In the village of semihumans Marco coordinates the relief efforts that the emperor has sent to prevent a famine from leading to a tragedy of extinction of the town.


The medicine that Flavio has developed takes into account the limitations of the time, therefore in the matter of medicine he used herbs to treat different diseases, another very important thing he did was to "discover" the bacteria and how they can harm the human body or benefit it depending on what kind of bacteria it refers to.


In the case of Semihumans suffering from severe malnutrition, doctors thanked Marco for giving them food but also explained that when a child or adult suffers from malnutrition, it is necessary to avoid giving many proteins because the body can only process some of them if it is granted more can cause damage to the liver, it is preferable to be given food with enough carbohydrates to prevent the body begins to eat also for energy.


When a person does not eat the body will look for energy for this will occupy the fat that is in the body as a source of carbohydrates this when it removes the fat but leaves in the body a waste harmful to the body, when the fat is finished the body proceeds to decompose proteins (muscle), the body will try to fight until the individual dies of starvation.


Despite the fact that medicine is late Flavio created a book with which he educated the 5 generations of doctors in Rome and in the future in Nova Roma "Magnus Medicinae Cognitionis" (Great Knowledge of Medicine).


In it you learn how to treat discomforts of the body such as flu, cough, fever, malnutrition, dehydration, among many others.


Flavio does not take anything for granted despite having the knowledge is not the same as it is the stomach pain in Rome that in China, medicine changes depending on the climate and plants that one has that is why it allows doctors to go enlarging the "Magnus Medicinae Cognitionis", always remembering to put health before self-recognition because if there is no respect for health the way to cure can harm people instead of helping them.


The residents were completely taken care of and a small census was carried out. The result was that there were more than 895 Semihuman, more than half had some sign of malnutrition and 300 had advanced malnutrition, these data were sent together with the population that could walk towards Origin. Civitatem, as for the others, they will remain in the place until it is safe for them to be able to move to the city.


Meanwhile, Marco began to create a spearhead fortress in this town, as leader of the expedition he has the right to name this fort, therefore he chose the name "Forti Beatus" (Blessed Fort).


In origin civitatem Flavio was waiting for the first surviving Semihumans, beside him was his wife Hellena, Lilith and their children.


The waiting time was a few minutes, in the southern part of the city you could see a group of legionaries guarding a caravan of people these were quite different even than the elves and the dwarfs because they had ears and tails of different animals


They were also small beings similar to the dwarves but they had brown skin and ears like fish gills, this is something truly amazing to see for the citizens who organized themselves to receive this new elite of the city.


People who came from Rome with Flavio were fully indoctrinated and received "special" education for years, to accept whatever the Emperor did.


This explains why the elves, dwarves and nahuales have a very great value for the Roman Nova population and it is forbidden to discriminate them since they are strategic letters of the empire, now these two new races will be united in the ranks of the empire.


Itzael and his people when they arrived at the gates of the city could see a large number of people receiving them with flowers and colored paper (A tradition that emerged from the reception of the Emperor Augustus, when he arrived with the reinforcements of Rome to Emerita Augusta after the siege by Corocotta)


While the chaneques that were a little behind in the caravan also felt the warmth of this reception, they had never been received in such a pleasant way anywhere else.


This caused that the Semihumans and the Chaneques, will cry of happiness never had been treated like something that could come to the surface without receiving some species of mistreatment or discrimination on the part of the humans.


They all passed through the Decumanus Maximus Avenue, which led to the imperial palace which began to take shape and excel in the city.


The leader of the tribe of the Chaneques and Itzael met in the imperial palace to talk with Flavio about their annexation in the empire and the obligations and rights they will have.


The meeting with Flavio was held in a large room with a table and chairs on the sides, in the place was the Elf Representative Idril, the representative of the dwarves, the representative of the Yalot Yalotl, and with them the representative of the Chaneques and the representative of the Itzael Semihumans.


Flavio invited all of them to sit down and said "I am glad that everyone could be present, today we have gathered here to welcome 3 new races to the imperial family to Los Nahuales, Chaneques and Semihumans"


In the hall entered Hellena who had in his hand he "Tutela specialis tractatus " (Treaty of special protection), After leaving it on the table in front of Flavio, did not waste time to give a big kiss to Flavio in front of the representatives for later leave as if nothing had happened.


Those present watched with curiosity Flavio


"Cof, Cof, I'm sorry for that, but my wife is very loving and sometimes she does not control her displays of affection, but I still love her.


Now let me introduce the Tutela specialis tractatus, this treaty was signed by the elves and the dwarves years before, it guarantees its protection with a blood contract, as you know I am a god therefore the treaty has weight because I represent the population of the empire, including elves and dwarves.


If you sign the treaty Nahuales, Chaneques and Semihumans will be under the protection of the empire on a divine and mortal level, your children will not suffer any kind of damage and will have the same rights as the humans who say they want to sign it "


Yolotl did not doubt it much and approached Flavio and asked him how to sign the treaty, Flavio explained that he only needs to place a trace with his blood.


I do not wait any longer he bit his finger and put it on the treaty is bright and a light came out of the paper that illuminated Yolotl and his entire tribe, when they saw this Itzael and the leader Chaneque came to sign the treaty.


With this their tribes are protected and have obligations towards Nova Roma, a new era has just begun ...
