Alchemy Greater China

[136] blood exchange

The group of people followed behind, seeing this scene, they couldn't help but sweat a few drops of fright, and the slight alcoholic energy also woke up a lot.Some people have even started to regret it, they ate well, why did they get on their horses and follow them to this gloomy and weird place?

But it was too late to regret it at this time, the passage was inserted obliquely into the ground, Long Hao calculated according to the angle, and in just a few minutes, he had already descended to a depth of 50 meters underground!

In this day and age, 50 meters is already quite a deep underground distance, and considering that this place is at the foot of Buckingham Palace, the center of the British Empire, one can imagine how secret the place everyone is going to be! ..

In a secret place, the first-class secrets must be discussed, and secrets are most afraid of being leaked. There is an old saying: the best keepers of secrets live in the grave!Therefore, Long Hao vaguely feels that there is a murderous intent ahead of the unknown, although it is faint, it cannot be ignored.

At the end, the foot was finally flat, the guide grabbed the lamp on the wall and twisted it violently a few times, with a sound of "Kuangcha", one side of the wall suddenly fell flat, before Long Hao and others were shocked, A large cave entrance four meters wide and three meters high appeared out of nowhere.

The secret room, this must be the secret room, the guide shouted in a low and hoarse voice: "The queen is waiting inside, you all come in!", and then entered the cave first.

His tone matched the gloomy environment, and there was an irresistible magic power.

"Don't be afraid, everything is with me!" ..

Long Hao squeezed Melissa's cold little hand, and comforted him softly: "We have survived such a dangerous situation in Canada, are we still afraid of this place? Besides, the Queen may not have any malicious intentions."

"Ah."

Melissa nodded, her small face was still pale, but when she saw a test tube that Long Hao secretly took out, her expression immediately settled down.

Everyone went into the cave.The entrance at the back 'creaks' and immediately disappears, replaced by a wall.In the middle of the cave is a high platform with a brazier and a big bed. Queen Victoria was lying on her side in her nightgown.However, due to the angle of light and the relationship between several people standing beside her, the Queen's face cannot be seen very clearly.

Everyone who walked into the cave and stood there felt a little weird when they saw this scene.

If Victoria at the gate of Buckingham Palace is a holy queen, then at this moment, Victoria is more like a witch, shrouded in a cloudy and treacherous atmosphere.

"Quack, you're here!"

A hoarse voice came from the high platform, it was Victoria's voice.However, the tone seemed to be changed by a stranger, and Yin was creepy: "There are no seats here, please stand up first... Cough cough, I am sick, so I won't say more! Cough cough cough... "

The flames on the high platform twisted strangely, which seemed to be the simultaneous concerto of the Queen's cough.

Someone couldn't help it, it was an earl, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, we respect you! You invited us to such a hidden place, if you have any orders, please speak directly!"

"Yes. Yes!" The rest of the nobles echoed in low voices.There is no way, this cave is like the ogre's lair in a fairy tale book, full of dark and negative aura everywhere, so depressing that people's hearts are about to stop!Talking, but also ease breathing.

"Silence! Silence!"

A man's voice sounded from the high platform. "Her Majesty needs a quiet environment! I will answer your questions."

Long Hao's eyes were sharp, and that man was one of the few people standing beside Victoria's bed. He was wearing a black robe covering his head and feet, mysteriously like a priest priest in the Middle Ages.

"Who are you?" "Which one are you. Can you represent the queen?" "Report your name, and...take off the mask so I can see your face clearly!"

The nobles were in awe of the queen, but they were not afraid of this black-robed man of unknown origin. Their volume was a bit lower, but there were more sources of chirping voices.

"Hmph!" The black-robed man snorted disdainfully, and said, "I am the doctor invited by the Queen, and Her Majesty has also entrusted me with full authority to lead this matter! If you don't shut up, you are delaying the treatment of the Queen. Who is responsible?"

He is a doctor?All the nobles were taken aback for a moment, and then they didn't quite believe it: Heck, it must be a religious liar!

In this era, the authority of religion in Europe has been completely lost, and it has been reduced to a symbol of spirituality. Therefore, these nobles who have been educated in science since childhood are not very interested in priests and bishops.

"Ahem, Collison can represent me. What he said is equal to me... Ahem, what he said!"

At this time, Victoria who was lying on the bed spoke. Although the words were a little weak and difficult, the meaning revealed made the people under the high platform immediately shut up.

Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Collison seemed to have a low-pitched smile, then shook his loose robe, and said, "It's not complicated. Simply put, as Her Majesty the Queen got older, she contracted persistent illnesses." , I have prescribed a prescription for the queen, and you guys may be the right medicine."

"Yaoyin? What is that? Why can't I understand what you're saying?" This was shouted by someone who didn't understand Chinese medicine.

"Are you using oriental medical techniques? Using people as medicine guides, you are an evil spirit!" This is a person who understands Chinese medicine, yelling with a little fear.

"Hmph, ignorant people, how can you understand my superb medical skills... Forget it, all you need to know is that I need one of you to make a contribution, just to heal the Queen!" Collison snorted. He replied, "Don't worry, I won't let you do medicine for nothing. Her Majesty the Queen promised to reward you, tsk tsk, I'm quite tempted by this reward!"

"What reward?" Someone raised his head and asked immediately.

"It's okay to tell you first! In case you think that coming here is a disadvantage..."

Collison closed his robe, took out a small notebook, and read aloud: "If you are willing to be a drug guide, you will be rewarded with £30...to become a member of the British royal family and have the right to inherit the throne...without harming the interests of the British Empire." On the premise that the queen fulfills one of her wishes... When necessary, there are 3 opportunities to mobilize the fleet outside the British mainland..."

Collison was reading, but the people in the audience had already opened their mouths in surprise. There was only a rough sound of exhaling, but no words... Nothing, this reward is too, too, too fucking tempting, too , So fucking rich!

Everyone, including Long Hao.There is an uncontrollable greedy light in his eyes.

Money rewards aside, the right to inherit the throne alone is enough to drive this group of nobles crazy!

The right of succession to the British throne, that is the supreme power that can rule the empire that never falls after a hundred years of Victoria!Although the current number one heir is Edward Vidin, everyone in the upper class knows it.The eldest son of Victoria, the Prince of Wales, was very unfavorable, otherwise, Victoria would not have held the throne at such an age and not passed it on to Edward.

If he could obtain the right of inheritance, he would have the legal right to challenge Edward to the throne. The nobles in this cave, no matter which one, thought they would not lose to that ridiculous dandy who killed his father, the Prince of Wales!

And once you win, the entire British Empire is in the palm of your hand.The taste of the pinnacle of power, the feeling of ascending high and seeing all the small mountains, is so beautiful just by daydreaming about it.

In addition, even if you don't want to fight for the throne, a promise from Her Majesty the Queen and the right to mobilize the British overseas fleet three times are enough to make your status in the country rise sharply, or simply go overseas to capture a piece of fertile land.Dominate the top!

This big cake is simply too tempting.Even though it was full of poison, these nobles were willing to swallow it whole.

"Ah! I'm going to make medicine, give me this reward!" In the silence, a noble lady screamed first, her fat face flushed, and she raised her hands high without grace.I can't wait to rush to the high platform immediately and let Collison choose himself.

The noble lady's yell made other people react, and the voices of self-recommended and eager voices sounded one after another!

"Choose me! I am the closest blood relative to Her Majesty the Queen, and I will definitely be the most effective medicine guide!"

"I voluntarily become a medicine guide, I don't want the right of inheritance. As long as Her Majesty the Queen grants me a wish!"

"Me too...I don't want anything, just three chances to mobilize the fleet!"

"I only want 2 times... Dr. Collison, please choose me!"

...For a moment, the entire cave was filled with howls of nobles.

"stop!"

On the high platform, Collison flicked his robe and snorted heavily: "Didn't you hear me say that the Queen needs to be quiet! Anyone who makes noise without reason will be directly disqualified from being a candidate for drug introduction!"

After the words fell, the entire cave suddenly... became quiet.

"Hush, do you think Yaoyin can be done by just anyone?" Collison said with a disdainful smile, "I need to pick and choose carefully. I'm not afraid to tell you that the barbecue dinner in the square just now , It’s just the first round of selection! You guys are just the lucky ones who have just entered the second round..."

Everyone's eyes widened, and after patiently listening to Collison's simple explanation, they finally understood: It turns out that the purpose of the Queen's private banquet this time is to choose medicines for her own treatment!

Yaoyin first needs to be connected with Victoria's blood, which is why the Queen distributed Lion King bracelets all over the world.

Secondly, Yaoyin must have a good physique. The fine wine brought by the knight at the dinner party was actually specially processed by Collison. Only when he was not drunk can his physique be considered qualified.

Finally, in this underground cave, Collison will complete the final procedure: a blood test!

Only by passing the blood test can one become a real candidate for drug introduction.

"Cut your fingers, I need to draw a little blood from you!"

Amidst Collison's laughter like a night owl, several maids in white clothes filed down from the high platform, pricked each noble candidate's index finger, and then carefully drew out the blood beads, and finally Stored on small glass plates one by one.

Long Hao counted, a total of 11 yuan glass plate, carrying eleven blood samples, put on the tray by the maid, and brought back to the high platform.

Collison glanced at the tray and said, "You guys have to wait a little longer, I have to check your blood samples..."

After speaking, the black robe stirred, and the person disappeared directly on the high platform.

"Does it hurt?" During the waiting period, Long Hao held up Melissa's finger, looked at the scarlet spot on it, and asked lovingly.

"It hurts!" Melissa raised her fingertips, blinking her big watery eyes: "You give me a blow..."

"Huh..." Long Hao breathed out, brushed Melissa's fingertips rubbed with iodine, and said in a low voice, "This time the reward is very attractive..."

"Yeah, the right to inherit the throne, and one more wish, the right to command the Armada, anyone would go crazy!" Melissa blushed, and murmured softly, "I hope my blood can pass the test and help you... "

"The bigger the reward, the bigger the potential risk!" Long Hao kept calm, his eyes drifted to the hazy high platform: "In my opinion, this drug guide is not so easy to be... I would rather not have a reward than Hope something happens to you!"

"Yeah!" Melissa leaned her head away, feeling a burst of happiness after Long Hao's words.Even if she had to drain her blood immediately, she was willing to do so.

These two people are sweet and sweet, and the people around them are not so lucky. They either stare anxiously at the high platform, or walk back and forth anxiously, or occasionally throw a fierce look to the side People... In short, waiting for a minute and a second is very difficult.

I don't know how long it took, the lights on the high platform flickered, and Collison in the black robe slowly appeared, only to hear him say: "The result is out. Hehe, there are...three people who meet the requirements!"

three?Why are there only three candidates, but there are as many as eleven candidates!Among the three, will there be me?

After hearing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat, their hearts tightened involuntarily, and their palms were sweating.

"Except for these three, the rest, please go out!" Collison continued: "The three candidates are Marquis Dolly... Princess Andriel... and Princess Melissa!"

Every time he read a name, there was a commotion under the high stage.After reading the three names, the three candidates were of course relaxed and exhausted as if they had just run 5 kilometers, but the eight unsuccessful candidates and their entourages were naturally full of disappointment, with deep eyes. Unwilling.

"Why three? Why not me?"

"That's right, why does that fat man's blood work but mine doesn't?"

"I'm asking for a retest. I'm not convinced!"

The eight losers yelled one after another, among which the one who attacked Marquis Dolly spoke the most.

Marquis Dolly is a middle-aged fat man, the fat on his cheeks trembled, and his lips trembled with anger after hearing those ugly words.But he knew that public anger is hard to offend, he heaved his chest abruptly, and didn't answer back in a daze.

As for the occasional guys who scolded Melissa, Long Hao was unrestrained, protected the princess, and kicked those blind nobles and attendants with bruises and swollen faces.

"Do you dare to question my words?" Collison seemed to be angry, and he waved his black robe: "Come on, kick out these unsuccessful people!"

Collison received Victoria's authorization. As soon as he finished speaking, the wall on one side of the cave rose, and a group of heavily armed guards rushed in through the gap. I don't know how they identified them. Pointing at the muzzle of the black-holed rifles, the eight losers and their attendants were forced to drive out.

The sound of the boots gradually disappeared after the wall fell again, and there were only three candidates and their followers left in the cave and under the high platform.

The Marquess of Dolly, has a young page.

Princess Gemma Andriel has two Caucasian male attendants, one middle-aged man and one old man. Long Hao recognizes them. These two are the people who were looking for Gemma at the bottom of the Royal Garden that night!One of them seems to be called Sigta.

And finally Melissa and her dear Chief Guard.

A total of seven people.

"Wow, it's finally quiet!"

On the high platform, the brazier was still burning, and Collison let out a piercing laughter: "Marquis Dolly, Princess Andriel, and Princess Melissa, the blood of the three of you all meets my requirements, and you can treat the Queen. Sickness! But, in the end, only one candidate will be selected, which one of you voluntarily becomes the drug guide, and who voluntarily quits?"

The old man next to Gemma was the first to answer: "My princess, I will never quit!"

Speaking for the master, Long Hao couldn't help but glanced at the old white man, while Gemma's face was silent, pale and bloodless like a freshly painted mural, bright and lifeless, she stood in the original place without saying a word. It seemed that what happened around her had nothing to do with her.

Marquis Dolly's thick lips trembled, and he said, "I, I actually have a question that I have kept in my heart for a long time...Yao Yin, what are you going to do?"

"Yeah, the Marquis' question is also our question." Long Hao took the opportunity to speak, and said with a smile: "May I ask Dr. Collison, what should I do as a medicine guide? What are the risks? We can make a decision after we clarify it! "

With such a generous reward, Yao Yin must not be so easy to do!

Collison in the black robe turned around, bent down to wait in front of the bed for a while, seemed to have exchanged a few words with Victoria in a whisper, and then walked back, saying: "According to Her Majesty's wishes, I said in advance... To make Yaoyin, you must first drink the decoction I prepared, and after recuperating for a week, perform a whole-body blood exchange for Her Majesty the Queen!"

Blood change all over the body! ?

Under the high platform, the pupils of the seven people all shrank, but the meanings contained in them were different.

Long Hao frowned, pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Dr. Collison, I have also studied medicine. The amount of blood needed for a whole body transfusion is so much, how can one person have enough?" <It will have adverse effects on the body, And if it exceeds 1000, it will be life-threatening.

Whole-body transfusion generally refers to the transfusion of blood samples of the same blood type into a patient, which requires the support of a blood bank. However, a one-on-one whole-body transfusion is not called a blood exchange, but a life-changing!

Collison smiled shyly, and the yin wind from his mouth almost blew out the flames in the brazier: "To cure a disease, of course it has to be done in one go. Don't care about the life and death of this medicine! Do you think that so many rewards are given for nothing?"
