Chapter 44 Quetzalcoatl Egg

The difference between humans and animals is whether they can make and use tools.

Therefore, the importance of tools is self-evident, and it can even affect the development and direction of a civilization.

Just like the invention of the magic wand, it makes the learning and mastering of magic more convenient, and also promotes the prosperity of European magic, allowing all kinds of genius spells to emerge in an endless stream.

For the North American natives, due to the natural geographical barriers, they have not been able to enjoy the dividends of tools such as magic wands for a long time.

But correspondingly, they also found another way and learned to use the hides and blood of magical animals to cast spells.

Hides and blood, similar to the wood and core of magic wands, also have powerful magical powers.

Based on this spellcasting system, the natives of America created the high-end transformation of the skin shaper, which is similar to the Animagus.

Of course, compared with the Animagus, the skin walker needs to kill and die in exchange for the power of transformation.

The size of the transformed creature should also be about the same as that of the wizard. This restriction will naturally exclude those animals that are too small and too large.

But Animagus can only transform into fixed animals, while Skinwalker can transform into multiple animals.

Therefore, the two magics have their own advantages and disadvantages.

However, this kind of academic problem is not the most urgent issue for Rolf to consider. He needs to save people.

The boy checked the Indians' condition again. After repeated observations, he discussed with Margaret and determined that they were poisoned by snapdragon toxin.

Snapdragon is also called skull grass.

The two names are very different, which comes from the blooming and withering of flowers... The appearance fluctuates greatly.

When blooming, the flowers of snapdragon are particularly beautiful, and the flower shape is elegant, just like a goldfish swimming in the water.

When the flowers wither, snapdragon will form a scary skull-shaped seed pod with two eyes and a mouth... It's scary to look at.

And this skull-shaped seed pod contains chronic poison. After taking a large amount, the blood will gradually coagulate into blocks.

"Their blood is poisonous. We need to use leech therapy to suck out the poison." Rolf looked at Dana and told her:

"You need to catch some black leeches. The more the better."

"Okay...Okay, I got it!" Dana nodded quickly.

She ran to communicate with her tribesmen again, but those tribesmen obviously did not trust Rolf, and they had a quarrel.

Rolf did not say anything, but waited quietly. He was just a doctor and could not make decisions for others.

Whether to believe or not was the other party's business and had nothing to do with him.

The quarrel lasted until two more tribesmen died, and the Indians reached a consensus and went out to find leeches.

While waiting, Rolf asked Dana to take him to her medicine storage room.

Like Hagrid's cabin, the herbs here were also measured by kilograms. The bitter rice flower, a magical plant unique to Arizona, alone filled half of the house.

In a cabinet, there were more than a hundred corked vials and countless jars of dried herbs, each with the name of the medicine written on it.

These were the secret medicines handed down from the tribe's ancestors.

When Rolf was about to leave, he asked Dana for some, and she would not refuse.

Of course, the premise was to save her people. If he failed, he would think about how to take Margaret away.

Soon, the tribesmen found black leeches, which were as big as hairy peppers, black all over, and looked very disgusting.

Rolf first treated Dana's younger brother Aru. He cut open the boy's chest with a dagger, and black pus and blood slowly flowed down.

He picked up the leech and poured it on Aru's pale chest. The black leech followed the blood and drilled into the wound.

"Help me prepare a big bucket." Luo Fu continued to order: "Fill it with boiling hot water."

It's not that he wants to take a bath, but he wants to give the black leeches a bath... Black leeches are a double-edged sword. They can absorb toxins, but if they can't be eliminated in time, they will also suck the boy dry.

Coincidentally, black leeches are afraid of high temperatures. After steaming in hot water for a while, they will drill out of the human body.

A fire was quickly lit at the door. After the bath water was boiled and steamed, it was poured into the big mahogany bathtub. Luo Fu helped the boy into the bathtub.

It took less than three minutes to soak, and the long leeches came out of the body.

Luo Fu carefully picked the leeches off, and the insects slowly squirmed between his fingers. They were no longer black. After sucking full blood, they turned into shiny pink.

This thing doesn't need to be crushed to death. It can be kept as a snack for the little snake monster. It bursts with a mouthful of juice, sour and refreshing.

Luo Fu, as a mother, is also dedicated.

After transferring Aru to the bed, Luo Fu gave him painkillers. Halfway through the medication, the boy suddenly woke up and started coughing violently.

The room was instantly filled with cheers, cheers, whistles, gasps of horror, whispers of excitement, and... Dana's crying.

Luo Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. If the treatment failed, he would immediately take Margaret away. Fortunately, it succeeded.

This is how doctors work. Some medical troubles cost money, while others cost lives!

Luo Fu treated another person. He demonstrated the whole process to Dana in detail.

"Okay, you treat them in this way." After Luo Fu finished his instructions, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Margaret didn't know where she ran to. The boy quickly looked for her in the village and finally found her in the northwest corner.

The girl was standing by a well, bending over and looking down.

"You're not going to jump into the well and commit suicide, are you?" Rolf walked over to Margaret and said with a smile, "If you jump, I won't save you."

Margaret flirted with him and chuckled:

"Don't worry, if my sister commits suicide, she will definitely drag you with her. We will just die together for love. What a tragic way to die.

It's much better than me dying in bed when I'm old and ugly, and you being eaten by a magical creature... Aren't these two ways of dying much better?"

"You big-headed ghost!" Rolf rolled his eyes.

Margaret reached out and hugged Rolf, who was emitting cold air all over his body, as if she was holding a large block of ice. She rubbed it and said comfortably:

"It's so hot, or I'd rather hold you to cool down... What do you think of those poisoned Indians?"

"Someone must have poisoned them." Rolf lowered his voice and said:

"Snapdragon is a magical plant from the Mediterranean. It's rare in North America. The possibility of them collectively eating it by mistake is too small."

"I just asked Dana, and she said this is the main source of drinking water for their tribe." Margaret stepped on the edge of the well.

"Do you think someone poisoned here?" Rove frowned and asked, "What's the purpose?"

"They should come for the pyramid." Margaret whispered.

"Those reliefs?" Rove asked in confusion, "There are indeed gold and gems on them, and they look valuable."

"No... I mean the things in the altar at the top of the pyramid." Margaret shook her head.

"What could be there?"

"I've seen Dana's memory." Margaret leaned close to Rove's ear and whispered:

"There is a... Quetzalcoatl egg enshrined at the top of the pyramid."

"..."
