Chapter 658: The Wonderful Interview Trip of "Nevis Herald"

"Painless delivery?"

Blake Shearer, the new editor of the Nevis Herald, pushed up his glasses and asked in disbelief.

Black was once a student at Bridge Academy of Magic, studying necromancy. However, after two years of study, he could not even advance from a mage apprentice to a formal magician. He was judged to have no talent and no value in training.

And the employment opportunities for necromancers are extremely narrow, so narrow that it's sad. In contrast, it was the intellectual education he received while learning magic that allowed him to find a job as an editor...

The Nevis Herald is not a mainstream newspaper in Nevis, but it is not comparable to a third-rate tabloid. The target readers are mainly businessmen, workshop owners and city hall clerks, those who have a reasonable income, a certain degree of education, and a conscious obligation to change society...

Of course, if you want to change society, you must keep up with technological changes. As for technological changes, the most cutting-edge trends are in "Arcana" and "Magic", as well as the latest research of magicians.

Blake Shearer got the job, hosting a column in the Nevis Herald dedicated to informing citizens about magic that could change their lives.

To this end, he has been keeping in touch with his classmates and seniors in the college, and also heard the latest version from them...

"Yes, painless delivery!"

His classmate Daniel Moder answered affirmatively:

"Have you heard of cesarean section? There was an article in the last issue of "Arcane" and "Magic". It was developed by Master Nodmark at our Oak Grove Medical Clinic. Now he is leading us to research on cesarean section. Painful childbirth…”

Blake Shearer certainly knows about cesareans. He even went to the White Tower to borrow these two journals and asked Daniel for a lot of inside information. Using this information, he published an article:

"Caesarean section can greatly reduce the maternal mortality rate. It can be said to be one of the most useful medical methods in this era. Unfortunately, the cost of a cesarean section, magic and surgery together is as high as 2,000 gold coins. This is Let it be destined to serve only the rich and powerful..."

As soon as this article came out, the sales volume of the current newspaper increased by 500 copies, and readers continued to write and inquire. For this, he received a bonus of one gold coin. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper appreciated him very much and promised to give him a salary increase at the end of the year:

"What a pity. If there was better content that was more relevant to our readership, you would get a salary increase now! Be promoted to senior editor! Young man, you are the only editor with a magic background in our newspaper, and I am optimistic about you!"

Blake was greatly encouraged and came to find new content from his classmates. This time, he got a surprise:

"I know you think cesarean section is too expensive, but this time is different!" Daniel leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, his eyes shining:

"The cost of painless delivery is much lower! The current price is 100 gold coins for the entire painless delivery. If it is painless only for the most painful few hours, it only costs a dozen gold coins!"

"It's so good!"

Blake was immediately excited. A dozen gold coins is almost equal to the income of the readers of the Nevis Herald for several months, half a year, or at most a year. With such an income, my wife will suffer less pain during childbirth...

There must be someone willing! Someone will definitely care about this news!

Blake's first thought was to apply to visit a medical clinic. Before he could finish his thoughts, he was photographed back by himself:

What an interview! Through interviews alone, you won’t be able to get the first-hand, freshest information that readers care about most! To make big news, readers should be immersed in it!

And it just so happened that his wife was about to give birth...

Blake gritted his teeth, took out fifteen gold coins, thought for a while, and then discharged five gold coins that were covered with light, one after another. As a new editor, his one-year salary, plus bonuses, and deducting food expenses, the rest is here:

"My dear, I will take you to a good place! Maybe it can help you give birth safely and avoid a lot of pain..."

The carriage stopped at the door of the Oak Grove Infirmary, or, as the coachmen called it, the Red Cross, and someone was immediately there to pick it up. Seeing his wife's heavy belly and struggling to walk, two barbarians even brought out a stretcher and directly helped her onto the stretcher:

"Are you coming here to give birth? Madam will be sent directly to the red house. Sir, go this way and register at the front desk of the clinic first..."

After registering his name, age, address, and month of pregnancy, and paying three days of hospitalization expenses—one gold coin per day—Blake Shearer was taken to join his wife. In the corridor inside the red house, silent nurses in white clothes walked around quickly, carrying stretchers, changing bedding, and sending pregnant women...

Including the mothers in labor, the stretcher bed weighing more than 200 pounds was as light as nothing in the hands of two petite nurses in white.

Blake always found the way they moved a bit strange. I rubbed my eyes, then rubbed my eyes again, and suddenly realized:

Isn’t this a skeleton soldier trying to hide his skin?

The necromancer's favorite trick when he was in the academy!

Why are the workers all skeletons? Is it still too late for me to take my wife away now? !

However, the wallet told him that 3 gold coins had been paid, and he had agreed in advance that no refund would be given;

Reason told him that Oak Grove Medical Clinic is the safest delivery care facility in Nevis, and the fees are much cheaper than hiring a midwife and a magician to come to your home together;

The front desk told him that due to his status as a magician, his wife could receive half the discount on delivery services at Oak Grove Medical Center...

Forget it, forget it, people can't have trouble with their wallets. Blake Shearer accompanied his wife and was taken to a small empty room. Except for a bed, a stool, and a deer antler on the wall, there was nothing in the room...

"Madam, please face the wall, sit down on the stool, sit up straight. Take off your shirt and expose your back - yes, that's fine -" The female nurse who guided them had a gentle smile and a friendly language:

"A spell caster will come over to check you later. He is male, but he can only see your back. He is at least 1 meter away from you and will not touch you. Don't be afraid~~~"

"Wait, why male?"

Blake and his wife asked at the same time. The female nurse’s smile remains unchanged:

"Oh, because all female spell casters work in the delivery room. As much as possible, let men do these tasks that don't come into contact with the mother's body -"

At this time, the door opened, and a necromancer walked in quickly, and looked face to face with Blake. The two of them were startled, and the Necromancer immediately retreated:

"Old classmate? Then I don't have to do the work, you can do it yourself. Use [Detection Magic] to look at your wife, and use [Mage's Trick] to dye and mark the sixth thoracic vertebra on the back - this is for painless For labor positioning, don’t find the wrong position!”

After saying that, there was a bang and the door closed. Blake Shearer: "..."

He had no choice but to roll up his sleeves. Fortunately, in the process of learning to become a necromancer, the knowledge I mastered was not fully returned to the teacher. After stumbling and stumbling, I finally found the sixth thoracic vertebra. After completing the marking, he sent his wife out and quietly grabbed the old classmate:

"...Hey, I did this job, can I waive some of the treatment costs?"

"What are you thinking! You didn't charge these fees at all! Master Nordmark had to do a project and waived a large amount of fees in the name of research. Otherwise, do you think the accommodation fee of 3 gold coins is enough? - Stop talking. , next inspection!”

The next check is also done by a male mage. Moreover, he is also a male necromancer.

Blake Shearer watched helplessly as his wife was helped onto the bed, her legs spread and raised. Fortunately, there is no need to take off clothes - only the nurse repeatedly asks: "There are no metal objects on the body, right? There are no metal objects on the edges of the clothes, the belt, or the pockets, right?"

Then a necromancer knelt between his wife's legs and unleashed his magic, looking from top to bottom, front to back, and from all angles. Not only look, but also compare with a ruler:

"The anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic entrance is 11cm!"

"Interspinous diameter of ischium, 9.8cm!"

"Width of sciatic notch, 5.8cm!"

"The biparietal diameter of the fetal head is 8.9cm!"

...What is this guy doing?

Judging from the casting gesture, it seems to be the [Detection Magic] he used just now, but can he see the size of the fetus' head in this way?
