A Hospital in Another World?

After a round of bargaining, no, haggling, Silver Dragon Ophelia Star Diamond Shimmer and Garrett Still Like a Fake Priest Nordmark finally reached a mutual magic exchange agreement:

Ophelia promised to teach this magic to Garrett until he fully mastered it and could successfully release it to annihilate liver flukes in a patient’s body;

Garrett promised to reveal two detection magic models to Ophelia and to provide as many comparative images as possible to facilitate Ophelia’s learning and mastery;

Both parties retained the right to improve the magic and pledged to exchange the improved spell models...

"So, this magic is actually quite simple." The Silver Dragon Lady, having obtained the promised agreement, was in high spirits and explained with a smile:

"Have you learned the Necromantic spell [Detect Necrosis]? The spell I just used was modified from it."

Garrett gave her a blank look. [Detect Necrosis], a first-tier necromantic spell, of course, he had learned it, and indeed he could cast it. And then, that was it...

The principle of this spell?

Its mechanism?

How can a spell structure be modified?

Even, what exactly is a "necrosis"? It seems not to be bacteria, nor fungi, nor viruses—oh, forget viruses, you need an electron microscope to see those. It seems not to be some kind of parasite either.

Garrett obtained one from Linde Ferrell, and after dissecting, slicing, and staining for microscopic examination, he discovered it wasn’t some kind of tumor, and he lost interest...

"Necrosis is a spherical cyst that grows inside the recipient’s body through the necromantic spell [Necrotic Cyst], produced by a necrotic cyst mother, containing liquid or semi-liquid necromantic essence," she casually outlined the spell model using [Silent Phantom]:

"And [Detect Necrosis] is about specifically probing for this type of cyst within the human body. After the detection, by referring to certain configurations of [Necrosis Domination] and [Necrotic Burst], achieving resonance with them, and annihilating them all."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

So, the principle is resonance. But what exactly resonates with what? Sound waves? Magnetic fields? Surely it can’t be DNA?

Garrett raised a hand, trying to ask a question. However, Ophelia continued without pause:

"See, this part is for detection, this part is for annihilation, and modifications to the detection target are made here..."

The model outlined by Silent Phantom moved, split apart, and changed colors. Garrett memorized it momentarily, whipped out a notebook, and seeing that the Silver Dragon didn’t object, he started scribbling down notes frantically. Poor barbarian sailors, not understanding a word, twisted and turned in boredom...

"Seraina, take them out and let the mountain eagles send them down the mountain," Ophelia said, offloading the task onto her niece at a glance. The Silver Dragon maiden, engrossed in listening, was suddenly assigned this task and looked shocked:

"??? Auntie, you don’t like me anymore! You actually sent me away! I want to listen too!"

"I don’t want to! I want to stay here and listen!"

"Seraina!"

The two Silver Dragons locked gazes at close range, neither yielding, the air in the medical room trembling momentarily. Elder Gregory was about to say, "No need to lead the way, we’ll leave on our own," but Garrett spoke up first:

"Don’t! —Based on my estimation, most of these men would have liver flukes! Keep them for me to practice on!"

"Oh?" Ophelia’s eyes flashed. She glanced at Garrett, her fingertips emitted silver light, sweeping over the somewhat baffled barbarian sailors, and nodded:

"You’re right."

What?! In an instant, the faces of the barbarian sailors turned pale. Most of them have it? Does that mean they will also suffer excruciating pain, rolling around the ship, struggling to breathe like the Elder?

Now... should they beg the Silver Dragon Lady for treatment... or would it be more appropriate, or perhaps plead with this kind-hearted mage, for a higher success rate?

The sailors looked to Elder Gregory, who looked at Ophelia and then at Garrett, undecided. The Silver Dragon Lady had already unequivocally commanded:

"Then it’s settled, you’ll stay here for now. And you," she turned to the eight mountain eagles, "leave one in the front hall for anything that needs transporting."

"As you command, Your Luminous Scaled Highness," the leading mountain eagle bowed with folded wings. Then, the eight mountain eagles, taller than a man, formed a single file, stretching their feathered legs, hopping out of the medical room...

Seraina: ??? Auntie, you really don’t love

me anymore! You ignore me but listen to Garrett!

Nonetheless, Garrett finally got his patients. Of course, these people were not immediately usable; Garrett wouldn’t dare try spells not yet practiced on animals on humans. He proceeded step by step:

First, he selected several liver flukes, placing them in various bottles and jars. Closing his eyes, he activated [Detect Necrosis·Modified], following the indistinct connection between adult flukes to sense the number and location of the parasites;

He then cut pieces of meat and buried liver flukes in them, trying again. This time, he aimed for precise sensing of their number and location, ensuring accurate annihilation without missing a single one;

Annihilation, followed by dissection and inspection; repeat the annihilation and inspection process. After confirming success three times, Garrett unearthed some dead sheep and deer from the Silver Dragon lady’s storage, opened them up, buried liver flukes in their livers and gallbladders, and began another round of spell practice;

The final step was to ask the mountain eagles:

"Could you help catch a few live animals, hmm, no more than ten, anything from the size of a rabbit to a goat is fine, I’ll use them for practice! Oh, and also catch some fish from streams and rivers!"

"Of course, sir! No problem, sir! We’ll definitely catch some today, sir!"

From dead animals to live ones, from forcefully infesting animals with liver flukes to using a long needle to inject the parasites into their livers and gallbladders, then attempting spell treatment.

Lastly, dissecting freshwater fish to extract parts containing metacercariae, feeding them to rabbits, sheep, etc., and then selectively annihilating them through the body...

[Detect Necrosis·Modified], used to annihilate parasites, could eliminate cysts with a diameter of at least 0.15 mm; not bad at all. Next, find a time to try, see if it could kill roundworm eggs, bacteria, and so on?

Garrett conducted his experiments methodically. After completing all the steps and confirming the treatment was satisfactory, he stood in the medical room and shouted:

"I’m starting the treatments, who’s first?"

"Me me me me me!"

The barbarians swarmed out. Garrett reflexively jumped back, away from the treatment table, then saw the towering giants already lined up in front of him, their tails swishing out of the medical room.

Such good order!

They didn’t knock over my table!

If they started shoving, my small frame couldn’t withstand much...

Garrett was relieved. From the other room, Ophelia shouted angrily:

"Come back here! I haven’t finished yet!"
