Chapter 100:

Felix listened to Wei Wei's "Little Black Room" torture method. Although he was dubious about this method, he still asked someone to prepare it.

It is not easy to set up a completely dark and absolutely quiet room for a while. Fortunately, there are enough rooms in the castle, so choose a remote room to prepare, and you can use it tomorrow at the latest.

And the effect of the little black house is really strong. As the first experimenter, Sean's willpower is not strong. He has not received professional training, and he has no preparation in advance. He was locked in at night. The hands and feet are still tied, and only the chin is put back - now they have seen that the man will not kill himself, so don't worry about him biting his tongue.

In the first hour, he was locked in the small dark room, he began to collapse and yell, but the soldiers guarding had already received Felix's orders and did not respond at all, standing far away from the door. In the aisles on both sides, he was locked for a whole night before he was released.

"He's finally willing to recruit." Felix was very surprised. He didn't expect the effect to be so amazing. He wanted to stay for two more days, but one night passed, and the guard at the night watch said that Sean sounded like he was going crazy. I was worried that he was crazy and couldn't ask anything, so he let people let him out.

After coming out, Sean asked what to say, and if he was hesitant, he just said that he would be locked back and changed immediately. It can be seen that he was very scared inside last night.

Everyone was amazed by that appearance. When Felix left, he heard a few knights behind him discussing trying the little dark room to see how scary it was. It was even more powerful than a whip and iron Fear.

They didn't know anything about the power of the little black room, they only thought that Sean was timid, and they would not be like this, and a group of people would bet who could stay in it longer.

After hearing this, Wei Wei could only pray for them silently, hoping that these people would not suffer from claustrophobia when they came out. At this time, there was no psychiatrist to ease their mood.

"Did he say who ordered it?"

"He said a name." Felix slightly regretted: "He is an auxiliary bishop who serves in the church headquarters, and he did not travel with the visiting group this time."

If they are not in Sardinson, or even in the visiting group, the church will not hand over people to them. This clue is useless to them.

Hearing this result, Wei Wei felt incredible: "An auxiliary bishop? Why did he murder the Pope? Sean didn't lie to you?"

Felix shook his head: "With his current situation, it should be impossible to lie to me. "

Wei Wei thinks about it too, very much he wants to try the power of the little black house again.

"As for the person he recruited, I asked Bishop Umberto and Father Matthew, and they have no impression of him, just a small person, but his former assistant bishop died unexpectedly not long ago, and he didn't have time to appoint an assistant bishop. , he is currently competing with another candidate for the post, but I heard that the chances of winning are not big."

Both the assistant bishop and the assistant bishop are assistants to the bishop of the diocese, the only difference is whether they inherit the bishop's rights.

To put it simply, if a diocese bishop is vacant for various reasons (usually passing away), the assistant bishop will automatically become the next bishop of the diocese, while the auxiliary bishop has no right of succession.

Wei Wei doubted: "Can such a person buy off the Pope's entourage? A person who can't even compete for an assistant bishop?"

The clerical hierarchy of the church at this time included the pope, cardinals, archbishops, and chief bishops (a country). The head of the church organization or the bishop where the capital is located), the bishop of the diocese, the assistant bishop, the bishop and other high bishops, and the assistant bishop belongs to the lowest position among the senior clergy, and the assistant bishop is even lower than the assistant bishop. , nominally a rank, can be counted as an ordinary bishop rank.

In terms of status, the auxiliary bishop sounds higher than the pope's attendant, but with Pope John's letter to Sean, if he wants, he can ask Pope John to give him a more senior bishop after he has enough qualifications. Position, even if there is no real power, it is not difficult for the Pope to arrange the position of bishop of a diocese,

so it is obvious that the other party cannot be a real messenger, at most it is a pawn.

"When was he bought? What did the other party promise?"

asked the point.

Felix raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a hint of disdain: "Not long before the visit, the future of a cardinal."

Wei Wei couldn't help taking a breath: "This is a lot of money, but this kind of fake Dakong's promises are believed, so I'm afraid that Sean is not smart enough." He

is indeed not smart enough.

What is a cardinal, a high-ranking cleric second only to the Pope, a pinnacle of authority that very few people within the church can achieve? Such a position can be accepted by a person who cannot even be a bishop of a diocese.

I will believe him, either knowing that there is someone behind the other party, or it is really stupid.

"So he should know that there are people behind him." Wei Wei said firmly.

"He knows someone, but he doesn't know who it is." Felix nodded: "To make sure he is telling the truth, I put the person in the small dark room again, and I will check later."

For the enemy, Felix never gives up.

When he went to arraign again an hour later, Sean's mental state was indeed worse, but he didn't change his mouth, and what he said before was sure to be true.

In this case, Felix has to regretfully announce that the investigation can only end here.

"We can't get involved in church affairs." Felix said: "I will hand over people to Pope John and let them handle it themselves."

Wei Wei also agreed to do this, and by the way, he could sell his favour, obviously What happened this time was planned by the hawks in the church. If the murderer was handed over to the doves, they would investigate on their own.

"I hope people can be useful when they get to them, and it won't take long for them to be silenced."

Wei Wei is not optimistic about Pope John, who is keen on alchemy and has never even stepped out of the castle gate since arriving in Sardinson.

But probably because he has no political talent, he can sit in his current position.

"The Pope can't do it, and there is Bishop Umberto. He is not as harmless as he looks."

Even the person he couldn't find it after searching for so long, Bishop Umberto took less than half a month to find the person. I found it. Although part of it is because the other party is hiding in the monastery, Bishop Umberto is not the head of the church in the Prady Empire, and the church has always been suppressed here. Finding someone in such a short period, and setting up manpower to monitor them by the way, shows that their network forces cannot be underestimated.

Counting the time, if there is no accident, someone should have been caught in the capital, but it will take some time to wait for the news to come back.

Although she didn't see how powerful the protagonist was circling her before asking about farming matters, Wei Wei still believed in Felix's judgment.

On the other hand, the knight sent by Bishop Roberto to interrogate him came back and reported that after Sean's confession, Bishop Roberto was not as eager as before.

He was so worried before because Sean, a traitor, was told to him by another left-behind cardinal when he entered Sardinson, to let him cooperate with the other party in this plan, so Bishop Roberto only Will act so impatient and malicious along the way, trying to attract everyone's attention.

However, he always thought that Sean was the other party's subordinate, so when the incident happened, he was afraid that he would be implicated, so he would rush to take people away. Bishop Berto this matter is not over yet. There is still an auxiliary bishop who has been recruited to deal with this. Unfortunately, after the previous explosion, Fort Sardinson blocked the entry and exit of church members. The most important thing at this stage is to deliver although Sean confessed, their freedom was still restricted. Even Pope John and Bishop Umberto acquiesced to his behaviour. Even though Bishop Roberto protested many times, nothing changed.

Even Umberto said with a smile when he protested: "Don't worry, I have already told the other people who stayed behind about His Majesty the Pope's situation, so they don't worry."

Who cares if anyone is worried about the Pope, that's his point Even a minor injury won't last for a few days. Bishop Roberto just wanted to inform someone to fix the auxiliary bishop.

Of course, Felix cheated in private. Bishop Umberto's speed was much faster than his side. Even the news of the Pope's injury was delayed for a few days to confirm that he was in good condition before people dragged him out. , but also to delay time.

Here Felix was busy fighting with people, and Wei Wei was busy taking care of the two wounded.

Pope John used to do medical care work and even served as a physician for a former pope. The medical level can be said to be relatively high in Europe in this era. He was very clear about his injury. It took him a week to get out of bed, but after drinking the soup that Wei Wei sent people to cook every day, he lay in bed for two days, his head no longer aches, and people can get out of bed.

This was faster than he originally expected, so Wei Wei's medical skills naturally aroused his interest. Originally, the Pope liked the research direction of panacea when he studied alchemy. Now the experiment cannot be done for the time being. Let's discuss the success of medical skills with Wei Wei. his new Wei is also very happy to talk about this with him. Her knowledge of Western medicine is self-taught. Although her physical talent is there, it is not too difficult to learn, but she can have a discussion with someone who has a deeper understanding of this aspect and improve herself for her. Great, given that Western medicine in this period was still in its infancy and the system was not established, a lot of knowledge would be proven wrong in the future, and many medical methods looked like superstitions, so relatively speaking, it was the Pope who benefited more. Raymond became their tool ready-made cases are out there, and they certainly don't leave them unused.

So Raymond has no time to worry about whether his legs will get worse. He just listens to Wei Wei and Pope John around his bed every day whispering to him. There is not even quiet time, and there is no time to think about other things.

And at the beginning, Raymond didn't understand what they said, but the Pope also couldn't understand Wei Wei's words, which made her have to explain slowly, simply and straightforwardly. By the way, Raymond used Raymond as a reference for Pope John. As a tool and an observer, Meng can gradually understand what his situation to prevent infection, his wound needs to be changed every three days. The first time was when Raymond was the most nervous. Although Wei Wei prescribed him analgesics in the past few days, the pain in the wound was still obvious. Yes, and the broken leg was wrapped in bandages, like a mummy in Egypt across the Mediterranean Sea. He didn't even know what the surgical wound under the bandage looked like, so when it was quiet at night, Raymond couldn't help but make up his mind. Scare yourself with a bunch of scary it is that the wound has festered and he just can't see it? Maybe it has turned into rotten meat. In this weather, the package is so tightly packed, it is possible to rot, maybe there are maggots inside...Raymond can't help but think of the meat that will rot after a day in summer, The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. In addition to the discomfort of his leg pain, even if the decoction Wei Wei prescribed for him had a calming effect, he couldn't sleep well. In just a few days, he lost a lot of, this worry stopped abruptly at the first dressing plaster bandage was removed, revealing the surgical scar underneath. The long incision scar was smoother than they expected. The suture marks at the wound were very beautiful, and every knot was neat and orderly. Except for some redness, there was no lightning. issues of this result, Raymond finally lets go of his worries. Now, no matter how much his leg can recover, he doesn't have to worry about amputation as long as he can keep he had already prepared for amputation in his heart, and now that he found it unnecessary, he felt relieved and even had the mood to think that if he became lame in the future, he would have to prepare a better walking stick for himself.

Happiness is only when there is contrast. Compared with amputation, he is not very repelled that he may become a lame man.

Wei Wei is also very satisfied with his recovery. It is a good thing that there is no sign of purulence in the wound. She first cleaned the wound with saline prepared with distilled water and salt, then changed the dressing, and finally wrapped a clean new bandage. There is still time to answer the Pope's questions.

"It's unbelievable. We used to operate on patients, and the wounds would have problems. Even if some people were lucky enough not to purify, the scars were very hideous and the recovery was very slow.

" are not in the minority.

Wei Wei taught him a common sense of hygiene, precautions for wound care, and by the way, a wave of saline, alcohol, and the gold sore medicine he made.

"Everything that comes into contact with the wound should be thoroughly disinfected in advance, and the wound should be kept clean and sterile after stitching so that there will be no deterioration."

Wei Wei has said this before, but The Pope has always been sceptical. After all, this is an era when most people don't take a bath. They have no common sense of hygiene. Some people even think that cleaning themselves too clean will bring bad luck.

He didn't do it until he saw Raymond's leg injury, and was very interested in the three medicinal items Wei Wei said.

Alcohol requires a lot of wine as a raw material to be distilled many times, and the cost is very high. At present, it is only produced as a raw material for perfume, and it is not sold separately. Felix knows the use of alcohol and stores it in the wine cellar of the castle. One batch is used as military supplies; and, and biological saline is now transferred by Wei Wei for Raymond. Distilled water is a by-product of the essential oil factory, but it is used to make toner. Instead, the salt needs to be processed and purified before it can be used. A bit of magic; as for the golden sore medicine, she specially researched it for Felix and his subordinates who always needed to take people to hunt. It was especially used by the castle's fighting forces. She didn't have much survival on her hands.

But Pope John kept asking her if she could sell some of these things to him. He wanted to buy a batch for the church hospital after confirming the effect so that doctors could use it for patients.

He believes that if the effect of these things is as good as Wei Wei said, it will undoubtedly be very helpful in improving the cure rate of patients.

The so-called church hospital refers to the place where the wounded are placed in the church, and it is not an institution dedicated to medical treatment.

The word hospital was also heard by Pope John Raymond, and Raymond also remembered it after hearing Wei Wei say it by accident.

If Pope John said something else, Wei Wei might not agree, but when he mentioned treating patients, Wei Wei couldn't care less.

Probably because the body is a doctor, Wei Wei has never been a doctor for a day, but she always has the idea of saving lives and helping the wounded. She can't let her go.

Therefore, she was very confused: "These things are only a little bit, and I can't give them to you if you want them now."

Pope John saw her wavering and made persistent efforts: "So is mass production difficult? If there is anything you need help with, Yes, please tell me."

Originally, Pope John intended to make good relations with Sardinson County, it would be even better if they could reach cooperation, although Bishop Umberto had obtained the wheat planting technology and achieved their expected purpose, Now that there are greater interests in front of him, the Pope is of course tempted.

And although he is not good at politics, he also knows that if this kind of life-saving thing can be promoted, as a promotion, the status of the church and even his church in the hearts of the people will only improve to a higher level.

He doesn't even doubt that if he can seize this opportunity, the doves will get more support, and maybe there is a chance to overwhelm the hawks.

What he thinks of beauty is not so easy to let go of Wei Wei. She didn't like the church at first, and she just treated Pope John as an ordinary guest. When it comes to friendship, she doesn't have it.

So she didn't agree with his obvious intention to seek cooperation and only said that she would discuss it with Felix.

"After all, you also know that we in Madison are very short of people. There are so many things to do right now that we can't spare any extra people. Even if we plan to produce medicines, I'm afraid we will have to arrange it until next year at the earliest."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, as long as the product can be confirmed, it's fine to wait for a year." Pope John was half relieved after hearing her say this.

Although there is no explicit promise, this is already intentional, isn't it?

However, he immediately added: "Since there is no way to mass-produce it for the time being, can you provide me with some in small batches?" After all,

it was a drug that he had never seen before. He still wanted to try it himself before concluding. her explanation.

"Alcohol and saline can be prepared for you, but gold sore medicine won't work." Wei Wei didn't completely refuse this time.

Although she said that things are not easy to prepare the only troublesome thing is the gold sore medicine. You can go to the factory to adjust some alcohol. There is no shortage of distilled water for normal saline, and you can mix it with some purified salt. There are a lot of them, but there are many kinds of medicinal materials used in golden sore medicine. Some of them are not easy to find this season. The pharmacy has not had many reserves. It is possible to make a batch of them, but it will lead to a shortage of certain medicinal materials. If she needs it in the future It's troublesome to use.

Of course, it's not that she can't develop other similar formulas, but it can't be researched in a short time.

So in the end, Wei Wei only agreed to help prepare a batch of alcohol and physiological saline before he left. As for the medicine for golden sore, he was only willing to give him two bottles at most.

Two bottles were enough. Pope John had seen Wei Wei apply medicine to Raymond, and he only poured a little powder at a time. The two bottles he got could be used for several days.

He really can't wait to find someone to try it now.

Unfortunately, he was also injured. After watching Raymond change his dressing, Pope John was urged by Wei Wei to go back to the guest room to rest.

"Your medicine should be almost ready. Go back and drink it while it's still hot. Then lie down and sleep, or you'll feel uncomfortable again later."

Although Pope John is recovering well, he can get out of bed for a walk now. I have gone, but if it is too long, I still have headaches, so I still need to rest more.

As soon as he heard that it was time to drink the medicine again, Pope John couldn't help but said to his friend before leaving: "Although I have always known that herbal medicine is very bad, the soup made by the Countess is the hardest I have ever drunk. Drink."

Raymond gave him a thumbs up: "I agree."

If there is anything that even he can't stand, it's only soup.

Wei Wei, who was still at the scene, showed a ladylike smile.

Dare to say this in front of the parties, I am afraid that you do not know how powerful the power of traditional Chinese medicine is.

The prestige of preferring an injection to drink Chinese medicine is not a joke.

She turned her head and said softly to Karma who was beside her, "It seems that the two injured patients do not need to change their prescriptions."

Then, without hesitation, she cut down most of the herbs used to enhance the flavour in the original prescription and added some with the same effect. But the taste is very "great", the taste is almost comparable to the herbs of Coptidis.

Karma, who knew how disgusting the smell of those herbs could be, looked sympathetically at the two old men who were unaware of them.

Hopefully, they can survive the next big blow.

"Do you need to prepare sugar cubes for them?"

"...If they bring it up by themselves."

That's not necessary, because the Countess had told them before that they should not eat sugar while drinking the medicine, which would reduce the efficacy of the medicine.
