Chapter 390: Thanks
Seeing the blacksmith leave, Lu Li immediately turned around and asked the girl who was standing quietly in place, "Carol, how far is it from Kempera to the border fortress of the Lund Kingdom?"
"Uh...... I don't know, it's quite far anyway, even if you ride a pegasus, it will take about five to seven days to get there, and it will take at least a month to walk, and if it is a large convoy, it will be slower, and it is normal to walk for two or three months. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" the girl replied without thinking.
Clearly, she, like most of Kempera's residents, is not very sensitive to distance and numbers.
In fact, due to the slow development of natural science, more than 90% of the people in the entire other world are illiterate, and the city of God's gift has a relatively high level of education due to the large number of adventurers gathered.
Of course, most of the adventurers are inspired by sages, forcibly pouring a lot of language and words into their brains, not through learning, and many stupid guys will even lose their ability to write again after a long time......
As for mathematics and the natural sciences, there is no such thing as a lack of estimates, and it is not surprising that they cannot estimate the distance.
However, if the other party can't figure it out, it doesn't mean that Lu Li can't figure it out.
According to the strong physical fitness of adventurers in other worlds, it is absolutely no problem to walk 50 kilometers a day, which is almost 1,500 kilometers in half a month, which is equivalent to crossing most of the United States from south to north.
There is no doubt that such a large span, even in a modern society with a relatively developed road network, is a rather troublesome thing, not to mention a primitive society with traffic congestion.
In order to make sure that the car could pass, he continued to ask: "What is the condition of the road along the way? Do you think my car can drive through?"
Carol lowered her head and thought for a long time, and said in a tone of uncertainty that she said, "It should be possible!" As far as I know, from Kempera to the border fortress, there are roads in most areas, only in the second half of the area there are a few steep mountain roads, even if you can't get through, you can stuff the car into the magic backpack and walk. ”
"Well, thank you for your answer. Lu Li thanked him, turned around and walked towards the outside of the blacksmith shop.
But before he could get ten meters away, the girl shouted at the top of her voice, "Hey, senior, you're going to come to the Hunting Moon, right?"
"Hehe, of course, I'll go!" Lu Li waved his hand without looking back.
As a lover of adventure, how could he miss this great and magnificent scene of nature.
As early as many years ago, Lu Li had a wish, that is, to save enough money to go to Africa to watch the largest animal migration on the earth's land before he was forty years old, and now that he has a better opportunity, he will naturally not give up easily.
However, according to Elder Renard's introduction, the "Great Invasion" often lasts for more than a week, and with the time to travel back and forth, it takes at least half a month.
Lu Li must make arrangements in advance to ensure that no one will call the police during this period of time, otherwise it will become very troublesome to deal with the aftermath.
He thought that it might be a good choice to go to some areas where transportation and communication were not very developed as a cover under the pretext of tourism.
As for where to go, he hasn't thought about it yet, whether it's Africa, Southeast Asia, or Central and South America, it's all within the scope of consideration.
While thinking about countermeasures, I drove, and it didn't take long for me to arrive at Mireya's apothecary.
As soon as he pushed open the door, Lu Li saw that the female elf was injecting a patient with medicine, and from the words on the small glass bottle placed on the table, it could be vaguely distinguished that the patient who kept coughing was suffering from tuberculosis, that is, tuberculosis.
Before the advent of modern medicines, there were not many drugs that could treat inflammation and bacterial infections in the other world, most of them were magic potions or magic plants, and the price was more expensive than the other, and ordinary civilians could not afford to consume it, so they could only wait for their condition to deteriorate and finally die in agony.
But this patient has obviously caught up with the good times, and tuberculosis that used to take hundreds or even thousands of gold pagodas to cure can now be cured with only five to ten gold pagodas.
Although this is still a big burden for lower-class civilians, it is still within the scope of bearing, and it can be paid off in about half a year to a year after suffering a little hardship and hard work, which is far better than waiting for death in the past.
As the liquid in the syringe was slowly injected into the vein, the patient's face showed a hint of nervousness, and then he asked in a low voice: "Doctor, is there any cure for my illness?"
"Yes! Last time, there was a guy like you, and it took about ten days, and the other one took fifteen days. Mireya said as she took apart the needle and syringe and threw them into the boiling water next to her to boil and sterilize.
Considering that discarding a large number of disposable syringes would cause white contamination, we purchased glass syringes that could be recycled.
"Ten days?!Oh my God! This is incredible! I heard the village chief say that there is no cure for a disease like this unless you pay a lot of money for expensive potions. The patient opened his mouth and let out a burst of exclamation.
Judging by his appearance and dress, it is clear that he is not a resident of the city, but a peasant from the affiliated villages around Kempera.
The female elf was amused, pointed to the densely placed cardboard boxes on the shelves behind her and said: "Do you see these new medicines? They can cure many diseases that could not be cured before, and the price is very cheap, most of them only need a few silver dragons, so don't hold on if you are sick in the future, hurry up and treat it, otherwise it will be too late for a minor illness to become a major illness, understand?"
"Thank you for the reminder, Dr. Mireya, that I will tell everyone in the village the good news when I get back. You are so great that you have invented a cheap and effective medicine that can be affordable for us ordinary people. As he spoke, the patient took off his straw hat and bowed respectfully.
"Hehe, no, you thank the wrong person, I'm not the inventor of these medicines. Well, the man who brought these medicines is standing at the door now, and if you want to thank him, thank him. Mireya winked with a smile.
Following her guidance, the patient immediately turned around and found Lu Li standing at the door, and without saying a word, he walked up quickly and saluted: "Thank you very much! You must be the savior of the god of medicine for us ordinary people!"
"Uh...... You're welcome. Also, I am not a believer in the god of medicine, but in Ista, the goddess of deception and strategy. Lu Li corrected with an embarrassed face.
Although it was very pleasant to be praised in person, he did not dare to be sloppy in terms of faction belonging and faith.
After all, Ista is Lu Li's top boss, and he is not sure what the consequences will be if he upsets this goddess.
"Ahh......h You are not a believer in the god of medicine?!" The patient's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
In desperation, Lu Li could only point to the adventurer's badge on his chest and explain, "That's right! ”
"Oh my God, you must have chosen the wrong faith in the first place. The patient shook his head regretfully, ran out and picked up an unknown creature that looked like a wild boar on the bullock cart parked at the door, and stuffed it directly into Lu Li's arms. "A little thanks, please accept ......"
