"So, this is... another outing for the new semester?"
After Joe Annis patiently listened to the explanations of the familiar old man and young man in front of him, he looked at the growing team with a strange expression - is this the daily process of the top school in the magic world? Go out first in the first week of school.
Traveling a bit?
He still remembers seeing these two people in the ruins of the hospital a year ago.
As for getting lost or something...
Although he is just a "Muggle", it does not mean that he is a fool.
Joe Annis would not be naive enough to believe that the masterminds who took control of the entire Salzburg in an understatement could not even do things like identify directions - not to mention, they were wizards with magical powers.
However, as a "Muggle" who accidentally broke into the magical world, Annis knew the importance of restraining curiosity.
"Salk Hospital?" he said, "I understand, this way."
Joe Annis led Elena and others through the long and narrow alleyways and followed a familiar route.
Unlike the ordinary Muggle doctor who knew nothing about magic a year ago, after such a long time, Joe Annis already knew from the people around him who the person he was saving was, and...
What kind of pirate ship did he board? He is the Dark Lord's exclusive doctor. This is a job that he cannot resign from.
What makes Joe Annis even more desperate is that the city where he grew up has actually become a wizarding city overnight - after he became the first Muggle employee of the "Salk Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies"
On that day, many of the neighbors and shop owners he was familiar with took the time to come to the hospital and expressed their congratulations and thanks to him.
It's hard for Joe Annis to describe the kind of moment when he wanted to go to a bar for some quiet time, but suddenly he saw his uncle Kurt Meyer, who had grown up with him, take out a bottle of fine red wine and happily said that he wanted to celebrate him.
Join the mood of the magical world.
This is simply outrageous...
But on the other hand, this is also a good thing.
After accepting the setting that magic existed in this world, it took Joe Annis less than two days to completely adjust his mentality and calmly accepted his new position - [Salk Magic Injuries
Hospital] Trainee therapist, currently mainly studying and observing therapists from the magical world.
For Hermione Granger and others, the sunny and cheerful Joe Annis seems very trustworthy.
As for why this doctor knew about things in the magical world, it was not a big deal in their eyes.
The "International Confederation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy" has not yet left too many concepts in their minds. In such a magical city where wizards are everywhere running shops, it seems that it is not impossible to understand that there are Muggle doctors in the magic hospital.
of.
On the other hand, they were really fed up with the torture of having to choose between two idiots.
Even Luna's inspiration finally lost its former magic when faced with two hopeless road idiots.
"Why did he, um... I thought -"
Standing at the end of the crowd, Elena poked the old potato next to her and asked curiously in a low voice.
Regarding the [Salk Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies], this was indeed her plan, but there was no young doctor named Joe Annis in her original puzzle. She originally thought that Destiny was looking for a more qualified doctor.
Famous great doctor.
"Oh, this kid saved my life, so I gave him a chance to make a wish."
Grindelwald glanced at the young figure not far away and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Money, women, power, fame... he rejected all of these things that most Muggles would choose. He only had one wish - he wanted to study in a magic hospital and see how wizards treat patients.
"
"That's right...that's really a very excessive and troublesome wish."
Elena nodded thoughtfully and said with a playful chuckle.
"So that precious Muggle employee quota is just used by you to repay the favor?"
This is no different from the education reform at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This is the most sensitive issue of birth, aging, sickness and death anywhere.
When it comes to matters regarding hospitals for magical illnesses and injuries, the Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards are not as easy to compromise and fool around as before - whether it is the prejudice of therapists against Muggle doctors, or the danger of magic being exposed...
The risks and factors involved are simply too complex.
Even for such a quota, it was difficult to get it because of the use of Paracelsus' name, the establishment of a brand new magic hospital in Salzburg, and the research and treatment of difficult and complicated diseases in the wizarding world.
of.
"Repaying a favor? You can also say that..."
Grindelwald nodded slightly, grinned, looked at the little dumpling in front of him and said with a smile.
"What's the matter? Does the world's cutest Fairy Queen have any dissatisfaction?"
"No, I think it's very suitable - Joe has already entered the magic hospital anyway. It's your choice, His Highness the Dark Lord."
Elena glanced at Joe Annis' energetic steps, and the little boy swayed from side to side.
"Compared to the breadth of knowledge and academic authority, young intellectual curiosity is obviously more important. Traditional cognition will eventually be completely subverted. The intersection between the magical world and the non-magical world will definitely occur. This is the trend of civilization development.
, even ten International Federations of Wizards can’t stop it. This is not a prophecy, this is what is happening now!”
The new era has just begun, and she has the luxury of time and patience to develop it bit by bit.
If there will be no new Muggle doctors in the magical world in the future, it means that the future that Elena is looking forward to has almost completely failed, and naturally there is no need to consider any more profound knowledge integration.
"Dark Lord? This title no longer belongs to me, my dear Highness Kaslana."
Grindelwald shrugged, grinned and said, "Besides, in this world, it is so rare for a person to be able to save the Dark Lord from trouble twice in a row. This in itself is considered a very rare thing.
What a valuable talent.”
"Maybe, and... you are the one who is being rescued, not me. Don't take me with you."
Elena curled her lips, Xiaodai's hair trembled stubbornly, and she retorted in a stern voice.
At least in downtown Salzburg, she can proudly say that she is not a road addict.
There is also a physical difference between the devil and the devil. For example, she once dragged a severely comatose old guy across half of the city to the gate of the central hospital in a state of extreme hesitation.
"What are you two talking about? Come on, Elena."
Hermione Granger turned around, looked at the two idiots at the back who were discussing quietly, and waved.
Ever since "Professor Otto Apocalypse" led the wrong way several times in a row, the reliability of this once mysterious and majestic old wizard in the hearts of several little witches has plummeted, and he soon fell into a relationship with
"Identify the direction of Elena" is equally good - the kind that if you don't keep a close eye on her, you may have to post a missing person notice when you turn a corner.
In the face of the cruel reality, Elena did not continue to hold on, and hurriedly followed her at a trot.
Immediately afterwards, Grindelwald shamelessly followed him - although he is the most outstanding master of phantom movement in the world, today's task is to take the children on a trip. It would be too shameful to go back and ask for help because he lost someone.
Already.
…
It turns out that Salzburg's terrain is not that complicated.
With Joe Annis as their temporary guide, their journey to Salk Hospital was uneventful.
The road that Joe Annis chose didn't look special, but Elena noticed that some of the passages clearly did not conform to common urban planning, as if they were temporary express passages - after they walked through, the ones behind them were
There was a faint noise from the brick wall, which reminded her of the wall behind the Leaky Cauldron.
The journey was smooth, and by the time they arrived at the hospital, it was nearly forty minutes before the outing was over.
The appearance of the hospital hall has not changed much from what Elena remembers. The floors and walls that she once bombed into ruins have long since been restored to their original state by the power of magic. The only difference may be that the wall on the right side of the door is
There is an extra sign.
Of course, the patrolling security guards were all replaced by SCP wizards wearing velvet suits.
Luna Lovegood raised her head and quietly read the sign on the wall.
"Center for Research on Abnormal Human Diseases?"
"Well, it should be an abnormal [human disease] research center, it just depends on your sentence."
Joe Annis smiled and shook his head, corrected him casually and continued.
"Salzburg does not have a purely magical street like Diagon Alley. Making space in Salk Hospital is obviously the best from both a hygiene and concealment perspective. And applying in a hospital
New department—even if Salk Hospital is now owned by you wizards, you still have to find a name that makes sense..."
As the young doctor explained, he followed the directions of the signs and led everyone into an upward stair compartment.
"Okay, don't keep going up. We're here."
He stretched out his hand to stop Hannah Abbott who was still trying to run up the stairs. He turned his head and looked behind him. After everyone entered the corner compartment, he pointed to the fire hydrant opposite the handrail of the stairs.
.
"The entrance to the magic hospital is here, and further up is the non-magic office area used to defraud funds and hide from others..."
Joe Annis picked up his work ID card and touched it lightly on the fire hydrant, cleared his throat, pointed at the red fire hydrant, spoke clearly, and said word by word, "Jo Annis, let's go together."
Number of visitors: five."
For a moment, Hermione Granger thought Jo was funny.
In such a modern and beautiful hospital, talk to a red fire hydrant.
Then she suddenly remembered the bronze eagle ring outside the Ravenclaw lounge door, so Hermione opened her eyes wide and stared at the iron lump, expecting it to "come to life" and speak - even though it was already in the hall.
Gwartz had been studying for a year, but Hermione was still full of curiosity about these moving magic instruments and magic portraits.
However, with the voice of Joe Annis, the fire hydrant flashed and there was no movement at all.
"Okay, the approval has been approved," the young doctor turned around and walked towards the direction they came from, "Let's go."
"Eh? Let's go, let's go... where are we going?"
Hermione opened her mouth blankly, and Luna and Hannah standing next to her had the same expression.
Immediately afterwards, they watched as Joe Annis opened the compartment door and walked out in the direction they had just entered - the two road idiots who were at the back did not hesitate and followed quickly.
Went out.
"Let's go, the address this door leads to has changed."
Elena glanced at the silly wings behind her and couldn't help but stretched out her fingers and flicked Hermione's head affectionately.
She stretched out her hand, took Hermione's arm with a smile, and walked quickly towards the door. The two walked forward and opened the door together. Hermione felt as if she had passed through a layer of cold water, but was warm and dry.
Came out from the opposite side.
The original empty, clean hall disappeared and was replaced by an arcade paved with bluestone floor tiles.
There are four door knockers that look like woven vines on both sides of the arcade. A thin green flame curtain wall connects the area between the door knockers and the floor. It looks like a soap film that will break with a gentle blow.
From time to time, one or two wizards and wizards would rush out from the door knockers, shouting for help.
Some of them look normal, at least there is nothing wrong with them in appearance;
Others have horrific deformities, such as having elephant trunks or being covered with feathers, or being covered in all kinds of indescribable things that exude a foul odor, or something even worse...
The arcade was very noisy, and many patients were making strange noises. It was even noisier than the 9? station.
Among the crowd, several male and female witches and wizards wearing green and white wizard robes shuttled among the waiting patients, patiently asking about the specific situation, and at the same time writing and drawing on the writing board to take notes.
Hermione noticed that most wizards in green robes had a emblem embroidered on their chests: a wand and a cross made of bones.
"They are the doctors in the wizarding world...um, I mean healers?"
Hermione asked Hannah quietly.
"Some are," Hannah frowned and said uncertainly, "those wearing green robes are healers, but I have never seen anyone wearing white wizard robes at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies before...
…”
"Magic apothecary, this is a new and specialized branch of treatment in the magic world."
"Magic... apothecary?"
After glancing at Hermione who was still a little confused, Elena simply explained a few more words.
"To be precise, compared to traditional healers, they are more responsible for brewing targeted potions, as well as planning and arranging dosages and usage methods for various injuries and illnesses - I just got a pharmacist,
Therapist Qualification Certificate.”
"How is it possible? You haven't graduated yet..." Hannah Abbott's mouth turned into an O shape in surprise.
As a little witch who aspires to be admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital after graduation and serve as a "Green Angel", she is very aware of the difficulty of the therapist assessment - in addition to basic treatment capabilities, she also needs a guarantee from a regular hospital
Only a letter will do.
If the former can still rely on personal efforts, then the latter, work experience and employer recommendation, is too difficult.
"Well, that..."
Elena touched the little fool's fur with some embarrassment and pursed her lips towards Grindelwald who was not far away.
"I forgot to introduce it just now. This hospital was bought by Professor Apokalis. As a result of being adopted by the professor, I only need to show my normal healing magic ability. The professor will take care of the rest for me -
—”
"Well, if I also want to...well, forget it, my parents are still very good to me."
Hannah Abbott glanced at Elena enviously and sighed sadly.
Coming from a pure-blood family, Hannah is very aware of the convenience of this kind of family power. It is like she can have the qualifications to operate a catering shop through her affiliation with the Leaky Cauldron without taking any Ministry of Magic assessments.
In her mind, there seems to be no other way to get this special "benefits" besides marriage.
This is a long-standing unspoken rule in the magic world, and it is also part of the capital for the consolidation and marriage of various magic families. Although Hannah is a bit naive, she also knows that this kind of request cannot be made casually.
Elena glanced at the depressed little Tie Niu, subconsciously licked the corner of her mouth and said softly.
"Actually, it's not possible, as long as you——"
"Hey, Elena, kids, stop being dazed, this way!"
Grindelwald shouted loudly in the noisy crowd and waved to them.
"There isn't much time left. Let's go back to Hogwarts after finishing watching poor Quirinus. Come here quickly!"
