Chapter 51: The Capital

Treating epidemics is definitely a dangerous task. It is naturally impossible to carry out in the city, or even at the upper vents or upstream of the river.

The so-called parasitic epidemic is just a simple speculation based on the disease. If you only treat them blindly, treat them to death and cause your own people to be infected on a large scale, it will be said that it will be more than worth the cost.

The temporary camp for treating the disease is located in a nameless small valley twenty kilometers away from Bastille. It is a Jedi model. It is surrounded by mountains and only a small valley crack that cannot be smaller can enter and exit. In the center, there is a miniature lake covering an area of ​​more than ten acres of land, which is clear and clear.

There are no fat wild fish in this small lake, but steaming hot, and you can smell a scent of sulfur from afar. This is a hot spring.

This nameless valley should have been a crater before, but the surrounding mountains have risen, turning it into an inconspicuous small valley. Due to the abundant geothermal heat, the ground is covered with leaves outside the valley, and it is still green and warm as spring.

The reason why the valley is added with small characters is that compared to the majestic peak in the world, Sansett, next to it, if it were all cultivated, there would be thousands of acres. If it were not for the evil neighbor of Bastille, it would have become a paradise for Andes people, and it would be no problem to support hundreds of people.

Accompanied by Charles, when Ajer and his party arrived here, it was already the third day after the agreement was reached.

A small camp covering several acres of land has been established next to the micro lake. The daily necessities inside are ready, and even the hot water is burning in a large pot, but there are not half of them.

Charles will be the only healthy person to accompany them for some time to come.

According to the previous agreement, if Charles is unfortunately infected, Sean and the others will not send anyone in. If all the treatments have been tried and there is still no way to cure them, Sean and the others will completely close the valley entrance and become the tomb of their group of thirteen.

"If you can be buried here, it won't be aggrieved."

Ajel looked at the small valley that might have become his tomb, nodded with satisfaction, and turned to Charles beside him.

"Actually, there is no need for you to follow us. We have already known the treatment method. We can completely autonomy. No matter how good the preventive measures are taken, you may be infected and lose your life after a long time of contact."

During these three days, they were not idle. They not only found this excellent camp, but also carried out corresponding preparations.

The clothes were burned on the spot, and the armor was thrown into high-concentration lime water. Now it has not been fished out. Everyone's head is naked and red all over, and has been instilled with a lot of knowledge about epidemics.

There is no really stupid person who can become a knight, especially when it is related to his own life. He has a very fast learning ability and has a general idea of ​​epidemics.

In the past three days, except for eating and sleeping, they basically did not leave the lime pool. They were so frustrated by the epidemic that they were dying of ecstasy. They heard that quicklime water has the function of deworming and epidemic prevention, so they jumped in and refused to come out.

I don’t know whether the psychological effect is indeed helpful to their epidemic, and the physical symptoms seem to have been relieved a little, which makes them look forward to the next treatment.

Although before that, Charles had given them a vaccination and told them that the treatment would be some poisons that had certain side effects on the body, it did not arouse much opposition.

During this period, Sean also met them several times, mainly the relationship between doctors and patients, and the communication was more about disease issues. Ajel's promise to meet Sean alone was fulfilled.

Of course, it is impossible to actually meet alone. The skull-breaker, armed to the teeth, stood beside Sean like a statue throughout the whole process.

When they really met, Ajel didn't know what to say. The questions he had in his previous heart had long been solved by the humble Charles who followed them in an endless manner during this period of time.

The other party may have the idea of ​​using them as test subjects to study the disease in them, but it only benefits them, but not harms.

After all, this may be their only hope. Both Ajel and the eleven regular knights have a wide range of knowledge. Judging from the other party's series of preparations and plans, they are all organized. In the other party's own words, this is called professionalism. In the past, even the best doctors they came into contact with were less than one percent of them.

This meeting was awkward. After only ten minutes, Ajel fled in panic. Obviously, he had not completely adjusted his mentality yet.

Who would have thought that after half a month of change, the identity between the two had such a huge change.

He is no longer the powerful, arrogant and arrogant knight. At that time, as long as he thinks, he can take his life even in adversity. Now he is just a humble patient with disease, and life and death are in the hands of the other party.

After in-depth consultation and multi-faceted investigation and research, Sean's original speculation was further confirmed.

The other party's epidemic is parasitic at 80%, because Sean has seen this symptom, but it is not in humans, but in the four-cornered high-backed mountain cow, which is caused by a parasite called schistosomiasis.

Most mountain cows carry this parasite, which is not fatal in large mountain cows. At most, when they are infected, they will be swung for a few days before they form a symbiotic pattern.

For the sake of their own survival, most parasites will not cause fatal harm to the host, and even if they exist, they are chronic.

However, once this parasite reaches the human body, it will be more deadly. The physiques of humans and four-cornered high-backed mountain cows are more than ten times different.

Bloodsucking worms release paralyzing hormones according to the standards in the body of the Sijiao Gaolong Mountain cattle, which is naturally fatal to the human body, and it is inevitable to kill the host in large quantities.

Mountain people eat Sijiao Gaobei Mountain beef and cook it in a big pot. Many of them simply follow the ancestral teachings left by their ancestors. They only know that eating this way is beneficial. Ninety-nine percent of the mountain people themselves cannot tell the specific reason.

Ajer and his group of outsiders naturally did not know the taboos. They regarded the four-cornered high-back mountain cattle as domesticated beef cattle and enjoyed the bloody three-mature and four-mature steaks. The result can be imagined.

The strong physical fitness of the knight and the big knight was not ineffective. After most of the schistosomia eggs entered their stomachs and intestines, they were decomposed and absorbed by their powerful digestive ability before they had time to egg.

But they can't resist their big appetite. They eat too much beef and always have lucky people with strong vitality.

In the end, they still couldn't escape the disaster. Their strong physique was still in effect. They withstood the group that released a large number of toxins when the ovulation of schistosomes became eggs, and formed a symbiosis with the blood-sucking insects like mountain cows.

There will be no life danger for a while, but life span will naturally be greatly affected. Once physical fitness begins to decline, the schistosomiasis in their bodies will become fatal.

The remaining 20% ​​possibility is a bit too many. It is very likely that Sean's speculation is completely wrong. It is also possible that these schistosomiae will produce different changes according to the changes in the host's body after entering the human body. They are all unknown before the results come out.

However, based on the current medical conditions, let alone the probability of 80%, even if it is a probability of 10%, you can give it a try.

“This is a rare opportunity.”

Charles was still as serious as ever.

"If you record your entire treatment process, it will become our first-hand information for future research on epidemics in this area. Tang said that medical skills are a rigorous discipline, which is related to life. Treating any disease cannot be done by imagination alone, but a large amount of detailed information must be used as a basis."

"From the classics we have at hand at present, there are almost zero records on this aspect. We have the responsibility to make up for this. If it can promote the development of medical skills, it will be worth it even if it takes my life."

"What's more, experimental materials like you will be difficult to see again in the future. What's more, the medicine you want to take is poison after all. It is very important to master the dosage. This must be done by observing and recording it nearby. I am the only one who chooses."

After a long time of contact, Ajel and the others liked to communicate with Charles at the beginning because they felt that this person was honest and would tell them directly that from his mouth, they could understand the essence of things.

But over time, they found that this was a very painful thing. It is a good thing to tell the truth by a person, but when this truth takes away all disguises and throws it straightforwardly in front of them, it is often very hurtful.

Now I will tell you directly that they are not here for you, but to observe the reactions of you guinea pigs, and to devote themselves to medicine. Even if you feel uncomfortable, you still can’t find any problem.

Because people tell the truth from scratch, they can't tell the truth anymore.

...

Solo City.

Manyu Army led the capital.

The straight-line distance from Bastille is no more than 200 kilometers.

From the perspective of historical heritage, there is not much difference between the two. They were both established after the collapse of the Andes Empire, but one was just a border fortress and the other was a military leader.

One has only been in the explosion and construction for just thirty years, and the other has been continuously nourished and constructed with the resources of the entire Manyu military leader for three hundred years.

Whether in terms of scale or prosperity, the two are completely incomparable. The entire Bastille is not half as grand as the Feren family castle located halfway up the mountain.

Not to mention the huge affiliated cities, layer by layer, surrounding the not-so-small hill where Feren Castle is located, turning it into a veritable city mountain. The permanent population here is as high as 200,000, and it is also ranked among the top ten in the entire Asan continent.

Soro City is also known as the Holy Land of Gladiator and the City of Slaves. It has the largest arena and the most prosperous slave market in the continent of Assan.

The Holy See's "Anti-Slave Call" thirty years ago, and the "Slave Order" issued by the Lancelot royal family ten years ago, here, and even the entire Manyu military leader had a very little influence, and it was still in a semi-feudal and semi-serf society.
