Chapter 852: The Cure for Leprosy

Chapter 852: The Cure for Leprosy

It's getting late.

Jeanne scattered some fish food into the garden pond, where trout, carp, perch and pike swam and immediately gathered together to scramble for the food.

They were not ornamental fish. On fasting days, the emperor would often order his servants to catch them and distribute them to close officials and nobles.

Hearing footsteps behind her, she asked without even looking up, "Have you finished talking to Anna's family?"

"Well, I've said everything I wanted to say."

Jeanne raised the glass in her hand and said, "To be honest, I'm worried that Anna is just wishful thinking. A girl like her who lacked love in her childhood and has extraordinary talents is too easy to be taken advantage of."

In fact, Viviana also had such concerns. She felt that after all, she was not the old emperor's biological daughter and had no right to contact him.

If Losa had not used the excuse of contacting the German Emperor in advance, she might not have made up her mind.

Even blood relatives were not close to her, and they treated her as a bargaining chip to gain benefits for the family, let alone an outsider.

Lothar shook his head. "The old emperor is not a purely political animal, so he didn't do a very good job as an emperor. That's why I believe his affection for Anna is genuine."

Jeanne raised her smooth little chin and said, "I hope so. In my opinion, anyone who can become an emperor has a black heart."

"You are right, but no matter what, Franz is definitely much better than the Elector."

Lothar sighed. As the newly promoted king and future Basilius, he also understood this deeply. Too high moral standards may not be beneficial to the country.

At the right time, Eve, wrapped in a loose robe, walked quickly into the garden with her head down and without even looking at the road.

"Ms. Eve!"

Lothar raised his hand in greeting.

Eve said "Ah" and hurriedly returned the greeting: "Mr. Losa, I came to see you."

She held a pile of manuscripts and said, "Mr. Lothar, I remember that when you came last time, you asked me to pay attention to the manuscripts on leprosy in the Imperial Library."

"Any results?"

"Well, ever since the plague rat swarm incident, I have been studying the knowledge of the Plague School."

Eve considered her words and said, "You may not know that leprosy is actually a type of plague. It is not impossible to cure it, but the physical deformity may not be healed."

“It’s enough to cure the root of the disease.”

Losa stood up and thanked him sincerely: "On behalf of all lepers, I thank you for your dedication."

Although Baldwin IV's leprosy has been effectively controlled, it would still save a lot of trouble if it could be cured, and Father Urdin would not have to travel to Jerusalem every once in a while.

There were also many people suffering from leprosy in this era. Originally in history, the Order of Saint Lazarus had another name, called the Order of the Leper Knights.

After Urdin founded the Order of Saint Lazarus, he also recruited many members suffering from leprosy.

Being able to cure this stubborn disease is of great significance to them.

Eve waved her hands quickly: "It's nothing, I just did something insignificant - Mr. Lothar, I thought you would be prejudiced against the Plague School."

"The knowledge of the Plague School is indeed dangerous, but it also depends on who uses it."

Lothar shook his head and said, "Countless patients are killed by the plague every year. Every time Ms. Eve conquers a disease, countless people can be cured. This merit is not too much even if she is canonized."

Now it was Eve's turn to feel embarrassed.

"It's not that exaggerated, but you are right. I will continue to study the knowledge of the Plague School, and I will also ensure that it will not be leaked."

She handed the manuscript to Losa, said goodbye, and ran away like the wind.

"Tsk, Ms. Eve is quite beautiful after dressing up a little."

Jeanne whistled.

Losa was speechless and said, "How can you tell that she's dressed up?"

"Compared to her homeless look before, I think she is doing pretty well now. There are so many beautiful women in Greece. It's a pity that I'm not a man. Otherwise, with my contribution in saving this country, I would have to enjoy partying every night."

Losa couldn't help but pat her on the head.

He knew that Jeanne was not joking, otherwise she wouldn't always be trying to instigate him to sneak into the Queen's bed - she really felt that she was proud of doing so. This old antique with a long life was somewhat perverted.

Jeanna brushed the dust off her butt nonchalantly: "It's a pity that you have such good conditions. When are we going home?"

"Don't worry. There's nothing to do now. Let's wait for Eve and Anna's apprentices to sort out the books we need before we go back."

Losa glanced through the document, which gave a very detailed explanation of the causes of leprosy, its infectiousness, and how to cure it, but in fact Losa only needed to look at the cure method at the end.

"I will send this document back to Ulding and ask him to make the medicine according to the recipe above."

"alright."

Jeanne waved her hand lackadaisically and threw another handful of fish food into the pond.

"I was thinking of having some exciting fun with you in the Greek court."

Losa, who was about to leave, paused slightly.

"I'm not that anxious, actually."

The judge, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, visited Constantinople with Cherinina today. It was the first time for the former to visit this metropolis. In her time, Constantinople had been renamed Constantiniere for a long time.

Those Greek and Orthodox-style buildings now only exist in books.

"Alas, I should be happy to see this beautiful metropolis that has disappeared into the long river of history, but I don't know why I always feel a little disappointed."

The financial situation of the Komnenos dynasty was not very good. Many buildings and statues had been out of repair and looked dilapidated. For example, the royal hunting grounds where Radon lived had been turned into wasteland after being out of repair and often cut down trees by citizens.

The dilapidated scene at the end of the Palaiologos dynasty could already be seen at this time.

Cherylina had no interest in this. If Lavinia hadn't wanted to find a companion, she wouldn't even want to go out for a walk: "She is already very beautiful for a medieval city."

"Which is the largest city you have ever seen?"

Lavinia and Cerinina are from the same hometown. She lives in Bologna, Turin and Milan, which are not far from Saluzzo.

Nina whispered, "The largest city must be Vienna. Our family has sent out missions before, and the target was the Rothschild family living in Vienna."

"and after?"

"The mission was successful, but many companions were killed."

As if recalling the difficulty of that mission, Cherinina lowered her eyes and said, "As an assassin, I should have been prepared to complete the mission at all costs. But maybe it's because the adults always advised me against it. If I were to go back to that time now, I might not have that determination anymore."

"If that kind of thing is gone, it's gone. Life is so good now. If I die, I won't be able to feel anything."

Nina was a little uneasy: "But if an assassin loses his determination to die, he will lose his edge."

The greatest role of an assassin is to sacrifice his own life for the success of the mission when necessary.

"Don't let your imagination run wild, silly girl."

Miss Judge touched Miss Assassin's smooth blue-gray hair with some affection: "There will be many people who love you unconditionally. Even if you lose the martial arts that you rely on for survival, you are still very important to us, not to mention that you are just a little less sharp."

"Thank you."

Nina nodded with a complicated expression. She was about to say something when she suddenly saw the lights on the top of the tower flickering, the shadow of inky black hair swaying, and a bird like an oriole chirping.

"what is that?"

The judge quickly reacted and couldn't help but spit, "These two are really shameless."

Two red clouds rose on Cherinina's cheeks. This was not the first time she had encountered such a scene.

The people on the tower soon noticed the two people coming. Jeanna, who was still sweating on her cheeks and looked quite lazy, poked her head out and waved her hand: "You're back, do you want to join us?"

Seeing the two people running away like flying, Jeanna felt happy that her prank had succeeded: "Come quickly, the attendants and eunuchs nearby have been driven away far away."

She waved her hand, and when she saw the two people walking away, she gritted her teeth and said weakly, "Why don't you get out now!"
