Chapter 387. Commoners and Nobles

"The weather is nice today, is Jiang Jianxin out to sunbathe too?"

At the hospital entrance, Summers walked out carrying a birdcage and happened to see Jiang Jianxin, who was wearing a white robe and sitting on the steps.

Her body is not fully recovered, but her condition has indeed improved significantly. At least she can get out of bed and walk around now, and the pain has shrunk to the area around her heart. Her arms and legs no longer hurt.

Summers was very pleased with this, after all, he was her attending physician, and the fact that he had cured such a difficult and complicated disease also highlighted his superb medical skills.

When Jiang Jianxin turned to look at him, he saw the blond youth's smiling face, which was quite kind, and the reading glasses on his face made him look quite mature despite his young age.

"Yes, the weather is really nice today, I'm planning to go for a walk."

Jiang Jianxin coughed twice and said.

Summers' smile vanished, and he gently advised:
"Your body is not fully recovered yet, and things have been quite chaotic lately. You should rest well in your hospital room. I do not recommend that you go out for a walk."

He was almost fully recovered, and his PowerPoint presentation was almost finished. But if he went out for a walk and his condition worsened, and he died, the CEO would probably punish him severely.

Summers felt a headache coming on just thinking about the president's capitalist face, which had a half-smile on his face.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Jianxin shook his head and said:

“I’ve been indoors for too long, I can’t stand it anymore… so I’ll just wander around the neighborhood.”

Summers remained silent for a long while. He glanced at his birdcage, then at the patient his superiors had assigned him to provide special care for, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Then... I won't walk the bird today. Where do you want to go? I'll go with you."

Nurses can handle things inside the hospital, but things outside the hospital are not within their job scope.

Putting aside whether the nurses are busy taking care of patients, he wouldn't feel at ease sending them.

Jiang Jianxin glanced at him with some surprise, coughed lightly twice, and subconsciously raised the longsword in his hand:
"No need to trouble yourself, Dr. Sa. I can take care of myself. I'll just walk around the neighborhood and I'll be fine."

Summers sighed, his tone gentle yet earnest:
“The situation here is more complicated than you imagine. You’re new here and unfamiliar with many of the rules. I’m here with you because it’s on the orders of the higher-ups—the president specifically instructed me to make sure everything is alright for you.”

The words were spoken subtly, but the meaning was clear.

Jiang Jianxin immediately understood and nodded:

"I understand. Well... thank you for your help."

Summers pointed to the birdcage he was carrying:
"I'll put it back first, then change my clothes. Wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house.

He came out again after only three or four minutes.

The pink doctor's coat she had worn earlier had been replaced by a long gold dress, with a white scarf tied around her neck and delicate gold tassels hanging from her epaulets.

With his golden hair, handsome face, and deep blue eyes, he looked like a noble prince emerging from a formal occasion.

Jiang Jianxin couldn't help but look at it a few more times in astonishment.

Noticing her gaze, Summers explained matter-of-factly:
"This is my usual casual wear. I usually wear this when I'm not working."

He straightened his wrinkled cuffs and added:
"I come from a noble family, and I haven't left the family yet." Even so, Jiang Jianxin was still shocked. He had seen people dress formally for work and casually for leisure, but he had never seen anyone dress so modestly for work.

Several nurses walked past the hospital entrance, heading to other buildings to retrieve documents. They weren't surprised by Summers' attire and greeted him warmly.

"The weather is nice today, and the dean is out too."

"Hello, Dean!"

Summers greeted the nurse with a smile, then asked Jiang Jianxin:

Where are you planning to stroll around?

Jiang Jianxin pointed to a street in front of the hospital:
"Let's go for a walk ahead. I'm just a little curious about what this world looks like."

"Ok."

Summers readily agreed, and then walked out onto the street with Jiang Jianxin.

In front of the hospital was a bustling street with many shops, each adorned with a bright red flag. In the distance, the church spire, also painted red, could be faintly seen.

There happened to be a local nearby, and Jiang Jianxin asked in confusion:
"Does Dr. Sa know why these flags are displayed on both sides of the street?"

Summers explained:

"This is a land covered by faith. Every piece of land has its own faith. The area we are in now is the faith domain of the Fire God, and these red flags are the symbol of the Fire God."

He pointed to the church with its red spire in the distance and said:

"The god of fire loves the color red; even his churches have red walls and red towers, and the entire faith reveres red."

Jiang Jianxin followed him and saw many people dressed in different ways. Some of them were dressed in elaborate and rich clothes, like Summers, while others were dressed very simply.

Having lived for so long in the diverse and vibrant post-apocalyptic fashions of the original world, Jiang Jianxin found it quite novel to see such sharply contrasting styles of dress for the first time. She asked:
Is there a clear division between social classes here?

Her question was somewhat formal, but Summers understood it and explained:

"Here, people are divided into nobles and commoners according to their birth. It's easy to tell them apart. You just need to talk to them. Nobles are well-educated and generally speak politely and logically, while most commoners are illiterate."

He looked at Jiang Jianxin and said calmly:
"To be honest, when you first spoke to me, I felt that your tone and manner were very special, with a kind of elegance of ancient nobility. If the president hadn't told me that you came from another world, I would have thought that you were a young lady from a great noble family."

After Jiang Jianxin was brought here, Summers communicated with her using the local language of the wizarding world.

She was in excruciating pain and didn't notice that the language was flooding her brain, and somehow it was transformed into something she could understand. Subconsciously, she also began to speak this language, which should have been unfamiliar to her.

This change went unnoticed by Jiang Jianxin, who was in excruciating pain.

Later, as his health gradually improved, Jiang Jianxin realized that he naturally spoke a different language when he was seriously ill.

However, because it sounds so natural, as if it were something one was born knowing, it doesn't elicit much surprise even after one realizes its meaning.

Jiang Jianxin had also pondered why he suddenly knew this language from another world, but his first instinct was always – isn't it normal to know this language?

Her recent illness had left her little time to think about this matter, and she was somewhat surprised that Summers had brought it up today.
"The scent of ancient nobility? Is it obvious?"

Summers nodded confidently:
“It’s very obvious. So obvious that almost the moment you open your mouth, one can tell that you must be a very well-mannered nobleman.”
