The wizarding world has avoided the world war and is still existing and developing step by step, but the outside world is different. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEven if Zhao Mai and Tolkien have only been away for three months, the changes outside make them feel a little strange.

Disease has enveloped the UK, people wearing masks can be seen everywhere, coughing and sneezing are everywhere, there are always long queues at roadside shops and pharmacies selling cough drops, and the doors of every hospital are piled with patients. Everyone was in a hurry, and even developed a new conditioned reflex: as long as they heard the sound of coughing, they would unconsciously stay away, as if they heard an air raid siren and began to dodge.

Europe is sick again, Zhao Mai thought as he looked at the scene outside the car window. What he saw alerted him, and he asked Doggian to look up the information on the auxiliary nervous system, and then he understood what it was. The 1918 Spanish flu infected more than 1 billion of the world's 1.7 billion people and killed 20 to 50 million people.

The First World War lasted 52 weeks, or more than four years, and the civilian and military deaths totaled more than 10 million, less than a third of what the flu had taken from the flu, which lasted for more than a year.

Humanity's greatest enemy is always disease, and this is especially evident in Europe. The Antonine plague, the Justinian plague, the Black Death, and this time the Spanish flu. Time and time again, disease reaps human lives and at the same time takes away the civilization created by man. The Antonine plague brought mighty Rome to its knees, smallpox killed the living power of the North American Indians, the Justinian plague ravaged the Mediterranean and took away hope for the final revival of the Byzantine Empire and ancient Egypt, the Black Death exposed the incompetence of the papacy, and the Spanish flu ......

There are also malaria, plague, tuberculosis and other demons, which always invade civilizations, and the denser the population and the less hygienic it is, the more likely it is to break out. It is very important to have effective prevention and medical treatment, and the Chinese nation can continue to rely on the importance of education and culture, relying on diligent hands, and relying on traditional Chinese medicine.

Along the way, Tolkien was silent, apparently frightened by the sight outside. When Zhao Mai stopped the car, he basically rushed in as if he was flying. Zhao Mai followed, carrying a large bag of materials for making potions. The small building was filled with the smell of potions, and there was a faint smell of blood.

In the bedroom on the second floor, they saw Edith. The originally happy and healthy hostess was pale, suffering from a high fever and repeated vomiting, and her mind was already a little confused. Tolkien grabbed her hand and called out Edith's name, which made her slowly open her eyes.

"You're back. Edith barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "It's okay, I'm already feeling better." Yesterday...... Ahem......" A violent cough interrupted her words.

"Let Jean a little bit, I'll treat her. Zhao Mai had just entered the room when he was stopped.

"Who are you, and why did you come to my house and claim to treat Edith?" it seems that the woman with a frown is the one who wrote the letter. Her eyes were bloodshot, her dark circles were unusually noticeable, and she had obviously not had a good rest for a long time. She also had phlegm in her throat and was presumably infected. Zhao Mai asked Tolkien and knew that Edith was an orphan like him, and that Lady Lorraine Wallen in front of her was Edith's godmother and had taken care of her for a long time, and it was similar to saying that it was a mother.

"Believe me, I can get rid of the disease. Zhao Mai reached out and pushed her aside and placed her on a chair in the corner of the bed. "Tolkien, I remember putting a lot of wine in your pantry. You go and put the crucibles up and get ready for the pharmaceutical. ”

"Can I stay, I want to ......"

"No problem. Zhao Mai patted his head, obviously forgetting human nature. "Ado, you take the flowers to do this. He then went to the bedside and began to cast the spell "Exorcise the Disease".

A soft green glow enveloped Edith's body, and it didn't last long, but the effect was very obvious. Edith frowned, looked at herself with some surprise, and tried to straighten up: "I feel much better, especially breathing. ”

"Most of the symptoms have been expelled, but you are still weak and need to rest. Zhao Mai said to Edith: "You give me your hand, and I will give you a review." ”

Zhao Mai didn't know how to take the pulse, he just took this opportunity to check it with the natural force. Just now, when he was expelling the disease, Zhao Mai felt that something was wrong: the disease in Edith's body was quite stubborn in the face of the natural force spell, and the difficulty of treating a cold was actually greater than treating his father's uremia. This is obviously unreasonable, and Zhao Mai suspects that there are other forces at work. Judging by her resistance to spells, Edith also seems to have fallen under some kind of curse.

Using the affinity of the Natural Force to living organisms, it is easy to find out the energy of unnatural non-living organisms. In Edith's lungs, there is indeed a cursed power entrenched, constantly absorbing her life force to speed up the spread and intensity of the disease. After Zhao Mai confirmed this, it took a lot of effort to remove the curse spell before pulling this energy out of her body.

A puff of black smoke slowly dissipated into the air, and the energy properties contained in it resembled the spell of a wizard. One observation was not enough to draw a positive conclusion, so he quietly said to Edith's mother: "Madam, Edith's illness is basically fine, but you must also avoid catching a cold again." I notice that you also have some symptoms, can you let me check it out?"

"Ah, thank you. Seeing that Edith's complexion improved greatly, Mrs. Valen's attitude quickly improved: "I'm really sorry just now, I didn't know you were a doctor...... Is Oriental medicine so magical?"

"It's not medicine, it's occult, and please keep it a secret. Zhao Mai didn't want to explain this problem in detail, so he had to write it off.

This time he didn't drive out the disease as soon as he came up, but first examined it with the Natural Force. Edith's mother's illness was milder, which may have something to do with her relative fitness. She has the same curse in her lungs, continuously sucking life force, catalyzing lesions, and then allowing germs carrying the same curse to spread through the air. The curse itself does not cause disease, its purpose is to replicate itself and speed up its spread, allowing germs to spread farther and faster, affecting more people.

The germs may be natural, but the curse is certainly man-made. Zhao Mai checked again and again, and basically determined that this curse was a wizard's magic technique, at least its energy fluctuations and spell composition had a similar style. There is this kind of thing, and if you want to heal a person, you need to exorcise the disease and remove the curse, and then you have to be careful to isolate it to avoid re-infection.

Zhao Mai's spell power is not weak, but he can only treat single-digit patients, so he can only take care of Tolkien's family first. If you want to heal more people, at least one block is cleared to form a buffer zone in a small area, then you can only rely on distributing potions. Although it is not possible to make a panacea for all diseases, it is not difficult to make a druid potion for only one specific disease, not to mention the alchemy knowledge of the Westeros Continent. There are also potions in the wizarding world that exorcise curses, which is a recipe that students must learn in Potions class, and now the key is how to combine them. Addo and Dogian cleaned up Edith's living room, arranged the materials in different categories under Xiaohua's guidance, and waited for Zhao Mai to do it. (To be continued.) )
