Chapter 18: The principles of doctor
"I'm sorry, I don't want to accept any invitation from
any organization for the time being. If this is what Mr. Emperor wants to talk
about, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Reinette stood up and prepared to
leave.
The emperor took the cigar out of his mouth and tapped it on
the ashtray: "Don't leave in a hurry. Listen to the conditions
first."
Reinette thought about it and realized that the other party
didn't threaten her in any way, and this was the other party's territory, so it
would be bad to offend the other party and he sat back.
"The treatment is very simple. Let's talk about the
salary first. The minimum monthly salary is 50,000 LMD. I will calculate
commissions for each order, as well as additional bonuses. If you encounter a
customer with a bad attitude during the delivery process and you hit him or her
at will, I will compensate you afterwards."
Reinette nodded with a smile: "It's a really generous
treatment, but I still don't have any intention of staying."
The emperor put the cigar back into his mouth. To be honest, Reinette
couldn't understand how the emperor smoked. Theoretically speaking, the
structure of the bird's beak was not capable of smoking.
"I know that money has no appeal to you. The only things
you need money for are probably a few sets of clothes and fuel for your car.
Eating is probably just a hobby for you, even if you have a werewolf to
feed."
"You even know about Red?"
Even if the emperor was talking about raising a Lupos, Reinette
would not interrupt at this time.
But, after Red's exploration, Red is now able to control the
aura that scares Lupos very well. From the outside, Red is just an ordinary Lupos.
In this regard, Lapland's statement, based on his personal
experience as a test subject, is highly credible.
"Will this be a difficult thing?" The emperor
replied casually, saying that this matter was not complicated.
"I won't interrupt your medical practice, or that's what
I want you to join."
"ha?"
The emperor looked at Reinette's puzzled expression and
continued, "It's difficult to carry out medical activities in various
places, right?"
"...What's the meaning?"
"You should understand this better than I do. What do you
think? It's difficult to carry out medical activities in various places,
right?"
Reinette fell silent. Is it difficult? It can only be said
that it is not just a common difficulty. It is better to say that Reinette is
often picked on during the medical treatment process.
The situation like the last time she went to Siracusa was
already considered good. Most of the time, Reinette tried to go through the
official channels, and then encountered various obstacles in the official
channels, or was asked to go through various procedures, and then was charged a
huge handling fee for each procedure, or was simply kicked out.
Then they repeated the previous operation, driving directly to
the slums and conducting medical activities secretly.
Then we were repeatedly picked on, not only by official
personnel, which almost resulted in our car being seized, but the venue that we
had set up with great difficulty was also almost torn down.
Moreover, Reinette cannot let them leave like this after
treating them. She has to send them to a safe place secretly. Otherwise, they
may be kidnapped by officials hiding nearby .
Even Reinette had to be distracted and guard against
persecution from some people with ulterior motives.
For example, there were slum gangs who wanted to kidnap her,
there were also medical disputes caused by patients, and officials forcibly
detained her for non-existent crimes.
Looking back now, Reinette said that it is really admirable
that she can still persist in doing this.
"It's not easy, right?" The emperor's voice
interrupted Reinette's thoughts.
"It's not easy at all. It can even be said to be full of
difficulties and dangers."
"This is the dilemma faced by most medical practitioners.
This land, as always, loves to eat people, especially those with good
intentions. This is especially true for medical practitioners."
"He was persecuted, stopped and even picked on by
official organizations, and was even falsely accused of being infected and
thrown into prison for providing medical treatment to people in the
slums." The emperor's tone even seemed to be mocking.
"Yes, it's a speechless world, but this doesn't seem to
be the topic we are discussing."
"Really? Well, then my other reward is that I will use
all my resources to help you hold your medical activities in any city you want
to go to."
"Hmm?" Reinette's thoughts paused for a moment.
"You can start your medical activities wherever you want.
It doesn't matter if you want to go to the gate of the imperial palace in the
capital of Ursus and publicly treat the infected."
"Then the military police should be waiting outside my
tent for someone to get out."
The emperor paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly,
"Well, since I have promised you that this will not happen, the infected
people who receive your treatment will not be harmed before you leave, not to
mention the military police, not even the emperor's guards."
"Of course, I don't think you would do such a troublesome
thing, unless you have a brain, uh, for you it should be your brain. Of course,
if you really do such a thing, my promise is still here."
"Ah, that's a pretty reliable promise, Mr. Emperor, but
it's not like I can't do this."
The emperor did not deny it and nodded: "As long as you
reveal your identity as the Goddeses of the Sea and call your little guys from
the sea up, you can force the whole world to heal you, but you didn't do
that."
(T/n: bruh.. Really? You want some Cthulhu kinda follower walk to
land?!)
The emperor said as he scanned Reinette's body and said,
"It's strange to say, the smell on you is completely different from the
ones I've seen before. The smell of the ocean is much stronger than
theirs."
Reinette didn't explain it, because even if she did, it
wouldn't be clear enough, unless the existence of the system was exposed, which
would require a lot of explanations. Anyway, they had already figured out a set
of explanations that were suitable for them.
"These are really generous terms and the remuneration. If
it were any other medical practice, you would have agreed immediately,
right?" Reinette smiled and nodded. These were very generous terms. Anyone
would have agreed halfway through hearing them, right?
"But as the saying goes, there is no reward without
merit. Since Mr. Emperor said that it is not because of my other identity, but
simply because of my identity as a doctor, I don't think I deserve such good
treatment."
"Not worthy? You seem to have misjudged your influence a
little bit."
Three question marks made of water appeared above Reinette's
head. Influence? What influence does she have?
The emperor glanced at the three water question marks above Reinette's
head that looked like they were acting cute, lowered his head, took out two
photos from his desk, and threw them at Reinette.
The emperor used his power just right, and the two photos
stopped as soon as they slid in front of Reinette.
Reinette looked down at the photos, which showed a blue bird
painted on his carriage, standing on a blue cross holding a branch, and the
oath he wrote in the carriage.
"Wasn't there a picture and a vow on my carriage before?
What's the use of this?"
"You really don't pay any attention to it. From a certain
perspective, Tiamat is no longer your exclusive code name. In other words, this
name has become a kind of medical organization."
"???" The three question marks above Reinette's head grew
bigger.
"Practicing medicine is a special profession, a
respectable but also a very sad one. The same is true for people who hold this
profession. They deserve respect, but unfortunately, few doctors can retire
completely from the medical field."
"People who give up generous treatment, give up safe
medical environment, voluntarily enter the wilderness, and who cannot normally
access good medical care, will face..." The emperor paused slightly when
he said this, and Reinette's voice happened to sound at this moment.
"There are looters, wild beasts, natural disasters in the
wilderness, and mercenaries who want to take over the medical skills of
doctors. Even if they enter the city, they may face the malice of patients and
persecution from the government."
The emperor took the cigar from his mouth, flicked the ash,
and put it out.
"That's right. I have also sponsored several doctors, but
they all had some problems later and chose to give up practicing
medicine."
"I see. However, isn't the sponsorship a bit too large
this time? It's directly against the country. If, as Mr. Emperor said, it
doesn't involve my other identity, I don't think I'm worth such an
expense."
The emperor shook his hand: "No need to be so humble, you
have done more than you think."
The emperor pointed at the two photos in front of Reinette and
said, "Look at these two. You have done too many things."
???
The three question marks that had been floating above Reinette's
head since the beginning were now almost reaching the ceiling.
"Let me interrupt you for now. I didn't make these two
things on purpose. I just made them out of interest. In my opinion, the emblem
is just a symbol of identity, and this oath... is just a kind of remembrance.
What meaning do these two things have?"
"To a rich person, a useless ten dollars may be a
life-saving meal to a poor person. It's the same here. Every doctor is a doctor
on his own, but you appeared, or this emblem appeared."
"Some kind of star effect?"
"Almost. At first, they were just two doctors who
happened to be in the area where you were active. They began to imitate you,
but unexpectedly found that your identity was surprisingly useful. At least the
mercenary group did not speak ill of them in the beginning."
At this point, Reinette, who had been baptized by the big data
of her previous life, understood what it meant, and the three question marks
above her head turned into three glowing light bulbs.
It's simple, the idol effect. An important part of her rumor
is that a Liberi with blue ear feathers drives a car with a painting of a blue
bird standing on a cross.
Reinette's efforts have laid a certain foundation of trust for
Tiamat's identity and also given credibility to the rumor.
It was also because of this that the two medical practitioners
who initially borrowed her coat of arms enjoyed a different level of friendly
treatment than before.
The characteristics of the two doctors and their subsequent
actions added more fuel to the identity of Tiamat and the corresponding rumors,
and they were all discussed together.
It even spread to other medical practitioners who were
familiar with her.
Reinette opened the system and looked at the code column. The
fonts that read "Tiamat" were shining with golden light.
When the code name Tiamat was first obtained, the font used to
write these two words was just the most common black font, but now, the font
has turned gold and is full of special effects.
[Codename: Tiamat]
[Deeds: After the Messenger and courier activity, the doctor
stayed in various cities, providing mobile medical services for 15 days,
providing treatment for the poor, infected people and mercenaries who could not
go to regular hospitals. The word was spread by wanderers, mercenaries and
doctors, and the doctor's courier and doctor identities were each given a word
to form a code name - messenger Doctor.]
Although the introduction in the system has not changed, and
the deeds seem to have only been sung by practitioners, the golden glow of the
font written on the title has already depicted the preciousness and value of
the title.
"It's really amazing."
The emperor chuckled twice, looked at Reinette who had
suddenly realized the truth, and reached out to hook a photo on the table:
"... Great honor of the People, Reinette, you may not know how many
doctors now also regard these words as an oath to be followed in their
lives."
"It's the Liberian doctors who paint one of its ear
feathers blue. The doctors who are not liberi wear blue feathers in its hair.
They all wear the emblems in various ways."
Reinette took a deep breath. She had never thought that the
code name she choose for fun now represented so many things. "Thank you,
Mr. Emperor, for clearing up my confusion. I never realized that I have done so
much."
"After all, these things happen outside your field of
vision, so it's normal that you don't know about them."
The emperor waved towards the door, but without making any
sound, yith pushed the door open and handed the folder in his hand to Reinette.
Reinette opened the folder and found, as expected, a contract.
"How about it? Do you want to sign it?"
Reinette reached out and picked up the pen that was placed on
the table when the folder was handed to her.
After a while, Reinette closed the folder with a snap and
handed it to Yith who was standing beside her.
"Good, Yith will take Miss Reinette to get examination,
just go to your place."
Reinette stood up with a smile and followed Yith. Just as she
was about to go out, she turned her head and asked.
"Mr. Emperor know my other identity before, offered such
generous conditions to protect me. But now Mr. Emperor should understand that I
don't actually need this contract, so why?"
"Because there aren't many people as interesting as you.
I've seen many people with ideals, and even more people with naive
dreams."
"I don't think I'm the only 'the bringer of Principles of medic
on terra."
The emperor couldn't deny laughing: "Of course, you are
not the only "doctor principle", but they all died in many ways, so
when I learned about your other identity just now, I was happy."
"Because there will be more interesting people on terra?"
"No, no, no, there is now an interesting doctor on this terra."
