I am God Chapter 182: : Panacea
The house of the witch doctor.
Under the high hut, there appeared a series of stone houses.
From the six witch doctors who were lonely at the beginning, dozens of witch doctor apprentices gradually appeared.
The apprentices built a castle building on the other side of the drawbridge, calling it the Fort of Medicine.
They will take turns going out to see a doctor.
On weekdays, their tasks include helping the witch doctor with some experiments, dissecting human bodies or other animals, transcribing books, looking after experimental animals, making dissecting dolls, teaching new apprentices, and so on.
Life here is not easy, very busy.
Dozens of apprentices didn't stay here all the time. Some people thought they had learned enough things and left, returning to their hometown to become a qualified doctor and enjoy success and fame.
Some people wanted to learn more advanced knowledge, so they stayed.
Apprentices come and go.
The six witch doctors didn't keep anyone, but let everyone stay.
Witch doctors spend more time researching how to discover new species, and even create new life.
Occasionally, witch doctors can be seen returning from outside, bringing back newly discovered species to record.
This also made the six witch doctors travel around a lot of time, and rarely gathered together.
On this day, the apprentice who went out for medical treatment returned from the medical fort.
Lamps are lit in the dark, and apprentices gather together.
"There are more and more people on the other side of the bridge, and it's almost like a small town." The apprentice has some snacks from outside, and he thinks it looks good, not everyone likes life In a completely uninhabited wilderness.
"Many of the people who came to treat diseases recuperated in the house outside during the treatment, and stayed here directly after they got well." Someone explained the reason to the new apprentices.
"Also, the war outside is not over yet. Recently, many people have come to our side not to see a doctor, but because they have escaped." An apprentice who had just returned said with a sigh.
"Fleeing to such a remote wilderness?" This was an apprentice who hadn't stepped out for a long time and was immersed in medical skills. He was a little surprised when he heard the news.
"War is terrible! Those soldiers robbed everywhere and killed everyone they saw, no different from robbers." The apprentice explained.
"A war broke out in my hometown. I don't know what's going on now." Someone in the crowd narrated worriedly.
Lester was the one in the crowd. He was the first apprentice to come to the witch doctor's house, and he was also the one with the best medical skills and the most trusted by the six witch doctors.
Among these apprentices, Leicester has a very high prestige, and he will handle some important matters instead of the witch doctor.
On weekdays, he will take advantage of this moment of chatting to tell everyone some theoretical knowledge, allowing everyone to ask him questions and then answer them.
But today he is silent.
No one dared to disturb him, everyone saw that he was in a bad mood.
He held a letter in his hand, a letter from his hometown.
His relatives wrote to him, saying that there might be a war in Cross City soon.
The legion of the kingdom who came to suppress the rebellion and the armies of several great lords are about to start a decisive battle in this area. Tens of thousands of soldiers, priests, and monsters have already begun to fight among the dozens of cities and small towns and villages. , Remove the opponent's stronghold.
Cross City is the most important city, and it is currently in the hands of the rebels. His Majesty the King will never give up.
War.
Inevitable.
In any case, it is impossible for the civilians in the city to be unaffected, and it is even said that they are usually the ones who suffer the most damage.
"War!"
Lester didn't understand that they were trying their best to save people, while some people were trying their best to kill people.
How can there be such a strange thing in this world.
The next day, he asked the witch doctor named Left Hand during an experiment.
"Master Witch Doctor."
"What are you doing all these experiments for?"
"We seem to have no direction, just trying aimlessly."
The witch doctor told Lester: "We were born to find the meaning of life, and the meaning of life will not appear out of thin air, it exists in life."
"Inside those undiscovered lives, new lives."
Lester asked: "So what is the meaning of life?"
Witch doctor: "We are still looking."
Lester is really hard to understand: "Looking for something that I don't know what it is, so what is its significance? What can it bring us?"
Witch doctor: "It is precisely because I don't know that I am looking for it."
"As for what it can bring, that's another matter."
"It's our mission to find it."
Lester doesn't care about the mysteries of life. He just wants to learn the medical knowledge he wants here, and then return to his hometown to become a doctor who heals and saves lives.
No need to be powerless to watch patients in pain, no need to be blocked at the door and call them liars.
No need to fail due to lack of technology and knowledge, and be called a murder doctor.
Of course, besides this, he has some more ambitious goals.
Become a great physician who founded medicine, and then pass on your knowledge and discoveries, so that the name of physician is no longer associated with liars, but a profession that is truly admired.
He wants to be remembered.
He suddenly thought of the statue he saw when passing Anjo City.
Statue of Saint Stantito.
"Maybe."
"At that time, someone will erect such a statue for me, so that everyone who passes through Cross City can see me."
"They will salute in front of my statue and remember my name for generations."
It was also at this moment that Lester thought of going home.
He has learned everything he can learn, and the rest that cannot be learned involve extraordinary power.
However.
He was a little bit reconciled.
Go back like this?
Although he has learned a lot of medical skills, he has a very deep understanding of the structure of the human body.
He knows how to treat various injuries and diseases, he can use a knife to treat many diseases, and he knows how to use several plants to heal wounds and speed up the effect of treatment.
But so what?
Having seen the witch doctor's means of mastering life, he felt that these powers were so shallow.
They are still helpless for many serious diseases and injuries that endanger organs, and they need to rely on the power of witch doctors to treat them.
He clearly knew what would cause the death, but there was nothing he could do about it.
They learn from witch doctors and call themselves witch doctor apprentices.
Not a witch doctor.
Because the most powerful means of witch doctors is that they can create the elixir that can treat various diseases, and they can create various organs through strange powers.
Leste has asked the witch doctor many times: "How can I have such power?"
Witch doctors will only answer: "You can't learn it."
He didn't know if it was true, or if it was just the witch doctor's reluctance to impart that near miraculous power.
Just as he was deep in thought, the witch doctor suddenly said to Lester: "Go to the trilobite cultivation room and catch ten trilobites."
Leste nodded: "Okay, Mr. Witch Doctor."
After speaking, he walked out of the three-storey small building of the witch doctor's house, and walked across the street where the apprentices lived.
He came out into the mist.
The fog blocked the sun in the sky, and it looked a little dark and humid here,
There are various buildings in the fog, and faint shadows can be seen in the distance.
That's the outer layer of the witch doctor's house, the towering walls.
"Hiss!"
"Boom!"
Before I went in, I heard the slight sound of bugs, as well as the sound of crawling and hitting glass.
He walked into a building with the sign of Trilobite Cultivation Room, and there were tall glass cabinets inside.
The inside of the glass is sea water, and there are big and small trilobites wandering in the water.
The different glass cabinets are also hung with coarse woven labels, marking the differences between these trilobites.
This is the normal life collection and cultivation room, in addition to the modified life support room and the most rigorous extraordinary laboratory.
The common life cultivation room is collected from various places, most of which are naturally evolved.
Just looking at the pottery plaques hanging on the doors around the trilobite cultivation room, you can find creatures such as worms, trilobites, and cup worms, as well as some ancient cup creatures and crinoids. It is placed here as a specimen or test material.
Apprentices will help take care of these monsters and life created by doctors on a daily basis.
The transformation of the life feeding room is different, it is the creation of the witch doctor after conducting life experiments.
However, most of them are closely related to other creatures in nature, and many of them are not new species at all, but have some strange changes.
Lester had seen huge blood-sucking worms that grew to more than ten meters in length. The witch doctors didn't know how to make these things grow so big.
I also saw molluscs with various strange organs, bugs with legs that could walk on land, and even a man-eating plant that could swallow a clover.
You can only enter here with the permission of the witch doctor, because it is indeed dangerous.
As for the extraordinary laboratory, it is strictly forbidden for others to enter.
Because even if the monsters inside are imprisoned, you can hear their voices and be caught by them.
All may be controlled or lose their lives.
Lester held the jar containing the trilobites and came to the three-story building of the witch doctor, only to find that the witch doctor named Left Hand was already waiting there.
"You follow me."
"Other witch doctors are busy, today you just happened to be my assistant."
The witch doctor took him directly to the extraordinary laboratory.
This is the first time Leicester has come here. This building is completely underground, and it goes up and down through an elevator like a bone prison.
There is a small window on the elevator, and it stops every time it goes down.
When he got down to the first floor, he looked out through the small window.
It was a narrow passage, and on both sides of the passage were prison-like buildings, in which terrifying monsters were sealed off.
Even if they didn't make a sound or move, Lester felt a strong coercion shrouding his heart.
That is life's instinctive fear of extraordinary creatures.
The passage keeps going down, and there are many monsters imprisoned on each floor, and the more it goes down, the more dangerous it is.
When you go down to the last floor, there is a wide square.
The square is circular, with stone gates one after another, and each stone gate has a different pattern, marking their different functions.
Lester noticed the criss-crossing pipes above his head, and these pipes converged to the ground to form a huge water pipe with a diameter of several meters.
This huge pipeline leads to the sea and is connected to the bottom of the sea.
"It turns out that the water we use comes from this way."
For so many years in the witch doctor's house, Leicester has always used the water pipe that can get water as soon as the switch is turned on, but today he really knows how the water comes from.
It is these pipes that pump seawater to the various cultivation rooms and witch doctor huts on the ground, supplying everyone's use, as well as cultivation experiments.
As for how to extract it, it must involve extraordinary power, Leicester can't figure it out.
Lester asked: "Master Witch Doctor! What experiment are we doing today?"
The witch doctor replied: "Make a three-leaf man."
Lester was taken aback: "What?"
He thought he had heard something wrong.
The witch doctor just had a whim, they have already carried out the transformation of life, and have created an extraordinary life with an unstable lifespan and a very short lifespan.
Then can they create a kind of Sanye people derived from the power of life, an intelligent race of power of life?
This idea came to him suddenly when he saw Lester just now.
Just do it as soon as you think about it.
It doesn't matter even if it fails, it's the first time to experiment anyway.
The witch doctor pushed open a stone door, and the ground inside had already been carved with a corresponding ritual array.
"Leicester."
"Take out a trilobite and put it on top."
The witch doctor took out a stone, an irregular blood-red stone.
There is a mirror-like luster on it, and the transparent glue is so strong that it feels like water will drip out.
"What is this?" It wasn't the first time Lester had seen this stone, but this was the first time he had the courage to ask.
In his opinion, such things must involve the most fundamental secrets of witch doctors.
If you ask a question rashly, it may cause dissatisfaction among the witch doctors.
He had seen the witch doctor take out this before, and in the blink of an eye, he created a heart, a large amount of blood, and copied the organs of the three-leaf man.
He saw that the witch doctors held it in one hand, and with the other hand, they were able to completely put out the fire of patients who were obviously dead but not completely dead.
Lester saw it too.
The witch doctor used this stone to turn some weak life species into terrifying monsters that could easily devour and kill the Sanye people in the blink of an eye.
"You can call it a life bloodstone." The witch doctor replied.
This thing is like the legendary panacea of doctors.
Can heal all wounds.
Rebirth of broken limbs, resurrection of the dying, and creation of life.
In front of it, everything seems extremely easy.
The apprentices in the Witch Doctor House often say that the Witch Doctors wield the power of elixirs, the strange powders they create with the Bone God spell.
It is proof.
In fact, this is the solid solidified by the mythical blood of life power.
The ceremony begins.
The life-blood stone that the witch doctor placed on the ritual array flowed blood-red light, and poured it into the body of the trilobite.
The reminder of the trilobite continued to swell, but it was obvious that it would soon be unable to bear the force.
The witch doctor only produced a large trilobite worm, and it died shortly after it was born.
The experiment failed, or exactly as the witch doctor expected.
The witch doctor shook his head and said calmly.
"Creating intelligent life, this is indeed the power of the gods!"
"God can create trilobites out of trilobites, we are far from reaching this point."
"What? You said this thing is our ancestor?" Lester felt that this statement was really funny.
"Don't you think they are very similar to you?" Lester didn't even notice that the other party was talking about you.
"Where does it look, Mr. Witch Doctor, stop joking." Lester couldn't accept this statement.
They are Sanye people.
The darling of the gods, the ruler of the earth, how could it be a bug.
The witch doctor looked at him with great interest, and talked about another piece of evidence.
"That!"
"Why do you call yourself Sanye?"
"And they just happen to be called trilobites?"
"These two names were given by the gods."
That's what the witch doctors said, but the Sanye people didn't believe it: "It just happens to have the same name."
The witch doctor didn't bother with this problem.
He put the dead body of the test subject into a glass jar under mental control, and then left the laboratory with the jar.
"You wait here for me."
The witch doctor named Left Hand left, and Lester looked around boredly.
Suddenly, he discovered that the red stone was still placed on the ritual array.
He froze for a moment, and then picked up the stone as if by accident.
Irregular stones have a gelatinous texture, smooth and greasy to the touch.
It doesn't look solid either.
"Boom!"
As soon as he exerted force, a small piece of stone was buckled from the stone.
He panicked immediately, and after thinking for a while, he immediately put the small piece that was buckled into his pocket.
He had just put the stone down on the spot when he heard footsteps outside.
"Lester!"
"I'm here." Lester responded immediately, but his body was a little stiff, and he spoke in a hurry.
The witch doctor came in and packed up his things, and then said to Lester.
"Go!"
"Up."
Lester followed the doctor, but his mind was involuntarily concentrated in his pocket.
Excitement.
A few days later, news came from outside that the Dark River region had been completely recovered by the kingdom.
The head of the rebellious lord was beheaded and sent to the city of the gods.
The war is over.
At this time, Lester also proposed to the witch doctors the idea of leaving the witch doctor's house.
"Lester!"
"How long have you been here?"
The witch doctor named Left Hand asked him. This witch doctor was friendly to the Sanye people and trusted Lester very much.
In a sense, he is Leicester's teacher.
Although Lester has always called him Mr. Witch Doctor, or Mr. Left Hand.
Lester said: "Almost ten years."
The witch doctor nodded: "Ten years."
"For you, it should be a very long time."
"It's time to go home."
Ten years is just a blink of an eye for witch doctors, but for ordinary people, ten years is not much in life.
Especially, when young and in good health.
The left-handed witch doctor stood up and patted Lester's shoulder with his gloved hand.
"I hope that the knowledge you have learned in the witch doctor's house can become the power to realize your ideals."
"However."
"Power does not distinguish between good and evil. If he can save people, he can kill people."
"I hope you can really make good use of it."
Lester nodded: "Master Left Hand, I will."
After speaking, the witch doctor gave him a gift.
A blood red worm in a jar.
Lester asked the witch doctor: "What is this?"
"Vampire worm?"
The witch doctor shook his head: "This is my latest creation, it is an extraordinary life."
"But don't worry, it doesn't do any harm."
"As long as you feed it, it can store blood in its body, and the blood it stores can be replaced with blood that matches anyone."
"When you need it, you can make suitable blood by following the method I said."
Needless to say, Lester certainly knows how important and powerful this is as a medical tool.
Most of the seriously injured died because of excessive blood loss.
When performing surgery on humans, it is also inseparable from the blood supply.
With this blood-sucking worm, he can let go.
The witch doctor treated him very well, which made Lester suddenly feel guilty about his previous behavior, but he still did not hand over the life blood stone he stole.
"Thank you!"
"Master Witch Doctor."
--------------------
Cross City.
Lester rode a three-wheeled trailer loaded with boxes.
The familiar cross avenue, the ancient mottled city wall appeared in the distance.
"Finally back."
Lester jumped down a little excitedly, and pushed the car towards the front.
He looked at the surrounding scenery, every stone here, a mountain peak in the distance.
All can bring back his memories.
A war broke out here not long ago. In order to compete for this rich and strategically important city, the two sides used the power of the priesthood.
There are large pits on the city wall, and some of them still show signs of collapse.
It was also after this battle that the rebels had no more resistance, and the king's legion went all the way deep into the Dark River region, regaining the last lost ground.
Lester pushed the trailer to the city gate, paid the city entrance tax and entered.
The guard at the gate of the city said to his companions while checking, "The war is finally over, and more and more people are coming back."
The companion responded: "After fighting for so many years, it's time to stop."
As the rebellion was quelled, peace came again.
But when Leicester entered the city, he saw a mess.
The prosperity is gone.
Several years of war, non-production, and the severance of commercial routes have caused the people in this city to escape to death, and the rest of the people are not living well.
There are beggars and orphans left by the war everywhere, and there are many people with broken hands and legs on the streets, these are the wounded left over from the war.
"It's shocking!"
Lester was a little worried, but he also believed that as long as peace came, everything would be restored.
Lester returned to his home, and just as he opened the door of his home, a voice came from behind him.
The neighbor across the door looked at him, but did not recognize Lester: "Who are you?"
Lester felt funny and sad: "I am Lester!"
The other party looked at him carefully, and then finally remembered.
The other party rushed over, looked at him from head to toe, then pointed at him and said loudly.
"Are you Lester?"
"The Lester who went to learn medicine from the witch doctor?"
Leste nodded: "It's me."
Immediately, shouts came from the street: "Lester is back!"
"Lester is back."
"The Lester who went to practice medicine with witch medicine is back."
On this street, Leicester can also be regarded as a famous figure.
Like the Vivien sisters on the other street, he is a character that people in his hometown are proud of, a name that people in his hometown often mention and a topic of conversation when they chat.
A large number of people suddenly poured out of the streets and alleys, and they looked over here.
The quiet street suddenly became extremely lively.
"You are back."
"How many years have you been away?"
"How was your life with the witch doctor? Did you really learn the spell that can resurrect the dead?"
The news is always getting more and more outrageous.
In the eyes of the people in his hometown, Leicester seems to be no longer a mortal, but a person who has mastered some magical and secret technique, and is a person who can fight against death.
Lester felt a little funny, so he could only explain.
"I am studying medicine."
"It's not a magic spell."
People in my hometown think it is similar. Is there any difference between witch doctor's medical skills and magical skills?
Besides, they can't see or touch divine arts, but medical arts can be seen and touched, and they can save their lives.
Lester sighed a little as he looked at all the familiar faces.
"Everyone has changed a lot!"
When they left that year, these people were still in their prime, and many of them were still children.
When he came back, many people were already old.
The children back then had grown up and looked at him strangely, as if looking at some legendary figure.
"Is he that Leicester?"
"Lester, who is so skilled in medicine that he can save the dead?"
"I said it all, he is the most powerful one at the witch doctor's hut."
"I heard that Vivien's sister was guided by him to go to the witch doctor, and Vivien's sister survived, and later she had the opportunity to go to the Temple of Truth."
Looking at the expectant eyes of the people in his hometown, Lester stood on the steps in front of the house.
He said to everyone.
"Tell everyone one thing, I will not leave this time when I come back."
"I will build my own clinic here and treat everyone in the future."
"If you have any difficulties or problems, you can come to my clinic or find me at home."
The crowd burst into cheers. It is a good thing for the entire Cross City to have a doctor from the witch doctor's house.
If there is any serious injury or disease in the future, there is no need to wait for death.
Leicester's hospital is located on this street, and it is named Leicester's hospital.
First year.
Have a very big reputation.
He can save seriously injured and dying people from the brink of death, and he can solve all kinds of incredible and difficult diseases through miraculous surgery.
The various methods he used, to ordinary people, seemed like divine arts and magic. They were extremely mysterious, but they could save lives.
He is the enemy of death and the savior of the sick.
"Holy Hand Lester."
That's what Leicester was called, and his reputation grew.
Not only the people in Cross City recognized his medical skills, but the dignitaries regarded him as a guest.
Even patients from outside the city flocked to see him at the infirmary in Leicester.
The second year.
The Leicester Medical Institute was expanded and turned into a huge medical fort, located in the most prominent position in the city.
He has also taken in many apprentices. There are dozens of them in the medical fort, and they receive and treat a large number of patients every day.
The third year.
He married a wife and started a family of his own.
His life is happy and complete, and Lester is satisfied with his life.
But he still has something unsatisfactory, and that is his medical skills.
Lester's home is full of records of various treatment cases, and the shelves are full of various medical books. This is not like a home, but more like another hospital.
His wife is also a physician, one of his admirers.
At the same time, his wife is also responsible for helping to organize his medical skills into a book.
This is Leicester's greatest ambition.
Let him carry forward his medical skills and become the founder of medical skills among all the people.
This day.
When Lester returned home, he sat down on the chair a little dejectedly.
"What's wrong?"
Lester: "A patient died today, and I can't save him."
The wife comforted him: "This is normal, you are not a god, how can you save everyone."
Lester looked at his wife: "Do you think my medical skills are good?"
The wife looked at him adoringly and put her arms around his neck.
"Of course."
"You are the most powerful doctor I have ever seen."
Lester shook his head: "But it's too far behind the witch doctor."
"Even the most powerful doctor can't compare with the witch doctor."
"No."
"It's even worse than one of their little fingers."
He let go of his wife's hand and came to the closed building behind the yard.
Many seabed plants are cultivated here, and many bugs are raised in a huge glass cover.
Open a secret door and enter the secret room below.
It's completely different here.
There are a lot of bottles and jars here, and there are various internal organs in the jars.
And the most conspicuous.
It is a **** worm, which was a gift from Leicester's teacher, the left-handed witch doctor.
It is precisely because of it that Leicester was able to establish his own reputation in Cross City so quickly, becoming the "Holy Hand" that everyone sent.
Lester opened the table and took out the contents.
This is a red stone the size of a fingernail, but such a small piece has unparalleled vitality.
"Life Stone."
"Stone that represents the power of life, what other miracles can you create?"
Lester has been studying the function of this life bloodstone and the power of blood-sucking worms.
Vampire worms can reproduce blood, and life bloodstones are also a kind of blood.
It's just that the power of the life blood stone is too strong and too unstable.
He has been trying to create a medicine that has the power of the life blood stone but is more stable by fusing the powers of the two.
Something that heals any wound and cures all kinds of ailments.
It's like the bone meal that witch doctors have created to cure diseases, and it's like the panacea that doctors have passed on by word of mouth.
"The panacea."
"I will definitely be able to create a real panacea."
Lester looked at the red stone.
Red seems to have a special power, with a strong temptation, people can't help but fall into it.
It represents both death and life.
Despair and hope can be seen in this color.
"The power of the witch doctor cannot be passed on to everyone."
"Then I will use my own way to create our own power."
