Chapter 2708 A hundred years of loneliness (5)

Arthur just came up with such a terrifying request, and it stands to reason that anyone would be taken aback.

However, the big businessman Jacques Cole is someone who has seen huge storms. His face didn't change at all, and he replied calmly and smilingly, "Hahaha, I asked this as soon as I came up. Are you asking too much, Mr. Aslan."

The squinting middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes to look at Arthur, his eyes were extremely sharp: "Or should I call you Lord Sir Edward, Lord of Dover, a close friend of His Majesty King Henry VI?"

Arthur frowned: "Looks like Mr. Cole is well informed."

"It's not that I'm well-informed, it's that Mr. Aslan's reputation is too great." Cole said with a smile: "It's windy here, come inside. Talk in detail in my private room, always Better than having ears on the outer partition."

This guy is really cautious. Even if the entire house belonged to him, even if there were his guards ten yards outside the door, even if the conversation between him and Arthur had been kept to a minimum, he still felt unsafe.

"Alright." The king of knights replied, and followed everyone into the house.

"If you're free, go take a shower, the smell on your body can't even cover up the deodorant." Cole said with a little disgust.

"Yes, is it?" Elaine blushed. He had already changed his clothes, and he had used a specific powder to remove the odor from his body.

"See you later," Arthur said.

Businessman Cole clearly doesn't want to divulge his conversations with Arthur to a third party, not even his adopted son "Joffrey". He was probably afraid that Elaine was too stupid to talk nonsense outside and leak the rumors.

In Cole's extravagantly furnished bedroom, he poured a glass of fine wine and handed it to Arthur, and said in a businessman's tone: "Then, Mr. Aslan, in business, let's talk about it first. What is the reward for this transaction?"

"In my territory, Dover, all the trading privileges of commodities belong to you." Arthur came up and dropped a piece of fat and fresh meat that the other party would never let go of: "Dover is rich in sea salt, and the quality is The largest in Europe. You should know how much commercial benefits this batch of sea salt will bring to you in the whole of Europe."

"Indeed. But the Port of Dover..."

"It's still under the Admiralty of Great Yarmouth, that's right." King Arthur added, "but it won't be long before it's in my possession. I'm married to the daughter of the Admiral of Great Yarmouth."

"Well, it is indeed." Cole nodded again and again: "Your conditions are impeccable, and I am also convinced that you are capable of making these conditions. The bargaining chip of this transaction is confirmed. However. ....."

He took a sip of red wine and looked at Arthur with those sharp eyes again: "Can I be sure? Why do you want to see His Majesty Charles VII? Could it be... an assassination attempt? Is he?"

After all, the war between Britain and France has just ended, and the French guys like Cole will definitely be wary of the British guys like Arthur.

"Phew." Arthur sneered: "Your Excellency's expression is quite interesting. So do you want me to assassinate His Majesty Charles VII, or do you not want me to assassinate His Majesty Charles VII? Which one can bring you more income?"

"The fact that His Majesty Charles VII is alive will bring me greater benefits." Cole replied honestly: "It is difficult to find someone in power who is more...controllable than him. If His Majesty dies, France will again enter a period of turmoil, and it will always be businessmen like us who will suffer. Even you, England, will suffer huge losses, won't you."

"Of course." Arthur blinked and saw that the other party had drank the wine, he also took a bold sip, "Then I promise Your Excellency. His Majesty Charles VII will not suffer any harm, not even a cold hair. It won't hurt. I just want to meet him once."

"For what?"

"Joan of Arc." The knight replied briefly, "She's still in your French hands, isn't she?"

"Well...I don't know." Even though Arthur was so tempted, the other party was at a loss: "Only the king and the few people around him know the whereabouts of the saint. This matter is in the whole of France. It's a big secret."

Sure enough.

"Joan of Arc has been kind to me, and I would even like to help unconditionally if I could. But I'm just a businessman without power, and I can't fight against the king's power." Cole added: "I can Using some extreme means to get you to meet the king. However...what's your plan next? The king's mouth is much tighter than you think."

"I have my own way, don't worry." Arthur said.

"Okay then." The other party seemed to be determined, and drank all the red wine in the glass in one breath: "I have another question. How did your Excellency know Joffrey? The child is obviously afraid of life. But it seems like an acquaintance you have known for a long time..."

"It is indeed an acquaintance." Arthur couldn't help laughing: "You may not believe it, but we have known him since he was a child."

The great businessman Jacques Cole tried to find the slightest hint of lying in Arthur's expression, but he couldn't find it anyway.

In the evening three days later, France, Paris, in front of the main entrance of the Royal Palace.

Dr. Joffrey (Elaine) stepped out of the carriage, dressed in white, holding a doctor's bronze snake staff and carrying a small box.

The assistant behind him was dressed in black, tightly wrapped and carrying another large suitcase. The assistant is dressed so tightly, naturally, to avoid contact with the patient. The Black Death is a terrible infectious disease, and probably only Elaine dares to touch patients without wearing protective clothing.

"We are, here to see the queen," said Elaine, walking up to the guards.

"Ah, Dr. Joffrey." The guards briefly checked the contents of the two boxes, and then searched the two of them to confirm that they were not carrying weapons: "Very well, you can go in. "

It went well. Arthur, who was disguised as Elaine's assistant, even thought that everything was going so smoothly, it was unbelievable. However, the guards seemed to know Elaine, who had come to see the queen many times. Elaine went to the palace to see a doctor without wearing protective clothing, which was naturally something that soldiers were not used to seeing. But did Elaine's assistants always enter the palace with their faces covered like this, but they were never interrogated?

Thanks to Arthur's special preparation for illusion, I wanted the soldiers to think that when they saw Arthur's face, it was an ordinary passerby's face. But the soldiers didn't even look at it, wasting this illusion.

Elaine looks a little uncomfortable. The discomfort wasn't because he was scared or nervous, he looked weird anyway.

"Are you all right, Doctor?" Arthur asked.

"No, it's all right..." Elaine groaned: "It's all right. It's all...for the queen..."

When he said the queen, of course, he did not mean the queen of France, but the queen of Greenville. Elaine seems to be very determined to help bring Queen Greenville back to the original world 900 years ago, although Arthur doesn't understand what Elaine's inexplicable "determined" appearance is for.

The two walked through the side courtyard of the palace, all the way unobstructed, and three maids in protective clothing were already waiting in the front courtyard.

"What's the status of the queen?" Elaine asked as soon as she approached.

"The queen's condition has gradually stabilized, and there is no more coughing up blood." One of the maids replied.

"Very well, if there is no accident, this, this is the last treatment." Elaine said, walking into the house deep in the courtyard.

Arthur also followed in. Before entering, he turned his head to confirm the movements of the group of maids, but they had no plans to follow.

In the depths of the room, the Queen of France, Marie I of Anjou, lay peacefully on the bed and fell asleep.

Elaine made a lot of noise when she entered the house, but she did not disturb the queen at all. The queen is indeed beautiful, but unfortunately she was pale and extremely thin when she was ill, and her original beauty was greatly reduced.

"Are you having a fever?" Arthur hummed when he saw the wet towel on the queen's forehead.

"It proves that the epidemic and the vaccine are working, and the antibodies in her body are fighting fiercely against the disease and germs." Elaine rarely said some words that fit her status as a doctor. Arthur almost couldn't help laughing when he heard that the usually stupid and naive fat white man actually said such a thing in a serious manner.

"This, this is the last vaccine." Elaine took a tube of dark red liquid from the suitcase. The liquid was naturally the product of his blood mixed with the Queen's blood, and then subjected to high temperature inactivation. This is the universal vaccine for the treatment of the Black Death, the life-saving medicine that many princes and nobles dream of. However, because of its particularity, it is doomed that it will always be in short supply, and only people in the upper class can afford it.

Arthur is not incomprehensible to Elaine's thoughts while studying the remains of the Black Death. If there was a way to mass-produce a vaccine, the threat of the Black Death would completely disappear from the world. At that time, not only princes and nobles, but even the poorest people at the bottom of the society could be saved, and the result was naturally the best. But the real cure for the Black Death is not something that can be easily found by looking for it. Arthur feels that Elaine has been doing nothing over the years.

Anyway, Elaine took out a syringe and started injecting the vaccine.

A glass syringe so delicately made should not be a product of this era. Although glass craftsmanship has been around since the twelfth century, the precision of glass craftsmanship is far from sufficient to make syringes of this magnitude. This is obviously what Merlin did for Elaine, and there is no way to know what method was used.

Fatty Bai carefully injected the vaccine into the blood vessels of the queen's arm. After the injection, he also used highly distilled alcohol to sterilize the queen's wound. The doctor's work actually did a good job.

"Phew." After finishing, he breathed a sigh of relief: "This, that's all. After that, as long as you continue to take it and take the herbs that enhance your immunity, the queen will be cured within a month."

"It seems that two vaccines were used in total?" Arthur knew that Elaine was coming to receive the vaccine this time to strengthen the effect of the vaccine. So Elaine must have given the Queen another vaccine before.

"Three branches." Elaine said, "The queen's illness was the most serious at first, and they refused to let the doctor enter the palace for treatment. It was delayed for a long time. When she was summoned to enter the palace six months ago, the king and queen sent I can't hold it anymore~IndoMTL.com~ Then you should be lucky and save the queen in time. Otherwise, your head would have moved half a year ago." Arthur said.

"No, it won't. It's not that, so barbaric era." Elaine groaned.

"Huh." Arthur smiled softly. The timing of the queen's infection with the plague was so clever. Could it be that some people with ulterior motives deliberately infected the queen with the Black Death six months ago?

Fatty Bai left a few bottles of prepared herbs aside and winked at Arthur. The two left the table at the same time, turned and walked out of the room.

"Invite doctors and assistants to bathe and change clothes in the side yard." said the closely wrapped maids.

"Okay." Elaine said, and at the same time ordered: "The queen's illness has almost recovered, and it will not be contagious in a month. So, just in case, you can observe it for another three months. , let the slave serve her. If the slave is not infected, the queen should be finished and fully recovered."

"Understood, Doctor." The maids replied, watching Elaine leave.
