Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 331: A Letter with Gorgeous Patterns

To the respected Grand Master of the Order of the Holy Hospitaller, a man of mercy and piety, the future Lord Wood, an honorary knight, a professor of medical school at Rivers University and University of London, a pioneer in pulmonary, cardiology and anesthesia surgery, the chairman of the Tuberculosis and Rare Diseases Medical Society, an outstanding physician, a close ally of the Higgs family, my friend:
Dearest friend, I am glad to see you in person. Your team should have walked to the place beyond the reach of the glory of the Cathedral of Our Lady. May God bless you and your family, and bring wisdom and insight to the land He has sealed.

Assuming the delivery team has a smooth journey, what you see in front of you is all the goods ordered before departure, including 35 customized metal and leather tool sets and their variants, more than 20 fine sterling silver needles, and five boxes of customized white glass containers.

Due to the large amount and the possibility of unavoidable losses, please check the types and data in person according to the specific list as much as possible to ensure that they are correct.

If there is unavoidable transportation damage or model size error, please indicate in your reply and we will expedite delivery within two months at the earliest.

Regarding our joint pharmaceutical and medical device business, the revenue is considerable thanks to the introduction of new therapies and equipment. A small portion of this quarter's dividend has been converted into Westminster gold coins as required, and the rest will be brought in the form of silver coins. Please see the attached form at the end of this letter for details.

About a quarter of the revenue comes from sales of the "heart tonic" in David's doctor's clinic, and the regular use of guidance and consultation services, the recorded cases of medication use are continuing to grow.

I have to say that Dr. David's talent in business and management is remarkable and his help to us is even greater than that of Lecturer Weiren. Your decision to make an exception and recruit him as a member of the Society is very far-sighted.

There are already many people trying to copy the drug, but I don't think their blind exploration can pose a threat within the six-month confidentiality period you have set.

In fact, CFO Barber believes that if the formula is released later, it can be developed into an industry that brings sustainable benefits for several years. I also suggest that it be released when there are small-scale, less reliable generic drugs in the outside world, in order to achieve the right balance between economic and reputational benefits.

Of course, whether and when to make the formula public is entirely up to you, and the Xiguo family will never violate the sacred contract.

In contrast, "ether", as a medicine that requires more professional skills, is more likely to provide a broad and stable source of income in the future.

Even though you disclosed the entire preparation process, private surgical clinics do not have the ability or courage to prepare such dangerous drugs on their own. They may have tried the latter, but soon stopped trying after a few serious burns.

With the personal guidance of the inventor, the Higgs family's advantage in this area will last for several years until the first group of physicians who learn relevant skills in medical school obtain their degrees and licenses.

Perhaps most of them will still choose to continue purchasing rather than create huge fire hazards in their own clinics.

All you have to do then is keep the price slightly lower than your own cost, and the business will never close.

But for now, there are eager buyers willing to pay several times the price just to use this drug as soon as possible, and the accompanying nebulizer inhalation device. After all, who wants to be awake and watch the doctor remove their legs?
The church also believed that anesthesia surgery was a "relatively merciful" treatment method, and the Knights Hospitaller were undoubtedly inspired by God the Father.

We are in a unique period brought about by breakthroughs in surgical technology. This is a field that has never been explored before, and the opportunities there are far beyond the imagination of the old misers who stick to their ancestral industries.

As for the church, I heard that the bishops were unusually generous and promised an entire monastery and surrounding land as payment.

The location and weather there are similar to Westminster Castle, and it is even called "the place north of Westminster." The mountains and forests are rich in resources, and it is a great place for those who like to get prey by themselves.

You may have noticed when you came here that to get to Westminster and Dunling in the north of the kingdom, you need to go around the coastline to the south and then go around the Teme River deep into the interior. No one recommends taking the land route.

This is of course because the mountains in the middle are not suitable for any large team to pass through.

I must emphasize that it is "mountains", not the small dirt slopes you see in Wendeng Port or the South Downs. The difference between them is probably as great as the difference between the Dunling sewer and other city sewers.

Unfortunately, according to family suppliers, road conditions there have not improved substantially in decades.

The settlements are separated by the terrain into small, unrelated, gentle valleys and basins. They are self-sufficient, closed and stagnant, and neighboring villages rarely communicate with each other for months.

At least 80% of the local lords are not very clear about how many taxable populations are hidden in the corners of the map; the remaining 20% ​​are completely unaware and have no interest in finding out. The cost of sending tax collectors may even cover the benefits.

Fortunately, even such a place has not been ignored by the glory of our Heavenly Father.

Decades ago, missionaries had already penetrated deep into the extremities of this complex region, connecting small settlements in the form of churches, making them a de facto part of the kingdom.

In some places, the church's influence is far greater than that of the theoretical rulers.

The monastery you are about to visit is also one of the achievements of that year. The monks accomplished this miracle among the mountains through hard work, wisdom, faith, and a little insignificant financial support from the church headquarters.

If you have some knowledge of engineering, you will find that its size is extraordinary. It should have become an important hub of church faith, responsible for a large area of ​​religious affairs - and it did so for more than ten years after its completion.

However, this important building has been abandoned for more than 20 years and has been sealed and entrusted to the lord. That's right, there are not even monks left to complete daily maintenance, but it has been completely sealed and entrusted to the lord.

Although the local Priyère family has always had close ties with the church, and even the brother of the current Baron Priyère serves in the church, they are obviously not as prominent as you, and it seems inappropriate for them to be entrusted with the management of a large monastery.

I have no doubt that you are capable enough to solve any problem, and I have no intention of speculating on the Holy See's intentions. I just suggest that you build a closer relationship with the Priyère family before taking over the property. As locals, their opinions are definitely worth listening to.

Finally, please give my sincere greetings to your family, all the members of the Society, and your disciples. May the grace of God always protect you and the Order. The Higo family is always happy to help you in your personal affairs and in our common cause. I hope we will continue to maintain close contact in the days to come.

Your faithful friend:

Frances Higgins
……

……

"I knew it." Kraft stuffed the parchment back into the envelope, aligned it with the blue-green heraldic pattern on the seal, and muttered quietly, "There's no such good thing in the world."

It was really hard for Frances to prepare the goods in such a tight time, take a shortcut to catch up with the convoy, and bring the latest gossip.

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly. Nowadays, all the territories of some value have long been sealed off. Most of the new nobles from old Wood's generation onwards have to go to the northern border to deal with brown bears. There are no good places with completed infrastructure waiting for the Knights to move in.

It's just a matter of the size of the problem. Since there is no big news and people can still live around it, it means the problem is not particularly big.

Even if there are some unconventional problems, the worst that can happen is...

"Captain." A rough voice interrupted the professor's thoughts and pulled him back to the busy camp. "The goods have been counted. There are basically no problems. A few glassware were damaged during transportation, but we have spares of the same specifications."

"As for the quality of the metal instruments, I can only tell that the material and workmanship are good. You will need to inspect them in person."

"Thank you, Brother Raymond. I told you that you don't have to address me by this title. Under the gaze of God, all people are equal, except for different job functions." Kraft took the charcoal-marked list, glanced through it quickly, and put it away.

The first impression of this experienced monk is his distinctive voice and equally rough and tough appearance.

He had a short beard, which was relatively rare in the church, but it was trimmed quite neatly, even during the tiring journey, which was consistent with Kraft's impression of him during this period.

He is a strict and law-abiding person. To be honest, it is hard to understand why such a person would leave Dunling with the Knights.

"But you are indeed the leader." The expected answer.

"Maybe we can change to a name that sounds less distant." Kraft didn't like his new name, especially when he was standing in front of a carriage parked on the side of the road, which made him feel very strange.

"Mentor?" This is quite reasonable. In theory, the team leader does have the responsibilities of a mentor.

A girl who had just hammered a tent stake into the ground stopped her chores and looked over. Her work stretched from one end of the camp to the other.

"Professor Kraft." Raymond suddenly understood the correct way to address him.

"Let's get used to it. As companions who have faced those things together, we can call each other by our names." Kraft said with a smile.

The smile was kind and hazy, as the steep mountain and forest line behind it sank into the dusk. The bright side was coated with bright orange-red, as if it was burning blindly, while the dark side was murky and unclear, unable to form a clear image, but it had a persuasiveness beyond words or expressions.

The jagged night sky strips the warm light from every ridge and every cliff, revealing a subtle sense of oppression that was hidden during the day.

Raymond nodded, and before he knew it he had agreed.

"Do me another favor. Ask the person in charge of the Xiguo family's motorcade to come see me before they leave tomorrow morning. There is a letter that they need to take back to Dunling on their return journey."

"Okay, do you need me to list the missing items separately?"

"No, go and take over your shift with Kupp and rest. Those things are not worth another special trip. The letter is for our old friend Green."

"What do you want to ask the priest?"

"Indeed, I have to trouble him to help me look up some old information again. I hope his skills in rummaging through the piles of library documents have not deteriorated."

Happy National Day to all my fellow readers! Here is an update from the front line of our country’s medical and health care.

Also: Good news, a group member’s “Multiverse Survival Guide” was recently signed, which shows that I have a good vision (I’m sure).
