Chapter 940 – 940. Estate Redevelopment (2)
“Next, I plan to build a new hospital.”
“It’s a hospital…”
After hearing Eleanor’s story, Eunhyeon guessed what Eleanor was thinking.
There is no hospital system on the Arkena continent.
In fact, there was a facility called a hospital in the Duchy of Armitas, but what was done there was limited to simple prescriptions of medicine for diseases or injuries, and the main treatment was treatment that mainly relied on the divine power of the priests employed at the hospital.
Eleanor’s plan must be different.
“Does this mean you want to create and nurture surgeons?”
“Surgeon?”
Doran and Cecilia did not understand what was being said.
This was difficult to understand for those who were not familiar with Earth’s civilization.
“Yes. That’s right.”
Eleanor smiled and nodded at him.
It was one of the most impressive parts of the civilization she saw in Eunhyeon’s dream.
A method of treating people based on the person’s skills and knowledge, not the priest’s divine power.
For Eleanor, the existence of this doctor was one of the shocking results of civilization.
“… “It won’t be easy.”
“Yes. But it’s meaningful. Because divine power is not omnipotent.”
Divine power is not omnipotent.
Although it was a special miracle that healed people’s wounds and eliminated diseases, it had clear drawbacks and limitations.
Only priests with divine power can use it, and the scope and frequency of its miracle use is too narrow and small.
On the other hand, if the discipline of medicine develops, even ordinary people who cannot use divine power will have the ability to heal people.
Of course, the process of acquiring medical knowledge and experience and becoming a doctor is very difficult and difficult.
Still, it was definitely meaningful.
“Because that time is getting closer.”
The necromancers, as well as the increasingly infested plagues of the West, are spreading across the continent.
Most of the priests who can handle divine power in that battlefield have to go to the front lines.
Even after the war ends, will the number of priests, which is rapidly decreasing, be able to handle the future?
Eleanor thought no.
“You don’t think that creating one doctor will be solved by simply creating a hospital, do you?”
“Sure. “I didn’t plan to show any results right away.”
To ordinary people who wish to become doctors, simply teaching medical knowledge does not create doctors.
Even if a talented person is created who can learn all of that knowledge and utilize it perfectly, a hospital cannot function properly unless it is provided with various supports, such as drugs and medical devices for doctors to use.
“That’s why I’m telling you this because I want to ask for your help in this area as well.”
Eleanor said, looking at Cecilia and Doran.
“Uh, you mean us?”
“You mean us?”
Cecilia and Doran tilted their heads and waited for Eleanor to speak.
“Yes. “I would like to ask you two to help develop this field of medicine and medical devices.”
“Hmm…”
“Umm…”
The two were worried after hearing Eleanor’s story.
Cecilia is clearly a wizard and scholar who specializes in medicine and alchemy.
It was Eleanor’s decision that it was appropriate for her to take charge of the development of her pharmaceutical field.
Actually, Cecilia’s reaction wasn’t that negative.
On the other hand, Doran expressed his disapproval.
“Hmm, I think it will be a bit difficult for me and the dwarves.”
“… “Why?”
“If you listen to the lord’s explanation, these medical devices are very precise and demanding equipment. “Perhaps even more so than the equipment or golems designed by the master.”
Creating the golem designed by Eun-hyeon was also a task that required a lot of effort and effort, as the hundreds or thousands of parts smaller than a finger had to be placed in the exact position without a single error.
“There must be some eccentric craftsmen who like that kind of thing, but most of them are rugged blacksmiths who only know how to hit a hammer. “I don’t know if there will be people who will actually do it.”
“… Is it that much?”
“If I were to ask you to make weapons or armor, you would probably face difficulties in drawing up the internal design and manufacturing them.”
If the strength and necessary functions required for weapons or armor were required, it would be possible to design and manufacture them accordingly, but medical devices were a completely different problem.
“It would be possible to provide the necessary assistance if the field manager participated in the production of this medical equipment and took charge of the design and management…”
Eunhyun is very busy right now.
Not only does he spend a lot of time focusing on personal training, but at Eleanoa’s request, he also lends a hand in the construction side of redeveloping the inside of the territory.
“I’ll take charge. Then.”
Inside the door that opened automatically in response to the sensor, a faint voice entered and broke into the conversation.
“Arcis?”
“Is your technical advisor here?”
A small and delicate doll girl with a grave expression appeared.
Archis, who was resurrected after receiving a new power source, the heart, by Eunhyeon’s hand, is now taking on the position of technical advisor at the Dwarven Blacksmith Laboratory, utilizing his ability to make weapons and dolls.
Arcis calmly expressed his intention to participate in Eleanoa’s plan.
“Hmm, technical advisor. Are you okay? “Isn’t your current job overwhelming?”
“Doesn’t care. “This much.”
In fact, Archis is currently serving as a technical advisor for various weapons within the blacksmith shop.
This is because he possessed a variety of skills and knowledge, as he was a doll that boasted overwhelming firepower by equipping dolls with various weapons even on Earth.
“My database contains blueprints for medical devices as well as various medical knowledge. “It will probably be helpful in nurturing doctors.”
“If you’ll do that, we’d really appreciate it…”
Eunhyeon asked Archis.
“Of course you’re not just going to help, right?”
“Of course.”
Arcis also answered right away as if he was asking something obvious.
“Give me more budget.”
“Budget?”
“Huh. Budget. “To be exact, my new dolls that I will produce in the future and the weapons they will wear.”
This meant the production and research costs for it.
Eunhyeon looked at Eleanor.
It was Eun-hyeon who brought in the dwarves to build this laboratory and lead them, but it was Eleanor who owned the laboratory and provided the dwarves with wages.
Eleanor nodded happily.
I was very grateful and glad that the doll girl was willing to participate in my plan.
“Sure. “Can we double your budget?”
Eleanor’s face, which had been smiling brightly, froze.
“… Yes?”
Arcis calmly expressed the amount he wanted with his fingers.
“Five times.”
“… Yes?”
Same question as before.
Arcis said.
“I want five times as much.”
After hearing Arcis’ exact intention once again, Eleanoa’s smiling face darkened.
“That… “There are too many.”
Even including the cost of the new project, the budget was too large.
“Prepare for war. Are you doing it?”
“… Yes.”
It was a very sensitive story.
Preparations for war against demonic beasts, including the undead, were getting closer and closer.
“It’s not a bad story for you either. “Because we are producing troops and weapons to be used at that time.”
“Yes, but…”
It’s not that I didn’t want to increase the budget, but it was a problem that couldn’t be increased.
In preparation for that time, Eleanor, as a lord, was also managing her family’s assets and budget tightly.
In reality, it was too burdensome for her to pay that much of a budget.
“Eleanor. “Is it okay to go up to three times?”
“Yes. To that extent… “I think it’ll be okay.”
In fact, it was a very thin line, but it was not impossible.
“Then I will fill in the missing parts.”
“Yes? But you too…”
“Are you okay. Not only because of the business within the territory, but also because of the profits left over from trading with the Magic Tower. “If anything, you can ask the Queen for a favor.”
It would be a story that would upset Queen Yuria if she heard it, but she would not be able to refuse her Eunhyeon’s request.
Obtaining the rights to the dolls and weapons being researched and produced could have been a very profitable proposition.
“It feels strange that you think of our queen that way.”
Of course, it was a story that made Cecilia, a noblewoman of this country, have complicated thoughts.
“… All right. Thank you. You.”
Eleanor’s frozen expression softened, revealing her relief.
“Then I’ll end the story here.”
“Yes. “Then, I will have to prepare in many ways for the project to establish the hospital and train doctors.”
“Well, I think we need to hold a meeting to recruit the craftsmen needed for redevelopment construction and manufacturing medical equipment.”
When the meeting ended, people in the lab began to stand up one by one.
“Elenoa.”
“Yes?”
“Can you wait outside for a moment? “I have something to talk about with Arcis.”
“Hmm. Yes. All right.”
“Eleanor didn’t have any big questions.”
I nodded slightly and followed Doran and Cecilia out of the lab, leaving only Eunhyeon and Archis left inside.
“Arcis.”
“Why.”
“You deliberately increased the budget by five times, right?”
“However?”
Arcis proudly admitted the truth.
Even in Eunhyeon’s opinion, the amount her friend asked was too large.
She was sure that there was some hidden intention in making the request by inflating the amount without any reason.
The reason he stayed alone with Arcis instead of following his wife outside was to ask why.
“I thought if I did this, you would say you would pay me instead.”
“… What?”
Archis had an accurate understanding of Eunhyeon’s actions and reactions.
“… Why?”
What was the purpose of the doll friend?
Eunhyeon asked cautiously.
Eventually, the doll girl opened her mouth.
“A few days ago. The women called your wives came to see me as a group? Including that woman who left earlier.”
“… However?”
“And do you know what you asked me to make?”
“What are you talking about… Ah.”
Eunhyeon couldn’t understand Arcis’ story at all, but there was a time that suddenly flashed through her mind.
It was a time when her wives, as a group, made adult toys modeled after their own bodies and used them on themselves, tormenting her a lot.
At that time, she was astonished as to where she had made such a thing, but had no time to check the source.
“… “Was it you?”
She knows a lot about Earth’s civilization other than herself, and if she were to be able to reproduce things there, wouldn’t Arcis be a perfect fit?
Archis, who always maintained a calm expression, soon frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction.
“Hey, do you think they made it because they wanted to make it me? I had no choice but to make it. But I couldn’t just ignore it.”
In other words, it was a simple venting of anger.
It was because the resources, effort, and time that were used to create something like that were such a waste if they didn’t get more money.
He felt like his reputation as a puppeteer who developed and produced weapons and dolls had been tarnished.
“So I thought I should get more money and paid five times more. Are you dissatisfied?”
Eunhyun shook her head, her face a mixture of various and complex emotions.
“… No. Doesn’t exist. You… “It was really hard.”
“If you ask me to make something like that one more time… You really have to be prepared. “What will I do?”
The expression on the face of the doll girl, who was suppressing emotions such as contempt, disgust, or irritation, was so lively that it could be said to be human.
It also meant that Archis was very upset.
“… “I’ll keep that in mind.”
Eunhyeon nodded her head and made a firm determination.
And suddenly something curious occurred to her, so she asked Archis.
“Arcis.”
“Why. Also.”
“Who was the wife who asked me to make that first?”
“Erin.”
“Okay. Okay. Thanks.”
With those words, Eunhyun left the lab.
Eleanor, who was waiting in front of her door, immediately came next to Eunhyeon and walked down the hallway side by side.
“Did you finish the story well?”
“Huh.”
“What did you talk about?”
“… “I need to scold Erin.”
“Oh my goodness.”
Eleanor, who heard Eunhyeon’s words, stopped in her tracks and looked slightly surprised.
Eventually, she realized what she and Arkis had been talking about inside the lab, and she laughed as if it was amusing.
“Okay.”
For some reason, I was looking forward to going home.
“What are you expecting? Looking at that expression, I can’t do it. Eleanor. “Start with you.”
“Yes. Great.”
Seeing her favorite wife’s reaction to her willing consent, Eunhyeon couldn’t help but sigh a little.
