lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

It’s important to know that only the Dionian Alliance in Greece has been vigorously training doctors, establishing hospitals and medical schools, with the full support and help of Daves, a consul with more than 2,000 years of medical knowledge. Research on treatments and medications has enabled Dionia, especially Turei’s medical business to flourish. It is far ahead of other Mediterranean city-states and countries in this era. Therefore, the medicinal street of Turri’s port market is in the whole The Mediterranean world is unique.

However, although this street is very famous in Nanyi, it is not crowded with customers like other streets. After all, most of the people who purchase medicine are doctors and pharmacies, and patients basically get their medicines in pharmacies in the city. Come to the market to buy this unprocessed medicinal material, and high-quality talents such as doctors account for only a small proportion of Dionian citizens.

So, Nick Stratus, who had just squeezed from the crowd, came to this street and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. They were curious to visit, watch, and consult the shops one by one.

They walked and came to a relatively large pharmacy, and found that the owner was actually a Bruti. He was using a blunt Greek pronunciation and bargaining with customers: "Master Olivers, I know You are from the Ministry of Military Affairs. You buy a lot of "Ma Chew Fruits" from me every year. That's right. But you came to buy too early this year, and the quantity is so large... You need to know Kosen The snow on the plateau has not completely melted. Only the horse chewing grass that grows on the lower terrain will bear fruit. The quantity is not much, and the price is of course higher. If you are too expensive, it is better to wait until summer to buy it. , By then the price of this'ma chew fruit' will come down..."

"Come back in the summer?...I'm afraid I won't wait for that day, Master Capus should tell me to get out!" The customer sneered, "I'll go to another store to buy it."

After speaking, he turned to leave.

"Wait!" The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped him, hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth: "Seeing that our fighters in Bruti also participate in training from time to time, we also need to use this kind of fruit water to quench their thirst. I am willing to drop another Opal! Lord Oliver, I really lost money this time!"

Olivers immediately turned angrily into a smile: "Agum, isn’t it that one Opole is less than a catty? This thing is everywhere on the Cosenza Plateau, and you don’t need to spend an Opole. It's all for nothing, what's so distressing!"

Agum smiled bitterly: "Master Olivers, this picking of'horse chew fruit' is not as easy as you said. As soon as the spring turns warmer, the women of our tribe will step on the slippery mountain road. Going up the mountain to pick them, risking being hurt by the beasts that came out looking for food, and competing with other tribes. Up to now, two women have broken their legs and are lying in the hospital! After the fruits are picked, they will be dried. However, in spring, it often rains continuously, so we can only use the stove to bake...The money we have earned back from our hard work has to feed the lives of thousands of people in the entire tribe. It’s not easy!"

Olivers ignored his complaints and said nonchalantly: "Do you care about your tribe? Or do you care about the money, and the number of times you go to the brothel should be reduced?"

Agumu's face suddenly changed, and he said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Olivers patted his chest and whispered: "It's all men, I understand."

Agum looked around and stopped talking.

"Brothers, choose 300 catties of ‘horse chewing fruit’ and prepare to take it away!" Olivers shouted, and a dozen strong soldiers came in immediately and began to squat on the ground to pick them.

Agum couldn't help but said: "You don't need to pick, they are all real'horse chew fruit', the quality is good! The port market management department does not allow us to cheat, I still want to buy and sell here for a long time!"

Olivers looked at him and smiled: "That's what I said, even for the sake of Chief Saru, I should believe you too. Then you can call us 300 catties of fruit."

Olivers then said to the soldiers: "I will go to other places to stroll around. After the fruits are weighed for a while, you will directly carry them back to the training camp."

"Yes, Captain!"

Olivers walked to the door of the store, remembered something, then turned around and said: "Agum, Lord Davers chatted with me yesterday and also specifically talked about the picking of this medicinal material. He thought,'For the picking of mountain herbs, Excessive, otherwise it will lead to the reduction of these plants, or even disappear!'"

Speaking of Daves, Agum immediately awed: "Master Daves really has a long-term vision, which is not comparable to others! But, Lord Olivers, you look down on us Bruti too much. We live on the plateau for generations. The streams, trees, flowers and grasses on the mountains are all gifts from the plateau goddess Amara to our Bruti people. If we ask too much from the plateau, then Amara will surely usher in it. Angry!"

Olivers laughed: "That's good! That's good!" After speaking, he glanced at Nick Stratus and turned to go out.

Agum ordered the slaves to weigh the ‘horse chewing fruit’ for the soldiers. Nick Stratus, Stasipus, and Lycasus took the opportunity to observe the small and hard red fruit.

"What is the medicinal use of this fruit?" Stasipus asked politely.

"Oh, this fruit is called'horse chew fruit'. It used to be everywhere on our plateau. No one cared. Only horses like to eat it when they are tired. Later, the doctors in Turiyi took this thing to study and said It can quench thirst and relieve fatigue by boiling water, so it is valuable. In the past two years, the Dionian Military Department has bought hundreds of kilograms of fruit from me every time. Drinking it after military training is very useful. You shouldn't be from Dionians, buy some and try it back." Agum sold them patiently.

"We are Crotone!" Nick Stratus interjected abruptly.

Agum said "Oh", there was no special emotion, as if the hatred between Crotone and Bruti had long since passed and vanished.

"How much is a catty?"

"Six Opals."

"Give me a pound," Stasipus said, taking out his purse.

Agum held a large handful of red fruits in both hands and poured it into a straw bag. Seeing that it weighs more than a catty earlier: "With this bag, count your seven opals."

"OK."

"What's the use of this kind of grass?" Nick Stratus asked curiously, standing beside a pile of withered grass that looked like thorns.

"That's thorny grass. The doctors in Turiyi found that mashing it and putting it in a hot bath can relieve itchy skin, which is a good thing!"

"Can this thing cure skin irritation?" Nick Stratus carefully touched the thorns on the grass, looking suspicious.

"Turiyi's doctors are all you...Well, the students taught by Master Dafus, a descendant of the **** of death, are all superb medical skills, just like...just like your Greek **** of medicine... As...Keller...Pi..."

"Asclepius."

"Yes, it’s the Greek god. What these magical Turye doctors say can still be false, not to mention that we have tried it and it does have such an effect. Now this kind of grass is often ordered by pharmacies. !... Now that the various tribes of Bruti have any ancestral cure methods, they ran to tell these doctors in Turyi, hoping to be proved useful by them, I heard that the Lukanians did the same...Dai Lord Firth is worthy of being a descendant of the gods, and let the wild flowers and weeds in our mountains become treasures!..." Agum said with gratitude and sigh.

Nick Stratus and Stasipus glanced at each other, both eyes were impressive. Through the past few days of study, they learned that the research on medical theory, the experience of consultation and treatment, and the development of surgery in Dionian Medical School are far ahead of other city-states. They did not expect to have done so much in medicine. jobs!

At this moment, Lycasus ran into the shop and said excitedly: "Teacher, there is a shop next to it selling what you said last time... what surgical tools!"

"Really?! Take me!" Nick Stratus dropped the thornweed in his hand and ran out with Lycasus, then Stasypus lifted the straw bag and went out.

After seeing all three of them leave, Agum mumbled: "The Crotone...huh..."

This shop selling surgical instruments next to the Bruti Herbal Shop occupies a small area, but there are a wide variety of exquisite iron and wooden tools, and they are carefully placed in different categories.

After Nick Stratus and the others entered the door, they just looked at with joy for a while, and the owner asked, "Are you Doctor Dionia?"

"No, we are from Crotone."

"Then you can only watch, not buy!"

"Why?!" Lycasus looked at him angrily.

"These tools are designed by Turey Hospital and sent to the iron workshop to make them specially. They made such a request, and the port market management office is responsible for supervision. We can't help it!" The owner shrugged , Said helplessly.

"Can't we give more money?" Stasipus asked tentatively.

"Don't hurt me. I don't want to have any stains on the files in Turrii's household registration office." The shopkeeper rolled his eyes.

"Stacipus, come and see!" Nick Stratus picked up a sharp knife the size of a leaf, and said loudly, "This is what Mr. Helps used to draw during the operation. A broken skin knife, this is—"

Nick Stratus picked up another small tool and said: "I remember called a clip, used to hold boiling water...well, the sterilized linen...and this...this curved needle, Used to sew wounds. Look, how exquisite they are!" Nick Stratus couldn't put it down, touching every tool.
