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

Chapter 154 Gretel: I don't want to dress up as a bird!
With the support of pure oxygen (?), the tug-of-war between healing and disease finally broke the balance of power.Elder Wood maintained the pure oxygen (?) bubble technique, and the level 5 priest next to him continued to chant several healing techniques, successfully suppressing the patient's symptoms.

End the treatment and send the patient away.Elder Wood looked at Gretel, and the temperature had risen by 60 degrees Celsius.

If it was still warm water at about 40 degrees Celsius, which was just right for drinking, like "Oh, my old friend, I came from a long way away", then after Gretel showed his hand, it rose to 100 degrees Celsius in an instant, gurgling, and seeing it Can start bubbling.

That is, Elder Wood is good-natured.The kind little old man was staring at the glass tube in his hand, his eyes were eager to fly his hands, and he could take a good look at the gas in the glass tube with his fingertips.However, after staring at it for several times, he still looked away, and handed the glass tube back directly:

"Thank you! Well, you are Gretel Nordmark, Erwin's disciple?"

Gretel hastened to hand over the letter.Elder Wood looked carefully at it page by page, surprised and smiling:
"Being a priest and a magician at the same time? Did you delay the training of the Magic Council to curb the plague? And then went to the battlefield? - Not bad, not bad, Erwin took in a good apprentice." He looked at Gretel with more cordial eyes :

"Your teacher is my good friend for many years, and he asked me to continue teaching you magic arts. From now on, you will be with me, just like being by your teacher's side. If you don't understand anything, just ask, if there is anything missing, if you need help , just open your mouth."

"I have something to ask the elders for help." Grete couldn't wait for this sentence, and immediately hit the snake with the stick:
"I was in the academy today, and the teacher assigned a research project..."

He told the story of what happened today.Elder Wood listened with a smile at first, but halfway through, his face became serious.After Gretel finished talking about his guesses and worries, he frowned and glanced at the door, and the kind smile disappeared on his chubby round face:

"What you said is indeed reasonable. In the past few days, I have also treated several patients who went into the mountains to catch bats. So, I will write a letter now to remind my acquaintances in the parliament."

"It's best if the elder is willing to write." Gretel breathed a sigh of relief:
"However, I think it is still necessary to prove that these diseases are related to bats, or at least prove that there is a great possibility of getting sick when you are with bats. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to convince those magicians. They will think that adventurers get sick for other reasons."

"emmmmmmm..." Elder Wood pondered.As he thought, he unconsciously coiled his beard.The black and white beard was curled on the index finger, and the locks became tighter and tighter.Seeing that, Grete was terrified, afraid that the beard would be pulled off directly.

Fortunately, Elder Wood was also familiar with this movement. He circled seven or eight times clockwise. Seeing that the roots of the beard stretched to the limit, he began to circle counterclockwise again.After going back and forth for three or five rounds, he finally raised his head and asked Gretel directly:
"do you have any plans?"

"There are some plans, but I can't do it alone, and I need help." Gretel already had a plan before he set off, and he refined and expanded it several times along the way.At this time, we can talk freely without stumbling.While talking, he secretly sighed, if he had such eloquence when he applied for the project, he might have taken the road of research:

"My plan is divided into two parts. One is to study the current patients, and ask the elders to contact the nearby healers to check the patient's condition. Among the people who have been in close contact with bats recently, if they can find a group of patients with similar conditions, It can be preliminarily determined that bats can cause disease.

——In particular, if similar cases occur in the adventurers who go into the mountains to catch bats, the shopkeepers and shop assistants who sell bats, and the magicians who study bats, the evidence will be even more obvious. "

Elder Wood nodded slightly.He let go of the ravaged beard and blew on his fingers—and sure enough, he blew off a white beard.The old man looked at his fingertips regretfully, then raised his head again with a calm and reliable expression:

"That makes sense. If you don't know the local healer, I'll contact you. ——What about the second part?"

"Do an experiment." Gretel finally talked about the main point of this call for help:

"My plan is to find some live bats, all kinds of bats, and keep them together with healthy animals to see if those animals will get sick. Choose more kinds of animals, such as rabbits, sheep, horses, pigs, and monkeys It's the best.

And, since we don’t know how bats use to make people sick, it is recommended to find some animals and let them come into contact with bat saliva, urine, feces, or be bitten by blood-sucking bats..."

Gretel spoke in one breath for several minutes.Under Elder Wood's increasingly surprised eyes, he smiled shyly, and finally finished his speech:

"The bats on the market have risen to five gold coins now... I can't afford them, and I don't have a place to raise them. I can't afford to buy so many animals, and I don't have people to take care of them, so..."

Spreading his hands, he looked at Elder Wood with earnest and pleading eyes, and the meaning was very clear:
It's up to you.

Elder Wood coiled his beard again.He walked from east to west, then from west to east, measured the width of the room twice, and suddenly turned around:
"The diseases that those adventurers get may have nothing to do with bats."

"Yes. I know." Gretel answered frankly.Elder Wood nodded:

"If you want to catch so many animals and get so many bats out for research, there may be no results in the end."

"It's very likely." Gretel agreed with him.There is a high probability that no results will be obtained. The God of Nature has limited financial resources, and the experimental animals used are likely to be wrong, or the disease is directly transmitted to humans by bats, without any animals as intermediate hosts.

Or, it was just unlucky, did not hit the probability of infection, or did not observe signs of animal illness——

Gretel's eyes were too clear and peaceful.Elder Wood couldn't help but look at him more, and then asked the third question:
"It's possible that after those magicians finish tossing the bats, no one will get sick in the end."

"That's the best situation." Gretel said without hesitation.I hope that people in the world will be free of diseases, and I would rather put medicine on the shelves to make dust. If no one gets sick because of bats in the end, he will be happy even if he is ridiculed for nothing.

Elder Wood gave him another deep look.Then the little old man changed the oak stick to his left hand, stretched out his right palm, and slapped him hard:
"You're fine. A real healer. Now, I'll take care of the bats, the other animals, the people who take care of you. You settle down here—oh, no, you're going to the Council of Magic classes—"

Then go back and rent a house, leave enough space, counting as [-] animals.Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, up to three days, manpower and things will arrive! "

"Thank you so much, Elder!" Gretel was really grateful.Elder Wood waved his hand casually: "What's the matter! It's not that the religious order can't afford the money. Besides, if something is done, the money can be taken back from the Magic Council!"

"Ah?!" Gretel, who just succeeded in white wolf with empty hands, was stunned, resigned to defeat.

"Okay, you just wait for someone to collect things—what else do you need?"

"It's like this. I still need some way to isolate people from bats. Since I know they are dangerous, I can't catch them myself. It's best not to bite or spit. A sneeze or something, I won't inhale it..."

Gretel replied nervously.In fact, he really wants to build a P4 laboratory, at least a monkey version, such as a negative pressure airtight chamber with an interlocking airlock, add an air pump, add a filter, and then mix the gas in the red zone with the fuel gas burn it.If you don’t have gas, you can consider hard burning, such as Gretel’s modified burning hand...

But a rented house certainly cannot be tossed about like this. If you buy a new house, let alone whether you have enough financial resources, renovation is a big project.Forget it, ask if there is an isolation suit.

"You are thoughtful." Elder Wood approved.He frowned and thought for a while: "There is really something you said. Wait a minute, I'll get it..."

He turned and went inside.After a while, he brought over a pile of dusty clothes and handed them to Gretel: "Try it, does it fit?"

Gretel looked at the same thing.A thick black hat with a wide brim that almost covers the eyes.

Thick cloth gloves, it feels like once you put them on, you can't do anything.

Flat glass glasses, the quality of the glass is questionable, it seems to have bubbles and cracks.

A heavy black overcoat, rough in texture, suspected of canvas, with a slightly reflective surface-it looks like it has been coated with wax.

Gretel had a bad premonition.But when the coat was uncovered, the essence of the suit was presented in front of his eyes, which confirmed his conjecture:
A bird beak mask.

The long beak made of silver has not been used for many years and has oxidized to black.Gretel's thumb and index finger spread as far as they could, but they were both a bit shorter than the thing.There are several straps attached to the edge, which seem to be used to fix it on the head.

Gretel picked it up and looked inside. The inside of the mask was filled with something, completely decayed into residue, and it was impossible to see what it was.

If the knowledge of his previous life is valid, there may be herbs such as mint leaves and rose petals in it, and if he is lucky, there will be some spices, such as cloves, camphor, styrax, and ambergris...

You might as well give me activated charcoal!Although activated charcoal is cheap and tasteless, it is more reliable than these spices!
Gretel wanted to cry but had no tears.Elder Wood on the side was still saying: "This is used to deal with the most ferocious plague. I didn't think it would be - if you think it is necessary, you can try it?"

I……

I want latex gloves!
I want protective clothing!

I want N95 masks!Face screen!Goggles!
I'm sorry, I don't dislike the protective clothing issued by the hospital anymore, it's too stuffy to wear, and every time I take it off, it's a bag of water...

Gretel burst into tears.
