This was a mysterious disease that was once called incurable even in the past of the world where Joo-hwa lived. During the Age of Exploration, which began in the 15th century, diseases were common among sailors.

The reason why sailors on long-distance voyages often get caught is simple.

'The voyage between continents is an incredibly long battle, and the food that can be kept fresh on a ship for a long time is limited.'

In other words, it was a disease caused by not eating foods containing vitamin C.

Therefore, the treatment was deceptively simple.

"This problem can be solved by simply consuming enough vitamin C.'

But if she keeps her mouth shut, scurvy will plague the people of this world for a very long time. Even in modern times, the term 'vitamin' was discovered only in the 20th century.

'So of course we can't find out why you get scurvy or the cause."

So, I have no choice but to explain it in an easy-to-understand manner

"These people said they visited the Eastern Continent very recently, right? They would have been isolated on the ship for a very long time and would have consumed only a limited amount of food during that time. Because I was unable to consume various nutrients, internal bleeding, or all kinds of bleeding within the body, occurred and I became sick."

Fortunately, Sylvien and Raphael seemed to think it was plausible. SyIvien asked.

"So do you think there is a way?"

"Yes. The treatment is very simple. All you have to do is make up for the nutritional shortcomings."

In modern times, it is an easy disease that can be cured with just a few vitamin injections. But since there is nothing like that here, we have no choice but to get enough food.

"Please prepare the fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs I request. For now, if you're in a hurry, add oranges, lemons, limes, and......."

"This is nonsense!"

At that time, the man who had been listening quietly in the corner shouted out loud.

Maybe he was in his 40s? A man wearing a doctor's uniform approached with great strides.

"My name is Isaac. I've been a doctor for half my life, but I've never even heard of a treatment like that!"

Kanna frowned. But it was unavoidable. Because it was a natural opinion for a person of this era. However...

"You're giving fruit to syphilis?

"I'm afraid because she's not a woman, so she gives a really low-level solution!"

Kanna completely understood for not believing in the treatment, but it was hard to bear being belittled because she was a woman. Kanna quickly countered.

"Hey, Doctor. If it was syphilis, mercury treatment would have been effective. But I heard that not a single sailor has improved so far?"

"That..."

Isaac's face became blurred.

"If it's not syphilis, it's probably the Black Fog. Since the mercury treatment did not work, it is possible that he was infected with Black Fog."

"If you are infected with the Black Fog, your mind will collapse and your hair and eyes will turn black."

"No! Not all infected people change that way. But most things change that way."
