Our family is in decline

"This kind of mushroom does not like light and likes to grow in warm, humid and dark places. The spores and hyphae have a significant inhibitory effect on pathogens."

Lance stood next to Paracelsus and looked at the large mushrooms cultivated in the basement room of the sanatorium. After a few days of breeding, there were already so many. Sure enough, the reproduction of fungi is so unreasonable.

I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why the witch chose fungi as the core. It's too efficient.

The elimination of the plague was a fortunate thing for most people, but there was one exception, and that was Paracelsus.

Because the plague had been cured before she could finish her research on the [disease-resistant mushroom], her efforts suddenly became meaningless.

Paracelsus studied this with a bit of anger. Although she didn't show it, she was actually very confident and proud.

But now the barbarian witch who emerged from the wilderness used the witchcraft she despised to prepare a magical potion to cure the plague first.

When this happens, she understands that she has lost, but her pride does not allow herself to show it. Of course, it is uncomfortable for her to have such negative emotions accumulated in her heart.

Lance knew that she needed recognition, encouragement, and of course a little purpose to vent her energy.

"You are wrong to think so, and you are absolutely wrong." Lance corrected her short-sightedness and guided it to a longer-term perspective.

"We must not only study, but also study in depth. The antibacterial properties exhibited by this mushroom may be used in other types of fungal infections. If successful, your name will be spread in the history of medicine.

Even if it is not universal, if our people want to open up the wilderness to clear away corruption, some people are bound to be infected with blight. We cannot consume precious and rare herbs every time and spend a lot of manpower to treat it.

Then the special medicine developed from this disease-resistant shiitake mushroom is the right choice. It can use simpler materials and lower costs to obtain better curative effects. "

Lance's vision is much longer-term. With such superior fungicidal properties, it is very likely that a broad-spectrum antibiotic medicine similar to penicillin can be extracted from shiitake mushrooms. This alone can solve wound infections and some fungal infections. , it is no exaggeration to say that it directly shortens the detour that thirty years of medical reform will take.

Even if it is only resistant to the type of fungus created by the witch, it will still have a great effect.

You must know that those who develop the wilderness will be exposed to corruption. How many people will be infected with the blight?

Lance spent a lot of money in front of him to gather people's hearts and save people at any cost. These people he saved were also soldiers.

But for those serfs Lance is not willing to waste too many resources on them, so he must find a better medicine, and this disease-resistant mushroom is the key.

More importantly, don't forget that the witch's legacy is in your hands. There is some research in it that Lance plans to restart.

If the fungus that specifically suppresses flesh and blood can be used by him, it will be a great help in defeating the ancestor.

But Lance himself was afraid, so he had to find a restrained antidote before he dared to use it.

But now it’s better to coax this female college student first.

"She can do it, and I believe you can too. After all, you are a college student. What we need now is to find a way to extract the unique substances contained in shiitake mushrooms..."

Paracelsus was very smart and thoughtful, but he was far from Lance's opponent when it came to playing with people's hearts.

With Lance's encouragement (encouragement), Paracelsus began to pay attention to this research topic again, and she was going to use [science] to prove herself!

"Just say whatever you need..." Of course, Lance was happy to see this scene. He would do what he said to Greendale at the beginning.

But before he could finish speaking Paracelsus, he got stuck.

"I need more test subjects."

"Uh...this..."

It's okay to ask for money and materials, but where can there be so many criminals in the town for her to study?

Although Lance is a bastard, he can't do the same thing as his ancestor, who randomly recruits people for research, because all the residents are his assets, and he still cares about his own things.

He had uttered arrogant words just now, but after a moment's hesitation, Lance couldn't get away with it like before, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, I'll have the five salted fish hanging in the square be taken care of before they die, and I'll bring them to you in two days, but you must remember that you are a human being, respect life, and don't fall into the fate of a witch. .”

It doesn't matter if this sentence is said by others, but it seems particularly awkward when it is said by Lance, a murderous person.

…………

"So you're not going to take another walk, take a look, and make a decision so quickly?"

Lance looked at Greendale in front of him. He only told her that he would give her time this morning. Lance originally thought it would take a little more time, but he didn't expect to come to her so soon.

Greendale was still dressed in the same barbarian attire, but the antler mask was not worn on her face since it was taken off, but hung on her waist. It seemed that she did not need to wear it normally.

Lance did not restrict her movements, on the contrary, he gave her great convenience.

In addition, after word spread about her treatment of the plague, people in the town were more respectful to her, so Greendale was able to easily collect information about the town. With that inexplicable trust, she was allowed to enter the training camp. of.

She had seen the drill of those soldiers who proved Hamlet's strength.

She also visited the captured equipment such as the Wolf Shield in the exhibition room, and heard from the soldiers that difficult battles were reversed in the hands of the lord.

These all prove the lord's strength, not to mention that he grew up within three months.

From the patient's family members, they learned about the Lord's journey along the way. He never broke his promise, did everything he promised, and showed great tolerance and fairness.

To be honest, Greendale was originally full of despair for this land, but in this cursed land, such a... perfect lord appeared. All this made her feel illusory and unreal.

But at the same time, he had the hope of revenge for himself, maybe he could really help him complete it.

"I have made my decision and I hope you can fulfill your agreement."

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Lance's face. Her choice was not surprising, because the purpose of both was the same, and she had no better choice than herself.

But Lance was still willing to show enough respect for the talent. He immediately stood up and led the person into a more relaxed reception room instead of here.

"Since you have chosen to join the team, it proves that we are partners. In this case, I will explain everything clearly here. I can also answer any questions you have to avoid problems in the future."

Lance used the iron stove on the side of the room to boil water, only this time it was not dry wood, but charcoal. The development of the wilderness had begun, and resources began to be returned to the town. This was just the simplest manifestation.

"The first thing is to explain the situation of your tribe and the Yalang tribe in detail."

The things that Lance put down returned to the position next to Greendale. He took the initiative to talk about the wolf before, and now it was her turn to show her sincerity.

Greendale is not stupid, and there is nothing worth hiding about this matter after the tribe's destruction. It's just that when she talks about this, the look on her face can't help but show sadness.

"There are countless tribes, large and small, in the misty mountains, and our Lushou tribe can only be regarded as a small tribe among them, but every tribe that can survive in the mountains has its own unique abilities..."

As Greendale explained, Lance gradually understood the situation of the Deer Head Tribe.

The spirit of the wilderness that the Lushou tribe believes in is a deer spirit that looks like a deer, and its characteristic is that its antlers have emerald green branches. The ability of the deer spirit can be simply summarized as resistance to toxins, controlling plants, and accelerating plant growth.

Moreover, Qinglu has a gentle temperament and does not like killing. The sacrifices in the ceremony are even various plants. Of course, these are not ordinary plants, but spiritual materials.

As a tribe that worships the green deer, they can naturally use similar abilities in some way, but they also don't like killing because of the influence of the green deer.

With their gentle temperament, they use this ability to cultivate plants. Under these conditions, most people in the Lushou tribe have become experts in herbal medicine or cultivation.

There's a reason why they don't like fighting but can survive in the mountains. It's because the precious medicinal materials cultivated by the Lushou tribe and the various medicines they prepare are hard currency, and because their gentle personalities are willing to deal with injuries or illnesses. people for treatment.

When it develops later, everyone who has completed their studies will go on a medical tour. Although most of them have the meaning of verifying what they have learned, simply speaking, they are practicing with others, but people from other tribes and even people from the empire have been subjected to it. Such favor.

Injuries and diseases in the mountains are very terrible, but the Lushou tribe is able to treat these people. In addition, the Lushou tribe has no ambitions, so although the Lushou tribe is small, it is protected by all parties.

Even the imperial forces will not take action against them, because they are the biggest buyers of various materials and medicines, and the Deer Head Tribe has also strangely become the group's favorite.

It stands to reason that this will continue until...

"We were slacking off, but we didn't expect that a bad wolf had already targeted us."

Greendale did not directly talk about the attack on the tribe, but talked about the cause of the incident, which was herself.

Greendale has shown extraordinary talent since she was a child, and has been favored by the deer spirit. In addition, the tribe is not short of resources, so she has always received the best training.

And she lived up to expectations, showing extraordinary extraordinary qualities and becoming the witch of the tribe at the age of ten.

Then the last priest started to get in touch with tribal affairs. Because of the transaction with the empire, she was taught about the empire, including its language, at a very young age.

Not all tribes are closed-minded. The Lushou tribe is relatively open-minded. At the age of fourteen, she finally started her own medical journey to test her abilities. She even followed the trade caravans to the empire several times. travel.

That's why she speaks the common language so well and has a broader vision than Boudica, who is also a barbarian.

At that time, she had already completed her medical travels and returned to the tribe as the next priest to begin to get in touch with deeper powers and learn to manage the tribe.

Until she came into contact with a barbarian tribe, trouble was laid.

Yes, this is the Yalang tribe, but at that time they had not yet recovered from the decline caused by their defeat in the war with the empire. Under the leadership of the steady alpha wolf, they did not start killing people, but more like A hungry wolf hiding in the dark and licking his wounds.

The crux of the matter was when the talented warrior wolf of the Yalang tribe chose to challenge an extraordinary ferocious beast in order to please the Wolf God in its hunting ceremony.

Although successful, they were seriously injured. The Yalang tribe was worried that the genius would fall, so they asked the Lushou tribe for help.

You must know that the Lushou tribe is not only able to survive through those means, they are also good at socializing and forming good relationships, and they have such a good relationship with everyone.

Although the Yalang Tribe declined due to the war with the Empire, it still had the heritage of a large tribe, and the Lushou Tribe naturally wanted to be on good terms with them.

As a preparatory priest, Greendale is the most suitable to take action. Simply put, it is to gain favors and become familiar with her first.

Greendale's ability can remove even the plague created by the witch, and treating the wolf warrior is just a very easy task.

But during this short period of treatment, the warrior wolf actually announced that he liked her.

Uh... Greendale, who is also a barbarian, can understand this kind of thing. Barbarians are very straightforward in expressing their emotions.

She didn't take it seriously. After all, there were many people among the mountain tribes who liked her, and the alpha wolf was not even ranked among them.

He just replied that he wanted to worship the gods.

But she didn't expect that Zhan Lang didn't care at all when faced with her rejection, and kept claiming that he liked her, and even came to the Lushou Tribe to pester her.

But these things can only be a joke to the barbarians. Everyone knows that it is impossible for their priests to marry outside, and there is a wolf pressing down on them. They originally thought that the matter would end here.

Until suddenly one day, War Wolf brought barbarian warriors from the tribe and raided the unsuspecting Lushou tribe.

The Lushou tribe was not without warriors, but the years of peace had long worn off their vigilance, and they did not expect that someone would actually come to kill them.

In addition, most of their secret techniques are related to plants. You can let them farm, but it is not suitable for fighting. Facing the Yalang warriors who live by killing, it is almost a one-sided massacre.

"The entire camp was dyed red with blood, fires were igniting everywhere, wailing, screaming..."

From Grendel's words, Lance could get a glimpse of the tragic situation the Deer Head Tribe endured from her perspective.

But even if the barbarians have been in peace for a long time, they are still somewhat ruthless and have a rich family. Those warriors directly take drugs and use various potions.

Priests like Greendale who mastered secret arts also used their tribe's secret arts to control the plants around them and strangle their enemies during the battle.

There is also a very critical point, that is, every tribe has some unknown and weird secrets. In fact, everyone in the Lushou tribe has taboos on their bodies, which are extraordinary plants cultivated with flesh and blood. Death will trigger .

Bloodthirsty thorns grew out of the corpses of the tribesmen using flesh and blood as nourishment. They waved wildly to fight against the intruders. As long as they were caught, the blood on their bodies would be sucked dry with every breath, turning into a mummy and falling to the ground as fertilizer. .

I have to say that he actually blocked the attack in a short time.

But a tall figure among them became the last straw for the Lushou tribe.

"My love! Where are you from?"

Appeared on the battlefield accompanied by a roaring sound...
