I Became the illegitimate son of a duke
Chapter 78
78 – College (4)
“Exams? What is an exam?”
“Are you going to judge me just by this pun?”
“What is written there? I don’t know how to read.”
“If you’re a doctor, shouldn’t you show your ability to patients like a doctor?”
“Everyone be quiet, be quiet!!”
‘What is all this…’
Obviously, after hearing that a doctor was being selected, I barely walked from my hometown to Dijon.
This nameplate? Badge? Anyway, seeing that they have the same thing as me, they are probably people who came to become doctors like me, but when I saw the tail, it was so disgusting that I don’t think I could ever heal a person.
No, how could your body smell better than me from the countryside? It’s worse than the smell from the patient’s body.
“I’ll explain it again. If you solve the given problem and get more than the set number of problems, you pass. If you don’t like this, just leave here.”
“No, so I have to see the patient… Oops…”
As the overseer with a tired face made one gesture, the spears that had been held in the hands of the soldiers and looked at the sky were pointed forward. Of course, the distance between the soldiers and the crowd was far, so no one was hurt, but there was no problem in quieting the noisy crowd just by pointing a weapon at them.
“And he who cannot read is not worthy. Let him go.”
“So what the hell are letters and patients– Oh, no… Yes, it’s better. That’s right.”
‘Thank God…’
Illiterate people lower their heads with intimidated faces, and a girl from the countryside sweeps her heart as she sees it.
I learned letters from a priest to read the Bible, but I thought it would come back like this.
As expected, the priest was right when he said that there is nothing to lose in life if you know the letters.
“Damn it…”
“What does healing have to do with letters… I don’t understand.”
“Shut up and walk quickly.”
“Hwiyu—-“
“You idiots, how are you going to treat a person who can’t even read?”
In preparation for an unexpected riot, the soldiers point their weapons at them and drive out the illiterate group.

Most of the literate people see it and are happy that there are fewer competitors, or look at the ignorant and laugh at them, but some people don’t care about others and just look at the words on the sign and are already getting into trouble. Start thinking about the answer.
And this girl is among those few.
‘Let’s see… Explain the correlation between cleanliness and sickness?’
Leclerc thought there was no need to use expensive paper for baseless outcasts, and he modified the test method Claude described in a way that saved money as much as possible.
Place a huge sign with a problem written on it in an empty lot outside the palace, and the people gathered in the lot can look at it, think of an answer, and talk to the supervisor.
Of course, this is a form that is very vulnerable to cheating, but the method proposed by Leclerc was approved under Claude’s judgment that a little conversation would be enough to filter it out anyway.
“Looks like you’ve sorted it out. Now read the questions written on this bulletin board, think about the answer to them, and tell me.”
‘Clean…? Oh, do you mean washing?’
Washing is usually to get rid of stains and odors… Smell?
Hmm… It’s almost like I know it.

Most of the patients I cared for in the village had a strong or disgusting body odor, but healthy people did not.
And if you eat something that smells bad because it’s dirty or rotten, the person who ate it got sick after a while.
I hated that smell so much that I cleaned the ward and the patients every day, and after touching a patient, I immediately scrubbed my hands until the smell went away.
At that time, I vaguely thought the two might be related, but I never thought I’d see it here.
‘So if you smell it, you’ll get sick, and if you wash away the smell, you won’t get sick?’
Okay, here’s the answer to the first question.
I don’t know because I haven’t learned these things, but it’s not like I learned anything to heal the villagers in the first place.
As I was just taking care of the patient with all my heart, I suddenly got a perfect treatment, and I was treating the villagers one by one according to that experience, and after receiving a recommendation from a merchant, I ended up here.
I can’t be afraid to say I don’t know anything now.
‘Okay, next problem…’
The girl who came up from the countryside made a resolution inwardly and continued to come up with an answer to the problem in her own way.
Two hours later, the girl is handed over to her supervisor and she is given the honor of entering Dijon.
…………
“If you smell it, you won’t get sick… That’s fine.”
‘Crazy, crazy, crazy…’

Mr. Merchant… He said he was a doctor… You said he was a simple doctor, not a palace doctor…
But why did the duke, no, the king come out in person-
“And how did you say you came up with the idea of boiling this water?”
“That, that’s that! Whoops…”
It’s ruined…
You were so nervous you chewed your tongue out. I chewed so hard that I could taste the blood in my mouth and my tongue was so thick I couldn’t move it properly.
Hurry up… If I don’t answer the King’s question, I’ll be rude and slit my throat… Heeik…
“Ahhhhh… There is a musty smell in my village…The smell is sour, so I thought of a way to get rid of it, so I added herbs and brewed it…”
“…Stop it, I’ll talk about it once my tongue is a little better.”
“Yes, yes yes…”
It’s done…
To hear the King tell her to shut up would have cost her a lot…
If your score goes down, you’ll be eliminated… Then you’ll return home empty-handed… Huh?
‘Is this okay in its own way?’
If you pass as a palace doctor, you have to live in the palace from now on, but there’s no way I, an ignorant country girl, can live in a place like this, right?
I don’t know anything about etiquette, so I’m going to commit rudeness dozens of times a day. How can I live because I’m shaking?
Okay, let’s aim for elimination. There’s no problem with eating and living anyway.
That said, if I answer carelessly, I could get my throat cut for being rude, so I should answer with the utmost sincerity, right?
‘…Okay.’
The girl who aimed for her elimination felt less burdened and, as a result, the girl who acted naturally. I confided in her and continued her answer.
“Passed.”
“…Yes?”
And the girl proudly passes as a disciple to receive Claude’s teaching.
The girl is led away by the hands of her ladies-in-waiting, blinking her eyes, completely unaware of how things are going.
…………
“Ellen, it’s Ellen…”
I just waited with the traps spread, but to think that such a big fish would walk in on its own.
I wonder if the students will listen properly because I’m a little young and I’m a girl, but other than that, I’m the smartest among the people who passed and the one who comes closest to [Medicine].
“How was it?”
“Even as someone who has no knowledge of that kind of thing, her words are very persuasive.”
Starting with the solution of cleanliness and water pollution, the smell of the clothes worn by the patient can hardly be removed, so they just burn it, or they hate the bad smell of the patient, such as the smell of blood or saliva, so when they meet the patient, they cover their nose and mouth with a cloth. Ellen gave a very good answer, such as covering the affected area with a boiled cloth for a traumatized patient, or making an optimal medicine by combining various herbs based on the symptoms of a diseased patient.
Of course, as Ellen argued, the cause of the disease is germs and saliva, not smell, but we have to consider the limitations of the times when we can’t find germs, and besides, it’s not wrong if you look at it in a big way.
Because smelly means dirty, and dirty is directly related to disease. It’s even creepier to say that something so small that you can’t see it causes a disease, even though you don’t even have a microscope.
‘What I like the most is that I learned all this by self-study without any books.’
Ellen passed her exam solely on the basis of her experience in treating patients and her guesses based on it, but like other successful candidates, she has never read a medical book full of quackery knowledge.
When asked what he thought about drawing a lot of blood as a treatment, he frowned with an expression of ‘What bullsh*t are you talking about?’ Why do you do that to a patient?], Or when asked what you think about feeding mercury to a patient who is sick due to lack of earthly energy based on the 4 elements novel, [That… What is the energy of iron? I guess it’s magic, not medicine…] And so on, she gave only really refreshing answers to the quackery cures.
Looking at Ellen who gave such an admirable answer, it seems that the problem was not with people, but with books containing similar medical knowledge close to witchcraft and superstition, or the people who spread them. Well, people’s intelligence is all there, but there’s no way people in the past were stupid.
With Qin Shi Huang’s heart, all the books with such nonsense bullsh*t written on them should be burned, and all quacks spreading nonsense should be buried in the ground.
“Are there six people who pass? Give each of them a room for one person and clothes to stay in the castle. Meals… Well, there are servants who are commoners, so that’s fine. Come out to the dining room and eat.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Good luck in the future, high-class slaves.
