The palace of the Seven Hills Empire. Su Cornelius Scipio, the uncle of Ella, sat on the throne with exhaustion. A few days ago, he was standing on the wall to fight against the Almani coalition. But after the outbreak of the plague, he had been hiding in the palace. The soldiers brought Paracelsus under his throne. He saw that the doctor was still wearing the strange bird-mouth mask even though he had entered the palace.

"You are Paracelsus?" Su Cornelius Scipio asked weakly. What happened in the past few months has exhausted him.

Paracelsus lowered his head and replied, "Yes, it's me."

"Why are you wearing a mask? Is it true that you cannot see someone?"

"It's not. Actually, I personally don't like to be too arrogant, but this plague has to meet you in the name of Paracelsus. Moreover, this plague has a strong contagious power. Before healing others, the doctor needs to protect himself first - since Baselès doubts, please wait and let me remove my clothes."

As he said that, Paracelsus took out a bottle from under his robe, poured some liquid out of it and rubbed the black gloves inside and out like washing his hands. After rubbing, he took off the bird's beak mask with the black gloves and threw it to the ground.

Then, he poured some liquid from the bottle and rubbed the gloves up and down as before, and then he began to take off his robe. He saw him put his hands behind his back and rolled the robe down little by little from the collar, so that the inside of the robe was outside and the outside. His hands rolled on the outside of the robe from beginning to end, carefully not touching the inside of the robe.

After doing this, he poured out the mysterious liquid for the third time, washed the gloves, and then took them out, and like a robe, the gloves were placed on the inside and the outside.

Finally, he poured out a little more liquid and washed his hands.

"Please soak your robe and mask in hot water." He said to Su, "This outfit will also work when healing patients."

Su Cornelius Scipio looked at Paracelsus slowly taking off his clothes, and was already a little impatient. Seeing that he finally took off his clothes, he immediately asked, "What is the bottle in it? Why do you keep washing your hands with it?"

"Back to Basels, this is the alchemy reagent distilled from wine by my alchemy teacher John de Rupisissa, who calls it the 'water of life'. It is an immortal substance that can bring good luck and health to people."

"Water of Life." Su repeated expressionlessly, and then said, "Paracelsus, I have heard of your name. They all say you are a great alchemist, but alchemy is forbidden in the Seven Hills Empire. If you want to use alchemy to cure your illness, you'd better leave the Seven Hills Empire before I arrest you."

Paracelsus was not panicked and said, "Basels, do you know what disease is raging in Constantinier?"

"This is a hell of a plague," Su said, "Ten doctors gave ten different statements. I am not a doctor, how do you know who to listen to?"

"You should know about Basels." Paracelsus said, "Didn't the Seven Hills Empire encounter the same plague more than two hundred years ago?"

Su's body suddenly sat upright: "You mean... Justinian Plague?"

"It is. Most doctors only know how to read Celsus and Garen's medical books. They know nothing about history. On the way to the kingdom, I checked the symptoms of the patients. Everything was exactly the same as the great plague recorded two hundred years ago. There would be no mistake. The plague that is currently raging in Constantine, is called the Black Death." Paracelsus's eyes became serious, "If it is left alone, the people who die in the end will probably have more than tens of millions."

Su couldn't sit still anymore. He knew the horror of Justinian's plague - it killed almost half of the population of the Seven Hills Empire and almost destroyed the Seven Hills Empire. No king wanted to face this disease during his reign.

"What should I do?" he asked at a loss.

"That's why I'm here now," replied Paracelsus. "I don't like to be frank. But the doctor's work ethics forced me to stand up and come here."

"What kind of disease is this?" Su asked, "What kind of fluid is the imbalance of the body fluid, blood, mucus, and black bile substance, which causes such a terrible disease?"

"Barcels, you said you are not a doctor, but you can still say something when you mention the theory of bodily fluids. This is enough to show how widely the theory of bodily fluids spreads." Paracelsus shook his head, "It's a pity that I have a little objection to this theory. The human body is a perfect alchemy system created by God. How could it suddenly become unbalanced for no reason? I'm afraid that what causes the disease is not the internal body fluids, but the toxins that exist in the environment."

"Toxins in the environment?"

"The whole world is an alchemy system. Look at the sea and rain, God is distilling over and over again. Just as alchemists separate useful substances and toxic substances through distillation, while God sublimates the substance, there will inevitably be toxins that separate and retain. This toxin affects the human body and causes diseases. That's what I think."

"It sounds...a bit heretical."

Paracelsus lowered his head and replied: "Barcelos, please think carefully. If the cause of the disease is fluid imbalance, why do the entire Constantine people suddenly become fluid imbalance? This can't make you believe that Garen's theory is wrong? Believe me, the reason why the plague broke out in Constantine is because its environment is already full of pathogenic toxins."

"Paracelsus, if it is true that the cause of the disease is external toxins, how can we avoid being attacked by toxins?"

"We don't know where the toxins are hidden, so we can only try to avoid them from invading our bodies." Paracelsus said. "Before talking about how to cure this disease, I have five suggestions, please ask Basels to order it immediately."

“What five suggestions?”

"First, collect all the liquors in the city and distillate the water of life on a large scale with my recipe. In the next time, this alchemy reagent will be crucial."

"Secondly, the sick and those who have been in contact with the sick need to stay at home because they may be carriers of toxins. They are not allowed to go out until they are confirmed to be safe."

"Third, large-scale mosquito and flea killing operations are carried out throughout the city. The bites of these pests are likely to be a way for toxins to invade the human body."

"Fourth, water sources and food are also places where toxins may exist. Therefore, all water sources must be boiled and consumed. Do not eat any food raw before the plague ends."

"Fifth, when treating diseases, all doctors must cover their whole body with clothes as I do. When putting on and taking off clothes, remember that toxins may have been attached to the clothes surface, so be careful."

"The above five suggestions, no matter which one of them is something that a mere doctor cannot do, can only be implemented by relying on your authority in Basels. Then the sixth most important point--"

Paracelsus looked at Su and said solemnly:
