Riding and Slashing

Chapter 250 Blood and Poison
In fact, Lisa Dilan not only won't get lost, but even his horse won't get lost...

It is true what kind of people raise what kind of horses.

The Nudor horse brought Anson back to Brettween a few hours later, and Anson also met the lord here again.

However, Anson was also dumbfounded after seeing the corpse in that temple, because there was not a single corpse in this temple just a day ago.

The day before, Anson had come to Brettweng.

He came here because people from Boshi City told him that there was a Snake Cult lair in Breitwen a year ago.

Since the Red Death was spread by the Snake Worshipers, Anson naturally wanted to visit the Snake Cult's lair, and maybe he could find clues to cure the Red Death.

After all, things like the Snake Heart Stone were first discovered from the Snake Worship Cult. Many seemingly evil things are criminal tools in the hands of malicious people, and they may be able to cure diseases and save lives in the hands of doctors.

And Anson has always believed that the people of the Snake Cult may indeed be using the Red Death to select soldiers, but they must also have a way to suppress the Red Death.

Of course, Ansen also knew that he was not good enough to go out alone.It's just that Li Ang's troops are not in Boshi City for the time being, and before he became a real Glorious Crusader, Ansen was unwilling to order the exorcists to do things, so he recruited some people on the spot in Boshi City.

Anyway, it was just to go to the nearby Brett Wen to check the former territory of the Snake Worship Cult and look for clues. It was not for combat, and indeed there was no need to take away the plague exorcists who were already understaffed.

Julia, who was looking for a job at that time, became Anson's temporary employee - Boshi City was besieged by the rebels before, and she was sealed in the city for several months, eager to find a job to earn a living.

Coupled with the fact that Anson recruits people without checking their identities, Julia, a wanted criminal who hides and hides, only dares to find this kind of job...

Anson was lucky. He met a priest of the Snake Cult as soon as he arrived in Breitwen—in fact, Anson was not sure if the priest belonged to the Snake Cult, because the priest was a male and only wore a green hooded cloak. There is also a mask on his face.

The mask on his face really looked like something from the Snake Cult—the mask looked like a winged snake, which was basically the appearance of Aziz Dahaka as depicted in the seminary.

The priest was opening a sealed temple and brought out a comatose patient who appeared to be clearly infected with the Red Death.

The patient looked rather terrifying, his whole body was soaked in blood, and he seemed to be in the late stage of the Red Death, and there were even snake-like scales on his face.

In such a situation, everyone was afraid of contracting the Red Death. As a result, most of the guards Anson recruited temporarily ran away, except for Julia.

In fact, the reason why Julia didn't run away was only because she had an unusual hatred for the Snake Worship Cult—she planned to kill the Snake Worship Cult priest.

That priest is not very skilled, but Julia's level of fighting alone is not much higher...

During the fight, Julia was stained with the blood of the comatose patient, but she couldn't kill the priest after pestering her for a long time.

And Anson found that Julia had wiped off the blood stained on her body and face, but there was no abnormality on her face.

Normal people will have red spots on their skin within a minute or two after being contaminated with the pus and blood from the patient of the Red Death, but Julia is obviously just a normal human being, but nothing happened at all—this means that the patient’s blood Blood is not contagious!

A patient who seemed to be in the late stage of the Red Death was covered in pus and blood all over his body, but it was not contagious... and the priest had directly touched the patient just now.

For a doctor like Anson, finding a way to suppress the spread of the Red Death is more important than anything else. Even if the disease is still incurable, if you can find a way to make it non-infectious, it is equivalent to finding the best medicine .

So he sneaked towards the patient while the priest was entangled with Julia.

And the priest of the Snake Cult seemed anxious when he saw Anson running towards the patient, and then the priest summoned a devoured person covered in snake skin, probably planning to kill Anson, and then ran away with the patient.

But at this time, Anson rushed up like the most heroic knight, and the doctor who had no fighting power actually kicked over the priest and the devoured man who was not walking steadily, and then he and Julia dragged the patient together and ran to the lake.

The Doctor's luck was indeed good, and he found a boat on the little dock behind the temple--it was obviously the priest's boat.

I don't know why Anson had such a strong explosive power at the time. Perhaps people's beliefs are indeed the most powerful weapon.

People were robbed, and even the boat was robbed. The priest was probably enraged, and he blew a strange flute.

Then Anson and Julia saw a large group of devoured people approaching from all directions, so they hurriedly rowed and ran away from the lake.

However, in a panic, they went in the wrong direction.

"So...this is probably Antonius who was supposed to be lying in the temple?...It seems that the priest sealed the corpse in the temple again...It's strange, why did the priest have to do it in this temple? What about these things?"

Li Ang was keenly aware of the abnormality - if this is a ritual, wouldn't it be impossible to perform it in another place?
What is this ritual for?
"My lord, I remember that mysterious person said that these are nine hundred and ninety-nine corpses and a God-Chosen Warrior...Evil rituals with this amount should be rare, and Miss Luciana, the daughter of Governor Justus, may know ——It is said that Miss Luciana has read all the books that can be found in the entire Boshi City."

It was Sigismund who was speaking. It seemed that he had heard the rumors of Luciana during the time when Bacchus was engaged in the gladiator uprising, but apparently he still didn't know that Alina was Luciana.

"The problem is...Luciana is not in Boshi City, her current name is Alina, and she is in Dilingang with Justus...how about you and Klose go and bring Alina back? Klose, by the way, let’s dispose of the iron-clad ship you left in Dilingang, and go to Dilingang to rent a dock in the name of Silver Hand.”

Li Ang really intends to find out the meaning of this ceremony, which may lead to the truth of the Red Death.

……

Anson was treating patients on the spot in Brettwen Village at this time.

This patient should indeed be Antonius, anyway, he looks somewhat similar to Governor Kairos.

He didn't die, nor did he become something like a devoured person—he still had breathing and heartbeat, but it was very weak.

But thinking about what happened to him... To be able to be tossed until now and not die is already considered a very hard life.

"Anson, are you sure his Red Death is really not contagious?"

Since the Noldor elves and female soldiers were all sent out to search for Anson, and they haven't returned yet, right now Li Ang is surrounded by either rude gladiators or strong men who have no knowledge of medical and health knowledge. The assistant was actually Li Ang himself...

Although the lord never thought that one day he would be a part-time nurse, but in order to find a way to control the Red Death, he was willing to bend down and do some hard work.

Perhaps, this is the reason why a kind and soft-hearted person like Ansen has always been devoted to the cruel Lord Lord.

"I'm sure, my lord, otherwise I'd be infected by now. He should be anesthetized by the snake heart stone now, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake him up, he is too weak...I can confirm that he is infected with red The death disease was poisoned at the same time, and this poison may be able to suppress the spread of the Red Death...even suppress the Red Death from festering. I don't know what this poison is now, but now that I know the reason , I can always try it out..."

Anson has never rested, but he is still full of energy, walking around the patient, using various medical tools to extract blood and broken skin fragments from the patient, refusing to stop for a moment.

"This place is not suitable for research, maybe he should be taken to Bozhi City or Karen Deer Castle..."

Li Ang said hesitantly, but he felt that this patient probably couldn't stand the torment anymore, and he might die at any moment.

"Then he will probably die on the road... My lord, we have to keep him alive before we find out what poison he has..."

Anson raised his eyes and shook his head seriously.

"Well, you are a doctor, you have the final say... However, if he still can't wake up, you can't be sure what kind of poison he has, right? We have to find a way to get him to replenish some water, and then let him wake up Come here...or I don't think he might wake up again."

Li Ang took out a long hollow needle from Anson's medicine box, looked at it carefully, and then began to clean it.

This should be a long hollow needle used to balance chest pressure. It is two millimeters thick and one and a half feet long—this is a common situation after severe trauma to the chest and abdomen. When necessary, this hollow needle should be used to vent the chest cavity. pressure.

This kind of hollow silver needle is very valuable, and only a doctor with a relatively high level like Anson has this kind of equipment.

Anson maintained these instruments well. In this day and age, Anson was one of the most hygienic people, and the needles were kept very clean.

"Your Excellency...you are right...but if you want to feed him water, you should insert a gastric tube. It is a needle for treating pneumothorax..."

An Sen looked up and agreed with Li Ang's decision. He also felt that the patient really needed to be hydrated. If he could wake him up, he could at least judge the poison's composition through medical consultation.

"No, I think I should try this... watering him may not be useful the way he is now."

Li Ang took out two round...fruits from his saddle bag.

That is coconut, the most reassuring fruit in this era, bar none.

Most of the southern part of the Bacchus Empire is a low-altitude, hot and humid area with plenty of sunshine and coconut trees growing everywhere. Li Ang's troops had obtained a lot of coconuts in Feidna Village before.

Any army will pay great attention to obtaining reliable food and water along the way, and as the highest leader of the army, someone will naturally prepare the most reliable spare supplies for the lord.

"He had been bled before, and he hadn't been replenished with water. He had to be given an infusion... that is, coconut water was introduced into his blood."

Li Ang gestured twice with the needle, and then began to repeatedly burn the long hollow needle on the fire.

"You mean to pour coconut water into his veins?"

An Sen looked at Li Ang's actions hesitantly: "Can fruit also replenish blood?"

"Of course other fruits won't work, but coconuts can...Of course, it's only for emergencies. Coconuts are not blood plasma after all."

Li Ang said with certainty.

Although Ansen's medical skills are already quite advanced in Pendor Continent, he can understand that weak people need to quickly replenish nutrients, and he can also understand that directly getting blood vessels is indeed the fastest way, but he obviously can't understand coconut water This kind of thing can actually enter blood vessels.

But fresh coconut water that has not been opened can indeed be used as a substitute for sterile plasma and glucose solution in an emergency.

Since there was no reliable catheter, Li Ang directly used the long needle to complete the connection between the coconut and the patient—his hand was fairly stable, and after only three punctures, he pierced into the patient's vein, and then let Anson He took a net and hung the patient's arms and coconuts above his head.

Although Anson didn't quite understand it, he knew that the lord would not mess around at such a time.

Just like when Eric was rescued, Eric was out of breath, but the lord said not to give up, and the person was really saved.

Of course, this time is different from saving Eric.

This time, Li Ang and Anson didn't expect to make Antonius completely recover. They only needed to make Antonius sober for a while.

"My lord, do you think... people can also transfuse blood like this? My teacher also tried to transfuse the blood of another condemned prisoner into the wounded who lost too much blood, but the wounded died in the end... ..."

Anson looked at the coconut and said.

"Of course blood transfusions can be made between people, but each person's blood is different. Transfusion of unmatched blood is equivalent to transfusion of poison and death, and we can't distinguish the type of blood at present... If it is a mother of a compatriot Brother, it should be possible to transfuse each other's blood."

Li Ang taught Anson common sense that could not be discovered in this era without microscopes.

"Blood transfusion...the Red Death...infusion of unmatched blood is equal to infusion of poison...My lord, do you think that Noldor's blood is poisonous to human beings? Yes...I remember you said it before, Ug King Erric tried to find the blood of a noble maiden of the Noldor?"

Anson muttered to himself for a while, and then suddenly mentioned what happened half a year ago.

Li Ang was stunned for a moment.

"That's right... the Noldor elves will not be infected with the red death disease... He is looking for a Noldor noble girl, probably for stronger magic power? The eyes of a Noldor noble girl like Wendy are purple, which obviously means magic power ...And Lisa Dilan also said that magic power may be life force..."

An Sen looked at Li Ang, and the words became more and more smooth: "Sir, do you think the king is trying to infuse the blood of Nuo many girls into his own body? The madness inherited from their family...is it really madness?" ?”

"Anson...you are a genius."

Li Ang's eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked at Antonius, who was still unconscious: "Maybe...he wasn't poisoned...but was injected with the blood of elves."
