Chapter 43 Double the treatment cost, double the happiness
A large pile of goods was placed in front of me. The square table at Gretel's house was packed to the brim, with almost no space left.
Two reams of writing paper - or official paper. Without comparison, Grete couldn't tell which was which. He could only judge that this paper was of much better quality than the hemp paper he brought today.
The paper used for the two magic scrolls is soft, white, and smooth. Although the appearance is not as good as the A4 paper in the previous life, compared with the pages I have seen during the day, it is already quite good.
Ten quill pens, with finely sharpened nibs, and a long and straight tangent in the center of the pen barrel. A pencil sharpening knife was included. Grete tried the steel tip and it seemed to be very sharp.
Two bottles of ink. A large five-ounce bottle, about three times the size of the hero ink in the previous life. It looks like it can be used for the first half of the year.
Grete counted his harvest. If the cheaper paper is official paper, which costs one gold coin per knife, then it is 20 gold coins. Two reams of magic paper cost 20 knives per ream, 25 sheets per knife, and four silver coins each.
Tsk... 400 gold coins.
A fine quill pen costs 4 silver coins, and a large bottle of ink costs 8 silver coins. Added together, it is 5 gold coins and 6 silver coins. Calculating the general ledger, the cost of this treatment is 425 gold coins...
I don’t know what the profit margin of that stationery store is. Even if it’s a profit and a profit, the old man still spends more than two hundred gold coins.
...But having said that, how much is the price of a life, or a magic spell that "cures fatal injuries" in this world?
Grete scratched his head, and then scratched his head again. The answer to this question was not very clear to him, but in the online articles he had read before, "healing fatal injuries" seemed to be a level 4, level 5, or level 6 magic? It must have cost thousands of gold coins anyway.
Starting out, ordinary people, even the ordinary middle class, cannot afford it...
If you think carefully about your past life, this is also the case. It is human nature. If spending money can save a life, most people will try their best. When encountering a serious illness, it is not unusual for a family to spend hundreds of thousands in the ICU——
If you are choked by a gold coin or something, you are lucky and can swallow it; if you are not lucky, you may die on the spot if the foreign body in your esophagus is blocked. Before, he immediately rescued the person, and even if he did not save his whole life, he saved half of it.
Life.
So for a shopkeeper to reward him with a few items from his shop, is that okay?
Gretel worked hard for a long time to mentally build up, and finally felt at ease. He looked at the piles of white paper on the table, and smiled little by little. Suddenly, he made fists with both hands and raised them high:
"yeah!"
Got money!
No, I have paper and pen!
Don’t worry about copying books anymore!
Forget about copying books, you won’t have to worry about copying scrolls in the future!
"Gretel, Gretel!"
There was a knock on the door outside. The sound sounded a bit familiar. Grete stood up and opened the door, and found that there were indeed two familiar people standing outside: one was his immediate boss's immediate boss, the Flynn Knight of their squadron, and the other was him yesterday afternoon.
At the military camp training ground, Knight Shiro hung his life.
Gretel invited them in. Knight Flynn swept the table and couldn't help but clicked his tongue:
"Little Gretel, you are rich! So many pens and papers?"
Gretel had no choice but to talk about his previous adventure. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Knight Flynn and Knight Ciro looking at each other with strange expressions on their faces. After a moment, Knight Flynn forced a smile and handed over a small money bag:
"Your salary this month, a little bit. - The captain has said that your salary will be based on that of the squad leader first. When your level goes up, I will apply for a raise for you. You don't have to be on duty. Just come to the military camp when you have time.
.”
Grete nodded vigorously.
Nolan Knight promised him yesterday that he didn't have to be on duty. It was an unexpected surprise for him to get a salary increase and so on~~~
Grete glanced at the desktop and thought that he should write out the battlefield first aid manual quickly. That thing would be popularized in the military camp and could save many people——
He took the money bag, Knight Flynn stepped back, and Knight Ciro stepped forward. The embarrassment on his face was visible to the naked eye. He scratched his hair and struggled for several seconds before taking out a silk money bag:
"Well, thank you for yesterday. I should have given it to you yesterday, but it was too late. You went out early today..."
"No need!" Grete jumped back reflexively. He turned his head back and looked left and right.
Just give him something, and it's something he's waiting to use, so that's it. Giving him money directly is too scary! Especially, after the treatment was completed yesterday, today I'm running around stuffing money into his hand!
This way, it always gives him the illusion of receiving a red envelope from a patient...
The medical department won't cause trouble for him, right?!
Grete's heart was pounding. It took him a while to realize that this place was already in another world. There was no hospital or medical department. Thinking of this, he felt a little sad. Seeing his expression of confusion, Knight Flynn took the money bag and gave it to him.
A piece of stuff in hand:
"Don't think it's too little. The Siro family is very tired. Two daughters were married this year, and the donation from the temple cannot be ignored. He did his best for these 10 gold coins. The rest can only be given one by one in the future.
Point given..."
10 gold coins?!
so much?!
It seems that the savings left by the original father are only so much...the original father is also a squadron leader?
Grete slowly opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and then quickly closed it. In his memory, his original father came from somewhere else and had no roots in Heartland City. Houses, armors, and weapons all cost nothing.
This box of books is extremely expensive and can drain a person's savings for several years...
All in all, ten gold coins is a lot!
Very much!
He waved his hands repeatedly and resisted with all his strength: "Isn't it the right thing to treat illnesses and save people? Besides, yesterday the temple arrested me for questioning. Uncle Shiluo, didn't you also go with me? - Please come forward once, and that's something no amount of money can buy.
Coming!"
The two knights looked at each other and smiled. Knight Flynn finally stepped forward, put the money bag into Gretel's hand, held his fist and squeezed it tightly. While squeezing, he said:
"Just take it if I tell you to. If you refuse to accept the money, we won't dare come to you for treatment if anything happens in the future."
"Is there a patient?"
Gretel was refreshed. Flynn Knight pondered for a moment:
"You said yesterday that the Roman knight's wrist should not be treated like that...can it be cured according to your method?"
Grete's face collapsed on the spot. Knight Flin shook his hand vigorously: "It's not him, it's not him. It's... do you remember Knight Barron? The best archer in the city, three years ago, his wrist was scratched here.
One knife..."
Knight Flynn stretched out his hand and checked the veins on his wrist: "At that time, the battle was fierce, so he could only bandage his wrist, pick up a knife and fight with others. If he tried to treat it the next day, he would not have the strength to draw the bow.
It’s just… like that, can it be cured?”
It sounds like a tendon injury...but that's not necessarily the case. It may be an injury to nerves or blood vessels. Grete pondered:
"I need to check it out. If it's what I think it is, there may be a bunch of equipment."
"No problem! I'll ask him to come to you tomorrow!"
