It's not that difficult to open a hospital in another world, right?

A dozen books.

You have to see it all, or rather, memorize it all.

Master Elliot, who felt that he had returned the favor, said goodbye and left. Grete stood in front of the table, looking at the thick stack of textbooks in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He stretched out his hand and measured it: about ten books, larger than the 16-karat volume in his previous life, stretching from the solid oak tabletop to his neck. The person leaned forward, lowered his head, and placed his chin flat on the book.

Is this thickness...

Just, little things.

Which medical student's textbooks, exercise books, atlases, etc. are not stacked high enough for one person?

Grete followed Master Elliot's instructions and flipped through the pile of books. In the first book, I don’t know the characters. In the second book, I don’t know the characters. In the third book, I still don’t know the characters...

fall!

Are they all written in magic words?

Co-author In order to learn magic, I have to learn a language first, right?

And it’s still mute…

Holding a glimmer of hope, Grete flipped through the first book to the last one, and found that except for "Magical Philology", all other basic textbooks and magic principles were written in words he didn't recognize. He had no choice but to put those He piled the books back on the shelf, opened the last book, and began to fight with the magic words desperately.

There are 4,500 vocabulary words for Level 4.

I memorized it in one month that year.

There are 5,500 vocabulary words for Level 6.

I forgot how long it took to memorize it. Anyway, it seems quite easy to pass CET-6 if you try to find every opportunity to memorize it under the heavy pressure of professional courses.

Magic words…

How many words are there in this dictionary?

Grete had not counted, nor did he want to.

The only thing he could be sure of was that this book "Magical Philology" was the thickest among the nearly a hundred books on the bookshelf. Other books were at most one fist thick, but he was two fists thick.

The characters are also written in small sizes. If the characters in other books are number one, or one circle larger than the number one, the characters in this book are only size two.

The volume of this content is almost as big as that of Cihai...

Gretel whined silently. He gritted his teeth and opened the first page, and then he felt another slap on his forehead.

The arrangement of this book is very random, and it is completely arranged according to what comes to mind, or according to the importance considered by the author. At the beginning of the first page, the four elements are listed in order: fire, water, wind, and earth.

Turn another page. Magic, Dragon, Spirit, Yuan Dynasty, Mars, Venus, Sun, Saturn.

The third page. Macrocosm, microcosm, birth, death, sages, devils...

Grete:......

I want a dictionary!

I want all words in alphabetical order!

At least give me the alphabet first!

English’s 26-letter alphabet, Japanese syllabary, German’s 30-syllable alphabet, and the International Phonetic Alphabet. Please come back...I will never despise you for being too basic...

But no one responded to him.

There is no dictionary, no phonetic symbols, no one releases "language proficiency" that allows him to instantly learn magic words, and there is no intelligent brain to scan all the information and engrave unfamiliar language words into the database.

After Gretel finished crying and wiping away her tears, she could only take out the pen from her backpack, spread out the paper, and began to rely on herself and work hard——

First, count all the letters that appear...

It took about half an hour to flip through thirty or fifty pages of the book in hand, and the boss was painted on the paper. Confirming that no new letters would appear, Gretel took a deep breath and began to sort them.

Fortunately, the appearance of this magical text is somewhat similar to Latin. Grete purely looked at faces. Those who looked like A were placed first, those who looked like B were placed second. Those who did not look like English letters were placed in German letters and Roman letters in order.

What, this letter looks really special and doesn’t look like anyone else?

Always throw it to the end!

After this round of work, I discovered that the characters I wanted to learn were not too complicated. There were about sixty letters. Considering that some of them only appeared at the beginning of words, we can roughly infer that there are upper and lower cases, that is, the total number of letters. About thirty.

Gretel turned over the manuscript paper in his hand and wrote a new letter every other paragraph. Then, looking at the "Magic Letters" spread out in front of him, he became angry and rubbed his wrists...

This entire book needs to be reorganized!

It's not easy. Compiling a dictionary is really not easy... No wonder "Dictionary Publishing House" revises dictionaries once every ten years. Just revising this book can feed half of the people in the society. Really, the workload is just that big...

And now all this workload is his alone T_T

Forget it, I used to read online articles, and some seniors even used code-breaking methods to decipher the magic language themselves. Comparatively speaking, he is relatively happy because he has ready-made books to copy...

Grete went page by page, copying the words in "Magical Philology" and their corresponding common language definitions under the corresponding initial letters. Not to mention, copying is quite useful for deepening memory. At least after copying one page, Grete found that he had memorized the page he had copied.

Grete worked hard for a long time, his eyes were blurred and his wrists were sore from copying, and he suspected that he was about to suffer from tenosynovitis. When he really wanted to put a healing spell on his wrist to comfort him, Grete found that he encountered the first difficulty:

We've run out of paper.

There were five or six pieces of paper I brought, and they were densely written on both sides. Then, there was no room to write...

Tear a blank page from which book?

Grete felt that he could not do such a thing.

Looking for someone to borrow paper?

Don't dare. Master Herman said that copying is prohibited, and if he goes to ask someone to borrow it now, wouldn't he be hitting the muzzle of the gun himself?

Looking for help and interceding with Master Gehrman?

Grete felt that he had not lived enough and did not want to be blasted into black coal by the fireball...

He thought quickly for a moment, stuffed the paper, pen and ink into his backpack, put it on his back and left. I can still read the reference book tomorrow. If I don’t go back to the city, the store will be closed and there will be nowhere to buy paper~~~

He ran back to the city and rushed into his home. After closing the door, he moved to the side of the square table, moved the chair with the broken leg, moved away the bricks that supported the chair legs, and dug a few shovels underneath. There was a small money bag lying neatly in the dirt. Grete took it out and poured it out. A small pile of coins fell out with a jingle in his hand.

Two silver coins, seven copper coins.

At the other end of the long street, Uncle Simon's bakery sells black bread for a copper coin. Save it and eat it all day.

One silver coin can be exchanged for ten copper coins. This small bag of money is enough for the original person for a month.

——His salary in the city guard was five silver coins a month. If you are patrolling in the city, you can go to the military camp for a meal. After all, I can save two silver coins a month to meet other daily expenses.

But if you want to buy paper... this amount of money is probably not enough. The productivity level of this other world is not much better than that of the Middle Ages. In my impression, in this era, paper and pen are extremely expensive...

Gretel hesitated for a moment, climbed under the bed, pushed open the book box, and dug out a small box from the bottom.

Thanks to @salt and pepper taroer for the 100 starting coins

The collection has been growing very slowly recently... I will work harder and make the content more interesting...
