In the early morning, the bright sunshine poured into the bedroom. Lawrence opened his eyes in the sunshine. Even after sleeping all night, he still felt that his muscles were sore and wanted to lie down for a while.
Thinking back to yesterday as the first day in this world, school, operating room, rescuing people, getting a windfall, buying a gun, acquiring marksmanship with very practical effects... everything seemed like a dream. However, no matter how slight it was,
The sore wrists and shoulders and the pistol on the bedside table all showed that this was not a dream.
Sighing slightly, Lawrence got up from the bed, took off the washbasin from the washstand, and went out to the bathroom outside to wash up. When he finished handling these things and went downstairs to eat, a postman brought him a
letter.
"Thank you!" Lawrence took the letter and continued to eat his breakfast. It wasn't until he drank the last sip of tea that he returned to his room and opened the envelope.
This letter was sent by Baron Gonzalez. In the letter, the baron told Lawrence that all preparations were progressing steadily. If there were no accidents, the expedition team would enter the site in ten days and start investigating the underground area north of Eagle Fort.
The ruins were inspected. At the end of the letter, a location was attached as the place where the inspection team would gather ten days later.
"That means I still have ten days to prepare." Lawrence said to himself after reading the letter. "I remember that I should have a portable medical kit after I enrolled in school, which is just what I need."
Thinking of this, he walked to the cabinet and opened the door. He bent down and pushed aside a few pieces of clothing and took out a black box from the bottom of the cabinet that was wrapped in black leather and had eight corners reinforced with brass sheets.
After opening the box, Lawrence found that inside the box were small compartments separated by thin wooden boards, and the compartments contained glass bottles of various sizes.
"Let me see -" He looked at the bottles and cans in the box with curious eyes. In his memory, he would use this box once every two weeks on average, mainly for people who came to the tavern for help.
Provides charitable medical services. Because of this approach, Lawrence, the surrounding residents, has a good impression.
But after carefully examining these potions and comparing them with the medical knowledge in his memory, Lawrence felt that at least half of these things should be replaced to suit his liking.
"Laxatives, the internally priced holy salt obtained from the Church of Knowledge, and medical equipment such as lancets and forceps must be kept." He murmured while inspecting.
"But it's better to throw away blue pills like these that claim to be able to treat cholera, liver disease, influenza, and rheumatism. Magic exists in this world, and extraordinary people can indeed use mercury as a raw material to make potions with various magical effects.
.However, simply adding mercury to the medicine will only cause mercury poisoning to the user——"
After cleaning for a long time, this box was mostly empty. After deciding what to keep, Lawrence found that he needed to spend a lot of time today on refilling this box."
"In addition to preparing the necessary medicines and tools as an expedition doctor, I think I may need to further strengthen myself." Lawrence thought seriously after closing the lid of the box.
"My previous attack was probably related to this expedition. However, after accidentally saving Baron Gonzalez, I still successfully joined the expedition. The mastermind behind the scenes is likely to attack me again because of this. So I need to
Just further improve your own strength."
"So today I will first purchase the medicines needed to be the expedition doctor. At the same time, I will go to the Temple of the Church of Knowledge to ask Priest Carter to recommend a place where I can practice fighting."
Priest Carter was a friend that Lawrence's adoptive father met when he was training at the New World Church's Great Salt Lake Temple headquarters. After Lawrence came to this city four years ago, his adoptive father wrote a letter specifically asking Priest Carter to take care of him.
Because of the letter of introduction, Lawrence has always maintained contact with the local Knowledge Church. For example, in his free time, he would take time to volunteer at the charity school affiliated with the Knowledge Church, and at the same time increase his reputation in the Knowledge Church. This is why he
The reason why you can get part of the holy salt at the internal price.
After going downstairs and having a breakfast of sandwiches and tea, Lawrence paid Aunt Susan a 5-cent coin to boil all his gauze and bandages in boiling water for half an hour and dry them in the sun.
After leaving the tavern, we went straight to the Church of Knowledge, St. Gutenberg's Cathedral in Eagle Castle.
This church is located next to the Municipal Library. It is a building that looks very similar to the Bauhaus style of the earth. This is because according to the oracle of the God of Knowledge, only knowledge is the most precious, and everything else is
It should be simple. Therefore, compared with the Church of the Lord of the Morning or the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, the church buildings of the Church of Knowledge tend to be much simpler.
The entire building is a simple gray-white color, and the front elevation is a regular rectangle. A circular dial is inlaid in the middle of the high elevation of the front facade, with two rows of brown transparent glass windows on both sides.
Lawrence walked into the church with a group of people preparing to pray, but instead of walking directly along the corridor into the main hall like the others, he turned left into a corridor.
After turning a few turns along the corridor, he stepped on the sunlight shining on the ground through the glass window on one side and came to the door of a side hall. At this time, a man wearing a black robe, wearing a quill pen and a parchment saint on his chest
The clergyman with the emblem and pendant blocked him.
"So it's you, Brother Lawrence." After seeing Lawrence's face clearly under the brim of his hat, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old trainee priest greeted him happily, "Are you also here to see my teacher today?"
"Good morning, Peter, I came to see Priest Carter today to have something to do." Lawrence also recognized the identity of the trainee priest in front of him. A few years ago, Lawrence met this child named Peter at the charity school affiliated with the church. After discovering
He was very smart and recommended it to Priest Carter.
Unexpectedly, after the inspection, Priest Carter discovered that Peter had the talent to be a clergyman, so he recruited Peter, who was only ten years old at the time, into the church. This changed the fate of Peter, who had been an orphan before. This is why he has a good relationship with Lawrence.
reasons.
"By the way, why are you here guarding the door today? I remember that according to your schedule, you should go to the charity school to give lectures today." As someone who often visits here, Lawrence was very concerned about the people in St. Gutenberg's Cathedral.
The schedule of acquaintances is still very clear.
"Because I changed classes with someone the day before yesterday." Peter said, "I'm going to call the teacher over now."
After saying that, he opened the door behind him and walked into the side hall. A few minutes later, a priest with gray-white hair as strong as a bear walked out. He was also wearing a simple black robe, but with a smock on his shoulders as a trainee priest.
Peter just has an extra silver pattern.
"Ha, my little Lawrence." He strode over and patted Lawrence on the shoulder. "You haven't been exercising much lately."
As he spoke, he looked up at Lawrence's face, and immediately saw the bandage exposed under the brim of his hat: "How did you end up like this?"
"It's a long story, but to put it simply -" In the next five or six minutes, Lawrence seriously talked about the incident of his attack and his subsequent analysis.
"——So I would like to ask you to recommend a place where I can practice fighting." After finishing the story, Lawrence said the reason for his visit today.
