You must know that only the Dioonian League in Greece, with the full support and help of Davers, a consul from later generations who has received more than 2,000 years of medical knowledge, has vigorously trained doctors, established hospitals and medical schools, and conducted in-depth research on the treatment and use of medicines, so that the medical industry of Dionia, especially Turiyi, has flourished, far ahead of other Mediterranean city-states and countries in this era, so the medicinal herb street of the port market of Turiyi is unique in the whole Mediterranean world.

However, although this street is very famous in southern Italy, it is not as crowded as other streets, after all, most of the people who buy medicinal herbs are doctors and pharmacy personnel, and patients basically pick up their medicines in the pharmacies in the city, and few come to the market to buy this unprocessed medicinal material, and doctors are highly qualified personnel who make up only a small percentage of Dionian citizens.

Therefore, Nick Stratus, who had just come from the crowd of people, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed when they came to this street. They curiously toured, watched, and consulted one by one of the shops.

As they walked along, they came to a larger pharmacy and found that the proprietor was a Bruty, who was haggling with the customers in a stiff Greek pronunciation: "Lord Olivers, I know that you are from the Ministry of War, and you buy a large number of 'horse-chewing fruits' from me every year, and that's right." But this year you came to buy a little too early, and the amount is so large...... It is important to know that the snow on the Cosenza plateau has not completely melted, and only the horse-chewing grass that grows on the lower terrain bears fruit, and the quantity is not much, and the price is of course higher. If it's too expensive, why don't you wait until the summer to buy it, and then the price of the 'horse's chew fruit will come down......"

"Come back in the summer? …… I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day, and Lord Cappuses will tell me to fuck off! The customer sneered: "I'd better go to another store and buy it." ”

With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait!" The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped him, hesitated again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "For the sake of our Buranti warriors who also participate in training from time to time, and need to drink this fruit soaked water to quench their thirst, I am willing to drop another Opol!" Lord Olivers, I'm really losing money this time! ”

Oliver immediately turned his anger into a laugh: "Agum, isn't it just one pound less Opol, this thing is all over the mountains and fields in the Cosenza Plateau, and you don't need to spend an Opol, it's all picked up for nothing, what's so distressing!" ”

Agum smiled bitterly: "Lord Olivers, how can this 'horse chewing fruit' be as easy as you say, as soon as this spring warms up, the women of our tribe will step on the slippery mountain road, go up the mountain to pick, risk being injured by the beasts that come out to find food, and compete with other tribes, so far two women have broken their legs and are lying in the hospital!" After the fruit is picked, it has to be dried in the sun, but in the spring, it often rains continuously, so it can only be baked in a stove...... It's not easy for us to feed thousands of people in the tribe with the money we have worked so hard to earn! ”

Oliver ignored his complaints, and said coldly, "Do you care about your tribe? Or do you care that if you have less money, you have to go to the brothel less often? ”

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

Oliver patted him on the chest and whispered, "It's all men, I understand." ”

Agum looked left and right, and said no more.

"Brothers, pick 300 catties of 'horse chewing fruit' and prepare to take it away!" Oliver shouted, and immediately a dozen sturdy soldiers came in and began to squat on the ground to pick.

Agum couldn't help but say: "Don't pick, it's all real 'horse chewing fruit', and the quality is good!" The Port Market Management Department doesn't allow us to cheat, I still want to buy and sell here for a long time! ”

Oliver looked at him and smiled: "That's right, even for the sake of the leader of Saru, I should also believe you." Then you can weigh us 300 catties of fruit. ”

Oliver then said to the soldiers, "I'll go wander around the other places, and after a while the fruits are weighed, you can carry them straight back to the training camp." ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Oliver walked to the door of the shop, remembered something, and turned back and said, "Agum, Lord Davers chatted with me yesterday, and talked specifically about the picking of this medicinal herb, and he thinks, 'You can't overdo the picking of mountain herbs, otherwise it will lead to the reduction or even disappearance of these plants!'" ’”

As soon as he mentioned Davers, Agum immediately stood in awe: "Lord Davers really has a long-term vision, which is not comparable to others!" But, Lord Olivers, you underestimate us Brutis! We have lived on the plateau for generations, and the streams, trees, flowers and plants on the mountains are all generous gifts from the goddess of the plateau Amara to our Bruti people. ”

Oliver laughed: "That's good! That's good! With that, he glanced at Nick Stratus and turned to go out.

Agum instructed the slaves to weigh the 'horse-chewing fruit' for the soldiers, and Nick Stratus, Stacepus, and Lycasus took the opportunity to observe the small, hard red fruit.

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

"Oh, it's called 'Horse's Chewing Fruit.'" In the past, it was all over our plateau, and no one cared, only the horses liked to eat it when they were tired of running, and later the doctors of Turiyi took this thing to study, saying that it can quench thirst and relieve fatigue by boiling water and drinking, so it is worth money. In the past two years, the Dionian Military Department has bought hundreds of catties of fruit from me every time and drank it after the citizens' military training, which is very effective! You shouldn't be Ionians, so buy some and try it back. Agum patiently pitched to them.

"We are Crotone!" Nick Stratus interjected coldly.

Agum let out an "oh", with no special emotion, as if the hatred between Crotone and the Brutis had long since disappeared.

"How much is a pound?"

"Six Opol."

"Give me a pound." Stasipulus said, pulling out his money bag.

Agum held a large handful of red fruits in both hands, poured them into a straw bag, and saw that it weighed more than a catty: "Add this bag, count you seven Opol." ”

"Okay."

"What's the use of this grass?" Nick Stratus asked, standing next to what looked like a pile of thorny dead grass.

"That's thorn grass. Doctors in Turiyi have found that mashing it and bathing it in hot water can reduce itchy skin, which is a good thing! ”

"This thing cures itchy skin?" Nick Stratus carefully touched the spikes in the grass, skeptical.

"All those doctors in Turii are you...... Well, the students taught by Master Davers, a descendant of the God of Death, are all highly skilled in medicine, just like ...... Like you Greek god of healing...... As...... Koehler...... ...... shelter"

"Asclepius."

"Yes, this Greek god. What these miraculous Turii doctors say can be false, not to mention that we have tried it specifically, and it does have such an effect, and now this grass is often ordered by pharmacies! …… Now, the tribes of Bruti have any ancestral healing methods, and they have come to tell the doctors of Turii, hoping that they will prove useful, and I have heard that the Lucanians do the same...... Master Davers is a descendant of God, and has made all the wildflowers and weeds in our mountains treasure! ......," said Agum, gratefully and with a sigh.

Nick Stratus and Stasipulus looked at each other, both in their eyes. Through these few days of study, they learned that the Dionian Medical College is far ahead of other city-states in the research of medical theories, the experience of diagnosis and treatment, and the development of surgery, but they did not expect to do so much work in medicine!

At this time, Lycasus ran into the store and said with a little excitement: "Teacher, there is a shop next to you that sells what you said last time...... What a surgical tool! ”

"Really?! Take me there! Nick Stratus threw down the thorn grass in his hand and ran out with Lycasus, and then Stasipus picked up the straw bag and went out the door.

After seeing that the three of them had left, Agum muttered, "Crotone...... Humph......"

Located next to the Buruti Herbalist shop, this shop selling surgical instruments occupies a small area, but there is a wide variety of finely crafted iron and wooden tools, which are carefully arranged in different categories.

As soon as Nick Stratus entered, he looked at it with delight for a moment when the shopkeeper asked, "Are you Doctor Dionia?" ”

"No, we're from Crotone."

"Then you can only see it, you can't buy it!"

"Why?!" Lycassus looked at him indignantly.

"These tools were designed by the Turriyi Hospital and sent to the ironwork workshop to be specially made. They made such a request, and there is a port market management office responsible for supervision, and we can't do it! The shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

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

"Don't hurt me, I don't want any stains on the files in the Touriyi registry." The shopkeeper rolled his eyes.

"Stasipus, come and see!" Nick Stratus picked up a sharp knife the size of a leaf and said loudly, "This is the knife that Teacher Phelps used to cut through the skin during surgery, this is—"

Nick Stratus picked up another gadget and said, "I remember calling it a clamp, and I used to pick it up with boiling water...... Well, sterilized linen...... And this...... This curved needle is used to suture wounds. Look how elaborate they are! Nick Stratus touches every tool with his hands.
