Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 220
The room in the tower was completely different from the few times Rhodes had been here before. Now the sewage was flowing across it, and there were excrement and vomit everywhere. He couldn't walk in it.

Although there are toilets in the fortress, they are not enough now. The few toilets he saw just now have even overflowed.

We have to find a way to improve the sanitary conditions, otherwise this plague will only get worse.

This is only the second day, and people may start dying in a few days, and the situation will be even worse. Desperation will make people do irrational things.

Standing at the door, he could already hear some soldiers inside complaining,
"Those noble lords must have given up on us, so they gathered us here to prevent us from leaving, and asked us to wait here to die. I never thought that I would have such a day."

"If I know who gave the order to isolate us alone, I will chop him into pieces."

"It must be the Duke who gave the order. The Duke will not do anything to abandon his subordinates. You should find the villain who bewitched him..."

Rhodes turned around and left after listening for a while. If you look at this approach objectively, there must be nothing wrong with this approach. At least it can control the epidemic and save some people who are not infected.

Even if the earth is an advanced civilization, if an epidemic occurs, the infected will be isolated from the outside world to prevent more people from being infected.

And if you are the one who is quarantined, you will not think this way in your heart. Even if some people have received higher education, after being infected with a disease like AIDS, they may take revenge on society and drag innocent people together. into the water.

Rhodes deliberately only wore a set of metal armor in order to visit here. After leaving the tower, he sterilized the entire armor with his hands burning with flames, so as not to infect others.

When he returned to the castle, the meeting inside was not over yet, and another nobleman reported where the walls of the fortress needed to be repaired, and where the bed crossbow was damaged.

Seeing this situation, Rhodes turned around and left the castle and rode back to the grocery store on a pack horse.

Gilbert was awake, walking up and down the yard, seemingly thinking.

"Have you researched it?" Rhodes asked.

"There are still some problems. I found that this medicine seems to be completely different from the alchemy potion I learned..." Gilbert reminded Rhodes halfway through.

Alchemy potions generally require magic flames to roast the materials, and then dissolve the materials into the solvent, which is quite different from traditional Chinese medicine.

"You try throwing the medicinal materials into the pottery pot to cook." Rhodes interrupted Gilbert, "Remember to add more water so as not to overcook the medicinal materials. Do you know which medicinal materials are used and what is their ratio?" ?”

Gilbert nodded, "I compared the effects of the materials, and researched what the alchemy materials used in the prescription were."

"Let's try it now, it may take a long time to boil the medicine." Rhodes urged.

Gilbert turned and walked into the room and took out a lot of medicinal materials.

"Is it really useful to handle materials like this?" Gilbert asked with some uncertainty.

"Try first and then talk." Rhodes replied.

The animal skin he gave to Gilbert contained several soup and powder recipes. Different soup recipes were chosen for different symptoms, and each soup recipe did not require many types of medicinal materials.

The most commonly used Lizhong Decoction for the treatment of cholera uses ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, licorice, and dried ginger. Among these four, Rhodes can distinguish ginseng and dried ginger, and the others are only seen in the ingredient lists of some Chinese patent medicines. , but have not seen the real thing.

Gilbert took a pot of clean water according to the instructions on the prescription, and then threw all the medicinal materials into the pot according to the ratio of water and medicinal materials.

"Is it really enough to cook like this?" Gilbert asked again with an uncertain expression.

"You still need to light the fire and cover the pot." Rhode replied after taking a look, "Pay attention to controlling the fire, neither too hot nor too small."

"Say it earlier, then I should cook it on the alchemy workbench." Gilbert just started a fire.

"It's still too late," Rhodes said.

Gilbert rolled his eyes, and then he moved the clay pot to the alchemy workbench.

"There should be a brewing time on the prescription, pay attention to watch the time." Rhodes said again.

"It seems to be there, but I don't understand, how long is an hour?" Gilbert asked.

"Two hours." Rhodes replied, "But it shouldn't be so precise, it's not like how you refine alchemy potions."

In ancient times, there were no precise timing tools, and the time for boiling medicine would be more or less biased.

"That's fine, I'll set the time and just leave it here." Gilbert pressed the button on the alchemy workbench.

Rhodes stared at the alchemy workbench in front of him for a long time. Could this be the magic version of the gas stove?Still able to time the kind.

"How much does it cost just to manufacture the heating function of your workbench?" Rhodes asked, he seemed to throw a few in the kitchen.

"Look at the type. I can input magic power to make it heat up automatically, and it can heat up while inputting magic power." Gilbert explained.

"I remember that your alchemy workbench didn't seem to have this function a few days ago?" Rhode asked. He suddenly remembered that Gilbert had to continuously input mana when refining potions a few days ago, instead of everything like now. If you don't do it, it will automatically breathe fire.

"I didn't have it a few days ago. I put some of the gemstones you gave me yesterday, so that there is a container for storing magic power." Gilbert replied.

After hearing this, Rhodes gave up the idea just now. It is too expensive to use gemstones as containers for storing magic power. It is acceptable if it is used as an experimental instrument. After all, there are many equipment worth tens of millions on the earth. .If it is used for daily use, it is really too extravagant. I still have to find a way to get some natural gas, which can be used to boil water for bathing and cook.

He feels that if Gilbert arrives in his future territory, he will definitely burn a lot of money, but if the research is useful, it is still worthwhile. Maybe he can come up with black technology such as magic cannons and magic tanks, no , Black Magic Products.

With these, it is possible to crush all the countries on the mainland, but it is definitely unrealistic to drive tanks purely with magic power. The level of magic power in this world is relatively low, so you can consider using a mixture of oil and magic.

Rhodes was a little bored waiting for the medicine to boil, so he ran to the courtyard to practice the chain legs he learned yesterday...
