“Of course, your Majesty, excellent advice.

Now the King actually looks worried.

“We knew that this plague was bad,” he says, “but we had no idea it was this deadly. |||||||||||||||||lethal or fatal

We've heard of a few cases around the city, but nothing like what you describe.

If what you say is true, and if it were to spread to the cities, we would be drowning ||||||und||||||||||||ertrinken ||||||||||||||||||overwhelmed by water ||||||||||||||||||afundando |||||||||||propagarse|||||||ahogándonos

The King is quiet for a few moments, as he ponders all that you've told him. ||||||||||thinks deeply about||||| ||||||||||考える|||||

Finally, he looks at you and says:

“It's settled, then. es ist|| |Está decidido.| "Значит, все решено.

You can't believe it.

The King has already dismissed you and moved on to the next petitioner, so you carefully ||||||||||||individual||| der||||||||||||Bittsteller||| ||||||||||||žiadateľ||| ||||||||||||مُقدّم الطلب||| ||||||||||||請願者||| ||||despedido||||||||siguiente solicitante|||

leave the chamber - being careful never to turn your back on His Royal Majesty - and

begin the long journey home.

You have a lot to think about.

By the time you arrive back at your church, you are full of plans and ideas.

The first order of business is to use your new power and influence to secure some extra |||||||||||und|||||

land.

Using the King's resources, you purchase several acres of land adjoining your graveyard ||||||||||susediace|| ||||du|||Hektar||||| ||King's|||||units of land|||next to|| |||||||أفدنة|||المجاورة|| ||||||||||adyacente a||

from a local Lord, and quickly consecrate it, since being buried outside of an official ||||||weihen||da|||||| ||||||make sacred|||||||| ||||||聖別する|||||||| ||||||consagrar rápidamente|||||||| ||||||consagrá-la|||||||| de um Senhor local, e consagrá-la rapidamente, uma vez que o facto de ser enterrada fora de um local oficial

church graveyard was considered a terrible fate for your eternal soul. |||||schreckliches||||| ||||||مصير|||أبدي| ||||||destino terrible|||| |||||||||everlasting| O cemitério da igreja era considerado um destino terrível para a sua alma eterna.

Next, you turn your attention to the burial practices themselves. |||||||interment|| |||||||埋葬|| |||||||prácticas funerarias||

Before the plague broke out, people were used to being around death and bodies. ||||||waren||||||| Prior to|||emerged|||||||||| ||||||過去形|||||||

People died at home, their bodies were laid out in the Church for days of prayer and vigils, |||||||||||||||||Wachsamkeiten |||||||||||||||صلاة||يقظات |||||||||||||||||watchful prayers

and the church's graveyard did double-duty as a public gathering space. ||||vermochte||||||| ||الكنيسة||||||||| ||||||served dual purpose||||| ||||||||||espacio de reunión|

The bond between the living and the dead was strong, and the dead were kept close at hand. die||||||||||und||||||| |connection|||||||||||||||| |El vínculo||||||||||||||||

But with the fear of the plague spreading as fast as the disease itself, people are |||||||spreading|||||||| |||miedo||||||||||||

starting to fear the dead, believing their bodies might spread the disease.

One of the most radical measures you implement is a ban on some traditional funeral practices. ||||radikal||||||Verbot||||| |||||||put into action|||||||ceremonial rites| ||||根本的な|||実施する|||禁止||||| |||||medidas||||||||||

Families will no longer be able to have their loved one's body displayed in the Church, ||||||||||||viewed||| ||||||||||||عرضه||| ||||||||||||expuesto|||

and family members won't be allowed to attend the burial, which will take place more quickly. ||||||||||die|||||

Another huge change will be the shift from individual burials to mass graves. |||wird||||||||| ||||||||||||قبور ||||||cambio|||||| ||||||||||||burial sites

Instead of individual graves, which take up more time and space, large pits are dug, and ||||||||||||Gruben||gegraben| |||tomb sites|||||||||mass graves||excavated| ||||||||||||fosas grandes||excavados|

the bodies are wrapped in shrouds and carefully arranged in rows until the pit is full. |||enveloped||burial cloths||||||||grave or burial site|| |||||lençóis mortuários|||||||||| ||sind|||||||in|||||| |||||plachtách|||||||||| |||||||||||||القبر|| |||||||||||||穴|| |||||mortajas|||dispuestas cuidadosamente|||||fosa|| os corpos são embrulhados em mortalhas e cuidadosamente dispostos em filas até o fosso ficar cheio. Тела заворачивают в саваны и аккуратно укладывают в ряд, пока яма не заполнится.

You take care to ensure each and every departed soul receives appropriate funeral rites, even ||||||||||erhält|||| ||||||||الراحل|||||الطقوس| ||||||||||receives appropriate|||funeral ceremonies| |||||||||||||儀式| ||||||||alma fallecida||||||

if it's a shared, stripped down, more practical version. wenn|||||||| ||||simplified|||| ||||reduzida|||| |||compartida|reducida|||| если это общая, урезанная, более практичная версия.

Finally, in a stroke of self-professed brilliance, you sprinkle the earth near the pits with ||||||vyhlásenej|geniálnosti|||||||| |||||||عبقرية||ترش|||||| |in|||||||||||||| ||||||claimed by oneself|intellectual insight||scatter lightly|||||| |||golpe de ingenio||||||espolvoreas con tierra|||||| Наконец, в порыве самозабвенной гениальности, вы посыпаете землю возле ям

vinegar, since you believe it helps to stop the spread of the plague. Essig|da||||||||||| الخل|||||||||||| vinegar||||||||||||

A few weeks later, although the plague continues to rage, the body situation in your parish |||||||||rages||||||

is much more under control.

You're feeling pretty good about yourself and the progress you've made, when a messenger |||||||||||||Bote |||||||||||||رسول

arrives with an urgent summons from the King. |||dringenden|||| comes in||||message or order||| ||||استدعاء||| ||||intimação urgente||| ||||citación urgente|||

He wants to see you in London immediately.

This can't be good...
