Chapter 456 I Want to Buy a Skeleton! I Want to Open a Hospital!
Finally home.
Finally returned to his mage tower.
Finally eating a normal Nevis diet. Oh, only the last one, Gretel didn’t think it was worth looking forward to.
Fried fish. He had eaten enough of this stuff in the Kuromon Peninsula, and to be honest, the fried fish smelled delicious when it was freshly cooked, and as long as it cooled down a little, it would make him sick to death;
Potato cakes. God knows that the Hermon Peninsula is too far north to grow many things. 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: Serira, Norwood, Aurora, and the two apprentices at the back, Miss Annevia, the God of Nature, Priest, 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 the first to receive a toast. Sure enough, we are all a group of guys who love the new and hate the old. You don’t love me anymore...
Grete silently raised a glass of water, slandering and touching it with everyone in turn. Ding-dong, 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!"
Friends smile at each other. 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 fact that the master of the Mage Tower has advanced to the fifth-level priest still makes people feel that life is more promising. At the very least, I will feel more confident when I go to the parliament to take on projects in the future.
Gretel looked around and smiled wider. 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 changed from five bronze stars to one silver star, obviously they have advanced to level six;
The badge on Master Norwood's chest has also been added with a star. He looks radiant and has lost most of his white hair;
Even the Necromancer apprentice Leon Carlos, who was accompanying him at the end of the seat, wore an official mage badge, with a shining bronze star.
Gretel 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!"
People at the table stood up. Aurora stretched her arms and touched the glass with him, shouting first:
"Of course I have to work hard to advance! If I don't advance, I will be surpassed by you!"
"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 also has dual professions as priest and mage. All in all, Lin En, 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!"
Gretel 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 was able to set up a counter-attack. According to him, before that, he and Gehrman The experience of mages teaming up to explore a certain strait...
When I met him, he traveled around alone with a golden skeleton and Mr. Trocca. 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 eating, 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 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, chewing 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 waffles made by his golden skull. The sweetness and softness were exactly the same as the ones now."
"Really? Skeletons can also cook?" Cerela chewed another piece curiously, 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 master... 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..."
So magical? Miss Yinlong 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 brilliant skeleton. And Lynn's golden skull can nod, shake hands, take off its head, bow, and then put it back on, which looks particularly 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..."
Grete hid her face in silence. Look, this is the role of appearance. If every skeleton is put on appearance, the market will obviously open up.
"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 will more or less know how to see 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 not yourself!"
This is something you can't do if you have a mental disorder. However, Gretel thought to himself that he was well adapted to skeletons, and ordinary people did not have the ability to see through the disguise. so……
"Brother Linn, 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 in the Mage Tower's savings? A first-level necromancer, who can also control several?"
"……What do you want to do?"
Linn looked at him warily. Seeing that Gretel is in high spirits and is more interested in skeletons than necromancers, I always feel that he is going to do something big...
We can't actually use that many skeletons in the mage tower. Most of the work can be completed by using the tower spirit MOSS to control the invisible servants. What the invisible servants couldn't do, the two apprentices, Annievia and Carlos, took care of it easily.
Besides, Gretel is now a level 5 mage and can recruit apprentices normally. Of course, he and Aurora have already reached this standard, but Grete doesn’t recruit people, so it’s hard for them to get ahead...
"I want to open a hospital." Gretel put down his knife and fork. He straightened his expression and looked at Lin En seriously:
"Brother Linn, 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 by the way. 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. Spreading the flames of medicine, at the same time, he does research and performs surgeries on his own, and at least he has some help!
Lin En also put down the tableware in his hand. He stared at Gretel's serious face, thought for a moment, and couldn't help laughing:
"Okay! With your current status, it is no longer a problem to open a small treatment center and recruit three or five apprentices. - I will go back and tell the teacher now. Just from our lineage, we can fill five or six people. come over!"
"Wait! - I don't want to recruit all necromancers!"
Grete was eager to get ready and immediately produced the planning drawings of the new hospital. This hospital is much larger than his clinic in Heartland City:
A three-story building with an outpatient department downstairs and an inpatient department upstairs. It has 20 beds and can be expanded to 50 in extreme cases. There is a scientific research building outside, where animals are raised and experiments are conducted.
The clinical department includes internal medicine, surgery, and operating rooms; the medical technology department includes a pharmacy, laboratory, and sterilization room. Schedule 5 healers, 5 apprentices, plus some skeletons to do rough work...
As for how to turn the blueprint into a hospital, Grete confidently fell in love with 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!"
