Lord Diberio has a square face, his slender eyes are full of smiles, and his two carefully groomed beards are also curled upward.
"Look, our Scottish hero Arthur, he is finally here. You won't mind if I call you that!"
"Of course it is an honor, my lord."
Arthur was polite and not as difficult to get along with as rumored, which made DiBerio very happy.
Then he immediately said to Professor Bell: "Old classmate, you have cultivated a hero for Scotland, and you should also be commended!"
Arthur didn't expect that the two of them were classmates, but looking at his appearance, DiBerio was obviously much younger than Professor Bell.
Professor Bell was not as casual as meeting an old friend, but immediately and respectfully replied: "This is all Arthur's own efforts. Of course, if you are still in school, Lord, Arthur will definitely be there." With your help, we can make a greater contribution to Scotland.”
DiBerio listened to the compliment and smiled, but did not say anything more to Professor Bell. Instead, he pointed at Arthur to the two people on the side.
"Come on, Arthur, let me introduce you to the most famous microbiologist in France, Professor Louis Pasteur."
56-year-old Louis Pasteur has gray hair, but he has a pair of bright eyes and a meticulous and serious face.
Arthur quickly extended his hand, "Professor, it's an honor to meet you."
Looking at Arthur, who was younger than his own son, Pasteur couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Lordship just made a ridiculous compliment. Britain is already ahead of the world in terms of microorganisms. Now I am here to learn from you as a student."
Pasteur lowered his body very low, and Diberio smiled and stroked his beautiful beard: It seems that the cholera in France is indeed what the intelligence said, and many people died this time. .
But seeing Arthur made him feel very distressed. This time he could make a lot of money from the Frenchman, but in the end, he gave it all away for nothing.
DiBerio then introduced Arthur to the German microbiologist Robert Koch.
Robert Koch is only 35 years old this year, but he looks very mature, especially the few strands of brown curly hair left on his head, which makes him look more like an old scholar who has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
But Arthur knew that this Koch was even more powerful than Professor Pasteur in France. He had just proved that Bacillus anthracis was the cause of anthrax two years ago, and it was he who actually discovered Vibrio cholerae in history.
Koch was not as humble as Pasteur, but he still had great respect for Arthur.
Arthur had already made his paper public before. This time he knew the two would come, so he copied his experimental notes to them, which would also allow them to obtain research results faster.
The two of them were naturally happy and grateful. The three of them had a very lively discussion about microbiology and medicine as if there was no one else around.
And no one else could get in the conversation at all, including Professor Lutz John from Oxford University. It’s just that microbiology in this era is indeed a subject with a very high threshold.
The three people's heated discussion was finally interrupted by Lord DiBerio, and then medical professors from various places began to come on stage to explain their new discoveries and research.
This kind of speech, which was similar to asking for funding, made Arthur feel boring.
After Arthur finished his speech, he was feeling a little bored in the audience, when Matthew Chakris, the director of pharmacy, quietly came to his side.
"Arthur, do you have time?"
Seeing that it was Matthew, Arthur couldn't help but secretly said: "He's finally here!"
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
"I want to take you to meet some people."
Arthur really didn't want to deal with this person, but as an invitation from a professor at his school, Arthur couldn't refuse.
In this way, Matthew took him to the edge of the court, where four people were waiting for him, holding glasses.
Arthur frowned slightly. There were old and young among the four people, and the young one among them was a classmate one year younger than him.
"Hello, Senior Doyle, do you still know me?"
Arthur smiled and nodded, "Jose Harin, of course I remember you."
The Harlem family was also a famous family in Scotland. Of course, in this era, those who could study in Edinburgh had to be middle class like the Arthur family, and there were not a few nobles among them.
Jose Harlem felt very honored to see that Arthur recognized him, and introduced the middle-aged man next to him: "This is my father, Joey Harlem."
Arthur didn't know what these people were doing, so he could only deal with it in a subtle way: "Hello, Mr. Harlem!"
"Hello, Doyle. I brought you here today because I want to ask your help for something."
Joey Harlin was unexpectedly quick-tongued and had a slightly aggressive demeanor.
However, Arthur was not a child. He was a forensic doctor before traveling through time, so he did not take Joey Harlin's threats seriously.
He just asked very calmly: "I wonder, Mr. Harlem, what help do you need from me?"
Seeing Arthur's lukewarm attitude, Joey Harlin couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
"I'm Scotland Yard's secret police, and I'd like you to work with Ted to create a strain of cholera."
Arthur couldn't help but be surprised. Scotland Yard was not in Scotland, but the London Police Station. It was named Scotland Yard because it was located on Scotland Avenue.
The secret police is another name for spies and agents.
Arthur was still shocked at why the person in front of him easily revealed his identity to him.
At this time, the middle-aged man next to him took the initiative to reach out to him, "Hello Arthur, I am Ted Chaklis. I have a laboratory in the suburbs. The equipment there is very advanced. I would like to ask you to help me." We grew the cholera bacteria as quickly as possible."
It was the Chakris family again, and Arthur was already very disgusted with this family.
There are only two possibilities for cultivating inoculum. One is to use it as a weapon to spread it everywhere, and the other is to use it as a seedling for research.
However, cholera vaccination is not as simple as cowpox. Arthur believes that even Pasteur and Koch, the three of them together, would not be able to successfully develop it in a short time.
Then there is only one possibility left, that is, they want to use this germ as a biochemical weapon and throw it into the rear of the hostile camp.
Arthur only felt a chill, and he didn't know yet whether this was Joey Harlin's personal intention, or whether there was someone secretly supporting him behind the scenes.
This made him afraid to think about it anymore.
"Can I ask about your intention in cultivating cholera strains?"
Ted seemed to have known that Arthur would ask this question, and said in a mysterious manner: "This is a secret, I can't tell you yet."
Arthur spread his hands and said, "Then forgive me, I can only refuse again."
Joey Harlin on the side narrowed his eyes dangerously, then approached Arthur and said coldly: "We will come back to you again."
After saying that, several people left the reception directly.
