Chapter 185 Matthew's Retention and the Last Step of the Surgery
Chapter 185 Matthew's Retention and the Last Step of the Surgery
Arrangements for the tombstone and funeral are already underway.
And another good news finally came.
"Alkaline herbs...are complete."
He spoke in a rather weak tone, had a hesitant look in his eyes, and was holding various bottles and jars in his arms.
It was Matthew Fernando who had been conducting intensive research in the capital for a long time.
Since taking over the capital, Matthew and his friends who were engaged in herbal medicine business came to the capital together and continued their research here.
Originally, everyone, including Abes, had expected that the royal capital, the capital of a country where the king resided, would definitely have sufficient quantities of various herbs, and should also have corresponding cutting-edge equipment.
But in fact, the results were not much better.
It would be better to say that Matthew, who created a magic version of the stethoscope through his own efforts and performed diagnostic magic, was the one who was ahead of his time.
The capital of the small kingdom of Wommza is still stuck in an ancient era of medical technology.
As Abes had discovered before, when healing spells became extremely common, and everything from common headaches and fevers to horrific wounds, deadly poisons, and even abnormal deaths could be reversed by spells, medicine was doomed to fail in its development.
When small and medium-sized diseases can be solved perfectly, no one will delve into studying difficult and complicated diseases.
Just like now, an acid curse improved by old Winston has left Bingnag, a wizard who came from the three eastern countries and was knowledgeable and experienced, completely helpless.
Not only is the diagnostic level in the royal capital low, but its pharmacology is also a mess.
You know, among the princes and nobles, there is only one disease that they are ashamed to talk about to the spellcaster, and that is sex.
The man who got a job by offering medicine to the king was a minor nobleman named Burton. Didn't he start out by treating the king's "that thing"?
Therefore, Matthew was particularly disappointed after arriving in the royal capital.
He had thought he would find a wide variety of herbs in stock and a group of doctors with whom he could talk and understand.
But the result is a bunch of dealers of men's anxiety drugs and a bunch of strange drugs that are killing people.
This tragedy made Matthew want to give up at one point - that's what he told Abes.
"Since the culprit who cast the acid curse has been controlled, let him handle it. The Fernan family can no longer stay in the capital."
On the one hand, Matthew really felt that since the capital had already been taken and old Winston had been imprisoned, what was the point of him wandering around as a businessman?
On the other hand, it is because of his surname.
Fernando, a family of warriors.
Although Matthew himself has decided to sever ties with the family that has harmed his sister and himself.
However, a surname is a surname, it is on your head and cannot be changed.
Judging from the temperament of his grandfather who established strict clan rules and was obsessed with restoring the glory of his ancestors, in such a chaotic era, he would definitely raise the flag and join in.
Maybe the entire family was also forced to take up arms... I don't know if there is anyone who cares about my sister's bedside.
All in all, when his family was most likely in those plots of land in the west, and happily joined a certain warlord, Matthew felt that it would be best for him not to stay in the capital for long.
He was not yet mentally prepared to be hostile to his family.
Although he wanted to join Abes's army very much and believed that the brave man who had returned after a thousand years of death must have the ability to convince the old stubborn people in the family, and must have enough wisdom and strength to save his sister who was troubled by the backlash of the magic web.
But he hesitated at the last moment.
It is because of these two reasons that Matthew said the above words.
But the unfortunate result is...
----------
"Dismissed." The blond half-elf said this in response to the first half of Matthew's reason.
First of all, the idea that the person who tied the bell must untie it does not apply to unconventional means such as acid curses.
Does it mean that someone who administers paraquat to others must have the means to rescue that person from the effects of paraquat?
The acid curse improved by old Winston falls into this category.
“Hehe… You have to have the attitude to ask for help, but don’t be too anxious. Even if you kneel down, I can’t do anything. The acid spell I improved, even my own counter-spell is not mature enough. If it takes too long, hehehe… If it comes to me, only the Chosen One can save my life!”
"Why? Could it be that my attack that day hit Hyo Nagi, and that crazy woman finally couldn't hold on any longer and is ready to beg for mercy from me? As long as she brings that Abbas? Athos? What?'s head here, I will help her control the further penetration of the acid curse. What do you think... Hey, don't close the door, let Hyo Nagi speak in person!"
Secondly, even if Anivia just recalled the scene of communicating with old Winston, she couldn't help showing a disgusted expression.
It can be said that as long as there are other means, Anivia will never recommend the possibility of old Winston taking action to Lord Abes.
How can there be such an ordinary and confident guy?
Obviously, the seal that Master Hyonagi left on him is still intact. He should be able to feel that Ms. Hyonagi is definitely in good health.
It would be fine if he just had perceptual confusion, but he was still in a daze even after being held captive for several weeks.
He had completely forgotten what kind of person Lord Abes was, and still believed that he was just a rioter who got lucky.
I also hope that Ms. Hiinagi will deal with the leader of this "rioter".
Didn't see it!
If he had not been kept, at least he could be used as a candidate to communicate with the Mage Tower and show sincerity. Anivia would probably have wanted to put this old man, who was missing many fingers and was dirty all over, in a small room and cast a few Death Cloud spells.
The rebuttal to the second half of Matthew's reasoning came from Abbes himself.
Perhaps other people in this world think that Matthew's efforts are just a crooked approach.
But Abes is different.
He was a person who had witnessed with his own eyes how advanced medical treatment could be without magic, so Abes would never let go of this talented person in medical pharmacology easily.
With the magic of diagnosis, are some subsequent refined treatment reforms far behind?
In order to keep Matthew, Abes played cards from several directions.
He first used emotional means.
The previous incorporation of Matthew into the ranks was a brilliant move that can be echoed now.
Saving and being saved are the easiest ways to bring hearts closer together.
After several battles, big and small, all the injured were sent to Matthew and his friends.
In addition, Abes also allowed Matthew to participate in the education program, allowing him to learn some emergency treatment methods that could be used in combat, which indirectly enabled him to save many lives.
And when the distance between the saved hearts is shortened, and when there is a turning point in life without death, this sense of pride and responsibility has subtly changed them.
Here, they are no longer merchants or medicine sellers, but doctors whom people regard as friendly.
On that occasion, Matthew followed Kronos and saved Abes, who was about to die under the wall of the royal capital, which made him more integrated into this big family.
Maybe Matthew’s past experiences with home and family were not good, but here, he has a slight chance to find his family and friends.
As for what happened afterwards, it was very simple. All they had to do was spread the news that Matthew was leaving.
Then, in the classroom, his students and in the ward, his patients would, just as Abbes had expected, capture Matthew's heart with just a few words.
In addition, Abes also offered Matthew some benefits.
These benefits come from his brain.
If you give a person who can create a spell that combines a stethoscope, thermometer, and physiological examination from another world, what kind of benefits can impress him?
Of course, it is to make him realize that there will be more and better detection methods.
"I suppose you have heard of the four categories of blood, and the connection between blood and character."
After Abes invited Matthew to sit down, he did not mention that the other party was leaving, but talked about some topics as if he was chatting casually.
"It's choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic, melancholic... I've also heard of these things, and the conclusion is that they are not so appropriate." Seeing that the other party did not forcefully ask him to stay, Matthew felt much more at ease.
He followed his favorite topic and quickly opened up, "Yes, blood is definitely more than just these four categories. In my opinion, there must be more detailed things affecting blood..."
"I once used a sieve to filter out those tiny things, but I didn't get anything different in the end!! It's really confusing."
"I see..." Abes took advantage of the opportunity to add a crucial push, "Then why not make it rotate?"
What Abes popularizes, or in other words, what he gives advice on, is naturally some modern medical content.
One of the methods for blood testing is centrifugal sedimentation.
After that, Abes followed the other party's lead and quietly passed on his half-baked knowledge one by one, such as imaging examinations, endoscopic examinations, and electroencephalograms and electrocardiograms that use bioelectricity to obtain responses.
During the whole process, Abes could see that Matthew's brows were becoming more and more furrowed as he thought.
By the end, he was completely immersed in the precise measurements that Abes described.
"It can be easily rotated with magic. And to separate different things, you don't even need high-end magic - oil and water separation! Oh my God, I never thought that a daily magic used in the kitchen could give me such a big inspiration. My diagnostic spell can be improved."
"Also, this imaging is also a wonderful description. Although my diagnostic spell can judge by parameters, colors and whether the fog is thin or not, it is not intuitive after all. If it is running continuously, it is easy to make mistakes or misjudge. If you can see it directly, it will be much more convenient!"
"A spell like perspective? No, no, no, that's not it. That kind of inferior spell cannot be precisely controlled to the level you want. It usually either goes directly through a wall or is directly blocked by lead blocks."
"You are right. A portrait can only show one side. But if we draw from the side with a very small but highly perspective method, it is just like cutting a person into layers and piecing them together again. This can help us discover the lesions contained inside, the bones, joints, and the information between the flesh and blood of the organs."
"My spell may need some changes in display. Its previous design was obviously focused on color and mist."
"And if I change my thinking, maybe what I need to display is not those ethereal clouds, but the shape of the entire lesion, as vivid as a magic image!"
"Oh my god, my little bit of pharmacology is no longer useful. I feel like I need to become more of a spellcaster and understand more about spells and magic!"
……
Seeing that the other party was getting more and more excited, Abes did not disturb him, but left the room for Matthew to think on his own.
Keep thinking about it. The more you think about it, the more you will understand that these ideas that are ahead of their time will not have the opportunity to develop anywhere else.
Not only because other places have conventional healing spells, they think Matthew's semi-magical medicine is unreliable;
Moreover, it seems that at present, in the small kingdom of Wommza, or even in the rest of the North, there is no one who has the talent and knowledge to construct arcane and even divine arts like Abes.
Put it elsewhere, Matthew wants to learn about spellcasting to help him improve his diagnostic spells?
Want the "noble" wizards to teach you how to be a "barbaric" doctor?
Pooh!
It cannot be said to be a fantasy, it can only be said to be a foolish dream.
Only in Abes could Matthew truly get in touch with the core of the arcane and divine arts, and understand what magic is and why it is used.
After playing both the emotional card and the interest card, Abbess never heard Matthew express his intention to leave again.
And with a letter from the Lord of Slime City, Matthew may get a chance to go on the operating table, a chance to awaken the griffin frozen by Ms. Bingnagi and completely get rid of the acid curse for it.
As early as in Sweetleaf Town, Abes got a mithril dagger from a strange goblin under the ground of Sweetleaf Town.
Scalpel, get it!
After taking control of a quarter of the territory in the northeastern corner of the small kingdom of Wommza, the dozens of alkaline herbs and potions that Hyogi needed were finally obtained.
With such an exaggerated distribution range, it would be difficult to collect them all without a small unification.
Medicine, get!
The last item is the venom of the manticore, which is used to temporarily cut off the magic web.
This is the most important thing.
The letter from Bad Genia, the Lord of Slime City, mentioned the information about a tube of manticore venom.
The last step of the operation is complete!
