Chapter 467: Gathering People Around to Prepare for Opening! (Just Like the Black and White Silent Film Leader Plus Update 6)
Once the Lord of Thunder takes action, it is natural that everything will be unfavorable.
In the first hour, the magician he called returned happily holding the semi-finished paper;
On the first night, infrared, ultraviolet, and frequency measurements were completed;
At noon the next day, the finished paper had been transferred from the Thunder Lord's desk to the desks of the review editors of "Arcana" and the desks of the review committee members...
Then, the next night, unable to wait for the paper to be drafted, scheduled, and published, two apprentices came to Grete's mage tower and knocked on the door with letters of introduction from their mentors.
"...What? Someone is coming now?"
Grete looked up from behind "Arcane" with a confused look on his face: "My paper hasn't been published yet, has it?"
He was given a lot of homework by the Lord of Thunder, and he is currently in a desperate situation. "Arcane", "Magic", "Ordinary Magician's Monthly", and "Thunder", these four journals are all high-end publications of the Parliament. The articles in it are more difficult and more brain-burning than the last...
Just by chewing them off, Grete's brain's CPU was already overclocked to 200%. There is no such thing as understanding of world affairs and understanding of human feelings. Their brains have been burned dry and there are no brain cells to share with them.
"What are you thinking! Of course you didn't log it out!" Lin En looked at him with an expression of hatred, wishing he could roll up a book of "Arcane" and knock twice on his forehead:
"So you should think about who are the people who can get the news now!"
"Ah...oh..."
Gretel shook his head to cool down his skull, and finally came to his senses. I pulled my thoughts away from the paper and allocated the extra computing power to the current situation. I immediately figured out what was going on:
"Is it recommended by the person who wrote the thesis with me? Or was it recommended by the editor of "Arcane"? Or was it recommended by my senior brother and sister? - No, the last one is impossible, the teacher banned it..."
"It's the editor of "Arcana"." OK, not too stupid. Linn's tone softened a bit:
"The letters of introduction between the two people both have the secret mark of the Archmage. But they are not autographed letters. It is probably a roundabout favor requested by a student or nephew. One is from the Archmage Herrera of the Change Department, and the other is from the Archmage Herrera of the Change Department. The position was recommended by Archmage Cramer of the Charm Control Department."
"The favor of the Archmage must be given." The editor of "Arcana" must give even more face. After all, you have to rely on yourself to publish papers in the future, and the teacher cannot protect you for the rest of your life. Gretel muttered:
"How are people?"
"A mage apprentice, 14 years old, is the great-nephew of an old friend of the archmage. He came from another province. He has been studying magic for a year and a half and has not yet decided on a direction. There is also another one who is the nephew of a student of the archmage and is at the first level in the magic control department. Master, 19 years old.”
This resume doesn't sound very impressive. When an apprentice advances to become a formal magician, the time limit for food, shelter, and support in the wizard's tower is up to two years; if he fails to advance within two years, he will go home and eat on his own. One and a half years later, it has almost reached its upper limit;
A 19-year-old first-level mage, if counted from the age of 14 - which is also the average age of students admitted by the three magic academies - is almost reaching the upper limit of the mage tower's support. In Gretel's elite class, the seventeen or eighteen-year-olds are almost ready to advance to the second level.
Seeing as Lin En didn't even bother to tell them their names, his evaluation of those two people was probably ordinary. Fortunately, the mage tower's recruitment of apprentices is not the same as the mage's recruitment of disciples. They are basically just workers. Gretel nodded:
"Okay, let them work with you - Brother Linn, and Oro, do you want to accept apprentices?"
"We have our own channels." In fact, Lin En has already spread the word through his senior brothers in the past few days, and it is estimated that the interview can start within a week. He is only at level six, and he only wants to accept one disciple for the time being, so he has to choose carefully.
As for Aurora, Archmage Carlisle has not yet allowed him to accept a disciple...
Although it's nice to be cared about, but from Linn's point of view, he hopes that Gretel will work hard to advance:
"Others are here for you, just pick what you can use."
Grete nodded quickly. Although he would prefer those in the medical branch of transformation and conjuration, he is short of manpower, so he will make do with it. Someone is swiping bottles and test tubes to check papers. I’m happy (▽)
After these two, three or four more apprentices came one after another, holding notes from the archmage and members of the review committee. Grete accepts all comers:
The mage tower provides food, accommodation and reading, and provides limited research conditions. Apprentices must work hard and get out immediately if they cannot advance in two years. Parliament has an existing system that is quite fair.
Now that we have the manpower to do the work, the treatment center is making rapid progress. Gretel was reading the paper while writing the application. Before the week was over, he received the approval from the Magic Council’s Review Committee through the Magician Management Department:
Granted Gretel Nordmark permission to open a medical research institute in the name of Mage Tower. Research expenses, a one-time allocation of 5,000 contribution points, will be paid in the following ways:
1. The land occupied by the research institute will be allocated at a discount of 500 contribution points;
2. The construction of the institute’s house will be discounted at 500 contribution points;
3. The institute’s fixed magic facilities and equipment enchantments are discounted by 3,500 points (list attached);
4. Healing potions and magic materials are discounted by 500 points;
In addition, the council provides a monthly allowance of 500 contribution points to magicians working in the institute. Accordingly, the research institute has the obligation to provide no less than 10 third-level healing spells to the subjects designated by the council every month (spells below third-level are calculated in proportion to third-level treatment).
It’s still pretty good!
Grete calculated happily: He was already a fifth-level mage and a fifth-level priest. He should learn the two magical skills of treating serious injuries and removing diseases as soon as possible. In this way, he could cast third-level healing spells by himself.
No, wait, some very straightforward injuries, such as a broken arm or a broken leg, can be treated by Appa!
Appa can also throw healing skills!
Then, you don’t have to hire too powerful magicians and save a lot of money~~~
A third-level magician or a third-level priest is almost enough. The salary of low-level priests is not high. In this case, if you contribute 500 points every month, there will be some surplus after paying the salary, which can be transferred to research funds.
If you can produce good results and write a paper, you can get a sum from the parliament; if you develop a unique treatment method and sell public health services, you can get another sum. Adding the two amounts together, the income and expenditure of the Medical Research Institute can almost be balanced.
Awesome!
Grete, come on!
The medical clinic was built with a bang. Leveling the ground, building roads, digging foundations, building houses...the same thing happens one day, but changes drastically in three days. The location chosen was still in the wilderness that Grete had initially favored, which belonged to the parliament.
Far is a little far. But Gretel rode Apa and took a detour from the edge of Nevis City, which allowed him to increase his speed. Racing at full speed on the outer ring, crossed out, racing Silver Moon Deer at full speed in the wild, the commuting time does not even take half an hour one way.
It was perfect~~~In his previous life, it took him an hour to get to the hospital from his home even if he took the bus!
Gretel was elated. We have a place and a house, but we still need manpower. Grete also took this opportunity to go to Elder Wood, the God of War Temple, and several familiar medical magicians, and walked around each:
Someone is coming!
Someone come and do the work!
Elder Wood, I am here to give you free guidance on exclusive healing techniques. Isn’t it delicious?
Here at the God of War Temple, I give free guidance on battlefield first aid. Isn’t it delicious?
And the big guys in the medical department, do your apprentices really don’t need an internship?
Of course, the necromancy system cannot be forgotten. Grete took Leon Carlos, who he had touched and who had now advanced to the first-level mage, to visit Archmage Edgar. The Archmage was very dissatisfied with him:
"Only two places are given? What's the use of two places? At least five! Did you hear that, Gretel? Five! One less, so don't go back today!"
"...But my medical clinic is only so big..." Grete couldn't laugh or cry:
"Now there are twelve apprentices, doing research in shifts and treating patients in shifts. There are enough manpower! If there are more, we can only bear the hospital chores!"
"Choreles are chores!" Archmage Edgar puffed his beard and glared, refusing to reason with him at all:
"Why do you have any pretensions as an apprentice? Sweep the floor, clean the windows, wash the sheets, whatever you want, leave it to them! There are five places, no less! - For every apprentice accepted, Black Crow Swamp will give you one A corpse!”
Hey, what kind of exchange is this? Buy an apprentice and give him a corpse!
Gretel really wanted to complain. However, he had to admit that he was shamefully tempted:
"Well, Your Excellency, Archmage, I want to explain something first. If there is a suitable one among these apprentices, I would like to accept him as a disciple - if he does accept a disciple, I will not return him!"
"Collect, collect, collect!" His Excellency the Immortal's words during the legendary gathering obviously spread throughout the Black Crow Swamp. Archmage Edgar was very happy:
"Accept whomever you like, it's better if you accept them all! If you can teach a great mage and pass on the skeletons given by the Immortal, you will be the honorary elder of Black Crow Swamp!"
"..."
Gretel retreated. If you think about it carefully, you can accept less mages from other departments in the hospital, but you really need a few more necromancers. At the very least, those skeletons that sweep the floor, clean the windows, pour water, and push the carts to transport patients must be controlled by the necromancer...
"Well, Your Excellency Archmage, I'll place an order for 10 skeletons to do rough work first. -Buy them in bulk, and the illusion appearance will be cheaper for me!"
The healers are in place, the apprentices are in place; the rats used as experimental animals are in place, the rabbits are in place, the dogs are in place, and the pigs are in place. Gretel sent Bernard around the city again and got ten barbarians:
Four are guarding the door of the hospital, and four are maintaining order in the consulting rooms and wards. There are two others who are responsible for raising rats, rabbits, dogs, pigs, and all experimental animals...
In short, Grete was very happy to realize his dream of using barbarians as security guards. You no longer have to worry about medical troubles or anything like that.
When Gretel's paper on infrared and ultraviolet rays was published in the new issue of "Arcane", Gretel's new hospital was ready to open.

Another update completed!
Wuwuwuwuwu The temperature is cooling down today, so cold...
I stretched out my paws tremblingly, asking for subscriptions, monthly votes, recommendation votes, book reviews, and all kinds of things...
Tomorrow I can play magic happily again, yeah~~~
I asked in the group how long it takes to measure the wavelength of light, and a master replied: I have done the experiment, and it took two hours...
Five-body cast……
