Krafft's Notes on Anomalies

To the respected Grand Master of the Order of the Holy Hospitaller, a merciful and pious man, the future Baron Wood, an honorary knight, a professor of the medical school of Rivers University and the University of Dunling, a pioneer in pulmonary, cardiology and anesthesia surgery, the chairman of the Tuberculosis and Rare Diseases Medical Association, an outstanding physician, and a close ally of the Higo family, my friend:

Dearest friend, I am glad to see you. At this time, your team should have walked beyond the glory of the Notre Dame Cathedral. May God bless you and your family and bring wisdom and insight to the land He personally sealed.

If the delivery team has a smooth journey, you will see all the goods ordered before departure, including 35 customized metal and leather tool sets and their variants, more than 20 fine silver needles, and five boxes of customized white glass containers.

Due to the large number and the possibility of unavoidable losses, please check the types and data in person according to the specific list as much as possible to ensure that they are correct.

If there is unavoidable transportation damage or model size error, please indicate in the reply letter, and it will be supplemented and delivered as soon as two months later.

As for our joint business of medicine and medical devices, the revenue is considerable thanks to the introduction of new treatments and equipment. A small part of the quarterly share has been converted into Westmin gold coins as required, and the rest is brought in the form of silver coins. The details are attached to the letter.

About a quarter of the revenue comes from the sales of "Heart-Strengthening Mixture" in Dr. David's clinic, as well as the regular use of guidance and consulting services. The number of recorded medication cases is growing continuously.

It must be said that Dr. David's talent in business and management has attracted attention, and his help to us is even no less than that of Lecturer Willen. Your decision to make an exception and recruit him as a member of the society is very far-sighted.

At present, many people are trying to copy the medicine, but I don't think their blind groping can pose a threat within the six-month confidentiality period you set.

In fact, Financial Officer Barber believes that if the formula is delayed in being made public, it can be developed into an industry that brings continuous profits for several years. I also suggest that it should be made public when small-scale, less reliable copycats appear in the outside world, in order to achieve a proper balance between economic and reputational benefits.

Of course, whether and when to make the formula public is entirely up to you, and the Xiguo family will never violate the sacred contract.

In contrast, "ether", as a drug that requires more professional skills, is more likely to provide a broad and stable source of income in the future.

Although you have disclosed the full preparation process, private surgical clinics do not have the ability and courage to prepare such a dangerous drug independently. They may have had the latter, but soon stopped trying after several serious burns.

With the personal guidance of the inventor, the Xiguo family's advantage in this regard will remain for several years until the first batch of doctors who learn relevant skills in medical schools obtain degrees and licenses.

Perhaps most of them will still choose to continue buying instead of burying huge fire hazards in their own clinics.

At that time, just keep the price at a level slightly lower than the cost of making it yourself, and this business will never end.

But for now, there are buyers who can't wait to pay several times the premium just to use this drug as soon as possible, and there is also a matching nebulizer inhalation device. After all, who wants to watch the doctor remove his leg soberly?

The church also considered anesthesia a "relatively merciful" form of treatment, and the Knights Hospitaller were undoubtedly inspired by God.

We are in a special period brought about by breakthroughs in surgical technology. This is a field that has never been explored before, and the opportunities are far beyond the imagination of those old misers who cling to their ancestral property.

Speaking of the church, I heard that the bishops were rare and generous and promised the entire monastery and surrounding land as a reward.

The location and weather there are similar to Westminster, and it is even called "the place north of Westminster". The mountains and forests are rich in products, and it is a great place for those who like to get prey with their own hands.

When you came, you may have noticed that to get to Westminster and Dunling in the north of the kingdom, you need to go around the coastline to the south, and then go around the Teme River to go deep into the interior. No one recommends taking the land route.

This is of course because the mountains in the middle are not suitable for any large team to pass.

It must be emphasized that it is "mountains", not the small dirt slopes you see in Port Wenden or the South Downs. The difference between them is probably as big as the difference between the sewers of Dunling and other cities.

Unfortunately, according to the description of the family supplier, the road conditions there have not been any substantial improvements in decades.

The settlements are separated by terrain into small, unrelated, flat valleys and basins. They are self-sufficient, closed and stagnant, and it is difficult for neighboring villages to communicate for months.

At least 80% of the local lords are not very clear about how many taxable populations are hidden in the corners of the map; the remaining 20% ​​are completely unclear and have no interest in finding out. The cost of sending tax collectors may even cover the benefits.

Fortunately, even such places have not been ignored by the glory of the Father.

Decades ago, missionaries had already penetrated into the end of this complex region, connecting small settlements in the form of churches and becoming a practical part of the kingdom.

In some places, the influence of the church is far greater than that of the theoretical ruler.

The monastery you are about to visit is also one of the achievements of that year. The monks completed this miracle among the mountains with hard work, wisdom, faith, and a little insignificant economic support from the church headquarters.

If you have some knowledge of engineering, you will find that its scale is extraordinary. It should have become an important hub of the church's faith and undertaken a large area of ​​church affairs - this was indeed the case for more than ten years after it was built.

However, this important building has been abandoned for more than twenty years and is sealed and entrusted by the lord. That's right, there are not even monks left to complete daily maintenance, but it is completely sealed and entrusted.

Although the local Priyel family has always had close relations with the church, and even the brother of the current Baron Priyel serves in the church, they are obviously not as famous as you, and it seems inappropriate to be entrusted with the management of a large monastery.

I undoubtedly believe that you are capable of solving any problems, and I have no intention of speculating on the intentions of the Holy See. I just suggest that you get closer to the Priyel family before taking over the property. As locals, their opinions are definitely worth listening to.

Finally, please give my sincere greetings to your family, all members of the society, and your disciples.

May the grace of God always protect you and the Knights. Whether in your personal affairs or in our common cause, the Higo family is always happy to help. I hope we can continue to keep in close contact in the days to come.

Your loyal friend:

Frances Higo

…

…

"I knew it." Kraft stuffed the parchment back into the envelope, aligned it with the blue-green coat of arms on the seal, and whispered, "There is no such good thing in the world."

It's really hard for Frances to prepare the goods in such a tight time, take a shortcut to catch up with the caravan, and send fresh gossip.

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly. These days, the territories with some value have long been sealed. Most of the new nobles since the generation of old Wood have to go to the northern border to deal with brown bears. There is no good place with complete infrastructure waiting for the Knights to move in.

It's nothing more than the size of the problem. Since there is no big news and people can live around it, it means that the problem is not particularly big.

Even if there are some unconventional problems, the worst that can happen is...

"Captain." A rough voice interrupted the thought and pulled the professor back to the busy camp. "The goods have been counted and there are basically no problems. Several glassware were damaged during transportation, but there are spares of the same specifications."

"As for the quality of the metal equipment, I can only see that the material and workmanship are good. You need to personally inspect it."

"Thank you, Brother Raymond. I said, there is no need to call me this position. Under the gaze of the Heavenly Father, everyone is equal, except for different job functions." Kraft took the list marked with charcoal pencils, quickly glanced at it, and put it away.

The first impression of this experienced monk is his distinctive voice and the same rough and hard appearance.

He has a short beard that is relatively rare in the church, but it is trimmed quite neatly, even during the tiring journey, which is very consistent with Kraft's impression of him during this period.

He is strict and law-abiding. To be honest, it is hard to understand why such a person would leave Dunling with the Knights.

"But you are indeed the leader." The expected answer.

"Maybe we can change to a less distant name." Kraft didn't like his new name, especially when he stood in front of the carriage parked on the side of the road, which made him feel very strange.

"Mentor?" This is also reasonable. In theory, the leader does have the responsibility of guiding.

A girl who had just hammered the tent stake into the ground stopped her chores and looked over here. Her achievements have been lined up from one end of the camp to the other.

"Professor Kraft." Raymond suddenly understood the correct way to address.

"It's better to get used to it. As companions who have faced those things together, we can call each other by name." Kraft smiled.

The smile was kind and hazy, and the steep mountain forest line behind him sank into the dusk. The bright side was plated with bright orange-red as if it was burning dazzlingly, and the dark side was obscure and unclear, unable to form a clear image, but it had persuasiveness beyond words or expressions.

The jagged night sky stripped the warm light from every ridge and every cliff, revealing a subtle sense of oppression hidden during the day.

Raymond nodded, before he realized that he had agreed.

"Do me another favor, ask the head of the Xiguo family's convoy to meet me before leaving tomorrow morning. There is a letter that they need to take back to Dunling on their return journey."

"Okay, do you need me to help you list the missing items separately?"

"No, you go and take a break from your shift with Kupu first. Those things are not worth another special trip. The letter is for our old friend Green."

"Do you have anything to consult the priest?"

"Indeed, I have to trouble him to help check some old information again. I hope his skills in flipping through the library's piles of documents have not degenerated."

Happy National Day to all book friends! Here is an update from the front line of the motherland's medical and health care industry.

In addition: Good news, the group member's "Multiverse Survival Guide" was signed recently, which shows that I have a good eye (confident).
