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

Chapter 254 I'm out of money, take on a new mission

"I'm so stupid, really," Gretel said to his followers, lifting his lifeless eyes. "I only know that magic weapons and armor are very expensive, but I don't know that precision instruments are more expensive than magic equipment..."

Ten thousand contribution points!
That's it!
Precision balance?

Have.

Ordinary balances, with an accuracy of 1 gram, cost 5 gold coins each.

A precision balance with an accuracy of 0.1 grams, with a knob to adjust the reading, 100 gold coins each.

The accuracy is one hundredth of a gram, and the spar displays the readings, with a frame of 1500 contribution points.

One-thousandth of a gram, sorry, no...

Centrifuge?
There is no ready-made one. After Gretel said the request, the archmage of the transformation department quickly said that he could make it.

6000 revolutions per minute?no problem.

Freezing during centrifugation?no problem.

Four magic arrays are nested, which are used to clamp, rotate, temperature and time, are powered by magic spar, and can be controlled remotely, all of which are no problem - 3000 contribution points per machine.

An oscillator with 500 contribution points, a water bath with a capacity of 2 liters, adjustable temperature, and a thermometer attached—a set of 1000 contribution points.

Pipettes are relatively expensive, mainly because each pipette must be equipped with a magic circle, and the precision requirements for the magic circle are particularly high.The archmage calculated for a long time, considering that in order to meet Gretel's requirements, only one master in the Alchemy Guild could absorb 1/20 milliliter of liquid at a time.

Considering the master's level, manual cost, scheduling, and the requirement of jumping in the queue, the Alchemy Guild offered Gretel a high price of 2000 contribution points...

Gretel silently withdrew the rhetoric of "come two dozen", endured the heartache and calculated for a long time, and only ordered one--a bonus.There is no way, some medicines require high precision, and he didn't make them himself, so he doesn't worry about using them.

As for the pH meter?Chromatograph?UV spectrophotometer?What the hell are these?

After communicating for half a day, Gretel wiped away his tears and ordered a piece of triangular glass with high transparency and high refractive index, planning to assemble a simple photometer by himself.As for the acidity meter and chromatograph, forgive him for not having used it much, let alone dismantling it, and he has no idea how to get it out.

By the way, Gretel only knows the purpose of the above instruments, but not the structure.You can't sell microscopes and shadowless lamps like selling microscopes and shadowless lamps. You can buy custom products for free and at the same time, you can turn around and get the wool of the Alchemy Guild...

Coupled with a batch of miscellaneous equipment, the 10000 contribution points that I just got were wiped out in a blink of an eye.

"Oh, I'm bankrupt..." Gretel walked out of the conference room with a drooping head.Aurora tried to comfort him: "It's already very good. If it weren't for this opportunity, if the low-level mages want to find something customized by the master, the price will be doubled at least! It depends on their mood whether to accept it or not!"

"I understand the truth." Gretel didn't feel comforted at all. "But it's really expensive!" Ten thousand contribution points!It's all over!He also took a lot of his own savings!
Aurora looked at him and shook her head helplessly.

Speaking of which, he himself is a little rich man. Since he came to Nevis from his hometown, he has never spent less than 1000 gold coins in a year—otherwise, he would not be able to save 1500 contribution points.

However, he never thought about spending [-] points a day!

In other words, is this why Gretel is the boss?
"Okay, okay, let's go and see your house." Aurora tugged him hard:

"The Horn of Thunder is actually willing to reward you with a house! Hey, do you know how hard it is to buy a house in Nevis? My father has been in the city for half a year and has entrusted countless people to buy a house! This is still the original owner's age." I want to go back to my hometown, and I finally got it free, and it cost almost 5000 gold coins!"

house.Gretel was finally a little happier.The house of the headquarters of the Magic Council is about equal to the house in the Capital District—one and a half years later, the real estate in the Capital District started!

And is it a garden villa?

Together they descended Igor Peak and walked out of the station.The carriage of Aurora's family was already waiting outside, pulled up the two magicians and the staff from the Horn of Thunder, and headed straight to the garden area.

Aurora's villa is on the edge of the villa area.The carriage passed by without stopping, and went straight to the central area according to the instructions of the staff.One row of houses, two rows of houses...

"Wow! Thunder Horn is really rich!"

Gretel let out a soft admiration.The carriage stopped, and what stood in front of them was a beautiful three-story building, one story higher than the one in Aurora's house, and a circle larger.The exterior wall is clean and white, giving people a dazzling feeling even in the night.

A high wrought iron fence surrounds the villa, enclosing a spacious garden for the house.Although it was deep winter, the plants in the garden still stood upright, without any signs of dying.

If the house in Aurora is worth 5000 gold coins, the one in front of him is worth at least [-].

Just give it to him?

The clerk who accompanied them was embarrassed for a moment.He looked at Gretel's expression and whispered:
"I didn't spend any money... Wasn't it spies a while ago? The Magic Council followed the vine and pulled up a bunch of them. This house is one of the strongholds. It was confiscated by us and became the property of the Council. Don't worry, there is no death in it." Extraordinary."

I don't mind that... Gretel shrugged.

Don't say that no one died, even if he did die, I believe that the Necromancer School must have been cleaned up, and he will never stay here to add trouble to him.

Big deal, I'll invite a few necromancers to visit the door later...

The clerk took them in.

Push open the iron gate with coiled roses and thorns, and a flat bluestone walkway leads directly to the main entrance of the villa. It feels like running a horse-drawn carriage without bumping.

The front door opened, revealing a bright light.On the high ceiling of the living room, a crystal lamp with a diameter more than twice that of the shadowless lamp hangs down.

"...The Immortal Flame." Gretel muttered to himself.

The house was not maintained, and the crystal lamp was still on like this. Obviously, it was blessed with an eternal flame. Before that, he wanted to make a shadowless lamp, which was a patchwork of things and a lot of brains.

The original owner of this room actually placed the Immortal Flame in the living room for decoration...

The living room is so luxurious, of course other places will not be worse.Gretel followed the clerks all the way to visit, and when he went up to the second floor, he saw that the corridor was covered with woolen carpets, so thick and soft that his feet would sink into his instep.The four-poster bed with tassels is enough for three people to sleep together, and the silk bedspread on the bed is actually embroidered...

"Wow, this bed is only comfortable to lie on." Aurora admired in a low voice.Continuing to go up, the chair in the study was actually covered with a whole ice bear skin cushion.Aurora endured and endured, so she didn't sit up and sway for a while, but just stretched out her hand and touched it again and again.

Two master bedrooms with bathrooms, a guest bedroom and a children's room.A sunroom, a study, and a recreation room.There is still a cellar full of wine barrels in the cellar. Although Gretel doesn't know how to drink, seeing Aurora's excitement, he knows that it is absolutely impossible to get cheap.

If the house itself is worth [-] gold coins, plus the furnishings and collections in the house, it might be doubled.

The more Aurora watched, the more excited she became. Gretel looked around from top to bottom, but the more she looked, the more silent she became.Finally, he finally asked seriously from the depths of his soul:

"So, how many people do I have to hire to maintain this house?"

"..."

"..."

The clerk pretended not to hear.

His magic level is not high, and he is still at the second level at 50 years old. Seeing that he will not be able to rise up in his life, he can only use more care in dealing with people.Gretel looked at the tenderness, the research level was so much higher than the magic level, and it was directly ordered from above to give him a house, there must be a deep meaning in it.Even if Grete was troubled by house maintenance, he said more and made more mistakes, and said less and made fewer mistakes, so it's better not to say anything.

Sure enough, he didn't say anything, and Aurora quickly picked it up:

"For my house, a manservant and coachman, a cook, and a maid to tidy the rooms are almost enough.

Your house is bigger than mine, and your garden is bigger than mine. Even if you seal up all the unused rooms, you will need at least one more manservant, one maid, and someone to take care of the garden.

By the way, if there are so many people, there must be a butler..."

"How much it will cost!—and besides, I don't know where I live. Where can I hire someone?"

Maybe the above is just wanting you to spend money.The clerk lowered his head slightly, listening to the blond magician comfort the owner of the house:
"It's okay, it's very convenient to hire people. I'll ask Uncle Peter to ask around later. He's familiar with this place, so he'll definitely be able to hire people!"

"...the White Tower provides services." The clerk finally interrupted: "The magician management area of ​​the White Tower provides various services for the wizards, including hiring servants.

If food and lodging are included, ordinary male servants are paid 5 silver coins per month, and those who have special skills, such as driving a carriage and gardening, cost about 10 silver coins, and literate personal servants pay 20 silver coins per month.

Ordinary maids, depending on their age and appearance, pay 5 to 15 silver coins per month, cooks generally pay 10 silver coins, and housekeepers are more expensive, around 25 to 30 silver coins.However, these are servants certified by the association, so you can rest assured in terms of safety—"

There was a jingle, and the sound of coins rolling out of his pocket rang in Gretel's ears.

"That is to say, I don't want personal servants. The cheapest maids and housekeepers will cost 45 silver coins a month—that's 4 and a half gold coins. Plus food and lodging for them, charcoal, maintenance and tidying up. house, at least ten gold coins a month." He murmured:
"One gold coin can make the little goblin work for an hour, and ten gold coins can make hundreds of needles! Can I sell the house—"

"Hey, it's best not to." Aurora hurriedly stopped him:
"Giving you such a house, my teacher can't make a decision. It is probably an order from a higher level. The higher-ups won't want you to sell it right away--besides, isn't it just money, just earn it! Let's go back Ask the teacher, what other tasks can you take!"

"I still have to accept the task..."

Gretel was reluctant.He hasn't had penicillin in his liver yet!The public health advisory is not over yet!Mage Tower——no, P4 laboratory, the blueprint has not been confirmed yet!
It's fine if you come to a research task, if you come to fight and kill, you don't know if you can refund it at that time!

But Aurora insisted on dragging him away.I dragged it all the way to the Archmage Carlisle, and sure enough, the Archmage was already prepared, and pushed a stack of materials:
"After the battle with the Church of the Lord of Glory, our fleet has expanded its range of activities at sea. However, the health of the crew has always been a problem, which also prevents the ship from going to sea for too long.

——The fleet under the jurisdiction of the parliament, and the Merchant Federation, have all submitted requests to the parliament.I see that you are very interested in healing. Do you want to accept this mission to improve the health of the crew? "
