026: Healing the Sea Plague
As soon as Carl's words came out, it was clearly visible that the sailors who followed all trembled a little, and the horror in their eyes increased a little.
Luo Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it a red rash?"
Red rash, also known as sea plague, is a disease that occurs more often at sea, and when it occurs, it will have some rashes in the shape of red spots on the body.
Backward medical conditions always cause various illnesses in the course of the ocean, and of all diseases, the sea plague is definitely the most terrifying one for sailors.
When this disease is infected, it is no different from normal people in terms of appearance and physiological state, but once it occurs, it will have a sudden high fever followed by pain all over the body, and then significant fatigue, and finally die in convulsions all over the body, and the time from onset to death will not exceed three days.
What's even more terrifying is that the disease is very contagious, transmitted through the air, and once a crew member falls ill, few crew members are spared.
"Or else?" Karl replied without looking up, as he looked very bad.
"That's right. After thinking for a moment, Roshi continued: "Then I'll send dinner to the captain later, and then go and help see Algar." ”
"Look at what!" Karl lost his temper, and when he had nowhere to vent, he said angrily, "Don't you think our situation is bad enough?
Seeing this, Luo Xi simply shut his mouth, and after distributing food to the crew, he left the canteen with a plate and went to the captain's room to deliver food.
Although they had only been separated for two hours, when he saw Captain Dale again, his previous good mood had long since disappeared.
At this time, Captain Dale was sitting upright at the table, his hands folded together and dragging his chin on the table, his eyebrows tightly wrinkled together, and his face was heavy.
In the face of the dinner brought by Roshi, he just waved his hand casually, looking completely unappetizing.
Roshi walked over and put the plate on the table not far away, and then provoked the conversation: "Captain, I heard from Karl that Algar is sick. ”
Dale looked up, a smile on his face, and he coughed weakly twice, as if trying to maintain his majesty.
"Ahem, ahem, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. ”
This expression alone was not convincing, so Luo Xi simply got straight to the point: "Why don't you let me go and see? I have learned some knowledge of potions in my hometown." ”
If it weren't for the Tulip, Roshi would probably still be wandering endlessly on the sea, and without these crews, he wouldn't have been able to sail back alone, so he wouldn't have a reason to stand idly by.
When he heard the word potion just now, Dale's body visibly shook slightly, this is a skill that only scholars and priests can master.
But when he suddenly looked up and saw Luo Xi's old face, his eyes darkened again.
In recent days, he had heard from other sailors that the stories told by the old man were unrealistic myths, and it was inevitable that the elderly would be a little confused, not to mention potions, even if he said that he was the wizard Dale, it would not be strange.
But this is a good intention, and Dale accepted it, nodded, and agreed: "Since that's the case, then you can go and have a look." ”
The incubation period of the sea plague is very long, and since Algar has already become ill, then all those who should be infected on the ship have been infected, and contact is not a big deal at this time.
"But I'll probably use some of the plants in the warehouse, which I'll need to prepare potions. Roshi then spoke to Dale
Dale was in no mood to continue to talk to Rosie this time, nodded casually, and waved at him.
Coming out of the captain's quarters, Roshi asked a sailor to bring food to Louis for him, and he went straight to Algar's room.
Algar is in his fifties, a little younger than Rohi in appearance, but he can also be classified as a late old man in this era.
However, because he had enlisted in the army for a period of time when he was young, his physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary old people, but in the face of the sea plague, the body of mortals was as fragile as a rotten tree.
Algar, who was still alive in the morning, was lying on the bed like a puddle of mud, his eyes closed and his mouth slightly open, and his weak breathing was almost inaudible.
Roshi tried to wake him up, but he didn't respond after shouting a few times, and then pulled his sleeve and observed, the rash was already very obvious, and his body had even begun to twitch slightly, it seemed that he had reached the end of the sea plague, and if he was not treated in time, he would definitely not survive tonight.
After confirming that it was the sea plague, Roshi immediately went to the warehouse and took out a bread tree fruit, 10 bitter almonds, 6 blood shoots, and 4 white lemons.
The sea plague that terrified the crew was nothing to Roshi, and there was more than one way to cure this mortal disease recorded in the Wizards of the Black Tower, as long as an apprentice with basic knowledge of magic arrays could do it.
He took out a piece of magic oil paper from the space button, held a piece of stone Luo Xi and quickly drew a 20-centimeter magic circle on it, and then put several materials on it.
The potion to cure the sea plague is very simple, so simple that it doesn't even need to dismantle the magic array, only a fusion magic array is needed to complete it.
After a brief spell, there was already a pile of white powder on the table, which Roshi put into a bowl, poured a small half bowl of water, and hurried to Algar's room.
In addition to Algar, who was lying on the bed, there was one more figure in the room, the little boy Alan.
He crouched on the edge of the bed, clutching Algar's hand tightly, calling his name over and over again, his bright eyes already reddening.
"Don't be sad, Alan. Roshi went over and patted Alan on the shoulder.
Alan wiped the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and said sadly: "My father died when I was very young, and when I was a child, the children in the town always banded together to bully me, and later they heard that my uncle had been on the battlefield and had followed a knight, and they never dared to trouble me again..."
"I really can't believe that my uncle, who was fine in the morning, fell ill all of a sudden, and refused to open his eyes to look at me, no matter how much I called him. ”
"He'll wake up. Roshi reassured
"Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Roshi. Alan turned his head and squeezed out a smile, only then did he notice the decoction in Luo Xi's hand, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"A miracle medicine that can awaken your uncle. Roshi smiled mysteriously.
