Chapter 20 Ipolita and Barcelona 12)

"A medicine for alchemy." Su Cornelius Scipio pondered for a while, then shook his head, "No, we cannot use medicines made by alchemy. The laws of the Seven Hills Empire prohibit alchemy. I cannot set this precedent. Let's use natural herbs."

"Sometimes, this is just a question of the question," said Paracelsus. "The reason why the Seven Hills Empire banned alchemy is that as far as I know, the false precious metals made by alchemy will affect the empire's economy. But we are now making medicine, not making gold. Although we still use alchemy technology, why don't we change the name and say it's making medicine?"

"Pharmaceutical technology." Su Cornelius Scipio fell into deep thought again. After a long time, he asked, "Paraceus, how sure are you sure of using alchemy potions to cure the Black Death?"

Upon hearing this question, a hint of ashamed appeared on Paracelsus's face.

"To be honest, I'm only 10% sure, Basels."

"Only 10%?"

"Because we now know nothing about this toxin that cures the disease. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the toxin is very small and beyond the range our eyes can capture. Unless I have a pair of eyes that can see the slightest, there is probably no chance of creating a drug that can cure the toxin."

Paracelsus said this with shame, and suddenly changed the subject:

"But there is one thing I'm very sure of - natural medicinal herbs cannot cure the Black Death at all, and there is no chance of even half."

"Insight into the subtle eyes." Su Cornelius muttered, "My niece has tinkered with a magic eye that can see far away."

"...Demon Eyes?" Paracelsus asked carefully.

"I won't talk about this anymore. Paracelsus, the chance of 10% is still too low. I cannot destroy the laws of the Seven Hills Empire for this."

Paracelsus was anxious: "But..."

Su Cornelius waved his hand impatiently: "Enough, Paracelsus. I have no doctor here who is willing to take over this matter. Since you volunteer, you can do other matters according to your suggestions. If the water of life only needs distilled liquor, you can also make it. For medicine, you must honestly use natural medicinal materials and never allow the use of alchemy medicine."

Paracelsus had to lower his head and replied, "I understand, that's what you want - I heard that there were patients in the palace, is this true?"

"It's true," said Su Cornelius Scipio. "The one who got sick at first was one of my chefs, and now it has spread to more than a dozen people. A few days ago, even my wife was sick."

"This is really unfortunate news." Paracelsus looked cautiously at Su Cornelius Scipio, "I don't know that Basels, you... have you contacted your wife recently?"

A trace of melancholy flashed in Su Cornelius Scipio's eyes: "Things are busy, and I haven't seen her for a month. After she got sick, the ministers all suggested that I not get close, and I just looked at her at the door. Paracelsus, can you cure her?"

"Let me put on my clothes before visiting." Paracelsus pointed to the clothes thrown on the ground with his eyes. "Before this, they need to be soaked in hot water before drying."

After everything was ready, Paracelsus wore the black robe and walked into the bedroom of Su Cornelius Scipio's wife. He held a wooden stick to lift the patient's sleeve and examined the condition of his skin; he used a wooden stick to open the patient's mouth and checked the mouth; finally used a wooden stick to tweak her cheeks and checked the nearer his neck. During the whole process, he was half a meter away from the patient. After doing this, he threw away the wooden stick, rubbed his hands with the water of life, and then found a chair three meters away to sit down, and asked about the patient's physical condition.

"How is she?" As soon as Paracelsus walked out of the bedroom, Su Cornelius Scipio asked impatiently.

Paracelsus replied: "She had slightly raised black spots all over her body, especially under her neck, and there were a lot of them. This is not good news. From my perspective, the toxins are hidden in these black spots."

“How to heal?”

“Generally speaking,” Paracelsus said, “in this case, I would recommend patients to amputate.”

"Amputation?" Su Cornelius Scipio suddenly widened his eyes, "You just said that there were black spots under his neck, and you wanted to cut her down only one head?"

"Of course there are other methods." Paracelsus looked at Su Cornelius Scipio meaningfully, "If you allow me to study alchemy potions against this toxin..."

"I have said it just now, no." Su Cornelius Scipio refused without thinking, "Don't try again, the Seven Hills Empire will not allow anyone to use the art of alchemy in a dignified manner, especially in the royal palace!"

"Since that's the case, there's only one last method left." Paracelsus said. "I will iron these dark spots with a hot iron to eliminate the toxins in it. Then place the highly toxic metal mercury under the patient's body, evaporate it with high temperature, and put the patient's body up and down a steam bath to further eliminate the toxins. Depending on the patient's body, this steam bath will be repeated many times - of course, it will be very painful, quite painful."

"I've never heard of such a therapy!" Su Cornelius Scipio shouted, "Can't you just use natural herbs to treat it?"

"Under normal circumstances, I would use alchemy to reduce the toxicity of the drug, or use alchemy reagents to reduce the pain and danger of radical therapy. But Lord Basels, you forbid me from doing this." Paracelsus said. "Fortunately, the patient is still young and should be able to resist this treatment. As long as Basels, you nod your head to agree, I will control this treatment to a level that will not kill her."

"You mean, it's all my fault that I don't let you use alchemy potions?"

"No, just as a doctor reminding the patient's family that he had a better choice."

"Just 10% chance of yours, save it!" Su Cornelius Scipio shouted, "Just follow the method you just said! But I remind you, Paracelsus, if my wife dies, I will put you in death cell!"

Paracelsus bowed deeply.
