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

Chapter 843 Celera: I'll Take You Fly! (Burst update 25)

Steal bread?
Gretel lowered his gaze and said nothing.If stealing is a sin, then stealing food is perhaps the lightest of the sins——

If a person is about to starve to death without stealing food, it is obviously not him who commits a crime, but the society that forces him to commit a crime.

Jean Valjean, who stole a loaf, was sentenced to five years of hard labor.

Gretel has always remembered how deeply compassionate Hugo, the literary master in his previous life, described this person, and what kind of sympathy all subsequent film and television, opera and literary analysis have placed on him.

But Gretel remembered that he had given everyone in the hospital, every spellcaster, security guard, and nurse, enough food.So Gretel cast his eyes on little Jenny, and little Jenny took a step forward, staring at the woman named Maria:

"Get the bread out of your clothes."

"This……"

"take it out!"

Gretel silently took two steps back, turning his back to the crowd.There was a sound of body collisions, and then, Little Jenny's respectful voice sounded:

"Okay, sir."

Gretel turned around.The woman was flushed, holding a hard piece of bread in both hands, standing there awkwardly.The bread is not big, only about the size of two hands, with a small cut discreetly bitten on it.

Presumably, she used this action to show that she "had already eaten", so she put the bread in her clothes and waited to take it home for the children to eat?

"Jenny, how is the feeding situation in my hospital?"

Gretel asked softly.Little Jenny bowed slightly:

"As you order, there will be enough for all. Each nurse, each meal will have a piece of bread, a bowl of oatmeal, a glass of milk, and a large bowl of boiled vegetables. In addition, there will be an egg at each meal, Or a fish, or a piece of meat the size of a man's hand."

As she spoke, the washerwomen around her nodded.Lower your voice and agree in a low voice:

"Yes, yes! Miss Jenny is right, no one dares to cheat us!"

"People who do rough work like us, who can eat so much food! It would be great if you are full of oatmeal!"

"There's also milk! There's also meat! If you're still not full, you can add more oatmeal as you like!"

"To be honest, I'm trying to eat as much as I can in the hospital now, and I won't eat when I get home. The rations are saved for the children... Where can I find such a kind owner!"

Kindness... Gretel didn't dare to say it, he just touched his conscience and tried to feed the employees as much as possible.The spellcaster has the standards of a spellcaster, he never tires of fine food, and he never tires of fine food. Every meal needs to have white bread and delicate dishes;
Warriors have the standards of warriors, they can eat black bread, but they must be full and have enough meat.Only with adequate nutrition can they support their strong exercise volume;

And the nurses... As ordinary people, all Gretel can do for them is to provide them with meals on time and in sufficient quantities.According to the daily dietary standards of residents, the three major items of staple food, vegetables, and meat should be properly matched as much as possible, so as not to let them go hungry.

As for stealing food?

Gretel closed his eyes slightly and activated the teleportation technique.In a blink of an eye, he has been teleported from the square surrounded by people to the center of the mage tower.He tapped on the tower spirit panel with his fingers and issued an order:
"MOSS, call up the monitoring results of the canteen by the invisible servants. Show me yesterday, three days ago, five days ago, ten days ago."

"Okay, boss."

Ta Ling - MOSS No. [-] - responded with a light curtain.Although Gretel doesn't care much about these chores, he knows to install surveillance and let Ta Ling control the invisible servants to patrol from time to time.

Halls, enclosures, maternity buildings, pharmacy rooms, ward corridors, laundry rooms, sewage treatment rooms...everything you can think of, where there may be mistakes, is often visited by invisible servants.With an order at this time, the data was immediately called out.

Gretel took a closer look and found that, as the nurses said, there was enough food for everyone to be full.Looking at the import and export of bulk goods, there is no situation where the person in charge of the canteen management privately transports rice, noodles and meat.

He then teleported to the kitchen. In the back kitchen, the oven was steaming, and vegetables and meat were piled up on the chopping board.Gretel walked around quickly, and saw a row of more than a dozen cauldrons, gurgling and tumbling inside:
Oatmeal, mush with lots of potatoes and corn, vegetable broth…

Whether the stored grains are good, the vegetables on the chopping board, eggs, meat or fish, they all look fresh and there is no mold or rot.From this point of view, at least the canteen managers didn't make much money.

Too.Gretel laughed at himself: This is not the world of his previous life, and he still has to work hard to collect evidence and deal with it according to law.

Here, if he suspects that an ordinary person is corrupt, he can directly interrogate him with spells, such as [Charm Human], and throw it up casually.When the question came out, he was tied to the city hall and let him die if he wanted to.

And if it's not an ordinary person—a spell caster working in a hospital, which one doesn't know how to follow him well is the best ladder for promotion?

But there are no disadvantages everywhere, which means that the situation outside is really serious now.Gretel walked out of the cafeteria slowly and returned to the quarreling nurses.Looking around, all the women lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

"What are you still doing here?" Gretel said slowly:

"Is there no work in the hospital? Have all the sheets been washed? Have the pillowcases been removed and washed? Have the walls of the room, the bed frame, and the small table been wiped with disinfectant? All the patients have been seen, and there is no other need." ?"

"We'll go right away!"

Nurses and washerwomen ran away.Only little Jenny stood still, and the washerwoman who had stolen the bread stood trembling in front of Gretel.Seeing the crowd disperse, she fell to her knees with a plop, begging bitterly:
"Don't drive me away, sir, don't drive me away! I don't dare anymore! You can deduct wages, fine me for other things, please don't drive me away! Drive me out now, I really want to live I can't go down—"

She fell to the ground, crying.With his hands behind his back, Gretel looked down at her quietly for a long time, then sighed:
"What is your monthly salary, Maria?"

"Five silver coins, sir." Maria shrank timidly.Five silver coins, working 10 hours a day, including lunch and dinner.

For a washerwoman who knows nothing and has only a handful of strength, it is quite good to find such a job, to have enough food, and not to be bullied.

"Five silver coins." Gretel sighed:

"I remember that flour is like a copper coin a pound, and bread..."

"It's no longer available, sir!" Maria raised her head abruptly:

"The cheapest rye flour, mixed with a lot of bran, costs three copper coins and two pounds! Bread, the bread you supply, sir, is the size of two hands, and it costs three copper coins to buy one !"

Gretel gasped.One copper coin for one pound has risen to three copper coins for two pounds. It seems that the amount is not much, but the price has increased by 50%.How can the lowest urban poor afford a 50% price increase? !

"And this is still in Nevis. The archmages have pity on us and have been holding down the price of food." Maria fell on the ground and continued to cry:

"My husband's younger sister's family, in their city, the price of a pound of flour has increased five times! Five times! They have survived for two months, and they can't continue..."

Speaking of this, tears fell in strings, and the voice choked:
"Two couples, three children, and their families came to join us. They couldn't find a job. My husband was kind and couldn't bear to drive them away... The children have been hungry for two days... The adults can bear it." , the child can't hold it..."

Gretel let out a long sigh.He looked around and saw that no one was watching, so he raised his hand, and the hands of two mages crossed and flew out, lifting the woman from the ground:

"Anyway, it's always wrong for you to take food from the hospital, ma'am."

"Yes, yes, I am guilty." Maria kept bowing in panic.Gretel had to add another Hand of Mage, and then turned to look at Little Jenny:

"There must be rules in doing things. You can only eat, not take it, this is the rule. But," he closed his eyes slightly:

"If you just take your own share out, just, just pretend you didn't see it..."

"Yes, sir." Little Jenny bowed slightly with a look of displeasure.She paused, hesitated to speak, and finally mumbled:

"But sir, if they don't have enough to eat—"

"Bread can be brought. Eggs, fish and meat must be eaten on the spot, and someone will supervise. Besides," Gretel said with a sullen face, trying to make his tone serious:
"If you do something wrong in the hospital, no matter whether it's because you eat too little, you're hungry, or you don't have enough energy, you can get out immediately. In the current situation, I want to hire as many people as I want, and let them figure it out for themselves."

"By the way, make the bread half bigger."

Little Jenny bowed her knees and bowed, and quickly left, taking the peasant woman away by the way.Gretel stood where he was, closed his eyes, and after a long time, he sighed slowly——

He built a hospital, stocked up enough food, gave good treatment to the security guards and medical staff, and tried his best to support a warm and peaceful world without wind or rain.But now, the wind and rain from the outside world is still pouring in.

death, the people suffer.Xing, the people suffer.Man-made disasters and natural disasters, the people suffer the most.

However, the people around here have already started fleeing famine... It's only June?Hasn't the parliament already prepared in advance, stored food, and stabilized food prices?

I can't hold it anymore in June, and when the autumn harvest, winter, and next year's spring famine come, I can't sell my sons and daughters, and I can't starve to death?

Gretel walked around in circles a few times, but in the end he still felt that he couldn't stand by and watch.No, I have to tell the teacher, and if I meet someone from the review meeting, I have to tell them——

Speaking of which, he hadn't dealt with much in this judging session, and he didn't know anyone.Otherwise, just ask about the progress of the negotiation and how much money he can get as an excuse to find the review meeting?

He stomped his feet, took out the [Endless Ink Pen], and activated the teleportation function on it.The figure disappeared in place, and when it reappeared, it had already reached the top of Igor Peak, and when it looked up, it was the huge Tongtian Tower.

It is said that the teleportation function on this thing was originally fixed to the top of Igor Peak and outside the fan lock.After Gretel reached level 7, he could modify it on his own.

However, Gretel's level of teleportation is really hard to describe in words. Although the mage level has exceeded, he still won't change...

Fortunately, he doesn't have this need.It’s very convenient to sit on Apa’s back and talk and laugh with Cerilla and Bernard every day after get off work.For things like teleportation, save it for meeting the teacher.

The Lord of Thunder quickly received him.Regarding the situation reported by Gretel and the suggestions he made, the Lord of Thunder did not move his brows, as if he was not surprised at all.After listening, he tore a piece of paper and threw a [Secret Imprint] at him:

"I didn't intend to let you participate in this matter. But since you asked - take this note to the judging meeting, just tell me what I mean, what earldom, you go for a trip."

Gretel left with a note in his hand, tears streaming down his face.Teacher, you didn't write a single word on this note, but just left a [Secret Imprint] - for a magician, this is equivalent to your own stamp - is this for me to fill in by myself?
Can I write whatever I want?
Well, I don't dare to...

Also, what earldom is that, which earldom is it?What the hell is going on?Teacher, you are vague, why did you send me away...

He muttered downstairs, took the elevator, and descended all the way to the 120th floor of Tongtian Tower.A monk who can run away can't run away from the temple, no, the review committee will change, and the office of the review committee will not change places for no reason.

Over the past few years, Gretel has been very familiar with being interrogated, held meetings, discussed, asked for money, projects, and other things.

There are eight members of the judging committee. The usual practice is that each school has one person to serve as the rotating committee member.No name is written on the nameplate at the door of the office, only the representative emblems of each school are inscribed - Gretel guessed, probably for the sake of budget.

So, Gretel knew the way, and of course, he was taken to the office of the evocation department committee member.

"Master Nordmark? Please sit down."

The rotating committee member this time is a middle-aged woman, wearing a dark blue mage robe with several snowflake-like patterns embroidered with silver thread.Maybe it's the magician in the direction of ice and snow?

No wonder the temperature in the entire office dropped by two degrees without turning on the air conditioner...

Gretel sat down politely in front of her.He took the teacup from the staff and observed the other party by the way:

The sorceress was about forty years old, with a serious face and her hair tied back in a tight bun.The nasolabial folds are deep, and there is a deep vertical line between the brows, even when he took the note and raised his head to say hello, he didn't let go.

"Hello, I'm Aliz Usman, the rotating committee member of the evocation department." The female magician glanced at the note, then filed it, and rummaged through it on a file shelf next to it.While looking for and saying hello, the speed of speech is fast:
"I already know the purpose of your visit. There is just one thing that requires the council to send a mage of the same level to do it. Since it is the intention of the Lord of Thunder, I will trouble you to make a trip—ah, here."

She quickly pulled out a document with a pale yellow mark, opened it, glanced at it for confirmation, and pushed it in front of Gretel:
"On the island to the west, Earl Rothcomb did not respond to the parliament's call to stockpile grain in advance. When the famine came, he did not open warehouses to release grain. Now there are already large-scale hungry people in the territory. The parliament is negotiating with him to guide the hungry people He refused to go to other areas—"

"So someone needs to be in charge?"

Gretel blurted out.Master Usman evoked a stylized smile:
"Yes. There are people who will do the specific negotiation, guiding refugees, and transshipment, but you need a person with enough weight to sit down and negotiate. Now, it's you."

"I'll go right now!"

The Kingdom of Kent consists of two large islands and several smaller islands.The big island to the west is called Aiolan Island, because the island is lined with trees and the river network is criss-crossing, and it is also known as the "Island of Emerald" and "Island of Emeralds".

Earl Rothcomb's territory is in the middle of Aioland Island, a little northerly, about 200 miles by sea from Nevis, and another [-] miles by land to go ashore.

According to the information provided by the staff of the judging committee, the council had already prepared a fast boat for the past messengers, but Gretel was in a hurry——

"No need! You find a fast boat and stand by at the place closest to Aiolan Island. I'll go there directly by land!"

There are already hungry people!

That is to say, people have already begun to die!

At this time, the sooner you arrive, the better!
"The nearest to them is the port of Belltown, only twenty miles by sea, but—"

"That's it!"

Gretel jumped up and sprinted down.Go back to the mage tower and immediately raise your voice:
"Bernard! Shout out to Appa! Cerilla! I'm going on a long journey to the west of Aioland. Will you come with me?"

"Then we must be together!"

"Then hurry up! Pack your things and leave immediately!"

While relaying the situation, he found out the interspatial bag that had not been used for a long time—the largest one had already been taken away by Lynn—and swept things into it.Serila listened for a moment, then raised her eyebrows:

"Then why do you let Appa run away? Let's fly directly there! The speed is much faster, and we will arrive tonight!"

"Fly directly..."

"Fly directly! I'll take you!" She spread her arms wide and raised her head proudly:
"I'm an adult now! Don't talk about you, Bernard and Appa, I can carry a few more!"

In the setting sun, on the top of the mage's tower, a huge silver dragon soared into the sky.Bernard sat on the back of the dragon, with his head buried, hugging a thorn tightly; Gretel sat in front of him, hugging Appa, who had become the size of a cat, with a wisp of white cloud gently surrounding him—

That was the shield specially constructed by Yinlong for them.With this ray of white clouds, the wind does not blow the face, and the rain does not touch the body.

Break through the cold rain, break through the clouds.The silver dragon spread its wings, jumped out of the rolling cloud waves, and came above the thick cumulonimbus clouds.

The warm rays of the setting sun shrouded them, coating the silvery dragon scales and Gretel's cheek facing the setting sun with a faint golden light.

"Cerilla, let's go! Go west, go south! Fly along the coastline, cross the sea, and the big island opposite is there!"
