"If the Earl has just contracted the disease, although I cannot cure the plague, there are several ways for the Earl to eliminate the plague himself, which can be considered a cure. But now that the Earl's body has been too deeply infected by the plague, it is necessary to
Some extraordinary measures were adopted to detoxify and recuperate the body at the same time, so as to prevent the count from being unable to withstand the violent reaction of detoxification and causing an accident."
Upon hearing this, Butler Tang En immediately responded resolutely:
"Please rest assured, no matter what your request is, as long as my master can be cured, the Burns family can agree to it."
John was waiting for his words. In fact, saving the earl was not a simple problem, but it was not difficult for him. After all, he was a man who was cared for by the father of nature in this world. He only needed a few cleansing and poison-avoiding spells to create it.
Holy water can save the count's life and at least get rid of most of the plague virus.
But his mission in this world is not to cure diseases and save people, but to trace the source of the plague. Curing him all at once would not show his importance, but also might scare some people away, making it impossible to elicit the truth behind it.
Black hand.
It is undoubtedly an approach that is not worth the gain. You must know that his mission can trace the source of the plague.
So John solemnly said to the steward:
"Please give me a piece of white paper and a cup of clean water first, and then prepare water and a face towel to scrub the count. I will stabilize the count's condition first, and then we will discuss the treatment plan!"
Butler Tang En quickly shook the rope beside the bed and vaguely heard the ringing sound coming from outside. This was the original telephone used in noble houses to summon servants.
After a few breaths, two male servants and a maid came over. After giving the instructions, in just three minutes, everything including white paper and water were ready, and there was also a maid carrying a copper basin with water and a face towel.
Stand by.
John took the silver cup and white paper from the footman.
Although there is papermaking technology in this world, due to the complexity of the technique, the success rate of producing white paper is also low, so a piece of good white paper is even more expensive than a dozen parchment papers, and only nobles and squires like the Earl and Swick can
Only the class has the means and capital to buy blank paper.
Of course, John could also use ordinary straw paper or parchment to cast spells, but how would that make his secret healing skills appear superior?
As John used the purifying and poison-avoiding technique again, the act of communicating the will of nature went smoothly. In the surprised eyes of several onlookers, the white paper stained by the Earl's skin in his left hand turned into black and green, and the clear water in the silver cup in his right hand turned into
The sparkling crystal liquid is like the holy water legendary in the church.
Yes, it is the legendary holy water, because although this world has a religion similar to the Church of Light, it has never shown any miracles in the past thousands of years except at the beginning of its establishment. So let’s not mention the holy water made by priests. More is
Ordinary plain water with soothing properties.
However, there are many folk legends about wizards, ghosts and other supernatural things.
Butler Tang En was obviously one of the people who knew the inside story. His eyes changed from surprise to appreciation to joy when he saw John.
John signaled the butler to order the maid to drink the glass of holy water for the earl.
After taking the first sip of the holy water, the earl reacted immediately. After a violent cough, the unconscious earl suddenly opened his eyes and vomited a mouthful of dirty green phlegm.
"Owner!"
Amid the butler's exclamations, the maid quickly scrubbed away the dirt and then fed the earl the remaining magical holy water.
The Earl, who had just woken up and was a little confused, obviously knew that this was a treatment for him. Except for a strange young man, the others present were all his most trusted servants, so he swallowed all the holy water in the cup without asking any questions.
Then there was a gurgling sound, and then the count vomited a lot of weird-colored vomit. When the count calmed down, he couldn't get rid of this gorgeous velvet quilt, which was enough for ordinary people to eat for several years.
Tang En quickly ordered the two male servants to bring another quilt.
The earl had been in a coma for too long. Although his body felt a lot more relaxed after the treatment just now, he didn't have much strength to speak, so he forced himself to give an order:
"Don En!"
"I'm here, Master!"
"I feel a lot more relaxed and I fully cooperate with the doctor's treatment..."
Before he finished speaking, the count snored softly and fell into a deep sleep.
Tang En cried with joy and wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.
Then he saluted John solemnly.
"Thank you, Doctor Swick, for saving the master's life and also saving Tang En's life!"
John waved his hands slightly tiredly and said:
"Steward Tang En, you have also seen that Lord Earl's illness is not caused by ordinary diseases, so extraordinary means must be used to treat it. What I just used is the secret technique passed down by the Swick family a hundred years ago, combined with
Teacher William’s teachings and the treatment methods I have invented through my own exploration in the past few years, but the current effect is not strong enough. It can only temporarily alleviate the count’s condition and ensure that it will not worsen within a few days. If I want further treatment, I still
More extraordinary secret knowledge is needed.”
Faced with John's nonsense, Tang En hesitated a little, but still nodded firmly.
"I understand, Mr. Swick, please follow me."
When John heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy, and confirmed his guess. The Burns family really had extraordinary secrets, and it was not in vain for him to put in the effort to perform this scene.
It took the two of them more than ten minutes to walk through the long corridor before arriving at the room on the lower floor of the top floor of the castle tower. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Mr. Butler was old and slow in his movements, and John came out in order not to show a sense of urgency.
Because of the drama, I could only follow the butler with a calm expression.
"This is the book collection of the great Burns family for three hundred years. Apart from the royal family, there are probably only a few marquis and dukes whose backgrounds can be compared."
Tang En said such proud things in a calm tone.
The thick camphor wood carries an old woody fragrance. When you open it, you will find a large library inside.
The bookshelves, all made of materials similar to camphor wood, are as long as four walls, and half of the bookshelves are filled with various books.
This is already very rare. In the late Middle Ages when this kind of civilization was not yet developed, the price of books could be compared with the same weight of silver. Being able to collect so many books was something that only the great nobles could accumulate for generations.
Degree.
But Butler Tang En wanted to take John here, so he took out a bunch of keys strung with copper rings, found the smallest bronze key, only three inches long, and faced it against the wall of the library.
A small hole is inserted into the bottom of the angel statue.
With the sound of a creaking machine turning, the library that originally had four walls actually had a hand-width protruding from the middle of one wall of bookshelves.
"This is the secret room where our Burns family has collected precious secret books for generations!"
When John heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that the door to the extraordinary secrets of this world had been opened to him.
Tang En entrusted him with a serious face:
"Even the little master who is studying in the royal capital is not qualified to enter now. She can only get a glimpse of it on the day of her coming of age ceremony. Now I will hand over the biggest secret of the Burns family to you, Doctor Swick, please be sure to save the master.
s life!"
Listening to the sense of entrustment in Butler Tang En's words, John, who was born into a noble family, also knew the importance of this situation.
So he returned the favor with great solemnity.
"Please rest assured, I swear by the honor of the ancestors of the Swick family that I will strictly keep the secret and will not leak any information in this secret room until the day I leave this world!"
Although he swore in the name of Swick, John would keep his word, but after leaving this world, it would be unnecessary.
Butler Tang En did not know John's true identity, so he was naturally relieved. After all, for the nobles of this world, the honor of their ancestors should not be stained. This was already an extremely serious oath.
