Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2749: Shadow of Paradise (3)
Chapter 2749 Shadow of Paradise (3)
In the afternoon, Elaine finished the lunch the monks had brought.
The food didn't have any taste.
No. He can still eat the basic salty and sweet taste. But no fragrance. All food is like eating sand when you put it in your mouth.
I don't know if it's because of the sickness of this body, or because of the acclimatization in this different world 900 years later, Elaine has been unable to taste anything since ten years ago. That is to say, he has endured for ten years, eating this kind of food like sand every day.
He knew that he had traveled through nine hundred years ago, so he probably understood that he was not welcome in this world. Even the taste that should be in the food, the world has not rewarded him.
(Leo...)
The white fat man was chomping on the jam bread that was supposed to be very delicate, but he was thinking about the breakfast that the lion boy made him that morning.
The breakfast he didn't eat.
"No appetite? Concerned?" Goff ate with relish, as if he hadn't eaten such delicate food for a long time, but he couldn't help but worry about Elaine.
"No...it's all right," Elaine sighed, gulping the food casually into her stomach and taking a few sips of lemonade.
There is a sour taste, but there is no lemon fragrance. Elaine's nose is actually fine. She usually sniffs an uncut lemon and can smell the fragrance. But for some reason, when he realized that it was "food" or "drink", the aroma of the diet disappeared completely.
(Every day is a torment. Living is a torment. How long will this kind of life be endured...)
(It's almost too late, I can't stand it anymore.)
(Leo...)
After filling her stomach casually, Elaine stood up.
"Let's go, go meet the cardinal," he said.
"Now? Not waiting for the church's arrangement?"
"It's useless to wait here." Elaine clenched her fists: "Tell the guards that we are going to see a doctor, and we should be able to enter the tower."
"Okay." Goff didn't press on. He saw a look of impatience between Elaine's brows, but he didn't intend to go deeper: "No matter what you decide to do, I will find a way to protect you."
Elaine didn't answer, feeling very upset.
The two prepared all kinds of medical equipment and put on the protective clothing prepared by the church, and then walked towards the tower.
"I'm here to see the cardinal. Can I join the group?" Elaine said boldly to the doorman in front of the tower.
(Grit your teeth and do what you don't want to do and are not good at doing.)
"You should wait for the arrangement above." The doorman was a little unhappy.
(Even if this is done, there is no guarantee that it will help the entire program in the slightest.)
"Wait, waited for a long time," Elaine also deliberately showed an impatient expression: "I really want to wait for a while? Can the patient's condition be delayed?"
(But why. Just can't suppress, this irritability.)
"Yeah," the two guards showed a troubled expression, and they wanted to let Elaine go, but they were afraid that the people above would blame him for making a messy decision.
"Let them in." A church member in a red robe suddenly said, "It's okay, I'll take the responsibility."
"Since Lord Helvin said so---" The two guards breathed a sigh of relief and made way for Elaine.
"Helvyn... eldest, lord?" Elaine nodded slightly to the woman in the red robe, but she didn't know what the other party was from, and was a little confused.
"I'm Cardinal Helvin. Nice to meet Dr. Joffrey." The woman said, "I won't bother the doctor to see the doctor. See you next time."
"Okay, okay." Elaine never imagined that such a beautiful woman would actually be a cardinal. How on earth did she become a cardinal? Do people in the church think with their lower bodies?
Helvyn gave a slight salute and walked quickly, as if she had come to speak for Elaine. No, it should be specially here to help Elaine. Otherwise, there is no reason for her to suddenly appear in such a place.
Elaine didn't go into the details. In the past few days, Leo's figure has always appeared in his mind, and other than that, he is always absent-minded. He ventured inside the tower and walked up the long spiral staircase to the top of the tower.
This tower bears some resemblance to the one in which he was forced to have a tryst with King Charles VII of France, and brings back bad memories for Elaine. Fortunately, Goff was just behind Elaine. Just one more person behind him gave Elaine a lot of courage, and he managed to reach the top of the tower smoothly.
"Is it Dr. Joffrey?" There were already two other guards waiting there. They were wearing heavy protective clothing, and they were well protected except for their eyes, and they were very well protected against the Black Death.
"Yes, yes. Can I go in and see a doctor?" Elaine replied.
"Come in." The guards stepped aside, even pushing open the heavy iron door to the room at the top of the tower for Elaine.
The interior of the room is still closely guarded, with a muslin tent to isolate the cardinal's living area from the outside world. This anti-mosquito precaution was probably something the church came up with, since Elaine knew that mosquitoes didn't spread the Black Death (weirdly!), and the extra nets didn't really make sense.
Anyway, Elaine pushed aside the veil and walked inside the room. A dying old man was lying in bed with what appeared to be a low-grade fever. His face was bruised, it was the late stage of the Black Death.
"Can it be cured?" Goff asked, seeing the seriously ill cardinal.
"It is very, very time-consuming, but it can always be cured." Elaine said: "First draw blood for the cardinals and cardinals, and use that to make vaccines."
"Okay, I'll do it," Goff said, opening Elaine's medical supplies box. There were a lot of strange tools in there that he hadn't seen before, but he knew what the syringe was—the thing Elaine used to draw blood from before, and Goff saw it.
And Elaine prepared another blood in a glass bottle, his own blood, for the vaccine of course. It seems that this blood can be kept in a bottle for a long time without spoiling. Elaine has not investigated the reason, and can only speculate that it is because he has a trace of succubus blood in his body.
Goff's eyesight is really good. I've only seen Elaine draw blood once before, and he knows how to use a syringe and where to start drawing blood. He effortlessly found the vein in the cardinal's arm, drew enough blood, and walked up to Elaine: "Is this blood enough?"
"Enough, enough." Elaine took the syringe, mixed the blood inside with the blood in the glass bottle, and put the burning utensils on the side table.
"Boil the mixed blood with this...easy as that?" Goff asked, igniting the fire.
"Yes, yes." Elaine replied, he didn't understand the principle of inactivation, in short, that's how vaccines are made. Merlin had taught him that, and he just did it. He has used this vaccine to save countless patients from the Black Death since a long time ago, and has never failed.
"Wait until the mixed blood is boiled, inactivated, inactivated, and then cooled, and it is the vaccine." Elaine said, the glass bottle has been placed on a metal shelf, and an oil lamp is heated below. The amount of mixed blood in the glass bottle was not much, and bubbles soon appeared.
"...It's that simple?" Seeing all this, Goff couldn't help but be a little at a loss.
"...Just, it's that simple," Elaine replied. What else could it be?
"It was the same principle for me to drink your blood back then?" Goff wondered.
"You, you're lucky, it's useless and useless to do that." Elaine fiddled with the glass bottle a few times. The liquid in the bottle was boiling, and the inactivation process was almost completed.
"It turns out that the blood is the most important. If you have this blood, you can cure black disease. On the contrary, you can't do anything without this blood." Goff shrugged, "Actually, you don't need to practice medicine at all, just sell it If the blood is not good..."
"Ha, ha ha..." Elaine smiled wryly. The truth is this truth. But if the world were to know that Elaine's blood was the antidote to the Black Death, he would probably be squeezed by a bunch of lunatics desperate for life.
"The disease, the lesion is actually in the heart." Elaine added. The liquid in the bottle has been inactivated, and now it is only necessary to wait for it to cool, filter the magazine, and it is the vaccine.
"Heart?"
"The hearts of people infected with the Black Death will mutate. It seems to stab and stimulate the heart muscle, weakening the heart muscle, and eventually leading to people's heart, heart palsy, myocardial infarction." Elaine Turn off the oil lamp and carefully shake the liquid in the bottle. "The black death patient's face and complexion are darkened because of the poor blood circulation in the body."
"So by letting this vaccine flow through the bloodstream throughout the body, can the infected and mutated heart be able to restore its function? It's just like the magic water that cures the disease."
"But one, one time is not enough," Elaine said. "The cardinal is so ill that it may take several weeks of treatment to restore him."
"That means we're going to be in the Vatican for a long time," said Goff, rubbing his chin, even though he was wearing a mask, his face covered in bandages. He is not very clear about the original plan of Elaine and others, but it seems that the doctor Joffrey intends to stay in the Vatican to investigate the whereabouts of Joan of Arc. If the cardinals are cured too quickly, it will be detrimental to their actions. Now it's just a matter of nature.
"Okay, okay." Elaine finally let the vaccine cool down, and filtered out the impurities with fine gauze to make a "pure" vaccine. Originally, the vaccine produced by this simple and rude treatment is very primitive, and it is very dangerous to inject it into the human body casually. But in this era of extremely backward medical technology, this is already the best way to treat the Black Death.
Elaine carefully groped for a vein in the cardinal's arm and injected the vaccine. Just after the injection, the cardinal, who had a black face that seemed to be about to die, seemed to dissipate a little.
"It took effect very quickly." Goff couldn't help but spit out: "Shouldn't it at least wait for the vaccine to reach the heart with the blood before it takes effect?"
People in Goff's era naturally don't understand ~IndoMTL.com~ It's actually a stress response caused by foreign objects entering the human blood vessels, and it is a part of the human immune system. The stress response made the heart beat faster and breathing accelerated, but it relatively "neutralized" the impact of the Black Death, and the patient's complexion that was originally black (sub-hypoxic state) improved slightly.
"Haha..." Elaine didn't explain it (he didn't quite understand it himself), just laughed it off.
He did what he could, and the cardinal's situation stabilized slightly.
"Then, let's go and disinfect the whole body." Elaine said, "It doesn't matter if the body burns or burns?"
"It's fine." Goff's skin burns were limited to one piece of his face and chest, and his recovery ability was very strong. After so many days, he had almost recovered. He also applies strong alcohol to the wound every day to disinfect, and the whole body disinfection will not further affect the burns on his body.
"Please come here for cleaning and disinfection, Dr. Joffrey." Outside the other exit of the room, a monk from the church said through the gauze: "The Pope wants to see you after the doctor has cleaned it."
It's finally here. Elaine raised an eyebrow, knowing that this was an opportunity.
