Chapter 452 I want to buy a skeleton! I want to open a hospital!
Finally came home.
Finally returned to his mage tower.
I finally had the normal food in Nevis. Oh, only the last one, Gretel didn’t think it was worth looking forward to.
Fried fish. He had eaten enough of this in the Kuromon Peninsula, and to be honest, the fried fish smelled delicious when it was freshly cooked, but as soon as it cooled down a little, it would make him sick to death;
Potato cakes. God knows that the Kuromon Peninsula is too far north and many things cannot be grown. Potatoes are their regular staple food;
Beet salad, red wine braised lamb, roast goose, oxtail soup, apple pudding, chicken pie...
Oh, and there are donuts, gingerbread, and delicious honey-soaked muffins.
The entire dinner, the fat content, meat content, and sugar content of the dessert series were obviously over the limit.
"First of all, let's drink to the beautiful elf lady!"
In the restaurant of the Mage Tower, Andrew Lynn was the first to raise his glass. Following his toast, everyone on the long table raised their glasses: Cerela, Norwood, Aurora, and the two apprentices at the back,
Miss Annevia, the priest of nature, and Leon, the necromancer...
Under the constant white light of the eternal flame, the red wine swayed gently, rippling out a gorgeous luster in the glass.
Look, look, I can’t even be ranked first in the toast list. Sure enough, they are all a group of guys who like the new and dislike the old. You don’t love me anymore...
Grete silently raised a glass of water, slandered and bumped it with everyone in turn. Ding-dang, ding-dong, ding-dong, and finally with a muffled sound, it hit the huge beer glass in Bernard's hand.
"Secondly, let's drink to Gretel's safe return!"
"Secondly, let's drink to Gretel's successful advancement and becoming a fifth-level magician and a fifth-level priest!"
The friends looked at each other and smiled. At the end of the long table, two apprentices cheered softly:
Although there is no shortage of fifth-level mages in the Mage Tower, the owner of the Mage Tower has advanced to the fifth-level priest, which still makes people feel more promising. At the very least, he will feel more confident when he goes to the council to take on projects in the future.
Gretel looked around and his smile became bigger. After traveling for more than half a year, he has made progress and his friends have not fallen behind either:
The mage badges on Linn and Aurora's chests have been replaced from five bronze stars to one gold star. They have obviously advanced to level six;
The badge on Master Norwood's chest also added a star. He looked radiant, with most of his white hair missing;
Even Leon Carlos, the apprentice of the Necromancer who was accompanying him at the end of the seat, wore an official mage badge, with a shining bronze star.
Grete stood up with a smile. He poured himself a full glass of water and held the glass high:
"Like me, everyone has advanced! Cheers to the success and progress of all of us!"
The people at the table stood up. Aurora stretched out her arms and touched the glass with him, shouting first:
"Of course you have to work hard to advance! If you don't advance, you will be surpassed!"
"That's right, when I first met you, you were not even a magician, but now you are a fifth-level mage." Lin En also smiled and clinked glasses with him, making a clanging sound:
"If I don't work harder, won't I be left behind by you?"
Moreover, Gretel is also a priest and a mage. After all, Linn, who only learned necromancy magic, should have taken a big advantage in terms of advancement speed.
"No way...Brother Lin En, in terms of combat ability, I won't be able to beat you even if I advance a few times!"
Grete was very impressed when he said this. When Linn was less than level 5, he was able to wander behind enemy lines and kill a bunch of people. He was chased to the sea by a level 7 knight, and he could still set up a counterattack. According to him, in
Before this, there was the experience of jointly exploring a certain strait with Master Gehrman...
When I met him, he traveled around alone with a golden skeleton and Mr. Troca. Unlike himself, the Magic Council wanted to put him under Igor Peak and never let him out for the rest of his life...
If the council's assessment of Linn's combat effectiveness is 10, its own assessment is probably only 0.5.
Everyone toasted one after another before calming down, waving their knives and forks, and officially started filling their bellies. Halfway through the meal, Gretel forked a piece of muffin and asked Linn with a smile:
"Is this still the craft of your skeleton?"
"How do you know?" Before Linn nodded, Cerela had already stretched out her head with great interest, rushing to ask questions. Her eyes were bright, and as soon as she finished speaking, she acted like lightning, forked a piece of muffin and stuffed it into her mouth.
Inside, chew hard:
"Hmm...it's not particularly sweet..."
"Because this tastes exactly the same as last time." Gretel smiled and looked at Cerela:
"When I first met Brother Lynn, he invited me to eat muffins, which were made by his golden skull. The sweetness and softness were exactly the same as the ones now."
"Is it true? Skeletons can also cook?" Cerira curiously chewed another piece, and then another piece, and after a while, she finished half the plate by herself:
"What else can he do? Can he cook? Can he barbecue?"
"Uh... In fact, even if skeletons can cook, they still need to be taught by their masters... Or, there are skeletons cultivated in batches in Black Crow Swamp for daily use, but if you want to learn new recipes, you need to buy new skeletons or use old ones.
The skeleton was sent for retraining..."
Is it so magical? Miss Silver Dragon opened her eyes wide and looked at the muffins and then at the other dishes on the table:
"It did all this too?"
Cerela had personally seen Gretel release the silver skeleton and control it to perform operations. She didn't dislike the clean and splendid skeleton. Linn's golden skeleton could also nod, shake hands, and
Take off the head and bow, then put the head back on, it looks very unique.
Now, I actually have another advantage: I can cook!
She often goes out to restaurants when traveling, and Serila, who has never cooked by herself, is eager to try it out. She really wants to make a skeleton to play with...
"Well, this golden skull is distributed internally by our school, and only elite students can get it." Lin En observed her words and quickly gave up her idea:
"Ordinary skeletons are also on sale, but except for the Necromancer, other schools are not very interested. They would rather buy the golems from the alchemy workshop. Hey, our skeletons are obviously cheaper than theirs, and they are easier to maintain..."
Gretel hid his face silently. Look, this is the effect of appearance. If every skeleton wears appearance, it will obviously open up the market.
"Do you think putting on the illusion will be useful?" Lin En looked at him with difficulty:
"First of all, magicians who can buy skeletons are more or less capable of [seeing through disguises]; secondly, the regular maintenance of skeletons still has to deal with Black Crow Swamp; the most important thing is that no matter how the appearance changes, the inside is still the same.
A skeleton can deceive others, but it cannot deceive yourself!"
There was nothing he could do about it if he had a mental disorder. However, Gretel thought to himself that he was well adapted to skeletons, and ordinary people didn't have the ability to see through the disguise. So...
"Brother Lin En, an ordinary skeleton, one that can lift people and do rough work, one with illusions, how much can I buy one? How many can we buy from our mage tower savings? A first-level necromancer, who can also control
several?"
"……What do you want to do?"
Linn looked at him warily. Seeing Gretel's high spirits and the way he was more interested in skeletons than necromancers, he always felt that he was going to do something big...
In fact, there are not so many skeletons in the mage tower. Most of the work can be completed by the tower spirit touching the SS to control the invisible servants. For the things that the invisible servants cannot do, the two apprentices, Annevia and Carlos, can easily take care of them.
Besides, Gretel is now a level 5 mage and can recruit apprentices normally. Of course, he, Aurora, has already reached this standard, but Gretel doesn't recruit people, so they can't get ahead...
"I want to open a hospital." Grete put down his knife and fork. He straightened his expression and looked at Linn seriously:
"Brother Lin En, you know me. My mage level advancement relies heavily on medical treatment. Therefore, I want to open a place that is open to everyone and allows them to get treatment. Of course, I can also do it on the side.
Do some related research.”
Without enough donations, not everyone who walks into the temple can receive treatment; the infectious disease hospital is not his own, and he cannot afford such a large institution; the treatment center at the port covers too little area.
When he visited the city for public health matters, he discovered that there were still too many poor people who had no access to any medical resources.
The more reason is that he wants to recruit a few apprentices and guide them to embark on this path together. To spread the flame of medicine, at the same time, he does research and performs operations himself, and at least he has some help!
Linn also put down the tableware in his hand. He stared at Grete's serious face, thought for a moment, and couldn't help laughing:
"Okay! With your current status, it is no problem to open a small treatment center and recruit three or five apprentices. I will go back and tell the teacher now that we can recruit five or six people from our lineage alone!
"
"Wait! I don't want to recruit all necromancers!"
Grete geared up and whipped out the planning drawings of the new hospital on the spot. This hospital was much larger in scale than his clinic in Heartland City:
A three-story building, with an outpatient department downstairs and an inpatient department upstairs. It has 20 beds, which can be expanded to 50 in extreme cases. There is also a scientific research building outside, where animals are raised and experiments are done.
The clinical department is equipped with internal medicine, surgery, and operating rooms; the medical technology department is equipped with a pharmacy, laboratory, and sterilization room. It is scheduled to have 5 therapists, 5 apprentices, plus a few skeletons to do rough work...
As for how to turn the blueprint into a hospital, Gretel confidently settled on Master Norwood, the oldest and most socially experienced person in the Mage Tower.
"Mr. Norwood! Could you please take a trip tomorrow and accompany me to the lower city to see where it is more suitable? Let's buy a piece of land to build a hospital!"
