Chapter 710 Give the Queen a Blood Transfusion? Please Be Sure to Use Mine!
"A black velvet horse."
"A glass tea set inlaid with gold filigree."
"A pair of crystal vases."
"A piece of lake blue silk, the pattern is quite beautiful."
"A bottle of wine, I don't know if it's champagne or something else. It looks quite old..."
Gretel checked the gifts at the door, and the more he looked at them, the more confused he became.
In terms of purpose, most of these gifts are just for looks and have no practical effect;
In terms of value, at least those he estimated were between 50 gold coins and 100 gold coins. To say hello politely is too much, and to ask for something is too little;
Regarding the other party's demands... By the way, what do the other parties want?
The doorman couldn't tell. Grete looked through the name card and gift list, but did not see any additional information. It's really troublesome, otherwise I'd better send someone back...
As soon as I thought of this, there was a polite knock on the apartment door. This time, several acquaintances came to visit side by side:
Baroness Vitegue, the female knight Selina, and Viscount Garter, nephew of the Thundering Swordmaster and secretary of the Knights of the Flower of Thorns. The three people filed in and took their place on the sofa, looking...
It seems like they are competing with each other?
Gretel pretended not to notice and sent the invisible servant to serve tea. Baroness Witteg took a sip of tea and took the lead in opening the topic. She looked left and right, her eyes fell on the pile of gift boxes in the corner, and she said with a smile:
"They move very quickly."
"???"
Gretel urged her to explain with his eyes. The Baroness smiled reservedly and wanted to explain from the beginning, but Salina couldn't wait to interrupt:
"Mage Nordmark, we are here for the same thing. - The Baroness said that before you perform the operation, you need to prepare a group of people to donate blood to the Queen? We hope that we can get the opportunity to devote ourselves to the Queen..."
"Yes!"
Viscount Garter's back was straight.
The Knights of the Flower of Thorns are nominally the commander of the Royal Guard, and their leader, Thunder Swordsman, is nominally the commander of the guard. But of course, the Sword Master will not take care of these mundane matters. In fact, he is commanding the guards around the queen——
"The Royal Guards are all great boys! Every one of them hopes to get this opportunity!"
"And the girls." Selina glanced sideways at him, her tone was light, and she seemed a little dissatisfied. As the vice-captain of the female escort team, she naturally has the obligation to speak for the team members:
"Everyone, including me, is ready to sacrifice blood for the Queen."
"Of course, there are also the nobles and female officials of the court." Baroness Witteg said with a smile:
"Master Nordmark, I know that if you want to perform an operation on the Queen, there will be no shortage of blood transfusions. But I hope that you can give priority to us - blood donors who are noble, pure, and loyal to the Queen."
Um, want to be a member of a blood donation team?
Gretel looked them up and down. There were no such good things in the previous life. Except for major disasters like earthquake relief, where a large number of people donated blood voluntarily, most of the time, if you wanted a blood transfusion, you had to go to the blood station and beg your grandfather or grandma——
Blood is not enough daily and will never be enough. An unplanned operation went awry, and 10,000 cc of blood was used to save the patient. This would make the surgeon famous throughout the city, and he would be looked down upon by the hospital's hematology department for several years.
But of course, giving a blood transfusion to the Queen is different. Grete could even imagine that this experience could become a significant milestone in the promotion process of a nobleman——
"My blood flows in the Queen's veins!"
With this qualification, maybe a squad leader can be promoted to a squadron leader, a knight can be promoted to a lord, and maybe he can get something on his family emblem?
But Gretel doesn't care about this. For him, as long as you prepare enough blood sources and I can't find anyone when I need a blood transfusion, that's fine. As for who to let go, since there are many people, you can pick and choose:
"Professionals above level five don't need it." He first drew a red line. Seeing the disappointment clearly visible on the faces of Salina and Viscount Garter, he added:
"The Queen is only a first-level priest. It is not yet clear what side effects the blood of high-level professionals will have if it is injected into the bodies of low-level professionals. To be on the safe side, it is better not to use it."
"Oh..." The two knights looked at each other and could only express their acceptance.
The mage's caution is understandable. This is just like taking certain medicines, bathing in dragon's blood, etc. If you are not in a state of mind, you can easily get into trouble. Such a great honor can only be given to subordinates.
"Secondly, those who are younger than 18 years old, older than 40 years old, who are not physically strong enough, whose high blood pressure exceeds 145, whose low blood pressure is not higher than 60, who weigh less than 100 pounds for women, and less than 120 pounds for men, are not allowed."
Gray glanced pointedly at Baroness Witeiger:
"The body is too weak, the weight is too low, and I will faint after drawing a little blood. When the time comes, should I rescue the queen or him?"
The Baroness smiled wryly. Once this line was drawn, the group of aristocratic ladies, especially the aristocratic ladies who did not practice martial arts, did not know how to quarrel with her. Well, we have to think of a way to suppress their dissatisfaction——
"By the way, all blood donors must undergo examinations in advance to ensure their health. This includes but is not limited to observing the skin, eyes, auscultating the heart and lungs, and pressing the abdomen..."
"What?!"
At this moment, the two female nobles straightened their backs together. If they were not sitting on the sofa, they would almost jump up on the spot. Selina's voice was a bit shrill:
"Mage Nordmark, you can't do this! They are all ladies from noble families!"
She looked at Gretel with burning eyes. Cerela snorted softly, leaned towards Gretel, and stood in front of him:
What are you doing?
Want to protest?
Want to take action?
Whatever Gretel says is what it is! Especially that female knight, I know you can definitely beat Gretel in close combat, but with me here, don't even think about hurting her!
Grete shrank back unconsciously. If this was a previous life, no one would doubt his intentions: physical examinations are required before donating blood, and there are enough female doctors to conduct physical examinations for female blood donors.
But now...
"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand." He shook his hands wildly:
"It's just that I need to make sure that everyone who donates blood to the Queen is in good health and will not be infected with any diseases. Especially liver diseases, and some..."
syphilis? Flower or willow disease? Diseases easily contracted by unclean behavior?
Wouldn't it be inappropriate to say this directly in front of two, no, three ladies?
Grete was still in a dilemma, the expression on his face betrayed him. Baroness Witeiger's face had darkened and her voice was trembling:
"They are all chaste young ladies and madams! Such a thing will not happen!"
It's over, these ladies, don't fight for a chance to transfuse blood for the Queen in order to prove your chastity, right? Grete's voice also became louder:
"Tell them that during menstruation, as well as three days before and three days after menstruation, women's coagulation function will be relatively poor and they cannot donate blood. Because the Queen's delivery date is uncertain, it is not easy to determine when it will be convenient for them. This time, blood donations are limited to men! Not negotiable!"
For men, I can even observe the private parts directly! Anything suspicious will be ruled out, saving me the trouble of having to do blood tests one by one!
The silver stain test for Treponema pallidum is so difficult to do! If you can eliminate it with the naked eye, never do it!
