glaring at them, the small and dium-sized ships from various countries taly received the quarantine.
Jean-san, no, Admiral Jean. Thank you for helping
In a tily mont to take a break, Falma got on Admiral Jeans ship, and said his thanks.
Well, dont worry, its nothing at all. Rather than that, how long will the pharmacy be closed. I am, oh Im a little lonely
It looks like Admiral Jean wants to buy the sailors candy not on the cooperating stores, but on the different world pharmacy.
Thanks to your places candy, the sailors that scurvy had decreased. Next ti, Im thinking of buying candies on bulk, for the crew of the ship that is going in a long voyage
Admiral Jean who said that with a great smile, doesnt seem like he was just buying candies as a hobby. He gives them to so sailors who would go on a long voyage, and tests their preventive effect.
I will be waiting for your order
Can you please make that after the San Flueve Market ends, Falma added.
When the sea quarantine of the ships that are entering the port of Marseille had passed its peak,
Falma-sama, I have reports that there are nurous villagers of the Estherk Village that have a high fever
There was a report that ca to Marseilles Lord deputy Adam in the lords manor.
Taking notice that entering from the port of Marseille would be slow, Nedale ships entered, and unloaded their cargo on ports of small fishing villages.
At first, every villager thought that it was only a regular high fever, but deaths started to occur, and the epidemic started at once. It has been two days since the first death, and the village chief ca to report to Adam.
Were they pricked by the flea of the rats that hid within the cargo. The infection route, was now impossible to trace.
We knew it, but we couldnt prevent it, huh
Falma felt very frustrated. Even Ellen who had supported him with all that she had, couldnt find words to sat to Falma who was exhausted.
Ill go imdiately
Youre going? To a village infected by black plague?! You might also die after being infected you know?!
Ellen, she raised a surprised voice to Falma who was going to enter the village with no hesitation. Falma answered silently.
I will. I probably wont get infected, andeven if I did, I could cure myself
I will also go, I only need to use the dicine just as Falma-kun said right?
In this great calamity, as an apothecary, I do not want to turn my back and run away. , Ellen thought of that. The only one who could tell the black plague, is only Falma. That is why, it should be him who is going to need to quarantine.
Ellen should continue the quarantine here, please protect the entrance of the sea. It would take ti, but I will find it if I would inspect step by step. Im counting on you
After Falma had left those words, he placed his divine powers on the dicine Gods Staff and flew to the sky.
Falma-kun! Dont!
Ellens voice calling out to him, echoed through the blue skies of Marseille.
And thus, the plague has landed on the continent.
The first epidemic, was on a fishing village in the Marseille region with a population of 524 people.
Apothecary Falma de Mdicis went to the Esthark Village.
