Although the dical team claid they didn’t rely on the microscope for their research results, their breakthrough was indeed aided by it.
After all, only under the microscope can the process of the virus being killed be directly observed.
And the thod of killing the virus ca with the help of the locals.
Previously ntioned, this quarantined settlent is primarily composed of indigenous tribes and so Northern Territory immigrants, with the indigenous tribe constituting the vast majority of the population.
Therefore, when facing the monstrous plague before, it was the local Pioneer Knight, together with the Ancestor Warriors of the indigenous tribe, who resisted the plague’s devastation to local residents.
Though their efforts were not highly effective, they still bought precious ti for the locals to escape into underground shelters.
Among those locals who fled underground was the tribe’s shaman, or witch doctor, fulfilling the role at least informally.
A bit counterintuitive, the indigenous tribe’s shaman had more experience treating illness than conventional doctors.
This advantage wasn’t from any advanced technique but accumulated wisdom and experiences from generations of shamans.
In a ti when modern dicine was just erging, with doctors treating patients often using bloodletting or surgery without anesthesia, relying on various folk redies and pills, it was hard to say exactly which was more effective: an experienced indigenous shaman or an academy graduate doctor.
At least the shaman’s thods had literally been tested against life and death, whereas a dical academy graduate? Sorry, having a dical license only ans they’re qualified to practice, but how much dical knowledge they’ve truly mastered?
Licenses and diplomas required for a doctor to practice could be obtained through bribery.
Certainly, for minor illnesses like headaches or fevers, any doctor would be able to handle them if they didn’t slack off during class.
However, whether they give you so opium or a vintage Coke depended on luck.
In contrast, a witch doctor or shaman proficient in using various herbs and barks might really surprise you with an effective herbal redy.
At least in this case of plague treatnt, the local tribe’s shaman played a significant role.
Through prayers to the Ancestral Spirit for guidance and combining her herbal dicine knowledge, she concocted a special potion, employing a dual approach of topical application and oral administration to treat the infected.
This did not result in everyone being cured; such folk dicine, seemingly steeped in superstition, often relies purely on experience, with little control over the active ingredients and thus a diagnosis dependent on luck.
But even if just one person’s condition improved, it was a marvel for the perplexed dical team.
More significantly, soone indeed was cured in the process.
Thus, the dical team imdiately forged a collaboration with the shaman, leveraging more professional equipnt to help create potions, and recorded and observed their efficacy through comparative experints to determine the best treatnt plan.
Furthermore, they did not forget to observe and record through microscopes, dropping refined and purified active ingredients into virus samples to watch the reaction.
The results were remarkably promising, as the refined and purified potion provided significant inhibition and destruction of the virus, with rather effective results.
They hurriedly reported their findings upwards, leading Eldest Princess Annie to inform Perfikot, resulting in Perfikot personally coming to hear the report.
For this result, Perfikot felt sowhat surprised; she hadn’t expected a plague she deed might be incurable was resolved by a local tribe shaman.
Such stark contrast was as baffling as a two-ter tall muscular man in Steam Knight armor suddenly donning a maid outfit to clean.
While not impossible, the perceptual impact was jarring.
However, Perfikot, being practical, didn’t care whether it was the shaman’s folk redy or the doctors’ dical plan that solved the issue.
Especially after summoning the tribal shaman to inquire, receiving confirmation the prescription ca from Ancestral Spirit inspiration.
"The Ancestral Spirit, huh? Seems I’ve overlooked so crucial elents," Perfikot recalled her earlier research on tribal totems and Ancestral Spirits, finding it perhaps not so incomprehensible now.
With Ancestral Spirits existing on this land for centuries, even millennia, the accumulated knowledge and insight far exceeded ordinary imagination.
Even if an Ancestral Spirit lives confined within the tribe it protects, understanding may seem limited, yet even a pig surviving centuries may gain wisdom.
Not to ntion, Ancestral Spirits possess certain magical abilities and can seek nature’s assistance when faced with unsolvable issues.
This interaction may bring natural responses or occasionally others from Ancestral Spirits.
Since they weren’t imprisoned captives, despite residing in totems, Ancestral Spirits could leave and engage freely.
Thus, an Ancestral Spirit capable of issuing a plague curing prescription, was entirely plausible.
This realization prompted Perfikot to begin valuing the previously overlooked indigeneous people.
Considering they once had a comprehensive extraordinary system and civilization, capable of challenging the Victor Empire in strength.
Though now defeated by the Empire, with much of their valued heritage lost, it didn’t an these natives wholly forfeited their foundation.
The Empire only overca, crushed, and expelled them, without explicitly treating them like scalp trophies.
"Perhaps compiling so of the natives’ ’folk redies’ might be wise?" Perfikot contemplated, noting the ’folk redies’ encompass more than just prescriptions.
