"With your ability, it took you so much effort to eliminate all the pathogens... These pathogens are really unusual..." Dorothy said to Vanya while pondering in her heart. After listening to Dorothy's words, Vanya also thought for a while before speaking.
"This plague is indeed not simple, Miss Dorothea. Those pathogens are very tenacious and have extremely strong defenses against the body's own resistance... or what A-Ka calls the immune system's siege. These viruses are extremely difficult for the immune system to detect. They seem to suppress the attacked normal tissues from sending out alarms to the body. The normal human immune system is simply unable to detect the existence of these pathogens. I need to activate and guide the patient's immune system so that the immune system can start to find the virus and eliminate it.
"The process of eradicating them is not easy. The self-defense capabilities of these viruses are very strong. Even the immune cells that have been activated and strengthened by me are unable to completely eliminate them in one go when facing these viruses. I can only slowly and laboriously conquer them.
"These viruses... seem to have a strong ability to resist immune cells that have been strengthened by the healing ability. It took me some time to get the immune cells to break through their defenses. This virus is simply too powerful. It is simply not something that can be evolved by our world!"
With a serious look, Vanya said this to Dorothy. Dorothy paused slightly after hearing this, and then she also spoke in her heart while thinking.
"It can't be evolved from our own world, right? It seems... our previous guess is probably correct. This virus is an extraordinary creation, one of the three religions of the Afterbirth, the Filthy Order... or the Immortal Cult..." Dorothy said this. Buserit is located in the south-central part of Northern Wu. Compared with Adus and Kankedal, its geographical location is closer to Southern Wu. If the Immortal Cult infiltrates to the north, it will indeed be able to affect Buserit very quickly.
"It's the Afterbirth Cult again... What's the point of them spreading such a plague in Buserit?" Vanya said with a frown. Listening to Vanya's words, Dorothy responded in a deep voice.
"I don't know yet. A place like Buserit is remote, chaotic, and sparsely populated. Is it necessary for them to spread such a powerful plague here? If they want to start a pandemic, they should go directly to the densely populated areas of the main continent and poison them. Now they suddenly attack here... It's really hard to understand..." Dorothy tried to analyze the intentions of the Immortal Cult, but after she couldn't interpret anything, she shook her head and gave up. Then she asked Vanya,
"With your current abilities, how much effort do you need to put in to completely cure a patient with this disease?"
"With my ability... the spiritual energy required to cure a patient like this is not too much, but it is definitely not negligible. Let me think about it... for an average Black Earth-class healing priest, if he consumes all his spiritual energy and energy... in one breath, I estimate that he can cure five or six people at most. I can cure more, probably more than twenty. Even if I have accumulated experience to improve my efficiency, I can only cure more than thirty people at most..."
Vanya was thinking and responding to Dorothy in her heart. Listening to Vanya's words, Dorothy also thought and responded in a deep voice.
"I see... If I remember correctly, the church only has twelve Black Earth Healing Priests assigned to help. If you add up the healing power of your entire delegation, you can only heal a hundred at most. You still can't cure all the patients in this shelter...
"So instead of wasting our spiritual energy here, let's continue our journey and head towards Buserit." Dorothy said to Vanya. Hearing Dorothy's words, Vanya was stunned for a moment, and then spoke with some reluctance.
"This... are you asking me to abandon these patients? They are suffering from illness and are very pitiful. There is almost no way to cure this plague except praying for healing. Abandoning them here... are you really asking me to do that?"
Vanya said this with great emotion. After listening to her words, Dorothy realized that she was overwhelmed with compassion and could not bear the pain that was happening at the moment, so she began to advise her frankly.
"It's completely useless for you to stay here and heal them one by one. How many people have been affected by this plague? How many people can your healing ability cure? There are nearly 300 patients in this shelter alone. There are at least 20 to 30 such shelters on the border of Adus. The total number of patients is almost 10,000... These are only those who have fled to Adus. We don't know how many people in Buserit are affected by this plague now... Hundreds of thousands? Or millions?
"Vanya, if you go and treat them one by one like this, you won't be able to treat them all even if you are exhausted. It is better to go to Buserit now, find the culprit, defeat him, and then find a solution. Maybe this way we can directly eradicate the plague and save everyone."
"Defeat the culprit and save everyone?" Hearing Dorothy's words, Vanya's expression was slightly startled, and a light flashed in her eyes. Dorothy also added at this time.
"Of course, so, for us, the most precious thing now is time. The sooner we can find out the source of this extraordinary plague, the sooner we can find a solution to the entire plague. You can't just look at the present, Vanya, the love of the saint is not just about the small love of a few people in front of you, but about the great love of all living things..."
Listening to Dorothy's words, Vanya couldn't help but stand there in a daze. After a few seconds of silence, her originally unmoved expression began to become firm again. Vanya finally let out a long sigh and spoke in her heart.
"Huh... I understand. I will arrange for the delegation to depart immediately. Thank you, Miss Dorothea. I am so ashamed that you need to teach me such a simple truth... I am a little emotional and have not affected the overall situation. This is the result of my incomplete understanding of the main idea...
"So-called great love should be more rational and decisive, not just impulsive. I was too selfish just now. I only wanted to save the person in front of me and ignored the majority of people who were suffering in front of me. In this way, I would not have to bear the psychological burden of the death of the majority. This kind of selfish love is a taboo... It is unacceptable! Thank you for your teachings..."
"That's right... That's right..." Vanya said to Dorothy gratefully, and Dorothy responded to Vanya a little speechlessly. To be honest, she didn't expect Vanya to be able to understand such truths from her casual words. She thought that Vanya at least had a high talent for reading comprehension.
…
Under Dorothy's persuasion, Vanya gave up the idea of staying at the border of Adus and opening a hospital on the spot to treat patients, and instead let the entire delegation set off and continue on their journey towards Bibuserit.
After a period of journey, Vanya's delegation finally entered the territory of Buserit. After a period of trekking, they encountered two or three villages in succession. Almost all of them were affected by the plague, so that the people here were sick and fled.
As they went deeper into the Buserites, Dorothy, Vanya and others began to come into contact with this plague more and more, and also learned the Buserites' name for this plague. Since the most important symptom of this plague is the feeling of weakness and loss of strength, it is called "exhaustion plague."
