Chapter 22 The Sun of Seven Hills (2)
Just as Paracelsus was entangled with the group of people, Draguè's voice came over: "What are you doing in broad daylight?"
The priest in the head turned his head with some displeasure and saw that it was Draguè, so he calmed down: "It turned out to be the priest of Delphi Apollo, we are capturing the demons that spread the plague."
"What a demon that spreads the plague? This is obviously a doctor!" said Drague, "Let him go quickly!"
"Doctor? But he didn't cure the patient at all! Looking at the bird's beak mask, all those who saw it were dead!" the priest turned around and said to the crowd, "You say, this doctor is suspicious or not!"
Amid the crowd's response, Draguè said unhappily: "He is the doctor I brought. Do you suspect he is a demon? Are you doubting me?"
This sentence caused some commotion to the crowd. The priest Draguère had established prestige in Constantinier. People were more willing to believe in Draguère who summoned the sun than the original priests. Although the priests continued to yell that this was a demon, the few who twisted Paracelsus still hesitated to loosen their hands.
The priest in the head noticed the change in the attitude of the crowd and said helplessly: "Since you are protecting the priest of Apollo, we can only believe that this is not a demon. Let's go!"
When the priests heard this, they had to lower their heads and leave the crowd with the priest. But when they passed by Draguère, the priest in charge suddenly stood up and asked, "Speaking of it, Apollo's priest, I remember your eyes were shot by arrows, why are you still doing well now?"
"The dragon clan's recovery ability is far beyond that of humans. This kind of injury can recover after a few days of rest." Draguer replied.
The priest glanced at Draguè with a gloomy look and said, "So that's it. I hope you don't mind the priest of Apollo. After all, we are humans, and we don't understand the body of the dragon clan, what this beast eats, and what it is thinking. I will remind people to pay attention and say goodbye."
After the group of priests left, the crowd dispersed. Paracelsus stood up in a hurried manner and put on the bird's beak mask again.
"Paracelsus, are you okay?" asked Drague. "I have heard some rumors in the city these days that are not very friendly to you. I really repay you with injustice!"
"I'm used to it." Paracelsus said helplessly, "When I was at the Alchemy University, my three-element theory was ignored. In the end, I had to write a paper on the two-element theory of Jabir before I could graduate. As a doctor, my theory was also heretic theory in the eyes of orthodox doctors such as Garen and Avicenna, and it was not welcomed. This is helpless. Whether it is alchemy or medical skills, I cannot prove that I am right with powerful facts."
"But you have controlled the plague!"
"Control the plague is a mandatory measure implemented by Basels with its authority. And I am just a useless doctor who cannot cure the patient." As he said that, Paracelsus shook his head, "I won't say much, I still have to rush my way."
"Are you going in a hurry now? Where are you going?"
"Not long ago, the King of Sweden sent me a letter saying that he had found a drug that could cure the Black Death. However, she was not clear about a key link in the preparation process of the drug. This is a crucial matter. For the sake of the patient, I have to go and take a look immediately."
"So fast? In other words, sulfa is really effective?" Draguère was a little surprised. "Paracelsus, you have suggested that the Swedish king try this drug. You have obviously never been exposed to this drug, so why can you have such accurate judgment?"
"How can there be any judgment? Alchemy medicine, this is a path that has never been touched by our predecessors, and it is covered with thorns and dark. I have no lamp on my hand, so I can only move forward in the dark. Thank God, at the same time as the great plague broke out, but before that, do you know how many walls I touched?"
"Are you unsure? Then why don't you learn the treatment methods written by other doctors? There should be many of these books."
"Because I still believe that skills are beyond nature. The peak that this dark road leads to must be much higher than the mountain that Garen and Avicenna explored. Perhaps after finding the lamp that can illuminate this road, people will turn around and laugh at the wrong path I have taken now. That is helpless - after all, the old do not go, the new do not come. Just as I burned Avicenna's medical skills when I was young, future generations will also burn my works."
"No one will laugh at you," Draguer said anxiously, "After all, you are the pioneer in exploring this path!"
Paracelsus smiled and stopped talking.
So Draguè said, "Paraceus, wait a little longer. I will go to see Basels first. After I come out, I will take you to find the King of Sweden and you will arrive in half a day."
"Is Basels going to see you?"
"Yes, I suddenly sent someone to ask me to come to the palace to see him, and I don't know what's wrong."
"That's probably about reward."
Paracelsus threw his eyes toward Draguère, and behind a wall, several priests looked at them both secretly.
"Draguer, have you lived with your sister in the temple of Apollo, and don't deal with people very much?"
"Some! Although it is a dragon clan, we also like to wear clothes! Every few months, I will use the cattle and sheep I caught to the city to exchange things..."
"Listen, Draguer, if Basels wants to give you any position, be sure to refuse. Don't stay in Constantinier. Go back to the temple of Delphi, that's the best place for you."
"Although I originally wanted to go back to the temple...but why?"
"Do you like the sun in the sky?"
"I like it! I am the priest of the Temple of Apollo... although I only found out that it was the Temple of Apollo not long ago."
"Since we like it so much, how about we add another sun to the sky?"
Draguer was startled: "That's too hot, it's better not!"
"That's it. Remember, today's Basels is the sun of the Seven Hills Empire. Never use light beyond him to become the second disgusting sun."
Draguer scratched his head: "I don't understand at all. Do you mean to let me leave everything? I obviously want to take this opportunity to get more money and build the Apollo Temple larger."
