Under the bell tower in the square of the pavilion, the two groups of people gathered together, and when Gawain walked to Anna's side, the widow naturally got rid of his arm and turned to the maid beside him to support him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Then General Orson, who was standing beside the reliquary vehicle and holding a ceremonial sword, immediately turned around and saluted the Grand Duke, "Begin, Your Excellency the Patriarch and General. Gawain, dressed in a solemn military uniform, walked "side by side" with Anna, and stretched out his hand to Orson to speak.

Then, in the solemn chant, Patriarch Anselm solemnly removed from the cart the reliquary, wrapped in silk and containing the middle finger bone of the Holy Apostle Paul, followed by several clergy, followed by the secular monks of the Reformed Order in black robes, and Gottschalke, a procession representing the religious power of Seleucia; Then General Orson led with his sword in hand, behind him were the Genat soldiers in armor and armed with bows and sabers, and General Polybi and his wife were at the rear—a force that represented the old Selucian nobility of allegiance, and of course they all now swore allegiance to Gawain, and those who did not do so would have their bones buried under the gravel of the battlefield; In the third group, Gawain and Anna were in the front, followed by the soldiers of the "Farov Praetorian Guard" and the "Milutin Praetorian Guard", and mixed with the figures of two female ink officers, Hetomia and Agnes, and Merlot and his wife Chise, and the blonde widow, and many slaves carrying banners and objects, and this group represented the true rulers of the land; The last to go was Parni, a minor Arni nobleman who had defected in the city of Castabara, and behind him was a group of "Armenian logisticians" in military camp uniforms, blowing military trumpets and marching in orderly steps, representing the humble submission of the entire northern mountains of Cilicia to the Grand Duke.

The next ramp leads to the Grand Hospital, and Gawain looked up and saw that the main entrance tower of the Grand Hospital (about fifty-five Anna feet high) was magnificent, with a Córdoba-style ceiling on top, slightly rolled up like a flat ship, and three asymmetrical arches below, two large ones with open steps leading directly to the atrium of the hospital, and the small arch with reciprocating lateral steps leading to the second floor of the gate tower, where there was a corridor flanked by rooms by windows. It is a resting area for the dean and physicians. The perimeter of the arch is a carved pattern in the form of broken leaves, extending from the bottom of the door to the top of the arch until the sharp corners of the arch are meshed, all the patterns are stacked with maroon stones, and from a distance, the three arches look like three blooming petals, which is very beautiful.

Next to the gate tower is a dignified belt stone tower, the upper floor also has a lighting fire for the guards to watch, and the lower floor is a warehouse for stockpiling supplies.

When they walked into the atrium, there were tents with domes on the corner arches, and on each side there was a cistern filled with clean water, and under it there was a pipe to the mountain spring next to the big hospital. However, there is no cloister, because this is also the principle of the engineering staff, adhering to the spirit of "as practical and simple as possible".

On three sides of the atrium, there is a two-story "basilica" walled building, in which horseshoe-shaped arches divide the rooms with different functions: the doctor's room, the isolation room, the medicine room, the grinding room, the dining room, and the patient's room.

Looking around, Gawain and Anna were satisfied, and then they stood in the center of the atrium, and all the figures applauded around the perimeter, and then Gawain took out a letter in Greek sent to him by Gerald, the abbot of the John the Baptist Hospital in Jerusalem, which was full of enthusiastic content, and read it aloud:

"Beloved Grand Duke of Anatolia, the bravest servant of the Emperor of Constantinople, the most faithful friend of all believers and pilgrims.

God can testify that at every stage of your life and mine, we are carrying the cross in good faith and trudging toward the end of unknown suffering. Yes, I hold a hospital in the city of Jerusalem in the hope that it will evacuate some of the suffering of my Christian brothers and sisters who come and go, but the sea is too far away, and whenever I see the frail old men and children, enduring the whips and sabers of the infidels, marching thousands of miles to the holy city, sitting before me in rags, I feel remorse and pain for the insignificance of my power. I avoid all the undeserved honors that are placed on me, because I firmly believe in the words of the sages, that is, 'man must seek truth in constant avoidance.' Therefore, when you are to say that on the fulcrum of the coastline of Cilicia, a great hospital with the same function as here, which can accommodate six hundred sick people, I am delighted, I am enthusiastic, and I do not hesitate to bestow upon you the glorious name of John the Baptist, and I hope that you will be able to do such a righteous deed with full passion in the rest of your life, and I am sure that you are absolutely competent for such a mission.

Therefore, your Highness, the only thing I do not want in this letter is to make you complacent, knowing that we are not doing enough in the presence of the all-powerful Lord, before Jesus, who bears all the sins of the world.

You know everything I am grateful for and touched.

Peace be upon you, slave of the Lord. ”

After reading it, everyone present cheered, among them, only Patriarch Anselm had a bitter melon face, and stayed in the crowd without saying anything, but he understood very clearly: this great Seleucian hospital has been recognized by His Excellency Gerard, and it can be put for business.

Then the group of doctors stood in front of Gawain and the princess in purple, accepting the encouragement of these two, Gawain frowned, holding a trembling thin doctor, feeling that it was wrong, so he asked in a low voice, "My child, please tell me, what experience did you have in practicing medicine before?" ”

"I've done it near the city of Conya, mostly castrated......" the skinny doctor stammered.

"Castrate slaves?"

"No, it's the castration of chickens and pigs for the Roman remnants of Konya." The doctor was sweating.

In the cafeteria of the hospital, Gawain strode in, and then saw the linen bird's mouth mask hanging on the wall, which was also inlaid with two pieces of transparent glass from Cairo, and at the position of the eyes, it was like a gas mask for later generations, "Sixteen doctors and a dean, only five of them have medical experience, and they are still veterinarians!" Gawain was furious, took off the doctor's mask, slammed it on the table, and looked at Anna and the dean, who was pale with fright, "The hospital doesn't just have a brand and a reputation - you (pointing to the director), from now on I will give you money, you give me to Antioch, Latakia, or Konya, whether it's a Roman, Saracen, or Latin, find me a qualified doctor, or I'll be the first to do an autopsy experiment with you!"
