The Last Alchemist

On the muddy road, the bandit with a broken leg and the woman with ulcers all over her body fought desperately. One wanted to escape, while the other tried desperately to pounce on the other to pass on the disease.

For a moment, Annie was at a loss. At this moment, Rosen's voice suddenly came to her ears: "Hey~ woman, I'm an alchemist, maybe I can cure your disease."

Annie turned her head and saw Rosen walking towards her from the bushes.

Rosen's words actually worked. The crazy woman stopped moving abruptly. On her face full of pus, a single eye stared at Rosen tightly: "Really?"

As soon as she stopped moving, the bandit was immediately pardoned. He didn't care about the injury on his right leg and ran away in the mud.

Rosen didn't care about the frightened bandit. Bandits were most afraid of getting sick, because no one would be willing to treat them after they got sick, and they would be abandoned by healthy companions, so they would never dare to go to that village again, let alone come back to cause trouble.

As soon as the robber ran away, the woman's breath that she had been holding on to immediately collapsed. Her whole body went limp, and she didn't care about the muddy water on the road. She just lay down on the ground, gasping for air.

The places where she was hit by the stick gradually became bruised, and the muscles next to the wound trembled slightly unconsciously. When the woman lay down, she also deliberately avoided the injured part.

These subtle symptoms all show that the woman's body actually has a sense of pain. Her previous crazy behavior was probably because she was determined to die with the other party.

Rosen approached the woman lying on the muddy road and stopped only when he was 1 meter away from her.

Because he was too close, Annie followed him worriedly, keeping her eyes on the woman to prevent her from suddenly attacking.

At this distance, Rosen could see the woman's appearance very clearly. She looked very young, less than 30 years old, but because of the disease, her facial features were completely deformed and twisted. Her left eye was rotten, and the intact right cornea was also severely congested. Her nose was also rotten, and her nose became a bloody hole. There were serious abscesses everywhere in places that could not be covered by ragged clothes, and there was black rotten meat next to the abscesses. Because they were getting closer, the smell of rotten meat in the air became stronger and stronger, making people want to vomit.

It was hard to imagine that a person could still be alive with such a damaged body.

'What kind of disease could damage a person to this extent? ' Rosen was very surprised.

To determine the cause of the disease, it was far from enough to observe the surface with the naked eye. Rosen calmed down again, activated the alchemy talent, and carefully sensed the abscesses on the surface of the woman's body.

The second-level element friend talent greatly improved Rosen's element perception ability. When he calmed down, he clearly felt that the body fluids overflowing from the other party's abscess contained a large number of strange objects that ordinary people did not have.

'Alive, always moving, very large, several orders of magnitude larger than chemical molecules, probably micrometers. There are several types, some of which are thin and long, spirally rolled up, like metal shavings. Some are round and look like a bunch of grapes, and there are so many of them. This body size is larger than viruses and smaller than eukaryotic microorganisms. It should be bacteria. This woman has a serious bacterial infection, but it is not clear what specific bacteria caused it. '

There is no way, Rosen has never studied medicine, he only knows some general medical knowledge. Besides, this is a different world, and the diseases on Earth may not be the same.

'Maybe my element manipulation can kill the bacteria. ' Rosen began to try to kill these bacteria.

As for the bacteria in the pus on the surface of the body, Rosen focused his mind slightly, and the alchemical power could squeeze out a large number of bacteria and kill them easily. However, when Rosen tried to extend his thinking into the internal tissues of the woman's body, he encountered a very strong resistance. His alchemical power seemed to hit a huge net. No matter how hard he tried, he could not make any progress.

In this way, let alone killing the bacteria in the woman's body, he could not even sense the situation inside the other party's body.

He tried five times in a row, but each time ended in failure, and there was no hope of a breakthrough, so Rosen had to give up.

'This barrier should be the self-protection mechanism of the living body. The higher the level of life, the stronger the barrier. This is also reflected in the game. For any magician, it is a huge challenge to directly use magic power to control living people. However, in this case, I can only rely on the power of medicine to kill the bacteria in this woman's body. '

On Earth, the best way to fight bacteria is to use antibiotics. Among all antibiotics, the most famous one is penicillin. The emergence of antibiotics, starting with penicillin, has increased the average life expectancy of humans by nearly 30 years, making it the first miracle drug in human history!

The question now is whether antibiotics are also effective in other worlds.

Anne, who was standing by, saw that Rosen had come back to his senses, so she asked, "How is it, can it be cured?"

Rosen did not comment: "I have seen this kind of disease in a book, so I have some ideas, but how to do it specifically still requires some experiments."

The woman on the ground had been paying attention to Rosen's reaction. When she heard him say this, her red eye suddenly lit up: "Merciful and noble

Sir, please save my daughter! I am already like this, it doesn't matter whether I can be cured or not, but my daughter is only 7 years old~ Wuwuwu~ She shouldn't suffer such a bad fate, Wu Woohoo~ Sir, please save her!"

The woman cried, crying miserably.

Anne was sympathetic, but she still had some doubts, so she asked: "Since you still have a daughter to take care of, why were you so desperate just now?"

The woman's face was full of misery: "I don't really want to die, but you have also seen that I have been tortured by the disease and I can't live much longer. The village elders promised me that as long as I drive away the bandits, they will try their best to save me." My daughter, that’s why I...I’m woohoo~"

Anne asked again: "What about your husband?"

"A few days ago, my daughter was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore. He ran away secretly and said he was looking for food, but he never came back. Like me, he was very sick. He must have died. I'm soooo~ I really can’t bear to leave my daughter, but I can’t help it, I really can’t help it~ Wuwu~”

Anne was filled with pity and her eyes were red. She turned to look at Rosen: "How about Rosen?"

Of course Rosen understood what Anne meant. Even though Anne was tall and powerful, this girl actually had the softest heart. He himself wanted to help, but treating diseases was not his specialty, so he didn't dare Convinced, he pondered for a moment and said, "I have a solution, but it needs to be verified experimentally. This will not only take time, but also some alchemy equipment. I don't know if it will be too late?"

The woman heard it and immediately said: "A year ago, a magician came to the village. He also said he would help us treat diseases, and he has been doing the experiments you mentioned."

"Oh, there are actually colleagues? This is great!" Rosen was overjoyed. Magicians can be said to be scholars from another world. Compared with ordinary people, their knowledge and vision are much broader. In addition, they have already studied diseases. After more than a year, I must have accumulated a lot of information related to diseases. If the other party is willing to share this information, it can greatly save Rosen's time.

After thinking about it, Rosen said, "I want to go to your village. Can you lead the way?"

"Of course no problem!"

The woman struggled to get up from the ground, ignoring the crossbow arrows stuck in her legs, and limped towards the way she came.

Rosen saw it and shouted, "Wait a moment."

The woman stopped immediately.

Rosen tore a piece of clean cotton from his underwear, and used alchemical power to kill all the microorganisms on the cotton. Then he walked to the woman, ignored the strong rancid smell, held the crossbow arrow, and pulled out the crossbow arrow with one force, and then Quickly wrap the wound tightly with cotton strips to stop bleeding.

He moved so quickly that Annie had no time to stop him. By the time he was wrapped up, there was already a lot of pus and blood on the back of Rosen's hand.

He didn't care. He walked to the puddle on the dirt road and washed the pus and blood with muddy water.

The woman was stunned. After a while, tears flowed from her one eye: "Sir, you, I, you are truly the most kind and kind person in the world."

When everyone saw her like this, they stayed away from her. Only this young man looked at her without any fear or disgust in his eyes. He actually bandaged her wounds with his own hands and helped her treat her illness. How could she meet such a good person? Could it be that God has forgiven her? Crime, so this boy was sent to save her?

Annie didn't think so. She walked quickly to Rosen and complained in a low voice: "The robber said that this disease is contagious, why are you so reckless!"

Rosen smiled slightly: "It is contagious, but it is ineffective on me. Because I can expel it."

After washing his hands, Rosen stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."
