Chapter 81: The Demon Worm
Ilubeck thought Wren's words were a bit hidden.
After all, if you want to memorize the "Encyclopedia of the Basics of Pharmacy", the time of contact with medicine will definitely not be short, which obviously conflicts with his statement that he has only been exposed to pharmacy and dissection for a few months.
never thought that Wren was indeed concealed, but not exaggerated, but modest.
......
Wren is busy right now and he has too much to do.
Every morning, he would go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts for half a day, and then go to the library for two hours, flipping through various books and learning everything about this world.
I go to the lab in the afternoon and stay late at night.
Originally, Ilubeck was very unhappy with the new apprentice's fishing. He thought that as soon as Wren showed the slightest slack in the lab, he would immediately sweep him out of the house.
After all, people's energy is limited, and an apprentice who can't focus on medicine, no matter how talented he is, is miscellaneous but not refined, and it will be difficult to become a great tool in the future!
I never thought that in just a few days, this "plaything" apprentice would make Ilubeck, a top medical master, unable to find fault at all, and even became more and more amazing.
Learn well, learn well, and have an excellent degree of academic completion!
The old man found that he had given Wren the knowledge points he had taught on the first day, and he could always remember them perfectly in a short time, and there would never be any mistakes.
The practical techniques taught on the first day will be as skilled as a veteran on the second day.
It's as if the guy didn't sleep when he went back, but went back to practice (Wren did explain it that way).
Oh no, even if you don't sleep, the average person can't reach that level.
The only explanation is that he has a "demonic" learning talent!
Ilrubek also woke up to the fact that Wren's learning efficiency is not suitable for the step-by-step learning method of the Royal College of Medicine, and it should be "pulled out to help grow"!
With this kind of learning pace, he can learn in a few months the amount of knowledge that an average apprentice can master in a few years.
Now with a systematic learning program, Rennes has mastered medical professional skills by leaps and bounds.
It was only then that Ilubeck fully recognized Wren's status as his apprentice.
No matter what world you are in, a top student will not be blamed by a teacher.
Even if you skip class and go out to play games over the wall and get caught, the teacher will say kindly: Next time you go to the main gate, don't fall and delay your learning.
After all, this is the "City of Radiance" full of dangers, and it is understandable that surgeons can learn some physical martial arts.
Illubeck had changed his mind in a short period of time, and he felt that Wren's specialization in martial arts had not affected his studies at all, and that it was not indispensable to combine work and rest.
So, "Xueba Ren" stayed in the laboratory like this.
.......
In a flash, the ten-day period arrived.
In the "Bearded" hotel, the barbarian chick has already made the tenth notch on the wall with a dagger.
Udo had been staring at the door early in the morning, waiting for the man to show up.
After today, it should be the day when he fulfills his promise and sends himself out of the city.
Sure enough, tuk, tuk, tuk.
The knock on the door is heard every day on time at this point in time.
Udo excitedly trotted all the way to open the door, and this time, Wren with a crow mask was standing outside the door.
"Doctor Wren, you're here."
Udo had learned some of the common words of the lingua franca, and she looked at the people at the door, her eyes full of antiquity.
"Pack up, and if the lady doesn't come back today, I'll send you out of town after midnight."
Wren said calmly.
He was also a little puzzled, the date of the agreed "delivery" had arrived, and the Countess and Uncle Sam still had no news.
Is there something delaying them, or do they really not want this barbarian chick anymore?
Anyway, no matter what the reason, the appointed date has arrived, and his duties have been fulfilled, he can handle it himself.
"Really? Are you really going to send me out of town? ”
Wu Duo was afraid that this man would not keep his word, so he was worried all night, waiting for this sentence.
"Hmm."
Wren nodded, never intending to break the contract.
He didn't plan to stay in the hotel longer, and he also had to go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts.
"That..."
At this time, Uduo suddenly spoke up again and asked, "Doctor Wren, can you please help me with something?" ”
Today is the last chance, and if she doesn't say it, she won't have a chance.
Wren looked at her evasive look and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Hmm..."
Wu Duo hesitated for a moment, thought about it and said, "Can you help me inquire about the mechanical code of 'S11-7-YY567#22'?" It came from an inscription on a strange iron box, and I needed to find a way to open it. ”
“?”
Wren frowned, this was the second time he had heard the code from the barbarian chick's mouth.
Finally, the chick said something else. Maybe she felt that Wren could be trusted, or maybe she had no choice.
Two important pieces of information were revealed:
First, this barbarian chick does know the whereabouts of the "holy relic";
Second, the "holy relic" seems to be locked up by a mechanical box.
He didn't have much interest in coveting the hot relics of the Kirman clan, and when he thought that Carl Jr. happened to be a senior mechanic, he said, "Okay, I'll help you find someone to ask." ”
Wu Duo breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely: "Thank you." ”
This is a problem, and Wren suddenly thought of a question.
He suddenly asked, "By the way, Udo... Do you know about the ancient worm [Neurohaematitalia]? ”
"What bugs?"
When Wu Duo heard this, his eyes were dazed.
There are some differences between lingua franca and Coleman words about the description of things.
Wren thought about it, and carefully described the habits and characteristics of the blood nematode, and said, "Hmm... It's a parasite that is said to be a parasite in the period of mythology, and the blood vessels in the corpse of a mythical beast..."
In the past few days, I have been studying in the laboratory in Ilubeck and have learned a lot of professional knowledge. Anyway, there is no risk of worm infestation in the body for the time being, and Wren does not plan to use the "transplant method" to deworm for the time being.
And the old man also put forward a conjecture that it is possible to find another way to get rid of insects: this insect disease has been recorded since ancient times, and it is difficult to solve it by modern scientific methods, and perhaps some ancient transcendent means can solve it.
He also specifically mentioned the primitive tribes of the "Forest of Ashes", saying that they are good at repelling insects and controlling animals.
And Wren happened to know one.
It was the barbarian priest of this primitive tribe in front of him.
......
Even so, Udo had heard of it.
"Listening to your description, it seems to be the 'Demon Worm' recorded in ancient books."
"Demon bugs?"
"Hmmm! A 'palaic' parasite. Legend has it that they are so deadly that a single bug can suck out an adult demonic beast above the fourth order. But often there are thousands of them when they appear, and any monster infection will definitely die... But they should be extinct. ”
The hell knows where the guys of Omar found this ancient worm that was supposed to be extinct.
Wren asked, "Do you have any insect repellent methods in your tribe?" ”
"Nope."
When Wu Duo said this, Wren pursed his mouth, and he was inevitably disappointed.
It doesn't seem to work.
Udo looked at Wren's expression, guessed something, and asked, "Dr. Wren, are you infected with worms?" ”
Anyway, there was nothing to hide, Wren nodded: "Yes." ”
Wu Duo looked surprised: "Then you..."
"Then how am I still alive?"
Wren smiled bitterly.
He was alive because he didn't know which ghost had invented a potion that would make bugs sleep, saying, "Because bugs are dormant." ”
"Oh, that's it..."
Wu Duo felt that he had just asked someone else to do something, and he should also do a little help.
She knew that Wren must be trying to solve the infestation, so she tilted her head and tried to think about it.
"Actually... There is also a solution. ”
"What?"
"There is a record in the scriptures of our Kirman priesthood, and there is also a theory that this 'demon worm' was actually used to strengthen the warriors of the tribe a long time ago."
"Can parasites also strengthen the body?"
When Wren heard this, he felt a little incredible.
"Legend has it that a long, long time ago, when the gods had not abandoned this continent, those powerful humans would implant this kind of bug in their bodies in order to pursue the power of the gods, and then feed them to maturity with their essence blood..."
Udo struggled to recall the records in the texts, and continued: "This insect has no consciousness, it is a strange thing that exists by instinct. But after the insect absorbs enough nutrients and matures, it will integrate into the host's meridians and become a part of the host's meridians, which will give great feedback..."
"Huh? What are the benefits? ”
Wren vaguely understood.
This bug was originally the blood vessel of the ancient divine beast, and then after it matured, it became the host's blood vessel?
What's the use?
"I don't know exactly what the benefits of fusion will be, after all, no one has tried this method for at least tens of thousands of years. But this is indeed what is recorded in the ancient books that have been handed down in our clan. ”
Wu Duo also frowned, and said in an uncertain tone: "The mature 'Demon Worm' is immortal and indestructible, I think... Probably it can make the meridians tougher, right? ”
Wren pursed his lips and didn't say anything more, and asked casually: "How can you feed this worm?" ”
Udo: "Absorb the nutrients of the host's body." ”
“...”
Wren rolled his eyes when he heard this, a bug could instantly suck a fourth-order demonic beast dry. There are 1,800 less in his body, and a giant dragon is also sucked dry in minutes.
Perhaps, those super strong humans in the ancient civilization era whose combat power was close to the gods could be transplanted into the body to become stronger with this method.
But now human beings, absolutely impossible.
Unable to get any more useful information, Wren didn't talk to Udo much and turned to go out the door.
