The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 3: Heal all suffering people
Salvatore's seemingly rational behaviors were basically because he "adopted the opinions of senior Vatore."
As for the questions that Senior Sister Valtore is too lazy to care about, and the questions that Salvatore stubbornly refuses to listen to, they generally appear to be very hesitant and immature... In the end, most of them are because of "not listening to the old man's words" Regret for any reason.
It is precisely because of this that Salvatore has been in a state of "save me Dora Sal" all year round in Noah.
He produced many messy by-products with no known use, which were placed in Salvatore's shop.
A number of products with "weird functions" even made Annan think they were good. Even things you can’t even buy in other people’s stores.
So Annan bought a batch and treated it as taking care of his business.
Some of these things are very useful.
For example, take a mirror: if you shine it with light for a period of time, it can then cross the obstacle and reflect gems up to a hundred meters away.
This mirror is actually a by-product of Salvatore's desire to create a "mirror that can stabilize video calls." He tried to solidify that ritual into the mirror, but failed.
And Annan bought it and planned to let Demetrius take it to the Poison Fern Pillar in the Province of St. Alexei to find a gemstone vein that Annan had seen in his nightmare.
Salvatore also created a strange petrifying poison - real petrification. It can turn the entrails of animals that are taken into stone and cannot turn them back.
Annan plans to try to see if it can be used as a residue-free pesticide after diluting it...
This is a mixture he tried to cure an old lady's kidney stones but failed to develop. Also in the same batch is a "fossil-to-mud mixture" that can easily melt stones into highly viscous mud - which may be used for infrastructure construction.
There is also a man who used to be an asbestos worker.
Asbestos is also one of the commonly used transformation materials. Many fireproof materials require the use of asbestos for conversion, and the consumption is not small - but in order to facilitate portability and use, asbestos will be made into asbestos cloth tapes and processed into the size of a roll of toilet paper.
Perhaps because of the versatility of magic, people in this era did not know that asbestos is a strong carcinogen. However, asbestos workers' "stone lung disease" has been discovered. As long as they are exposed to asbestos, they may inhale asbestos fibers that are invisible to the naked eye. These fibers are deposited in the lungs, which will cause fibrosis of the lung tissue.
On Earth, it is considered a terminal disease—asbestos-related diseases are difficult to cure.
In this world, it is another kind of terminal disease: it can be cured in theory, but no one who suffers from it can afford the money to treat it.
It is a disease involving "a large amount of foreign matter in the body" and involving "organic lesions of internal organs." And it does not contain curses or viruses... This makes the magic of "regeneration" completely ineffective against it.
You must use the "Purification" system of divine magic to clear the foreign matter - which means you need to ask Mr. Yao's bishop to treat it.
And after the foreign matter is removed, a bishop who can treat internal organ injuries must be restored, otherwise he will die from massive internal bleeding.
The two bishops are treating each other across the country, and ordinary people obviously cannot enjoy this kind of treatment.
The same goes for silicosis, thrombosis, tumors and stone disease - all serious diseases in this world. His main serious problem is that he needs joint treatment from two bishops of the "gold and silver group"...
But it is almost impossible for priests from the Theocracy to travel to other countries. Then it is only possible to ask the priests of Silver Sirens, who are extremely rare in the Theocracy, to assist in the treatment.
Of course it will cost more.
For Noah, who has banned civilian subways, this disease is a terminal illness. Because Sir Silver's magic cannot cure "proliferative" or "foreign body" diseases.
But Salvatore does not believe in evil.
Relying on his experience in treating the old lady, he just spent two weeks making a compound mixture that could treat "stone lung disease". Its treatment principle is to inject transformation magic into the body to convert fibrotic lungs and asbestos into blood clots. Then use a special mixture to treat pulmonary embolism.
But this compound mixture involves magical attachment, and the cost alone is as high as three gold coins, not counting labor. Symptomatic treatment drugs also need to be specially prepared... In the end, the person was saved, but Salvatore fell ill.
In order to treat this man, Salvatore produced a large number of semi-finished medicines that can locate and mark foreign objects in the body. He plans to reprocess this batch of medicine and transform it into a "gunshot wound treatment medicine" that can immediately remove bullets from the body.
"Master Benjamin will be proud of you."
Annan said this about him.
But Salvatore disagreed.
"We are just researchers. What is research not research?"
Salvatore shrugged: "If you ask them to study the Philosopher's Stone, wouldn't it be impossible to make it? In that case, why not make something that can actually solve the needs?
"Of course, it may be limited by the direction of research, and it may not be convenient for them to do it. Other wizards may need to make money from their own research to supplement their own funds... But I don't need it, I am very talented Money.
"Since I am not short of money now, and there is no urgent research topic. Then I think I can also use the money to help those in need - what is research not research?
"Now that I have researched it, people in the future can do less research. If they inherit my research notes, they can avoid many detours. I think all the pain in this world will be cured sooner or later, but Limited to today’s technical insufficiency.
"Then I am not wasting it, but consuming it in advance...I am using my money to pay for future research."
As he said this, he gave Annan a few wads of bills in his backhand: "And you see, I am still very rich."
There is only one denomination of paper money in this world, which is equivalent to a "Noah gold coin". This banknote is equivalent to the purchasing power of a Noah's gold coin - because the gold content of gold coins in different countries is different, but the specifications of silver coins are exactly the same, so they still have to be exchanged for silver coins when using them.
As soon as Annan felt the thickness of the banknotes, he knew that the pile contained one hundred banknotes.
And Salvatore handed Annan six stacks.
...Although Pope Hui Yao IV also had a deal with Grand Duke Annan and invested 10 million in five years for Lin Dong, Lin Dong would not be short of money in the next few years. But of these 10 million, 50% will be used to pay debts with goods.
In other words, Huiyao IV wanted him to give money to Annan, and Annan would distribute the money to the people in the name of work, and then let the people buy the goods from Noah and delivered to the Archduke of Winter. This way can increase the living standards of the people in Winter - and at the same time clear some inventory. ~IndoMTL.com~ After all, storage also costs money.
In other words, only one million gold coins actually flow in every year, and this value is six or seven times the annual tax revenue of the Principality of Winter.
A well-bred war horse in Noah only cost about twenty gold coins. In the dead of winter, this purchasing power is even stronger - in a medium-sized city, the tax amount for a whole year may not reach 600 pounds.
"This money is not for the Principality of Winter."
Salvatore asked patiently: "This is for you alone.
"I know that with your personality, you will definitely be embarrassed to spend money from the treasury for personal expenses. You may also be frugal... But you are growing in health now, and you are still a prince - frugal. Use outrageous words.
"If there is something you want to eat, just buy it directly. During the holidays, you can also buy gifts for Her Royal Highness Maria. Because this is not the principality's money, but your money... No need Worry, I am very rich. I am not short of money either."
I know this.
Your guess is correct. It is true that I will not use the national treasury for personal expenses, but... why did you give me pocket money?
What is your relationship with me?
Have I done anything that warrants payment?
Do I look like I’m short of money?
——You are relatively short of money, right? !
Annan held a few thick wads of banknotes and fell silent.
