Chapter 357 Encounter on a snowy night
Angel spent most of the night browsing, and finally saw the clue of "a snake wrapped around a scepter" in a book called "The Doctor's Oath". Please search (￥) for the most complete view! This novel, which is the fastest updated, depicts several scenes of ancient doctors rescuing people. Perhaps in order to deify the status of doctors, they all carry a scepter surrounded by snakes when treating patients, and their whole bodies are shining with light.
Its most magical picture is a four-panel comic strip that tells an event that happened in ancient times: a man holding a snake staff had a glowing cloud in front of him. Under the reminder of "Guangyun", the man saved the disease that was spreading throughout the city.
If the author hadn't deliberately "deified" him, Angel could only think of wizards with such extraordinary power. And that "light cloud" may be some kind of large-scale healing technique.
Turning to the end, another picture with a "snake wrapped around a scepter" appears.
However, this picture does not show a doctor holding a snake staff, but in a square, the "snake around the staff" has become a statue. Countless doctors in white robes clenched their fists and raised their chests, lowering their heads towards the statue.
The whole picture looks full of solemnity and sacredness.
Below it is written the name of the picture: Oath of Office Picture.
All doctors take an oath when they join the profession. This oath includes "dedication to patients, demanding self, and respect for medicine." This picture is an oath of office picture.
After flipping through this book, Angel became even more confused.
In the previous picture, the "snake wrapped around the scepter" is a tool in the doctor's hand. In the end, it turned into the doctor's belief when taking the oath. This is very strange.
Angel thought for a while, maybe those pictures at the beginning actually refer to a certain wizard who specializes in healing. His deeds of saving people were praised by people, so the previous pictures came into being. Later, the wizard left, and his deeds were slowly praised. Under this long-term praise, he became more and more deified. In the end, even his snake staff became the object of the oath of office.
This is the complete logic that Angel can think of.
But...what does this have to do with Axl? What does this have to do with Pocrates? !
After searching for a long time, the "snake wrapped around the scepter" found is just an ancient legend? ! There is no mention of the snake's name at all, and no explanation of what it means. There is no description of the "Pocrates" thing that Angel wanted to know most.
Angel, who felt that he had done nothing for his work, reluctantly restored the secret library and left silently.
He returned along the original path and left the Xintu Museum quietly. When Angel appeared in the square again, he unexpectedly discovered that the sky was filled with white frost.
--Snowing? Only later did Angel realize that the falling white frost was actually snowflakes.
He has lived in a temperate coastal area since he was a child, and when he came to the wizarding world, he was also in a mirror world with warm seasons. Angel had seen the frozen land in the Pamiji Plateau, but he rarely saw snowflakes. He only remembered seeing heavy snowflakes when he went to the capital of the Golden Bird Empire when he was very young. Now that I suddenly reunited with Piaoxue, my originally depressed mood suddenly became much better for some reason.
In the drifting snow, Angel felt inexplicably quiet and walked towards where he came from step by step.
Every season has its own symbolic signs. Snow is the "gift of winter" that Angel considers in his heart. The windbreaker Angel wore had the effect of keeping the cold and heat at bay, so he basically didn't feel the winter feeling. When he saw the fluttering snowflakes, he was shocked that winter was really coming.
Perhaps it was Xueluo's voice that was too soft, which stirred up the long-awaited sensibility in Angel's heart.
He thought of his relatives far away, of Leon, and of Jon.
Also in the Tundra Moon, he left the town of Gru and followed Moro to the mysterious world. Time flies, it's two years.
Two years is not a long time in a wizard's life. But for Angel, it still passed too fast. He had not grown up enough to shelter the family, nor had he found a way to cure Jon.
Now, he doesn't even know where he is.
Although his mind has been working on self-construction and he will be able to go back soon, but God knows how long this "soon" will be? A month? One year? Or ten years?
Moreover, the Purification Garden is about to open. Can he rush there? This is also an unknown.
Angel shook his head and suppressed these complicated thoughts. Too many negative emotions would affect his decision-making.
The night is getting darker and darker, and the snowflakes are falling more and more.
Angel did not activate the purification force field and let the snowflakes fall on him. He couldn't feel the coolness of the snow, but watching the snow fall on him and slowly melt, he felt much calmer.
Facing the goose-velvet snow, Angel found that the lights of a shop were still on at the end of the dark street.
It was a small clinic. Angel noticed it when he came. The scene inside could be seen through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows——
Narrow room, bright oil lamp, simple table and chairs. A young female doctor in a white robe was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of hot drink in her hand, blowing and sipping it. The white mist coming out of the cup covered her glasses with steam.
This was the scene Angel saw from the floor-to-ceiling windows when he passed by this clinic, which was the only one with lights on on a snowy night.
Angel only paused for a moment before he was noticed by the female doctor who had been watching the snowflakes fall in boredom. She took off her glasses and smiled at Angel.
Angel was stunned and subconsciously wanted to lower his hat and leave quickly. But his thoughts changed and he remembered the "Doctor's Oath" he had seen not long ago. He stopped again. Instead, he nodded to the female doctor, then opened the clinic door and walked in.
The female doctor was startled, then immediately put down the cup in her hand and came over.
"It's snowing too much outside, let's have a cup of hot tea." The female doctor did not ask any questions. She could tell that this strangely dressed man had no intention of coming in, and judging from his straight back and the pace of his movements, Look, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him. She guessed that they were here to avoid the snow.
The female doctor methodically took out the water glass and mixed it with a cup of hot tea.
He thought the other party would make fermented tea, so Angel originally wanted to refuse, but when the female doctor approached, he smelled a faint milky fragrance.
"I particularly like to drink milk tea, so I only have milk tea here." The female doctor said a little embarrassedly: "Sir, you can try it. This is Wimton milk tea. It is especially warm when you drink it on a cold day."
Angel was stunned for a moment, but took it anyway.
However, he did not drink. Instead, he put it on the table, took off his tall hat and put it aside, and smiled at the female doctor.
Only then did the female doctor realize that the "sir" she was talking about was just a half-grown boy. Moreover, with blond hair, blue eyes, and smooth skin, Bai Porcelain is very handsome. Even the senior she had been obsessed with when she was studying was even more handsome. The most important thing is that the other person has not yet grown up and is so good-looking. When he matures, how many women will miss him?
The female doctor couldn't help but shook her head secretly, hating that she got married too early.
"My name is Shirley, and I am the attending physician of this Shirley Clinic." The female doctor Shirley smiled warmly at Angel and said, "The snow came too suddenly. Sir, why don't you stay here for a while. Wait until it snows." When you are young, will you go back?"
Angel nodded casually, and then asked: "Dr. Shirley, did you graduate from Golden Cross Medical College?"
Shirley was stunned for a moment, and then she said with a hint of embarrassment: "Golden Cross is the best medical school in Fuxu Royal Court, and my grades are not up to their admissions standards. I graduated from Folan Medical College, although my My alma mater is not famous, but it has actually produced many famous doctors. Ms. Caroline, a national doctor who now lives in Waterglass, was a student of Folan Medical College."
Angel didn't care about the answer. He just used this conversation to continue asking.
"I heard that when graduating from medical school, there will be an oath. I am very good at this. Dr. Shirley, can you tell me about it?"
Shirley was a little confused, wondering why the other party would ask such a thing. But after all, it wasn't anything private. It was rare for someone to talk to her during the night shift, and she didn't hide it.
"I didn't expect you to understand it quite well. Do you also want to be admitted to medical school?"
Angel didn't answer, just raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
Shirley cursed secretly, smiling so seductively at such a young age...
"You are right, we will take an oath of office as a doctor when we graduate, but in fact it is not just graduation, we will also take an oath when we first enter school. And the oath has not changed, I still remember it to this day..."
Shirley recited the oath.
It is basically the same as the oath that Angel read in "The Doctor's Oath", but there is an additional theme of "being responsible for patients, being demanding on oneself, and respecting medicine":
——"The abandonment of theology."
Angel narrowed his eyes slightly. This extra point is very interesting. Even the Ming Dynasty who purely climbs the technological tree of the earth did not say it to death, leaving a ray of "mystery". Even famous scientists have called for "the end of science is the emperor". Although this is controversial, it is a philosophical statement.
On the contrary, the wizarding world, which truly possesses "metaphysics", has actually appeared in such words as "resolutely abandoning theology" and even written an oath.
"Dr. Shirley, I understand about patients, self, and medicine. But why should we abandon theology?"
Shirley: "Because theology is a way for the powerful to fool the common people. There is no God in this world. Moreover, if the patient is convinced that God can cure him, how can we as doctors save him? My professor once said that theology is a stain on medicine. .”
Angel nodded. He generally agreed with Shirley's words. Any security measures were thought up by powerful people: such as theology, moral standards, and legal standards.
Even what Shirley said about patients believing in God but hiding their illnesses and avoiding medical treatment does make sense.
However, it is too much to say that theology taints medicine.
The so-called theology, Angel’s understanding is not religion, but something unknown to human beings. It may be people's guesses and conjectures, it may be as good as an emperor or as bad as a devil.
To sum up, these are actually “unknown”.
It is already "unknown", how do you know it will "tarnish" medicine. Compared with other aspects of the physician's oath of employment, this word "slander" is used too harshly.
Although Angel thought so, he did not refute Shirley, but asked: "Do you think there is something extraordinary in the world?"
Shirley hesitated slightly: "Probably not?"
Angel nodded and did not continue the topic.
