Legends about a god who possesses knowledge from whom people can obtain any knowledge they want.
People say that this is a newly born god, a new god who holds all knowledge.
There are also rumors that this is a god created by the creator Yinsai, just like the King of Wisdom Lederiki and the Mother of Life Sally in myths and legends.
He is generous and merciful, willing to bestow upon mortals extraordinary talents and skills.
Leicester went to a noble banquet, and several nobles stood in the corner and exchanged this legend.
Because most of the characters involved in the legend have a certain status, and they are all elegant and knowledgeable people, they can be regarded as belonging to the aristocratic circle.
So the nobles were also keen to talk about such stories.
“Have you heard? The God of Knowledge.”
“As long as you pay the price, you can get any knowledge you want, a craftsman can create a magic weapon overnight, and a poor musician can suddenly play music like the sounds of nature.”
"real or fake?"
“Is that really a god?”
“Really, there is a person in our Cross City who has exchanged knowledge.”
“He is a painter from the south of the city. Originally, no one paid attention to his paintings, but suddenly he has the style of a royal painter, which is completely different from his previous paintings.”
This rumor says that everything is said, but in fact no one who talks about this legend has ever seen the so-called God of Knowledge.
Lester also regarded it as a strange story and did not take it seriously.
The banquet was very noisy, and everyone who came in would greet Lester, but Lester was not good at socializing and only answered stiffly.
He comes from a lower class background and does not have much in common with these people.
The banquet was not over yet, he stood up and walked outside.
“Mr. Leicester, you are leaving!” the attendant at the door asked him.
“I have some things to do, let’s leave first.” Lester nodded.
As soon as he got home, he went straight to his laboratory.
There are several of his apprentices taking care of the medical clinic. Unless there are more serious patients, Leicester is usually not too busy.
He put more attention on the laboratory and carried out his "universal elixir experiment" wholeheartedly.
Through experiments one after another, he also discovered the secret of the power of the life blood stone.
“The power of the Life Blood Stone can copy everything in a life.”
“It only needs a drop of blood as the source to copy a life from beginning to end.”
Leicester has tried this experiment many times.
He used this method to create many trilobites in his water tank.
From a bloodline perspective, they belong to the same animal.
As for why trilobites were used as experimental subjects, it may be due to the influence of the witch doctor’s sentence that trilobites are the ancestors of the trilobite people.
Leicester wrote his theory of a panacea on a scroll.
“The power of the blood-sucking worm should come from the life blood stone. Its function can only be converted into blood-sucking. It is an extraordinary life form created by the left-handed witch doctor using the life blood stone.”
“Theoretically, just record a person’s healthiest state.”
“Restore him to his healthiest state, and then all diseases can be eliminated.”
“that is.”
“The panacea.”
Put the scroll down.
Lester was a little irritable and kept scratching his head.
"but."
“How can we record a person’s theoretical healthiest state, and how can we make this state applicable to everyone?”
“Everyone’s body is slightly different, and men’s and women’s bodies are also different. How to solve this problem?”
The experiment had reached a point where it was no longer possible for a physician to continue.
He needs extraordinary strength.
Lester ghosts were bad, and suddenly thought of the rumor that he heard at the banquet.
The god named Knowledge can give everyone the memory and knowledge they want, allowing ordinary people to have talents beyond genius overnight, and turning stupid people into erudite scholars in an instant.
But as soon as he thought about it, Lester couldn't help but laugh.
“That’s just a rumor.”
“Are you serious about it?”
Lester would not believe in such nonsense as the emergence of new gods.
After closing the door to the laboratory, Lester returned home.
The wife was reading a book under the oil lamp, and when she heard Lester coming in, she looked at him.
"came back?"
Lester nodded.
His wife then asked him: "It's still not going well?"
Lester sighed: "How can it be so simple?"
His wife asked him curiously: "Lester, what exactly do you want to create?"
Lester wanted to say something. After all, it’s a bit uncomfortable to be alone doing experiments without anyone to talk to.
But things like the Life Blood Stone were of great concern and would cause big trouble if leaked out, so he held back in the end.
“A very important thing, I can only say it is something that can change the definition of medicine.”
His wife hugged him: "No matter what you want to do, I will support you."
Lester: “You just think I’m doing a good thing?”
The wife nodded: "Because I believe that the things you create will definitely relieve pain and bring happiness to everyone."
People are subject to misfortunes and fortunes, and the sky is unpredictable.
A plague came from the north, first appearing in some villages, and then spreading to major cities.
Cross City.
Of course it is no exception.
Just a few years after saying goodbye to the war, people ushered in another disaster, and this disaster was even more terrible than the war.
No one noticed the plague in the early stages because it only spread in some villages at first. Many places in this area were sparsely populated due to the war and have not recovered in the past few years.
Some people died of the disease, so no one paid attention to it.
Leicester Hospital was surrounded by a group of people and a patient was brought in.
After several doctors took a look at it, they immediately realized something was wrong.
The patient was obviously dying, but they had no idea what was causing the illness.
“Dr. Ledley!”
“Dr. Ledley!”
Lester came down from upstairs and came to the consulting room.
He looked into the man's eyes and listened to his heartbeat.
"quick!"
“Send it in!”
Lester’s wife was also his assistant. When she saw the patient in extreme pain, she immediately comforted the patient.
"do not be afraid."
“He is the divine hand Lester, he will definitely save you.”
However, as soon as the patient was pushed in, the patient suddenly convulsed violently.
at last.
He spat a mouthful of blood on Leicester's wife and died.
Lester lowered his hands and his pupils shrank together.
This is not the first time he has encountered this situation, but every time he encounters it, it is equally uncomfortable.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Others also stood by Leicester's side to pay their respects to the deceased.
However, what Leicester did not expect was that similar patients were sent to his clinic one after another.
He began to realize that this was not an exception.
“Is this... a plague?”
Lester immediately reported it to the city lord, but it was already too late.
A large number of such cases have begun to appear in Cross City, and more patients with unobvious symptoms are completely indistinguishable.
The city lord also felt scared, as the disease did not affect nobles or common people.
“Leicester!”
“You are the best doctor in the city, known as the divine hand.”
“Now we only have you to rely on.”
Lester said to the city lord: "Now we can only prepare quickly. I will also try my best to find the cause of the disease and then find a way to solve it."
Lester returned to the medical clinic, thinking about what he had learned: "What on earth is this disease?"
Lester began to dissect the patient's body, hoping to discover the origin of the disease.
He was horrified to find that every patient's internal organs were mutilated.
just like.
Being eaten by something.
No wonder those patients were in so much pain as to fall into purgatory when they died.
Following this, he removed a worm from the patient's body during an operation.
“Intestinal worms?”
Lester recognized this kind of thing immediately.
Because witch doctors have encountered this kind of thing and recorded it in books.
Witch doctors once encountered this disease that was transmitted through the reproduction of insects in a small town, and then saved the entire town.
Lester immediately became excited. Now that he knew what the disease was, there was a solution.
Wrong.
It shouldn't be said that he has a solution. Although he learned the surgical method from the witch doctors, it is still not possible for him to clean the bugs out of the patient's body through surgery like the witch doctors. This method is not suitable for him.
It's like magic.
Rather, he can turn to witch doctors to treat this disease. The witch doctors treated this disease with the corresponding powder they produced, so they must be able to reproduce it there.
Lester was thinking as he slowly finished the operation.
He put down the surgical tools and began to exit the room.
did not expect.
At this time, his wife beside him collapsed.
Lester immediately stepped forward to help her: "What's wrong?"
His wife shook her head and said to him.
"fine."
“I just feel a little uncomfortable, maybe I’m too tired.”
But Lester felt it was not that simple. His wife had been around him recently and had been in contact with patients, and he wondered whether she had also contracted the disease.
“You take a rest.”
“I’ll check it out for you later to make sure you don’t contract this disease too.”
Just as he expected.
Leicester's wife also fell ill and contracted the same disease.
In front of the bed, Lester was a little anxious.
His wife comforted him and said, "Lester, don't panic."
“I believe you will find a way.”
Lester nodded: "I have found a way. This is a disease caused by bugs, which witch doctors encountered many years ago."
“I will seek help from the witch doctors right now, and there will be a solution soon.”
"soon."
“All patients here will be treated, and so will you.”
Leicester quickly wrote a letter and gave it to his apprentice.
“To the witch doctor’s house.”
“Send this letter to the witch doctors.”
Leicester said with utmost seriousness: "The lives of the patients in the entire Cross City, no, all the people who are suffering from illness inside and outside the city, all depend on this letter."
“If you could arrive a day earlier, you could save a few more people.”
Apprentices embark on a long journey with missions and tasks.
But no matter how fast we go, it will still take more than half a month to go back and forth between Cross City and the Witch Doctor's House.
In the following days, the plague situation became more serious day by day.
Leicester was walking in the Cross City, and the city was already full of patients.
Every house has its doors closed tightly, people are in a hurry when walking outside, and everyone stays far away.
He also saw corpses piled up one after another on the car being sent out.
The cemetery outside the city has run out of space in the past few days, and a new cemetery is currently being built.
The patients in Leicester's hospital have already been overcrowded, and Leicester can only do his best to save their lives and delay as much as possible.
For a physician like him, there could be no more cruel and uncomfortable picture than this.
On the twentieth day, his wife gradually became thinner and her eyes became hollow.
The pain in bed is excruciating every day.
“Leicester…Leicester…”
She called her husband's name, as if she wanted him to save her.
Lester could do nothing but hold her hand.
At this moment, Lester had strong doubts about his medical skills.
I no longer have the slightest bit of self-confidence.
"Why."
“I have obviously tried my best, I have obviously learned the medical skills from the witch doctor, and I have also passed on my medical skills to the students.”
“Why, still nothing can be changed?”
Ordinary people are still so vulnerable in the face of disease and death.
At this moment, Lester finally felt the limitations of mortals.
As the tormenting days passed day by day, Leicester finally waited for his apprentice to return.
When the apprentice returned, he came back with three carriages pulled by the little stone demon. The carriages seemed to be full of things.
The apprentice told Leicester: "The witch doctor is currently conducting an experiment and there is no way to come."
“However, a witch doctor named Left Hand made a medicine that could cure this disease.
“He also told me that as long as I take this medicine once, I will not be infected with intestinal worms again.”
“The human body will directly kill this bug by itself.”
Lester breathed a sigh of relief and patted his apprentice on the shoulder.
“That’s it.”
“It’s already very good.”
“The whole Cross City will thank you, you saved everyone’s lives.”
But the apprentice said: "Teacher, you saved everyone."
Lester immediately arranged for someone to unload the medicine from the car.
Then arrange for people to start distributing medicines, set up stations at various medical clinics in the city, and start treating patients.
The crowds came in droves.
The medicine of the witch doctor is very effective and takes effect immediately after use.
Although the patient cannot be cured immediately, it can kill the bugs in their body immediately.
"Thank you."
“Thank you, you saved our lives.”
Countless patients in the city cried bitterly, holding Lester's hand and thanking him.
As patients were treated one after another, the city gradually returned to life.
Suddenly, Leicester's reputation reached its peak.
In this city.
He is like a saint.
When the patients in Cross City gradually stabilized, the apprentices and assistants of Leicester Medical Clinic began to lead people out of Cross City.
Bringing medicine to help more people who are suffering from the plague,
ˆ----------------------
At home in Leicester.
He looked at his wife on the hospital bed with a sad expression.
Although Leicester solved the plague, his wife was tortured by the disease and became inhuman.
Her body was severely damaged by the disease and she was left with only one breath left.
The failure of various organs in the body is a situation that cannot be solved by ordinary drugs or doctors.
“Hmm~”
My wife was lying on her side on the bed, humming weakly.
The pain was so tortured that she couldn't even speak, but her eyes looked at Lester as usual.
“I won’t let you leave me now?”
“This is my oath.”
Lester looked at his wife and said seriously.
Although he said this in his mouth, he was extremely anxious in his heart.
As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, his expression completely changed.
"That's too late."
He could not have time to send his wife to the witch doctor's house, and his wife could not bear the bumps of the journey.
He suddenly remembered the experiment he had been studying for many years, the life blood stone with magical power.
The panacea that I have high hopes for.
Only one key is missing.
He can realize his idea and save his wife at the same time.
South of the city.
Lester knocked on a door, and the door opened to reveal the scene inside. There were various stone carvings and many painted pottery panels inside.
And oil paintings on canvas have begun to appear in recent years, but this art has not yet been truly recognized by the upper class nobility.
This is a painter's home.
"Hello."
“I’m Lester.”
Lester introduced himself to the person who opened the door.
In fact, the painter immediately recognized Lester the moment he opened the door.
“Mr. Leicester, I don’t think there is anyone in this city who doesn’t know you.”
“Actually, my family survived this disaster and plague only because of your grace. I am very grateful to you.”
“I’ve always wanted to find a chance to thank you, but you haven’t been out recently.”
"It is said that."
“Your wife…”
The painter sighed and did not continue.
Lester also sighed: "This is what a doctor should do."
The painter looked at Lester: "You are a real physician, a great physician."
The two people sat down, and the painter said directly: "Mr. Leicester, I know what you want to do."
Lester was curious: “How do you know?”
Painter: "Many people have come to visit me, and you are not the first, nor the last."
“But those people, I will tell them that there is no such thing as illness.”
“But I will tell you the truth.”
Lester stood up excitedly: "So, is it true?"
The painter nodded: "It is true, but it is of little use to most people."
“The God of Knowledge will only respond to those who can pay the price, and the law he adheres to is exchange.”
“He gives you what you want, and you pay the price.”
“And most people cannot afford this price.”
The painter took Lester to another house and visited some of the painter's works.
Even Lester, who was not very artistic, recognized one of the paintings.
"This is……"
"It's the "Gateway of God in the Sky" that was lost in the City of Servants of God. This is a masterpiece of King Henir in his late period. I heard that King Henir liked it very much."
The painter nodded: "Although it is not the original work, I can tell you that what you see is exactly the same."
Lester asked: "How did you do that?"
The painter said seriously: "Because I inherited the skills of his original artist."
Having seen the artist’s paintings with his own eyes, Leicester no longer had any doubts.
“This is truly a great masterpiece.”
“It seems that this existence really has very powerful power.”
On the way home, Lester's heart was ready to move.
Things he didn't learn from the witch doctor for ten years may be easily acquired here.
But he was also a little frightened.
He didn’t know what price he had to pay. Facing such a powerful existence, a mortal like him was like an ant taking everything he wanted.
Although the painter told him that the spiritual world contract is a contract signed through the kingdom of God.
No one can violate the terms of the spiritual contract.
Go home.
Lester drew a spiritual contract formation on the ground according to the pattern given to him by the artist, and wrote a symbol representing a powerful and unknown existence in the center of the formation.
Then he wrote Leicester's own name on the other side of the symbol.
He knelt in front of the ritual circle and chanted the incantation.
“O great god of knowledge!”
"I call you through the rituals of the spiritual world and conclude a contract of equal trade with you."
“Please tell me, how can I create a real panacea?”
Suddenly, the magic array on the ground shone brightly.
His consciousness went blank.
He felt as if he had appeared thousands of feet high in the sky, then kept falling downwards, and finally fell into a completely unknown situation.
He saw a heavy door and a figure sitting above the door.
"interesting."
"very interesting."
“What do you want to do? Make a universal elixir?”
The figure stared at Lester, leaning forward slightly, as if he was observing Lester's secrets.
“You are actually a student of that group of witch doctors, which is interesting, very interesting.
That figure seemed to have seen everything about Leicester at a glance.
Lester looked up at the door, his eyes moved up little by little, and finally stopped at the light figure.
“Are you the God of Knowledge?”
The figure grinned and said, "Yes, I am the god you requested."
“I have mastered all the knowledge that has appeared in this world. As long as it exists, you can get it from me.”
Lester said to the figure: "I want a way to make a panacea."
The figure said to Lester: "I can't give you the method of making the so-called universal elixir, because there is no real universal elixir in this world yet."
“But I can open my treasure house of knowledge, and you can search for the knowledge you want.”
The figure floated down from above and opened the door behind him.
“Go!”
“Go and ask for everything you want.”
Lester asked him: "What price do I have to pay to make this transaction?"
The figure told him: "All the knowledge you gained from the witch doctor, as well as your research on the life blood stone and the universal elixir, all belong to me."
Lester thinks there is nothing wrong with this deal: "Okay, I promise you."
I just finished speaking.
Lester was sucked into the door in an instant.
Behind him, the light figure was still smiling.
"finally."
“Finally, an interesting person has arrived.”
When you wake up again, it is already reality.
Leicester was still kneeling where he was, in his own house.
“I’m back?” Lester looked at his hands in disbelief.
“So it’s true?” He stood up and walked around the room excitedly.
“You can actually get what you want by trading.”
Everything that just happened was like a dream.
But everything Lester got in his mind told him that what just happened was real.
Lester gained knowledge that he had never imagined before, about magic and monsters.
The "God of Knowledge" is really unimaginably generous. Even some third-level curse seal priests may not necessarily have this knowledge, but at this moment, Lester, an ordinary person, has such powerful knowledge.
The price is Leicester's research on the panacea and the life blood stone.
Exchanging knowledge for knowledge is very fair.
He does not feel that his own knowledge is necessarily nobler than that of others.
Lester rushed into his laboratory, and this time he felt his inspiration bursting out.
