Episode 724
Arrived at Laua.
Jin Cheon-hee arrived at a small inn and unpacked her luggage.
The first thing to find out is the correlation between blood missions and rinderpest.
‘The ultimate goal of these guys is to sacrifice people.’
It is simply the process that causes disease in cows.
‘According to the letter, it looks like they are gathering healthy cattle from all over as I requested.’
In order to make a vaccine for rinderpest, materials were needed to prepare it, and time was needed to implement it.
What Jin Cheon-hee wants to do is the immune serum method.
The modern method is difficult.
However, it is barely possible with current technology to make it based on the early immune serum method discovered in the late 1800s and published in 1918.
‘If we don’t understand the blood mission during the preparation time on the ground, everything will be in vain.’
The epidemic was like that.
The game does not end when a vaccine is created.
People and people and society draw the whole picture.
Because the vaccine simply meant that we had finally reached the starting point of this fight.
‘Even the starting point requires preparation.’
Jin Cheon-hee gave beef jerky to Noe-jin, who had come a long way.
Beep!
At that moment, a bead of lightning emerged from the black feathers of the thunderbolt.
Creep!
“careful!”
He quickly used gold energy to induce lightning and used wood to scatter the lightning.
Beep?
I couldn’t understand the concussion.
Until now, brain power was only capable of striking lightning from the sky, but now it is possible to emit various brain energy on the spot.
Nevertheless, Jin Cheon-hee dismissed it so easily with her eyes closed.
“You… must learn to control your powers. “Because people could get hurt.”
Stare at the concussion with closed eyes.
The appearance of a blind musician.
Even though my appearance had changed and half my face was covered in bandages, a strange sense of intimidation came over me.
Beep beep!
Nojin flapped his wings hastily.
“okay. You’re not going to attack people carelessly, are you? “At this level, even if you pass by, someone will die.”
I can control it. Just now I was expressing that the jerky was so delicious. I fluttered and shook it hard.
“okay. thank god.”
How on earth did I understand this with my eyes closed?
I couldn’t figure it out.
However, I knew that Jin Cheon-hee was not a very kind person.
Things like attacking people were stricter than anyone else’s, and sometimes it was scary.
“Concussion. You have more power than a warrior, but you have to be just as careful. I don’t even want mental training. But you shouldn’t kill someone just for fun.”
Beep beep beep!
“huh. thank god.”
So I calmed down the concussion and came out.
For some reason, the inn owner was waiting for Jin Cheon-hee.
“I heard you are blind. Are you able to command?”
It is a folk belief that started with the belief that blind people who can see fortunes will be able to chase away ghosts.
I heard that there are often people who have actually learned witchcraft.
Jin Cheon-hee asked this without answering yes or no.
“What’s going on?”
“If you were a traveling musician, wouldn’t you know that? Have you ever heard a rumor that an evil spirit haunts you? “It came all the way to our village.”
Evil spirit!
I have already come across information that rinderpest is believed to be the work of evil spirits.
“There are shamans in our village too… but I thought two would be better than one. “How could it not be?”
“Let’s give it a try.”
Jin Cheon-hee accepted without hesitation.
Even if it wasn’t, I wanted to check the rinderpest myself.
* * *
Just right, right, right.
Jin Cheon-hee moved forward, diligently fumbling with the cane that her teacher had made.
Moowoo-
The place we arrived at was the local traditional livestock farm.
‘also.’
There were several cows there, but three were already dead and cold.
Even the living cows were not in normal condition.
Jin Cheon-hee purified her body with a fire extinguisher and went straight to the cows.
‘Rinderpest is difficult to recognize through clinical symptoms alone. In modern times, you have to go to a laboratory to find out.’
Still, there are some symptoms that can be seen with the naked eye.
“I haven’t eaten recently and I keep panting. I feel depressed. And those three guys over there died quickly.”
The owner of the stable came next to me and said, trembling.
Even though the people were safe, it was understandable to be horrified to see the cow dying in such a bizarre manner.
Especially in an era where there is no scientific knowledge about infectious diseases.
That’s probably why they didn’t even remove the body.
‘fear. fear. Ominous for evil spirits.’
Haven’t you already seen it several times in the Five Readings?
“okay. “I need to find out if there really is an evil spirit, so I want to be alone for a while.”
“Ah yes! Of course it should be so. “I will tell everyone else not to come!”
And so the innkeeper left.
Jin Cheon-hee approached the live cows. Then, he slowly lifted the bandage around his eyes.
Blue eyes quickly scan the cow.
“hi?”
Mumu-
“If it’s emergency plastic surgery anyway, there’s no way. I think we can only diagnose the acute form…”
If it is the acute form of rinderpest, the person will develop a high fever and die suddenly within 2-3 days of the onset of the disease.
It wasn’t for nothing that people misunderstood that I was possessed by an evil spirit.
Jin Cheon-hee confirmed that there were no eyes around her and immediately put on gloves and a mask. Then, I observed the shape of the cow’s eyes and the discharge of snot and drool.
Then, the patient opened the mouth to check for necrosis under the cheek and tongue.
The necrotic area on the cow had already grown to an irreparable extent.
‘Severe odor and even diarrhea. It’s as written. But if you look at this, the symptoms are similar to foot-and-mouth disease.’
Lastly, after a long period of sedation, even the dead cows were examined one by one.
‘Foot-and-mouth disease has a lower fatality rate than rinderpest. In the end, we have no choice but to judge through literature and historical facts.’
Foot-and-mouth disease and rinderpest are similar on the surface. So, originally, it would have been necessary to go to the laboratory.
Even though it wasn’t my major, I felt like I was dying trying to bring in knowledge about the Earth.
If it weren’t for Hyeonwonjeondanshingong, everything would have ended without me even being able to use my hands.
‘There was chaos in Jijoncheonma due to drought, epidemics, and livestock dying, so it seems that the rinderpest that was here has reached the central plains.’
Then I heard a voice from behind.
“The innkeeper did something useless.”
It’s a cold, low voice. However, it was also a very pleasant voice to listen to.
Jin Cheon-hee lowered the bandage to cover her eyes and looked back.
Still, it wasn’t that difficult to see the other person through the bandages.
“who are you?”
The other person was taller than Jin Cheon-hee and was wearing scantily clad clothing.
He wore a large goat skull on his head like a hat or helmet, and his white-skinned, muscular body was tattooed with various patterns to the point that he was thought to be an albino.
He wears a pair of pants that are almost like shorts, and has a furry wolf skin wrapped around his neck like a cape. A man with a strange feeling who wears bracelets and necklaces made of animal bone pieces on his arms and neck.
Even at first glance, he seemed to be a person involved in witchcraft.
“I am the magician whose territory is five villages in this area. Who are you? To come to another magician’s realm and disturb his power as he pleases. “That’s not polite.”
‘Was there such a etiquette?’ It was Jin Cheon-hee whom I wanted to see. I learned witchcraft, but I have never worked as a witch doctor. How can I know?
Moreover, what does it mean to have it as an area?
Is there some sort of agreement?
In any case, it’s like stepping into someone else’s business.
It was natural to feel bad.
Jin Cheon-hee quietly responded to the other person’s expressionless expression of displeasure.
“I am just a traveling musician passing by and came here after receiving a favor from the inn owner… I just didn’t know there was a shaman.”
“I guess it was because I was wandering around that I didn’t know it was my territory. If so, step away. “I will consciously save these people.”
“Oh, it looks like you have a cure?”
Maybe there is a cure unique to this martial planet?
If that were possible, there might not be a need to wrestle with papers from the early 1900s.
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes sparkled.
“of course. “Get out of the way.”
“I’ll get out of the way. “But can I at least observe?”
“I allow that much.”
It seems that among shamans, it is okay to show one’s rituals.
Anyway, it was something Jin Cheon-hee was happy to do, so she stepped back and checked what was going on.
The shaman strode towards the dead cow.
He then took out a primitive stone knife that seemed to be made of obsidian from inside his cloak.
With it, he cut the skin of a dead cow and made it bleed.
Apply it to your hands and sprinkle it on the barn floor.
A strange combination of patterns and circles surrounding a dead cow were drawn, and he raised the dagger and cut his own palm.
‘Oh, that one. Even if it’s not rinderpest, it can be infected
with various germs…’ The doctor’s will to stop him is rising, but he holds back. Meanwhile, the magic ritual begins.
“Tree. Tree. Tree. Here is something for you to eat. Tree. Tree. Tree. Here I give you three cows. Eat. Eat. Eat. You will suck the vitality, chew the vitality and swallow it. Make a deal. Make a deal. Make a deal. “Tree, bear your fruit and give it to me.”
Jin Cheon-hee looked.
Inside the circle drawn by the shaman, I saw something that looked like a tree root sticking out, something that ordinary people couldn’t see.
Something that cannot be seen has appeared unless one has reached the state of enlightenment or what is called spiritual eyes.
It extends to the carcass of a cow that has fallen due to rinderpest and roots into the carcass.
And it moved sloppily as if it was sucking something in.
The surprising thing happens after that.
The cow’s body began to dry out like a mummy.
‘The cow is definitely dead… but its vitality has not completely disappeared. Corruption is also a kind of life activity. That kind of vitality is sucked out through magic. It’s amazing…’
Eventually, the cow’s corpse became completely dry, with the bones and skin sticking together.
And before he knew it, several dark red fruits had grown in the shaman man’s hands.
“bantling. “Did you see it well?”
The shaman smiled triumphantly.
Witchcraft fruit!
Jin Cheon-hee also knew that something like that existed while learning about witchcraft.
I just didn’t know how to make it or the magic spell.
And the shaman took it and fed it to each living cow.
Then, the bodies of the cows, which had been lethargic, swelled and suddenly regained their vitality.
‘You’re squeezing out the life force of a dead cow, turning it into fruit, and feeding it to living cows to deliver the life force! Isn’t it interesting? Life force is, after all, something that is innate. ‘Is that what makes your body healthy?’
A method that would be unimaginable on Earth.
Certainly, the people here also had their own ways to prevent the plague.
‘But… it doesn’t cure the disease, it just returns the weakened body to its normal state. Do you want to increase your immunity with that? Can it withstand rinderpest? It would be nice if it could hold up… Then it would be very suitable to use the cow to make the immune serum method… “
What if it helps the cow endure?
Thoughts pass by at an incredible speed in Jin Cheonhee’s head.
