The fire of St. Anthony is actually ergot poisoning, and the fungus infects rye and other grains to produce ergot.

If you don't pay attention to eating the inside of your stomach, it can have very serious consequences.

This is also the reason why Rogers fell ill as soon as he returned to his wooden castle, and he felt better as soon as he left his body.

The disease is not complicated to treat, it is enough to take antifungal drugs, and it is almost no longer present in modern times.

But in the Middle Ages, it was quite fatal.

However, as a rule, more peasants were affected by the disease, because the noble lords rarely ate rye.

However, Rogers' family, as a new aristocracy, has recently encountered some financial problems and is very tight on their finances, which has led them to start eating rye as well.

Moreover, Rogers's wife, fearing that such a humiliating thing would be known and ridiculed by other nobles, had a maid go to a distant town and buy it secretly.

The result is probably a black-hearted merchant who grinds the moldy rye into flour and sells it to them.

As a result, their family was poisoned one after another, and their daughter also died.

Li Yu roughly found out the ins and outs of the matter, but did not tell Rogers everything.

It was difficult for him to explain to Rogers what a fungus was and why it caused him to dance uncontrollably, and the truth was a little too cruel for Rogers and his wife.

In order to save money, he led to the death of his daughter.

After removing the curse from the wooden castle, Li Yu simply asked Rogers to give him the rest of the rye, and warned the latter not to go to that town to buy flour again.

After that, Li Yu did not destroy those rye flours.

Because when Li Yu checked the information, he found that this thing seemed to be able to be used as a biological weapon.

Legend has it that around 600 B.C., the Assyrians sprinkled fungal-infected rye flour in black water upstream, poisoning enemy troops downstream.

Li Yu is skeptical of this statement, because it is not usually difficult to poison the river water, but the well water is likely to play a role.

And the premise is that the person who drinks the water does not notice the change in the well water.

As for mixing it in bread, it is quite appropriate, but it is still the same problem, the nobles generally do not eat rye, and the commoners have no value of poisoning.

For the time being, Li Yu just asked people to put away the flour and not allow anyone to eat it.

In order to repay Li Yu for dispelling the curse, Rogers later led people to catch up with them and volunteered to escort everyone to the royal capital.

In fact, along the way, as Li Yu's fame grew, not only commoners, but also more and more nobles came to him for medical treatment.

In addition to Treg and Rogers, Li Yu also helped a wandering knight named Orwell, who had no territory and simply defected to the Shuangxiu Sect.

In addition, after Li Yu gave him a pair of glasses to treat myopia, Jill was also very generous, although he did not come to the royal capital with him, he directly borrowed hundreds of cows and horses to Miss Rabbit.

Helping some of the older or less well-being at the back of the group to keep up with the large army also allows the female lord to speed up the march.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Lionheart Castle, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Calculate the time, they should still be able to arrive at the royal capital of the empire before the start of the tournament, and they will not delay the business.

And the female lord now takes a look at the people around her, and finds that there are a few more allies, and as for the followers, there are even more.

If you can finally bring these people back to the green field...... Wouldn't the population of her realm be about to make another giant leap?

The total number of people is estimated to have doubled since her father's rule, and considering that it has been less than a year since she took over the area, the rate of development can be said to be very impressive.

And more population also means more taxes, and more warriors can be recruited, and Miss Rabbit can't help but swallow at the thought of this.

Of course, there are no problems, compared to the Arias family, who have not heard much of the name, these people seem to be more willing to listen to the words of Shuangxiu and Li Yu.

And the female lord is actually no stranger to this situation, those lizardmen who came out of the swamp basically only listen to Li Yu's words, and those remnants of the Wei Ting family feel that they also listen to the Shuangxiu Sect more.

Ilea, who is also a nobleman, can more or less guess some of what is in their hearts.

After all, the Wettin family was once one of the twelve great families of the empire, at the top of the power, but because of that rebellion, it completely fell into the dust, the dead died, and the imprisoned were imprisoned.

Now the rest of the people are even more begging for a living in the territory of the female lord, and they are sheltered by a small nobleman in the western realm who have never heard of it before, and this reality is probably difficult for them to accept.

In contrast, the Shuangxiu Sect is a sect after all, and it is easier for the Wei Ting family to accept it by taking refuge in the Shuangxiu Sect.

In addition, some people who asked for the healing of the Church also became faithful on Saturday after they recovered from their illnesses.

However, Ilea didn't think there was anything wrong with this situation, firstly, she always had unconditional trust in Li Yu, and secondly, she was the only lord who believed in the Shuangxiu Sect now. All the believers of the Shuangxiu Sect are basically her subjects.

But on this trip to the royal capital, with the addition of several other nobles, especially during this time, Wild and others asked her about Shuangxiu Sect and Li Yu more and more frequently.

Obviously a little tempted, I want to take refuge on Saturday.

And that's not surprising, given the miracles they've seen along the way, including the unheard-of ritual of summoning the Heroic Spirit that can bring the dead back to life.

The shock must have deeply impressed them, and it is reasonable to have such a thought.

Of course, except for the wandering knight Orwell, everyone else must be very cautious if they want to change their faith, after all, there are many involved.

They only have the intention of doing so now, and it is estimated that it will take some time for it to be implemented.

But the female lord also vaguely felt that one day in the future, the Shuangxiu Sect might no longer be the exclusive domain of Green Fields.

At that time, the order she issued may be even more difficult to enforce among the believers of the Shuangxiu Sect.

When this day comes, how should she deal with the relationship with Li Yu and the Shuangxiu Sect? Speaking of which, her father seems to have reminded her that she can't let theocracy blindly expand.

But Miss Rabbit only bothered about this for a while, and then left it behind, thinking to herself, ha, Merlin understands everything anyway, and it would be good to ask Merlin directly when the time comes.

Thinking of this, the female lord's mood suddenly became comfortable again, and she chatted with Li Yu about the things she encountered on the road again, and a wave of tiredness hit, and Miss Rabbit just reclined on the chair and fell asleep.

My ears twitch from time to time, and I don't know what I'm dreaming about.

Li Yu shook her head, stepped forward to gently cover her with a blanket, and when she got closer, she heard someone muttering in her dreams.

"Merlin is mine, no one is allowed to rob it, hum!"
