The Hearn family was a military family that guarded the borders, and before the fall of the Gothic Kingdom, the members of this family grew up in Fort Hearn, which was an immensely large functional building, and the standardized castle has been expanded by the Hearn family for several generations, from a battle fortress that could only train and station soldiers and large siege troops into the town center of a military town.

Most of the first Bolognese were people from the vicinity of Herneburg, who fled to this area during the invasion of the Huns.

Although they no longer live in militarized castles, the Hearn family has brought some of their former habits to their current domain, such as the arsenal under the manor, the stables in the backyard of the manor, and the huge dining table in the hall.

Hearn's ancestors were brave warriors, sharing food with their robes and their subordinates at the same large table, which was open enough for any warrior in the castle, even a guard.

At that time, the skilled warriors talked and laughed loudly at the big table, drank and ate meat, put their axes and dishes together, and leaned on the edge of the table, seemingly casual but actually waiting, they defended the Gothic kingdom with their bravery.

Now, however, there were only five people sitting at the long table, three of whom were even little girls, and the descendants of the Hearn family were only a middle-aged man who had not yet grown old, a little imp who had not yet grown a beard, and a young girl who was like a doll.

According to the rules, Knock Dong was not qualified to have breakfast with the lord, but Theodoric is not the kind of guy who cares about the rules, and Marisa has a noble status, if Ice Hunt and Knock are regarded as 'the princess's guards and maids', they can barely say the past, anyway, there are no stubborn old people in the current Hearn family...... But Dior now regrets it.

From the beginning of the meal, Lord DIO noticed an expectant gaze constantly sweeping towards him, causing him to always feel that something was missing from his plate...... For example, the buttered Purple Shirt Wooden Bow, the Purple Shirt Wooden Bow cut into thin slices and sandwiched in toast, the Purple Shirt Wooden Bow that is crushed and boiled into a pot with barley and minced meat, and the Purple Shirt Wooden Bow that is roasted to a golden brown.

"That...... Knock knock, why have you been watching me? The young man asked Xiao Maoyu with a slightly darkened smile.

"What did Dior promise me this morning? I've shot all the arrows at the target! The little guy asked excitedly.

'This is a little ghost, what a kick in the face!' It looks very cute, but it's actually a bear child, or my Melly! ’

'I'm just kidding, you still think I'm really eating?' The young lord was very annoyed by Xiao Maoyu's behavior of not big or small, and his perception plummeted, if it weren't for the agreement between Gu Gu and Bing Hunt, he would have wanted to throw this little ghost out of the manor.

"That's right, Dongdong's archery skills are indeed very good, but ...... Some things are not something that can be done. ”

But no matter how annoyed he was, Dio couldn't really do anything to this child, he was not the kind of traditional aristocrat who regarded commoners as ants, so he could only continue to try to reason with this bear child with a stiff smile, but the situation changed again.

"Brother, what did you promise to knock on?" Melly put down the half-eaten toast slice in her hand and stared at her brother curiously.

After this sentence was asked, Marisa also put down the food in her hand and looked over with great interest. Hearn didn't seem interested in intervening in the juniors' conversations, but Dio dared to reassure him with a fir bow that his uncle must be listening.

"It's nothing, I made a bet with Dongdong this morning, as long as she can shoot an arrow at the target, I'll grant her a request."

Dio omitted the most important part, and then looked at Xiao Maoyu with some nervousness, praying that the little guy would not dismantle his own stage.

"Huh? Can't Dior do it? Hearing this, Dong Dong suddenly showed a very lost look, which made people want to go up and rub her head.

'No one can do it, can they?' It's something that no one can do, right? Are you really serious? Dio could only roar in his heart.

Melly stared at her brother, how she thought he seemed to be hiding a lot of things, and they were all very interesting things.

"Knock knock, what did you wish?" Marisa's style is very direct, and she asks about it directly.

"I want Dior to arrange something for me to do, because I don't know what I should do!" Knock replied in disappointment.

Who knew that after Xiao Maoyu had just finished saying this, Theodoric slapped the table with a hideous face, pointed at Dong Dong and yelled.

"You... Did you mention this? You're not asking me to eat the purple ...... Ahem, ahem! Excited, Dior almost slipped his mouth.

"Huh? I...... No... Didn't you say that? Dong Dong was startled by the other party's violent appearance, and asked very weakly.

"Of course you didn't say that! Not a word! Just staring at me all the time! Theodoric squirted a cannon at the knock, and the little guy was shocked to shrink his neck and hold his head and dare not squeak, and the lord boy suddenly felt that his mind was clear.

"Knock knock I'm about to cry, my brother is so bad." Miss Melly suddenly burst out of the picture and poured cold water on the triumphant boy.

"Monsieur Dior... It's not right to bully Dong Dong. Despite feeling that she was lowly, Marisa decided to support her friend.

'It's obviously her own stupidity, okay! Why does it seem like it's all wrong with me now? I...... I'm a lord! It's all my fault? ’

Theodoric gritted his teeth angrily, then took a deep breath, then another breath, and then his mood calmed down.

"Uncle Blue said you know how to heal, so you should be a doctor in Bologna! Play however you want...... I'm full! ”

Dio didn't think anyone would go to a child like Dongdong to see a doctor, and he didn't think that Xiao Maoyu's skills were high.

The young lord left the dining room and came to his office with a belly full of anger, his work for the day had just begun.

"The river that flows through Bologna is indeed a weakness, this time the pirates can sneak in, it is difficult to guarantee that the next time it will be the plundering fleet of other forces, it is better to build a few more guard towers along the river, and send a patrol team to be in charge of this area."

"Byzantium has been greatly damaged, and there will definitely be a group of lords in the Otto League who want to take advantage of the fire...... Ha! Is it an invitation sent directly from a functional building? As I thought, they're greedy guys, but it's better to remind them. ”

"Although the Byzantines are greatly damaged, but it is not something that our Otto alliance can fight against, if we concentrate the power of Otogot and Visgoth, maybe it is still possible, the Saracens and Turks are huge and extremely cruel to the infidels, at this time it is better to pull a Byzantine, the Byzantine Empire can block the pressure from the peoples in the desert area."

Dio wrote what he was going to say on a piece of parchment, stamped with the seal of the lord of Bologna and set it aside, and the parchment gradually disappeared from the table, but Dio ignored it, knowing that it was a functional building at work.

This file will appear on the desks of other Goth Lords, depending on the distance, but this function is distributed in groups, and can only flow between the same level of power that has concluded an alliance, and private communication between lieges requires a messenger.

"Now let me see what the situation is in the territory...... Well? What is this? Suddenly, Dio found a special scroll in the journal of the territory, and he opened it curiously to find that it was actually a letter of appointment approved by the functional building.

[Honorable Lord, you will appoint Dr. Dongdong as the head of health care in your territory, and hand over all the medical management practices of Bologna to the other party, if you confirm it, please stamp the official seal of the lord at the bottom of this document to complete the acceptance.] 】

"Open...... What a joke! That imp turned out to be a doctor who was approved by the functional building? She...... How old is she! ”

Dio shouted in surprise, and he read the letter of appointment several times to determine whether it was true or not.

"The letter of appointment is true, but isn't it only after joining the Lord's Mansion that you can be appointed?" The teenager began to reminisce carefully.

"Alright! I know...... Is it because this little girl took the initiative to apply for a job and I casually appointed it? ”

"If you don't have the right people, you won't have a letter of appointment even if you make an appointment, and there are hundreds of doctors in Bologna, but not a single one can be appointed...... This means that, at least in Bologna, no one can beat that little girl in terms of medical skills?! If this kind of thing is publicized, the group of doctors will probably hang themselves, right? Or simply throw yourself into the river. ”

Dio shook his head, and then threw away the letter of appointment in his hand, even if Dongdong could be recognized by the functional building in terms of professional skills, he would never let this little girl be the manager, she couldn't even take care of herself, where could she manage the doctors of the entire territory?

"Only people who can far exceed the level of functional buildings will have a letter of appointment when they are appointed, I originally thought that only Ice Hunt had such qualifications, but I didn't expect Dongdong to also have this kind of talent... You have to find a way to keep Ice Hunt and Dongdong behind, absolutely! ”

Theodoric had forgotten the ugliness that he had just brought to him, and he was now using his brains to keep the two of them in his territory, considering that there were less than five people in Bologna who possessed the talents recognized by functional architecture.

"Ice Hunt's desire to leave is very strong, and if he leaves, Dongdong will definitely follow...... Well, it seems that the matter of contacting the fleet to the East will have to be rubbed a little, and then it is necessary to inquire about the specific reasons why the red hair is in a hurry to go to the East, maybe Dongdong will know some information and can talk from her mouth...... Well? Why did the Knock Cat get here? ”

Suddenly, Dio noticed a budgie cat coming in under his desk, which seemed to be the one that Knock Knock often had on his head.

"Let's find a way to get the detailed information of Dong Dong first, since she can be recognized by the system, then she must have some kind of peculiarity."

The young man didn't pay any attention to a cat, he didn't notice the sly look that flashed in the budg's eyes.

Dio hurriedly took care of his official business and then left the office, and soon after he left, Kazan rushed to the table, and Tigerskin Meow didn't mess with the documents on the desk, it just wanted to find the inexplicable power of attorney, and thought about it as it searched.

This guy is more harmless than he imagined, and this morning in the dining room, Dong Dong gave him such an embarrassment, and if it were for the stupid nobles of the Empire, that little guy would probably be hanged...... But this guy named Dior looked very angry, and ended up laughing afterwards and passed. He's not the kind of guy who values face more than anything else, and he doesn't have the lofty self-centeredness of the average upper-class person. ’

Kazan quickly found the letter of appointment, although he was just a cat, but under the rules of this world, he could still read the words on it, and it didn't matter if he couldn't read, because there was also a hand-painted portrait of Dong Dong on it, and the painting style of the functional building was realistic and exquisite, and the little guy's smirking expression was depicted into the wood.

'As much as I admire this kid, I'm going to have to do something if he wants to get Ice Hunt in the way of his trip...... Well! Hide this power of attorney. ’

Kazan didn't know the management system of the functional building, and he didn't know if the mandate could be a second copy, but his purpose was to make trouble about Dior's fooling of Dongdong.

It's easy for a kid like Dongdong who doesn't understand anything to be abducted, and Kazan feels that he has to drag it back until Ice Hunt comes back, and with Ice Hunt, the 'elder', Dior will have some scruples about doing anything he wants.

Tigerskin Meow jumped off the table with her tail stretched in her grip and slipped out of the lord's office.

Let's go back and talk about the little one, the little one, who was so bored and empty that she was about to roll on the floor, finally had something to do, and after breakfast, she began to prepare herself in high spirits.

Dongdong borrowed a small hoe and rattan basket from the gardener of the manor, these are the necessary tools for collecting medicine, and the knowledge left by the bellflower to Dongdong includes the knowledge of how to diagnose patients, the knowledge of how to judge the efficacy of medicine, the knowledge of pharmacology, the knowledge of surgery that seems to be quite superficial in modern times, the knowledge of hundreds of prescriptions and medicinal properties, but there is no knowledge of how to be a doctor.

After all, Kikyo's job is to slay demons and protect the witch of mankind, and medical skills are only a means for her to save people rather than a means of making a living, and as a clergyman who receives offerings from the villagers, she doesn't need to make a living by practicing medicine.

Well, speaking of this, I'm afraid there are many people who think that the medical skills of bellflower are actually not so powerful, but the front teeth are too exaggerated, right?

This is really not an exaggeration at all, because the ghost spider kind of severely burned and paralyzed by the fall can be rescued by her, and in the absence of antibiotics, life-sustaining equipment and disinfection environment, the level of the ghost spider, even if it is rescued with advanced modern medicine, most of the rescue will be ineffective.

However, even if Dongdong has no experience in practicing medicine and running a medical clinic, he understands that diagnosis alone cannot save people without medicine.

Doctors with a little capital will run their own medical clinics and pharmacies, and their sources of medicines are directly purchased from pharmacists and medicine farmers, and they almost never go up the mountain to collect them themselves, while informal practitioners such as bellflower can only go up the mountain to dig for drugs if they want to obtain them.

"Yes...... But where should I go to collect medicine? ”

The little guy stood in front of the manor in a daze with a rattan basket and a small hoe on his back, and made a difficulty.

Outside the manor gate, the streets are paved with large stones, and the small buildings of two or three floors are neatly arranged, and you can't find a single weed on the streets of Bologna, let alone herbs.

A cool breeze blew, Dong Dong couldn't help but shrink his neck, now that the climate is getting colder, the fragile herbaceous plants have long been frozen to death and frozen yellow, this is a common sense thing......

It's just that what the little guy lacks most in his head now is this kind of common sense thing.

"Knock, what are you doing?"

Suddenly there was a curious inquiry behind him, and the little guy turned around to see Marisa walking towards him with a thick, heavy book in her arms.

"Ahh I was just going to pick up medicine! ”

Dong Dong said, raising the small hoe in his hand.

Marisa laughed at her friend's appearance, and then said to a dazed Dongdong.

"Knock knock! Did you know that this season does not grow anything except for the cultivated land affected by functional buildings? ”

"Huh? Why is this happening!? So where do I find herbs? ”

Xiao Maoyu had a bitter face on the spot, she had just found what she could do.

"Why are you digging for herbs? Do you really want to practice medicine? That's not fun...... Come read with me, right? ”

Marisa originally came to look for Dongdong to read a book together, and when she was in Foggy Rain Village, the old village chief taught her to read and write.

"I found this book behind a cupboard in my room, and the stuff on it was interesting!"

"Interesting?"

Dong Dong tilted his head suspiciously and looked at his partner with an excited face.

Seeing this, Marisa leaned over mysteriously and whispered.

"What is written in this book...... It's magic! ”

The blonde girl was about to say something, but suddenly a shout came from behind her.

"Knock knock! Finally found you! ”

Marisa was startled, she could tell it was Theodoric's voice, and she hurriedly instructed Knock.

"Don't tell anyone about it!"

After finishing speaking, she ran away in a hurry without waiting for Dongdong's answer.

Dio trotted all the way to Dongdong, he stared at her with a very tangled look, and the unknown little guy responded with a blank expression, and the young lord forgot for a moment what he was about to say.

'That's right! That's right! Now you have to strengthen your ability to knock on the dong! ’

Dio finally remembered what he had to do, so he grabbed Dongdong's hand and pulled her to the shooting range in the backyard.

This place is usually only visited by Dior himself, and it is quite a hidden place.

"Knock knock, shall we play a quiz game?"

“…… Yes? ”

Xiao Maoyu thought about it carefully, and then asked.

"Got candy?"

When he was with Chu Xuan, yes, after doing all kinds of tests, the colonel would use candy to appease the little guy, which eventually led to Dongdong's feeding reflex of 'tests, exams, experiments, and candy to eat'.

'This kid is too easy to coax, isn't he?' Aren't you afraid that I'll kidnap her? ’

Dior thought as he nodded his head repeatedly.

"There's sugar! There's sugar! As long as you cooperate, I will give you candy to eat. ”

A few hours later, Dongdong was eating freshly baked sugar cakes in the yard with a happy expression on his face, and Dior was very trustworthy in 'testing'

After that, let the kitchen aunt fry a pot of sugar cakes for the little one.

The sugar cakes that have just come out of the pot are fragrant and soft, and there are more than a dozen pieces in a pot, and Dongdong originally wanted to share them with Marisa, but he couldn't find each other.

Compared with Dongdong's carefreeness, Dior stared at a sheepskin curl in his study in a daze.

【Talent?】 Healer's Benevolence (Rare): This person has a deep attainment in medical skills, and if she is there, she doesn't have to worry too much about whether she is injured or sick, but this person is different from ordinary pharmacists, she does not know how to prepare deadly poisons, and instinctively rejects the abuse of medical skills to harm people. 】

[Identity? Down-and-out aristocracy (general): Although it is not known why she ended up here, there is no doubt that she came from an ancient and noble family, and that she was a descendant of this family, which may have been royal at some time, and there is no doubt that the nobility of this bloodline has been widely recognized by the people of all generations. 】

"Two special qualifications? As much as Uncle Blue? ”

Theodoric frowned.

"And this special identity...... I don't think it's surprising if it appears on Marisa, but why did it appear on that girl? ”

"It seems that the identity of Ice Hunt ...... Probably more complicated than I thought. ”
