Studying plagues is taboo, which is one of the reasons why necromancers are unpopular. Because the reputation of the Undead Scourge is really bad.
But magicians who study life and cure may also cause uncontrollable plagues due to mistakes. The several pandemics that have ravaged the land were all caused in this way. In comparison, the undead natural disaster is an intuitive threat, and everyone knows how to react. But the plague caused by out-of-control magic caused heavy casualties by the time people were alerted.
The above is what most people understand.
Anyone who is truly interested in saving lives will know that some diseases only exist in a small area, but they are contagious, and the possibility of death after contracting the disease is very high. What's more important is that today's fans don't know the cause of these diseases. They say they are caused by nature. What are the causes? It is said that it is some necromancers' plague research, where is the evidence?
Most people's concept is to blame the cause of disease on the god of disease, the god of the Lord of the Underworld. This is a concept shaped by fear.
And the known treatments appear to be limited. Certain herbs can save some people, but not others. In addition, there are all kinds of weird treatment methods, which are difficult to describe. The same thing is, those strange methods, like herbal remedies, don't work for everyone.
If the lich in front of him just keeps talking about these terrible diseases, maybe the twenty-four magicians below will attack on the spot and kill the evil. But the lesions, main causes of infection, routes of infection, prevention methods, symptoms, and treatment methods can all tell something. Although not every item is complete, the meaning to these people will be completely different.
For a long time, the only means of dealing with diseases in the Lost Lands were various potions and secret recipes, and the magic of gods. There was not much that magic could do. However, herbal medicine may cure a disease or cure a person's life, but most of the time it is of no help at all.
Divine magic also has its limits, or levels. There are many gods who can give magical powers to treat diseases, but generally monks can only cure minor illnesses, such as coughing, sneezing, diarrhea, weakness of limbs, etc., or minor illnesses caused by the curse of the God of Disease.
When encountering serious illnesses, such as high fever, coma, amputated limbs, severe poisons, etc., you may need a higher-level priest, so that the treatment of the disease can be effective.
No matter how serious it is, someone at the bishop level must take action, and the living dead, flesh and bones, and severed limbs may be reborn. But even so, there are still diseases that cannot be cured by magic. At this time, people in the church usually say that the curse is too deep and powerful, and it is difficult to eradicate; or the patient is not pious enough, so the gods are unwilling to respond to his request to restore health.
Despite this, disease was not taken seriously in Midland. The reason is that first, the physique of the Homo sapiens species is quite excellent, and unqualified individuals will be eliminated at an early age.
Just like the reason why child mortality was quite high in an era when medicine on earth was underdeveloped, it was because the body's physical condition was not good enough, and it was easy for people to get sick and die while growing up, and they had no chance to grow up with the disease. So as long as they are adults, they are mostly 'healthy'.
Second, there are so many dangers, both natural and unnatural, that most people have no chance to worry about such a 'little thing' as death from disease. Usually before that, they will die from direct or indirect damage caused by monster attacks or wars. Of course, there are also troubles caused by magic or magicians, such as natural disasters of the undead, or the Master accidentally throwing a forbidden spell.
Even though most people in Lost Land don't care about diseases, they only care about Warcraft or war. But for those who are interested in saving lives, disease, like the other two, cannot be ignored.
In particular, the long-term torture caused by illness and the pressure on those around him are far from being comparable to the short-term damage caused by war or monster attacks. In order to avoid this situation, in some remote places, there is a bad habit of taking seriously ill people into the mountains and forests and abandoning them.
If these diseases could be prevented, or if there were more accurate ways to treat them...
Thinking of this, the old scholars sitting below couldn't hold back their excitement, and even forgot the etiquette in the classroom, or the respect they should maintain when facing a person who imparts knowledge. They immediately raised their own questions, wanting evidence that could prove everything the Lich said, even purely emotional statements.
The whole classroom suddenly became noisy, even worse than those children who had just come to the enlightenment class.
Fen just snapped her fingers and silenced everyone in the classroom except her. No matter how much I opened my mouth, no sound came out.
At this time, everyone realized another thing. The person in front of them was a lich who was once called the "Devil King" and was more than a thousand years old. Everyone still doesn't know how deep her magical power is; but everyone understands that their lives are now in the hands of the other party. A magician who has been silenced is no better than a fish on the chopping board.
What you can do at this time, besides trying your best to escape, is to quietly cooperate with the caster's request, and maybe there will be a chance.
Seeing that everyone calmed down and did not release the silence spell, Fen then said: "As for your suggestion, I can't prove that these bacteria are the main cause of the disease. Or I can ask the other way around: Can you find other Do you want to deny my point of view as the cause of disease? Don’t talk about things caused by divine power to make people laugh. We are all magicians, and we blame God for things that we don’t understand. There is no lazier behavior.—"
Fen himself changed the picture on the water mirror screen, which was a collection of pictures of the death village.
"——As for those who doubt my connection with these villages. I can only say that the destruction of these villages was not caused by me; I just went to observe, sample and record. And I did not have the ability to treat people at that time, unless you I thought it was a good idea for me to resurrect the entire village into undead beings. But basically I didn’t want to run around with those burdens, and I didn’t want to let my creations run around after being resurrected, so I basically ignored those villages. The ending.——"
There are people constantly opening up wasteland in the Lost Land, some are standing firm, and some are burying their bones in the wild. Therefore, in the process of traveling, I often heard the news of the destruction of a certain village. There are many reasons, including attacks by monsters, unknown strange diseases, and the inability to obtain enough food for the winter. That's why adventurers, professionals who deal with difficult problems, are needed to protect these civilizations outside the city walls.
In other words, the scene seen by the lich in front of him did not need to be deliberately created at all. It was simply the daily life of the lost land.
Finally, Fen replaced it with two pictures that were juxtaposed together and everyone just found them baffling. Only Lin knew its significance. The picture on the left shows a moldy orange, and it has a single strain of bacteria and is not colorful. The picture on the right is mold under a microscope.
"——As for the treatment methods. In addition to those unknown herbal secrets, I have also made preliminary discoveries on possible types of drugs. Some of the extracts from the moldy parts of some moldy foods can kill bacteria. And moldy food After microscopically enlarging the part of it, as shown in the picture on the right, I called it 'mold'. But because I didn't have a stable environment to study during the journey, I didn't make much progress in this regard. The main thing is that there is no way to mass Collect the mold and confirm which component of the extract is truly effective and can be made into a drug that kills bacteria. Moreover, the amount of the extract is not enough to supply the amount needed to treat the human body. These parts still need to be studied in the future. "
As soon as the magicians who were speechless listened to Fen's explanation of his expectations for the future, their eyes lit up. If this thing really succeeds, it will not only save countless people, but also gain a lot of fame.
For most magicians who have reached the end of their lives, apart from the desire to save lives and heal the wounded, they only care about their posthumous reputation. In other words, can we leave any legacy that will truly benefit the world? It's not that when you die, everything you have done and established will be scattered with the wind, as if it never happened.
So all the thoughts of being silenced by the silence spell and having his life threatened were thrown out of the window. Everyone is full of energy and wants to achieve something in this new knowledge.
Of course Fen could understand the desire in the eyes of the people below. While lifting the magic of silence, he said: "But don't think too much for the time being. If you don't have enough knowledge that you should have, I don't need to explain the harm caused by doing it blindly. At least you have to Understand that there are many drugs that can simply kill bacteria, but drugs that can kill bacteria may also be poisons that can kill normal human cells. How to find drugs that only target bacteria without causing harm to the human body? First understand the differences between them and the mechanism of their operation. These are all in the courses scheduled to be taught later. And of course, as a magician, these are not the only things you can do."
At this time, Fen used the whiteboard technique to construct a rather complex spell model in mid-air. Because the ability to cast spells has been restored, not to mention self-protection, there is no big problem in escaping. Therefore, everyone below did not panic too much, but calmed down to see what this person wanted to do.
Although the spell model is complex, it is a magic that everyone present is familiar with - advanced healing. Some people also call this magic 'rebirth of severed limbs'. Non-apprentice level magic, even for a formal magician, would be difficult to learn. Because this magic is a high-level tactical magic derived from the undead, and is used for 'limb regeneration' on corpse-like undead.
As long as there is 'enough' power support, any kind of disability can be restored to its original state, but there is still the possibility of failure. But the 'enough' here is not something that can be consumed by just a few magic stones.
Compared with divine spells with the same effect, the price to pay for magic is much greater. So much so that this magic has only a reference value. Even if the magicians themselves are in need, they would rather spend money to find the Lord of Life Priest of the Church of Three Holy Lights.
Looking at the spell model in mid-air, Fen collected his thoughts and said: "The healing spells and disease treatment in divine magic correspond to limb injuries and diseases respectively. But in the field of magic, there is only one that corresponds to limb injuries. There is no magic for curing diseases. This has always been the case during the thousand years since I was banned. There are so many researchers but there is no breakthrough in magic, but has anyone ever thought about why?"
