Alien Empire Total War

"Welcome back, Master Charlie."

When Charlie's carriage drove into the Cross Manor, the old butler in the family was already waiting at the door in decent clothes. He watched Charlie get off the carriage, saluted his chest, and greeted Charlie.

Charlie nodded at him, lifted his feet up the stairs, and asked, "Butler Perus, how is the situation at home recently?"

"Everything is fine, Master Charlie." The aged old butler replied with a kind smile, but then he changed the subject and said, "However, Master, his body has been a little unwell recently, and he coughs violently every day. We have already The most famous doctor in the city has been invited."

As he spoke, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, becoming a little worried.

"Did you find anything?" Charlie asked.

Although he has no feelings for the old man, the superficial effort is still to be done.

"The doctor said it's just a common cold, but I don't think it's that simple." The old housekeeper shook his head and said while following Charlie into the house, "If it was a common cold, the cough wouldn't be so severe, and now It's summer, and the master doesn't catch a cold, so how could he suddenly catch a cold?"

"Go and invite more doctors to come and see." Charlie instructed.

The old butler agreed, and then he heard Charlie ask him to show him the way to visit Grandpa Debra. He dutifully took Charlie to a closed door and looked at the closed door. Butler Perous explained to him. road:

"This is what the doctor explained before leaving. In order to protect the patient's fragile body, all doors and windows should be closed."

"..."

"???"

Charlie was stunned.

Logically speaking, shouldn't it be necessary to ventilate frequently after a cold? Good guy, this is also doing the reverse operation?

He didn't point out this mistake immediately. After all, medicine in this era is still underdeveloped, and in some backward countryside there is even an ancient after-school therapy. Even surgical medicine, which was forced to be relatively developed because of the war, is still the simplest and crudest in surgery. amputation.

The old housekeeper personally helped him open the door. Charlie had just stepped into the room with his forefoot when a strong herbal smell and an inexplicable stench hit his face. He subconsciously frowned, but saw Butler Perus's usual look.

When he walked into the room, Charlie felt a sweltering heat inside. He carefully identified the inexplicable odor in the air, and quickly figured out the source of the odor—the body odor on Grandpa Debra's body, in After fermenting in the stuffy room, the smell of herbs mixed with it formed this kind of inexplicable peculiar smell.

"Go and open the window, let's ventilate." Charlie couldn't bear it, and told the old housekeeper.

"But Master Charlie, the doctor said..." The old butler subconsciously questioned. In his opinion, more professional doctors should listen to what he said, but he was interrupted by Charlie halfway through his words.

"Listen to me." Charlie ordered in an unquestionable tone, "Open the windows for ventilation, so as to facilitate the recovery of the disease."

At this moment, the majesty of Charlie's long-standing high-ranking person was fully revealed, and he forcibly swallowed the doubts that the old housekeeper brought to his lips. He hesitated for a second or two, but chose to obey Charlie's order and open the closed window.

After the window was opened, the sultry degree seemed to have eased a little, but Charlie's attention was not there, but on the old man lying on the bed.

Debra Close, a once-powerful generation of famous generals, defeated countless forces that were hostile to this country, but in the end he was defeated by disease and years. Lying on the bed, his cheeks were thin, his cheekbones were slightly protruding, and he uttered from time to time. A few coughs.

Debra didn't fall asleep. Although he was ill at this time, he still sensed that someone was approaching. He opened his eyes and looked at the person who came. When he saw Charlie, he hurriedly propped himself up and tried to sit up. Charlie reached out and grabbed him. Lifting up, he said:

"Grandpa, how is your body feeling?"

"Except for the fact that I couldn't help coughing in my throat, and my nose seemed to be blocked by something," Debra said in a hoarse voice. Charlie could hear that there must be something in his throat when he heard his voice. There was a lot of thick phlegm.

Even if he knows, there is no way to solve this problem. There is no such thing as golden throat lozenges in this era. If he had the technology to make such pills, he would have already put it into production and made a lot of money.

"Go out more, keep the room ventilated, germs are trapped in the room, no wonder your illness is not getting better." Charlie couldn't help but complain.

"Bacteria?" Debra looked at Charlie suspiciously. In this era, no one has proven the existence of germs. This word was also proposed by Charlie for the first time, and no one has heard of it.

Facing Debra's gaze, Charlie suddenly realized that he had leaked his mouth, he coughed lightly, and said, "I met a military doctor when I was fighting on the front line, and he told me that after a cold, you should pay more attention to ventilation, and then Drink some hot water to heal as soon as possible."

Debra remembered Charlie's secret and did not continue to ask. He nodded and said, "Then listen to what you have to say."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Sona Palace?"

"I haven't come back for a long time, so I came back to stay for a few days and take a break." Charlie said with a smile, the two of them were talking, and the butler Perus just came over, and Charlie ordered him to let the chef cook a pot Hot water, let Debra drink it.

Butler Perus did as he heard the words. He also knew that Charlie would not murder his own grandfather. If it was in the kingdom period, it would still be possible, because Charlie's father inherited the title as soon as Debra died~www .wuxiaspot.com~ He also becomes the next generation heir. But now is the Republic period, Charlie is still the president of a country, and there is no reason.

After the old butler left, Debra said: "Charlie, I heard that the city of Hierens has been captured, and the Becky Kingdom has negotiated the indemnity. You have done a good job. During your term of office, you have achieved such a brilliant victory, and the whole country has won. Your support will definitely increase significantly.”

"Perus told me that there is now a group of people called the red team in Ankerton. They support the restoration of the monarchy, but only if you become king. What do you think?"

Charlie was stunned. He didn't expect Debra to ask him this question. He hesitated for a while, considering whether to tell the truth to the old man in front of him. Debra looked at his reaction and suddenly understood something. He laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about anything. Only you and I know today's conversation. If you encounter any problems, I can also provide you with some advice."

Hearing what he said, Charlie thought for a second, that he and the Cross family were almost tied together, and Debra had no reason to harm him, so it was not impossible to selectively reveal some things to him.
