Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 162 Please Call Me the Father of Immunology
After Catherine was in the inner suite, she quickly changed into a light and decent shirt and trousers, and the two of them hurried out of her boudoir.

Many maids in the mansion secretly cast strange glances over here, and when Byron looked back, they immediately dodged.

Through the real-time monitoring of the [Golden Rule], he could hear their thoughts and what they had just said clearly:
"Listen, the fight between the Governor and the Countess is quite intense."

"Three whole hours, so impressive, is this the strength of a second-level expert?"

"."

Byron had just come ashore when the two men spent several hours together.

The house was about to be demolished by them just now, and even Catherine had changed her clothes, which inevitably made people imagine a lot.

It was also Catherine's fault that she had placed all of her personal maids, who had received a good education and even embarked on the path to extraordinary things, in key positions throughout the territory.

Although these local maids who were temporarily recruited had clean backgrounds, their overall quality was quite average and they were totally unworthy of the upbringing of a great noble family.

They are totally incomparable to the well-trained elite maids in the Old World.

Not to mention that this never happened, even if he saw the restaurant, living room, garden, and even the grape trellis with his own eyes, he would not look away and would keep his mouth shut.

Without much thought, gossip beginning with "Hey, have you heard?" and "Pass it on" will soon appear on Taiman Island.

Of course, it is much better for them to spread this than to spread the little things about the Governor and the squid/octopus.

At least once the rumor spreads, the pirates in the privateering fleet and even the Newman family in the royal colony will be happy to see it happen.

'The main problem is the lack of various talents and people in the territory.

But soon they will be there, including undead servants, gods, natural spirits, and indigenous manpower.'

Neither of them paid any attention to what the maid thought, and walked out of the simple wooden Earl's mansion side by side.

After opening the access rights to the third-level Eagle Spirit Warrior Geronimo, the other party had already followed the instructions and came above their heads.

"Mr. Byron, this is extremely urgent. Please help me as soon as possible."

The eagle swooped down from the sky with a whirlwind, and both its movements and shouts were clearly filled with a sense of urgency.

Geronimo was not the only one who came.

Three other people jumped down from his broad back ahead of him.

One is the Great Shaman Yiekotel, who was the highest-ranking person in the city after the king and princess of Chichen Itza all died in the Azke Royal City.

In his hand he still tightly grasped the cane inlaid with the number eight crystal skull.

It was from him that Byron obtained the status of a high-ranking noble in the city-state and agreed on the details of the joint military expedition.

The other one was a middle-aged female shaman that had never been seen before, holding a black human-shaped pottery beast tightly in her arms.

Inside the pottery jar was a boy who looked to be in his teens. Only half of his head was exposed and his eyes were closed, as if he was in a deep sleep.

Seeing this scene, Byron suddenly had an idea:
"The opportunity has come."

He has never been a pushover and knows very well that it is never easy to do business when you are the one asking for favors.

Even if it means saving lives.

No matter how skilled you are as a doctor, and how you can spot problems before patients become ill, if you take the initiative to approach them, they might suspect you of having ulterior motives.

After the expedition left the shores of Lake Texcoco, it took three days to cross the rainforest and another three days to return to the Taiman Islands.

During this period of nearly a week, there was no response from the city of Chichen Itza.

It is conceivable that if there had not been some unexpected situation that was unavoidable.

It is not easy to ask them to send Crystal Skull No. 8 [Quetzalcoatl] Kukulkan to the Taiman Islands and cooperate with me unconditionally.

Just as he thought, Geronimo, who had transformed back into human form, hurried forward and introduced Byron:
"Sir, this is the great shaman Cihuatl of Uxmal, the city next to Chichen Itza. This time they were badly tricked by the Castilians."

Through his narration, Byron quickly figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

After the collapse of the Taya Empire, it split into more than 100 city-states of various sizes, which were plagued by internal strife.

Each city-state has its own interests, and each wants to take the lead in restoring the empire's former glory.

If the Azik Empire in the north had not been watching them covetously, they might have already killed each other in a bloodbath.

This is the heritage of indigenous civilization. Death is not the end, and guardian spirits need to be provided for at all times.

It was not just the Azik Empire itself that launched the Blood Sacrifice and the Crown of Honor War.

Only Chichen Itza, which mainly worships the feathered serpent god Kukulkan, is one of the few city-states that does not use blood sacrifices to worship the gods.

Today, Uxmal, Tayapan, and Chichen Itza are the three major city-states of the Taya Empire (Chapter 132).

The experiences of the other two cities were similar to that of Chichen Itza.

In exchange for peace, his beautiful princess and king were lured to the royal city of Azik to attend the wedding of the previous emperor.

Eventually, they all became sacrifices to create the [Golden Code] with the royal city of Tenochtitlan as the core, gathering the Taino people's "collective subconscious sea".

And both families were even more unlucky than the city of Chichen Itza.

Acted as a pioneer in organizing the anti-Azik alliance.

They sent a large number of warriors and rushed into the Royal City of Azik together with the Kingdom of Castile, their war agent, whom they had not taken seriously at the beginning.

Now, in the end, not only the princess and the king were accompanied in, but also a considerable number of elite troops were almost destroyed by the [Funeral Bird-beaked Plague Doctor].

"Because the monster that spread the plague divided the infected areas according to distance, the onset time was different.

Most of the warriors who were too close to the plague aura had already fallen in Azik Royal City, but there were a very few who were standing far away and did not show any symptoms.

One of the senior warriors who served as the royal guard thought he was fine, but he suddenly fell ill shortly after returning to the city of Uxmal.

The plague also began to spread among the people before the [Funeral Bird-Billed Plague Doctor] arrived in the city-state.

This is Prince Mikteka, the last heir to the royal family of the city-state after the death of the king and princess, so you see."

Byron took over the old man Geronimo's words in his heart: "So, the tragic experience of their peers became the last straw that broke the psychological defense line of the top leaders of Chichen Itza, and also eliminated their last layer of luck.

The psychological bottom line keeps dropping, and the price one is willing to pay is far greater than before the disaster falls on one's head.

As long as my medical expenses are not too excessive, they should be able to accept it.

Bringing this only child from Uxmal here, besides for the sake of alliance, may also be for the purpose of inspecting the goods first.

But, it suits me just fine.

Once there is a successful demonstration, my plan of using the power of others to defeat them can be officially launched.'

Immediately, he activated [Son of the Storm] and added a layer of spiritual protection clothing to himself, and nodded to them:
“We are all friends fighting side by side, so I will naturally do my best.

Fortunately, you came early. If you had come a few days later, I would not have been able to save him.

Come with me. "

As he said this, he took the lead and led a few confused people into the cowshed on the island.

There are dozens of dairy cows that Catherine bought in advance, all grazing leisurely.

The girl stepped forward and sent away the female workers who were milking the cows. She put her hands behind her back and said to Byron:

"I did just as you instructed, and I visited the cattle markets in Jamestown and other surrounding colonies.

Every 'sick cow' we found has symptoms that exactly match your description, but the severity of the symptoms varies."

In other matters, she might instinctively consider economic issues and try every possible way to save every penny.

But as an incurable brother-supporting womanizer, even if she could no longer understand Byron's intentions, she would definitely fulfill all his requests without compromise.

Even if you bid at a premium, you will be able to buy all the "sick cows" you see.

Byron opened [Echoes of History] and looked at all the cows, and found that all of them had local ulcers or pox on their genitals.

Exactly the same as in my memory.

Nodding with great satisfaction:

"Well done. Although some of them have healed on their own, most of them are still in the blister and pustule stage, which is convenient for extracting cowpox."

"Cowpox?"

Hearing this word that was so unfamiliar that it had never appeared in this world, everyone, including Catherine, was stunned.

"We are trying to treat smallpox in humans, right? What does this have to do with cows?"

Byron knew very well that, even though bloodletting was still popular today, concepts such as interpersonal infectious diseases, vaccines, and the immune system were no less than Zenithal-level knowledge.

For the sake of subsequent plans, I could only briefly explain to them my treatment principles:

“We all know that if a person has had smallpox, once he has recovered, he will not get it again.

That's because his body has produced a special substance that resists the virus, which I call: antibody.

In fact, if we take pus from a patient with mild smallpox and infect ourselves, we can also gain corresponding immunity.

But this method of smallpox infection is extremely risky.

Fortunately, I discovered by accident that people who were infected with cowpox, the cow's form of smallpox, could acquire the same immunity.

The most important thing is that the symptoms are mild and not fatal."

Several people roughly understood what he meant.

"I see. It's a common method used in black magic to fight poison with poison."

The vaccinia virus is weakly pathogenic to humans and generally only reproduces at the site of vaccination.

However, because it has strong cross-immunity with the smallpox virus, the human body will also develop immunity to the smallpox virus after being vaccinated with cowpox.

This is the way to fight poison with poison.

But after listening to his explanation, the two shamans who were well versed in various black magic and had the strongest receptive ability not only did not feel relieved, but frowned even more tightly.

Especially the female Great Shaman Xiwatel couldn't help but frown and asked:

"But Mikteka has already been infected with the plague. If you use this method of fighting poison with poison, by the time your cowpox takes effect, he will probably have died of the disease."

Byron adjusted the non-existent eyes on his nose and smiled calmly at her:
“That’s a good question.

To ask why cowpox can be used to treat smallpox patients, we have to mention the time difference between the onset of the two diseases.

Because cowpox breaks out faster than smallpox.

The body will have enough antibodies 10-14 days after vaccination, and the incubation period of smallpox is 12-14 days.

Therefore, if you are vaccinated with cowpox vaccine on the second day after accidentally coming into contact with a patient, you can prevent smallpox.

3-7日后接种也大多不发病，8-10日后接种可以减轻症状，如果10日之后再接种才会彻底无效。

It has only been 6 days since the birth of the Bird-beak Plague Doctor, and His Royal Highness was indirectly infected, so there is still enough time."

"Really, that's great!"

The high-ranking officials of several indigenous city-states immediately turned their worries into joy.

Now, the theory is complete, all that’s left is practice.

If the cure was successful, Byron would have no problem winning the title of "Father of Immunology" based on this achievement alone.

“No, there are no ifs.

Just like inventing the 'Tudor Hybrid', it is a major contribution that directly changes history. There is no need to wait for the legendary degree to ferment, and you can get the title special effects directly.

There is no inventor of a vaccine in this world yet, and now I am truly the "Father of Immunology"!
Plagiarism? Can this kind-hearted doctor's act be called plagiarism?"
