Chapter 467 Merlin Is Mine

St. Anthony's Fire is actually ergot poisoning, and ergot is produced when fungi infect grains such as rye.

If you do not pay attention to eating it in your stomach, it may cause very serious consequences.

This is also the reason why Rogers fell ill as soon as he returned to his wooden castle, and he would feel better as soon as he left.

The treatment of this disease is not complicated, as long as you take antifungal drugs, and it has almost disappeared in modern times.

But in the Middle Ages it was pretty damning.

Usually, however, more peasants suffer from this disease, because noble lords seldom eat rye.

But the Rogers family, as a new nobleman, has recently encountered some financial problems, and they are very nervous, so they have to start eating rye.

Moreover, Mrs. Rogers was worried that other nobles would know about this embarrassing thing and be ridiculed, so she asked a maid to go to a distant town to secretly buy it.

The result probably ran into unscrupulous merchants, who directly ground the moldy rye into flour and sold them.

As a result, their family was poisoned one after another, and their daughter died.

Li Yu roughly found out the ins and outs of the matter, but did not tell Rogers everything.

At first, it was difficult for him to explain to Rogers what fungi were, and why fungi caused him to dance uncontrollably, and the truth was too cruel for Rogers and his wife.

In order to save money, the daughter died.

After removing the curse for the wooden castle, Li Yu just asked Rogers to give him the rest of the rye, and warned the latter not to go to that town to buy flour again.

Li Yu didn't destroy the rye flour afterwards.

Because when Li Yu checked the information, he found that this thing can also be used as a biochemical weapon.

It is rumored that around 600 BC, the Assyrians sprinkled fungus-infected rye flour into the black water upstream, causing the enemy troops downstream to be poisoned.

Li Yu is skeptical about this statement, because it is not so difficult to poison the river, but the well water is likely to play a role.

And the premise must be that the person who drinks the water does not notice that the well water has changed.

As for mixing it with bread, it's quite suitable, but that's still the problem, nobles generally don't eat rye, and commoners don't have much value in poisoning.

For the time being, Li Yu just asked people to put away the flour, and no one was allowed to eat it.

In order to repay Li Yu for dispelling the curse, Rogers led people to catch up with them and voluntarily escorted them to the capital.

In fact, along the way, as Li Yu became more and more famous, not only ordinary people, but also more and more nobles came to him for medical treatment and help.

In addition to Treg and Rogers, Li Yu also helped a wandering knight named Orwell. Orwell had no territory, so he simply joined the Shuangxiu Church.

In addition, after being given a pair of glasses by Li Yu to treat myopia, Jill, the patriarch of the Blaise family, was also very generous. Although he didn't come to the capital with him, he directly lent hundreds of cows and horses to Miss Rabbit.

Help the elderly or those in poor health to keep up with the large army at the back of the team, and also allow the female lord to speed up the march.

Seeing that the Lion Heart Castle was getting closer, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Calculating the time, they should still be able to reach the capital of the empire before the start of the martial arts tournament, and it will not delay the business.

And now the female lord took a look at the people around her, and found that she had a few more allies, and even more followers.

If all these people can be brought back to the green field in the end...then the population of her territory will have another huge leap.

The total number of people is estimated to have doubled compared to when her father ruled, and it has only been less than a year since she took over this area. The speed of development can be said to be amazing.

And a larger population also means more taxes, and more soldiers can be recruited. Miss Rabbit couldn't help swallowing when she thought of this.

Of course, the problem is not without it. Compared with the Arias family whose name has not been heard much, these people seem to be more willing to listen to the words of Shuangxiujiao and Li Yu.

The female lord is actually no stranger to this situation. The lizardmen who came out of the swamp basically only listened to Li Yu's words, and the remnants of the Weiting family also felt that they listened to Shuangxiu's teaching.

The fellow nobleman, Ilea, could somewhat guess what was going on in their hearts.

After all, the Weiting family was once one of the twelve largest families in the empire, and was at the top of power, but because of that rebellion, they fell into the dust completely, and those who died died, and those who were imprisoned were imprisoned.

Now the remaining people have to make a living in the territory of the female lord, and are sheltered by a small noble in the western region that they have never heard of before. This reality is probably difficult for them to accept.

In contrast, the Shuangxiu Church is a sect after all, and it is easier for the Weiting family to accept the Shuangxiu Sect.

In addition, some people who asked for weekend teaching and treatment also became faithful believers on Saturday after they recovered from their illnesses.

But Ilea didn't think there was anything wrong with this situation. First, she had always trusted Li Yu unconditionally, and second, she was the only lord who believed in the Shuangxiu religion.All believers of Shuangxiu Sect are basically her leaders.

But this trip to the capital, with the participation of several other nobles, especially during this period, Wilder and others asked her more and more frequently about Shuangxiu Jiao and Li Yu.

Obviously also a little tempted, wanting to convert to Saturday.

And this is not surprising, considering all the miracles they have seen along the way, including the unheard of heroic spirit summoning ceremony that can bring the "dead back to life".

The shock brought by them must have deeply impressed them, and it is reasonable to have such an idea.

Of course, except for the wandering knight Orwell, others must be very cautious if they want to change their beliefs, after all, there are many things involved.

They only have intentions in this regard now, and it may take some time until it is actually implemented.

But the female lord can also vaguely feel that one day in the future, the two-day teaching may no longer be exclusive to the green field.

At that time, the order she issued may be even more difficult among the believers of the Shuangxiu Sect.

How would she deal with her relationship with Li Yu and Shuangxiu on this day?Speaking of it, her father seemed to have reminded her not to let the theocracy expand blindly.

But Miss Rabbit just worried about this matter for a while, and put it behind her. She thought, anyway, Merlin knows everything, so it would be good to just ask Merlin if the time comes.

After figuring this out, the female lord felt at ease again, and chatted with Li Yu about the things that happened on the road. A sense of tiredness came over her, and Miss Rabbit fell asleep reclining on the chair.

My ears twitch from time to time, I don't know what I dreamed about.

Li Yu shook his head, stepped forward and gently covered her with a blanket, and when he got closer, he heard someone muttering in sleep.

"Merlin is mine, no one is allowed to snatch it, hehe!"
