A Hospital in Another World? - Chapter 263

Bishop Hampton couldn’t help but sigh. As a ship’s doctor, he had removed many foreign objects from wounds. Some came out with just a minor treatment, while others, as soon as they were removed, caused a gush of blood that could only be stemmed with high-level divine magic. The feeling of dread and tension during those moments was something he never wanted to experience again.

But Garrett, although initially apprehensive, remained calm and collected throughout. In the end, he successfully removed the iron nail without any fuss, and the blood that flowed out merely dampened a piece of gauze.

The bishop had a lot of questions to ask. Garrett smiled at him and gestured for him to hold on:

“Sorry, I’m busy at the moment. There are still many wounded soldiers to treat!”

The bishop nodded and turned away to attend to his duties. With the severely wounded soldiers treated, only some minor injuries remained, which the soldiers could handle themselves with a wash. Bishop Hampton clapped his hands together and returned to see Garrett sitting on a low stool, facing a soldier with a bloodied leg:

“Hmm, this wound seems quite significant… Don’t move, I’ll numb it for you first, then clean the wound…”

He raised his hand. Bishop Hampton’s eyes lit up, and he hurried over to Garrett’s side. He saw Garrett’s hand slightly curved, fingers spread open, resembling the standard gesture for “Alleviate Pain.” Then, his hand moved up about half a foot, covering the soldier’s knee.

A familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar wave emanated.

“Ah—” Bishop Hampton subconsciously wanted to speak up. What’s with this positioning for ’Alleviate Pain’? This spell should be aimed far away at the wounded person, enveloping them entirely to completely numb their pain, allowing them to continue fighting!

What are you doing aiming the spell at his knee?

Before he could utter a word, someone else was quicker to speak. The soldier, whose wound was being cleaned, grimaced and twisted his face: “Ow—”

Garrett stopped his hand, his eyes slightly widened, looking very nervous. The soldier cried out twice, then suddenly stopped, lowering his head to look at his own leg:

“Huh, huh? It doesn’t hurt?”

Garrett burst into laughter. The soldier also smiled apologetically: “Sorry, Bishop, I thought it would hurt a lot…”

“As long as it doesn’t hurt.” Garrett chuckled and lowered his head to pour physiological saline on the wound. After pouring half a bottle, he suddenly stopped, pointing at the wound in front of him:

“Imaging magic!”

A wave of invisible and intangible breeze swept over. On the soldier’s leg, wood chips, dust, small stones, and flowing blood were all swept away, revealing a clean wound surface and a few wood chips stuck in the muscles that needed to be removed.

“You can use imaging magic like this?” Bishop Hampton was astonished. He paused for a moment, sighed:

“Mages are indeed so convenient…”

Garrett sighed inwardly. Imaging magic for cleaning wounds was indeed useful. If it were in his previous life, cleaning such a large wound, disinfecting, removing debris, and thoroughly cleaning it would definitely take at least half an hour!

With this skill, his efficiency as a junior doctor in the emergency department in his previous life would have doubled!

He meticulously removed the wood chips again and disinfected them. A white light brushed past, and under the traction of positive energy, the superficial scratches healed silently. Bishop Hampton immediately approached:

“How did you use ’Alleviate Pain’? Why is the wave so small? Why can it still relieve pain when aimed upwards? ——Ah, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be asking, but can I watch you from the side?”

“Of course you can!”

Garrett raised his face, giving him a bright smile.

One treated, one observed. After treating the fifteenth wounded soldier, Garrett wiped his sweat, shrugged, indicating that the treatment was complete. The next moment, Bishop Hampton eagerly handed him a small golden bottle:

“Energy potion. Below fifth level, one sip can replenish mental power.”

Garrett smiled and accepted it, nodding to him. He continued to clean and treat the wounded soldiers, chattering away as he worked:

“This wound of yours is quite deep… Wait a moment, let me find a strap to tie your upper arm tightly, so that if it injures a blood vessel, it won’t spray blood…”

“If the wound is deep, it must be thoroughly cleaned. Don’t worry, I’ll hold the wound open and wipe it with alcohol…”

“Does it feel better now? You can still feel me touching the wound, but it doesn’t hurt, right?”

Bishop Hampton stayed close by, almost wanting to hold a notebook and jot down every word Garrett said, every step of the spellcasting. After treating the last wounded soldier, washing his hands, Garrett turned to him with a grateful smile:

“Sorry for the disturbance. I’ve been researching ’Alleviate Pain’ recently and couldn’t find a place to test it. Thank you for your patience!”

“No disturbance at all.” Bishop Hampton smiled and waved his hand repeatedly:

“This is the Council’s fleet, and you are also a healer. It’s a good thing to treat soldiers. Since the fleet allows you to enter, if you need anything, just come over!”

“That’s great!” Garrett smiled happily:

“By the way, I still have some details I don’t quite understand about ’Alleviate Pain.’ Can I discuss it with you, as a powerful senior healer?”

Named as a consultation, the actual exchange of ideas continued until evening. Starting from this day, Garrett had an additional experimental base – in the morning, the clinic; in the afternoon, the fleet barracks; and in the evening, continuing the development of penicillin in the laboratory. Half a month later, his ’Alleviate Pain,’ oh no, his anesthesia technique made rapid progress. The anesthesia range within 10*10 cm had been reduced to the level of a zero-level cantrip.

And his P4 laboratory, oh no, the mage tower drawings, finally reached a final draft and were laid out thickly in front of him.

“The left side is the basic version. Seven floors above ground, two floors underground. Equipped with four elemental pools, control room, two invisible servants, alchemy laboratory, meditation room. Spell protection includes reinforced tower body, arcane locks, sealing spells, magic alarms, protective energy, in addition to the biological laboratory you specifically requested, it’s the structure of a basic mage tower in other provinces.”

The master of protective magic pushed the draft forward:

“Choose the standard version, and the construction costs will be borne by the Council. Apart from the training and assessment agreed upon earlier, you won’t need to pay anything extra.”

“What about the version on the right?”

Garrett looked over to the side with keen eyes. Don’t lie to me, deliberately presenting two versions just to make me choose the more expensive one, right!

“The advanced mage tower on the right, in addition to the four elemental pools, adds a positive energy chamber and a negative energy chamber, and the tower spirit level is raised by one level.” The master mage smiled knowingly:

“Two additional protective spells, two trap spells, invisible servants increased to four, and an arcane garden for cultivating magical plants.”

“Just tell me! What do you want me to do!”
