The Last Alchemist

Rosen remembered that the penicillin skin test usually takes 20 minutes.

The annoying thing is that he didn't have an accurate timing tool, so 20 minutes was just a rough estimate.

Time passed by in a state of anxiety.

From time to time, Rosen would observe the skin condition of Mary and Alice's arms.

As time passed, the red spots on Alice's skin were the first to subside, leaving only an inconspicuous red dot. After about a few minutes, Mary's arm also recovered.

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief: "No allergy, thank God!"

In this case, things will be easy.

Rosen continued: "Now let's start the second round of treatment."

He picked up the No. 1 needle and walked to Mary, saying: "This time, the injection of the buttocks will be more painful, bear with it."

"What is the buttocks?" Mary asked timidly.

"It's the buttocks." Rosen sweated slightly.

"Oh." Mary lifted her cloak as she was told. If it was before, she would still be a little shy, but now, she didn't care about anything. Besides, in her eyes, Rosen was just a teenager, which greatly reduced her resistance.

Buttocks intramuscular injection, for those who experience it for the first time, the taste is quite sour.

When the cold metal needle pierced Mary's muscle, Mary couldn't help but scream "Ah~" and her whole body was trembling. Little Alice, who was standing next to her, saw her mother in such pain and was scared to cry again.

At this time, Rosen was not a big brother in her eyes, but a big devil.

Soon, the "big devil" came towards her with a shiny needle in his hand. Little Alice cried "Wow wow wow", crying and using her hands and feet to try to escape.

Rosen immediately shouted: "Sister Mary, grab her, hold her tightly, only in this way can the medicine be delivered to the body as quickly as possible!"

Mary had never seen Rosen's treatment method like this, but she had a deep respect for Rosen. After hesitating for a moment, she still stepped forward and helped Rosen grab her daughter.

'Puff~'

The metal needle successfully pierced into Alice's buttocks. Alice's body trembled violently, and then she cried loudly.

After the piercing, Rosen put away the needle and began routine disinfection: "I will stay here for the next hour. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately."

Because it was the first time to use the medicine, he used the most conservative dose, and he had undergone a skin test before. It should not be a problem, but everything is just a precaution.

Next, Rosen sat motionless on the side. From time to time, he would pick up the needle and draw a little blood from the two women's blood vessels, carefully analyzing the concentration changes of penicillin and the survival of Treponema pallidum.

According to the analysis results, Rosen adjusted the dose of penicillin little by little. At the same time, he made detailed experimental records very rigorously and objectively.

This resulted in an average of Mary and little Alice getting an injection every half an hour.

Mary and little Alice snuggled together, and they were also uneasy. Once they were injected, Mary was fine, but little Alice would cry until she was dizzy and would not stop for a long time.

The "inhumane" experiment continued.

During the waiting period, Rosen was not idle. He took out the parchment and wrote and drew. This was prepared for Savvy. He took 1,000 ronds from others, so he couldn't default on the debt.

While writing, Rosen suddenly heard the sobbing voice of little Alice in his ear: "Brother, are you writing?"

Rosen turned his head and saw little Alice curled up in the arms of big sister Mary, with dried tears all over her face, but a pair of big eyes curiously staring at the parchment in Rosen's hand.

Sister Mary hurriedly apologized: "My Lord, did I bother you?"

After that, she sternly said to her daughter: "Alice, don't talk when the Lord is busy, understand?"

"Oh~" Little Alice lowered her head and said nothing.

'This poor little~' Rosen's heart softened, and he said to Mary: "It's okay."

As he said that, he took out another blank parchment, wrote the name 'Alice' on it, and read: "Little guy, look, this is the imperial writing of 'Alice'."

"Alice~My name?" Alice wiped her tears, and her eyes became more curious.

"Yes, read with me, Alice."

"Alice~" Little Alice read very standardly.

Rosen wrote some commonly used imperial characters, about forty or fifty, and taught Alice one by one. What surprised him was that little Alice had a very good talent for language. As long as she read a word a few times, she could read it very standardly.

After Rosen finished teaching, he tested her again out of curiosity.

As a result, Alice could read at least 70% accurately. For the rest, even if she didn't read it correctly at first, she could remember it as long as Rosen reminded her.

This is almost a photographic memory.

"Very good, very good. Little guy, take this parchment and remember every word on it carefully. I will check it later. If you read it correctly, I will give you a reward."

"Okay." Little Alice took the parchment carefully. Although she was young, she already knew that parchment was very expensive. In the village, the grandson of the elder once stole the elder's parchment to play with. After being caught, he was beaten by the elder until his whole body was covered in blood.

In the following time, little Alice began to concentrate on reciting the imperial texts of the Rosen Religion. Perhaps because she had sustenance in her heart, she actually stopped crying when she was given the injection again.

After about three hours passed like this, Mary suddenly touched her body and said curiously: "Eh~ It's strange. I don't seem to feel so uncomfortable anymore."

"Huh?" Rosen was a little surprised. When he used penicillin for the first time, the bacteria were not resistant, so he knew that penicillin was very effective, but Treponema pallidum was not something to be trifled with, and obvious effects appeared in less than 4 hours. , seems a bit exaggerated.

Immediately afterwards, little Alice also shouted in surprise: "Mom, brother, the red spots on my body have also become lighter, you see."

Rosen looked over and found that the color of the rash on little Alice's hand seemed to have really faded a little, and the area had shrunk slightly, but the change was not obvious. It was difficult to spot without looking carefully, but Rosen had detailed experiments on hand. Record, which also records the specific size of the rash.

He opened the parchment and found the corresponding data. After comparing it before and after, he confirmed that the rash had indeed shrunk.

Is the effect of penicillin too strong?

Rosen was puzzled by the explanation. Unfortunately, his alchemical power could not directly penetrate into the human body for examination. After thinking about it, he could only explain it to the fact that people from other worlds have good physiques and amazing recovery abilities.

Finally, he declared: "It's definitely getting better."

Mary and little Alice were immediately ecstatic. Mary hugged her daughter and burst into tears, her tears flowing down uncontrollably.

After crying for a while, Mary knelt on the ground and began to kowtow to Rosen, thanking him incoherently: "Sir, you are the most merciful and wisest alchemist. You must be the messenger of God. God has really forgiven me! May God bless you! You saved my life and that of my daughter. From today on, we are willing to do anything for you.”

Rosen was also very pleased, but he was still startled by Mary's excitement. He hurriedly helped Mary up: "Don't be in a hurry to thank her, the treatment has not been completed yet. Hmm~ It's probably dawn outside. I'll go buy some food and come back." ”

He was in a good mood and gently touched little Alice's head: "Whatever you want to eat, tell your brother and he will buy it."

Little Alice glanced at Mary, who smiled and nodded. She immediately said happily: "Brother, I want to eat grilled fish!"

"Okay, let's grill the fish."

Although he had been busy all night, Rosen was extremely energetic and did not feel tired at all. When he walked, he felt his footsteps were extremely brisk. After leaving the wine cellar and arriving in the yard, he finally couldn't contain the joy in his heart and looked up to the sky and laughed.

'Successfully synthesized penicillin and saved two people. I also got the specific usage of penicillin. I can save countless people in the future, hahaha~'

‘Dias Romley, come on, just come and complain to the Baron, hey, I promise you will die without a burial! ’

‘Annie, I succeeded, haha, you will be surprised when you know it. ’

After a while, Rosen calmed down his excitement. He carefully collected the experimental data before turning around and leaving the yard.

There was no ready-made grilled fish for sale in the small restaurant, so Rosen went to the pier and bought a few fresh fish with less spines and more meat. He then took them to a small restaurant near the yard to grill them. He also bought some delicious side dishes and took them with him. With a small barrel of newly brewed ale, he returned to the yard.

When they arrived at the wine cellar, little Alice cheered and jumped up happily when she saw the grilled fish.

Rosen took the opportunity to check the effect of the potion for the two women. After confirming that there was no problem, he poured three glasses of ale, set out the side dishes, and said with a smile: "Come on, let's all have a drink to celebrate this success. Hmm~ Little Alice , you are the smallest, drink the smallest cup.”

Mary picked up the wine glass and said seriously: "My lord, Mary is just a peasant woman. She is illiterate and has never seen the world. But I want to say that you are the kindest and most generous person I have ever met. You are better than those lords." A hundred times, a thousand times! May God bless you forever!”

Little Alice held the big wine glass in both hands and said in a sweet voice: "Brother, you are a good person!"

Rosen was very emotional. After a few days of experience, he clearly realized that the suffering of ordinary civilians in this world is unimaginable to most people on earth. The only thing he can do is to continue walking on the road of science, hoping that the seeds of science will take root and sprout, grow into a strong tree, and then change the world!

He raised his glass and said, "No more words, come on, take a gulp."

After draining the glass of wine in one gulp, Rosen said: "Let's eat."

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Especially little Alice, she is small and simple-minded. When she saw so many delicious foods, she immediately forgot all her worries. She also completely forgot about Rosen's "devil" behavior last night, while eating barbecue. Yu, while shouting "brother~brother", was extremely affectionate.

After drinking and eating, Rosen returned to the yard contentedly. After resting for a while, he took the parchment scroll recording the mirror grinding process and walked towards Savi's glass shop.

Halfway through, Rosen suddenly heard a messy and unusual noise not far behind him, as if something had happened.

Rosen did not squeeze in to watch the excitement, but walked towards the passers-by who had been watching on the side of the road. He stood beside the passers-by for a while and then asked: "Hey, man, do you know what's going on over there?"

The passerby looked at Rosen warily, and seeing that he was a short, kind-looking boy, he let down his guard. He sighed and said, "They are refugees from Liuye Village in the west. The village was burned by Blackbeard, the strong men were captured, the women and children were raped and killed, and only 7 people escaped in the end, all of them are over there."

"Blackbeard?" Rosen grasped a word keenly, and he was very familiar with this word.

The passerby was distressed: "Yes, Blackbeard! I heard that he was an officer who escaped from the north, and he was very powerful. It is said that he brought more than 30 confidants with him, and gathered the robbers in the nearby area. Now the number is almost more than 500. They robbed food and killed people everywhere, doing all kinds of evil. They are more vicious than monsters. The gods will definitely punish them!"
