Chapter 816 Gretel, Do You Want to Take the Path of a Knight?
The wedding of King Brolin and Princess of the Kingdom of Boi was the most luxurious and most talked-about wedding in mainland China for a century.
At the wedding, all the roads from the palace to the church were covered with carpets, with wooden boards underneath the carpets.
In order to show respect to the Lord of Glory, even the king must walk to the church in person, and these floors and carpets ensure that the nobles' shoes, clothes and skirts will not be stained with the slightest trace of dirt.
King Charles II of Brolin walked slowly in front, wearing a dress fully embroidered with magical runes in mithril silk and inlaid with diamonds to provide magical energy.
Behind the king, the young queen, Princess Thalia from the Kingdom of Boi, wore a dress embroidered with silver thread and brocade. Two noble ladies held up the skirt for her and walked behind the king.
The skirt of the queen's dress is studded with pearls the size of rice grains, adding a layer of aqua halo to the floor-length dress——
Obviously, the power flowing through this dress, which was only worn once at the wedding and then shelved forever, was no less powerful than the king's wedding dress.
After the wedding, the chief steward of the Kingdom of Brolin led 36 palace attendants at the level of trainee knights, and 12 officers of honor holding gold and silver scepters, who were at least knights, escorting the food delivery team into the palace.
A large number of delicacies that the people of the kingdom had never dreamed of appeared in rows and rows at the banquet after the wedding:
The monster moonlight ray caught in the black sea can possess the power of soft moonlight after one bite. Only a piece of meat from the gills is taken, and the rest is used to reward the servant;
The colorful magical birds captured in the New World are plucked and steamed, and then the feathers are inserted back one by one and served to the dining table vividly;
Twelve gold plates with a diameter of three feet were filled with castles made of white sugar. The city walls were covered with gold foil, and various candies were used to shape vivid flowers, plants, birds and animals;
The golden dates, which are only produced deep in the orc kingdom, will automatically flow with honey when touched. The whole plate is placed on the long table, allowing all the guests to enjoy it as they please...
Of course, there is an unlimited supply of chickens and ducks that were cultivated in the palace pasture and grew up eating spices and medicines, as well as cattle and sheep that grew up eating magic plants. As long as the guests are willing, they can eat until they vomit.
Only the nobles with the most noble status and the most trust of the king are qualified to attend the king's wedding. Most of the low-level nobles and knights could only stand in the square of the palace, waiting for the king and the queen to appear on the balcony, smiling and waving to them——
"Ah, she is so beautiful!"
"Platinum hair! Rose-colored smile!"
"As expected of the princess closest to the glory!"
"She saw me! She saw me! Ah, I think my heart is drunk. From today on, I will dedicate everything to the beautiful queen!"
On the balcony, flowers, candies and gold coins rained down as the king and queen smiled and waved. Dots of holy light hovered over the palace. That was the blessing from the Glory Holy See, the archbishop stationed in the royal capital, personally for the king and queen.
And these blessings were quickly overwhelmed. At the end of the dinner, the bright music of the clarinet sounded in the palace, followed by a large ensemble of various musical instruments. After three hymns in praise of the Lord of Glory, lively dance music began, and the dance lasted all night long.
In the Kingdom Square and on the city streets, the citizens crowded together could not see all this. They raised their heads greedily and looked at the brilliant and fleeting fireworks blooming in the night sky——
The fireworks set off for the king's wedding are colorful and varied. The golden lily, the emblem of the Brolin royal family, the blue cornflower, the emblem of the Rhine Kingdom, the peacock with its tail feathers spread, the mermaid with splashing water drops...
The fireworks rising high even covered up the holy light that represented blessings shed by the glorious Holy See.
In a back alley, under the wall, a hungry little girl raised her palms to try to catch a small falling firework.
"It's so beautiful...I really want to..."
This extravagant wedding, with its attendant banquets, balls, fireworks, and subsequent month-long dances and performances, was not without its cost. According to statistics from the Kingdom’s Finance Minister, this sum alone has cost the Kingdom a full 20 years of fiscal revenue.
Of course, the huge cost of the wedding was, as always, financed by debt from businessmen. The young new king and the queen mother who wanted to show off her national power all had the same attitude towards this huge debt:
"Then raise taxes——"
Anyway, the taxes from farmers, citizens and businessmen will never be collected, right?
Gretel didn't know anything about such a grand wedding, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. No matter how grand the wedding is, can he be allowed to see it?
Even if you arrive at the scene and see it, is there a good location? Are there any seats with the best view? Is there a lighting with the best angle that can best highlight the actor’s beauty? Is there a camera that keeps switching to capture every detail of the scene?
If he didn't have any of these, he might as well recall the movies he watched in his previous life. Relying on the memory bonus brought by time travel, close your eyes and you will have everything.
Oh, except maybe jewelry. However, do the Carolingian kings and queens have any jewelry that is luxurious enough to surpass the jewelry collection of Serreira?
After all, it was impossible for Serila's treasures to belong to him, but he could look at them and touch them whenever he wanted. You can hold it in your hand and play with it at close range, or you can immerse yourself in your mental power to sense the internal structure, whatever you want.
So now, Gretel is tireless and still immersed in his fields of medicine and magic. The biggest task at present is to deal with the child with scoliosis on the other side of the strait——
So far, he has become very proficient in making animal models of scoliosis in dogs. However, the success rate of subsequent corrective surgeries has remained very stable...
Stable at zero percent.
wry smile.
You can use scissors to cut, files to file, and guide growth to guide growth, so that the bent bones can be reset. However, he has never been able to protect the nerves that radiate through the spine to the surroundings 100%.
If you are less lucky, the dog will go into shock while doing it, die, and cannot be saved; if you are more lucky, the dog will survive until the end of the exercise, and then it will be paralyzed...
"Ahhh, spinal surgery, Goddess, it's so difficult!" Gretel held his head and groaned. He swayed around with his eyes closed for a while before standing upright again:
"Wash your hands, change the isolation gown, and change the surgical instruments. Bring the dog over again, and I will do the surgery again! Serira, put on the microscope for me—"
I can’t believe that even after magnifying it ten times, I still can’t perform this surgery!
The skin is opened, the muscles are retracted, and the nerve roots are exposed. Grete concentrated on it, using the nerve hook in his left hand and the microscopic forceps in his right hand to expose it bit by bit. The surgical instruments transformed by the mage's hands slide along the outer edge of the nerve sheath, deforming, trying hard not to cause any harm...
"Oops!" Shaking again!
He hung his head in frustration. The operations of neurosurgery are much more delicate than those of general surgery. A slight twitch of a finger, which may not be visible to the naked eye, can move from one side of the lens to the other under a microscope——
Before he could react or restrain himself, the irreversible consequences had already been caused.
Gretel took a deep breath and tried to hold his breath to minimize the trembling of his hands. Hold it, hold it! Forward, forward, a little further forward, until you reach the nerve sheath, don't move!
He felt to himself that the dangling fingers had not moved at all, but under the microscope, the tip of the tweezers seemed to be suffering from epilepsy, jumping from west to east, and then from east to west.
Gretel could almost imagine that every tremor left a scar on the delicate nerves that were difficult to discern with the naked eye.
What if you don’t use your hands?
Not using hands, just using mental power to move these surgical instruments to protect the tissues that need to be protected?
Gretel loosened his fingers, concentrated his energy, and manipulated the mage's hand forward. Deep, protect, pull -
Snapped!
Under the microscope, a nerve was stretched to its longest length, and then broke apart like a rubber band, revealing countless thin nerve filaments inside.
Grete closed her eyes in pain.
His level of fine manipulation of mental power is not good yet - in other words, he trusts his hands more than his mental power.
In fact, many great mages of the transformation system are the same. When drawing scroll lines or carving magic circles, they have to use their own hands to make their bodies work harder. Gretel had a conversation with the vice-president of the Alchemy Guild and had a deep understanding of this point.
Mental strength training does not happen overnight. There may be a way to exercise the physical body. At least Grete knew that as his muscle strength became stronger, his control over fine operations would improve and he would not suddenly tremble while working.
This means that many surgeons, regardless of their specific discipline, are either lifting weights after get off work or on the way to lifting weights. It won’t work if I don’t lift it. I can’t do the surgery if I don’t lift it!
He gave himself a [Barbarian Power], held the microscope tweezers, and approached the neural tissue again. This time it turned out to be much better, and the amplitude of the tremors shrank sharply, only about one-third of its original size.
Relying on such precision, Grete is confident that he can reduce surgical injuries by half, no, maybe 60%?
He concentrated on holding his breath and continued. Pull, protect, pull again, protect again, change rongeurs, bite off part of the vertebral body, guide bone growth; then process the next vertebra...
"Bang bang!"
It's over, the spell has failed, and my hands are shaking again...
By the way, how long does [The Power of the Barbarian Bull] last?
It seems... it seems... it seems... it's 1 minute/level? Grete did the math, he was now a level 8 mage, and using the power of the bull once only lasted 8 minutes. It currently takes four hours to complete an operation, and he needs to brush himself...
30 times of bull power?
Not to mention having to pay attention to when the spell will expire at all times, this method of handling it is just stupid!
Gretel bravely finished processing the vertebra, and with a wave of his hand, the dark gold skeleton came on stage. However, his control ability, transmitted through the dark gold skeleton, has to be somewhat compromised. Once such a discount is applied, it has already fallen below the threshold for delicate supernatural surgeries...
If not, let’s do some exercise!
After several failures, Grete finally made up his mind. He is already an 8th level magician and 8th level priest. After some training, he can raise his warrior level to... even to level 2. It should be quick!
That night, after finishing dinner, Cerira saw Gretel running circles, wielding swords, and lifting dumbbells, exhausting himself to the point of sweating profusely.
"...Gretel, are you going to take the path of a knight?"
Miss Yinlong stared at the side for a long time and asked curiously.
