Pirate Kingship

Wait for Catherine to change into a light and decent shirt and trousers in the inner suite, and the two hurried out of her boudoir.

Many maids in the mansion secretly looked at them strangely, and when Byron looked back, they immediately dodged.

Through the real-time monitoring of the [Golden Law], he heard their thoughts and what they just said clearly:

"Listen, the battle between the Governor and the Countess is a bit fierce."

"Three whole hours, so amazing, is this the strength of a second-level strongman?"

"."

Byron had just landed, and the two had been together for several hours.

Just now, the house was about to be demolished by them, and even Catherine had changed her clothes, which inevitably made people imagine.

It was also because Catherine had placed all the well-educated and even extraordinary personal maids in key positions in the territory.

These local maids recruited temporarily, although their backgrounds are clean, their overall quality is quite average, and they are completely unworthy of the cultivation of the noble family.

They are completely incomparable with the well-trained elite maids in the Old Continent.

Not to mention that there is no such thing, even if they see the restaurant, living room, garden, and even the grape trellis with their own eyes, they can keep their eyes straight and keep their mouths shut.

There is no need to think too much, and gossips starting with "Hey, have you heard about it?" and "Pass it on" will soon appear on Taiman Island.

Of course, they spread this, which is much better than spreading the governor's affairs with squids/octopuses.

At least when the rumor spreads, the pirates of the privateering fleet and even the Newman family of the royal colony will be happy to see it.

'The main problem is that the territory lacks various talents and people.

But soon there will be undead servants, gods, natural spirits, and indigenous manpower. '

The two did not take the maid's thoughts to heart, and walked out of the simple wooden earl's mansion side by side.

After opening the access rights to the third-level Eagle Spirit Warrior Geronimo, the other party had already followed the instructions and came to their heads.

"Mr. Byron, it is extremely urgent. Please help as soon as possible."

The eagle swooped down from the sky with a whirlwind, and both the movements and shouts were obviously anxious.

Geronimo was not the only one coming.

Three other people jumped down from his broad back in advance.

One was the Great Shaman Iekotel, the highest-ranking shaman in the city after the king and princess of Chichen Itza died in the Azk Royal City.

He was still holding the cane inlaid with the No. 8 crystal skull in his hand.

It was from him that Byron got the status of a superior noble of the city-state and agreed on the details of the joint military expedition.

The other one was a middle-aged female shaman who had never been seen before, holding a black human-shaped Tao Weng tightly in her arms.

Inside the pottery jar was a teenager who looked like he was only half a teenager, with only half of his head exposed and his eyes closed, as if he was in deep sleep.

Seeing this scene, Byron suddenly had an idea:

"The opportunity has come."

He has never been a good person who shows mercy without reason, and he knows very well that it is never easy to do business that is rushed.

Even if it is to save lives.

No matter how good your medical skills are, you can see the problem before the patient gets sick. If you take the initiative to approach, people may suspect that you have ulterior motives.

After the expeditionary force left the shore of Lake Texcoco, it took three days to cross the rainforest and another three days to return to the Taiman Islands.

During this period of nearly a week, the city of Chichen Itza did not respond at all.

It is conceivable that if there was no sudden and unavoidable unexpected situation.

It is not so easy to ask them to send the crystal skull No. 8 [Quetzalcoatl] Kukulkan to the Taiman Islands and cooperate with me unconditionally and fully.

Just as he thought, Geronimo, who had turned back into human form, hurried forward to introduce Byron:

"Sir, this is the great shaman Sihuatl of Uxmal, the city-state next to Chichen Itza. This time, they were badly cheated by those Castilians."

Through his narration, Byron quickly figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

After the collapse of the Taya Empire, it split into more than 100 city-states of various sizes that were in constant civil strife.

Each city-state has its own interests, and they all want to take the lead in recreating the former glory of the empire.

If the Azik Empire in the north had not been always eyeing them, they might have killed and bloodshed.

This is the inheritance of indigenous civilization. Death is not the end, and the guardian spirit needs to be fed at all times.

It is not just the Azik Empire itself that launched the blood sacrifice and the war of glory.

Only the city of Chichen Itza, which mainly worships the feathered serpent god Kukulkan, is one of the few city-states that does not use blood sacrifice to feed the gods.

Nowadays, Uxmal and Tayapan are listed as the three major city-states of the Taino Empire along with Chichen Itza (Chapter 132).

The experiences of the other two cities are similar to that of Chichen Itza.

In exchange for peace, the beautiful princess and king of their own family were lured to the royal city of Azk to attend the wedding of the previous emperor.

In the end, they all became sacrifices to build the [Golden Code] with the royal city Tenochtitlan as the core, gathering the "collective subconscious sea" of the Taino people.

And their two cities are more unlucky than Chichen Itza.

Acted as the vanguard in organizing the anti-Azk alliance.

A large number of warriors were sent, and together with the Kingdom of Castile, a war agent they did not pay much attention to at first, they rushed into the Royal City of Azik.

This was great. In the end, not only the princess and the king accompanied them, but also a considerable number of the elite troops were almost buried by the [Funeral Bird's Beak Epidemic Doctor].

“Because the monstrosity that spread the plague divided the infected areas according to distance, and the time of onset was different.

Most of those warriors who were too close and were affected by the plague aura have fallen in the Azik King City, but there are also a handful of people standing far away who do not have any symptoms.

One of the senior soldiers who served as the royal bodyguard thought he was fine, but he suddenly fell ill shortly after returning to Uxmal City.

This also allowed the plague to start spreading among the people before the [Funeral Bird's Beak Plague Doctor] arrived in the city-state.

This is Prince Miketka, and he is also the last heir to the royal family of the city-state after the death of the king and princess, so you see.”

Byron took over the words of the old man Geronimo in his heart:

‘So, the tragic experience of similar people became the last straw that broke the psychological defense line of the top management of Chichén Itza, and also eliminated their last layer of luck.

The psychological bottom line is falling again and again, and the price you are willing to pay is far greater than before the disaster struck you.

As long as my medical expenses are not too excessive, they should be able to accept it.

In addition to being an ally, the only seedling from Uxmal City was brought here with the intention of inspecting the goods first.

However, it's just what I want.

Once there is a successful demonstration, my plan to use my own strength to eat at home and eat at home can be officially launched. ’

Immediately, he activated [Son of the Storm] to add a layer of spiritual protective clothing to himself, and nodded to them:

“We are all friends who fight side by side, so I will naturally do my best.

Fortunately, you came early. If you had come a few days later, I wouldn't have been able to save him.

Come with me. "

Saying that, he took the lead and led a few confused people into the cattle pen on the island.

There are dozens of cows that Catherine bought in advance, all grazing leisurely.

The girl stepped forward and pushed away the female workers who were milking the cows. She held her hands behind her back and asked Byron for credit:

"As you said, I personally visited the livestock markets in Jamestown and other surrounding colonies.

Each of the 'sick cows' found completely matches the symptoms you described, but the degree is different. "

For other things, she may instinctively consider financial issues and try every means to save every coin.

But as a hopeless helper, even if he can no longer understand Byron's intentions, he will definitely fulfill all his requirements without compromise.

Even bidding at a premium will win all the "sick cows" you see.

Byron turned on [Echoes of History] and looked at all the cows, and found that all the cows had local ulcers or acne on their genitals.

Exactly the same as in my memory.

Nodding with great satisfaction:

"Well done. Although some of them have healed on their own, most of them are still in the stage of blisters and pustules, which is perfect for extracting cowpox."

"Cowpox?"

Hearing this word that was so unfamiliar that it had never even appeared in this world, everyone including Catherine couldn't help but be stunned.

"Aren't we going to treat smallpox in humans? What does it have to do with cows?"

Byron knew very well that nowadays, when bloodletting therapy is still popular, concepts such as human-to-human infectious diseases, vaccines, and immune systems are no less than Zentraedi-level knowledge.

For the sake of follow-up plans, I could only explain to them the principles of my treatment in a concise and concise manner:

"We all know that if a person gets smallpox, he won't get it again after he recovers.

That's because his body has produced a special substance that resists the virus, which I call an antibody.

In fact, if we take pus from a mild case of smallpox and infect ourselves, we can gain immunity.

But this method of variolation carries extremely high risks.

Fortunately, I accidentally discovered that people infected with cowpox, the cow's smallpox, also acquired the same immunity.

The most important thing is that the symptoms are mild and not fatal."

Several people roughly understood what he meant.

"I understand, it's a method commonly used in black magic to fight fire with fire."

Vaccinia virus is very weakly pathogenic to humans and generally only reproduces at the site of vaccination.

However, because it has strong cross-immunity with the smallpox virus, immunity to the smallpox virus will also appear in the human body after vaccination with cowpox.

This is how you can fight fire with fire.

But after listening to his explanation, the two shamans, who were well versed in all kinds of black magic, not only did not feel relaxed, but instead frowned even more.

Especially the female great shaman Sihuatl couldn't help but frown and asked:

"But Miketka has already been infected with the plague. If we use this method of fighting poison with poison, by the time your cowpox takes effect, he may have died of the disease."

Byron held up the non-existent eyes on the bridge of his nose and smiled calmly at her:

“That’s a good question.

If you want to ask why cowpox can be used to treat patients with smallpox, you have to mention the time difference between the onset of the two.

Because cowpox strikes more quickly than smallpox.

Sufficient antibodies will be present in the body 10-14 days after vaccination, while the incubation period for smallpox is 12-14 days.

Therefore, if you get the vaccinia vaccine on the second day after accidentally contacting a patient, you will not get smallpox.

Most people will not get sick if you get vaccinated 3-7 days later, and symptoms can be alleviated if you get vaccinated 8-10 days later. If you get vaccinated after 10 days, it will be completely ineffective.

Now it has only been 6 days since the birth of the [Bird's Mouth Plague Doctor], and His Royal Highness was indirectly infected, so there is still enough time. ”

“Really? That's great!”

The senior officials of several indigenous city-states immediately turned their worries into joy.

Now, the theory is complete, and only practice is needed.

If the treatment is successful, Byron will have no problem getting the title of "Father of Immunology" based on this achievement alone.

“No, there is no if.

Just like the invention of the 'Tudor Hybrid', a major contribution that directly changed history can directly get the title effect without waiting for the legend to ferment.

There is no inventor of the vaccine in this world, and now I am the real [Father of Immunology]!

Plagiarism? Can this kind-hearted doctor be called plagiarism? "
