Chapter 44 The Need for Exorcism Ritual

Of course, Du Yuqi could not know that the enemy had once again set an extremely dangerous trap for him, just to invite you into the urn! And it seems to be set in his blind spot of thinking!

On the contrary, it was at this time that he gained a rare moment of leisure and relaxation.

On the one hand, there is no need to worry about the safety of Earl Ratnis for the time being. The noose that has been put around his neck is equivalent to being thrown away far away.

On the other hand, what was agreed to be done by the Minsk Holy Church is also quite perfect. Although the ice and snow blockade outside the holy church still exists, the hidden dangers have been completely eliminated. At least Du Yuqi cannot think of any way that the other party can solve it in a short time. Destroyed the temple inside.

At this time, Du Yuqi thought of another thing. The last time he used the venom to seal the throat, he tasted the sweetness. However, after this thing was brought back to the earth from the Arad continent, it actually had the characteristic of evaporating extremely quickly. , so Du Yuqi has no inventory.

This time, he was fully prepared before setting off. In addition to bringing a poison that can seal the throat when exposed to blood, he also brought some other highly toxic agents from the earth, such as Poisonous Rat Strong, Dichlorvos, dimethoate pesticide, etc. By the way, I want to see what the mutation looks like. At this time, I can test it. At the same time, I can also ask the help of the ascetic monks around me to see if it can be transformed by the gods. Technique to dispel.

After doing this, it took a lot of time. Finally, Du Yuqi discovered that this mutation had no rules. The poison that sealed the throat turned into something as black as ink, which had no effect. , and of the other five poisons prepared on earth that he brought, only one can be effective on human wounds! The remaining four are still detoxified.

The mutated poison that was effective was actually mutated from the mosquito-killing spray that Du Yuqi carried. The effect was pretty good, but unfortunately it could be eliminated by any priest's purification spell. Du Yuqi really sighed.

Next, Du Yuqi came to the room assigned to him by the Minsk Holy Church, fell directly on the camp bed next to him, and fell asleep. This time since entering the Arad continent, it can be said that his physical and mental strength They were all extremely draining, and as soon as the tight strings were loosened, sleepiness would naturally follow.

After sleeping for about eight or nine hours, Du Yuqi was woken up again. This time it was Wu Nian who woke him up.

The reason for waking him up is very simple:——

There are people injured.

In order to grasp the situation of the ice and snow blockade outside in time, the Minsk Holy Church will send out several teams to the outside every once in a while to make tentative breakthroughs. Among the teams returning this time, there are several ascetic monks with different training methods and The philosophy is quite similar to that of Master Xi. He believes that pain is the best whetstone and pays attention to the way of heaven and man. Usually, unless it is an emergency, he will simply bandage and let his injuries heal naturally.

After hearing that Du Yuqi mastered this unique treatment method, he hoped that Du Yuqi would help with the diagnosis and treatment, and also made a request that no anesthetics, alchemy potions, or magical aids be used. The ascetic monks are an important asset in the church and have a high status, so their joint request cannot be ignored within the church, so they had no choice but to wake up the guest Du Yuqi.

Du Yuqi had rested until now and was almost recovered. He wiped his face with snow, then took two blintzes, rolled up a bacon sausage and ate it while walking. When he got to the place, he started to give the ascetic Diagnosis and treatment.

The endurance of these people is really great. Du Yuqi debrided them and sutured them without anesthesia. The feeling of scalpels and needles cutting and puncturing the flesh was not something that could be tolerated casually. After the treatment was finished, they actually still I can barely stand up and make the sign of the cross, thank you.

Now that he woke up, Du Yuqi was not in a hurry to go back to sleep. He walked around to see if the patients he treated yesterday had any sequelae and limbs. The prognosis of the patients was quite good. ,

Most of them were suffering from colds and colds. Du Yuqi used sweating and antibiotics, and all of them were better. The injured needed simple dressing changes, and they all recovered relatively well.

When the examination came to Xi, Du Yuqi was even more surprised. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, but this woman's injuries were beyond description. For an ordinary person, it would be a fatal injury, but her wound healed much faster than expected.

I've heard it said before that she broke through the limitations of a fighter and directly improved a fighter's primary skill "Iron Bone" to the extreme. This should be one of the reasons why she can recover quickly.

At the same time, Xi's resting posture at this time is also very strange. Her legs are curled up to her chest, and her hands are hugging her legs. This action is exactly the same as that of a baby staying in the mother's womb, and Xi should be at this time. He has fallen into a state of deep rest similar to "hibernation" and cannot wake up no matter how others call him. Under such circumstances, even the peristalsis of internal muscles has been suppressed to the maximum extent, and all nutrients and functions in the body have been suppressed. Transfer to the wound for recovery.

Therefore, what Du Yuqi can do for Xi at this time is to replenish her with enough energy and use a hanging bottle to inject a large amount of glucose into her.

Perhaps ordinary people don't know enough about glucose, but in medicine, it is a very important substance. It can be directly absorbed without going through the digestive system. It is the main source of energy needed by the human body. It is oxidized into carbon dioxide and water in the body, and at the same time provides heat, or is stored in the form of glycogen. It is the most common energy material in the body.

Let me give you a very simple number, and you will know the importance of this thing in medicine. Every day, please note that it is every day. The glucose consumed by hospitals on the earth adds up to more than 8,000 tons! These glucoses enter the human body either through infusion or oral administration, providing patients with basic energy to maintain life.

Therefore, to put it intuitively, Du Yuqi's input of a large amount of glucose to Xi is equivalent to providing her with basic energy for metabolism, just like refueling a car when it can't run.

At this time, Du Yuqi discovered that the normal human body's ability to use glucose per minute is 6 mg per kilogram of body weight, while Xi's body is like a bottomless pit, burning all the glycogen input by Du Yuqi hungrily, as if there is no upper limit at all, and her injuries are recovering at an astonishing speed.

While Du Yuqi was studying the data of Master Xi's body with great interest (there was always something wrong with this sentence, as if Lord Hexie had already started to grin), Wu Nian found him again. Du Yuqi began to sigh as soon as he saw Wu Nian, because every time Wu Nian came to find him, it seemed that he didn't bring good news.

This time Wu Nian still did not make an exception. He told Du Yuqi with regret that Count Ratnes's exorcism ceremony had entered the final preparation stage, but before the exorcism ceremony began, there was a very important blessing link, which required a total of eleven casting materials, but three of them must be the freshest.

These three casting materials are: fresh steaming bull liver (with blood squeezed from the heart), freshly broken laurel branches (must have goose yellow buds), and fresh black sturgeon in the Volga River (the width must be more than a palm).

At present, the Minsk Cathedral can only find the first two spellcasting materials with all its efforts, but the third spellcasting material: fresh black sturgeon in the Volga River is really powerless. At present, they are really short of manpower, and Du Yuqi has to find a way by himself.

However, Wu Nian also brought Du Yuqi a good news, that is, Archbishop Lisa personally took action after learning about this matter, and covered Count Ratnes with his own robe. Under the protection of the holy light, he can protect the count for at least 24 hours.

In this way, even if the opponent casts the blood soul spell again as soon as the time is up, Count Ratnes can hold on for two more days. Well, if you count the time Du Yuqi slept before and the time he is delayed now, there is a full 36 hours of preparation time.

It doesn't seem to be a particularly difficult task to escape the ice blockade within thirty-six hours and then fish out a fresh black sturgeon from the Volga River in the north of Shatli City. Moreover, black sturgeon is a local specialty. Both smoked black sturgeon and salted caviar are among the hot commodities purchased by merchants coming to Shatli.

This means that there should be a lot of black sturgeons in the Volga River, and the output does not decrease even if it is continuously caught every year.

Of course, Du Yuqi knows nothing about fishing, but in the houses next to the Volga River, people who are good at ice fishing can always be found. Du Yuqi feels that he can easily persuade them to help him work, because he will buy every black sturgeon they catch at a high price of ten silver coins.

Of course, if someone still refuses Du Yuqi's kindness under such circumstances, then Du Yuqi will continue to persuade this person in some irresistible ways, such as fists, knives and the like.

***

Although Du Yuqi did not tell others that he was in trouble, his packing and preparations still caught the attention of others, so they would naturally ask about it. So when Du Yuqi was about to leave, he suddenly found Mingxi, Duize, and others waiting at the door.

Du Yuqi was stunned and had not yet spoken, Mingxi smiled and said:

"If you want to break through the ice blockade, the ice elf Bingness I summoned as a forward is indispensable."

Duize did not speak, but leaned against the wall next to him and wiped his gun calmly, and squinted his eyes and raised the gun to calibrate the crosshairs. It seemed that no matter what Du Yuqi said, he would ignore it and continue to execute the decision he had made.

Every time, she said impatiently:

"What I hate most is owing favors to others. This will keep me awake at night. If a girl doesn't sleep well at night, she will age quickly! Do you want to make things difficult for my skin and beauty?"

Du Yuqi finally said helplessly:

"But Master Xi is still in a coma, you have to stay and take care of her."

After Du Yuqi finished speaking, he saw Suzhan Xi slowly walking in from the door. Du Yuqi was choked and shrugged and smiled bitterly:

"Master Xi, when did you wake up?"

Xi said coldly:

"An hour ago, when you used that thing called a needle to pierce my skin."

Du Yuqi wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it after all. Finally, he sighed and said:

"I won't say much polite words. Anyway, just talk if you need me in the future. I still have some ideas about leaving this ice and snow blockade. It shouldn't be a problem for everyone to sneak out quietly, but we have to wait until dark. At the same time, I still have to go out to find some things. Let's take a rest first. I'll pour a few cups of tea for everyone to drink first."

After saying that, Du Yuqi boiled water and took out a cup to make tea. As the boiling water poured into the teacup, the green tea leaves kept rolling in the cup, and immediately there was a curling tea fragrance wafting out. The jasmine tea from China should be the first time for everyone present to taste it. They are particularly curious about this slightly astringent and fragrant drink.

Seeing Du Yuqi's confident look, others also felt surprisingly relieved. After all, it was much more comfortable to go on an adventure with a well-prepared guy. In particular, Duize and Mingxi, who had worked with Du Yuqi, both knew that Du Yuqi was a typical person who planned before taking action. This time, he should have a lot of confidence.

Winter is originally a time of long nights and short days. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky quickly darkened. Du Yuqi came back twice during this period, and then hurried out again. It can be seen that he was really busy. When he came back for the last time, he was carrying two large barrels with some effort, and then closed the door in a sneaky way.

When he opened the two large barrels, there was a sudden aroma in the room! It turned out that one of the large barrels contained a small half barrel of steaming potatoes and beef, and the other large barrel contained hard long bread, which needed to be broken by hand and roasted on the fire next to it.

The people present had already eaten cold bread for two or three meals. Now they saw the steaming hot food. Although it seemed a bit simple, it was already indescribably delicious. They cheered and rushed over. After a while, another servant knocked on the door and brought in half a bucket of hot pickled cucumber cream soup. As a result, the whole room was filled with the sound of swallowing and gulping soup. (To be continued.)
