Chapter 432 Origin and original strain

"Poison School? Doctor Taylor, do you know anything about the mastermind behind the creation of this super fungus?"

Ai Wen did not expect that he was just planning to invite the other party to help solve the large-scale treatment problem of patients, but he actually got unexpected gains.

This medical doctor seemed to know the person or group of dark wizards who he suspected had mastered the technology of transforming germs.

At this time, after placing the patient who had just completed the operation, several people had already found a place to sit down.

Dr. Taylor had been holding the laboratory report tightly in his hand. When he looked at Ivan, his frowning face contained an apology:

"Understood? It should be said that I am very familiar with it.

Although this incident is a scar that will never heal on the Vesalius School, there is nothing to hide from you.

Because some of the original founders of the ‘Poison Epidemic School’ were originally senior members of our Vesalius School!

But in the end, they chose to part ways with our ideals and degenerated into a group of unscrupulous dark wizards."

From Ivan's description just now, Taylor already knows what kind of big things his original companions have done around the Golden Sea.

Maybe it will be a super catastrophic event sweeping the entire New World, even more serious than the casualties caused by wars between countries.

Although that group of people no longer has anything to do with him, as a doctor, seeing his once like-minded companions completely degenerate into moral, ethical and even antithetical aspects of the human species, he couldn't help but feel a bit of unspeakable sadness.

"this..."

Hearing this, Ai Wen and others looked at each other. They did not expect that this highly skilled medical doctor had such a connection with the group of germ spreaders.

However, judging from how he treated the son of a mere slave and how frank he was with himself and others, Dr. Taylor is at least a good man with high medical ethics and compassion.

Because there is no need to disguise this kind of thing, and there is no need to even tell Alvin and the others about the origin between the two.

Therefore, even after knowing the relationship between the two, Alvin and the others' attitude towards this doctor did not change badly.

Especially Apsuya, who was concerned about the safety of her people, was the first to ask the middle-aged man uncontrollably:

"Dr. Taylor, since one is harming others and the other is saving others, you must be very familiar with their methods. Can you help us develop special drugs that can treat ordinary people on a large scale?"

Dr. Taylor smiled slightly:

"You think too highly of us when you say that.

Think about it, if the 'Vesalius School' is really very restrained against the 'Poisonous Epidemic School', after gaining stronger power, we will be the first ones they want to kill!"

"Let me explain to you, and you will know the past relationship and current status between our 'Vesalius School' and the 'Poison School'.

Although on the surface it looks like a spear and a shield, one is good at attacking and the other should be good at defending, but in fact the relationship between us is very complicated, far from that simple."

In Dr. Taylor's narration, Alvin and the others quickly gained a certain understanding of these two schools, which were small in size and had a short history.

The "Vesalian School" is located in the "Duchy of Telamo", a small country in the southern part of the Old World adjacent to the Treasure Sea. The "Silver Ring Hospital" with both treatment and teaching functions is the school's headquarters.

The basic knowledge of the school comes from three aspects: [Potion Science], [Human Anatomy] and [Introduction to Pathogens].

As a new school with little accumulation, the first two come from alchemists and necromancers respectively. Only [Introduction to Pathogens] is unique to the school.

According to the theory of the Vesalian School, the most important external factors that currently make humans sick are various pathogens: fungi, bacteria, viruses between living things and non-living things...

As for the bacteria that have just been discovered among ordinary mortals, they have also verified one step ahead that the various bacteria in the human body can weigh up to three kilograms in total, and they are all objects that wizards of this school can use.

Of course, this kind of dangerous thing can save countless lives if used for good, but it can cause endless poison if used for bad.

The school was founded two hundred years ago by Dr. Andrea Vesalius, the founder of modern anatomy, and was mainly composed of a group of doctors who pursued medical truth.

The book "The Structure of the Human Body" written by Dr. Vesalius marked the qualitative change of mankind from empirical medicine to experimental medicine. He himself was an epoch-making great medical scientist.

Therefore, the school was also named [School of Vesalius].

According to the practice of the school of witchcraft, no matter how high or low the limit is, a final creation or extreme knowledge will be preset as the ultimate goal for the members of the school to strive for.

Then, we work backwards from the "source" to further create original witchcraft, systematic advanced rituals and even runic systems, etc.

Continuously attract outstanding talents in similar research directions, gather everyone's strength to continuously improve the corresponding knowledge system, and finally realize the great cause of materializing the "mysterious source".

Based on the simple concept of treating diseases and saving lives, this group of doctors set a very ambitious goal, which is to realize the legendary "panacea" that can cure all diseases!

but.

Although it has ambitious goals and is known as a school, in the first hundred years, it has always existed in the form of a loose secret society.

It's not much different from a group of wild wizards who join a group to keep warm.

In fact, witchcraft itself is just a means for them to explore medical truth, and most people have no desire to pursue power.

And because it is only spread within a small range of specific professions, the establishment of the school's unique witchcraft system is also very slow.

What's more, because under the leadership of the leader of the school, Andrea Vesalius, they often collectively steal corpses for research, they are wanted by the church and often hide in Tibet.

Not long after, even the chief doctor, Andrea Vesalius, was hunted down by the church for insisting on his own ideas, and the school suffered a heavy blow.

Until a hundred years ago, Dr. William Osler, an equally talented doctor, obtained another part of the inheritance of the "Necromancy School" [Suture].

Relying on very similar path characteristics and intelligence, he completed part of the basic knowledge of the Vesalian School, and established the "Silver Ring Hospital" to widely absorb talents, and the school finally ushered in a vigorous development.

When talking about this, Dr. Taylor specifically emphasized the ideas of the Vesalian School to Alvin and others:

"Chief Osler is a person we all admire very much. He has lofty ideals.

The motto that is often talked about is: Doctors should not compete or make noise. Their bounden duty is to care for the injured, save the poor, and cure diseases. The best doctor is also the least known doctor.

This motto is also the common pursuit of all members of our school."

However, under the admiring gazes of Ivan and others, Taylor changed the subject:

"But because of his efforts, a group of formal wizards emerged in the school like a spurt, including me who was also a direct beneficiary of this knowledge.

However, higher power does not bring about the prosperity of the school as imagined, but allows some members to finally see the benefits of formal level wizard power.

Then he violated his original intention of saving lives and healing the wounded, and instead began to pursue the so-called power!"

The middle-aged man looked up at Alvin and his party, with a little self-deprecation on his face:

"Can you imagine how easy it is for a doctor who knows the human body very well to kill an ordinary person?

Cerebral blood vessel rupture, blood clots, pulmonary embolism, heart paralysis... are just trivial matters with a tick of a finger.

They originally dealt with death as ordinary humans, but after they suddenly gained this power, many people were lost, well, many people..."

Several people said nothing and listened quietly to him describing the subsequent turning point of the Vesalian school.

"Then..."

With the continuous development of the New World and the strict control of the church, many dark wizards who could not stay in the Old World flocked to this golden land where "magic elements" were active.

The radical elements of the Vesalian school soon made peace with the bloody dark wizards.

Then, I didn't know which dark wizard organization got some weird knowledge inheritance, and gained weird powers that were similar to those of the school.

It even completely split the Vesalian school, and after absorbing some other dark wizards, established a new dark wizard school "Poison School" with the support of the black wizard organization in the Cabral region in the southern part of the New World.

There is also a terrifying and mysterious source that is completely opposite to the "Planacea" - the "Plague Tree", which is the ultimate evolutionary form of the combination of all pathogens in the world.

"So, although I can use the knowledge of 'pathogens' that have the same origin as the other party, I can find a way to kill this disease-causing fungus.

As a doctor, I am also willing to do my duty and undo the mistakes made by those bastards.

But the premise is that the original strain of this bacteria needs to be obtained, and then it is possible to find the corresponding drug."

Dr. Taylor readily agreed to help, but also explained the limits of his abilities and put forward his own requirements.

At least not the version of the fungus that has been modified by magic. Just like a protein that has been completely denatured cannot be reversed back, the same is true for the fungus that has been modified by magic.

After hearing his words, several people were happy at first, and then frowned.

Even with the seabird reconnaissance network, we only saw dark clouds falling to the ground a few times in a week, but we never found the shadows of the dark wizards behind the scenes.

Not to mention the original strain that is unknown where it is hidden.

However, Dr. Taylor also gave them good news after reading the experimental records.

The fatality rate of [Super Cyst Fungus] should be the same as the [Parasite Spore] in Ivan's hands, decreasing as the generations of the pathogen extend.

At least there is no need to worry, the germs that have spread now will turn the entire continent into a dead zone.

However, a large number of casualties must have occurred during this period, but they simply could not afford to wait.

"I have a broad-spectrum antibacterial prescription here, including hibiscus bark, agastache, tiger ginger, Vallisneria root, Sichuan peppercorns... all are herbal decoctions that ordinary people can obtain and prepare normally.

Although it cannot kill germs in a targeted manner, it can buy more time for patients so that they can persist until the moment targeted drugs are born."

Dr. Taylor took out a pen and paper and wrote a prescription. He thought about it and finally wrote a few names and a general description of his appearance and abilities.

Then he handed it to Alvin, which was obviously the limit of what he could do under the current circumstances.

"Okay, thank you Dr. Taylor for your help. You can just wait for us in Falatis' colony. We will trouble you again when we get the original strain."

Through what Taylor said just now, Alvin has understood that this wizard, who is a doctor by profession, really does not have much fighting power.

Rather than carrying this burden, it would be better to just work with a few people, and the same goes for bringing the strains back.
