Chapter 574: Purify the Valley, Green Storm! (Red Comet Maswan Rewards 2nd Update)
Cadmium element has been successfully extracted. Even though there may be some impurities in it, it also provides great help in detoxification.
After Cerira got the cadmium powder, she simply used her mental power to explore it and locked onto its spiritual fluctuations. According to the eldest lady, she started taking pictures of directional detoxification techniques one after another:
Take one photo to identify the blood; take another photo and identify the blood again. After three or five times, your eyes light up:
"I know! That's right!"
Elder Erwin was not as active as her, but he mastered the spell faster. After practicing a few times, he could detoxify with bare hands without relying on cadmium powder.
With the two of them joining in, the progress of detoxifying the villagers skyrocketed. It only took one afternoon, one night, and half of the next day to complete the detoxification work.
All the miners, workshop workers, and villagers have been washed away by the detoxification technique.
If Grete was working purely for money, by this time, it would have been declared that the medical work was successfully completed and he could go back to collect treatment fees from his employer.
Miners, workshop workers, and villagers, supporting the old and the young, lined up to see them off. The farewell may have been organized by the management, but the gratitude on their faces could not be fake anyway.
"Thank you, Pastor."
"Thank you, Master Mage."
"Thank you, beautiful lady...Thank you so much..."
"Your Majesty the Divine Beast, please enjoy our thanks..."
"Little Tom! What are you doing standing still! Salute the Master! Bow! Bow!"
Grete saw Grandma Anne, whom he had treated when he first entered the village yesterday, tremblingly opening her handkerchief and holding out a colorful scarf that had been treasured for decades;
Next to Teacher Erwin, a middle-aged housewife held up a bowl of cold water. The water bowl was made of wood, but the dirt on it had been scrubbed clean overnight, revealing traces of wood grain;
Next to Cerira, a three or four-year-old girl came bounding over, stuffed a bouquet of wild flowers into her hand, then turned around and ran away shyly;
Even in front of Apa, someone carefully held up the green grass...
This scene is very similar to the scene where they were surrounded by villagers after they went to the countryside for medical treatment.
Gretel's steps were as slow as one step.
He knows why these villagers are like this. For them, or for any people in remote areas and rural areas, the cost of obtaining medical resources is very high.
A pair of herbal medicines can wipe out a family's savings; a magic spell can cost them something they dare not even think about.
People living in the city may often go to the temple to serve, worship, and clean in exchange for some cheap treatment, but they...
Even if you have to travel hundreds of miles to the temple with a patient to treat your family, the time and farming time lost, or the salary earned will take away several months of the family's savings.
Just like in modern times. Urban employees with high incomes have a high proportion of medical insurance reimbursement; the more cash-strapped migrant workers or rural residents have, the lower the proportion of medical insurance reimbursement, or they have no medical insurance at all...
Grete rode on Appa's back and was sent out of the valley by the village steward with a face full of hospitality. He walked a few steps, looked back, walked a few more steps, and looked back again:
Thanks to the Silver Moon Deer's great intelligence, it would not knock him down, and its back was wide and comfortable, almost like Gretel riding the deer upside down...
"What are you looking at?"
Elder Erwin suddenly asked. Gretel sighed softly:
"Teacher, I wonder how many more years it will take for them to get this strange disease again..."
Elder Erwin sighed silently.
When the water is dirty, the soil is dirty, and there is something wrong with the entire nature, it is impossible if the people living in it don't have problems.
Human beings and nature are originally one...
"How many years do you think it will take?"
"Hard to say……"
Gretel shook his head slightly.
Lead poisoning accumulates quickly, develops quickly, and is relatively easy to treat. A qualified priest can perform detoxification techniques. Chronic cadmium poisoning can sometimes accumulate for 10 to 15 years, and it is already at an advanced stage when it develops into full-body bone pain.
However, cadmium poisoning is really not easy to cure. After it accumulates in the kidneys, it is difficult to excrete it...
"Teacher, I want to purify the nature here. Do you have any ideas?"
Gretel suddenly patted Appa to make him stop. He jumped off the deer's back and looked at the elder seriously:
His strengths lie in medical treatment, natural communication, and natural affinity. He is a complete mess. Healing skills are worthy of a sixth-level mage. Natural spells, if you have a level one, you can laugh...
However, seeing this land and water, and seeing the villagers hugging each other, Gretel really had no choice but to act as if he hadn't seen anything and just walked away.
Elder Erwin stopped and looked serious. Purifying nature and healing its wounds is something that every priest of the Natural God Church will try his best to do.
The young pastor in the apprenticeship stage plants a tree, plants a clump of grass, and sends the fallen bird back to its nest;
Low-level and mid-level priests listen to the sounds of nature and take care of plants and animals;
And high-level priests can even call upon wind, rain, thunder and lightning to drive the land and mountains to bring the injured nature back to life...
But manpower is sometimes scarce. To evolve such a large valley, Elder Erwin himself is beyond his means, let alone Gretel, a sixth-level priest.
"How... do you want to purify?" He organized his thoughts and answered slowly:
"There are related magical formations above level ten, but you probably won't be able to activate them. They purify each piece one by one. Even I can only purify half of the mountain in one day. If it were you, if you spend a month here, you might be able to do it all.
Not finished."
As for asking Cerela to help?
Elder Erwin estimated that the little girl might take the initiative to help, but when Gretel made the plan, she would definitely not be included in it. Without him, it would be shameful...
"Oh, I don't have to go to such trouble!" Gretel raised his head and smiled:
"Find some plants that accumulate the most lead and cadmium. It is best to find them among herbaceous plants. Annual ones are better and grow faster. Then discuss with them and ask them to absorb more pollution..."
Elder Erwin has thought of this idea. However, there are too many types of plants in the valley. If they are fully promoted, the efficiency will be too low. If they are focused on promoting growth and betting on the wrong varieties, the efficiency will be even lower. So...
"First, how do you find these plants? Second, what is your difficulty in discussing with them?"
Eh? There is a door!
The teacher did not deny it, but expressed the hope of helping. Gretel chuckled:
"The first question is easy. Appa!"
Apa scratched the ground with his front hooves in response. Gretel turned around and patted the Silver Moon Deer on its left rib:
"Apa, please taste the grasses in the valley one by one. Then tell me, the smell of cadmium is the strange smell that your detoxification technique has driven away. Which grasses are the strongest? Help me find five.
, can it be done?”
Apa snorted and sprayed Grete in the face on the spot. Then, he walked away to the side with light steps, took a bite, chewed it, spit it out, and took another bite...
Gretel turned his head and showed his hands to Elder Erwin:
"Look, it's solved. You can also use chemical sampling and analysis, but it's just troublesome. Since Appa is here, let Appa help..."
Elder Erwin refrained from knocking him on the head. As a priest of the God of Nature, he should communicate with the plants and obtain information from the plants on his own. Are you proud of leaving the work to the monsters?
Forget it, forget it, I didn't teach him well when I started, it's too late to beat him now...
Apa came back after a while, lowered his head, and used his long horn to shake off five long grasses with soil. Elder Erwin dug a few holes at random, planted the weeds, and continued to ask Gretel:
"What about the second difficulty?"
"The second difficulty is that I can't negotiate with those plants..."
Elder Erwin inhaled, exhaled, inhaled again, and exhaled again. The problem of not being able to be naturally friendly was something Gretel had before he went north, but he still hasn't improved it yet...
"Try it and show me!"
Grete closed his eyes silently. He stretched out his mental energy and locked on the grass that had just been planted in front of him. Communicate, communicate...
Even after advancing to the fifth level, the memory passed down by the oak staff is still vaguely connected to the vegetation. Instead of just being separated by a layer of gauze, it is almost like there is a layer of rubber between them.
Elder Erwin also released his mental power and observed Gretel's communication. He was angry and amused. He shook his head and took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pressed Gretel's forehead, and shouted:
"Concentrate!"
The mental power unfolded, wrapped around Gretel's mental power, and explored the surroundings. Feeling it carefully, the old white eyebrows quickly frowned:
"Your mentality is wrong. That is nature, and you are a part of nature. You, animals, plants, earth, air, soil, are all part of nature, and you are all equal. If you are above, who can communicate with you?"
"Well……"
Gretel cannot agree with this view. Humans, animals, and plants are equal in theory, but in practice it is strange. Human life should be more valuable than that of animals:
How many dogs had died in his hands for an experiment on patent ductus arteriosus?
But it is obviously not reliable to talk back to the teacher now. Grete concentrated quietly, feeling the fluctuations of the teacher's mental power, and tried hard to imitate:
Quiet, quiet...
Flatten and simplify the chaotic thoughts...
Let your brain wave frequency drop, get closer to the animal state, or even get closer to the plant state... Feel the sunshine, the moisture of the water vapor, the mountain breeze...
Gretel tried his best to give himself psychological hints. From the reeds by the stream, he saw the water plants in the stream...the green water plants on the soft mud, swaying oilily under the water;
I am just a seaweed seaweed~swaying in the wind~seaweed seaweed seaweed seaweed~dancing in the waves~
Uh... After the simplified thinking spread out, it seemed that it really connected the threads of the grass. Gretel closed his eyes and discussed with them seriously:
Would you like it to be longer?
Those strange things in the soil are... those smelly things, suck them hard and suck them all into your body?
Don’t have the strength? It doesn’t matter, I will provide it for you!
Do you want to grow up with your companions? That is... they are the same kind of you, the same kind, almost the same...
Rustling, rustling, the grass and trees in the valley are swaying, and there is no wind. First there is the newly planted grass in front of me, and then, with these five long grasses as the center, large tracts of wild grass grow upwards.
One meter, two meters, five meters, ten meters...
The green circle kept spreading. Soon, Gretel's face turned pale and his body began to sway. Cerira's eyes moved, and she reached out and put her hand on his shoulder.
The next moment, a green storm surged!
