Professor Andrea Vesalius, who was admired by later generations, was mainly interested in human anatomy. Although he was a professor of surgery at the University of Paduwa, he probably didn't know much more about surgery than the French surgeon Baré Ambroise.

Barre Ambroise, the father of modern surgery, advocated the use of pain-relieving ointments near wounds and the use of bandages to stop bleeding for the wounded in war. Sir Victor's injuries could be well healed in the hands of Dr. Ambroise. However, Ambroise would not become a full-fledged surgeon until 1541.

Even though two of the most famous figures in the history of human medicine had sailed across Haiti to the battlefield outside the village of Westwick in the north of England as students, they could not explain to Sir the exact reason why he was still alive.

If Isabelle Walton had known that Sir Victor was alive and willing to heal him, she would have explained with a little surprise but calmly: "Sir, do you know how special you are? Oh, I don't mean to be offended, and I'm not talking about your looks, your body shape, your job, or your social status. I mean, most of most people's hearts will be on the left side of the chest, and a small part of the heart will be on the right side of the chest. ”

He also explained: "However, the probability of a right heart shift like yours is still very high. This is not a disease, nor is it God's punishment for you, it is just a normal mutation. As long as there are no clinical signs, this condition will not have any effect on your knight's work, family life, and your lifespan. ”

Isabel would add at the end: "God, if you had been a person with a displaced heart beforehand, I would have told Sir Alex Ferguson and his brothers that your heart was on the right side." In this way, you can live without such pain. Believe me, there are times when it's happier to die than to live. ”

If Isabel had been there, she would have said so. Her remark that "it is happier to die than to live" was soon strongly validated by Sir Victor.

After a few mercenary knights from inside the castle stumbled upon the battlefield outside the hamlet, they managed to bring Ser Victor back to Barnard Castle. On the way back to the castle, Sir had to endure not only the pain of his wounds, but also the effects of the bumps caused by the horseback riding.

When he arrived at the castle's training grounds, Jazz felt like he was about to die on horseback. When he gritted his teeth and insisted on getting off the horse, he fell off the horse directly in the dark.

Victor didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but he had been awakened alive by a treatment similar to torture. Barely opening his eyes, it turned out to be the Duncan Medic stationed at Barnard Castle who was holding a red-hot soldering iron and observing the wound on his chest.

Sir smelled the stench of his flesh being burned, and said with a pale face, "Doctor, my injury... What do you think? Stanch... Is there blood? ”

The vast majority of surgeons of this era would have used a brutal method of cauterizing the wounds of the war wounded. Doctors believe that no matter what kind of wound, as long as it is scalded with a red-hot soldering iron or boiled oil (without anesthesia), the purpose of hemostasis and suppuration can be achieved.

Isabel and Alex Ferguson raced as they made their way back to Nottingham Castle. When they were about to arrive at the Aske Manor, they gradually slowed down the gallop of the two horses.

Ferguson recalled the scene of dealing with Francis and several other thieves, and then asked Isabel: "Madam, why didn't you let me talk when you were going to let Francis and the others leave?" ”

Isabel looked sideways at him as she rode her horse and said, "Sir, if you were one of their accomplices, what would you think when you heard me say about Richmondshire or Nottingham Castle?" ”

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

"Well, sir, it's just an assumption, it's interesting. Want to try it? ”

"Well, I can try. If I were their accomplice, I would surely be curious, why didn't you let us go to these two places to plunder? ”

"Good, and then?"

"Then I thought, maybe you're from Richmondshire or Nottingham Castle. If I can find out where you live from the locals, I can steal the money back. ”

Isabel raised her hands and slapped her palms a few times, and said with a smile, "Very good." Look, sir, that's why I didn't let you continue. ”

Ferguson tilted the corners of his mouth, pondered, and said, "Ma'am, what kind of thinking is this?" I think it's very useful. ”

"Oh, it's just a way of thinking about relationships between people and people. Used on the warring sides on the battlefield, it is possible to make bold assumptions about the enemy's thoughts, thus ensuring that we can destroy the enemy to the maximum. ”

"Ma'am, I didn't expect you to have a certain understanding of war?! Or, again, what the Spanish priest taught you? ”

"No, sir. I only occasionally flipped through the military history books written by the ancient Greeks a few times. ”

During small talk, the two rode to the outside of Asker's manor. Isabel looked at the village in front of her right, with a few faint lights flickering in the darkness, and turned to Ferguson and said, "Sir, I don't know if today's raid is right or wrong?" I mean, is the North still in a climate of violence, barbarism, and backwardness in relation to the South at this time? ”

The high-grade war horse under the crotch snorted twice at this time. Ferguson bent down slightly and stroked the neck of the war horse with his hand, while whispering to soothe the horse's emotions. Then he straightened up and said to Isabel: "Ma'am, as a man who grew up and lived in the north, all I can tell you is that this is a place full of adventure and freedom. Too often, people prefer to believe in force rather than rely solely on the law to settle disputes, as is the case in the South. ”

"Sir, does this prove that this custom or tradition was born against the more savage Scots?"

"Ma'am, you're right. Don't forget, we've been at war with the Scots for hundreds of years. ”

"Yes, I think war is the main root cause of all this. If there had been no war, and if Scotland had been incorporated into the kingdom's possessions, the North would soon have been in a good atmosphere like the South that encouraged the pursuit of progress, personal gain, and happiness, and the acquisition of great wealth. ”

A flash of excitement flashed in Ferguson's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Ma'am, is it possible that these things you are talking about will happen?" ”

Imagining the affluent south of England, Isabel happily said, "Of course it's possible." Sir did you know that we can steer the martial and warlike nature of men into the right direction. ”

"What road?"

"Overseas Expansion and Pirate Raid!"

"Pirate plunder? Ma'am, can you tell me a little more detail? ”

Isabel estimated that Sir Augustine and his family were already up at this time, making preparations for today's Sunday Mass. Then he smiled softly and said, "Sir, can I answer your question after the Mass?" ”
