Knight's Guide to Anti-Wolf [Western Fantasy]

Ansu sincerely hoped that his judgment was wrong.

He would rather encounter incurable smallpox than this disease.

Although smallpox is terrible, it has long been wiped out by the simple, effective and cheap vaccine of cowpox, and smallpox is mostly through droplets and direct contact, and its contagion is much weaker than that of the Black Death.

But the horror of the Black Death is far higher than smallpox, because of his damn contagiousness.

This virus, whose real name is Yersinia pestis, spreads in mice, but the mice are not the direct transmitters, but just a cargo ship. The fleas on the mice are the main force of transmission, because after being infected with this virus, the digestive tract of the fleas is broken. They will be blocked by this virus, the blood it sucks cannot be digested, and they will forcefully bite all creatures that can bite with their muscular guts, but at the same time sucking blood, because they cannot digest, they spit out the blood with the virus into the host body.

After being unable to eat, it will continue to jump on other organisms, expanding the virus as a whole before dying.

But this is just the beginning.

After a person is bitten, the blood will be infected immediately, and the multiplying pathogens will produce toxins, causing sepsis. When the blood infects the lungs, the patient's cough and droplets will also carry the pathogens and infect the people who take care of them.

Then the population moving to escape the plague will expand the scope even more.

That's why, this thing is also the biggest killer in human history. It's a joke to say that nuclear bombs destroy the world. After all, it is impossible to plow the earth once, but this virus has brought about three tragic extinctions.

Ansu really wanted to do some research like sectioning, but he didn't have a microscope, and even if he was sure, where could he find things like streptomycin or gentamicin?

Even if the only penicillin he knew about the extraction process would not be able to be produced for a while, and the book never said whether penicillin was right or wrong, but if it could treat sepsis, it might still have some effect.

but……

He thought of the Holy Light.

He has three divine spell slots for Holy Light, which means that he can cast Holy Light three times a day. Don't underestimate these three Holy Light. Rescued himself from the brink of death.

He whispered in his hand: "Holy Light."

A mass of soft white light descended from the void, covering the patient in pain. The expression on the patient's face gradually eased, the purple spots and swelling on the face gradually disappeared, and the swelling in the abdomen became dry. Within a minute, the whole person seemed to recover. normal.

But Ansu knew that the holy light technique only increased the patient's vitality and restored the organs damaged by the virus one by one, but it could not eliminate the pathogen in the body. The object of treatment was the injury, so that the patient had more time to resist Virus.

It won't be long before he will be what he was before.

The exorcism technique is also a kind of holy light magic, but that kind of technique is far more complicated than holy healing, and it is a skill that can only be mastered by second-level priests.

However, it is not impossible.

Just thinking of the ten rooms and ninety-nine empty, almost doomsday scenes in Europe back then, he didn't dare to do anything to hide his clumsiness. Although he is a forensic doctor, he also has medical ethics.

Ansu went to the kitchen, collected the ashes from the fireplace and the kitchen, put them in a bucket and poured them into the cauldron.

Then went to look for oil and found a small bottle of goat oil in the kitchen.

Well, you can start trying.

Historically, there was only one thing that defeated the plague, and that was soap.

This thing is very easy to make, just add oil and water to the plant ash, boil it and put it in a mold and wait for it to dry.

Any kind of oil is fine, even gutter oil is fine, the only thing you need is to know how much. Ansu remembers that the teacher in epidemiology also talked about the specificity of various medicinal soaps. If there is no coking industry now, he would like to Make carbolic acid soap directly, make some soapy water from that thing and sprinkle it in the house, it can kill the remaining germs.

The book says that after the large-scale application of soap, the lethality of this disease will be directly reduced from one-half to one-tenth of the total population. In the final analysis, hygiene is the most important thing.

But when everything was ready, Ansu felt a headache facing the stove, and begged for the natural gas that could be turned on by twisting it off.

A middle-aged woman who just came in saw the plant ashes in the pot, and immediately screamed: "My lord, you, how can you treat the precious iron pot like this? There is also sheep oil, which is used to bake bread. Use, my God, how could you—how could you do that?"

Ansu took out a gold coin from his bag and put it on the stove.

The screaming stopped abruptly.

The woman is just a peasant woman. She works here because of her pious belief and because she can get a delicious buttered bread every day. For an ordinary farmer, this is already a job that makes countless people jealous.She was so excited just now, and she was also worried that she would be implicated and punished, thus losing her precious job.

A gold coin, this is a precious thing that she has never seen before. Her most expensive dowry is just a set of necklaces with copper flowers, and the highest she has ever seen is a big man with silver coins.

"It's just in time, help me light the fire." An Su said lightly.

Then there was light smoke from the kitchen chimney.

A strange smell came from there, causing people around who didn't know the truth to watch.

At the beginning, the coagulation of oil and plant ash was not very good. Ansu adjusted the ratio repeatedly. Fortunately, this can be used repeatedly without any waste, and then it gradually became smoother. However, there is no touch tool, so Ansu directly used a A wooden bowl to hold.

Soon, bowls of semi-liquid soap with a slightly pungent smell appeared in the kitchen.

Farmers who had never seen soap talked about what kind of food it was.

Ansu said it was a cure, but none of them believed that grass ash and oil could cure the disease, and they all thought it was impossible. They discussed that bloodletting is the right way for this disease when there are not enough priests. , or go to the holy city to bring some soil and holy oil back for treatment, or go to the church's great church to lick the handrail of the temple...

After hearing this statement, An Su knew that it was unreasonable. He had no way to explain things like bacteria and viruses to others, and grinding microscopes was never a court subject, not even a compulsory course.

He thinks it's better to let Xi Ya know first, after all, this is his territory.

The autumn sun is short, and soon, night falls.

Xia walked out of the room with a pale face. He first went to see the dying patient. After finding that the patient had recovered a lot, he asked around and finally quietly appeared in the kitchen.

His complexion improved a lot, but Ansu knew that his illness was not cured.

Shia told the peasant woman to leave first.

"I'm sorry about the previous matter, thank you for your help." Xia first thanked Ansu.

"This is the protection of the Holy Light." Ansu replied instinctively.

"I'm sorry for making you work so hard, but are you making soap?" Shea looked at the cauldron, which is something that nobles like to use. Of course, there are also monasteries, but they are all official priests or saints above the first order. Used by knights.

"This plague can't be cured," Ansu thought for a while, and explained, "I've seen this kind of disease. Common herbs are useless. Only soap can kill the disease and stop their spread."

"Have you seen this disease?" Shea asked softly.

"Yes, the eruption is very terrifying. There are dead people everywhere, no matter whether they are humans or animals, and there is nowhere to bury them. It is more terrifying than hell." Of course Ansu has never seen it with his own eyes, but history has proved that he is terrible.

Xi Ya's eyes flickered slightly, and with her fingers behind her back, a group of spike-like black light quietly condensed.

"We must report to the higher-ups quickly, and at the same time inform the higher-ups of Water Spring Fortress. If we don't hurry up, this place will become a dead city." An Su frowned, "How long will your teacher come back?"

"He has been there for ten days. There are many people in the church. The transfer of pastors above the second level requires the approval of the arch cardinal. It is not uncommon for him to spend a month," Xia said.

"Then I'll leave this to you." That's all Ansu can do. He believes that the pastor is more professional than him in appeasing the people. However, he added, "Do you trust me?"

"From a material point of view, I don't believe it." Xia was silent for a while before saying, "But there is no harm in this, I will distribute these."

"That's not enough. Rats and fleas are the source of infection for this disease. Only by eliminating them can this disaster be completely eradicated." Ansu thought about the poor sanitation situation in the city.

"Ansu Heragalan." Xia interrupted him suddenly.

An Su's eyes turned cold, he remembered that he hadn't reported his last name.

"Seven days ago, all the churches have received orders, and we will immediately notify the cardinals when we receive your news," Xia quietly brushed away the black spikes on her palm, "Queen Pigna has been regent, and the church has recognized her authority." Ruler, you and the second prince are already in the church's eyeliner, go back to your family's territory immediately, only there can protect you."

Ansu was taken aback.

"You are a good person, I don't want to kill you, you go." Xi Ya turned and walked out.

"This kind of plague is really terrifying." Ansu suddenly felt sad and annoyed. He didn't know why this happened. Ansu was so kind before, why should he be treated like this?Why did no one believe him when he clearly wanted to prevent a disaster?

"I know, even better than you." Shea turned her back to him, and said softly, "But do you know? This kind of case has been found in Sunny Harbor, and the conclusion of the Cardinal Church is that water will make the body unprotected , let the toxic air into the body, it is the thick dirt that stops the disease and is being advertised as such."

"It can't be like this!" Ansu grabbed him, "This will make this plague spread to the point of no end! Countless people will die."

Xi Ya sighed slightly: "You and I can't change it, let's go."

Ansu clenched his fists and left straight away.

Seeing his disappearing figure, Xi Ya shook his head slightly: "It's really kind, the legendary champion knight."
