Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 327

Purficott was holding back her evil fire and was preparing to vent it out and find someone to establish her authority, but what she regretted was that there was really no conspiracy in this matter.

After the shaman used a ritual she couldn't understand to dispel the curse, the residents of the entire settlement had visibly improved. They no longer saw hallucinations and no longer felt pain in their limbs.

Of course, gangrene caused by necrosis of limbs cannot be cured.

But these were the areas that Purficott was responsible for. She personally made human bodies out of the residents who had lost their limbs, and successfully allowed them to repair their damaged limbs.

As for those whose gangrene was not particularly serious, but whose hands and toes were black, they were not so lucky that the lord personally took care of them. They were handed over to the medical staff sent by Perficott, and those with slightly more serious cases were transferred to another hospital. to the capital Chernobog for treatment.

As the capital of the northern border, Chernobog has a large hospital built according to Purficott's standards. Although the medical staff may not necessarily be better than other places in terms of medical skills, in terms of hygiene, epidemic prevention and targeting bacteria, This hospital can be said to be the best hospital of this era.

Naturally, the mortality rate of patients in this hospital was extremely low in this era, and even surgical operations were better than elsewhere.

The main reason is still an interesting thing to say. With Perficott's announcement of fantasy alchemy, a wave of research on fantasy alchemy was set off within the empire's territory.

Naturally, there are alchemists who are interested in medicine and hope to improve the current medical level.

In particular, Purficott's previous articles on bacterial infections also rectified the medical industry and almost won an honor from the medical society at that time.

This gave those alchemists a good inspiration, and based on this, they conducted research and research on Langton's current medical level.

In the end, they did make some achievements, such as a special alchemy tablet used for sterilization. Just throwing it into water will quickly generate a large amount of steam, and the steam has a strong disinfection and sterilization effect, which can effectively To disinfect a house or other facility.

In addition, they also developed a usable anesthetic in response to the current situation where surgery in this era does not even have anesthesia.

Purficott didn't know what formula they used, but in short, the smell of this stuff can make people completely unconscious, even if they are disemboweled, they won't feel anything at all.

Therefore, when anesthesia and disinfection are available, the success rate and efficiency of this medical operation will naturally be improved. After all, doctors do not have to compete with hand speed to see who can remove the arm faster.

Knowing this, Purficott naturally applied these latest results to the northern medical system, and this has also resulted in the fact that Chernobyl now has the best hospital in the entire northern region.

If it weren't for the fact that human body refining was still a taboo, Perficott even considered cultivating a group of alchemists who knew how to refining the human body to be doctors. This would definitely be better than any medical technology in curing diseases and saving lives.

Of course, considering the current public opinion environment in the empire, even if Purficott can largely ignore all kinds of rules and regulations, she still doesn't want to do so.

After all, what she needs now is a stable social environment, not a turbulent society with various conflicts and conflicts.

So in order to seek stability, it's not like she can't compromise or give up some things and ideas.

The premise is that he feels it's worth it. If she doesn't feel it's worth it, then Purficott won't mind using the most violent means to solve the problem. Just like now, after knowing that the source of the curse was an ancestral soul that had even destroyed the tribe that worshiped it, she directly sent out the steam knight, vowing to dig out the thing and whip the corpse and throw it into a cesspool for soaking. a hundred years!

The steam knights carried out her orders to the letter, and soon dug out the ancestor souls of the tribe that had been destroyed under the guidance of the shaman.

There are still some slight differences between the so-called souls of ancestors and the souls of ancestors worshiped by various indigenous tribes. The souls of ancestors can be regarded as the souls of ancestors supported by faith, while the souls of ancestors can be regarded as the souls of ancestors who have lost their support. spirit.

The difference between the two is like the domestic god who eats incense and the lonely ghost who has no one to worship him. They are essentially the same animal spirit.

It's just that the ancestral spirit of this extinct tribe is a powerful soul that can use soul fire to burn the souls of humans and animals, and cast curses. In addition, it has been worshiped before, and it still has some accumulation and heritage. .

It was precisely because of this that the previous residents of this settlement were cursed by the spirits of their ancestors.

Because their development and construction disturbed the soul of the ancestors that should have been silent or even disappeared, so they were cursed by the power of the soul of the ancestors.

When it comes to curses, you have to admit that Purficott's initial guess was correct. The symptoms it showed were the same as those of ergot poisoning.

As for the reason, a large part of the reason is that this tribe used to like to use ergot as tribute, and also used it as a poison. They even deliberately planted some wheat infected with ergot fungus or consumed ergot in small amounts. Feel the hallucinogenic power of the toxins it contains.

It’s just that the dosage of this kind of thing must be controlled very carefully. Once you eat too much, you will also feel pain in your limbs, hallucinations in front of your eyes, and eventually lead to necrosis of body tissues and gangrene.

As a result, the corresponding ancestor souls were also affected, and the curse produced an effect similar to that of ergot poisoning, and even the symptoms were almost the same.

Purficott showed great anger about this. After having the totem pole containing the ancestor's soul dug out, he severely tortured the totem pole in an attempt to force the ancestor's soul out of it.

In the end, the soul of a poisonous snake was forced out by Purficott, and was captured and sealed.

As for the original totem poles, they were dismantled and used as firewood or garbage.

Because without the souls of the ancestors, the so-called totem poles are just beautifully carved wooden pillars with no actual use value.

As for the sealed soul of the ancestors, Purficott planned to study it carefully before considering how to deal with it.

In the previous war with the indigenous tribes in the north, Perficott also acquired a few totem poles, but those ancestors' spirits were still enshrined before the tribe was exterminated, and there was still some difference between them and the ancestors' souls. the difference.

And these are what Purficott is curious about.
