The Origin of Arcane

Xiao En's job as the shopkeeper was extremely smooth, not because of the noble reason of being unsuspecting, he was simply unwilling to invest too much energy in such a small matter.

What a joke, he doesn't really make money from this.

In this world where wealth is extremely polarized, 99% of the wealth is in the hands of 1% of the people, and the remaining 99% of the people only hold 1% of the wealth. If you want to make money with this, you won't target the 99% of people, but aim at the one percent.

The restaurant is just doing some charity while satisfying their eating needs, accumulating a little reputation for themselves, and better integrating into the city.

What Xiao En really wants to open is a medical clinic. His skill training and medicine have reached a bottleneck. In Ms. Elena's words, he knows everything he should know, and he knows what he shouldn't know. There is no problem with theoretical knowledge. The rest can only be accumulated experience and exploration comprehension by oneself.

There is nothing more suitable than a medical clinic of your own. There is no mistake in researching spells and accumulating medical experience.

But the cruel reality gave Sean a blow. The medical atmosphere in Solo City was even more conservative and backward than that of the Andes mountain people.

At least the Andes mountain people don’t shy away from medical treatment, whether it’s ancestral herbal prescriptions, mountain gods they believe in, or weird prescriptions from witch doctors in villages, as long as they can cure diseases, most of them will not refuse them.

Xiao En's hair hasn't even grown yet, and the fact that he can thrive is the best proof.

Solo City is another scene. There are a large number of people who are believers of the Holy See of Ether. They think that diseases are punishments and tests of gods for believers, and they are caused by lack of piety.

When they get sick, they often don't seek medical treatment immediately, but go to church or monastery to confess, or pray devoutly in front of the god statue, and it is a gift from the gods to forgive him for his past mistakes. It shows that this person has committed a lot of crimes and was punished by the true God.

When non-believers get sick, most of them will go to churches or monasteries. In addition to confession and prayers, they will find missionaries or monks for treatment. They usually work as part-time doctors and treat people for free.

If it can be cured, it is a gift from God. If it can't be cured, it means that the monks can't practice well, are not devout enough to the gods, and can't spread the gospel.

Those priests who failed in treatment would also pray and repent in front of the gods. This is not for show, but they deeply believe in this set of theories.

Those who have been treated by them are praised more than condemned, and many non-believers have become devout believers, and have made various donations to churches and monasteries that have cured themselves, and the amount is far higher than the cost of medical treatment.

Sean once went to the largest church and monastery in Solo City to exchange and study with a devout heart, but he didn't even enter the gate—they were not open to the Andes.

This made Sean very disappointed with the world-renowned Holy See of Saint Ether. A church that has not even broken racial discrimination is still hyping up the equality of all beings. Isn't this pure self-deception?

No wonder they can only nest in the core area of ​​the Byron Alliance to stir up wind and rain, and even border leaders like Man Yujun are not welcome.

The height of one's own perspective determines the height of one's own development. If their senior management is not aware of this, there is still a long way to go to develop into the only church in the entire continent.

This didn't bother Sean, but it changed from bright to dark. After some observation, he was disappointed. Even Jason, the most famous monk doctor in Solo City, used the most commonly used non-prayer method. It is a famous bloodletting therapy.

Two different worlds are surprisingly similar in certain developments.

Although there is no ancient Greece in the Arshan Continent, there is the ancient Andes Empire.

There are no medical saints Hippocrates and Dr. Galen, but there is Olagosian, a warlock doctor who is famous all over the continent.

This murderous doctor with mixed reputations became famous at the end of the ancient Andes Empire. He was also called the craziest warlock in the warlock world at that time with the mad king. The former was in blood research, and the latter was in disease research. There are far more people in Si En's hands than those he saved.

When Olagosian was about to die, he announced his biggest medical research, which was the theory of the four elements of feng shui, fire, earth, which later had a profound impact on the arts and medicine of the Arshan continent.

He believes that everything in the world is composed of these four elements, including the human body. The blood flowing in the human body is not only the source of strength, but also the source of disaster. It is through it that the disease flows through the whole body. Some theories of therapy were sent to the stake by the rebels before they could be tested.

For a long period of time, because of the fear of it, the research results of Olagosn have been thrown into the pile of old papers, and it was not until the last few decades that they were rediscovered.

Compared with the ignorant method of using human excrement as a good way to stop bleeding, even if Olagosian's theory is wrong, it is based on a large number of clinical trials. Compared with it, I don't know how many times it is advanced. It's natural to be highly respected.

The monk doctor Jason is one of the best. Prayer, bloodletting and honey water are his supreme weapons for curing diseases and saving lives.

Headache, bloodletting!

Back pain, bloodletting!

Leg hurts, bloodletting!

Stomach hurts, bloodletting!

Fever, let bloodletting!

When we arrived at his place, there was only one process, bloodletting first, then drinking a cup of honey water, and then he prayed for him.

The reason why the roses in his backyard are more delicate and red than ordinary people's is because of the blood of a large number of patients, so they are also called blood roses.

Don't think this is irony, on the contrary, it is a compliment. Many young lords and nobles regard it as a fashion to get a bouquet of blood roses for their lovers. For this reason, Brother Jansen had to hire a The retired grand knight guards his back garden.

Brother Jansen is not a ruthless person. If you come to ask for it, most of them will agree. You just need to make a little donation to the monastery. The amount is not mandatory, even a copper coin is fine.

But most of the people who go to ask for the blood rose are young and energetic lords and nobles, how could they be ashamed to do such a worthless thing, not to mention that this is for their sweetheart, if they really use a copper coin to ask for it , doesn't it mean that what I gave to my lover is only cheap goods worth a copper?

So the donation has never been lower than a Byron gold coin. If it is lower than this price, you will be ashamed to ask for the blood rose.

There is also an anecdote in it. Once a viscount from Wangdu met a beautiful lady while watching the wrestling. In order to win the heart of this girl who fell in love at first sight, he came here especially for a bouquet of blood roses. Thousand Byrons of gold.

At that time, there was a sensation in the whole city of Solo, and it turned out that this bold viscount won the beauty, and at the same time pushed the blood rose to the altar of love. The lords and lords of Solo City can afford dozens of gold coins or even hundreds of gold coins.

Now the blood rose can be called a new tool for showing off wealth in Solo City, and the monastery where Brother Jansen lives has also changed from an ordinary monastery to the largest monastery in Solo City in just a few decades.

After hearing about this incident, Sean sighed greatly. Regardless of Brother Jason's medical skills, he is an expert in marketing. He sold the blood roses that were not worth a silver coin by ten times or even more. A hundred times the price.

Against this background, Xiao En's medical clinic is no longer a mere crowd, and it has never opened at all until now, which is in stark contrast to the endless stream of restaurants.

Sean was fully prepared for this. Without the reputation of a miracle doctor established in the Andes Mountains for more than ten years, plus an authentic Andesian face, it would be hell if someone came to him for treatment.

Even the young waiters in the restaurant took nearly a week to recruit. This was due to the sluggish environment in Solo City. If they had other jobs, these young waiters would have quit.

From the very beginning, Sean's medical clinic did not target ordinary people in Solo City, which can be seen from the location of the store.

Sean's goal is a gladiator, and the medical center is only one street away from the world-famous No. 1 arena in Solo City.

Affected by the war, Solo City basically did not hold any decent gladiatorial competitions this year. Now that the major battles have subsided, holding a large-scale gladiatorial competition is the practice of Solo City, and invitations have been sent out.

One month later, the thirteenth gladiatorial competition will be held in the Solo Arena as scheduled. In order to stimulate more people to participate, the champion of this year's gladiatorial competition has nearly doubled compared to previous years, reaching 50,000 gold coins, which is enough to attract countless people. Desperate.

When the gladiatorial competition started, Sean had no shortage of patients.

In fact, there is no need to wait a month at all, and business will come to your door in a few days.

To warm up for the gladiatorial competition, it is very common for those slave owners to open the market in private and hold small-scale private gladiatorial fights. Sean alone knows about seven or eight of them.

As for whether those slave owners will ask Xiao En to heal their gladiators, that is not a problem. For free door-to-door services, those mercenary slave owners cannot refuse-those monks do not treat gladiators for free, or even They can't be hired even if they pay, because gladiators are not God's people.

In the past few weeks, Sean has not been idle, and has gone around Solo City. Except for Faerun Castle, he has basically gone around every corner of the entire city.

The result was disappointing. It was completely different from the beautiful image of the ancient city and castle that Sean imagined. Not to mention the rough and messy buildings, the overall environment can be described in three words—dirty, messy, and poor.

Narrow lanes, cross-flowing sewage, muddy roads, dilapidated courtyard walls, falling houses, numb people.

As a territory that rules thousands of miles of land, it has this virtue, not to mention those small towns and small towns. In this environment, it is very normal for epidemics to break out frequently, but once the infection spreads, it will spread to a large area.

Not to mention law and order, in the past few weeks he wandered around, he encountered blackmail, extortion, theft, and robbery no less than ten times a day on average. maybe.

As for the discrimination caused by Andis' identity, not to mention, wherever he went, there were people staring at him like thieves.

The only thing worthy of praise is Faerun Castle. A mountain has been flattened in half, like an inlay. Looking from a distance, it is full of a strong sense of history. I believe that even if it is different from the imagination, it will Not too big.
