CHAPTER XXI

“…… Alright, that's all for today's lesson, goodbye! ”

At the end of today's lesson, Mr. Fogel looked around and then looked at John Huntelaar's face, and said with a smile, "Mr. Huntelaar, please come out with me!" ”

"Yes, sir. ―{2}{3}{}{x}]”

John secretly smiled bitterly, and quickly stood up and followed.

Behind the two of them, the rest of the classmates followed John's back with a kind of envious gaze, even his friends Peake and Luther. John's expression in class just now was really excellent, although they didn't understand a lot of content, but Professor Fogel's reaction was really visible, and the kind of surprise and appreciation could be understood......

"Sir, may I ask what is the matter?"

After leaving the classroom, John asked in a whisper.

Without answering John's question directly, Fogel looked him up and down, then smiled and asked, "Your full name is John Huntelaar, right?" American? ”

"German-American."

Nodding, John said very calmly.

After hearing this answer, Fogel's eyes lit up, and his eyes became more and more gentle when he looked at John, and nodded with a smile: "Your table today is very good, and your understanding of bacteriology is very deep, which is very good!" ”

"Uh, thank you for the compliment."

John's habits in his previous life instinctively took effect, and he immediately smiled modestly.

However, before John could guess the meaning of the other party's words just now, Fogel had already asked directly, "Mr. Huntelaar, are you interested in coming to my real room?" ”

"What?"

Hearing this abrupt invitation, John was stunned.

……

By the time John returned to the classroom with a somewhat complicated expression, it was already ten minutes later.

Because it was the last class of the day, most of the students had already left, leaving only Peake and Luther chatting in the classroom. When they saw John enter, they immediately went to his side and stared into John's eyes.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Being looked at by the two friends was a little hairy, John asked vigilantly.

After a long while, Peake said in a somewhat strange tone, "John, it seems ...... Is it true what you told us about Liszt and Mr. Koch? ”

"Of course it's true!"

John's heart moved, and he quickly nodded and emphasized: "I said it a long time ago, I have studied the theories of these two masters very thoroughly, and today you finally believe it, right?" ”

Luther nodded and smiled: "I believe it, I believe it completely...... John, what did Mr. Fogel tell you to go out for? ”

"He just invited me to join him in his room."

There was nothing to hide from the two friends, and John immediately told him what had just happened. At the University of Berlin, it is not surprising that it is very common for excellent students to follow their mentors in practice.

Sure enough, neither of them paid much attention to this answer, but Peak still pouted at this time and said, "John, instead of joining his real room, you might as well wait for Mr. Koch to take office next year...... Didn't he admire you that day? I think you can apply for it then! ”

"This ......"

Hearing Pique's advice, John opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. At the ball that day, he and Koch were just a one-sided relationship, purely to satisfy his desire to chase stars. Although he was polite at the time, he might have forgotten about himself later.

After thinking about it for a moment, John shook his head and said, "I'm sure I'll think about it seriously, but for now, I'm more inclined to focus on my studies and try to become a surgeon, as I told Mr. Fogel just now." ”

"Hehe, this is not a contradiction!"

Shaking his head disapprenously, Luther smiled and said, "Didn't Mr. Koch start his great research when he was also a country physician?" With so much energy, it shouldn't be too difficult to cope with both at the same time. ”

"Uh...... Quite right. ”

After being stunned for a moment, John also laughed dumbly.

Speaking of Koch's family history back then, it is indeed quite dramatic. Originally, he was a rural doctor, but because his wife bought him a microscope as a gift, he embarked on the road of science, which was unimaginable in later generations. However, the so-called scientific research in this era is indeed not high in "technical content", too much and too much emphasis comes from chance and opportunity, and of course, there is more important persistence and hard work, just like many medical giants in this era.

Thinking of this, John had to sigh secretly.

The more he learned about this era, the more John realized how valuable the knowledge in his head was that he had thought was very ordinary, and how long his road ahead would be......

……

While John was sighing to himself, Mr. Fogel was on his way back to his room at the end of the day, but as he passed an office, he hesitated markedly, and finally came up and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

A deep voice came from inside the room.

Pushing open the door and walking in, Fogel greeted with a smile, "Ernst, aren't you ready to go home?" ”

"Haha, please sit my old friend."

Seeing that it was Fogel, a tall white man in his forties immediately stood up from the pile of buried papers and greeted with a smile: "I want to go back after reading this "Lancet" that I just did...... Want a cup of coffee? ”

"No thanks."

Sitting down in his chair slowly, Fogel shook his head.

"Looking for me?"

Seeing that Fogel seemed to have something to say, the tall white man immediately asked with concern.

After a moment's hesitation, Fogel smiled and asked, "Ernst, I remember one time when we were chatting, you used to talk excitedly about the prospect of surgical techniques...... Do you remember that conversation? ”

"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"

After hearing these words, the tall white man felt more and more strange in his heart. As one of Fogel's friends, he rarely saw the other party's cousin at this time, as if he had encountered something very regrettable.

Blinking, Fogel smiled, "I met a sophomore today, and he said almost exactly the same thing you said that day!" ”

"Sophomores? You're not kidding me, are you? ”

The tall white man was immediately amused when he heard it.

"Of course not!"

Fogel pouted and said, "That young man is very interesting, he knows a lot about the research of Pasteur and Koch, and he once went to London to meet Liszt...... I wanted to invite him to study in my room, but I was refused, saying I wanted to be a surgeon! ”

"Oh?"

Hearing Fogel say this, the tall white man's interest suddenly came, and he hurriedly asked, "Did he really say the same thing as me??" ”

"It should be about the same!"

After thinking about it for a moment, Fogel nodded in affirmation.

After getting the confirmation of his friend again, the tall white man immediately frowned and groaned, and after a long time he raised his head, his eyes flashing with curiosity, and said, "If that's the case, I must meet this young man......"

……

Depressed, it's too time-consuming to check the information, the key is that the content of the book is inconsistent, annoying.

That's it for today, continue to check the information in the evening, and try to explode tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
