Sorcerer’s Handbook

Chapter 20: Crow Medic

Views:

"Ash Hiss, leave on your own when you wake up, otherwise it will be past dinner time. We don't serve meals for patients here."

Ash, whose eyelids had long been burning from the incandescent light, sat up swiftly and touched his face and abdomen. He found no swelling or pain at all, as if the beating by Igula just now was just a dream.

It was not the first time that he had seen the healing techniques of this world, but every time he was amazed - the wound that was pierced by the sword of the Blood Crazy Hunter would have required him to stay in the intensive care unit for more than ten days in his previous life, but here he was healed before he was interrogated.

It made Ash think that they wanted to heal him first and then give him a full set of interrogation health care.

He looked around. It was different from the treatment room he had imagined. There was no smell of disinfectant here. Although the environment was clean without any debris or blood, the colors were mainly gray, black and brown, giving the visual a 'dirty and chaotic' impression.

Not to mention the medical technicians here: they were wearing black robes covering their entire bodies, a terrifying crow mask, and holding shiny daggers in their hands.

Not only does he not look like a doctor, but he looks more like a cultist who is using Ash as a sacrifice.

The person who was talking to Ash was a shorter medical technician. It was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman from his voice. The mask seemed to distort his voice, making it sound even more frightening.

She noticed that Yaxiu was looking at her and asked, "What's the problem?"

Ash said smoothly, "I think there's something wrong with my face."

"Hmm? I have cured all your injuries." The medical technician was a little puzzled: "Could it be that the blood vessels inside were broken?"

"I feel like I'm not as handsome as before. Didn't you get the treatment? By the way, do you provide plastic surgery services here?"

Originally, Ash was just chatting with him to establish a good relationship so that he could have some fruit when he came here for treatment in the future. But unexpectedly, the crow healer became excited and approached him and said, "Of course! I can do all kinds of procedures, such as eye opening, nose bridge adjustment, bone shaving, and chin filling. You can make yourself look whatever you want, even if you want to be a different race! I highly recommend this Carol Lauder procedure, which can effectively expand your eyes..."

Ash pushed the healer away with a look of disgust: "Your bad mouth is poking me!"

"Oh, sorry, if you want to have your lips reshaped, I have a new White Rabbit Candy procedure that can give your lips a natural sweetness..."

Seeing the doctor's enthusiastic attitude of selling insurance, Ash was a little scared: "I don't have any money!"

"I don't want your money, I just want you!"

Ash's body trembled: "So soon? We haven't known each other for long? Wait, are you a man or a woman? Wait, what's your race..."

The doctor also realized his mistake and waved his hand and said, "What I mean is that as long as you are willing to let me do the surgery, it's enough. You don't have to pay me. It's completely free!"

"Well..." Ash asked, "What if I want you to give me money?"

"Um...how much do you want?"

Seeing the medical technician actually taking out her wallet, Ash hurriedly stopped her: "Stop, I'm just asking casually, I don't really want to operate on my face. But are all you medical technicians so kind that you don't ask for anything in return for your surgery? Seeing you dressed like this, I thought you were the type who would suddenly raise the price during the operation."

Medical practitioner: "Ah, isn't this normal?"

"ah?"

For a moment, Ash couldn't tell whether what she meant by 'free' or 'price increase during surgery'.

"So you really don't plan to do medical beauty?" The medical practitioner urged, "I am a silver medical practitioner with three magic spirits. You won't find a free and capable medical practitioner like me anywhere else! You're lucky to meet one!"

"What if you are suddenly charged halfway through the operation?"

"Do you have money?"

"No."

"Then what are you worried about!?"

It seems to make sense. As long as I have no money, you can't cheat me out of it... Yaxiu still shook his head: "There is a saying in my industry: free is the most expensive. If I take advantage of your freebie, I will definitely pay the price somewhere else."

Seeing that Ash was not taking the bait, the medical technician had no choice but to say honestly: "Well, if you are willing to let me perform the surgery on you, there will be a little risk."

"A little bit?"

"Well, a little bit." The medical practitioner gestured with his fingers: "After all, I am not very proficient in this area of surgery, so I need to do more surgeries to increase my proficiency, but I have three magic spirits, which are enough to ensure that your life is not in danger..."

After the medical practitioner's explanation, Ash finally understood why they were willing to let patients use their services for free: because the medical results of silver medical practitioners were not guaranteed.

Unlike the empirical medicine of the previous life, the medicine of this world was developed from magic, and the magic most commonly used by medical practitioners is the "hydrotherapy" of the water magic faction.

As long as there is moisture in the patient's body, this magic spirit can be activated to make the patient's wounds regenerate quickly.

The most common method of treatment is to bleed and scrape the flesh, then activate magic to allow the body to regenerate quickly.

As you can imagine, this treatment method has many flaws, but all magic spirits have the characteristics of evolution, and this is more obvious in the "hydrotherapy" magic spirit: any disease that has been treated with the "hydrotherapy" magic spirit will be remembered and optimized by the "hydrotherapy", so that the next time the same disease is encountered, it can be treated more efficiently.

Not only that, as long as the healer has treated enough diseases, he can even evolve the 'hydrotherapy' spirit into a two-winged spirit!

Therefore, silver medical practitioners are eager to treat patients but are unable to do so, while patients would rather spend more money to find better gold medical practitioners than silver ones - the weaker the medical practitioner, the worse the "hydrotherapy" effect will be, and the greater the probability that the patient will have problems.

Broken Lake Prison is a very popular place in the eyes of medical technicians. Every day, prisoners who are beaten to death receive treatment. They enjoy gaining experience here, and the doctor-patient relationship is very stable. There will be no trouble even if the patient is cured to death!

For example, the medical technician who was talking to Ash would have no chance to come here to gain experience if it weren’t for his background!

Ash thought to himself, wow, it turns out the Death Fighting Society is not only trying to incite the prisoners to fight among themselves, but they are also using the prisoners as a renewable resource to provide experience to medical staff. This prison is so good at doing business, it has made the prison lose everything.

However, the treatment is free and does not consume the contribution points of the death row prisoners. From this point of view, the prison is still small in scale and is still a little worse than Ash's company. The company not only sold sudden death insurance to Ash, but also directly deducted the electricity bill consumed by Ash's malicious overtime work from his salary, which directly aborted Ash's plan to get rich by working overtime to mine and speculate in cryptocurrencies.
