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

Chapter 40 Learning magic starts with saving the alphabet

ten books.

All must be seen, or in other words, all must be recited.

Master Eliot, who felt that he had paid back his favor, said goodbye and left.Gretel stood at the desk, looked at the thick stack of textbooks in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He stretched out his hand and measured it: a dozen books, a 16-kilometer size larger than those in his previous life, stretched from the sturdy oak tabletop to his neck.The person leans forward, the head is lowered, and the chin is just flat on the writing.

Is this thickness...

Just, little things.

Which medical student's textbook, exercise set, atlas, etc., are not tall enough for one person.

Gretel flipped through the stack of books according to Master Elliott's instructions.The first book, I don't know the characters, the second book, I don't know the characters, the third book, I still don't know the characters...

fall!
Is it all written in magic words?
Co-authoring, in order to learn magic, I have to learn a language first, right?

And it's still dumb...

Greet held a glimmer of hope and turned from the first book to the last book, and found that except for "Magic Philology", all other basic textbooks and spell principles were written in words he did not know. He piled the books back on the shelf, opened the last book, and started fighting with the magic words to death.

There are 4500 four-level vocabulary lists.

Finished it in a month.

Level 5500 vocabulary list with [-] items.

I forgot how long it took to recite it back then.Anyway, under the heavy pressure of the professional class, it seems to be quite easy to pass the sixth grade.

magic text...

How many words are there in this dictionary?

Gretel didn't count, and didn't want to.

The only thing he can be sure of is that this "Magic Philology" is the thickest book among the nearly [-] books on the bookshelf. Other books are at most one fist thick, and he can have two fists thick.

The characters are also small. If the characters on the other books are the first number, or a circle larger than the first number, the characters in this book are only the size of the second.

The volume of this content is almost catching up with Cihai...

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

The book is arranged in a very random way, entirely based on where you want to write it, or, according to what the writer thinks is important.At the beginning of the first page, the four elements are listed in order: fire, water, air, and earth.

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

page three.The big universe, the small universe, the birth, the death, the sage, the devil...

Gretel:  …

I want a dictionary!

I want all words in alphabetical order!

At least give me the alphabet first ah ah ah ah!

The English 26 alphabet, the Japanese 30-syllable chart, the German [-] alphabet, and the International Phonetic Alphabet, please come back... I don't think you are too basic anymore...

Yet no one responded to him.

There was no dictionary, no phonetic symbols, no one released "Language Proficiency" to let him know magical words in seconds, and no brain scans all the information and engraved unfamiliar languages ​​and words into the database.

Grete finished crying and wiping tears in his heart, and he could only pull out a pen from his rucksack, spread out the paper, and began to be self-reliant and work hard——

The first is to count all the letters that appear...

It took about half an hour to turn through thirty or fifty pages of the book at hand, and the boss was painted on the paper.Making sure there were no new letters, Grete took a deep breath and started sorting them.

Fortunately, this magical script looks a bit like Latin.Gretel simply looked at the face. Those that looked like a were placed first, those that looked like b were placed second, and those that didn't look like English alphabets were placed in the German alphabet and Roman alphabet in that order.

What, this letter looks really special, no one looks like it?
Always throw it to the end!

At the end of this round of work, I found that the characters I want to learn are not too complicated. There are about [-] letters. Considering that some of them only appear at the beginning of the word, it can be roughly inferred that there are uppercase and lowercase letters, that is, the total number of letters. about thirty.

Gretel turned over the manuscript paper in his hand, writing a new letter every other paragraph.Then, looking at the "Magic Philology" spread out in front of him, he sighed in his dantian and rubbed his wrist...

This whole book needs to be rewritten!

It's not easy. It's really not easy to compile a dictionary... No wonder "Dictionary Publishing House" revises the sea of ​​words once every ten years. Just revising this book can support half of the people in the society.In fact, the workload is so large...

And now these workloads are all his own T_T
Forget it, I used to read online articles, and some seniors had to use the method of deciphering passwords to decipher the magic language by themselves.Comparatively speaking, he has a ready-made book to copy, and he is quite happy...

Greet, page by page, paraphrased the words in "Magic Philology" and the corresponding common language, and copied them under the corresponding initials.Not to mention, copying is quite useful for deepening memory. At least after copying a page, Gretel found that the page he copied had already been memorized.

Gretel worked hard for a long time, his eyes were dazzled, his wrists were sore, and he suspected that he was about to commit tenosynovitis.When he wanted to put a healing technique on his wrist to comfort him, Gretel found that he encountered the first difficulty:
Out of paper.

There are five or six sheets of paper in total, and the front and back sides are all densely written, and then, there is no place to write...

Tear a blank from which book?

Gretel didn't think he could do such a thing.

Looking for someone to borrow paper?

dare not.Master Gehrman said that copying is prohibited, and now he is looking for someone to borrow it. Isn't that just hitting the gun himself!
Looking for someone to help, intercede with Mage Gehrman?
Gretel 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 pen and ink into his backpack, carried it on his back, and left.The reference book can still be read tomorrow. If I don’t go back to the city, the store is closed and there is nowhere to buy paper~~~
He flew back to the city and rushed into his house.After closing the door, he turned to the side of the square table, moved the chair with the broken leg, removed the bricks supporting the legs of the chair, and dug a few shovels underneath.There was a small purse lying upright in the soil, and Grete took it out and poured it out, and a small pile of coins fell from his palms.

Two silver coins, seven copper coins.

On the other side of the long street, Uncle Simon's bakery, brown bread is a copper coin.Save and eat, you can eat for a day.

One silver coin can be exchanged for ten copper coins, and this small bag of money is the original cost for one month.

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

But to buy paper... that 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, pen and paper are expensive...

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

　Thanks to @Pepper Salt Taro er for the reward of 100 starting coins

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