Section 357 Chance encounter on a snowy night

Ingres flipped through the pages for nearly half the night, and finally saw the clue of "the snake wrapping around the scepter" in a book of "The Doctor's Oath". In this book, the www.biquge.info of the pen and the court draw several scenes of ancient physicians saving people, perhaps in order to deify the status of the physicians, they all carry a scepter surrounded by snakes when treating patients, and their whole bodies are glowing.

One of the most amazing drawings is a four-panel comic strip that tells the story of a man with a snake staff in front of him in the shape of a glowing cloud. Under the reminder of "Guangyun", the man saved the epidemic that spread throughout the city.

If it weren't for the author's deliberate "deification", the only person Ingres could think of with such extraordinary power was a wizard. And that "light cloud" may be some kind of large-scale healing technique.

At the end, there is another picture in the book with a picture of a snake around a scepter.

However, this picture does not have a doctor holding a snake staff, but in a square, the "snake around the scepter" has become a statue, and countless doctors in white robes clenched their fists and put their chests and bowed their heads to the statue.

The whole picture looks full of solemnity and sacredness.

Written below it is the name of this picture: Oath of Employment.

All physicians take an oath when they join the company. This oath contains "due diligence to the patient, self-demand, and respect for medicine." This picture is a picture of the oath of entry.

After reading the book, Ingres's mind was even more confused.

In the previous picture, the "snake around the scepter" is a tool in the hands of the doctor, and in the end, it turns out to be the faith of the doctor when he takes the oath, which is very strange.

Ingres thought about it for a while, maybe the first pictures actually referred to a certain wizard who specialized in healing, and his deeds of saving people were praised by people, so there was the previous picture. Later, the wizard left, and his deeds were slowly celebrated, becoming more and more deified under this long period of praise, and in the end, even his snake staff became the object of the oath of entry.

This is the complete logic that Ingres can think of.

But...... What does this have to do with Axol? What does this have to do with Pocrates?!

After rummaging through the scepter for most of the day, the "snake around the scepter" found was just an ancient legend?! There was no mention of the snake's name, let alone what it meant. There is no account of the "Pocrates" that Ingres wanted to know the most.

Angels, who felt that he had done a day job, reluctantly restored the books in the secret vault, and then left silently.

Returning the way he came, he quietly left the central library. When he reappeared in the square, Ingres unexpectedly found that there was a little hoarfrost floating down in the air.

- Is it snowing? In hindsight, Ingres remembered that the falling hoarfrost was actually snowflakes.

Since childhood, he has lived in a temperate coastal area, and when he came to the wizarding world, he was also in the mirror world of the four seasons. Ingres had seen frozen land on the Pamiji Plateau, but he rarely saw snowflakes, and he only remembered seeing goose feathers and snow when he was very young, when he went to the capital of the Plantagenet Empire. Now that I am suddenly reunited with the snow, my originally depressed mood is suddenly much better for some reason.

In the fluttering snowdrops, Ingres was inexplicably quiet, and walked towards the place where he came from step by step.

Every season has its symbolic symbol. Snow is the default "gift of winter" in Ingres's heart. The trench coat worn by Angel has the effect of cold and heat, so he basically doesn't feel the winter mood. When he saw the fluttering snowflakes, he realized that winter had really come.

Perhaps the sound of falling snow was too soft, which scratched the sensibility in Ingres's heart that had not appeared for a long time.

He thought of his relatives who were far away, of Leon, of Jon.

Also in the Frozen Moon, he left Gru Town and followed Moro to a mysterious world. In a flash, it's two years.

Two years is not a long time in the long life of a wizard. But for Ingres, it was still too fast, and he hadn't grown enough to shelter the family, nor had he found a way to cure Jon.

Now, he doesn't even know where he is.

Although he has been working on self-construction in his heart and will be able to go back soon, God knows how long this "soon" will be?

Besides, the Purification Garden is about to open, will he be able to rush there?

Angel shook his head and forcibly suppressed these complicated thoughts, too many negative emotions would affect his decision.

The night is getting darker, and the snowflakes are drifting more and more.

Angel didn't turn on the purification field, and let the snowflakes fall on him. He couldn't feel the coolness of the snow, but watching the snow fall on him and slowly melt, his mood calmed down a lot.

Facing the goose-down snow, Ingres found a shop with the lights still on at the end of the dark street.

It was a small clinic, and Ingres noticed it when he came, and he could see through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Narrow room, bright oil lamp, simple table and chairs. A young female physician in a white robe, sitting in a chair, holding a cup of hot drink in her hand, blowing and sipping, the white mist coming out of the cup covered her glasses with a layer of steam.

This is what Angels sees from the floor-to-ceiling windows as he passes by the clinic, the only clinic with the lights on on on a snowy night.

Angel paused only slightly, and was discovered by the female doctor who had been bored watching the snowflakes fall. She took off her glasses and smiled at Angels.

Angel was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to lower his hat and leave quickly. But his mind turned, remembering the "Doctor's Oath" he saw not long ago, he stopped again, nodded to the female doctor, and then pushed open the door of the clinic and walked in.

The female doctor was stunned, and immediately put down the cup in her hand and greeted her.

"It's snowing too much outside, come and have a hot cup of tea. The female physician did not ask for an opinion, and she could see that the strangely dressed man had not intended to come in, and judging by the straightness of his back and the pace of his movements, there did not seem to be anything ill. She figured out that she had come to avoid the snow.

The female doctor methodically took out a water cup and mixed it with a cup of hot tea.

He thought that the other party would make fermented tea, so Angel originally wanted to refuse, but when the female doctor approached, he smelled a faint milky aroma.

"I especially like to drink milk tea, so I only have milk tea here. The female doctor said a little embarrassedly: "Sir, you can try it, this is Wimmerton milk tea, which is especially warm to drink on a cold day." ”

Angel was stunned, but took it anyway.

However, he did not drink it, but put it on the table first, took off his high hat and put it aside, and smiled slightly at the female doctor.

Only then did the female doctor realize that the "sir" in her mouth was just a half-grown teenager. And blonde hair and blue eyes, with smooth skin like fine white porcelain, is very handsome, even more handsome than the senior she thought of when she was studying. The most important thing is that the other party has not yet grown, so good-looking, and when he matures, how many women will be worried about it?

The female doctor couldn't help but shake her head secretly, hating to marry too early.

"My name is Shirley and I am the attending physician at this Shirley clinic. The female physician Shirley smiled at Angel Wen and said, "This snow came too suddenly, Mr. might as well stay away from me." Wait until the snow is light and then go back?"

Ingrell nodded casually, then asked, "Doctor Shirley, did you graduate from the Golden Cross Medical School?"

Shirley was stunned for a moment, and then there was a wave of shame on her face: "The Golden Cross is the best medical school in the Royal Court, and my grades are not up to their admissions standards." I graduated from the Flone Medical School, and although my alma mater is not famous, it actually produces many famous doctors. Caroline, a national physician who now lives in Watergrass, was a student at the Fran Medical School. ”

Ingres didn't care about the answer, he just took advantage of this to ask.

"I've heard that when medical school graduates, there is an oath. I'm curious about this, Dr. Shirley, can you tell me about it?"

Shirley was a little puzzled, not knowing why the other party was asking such a thing. But after all, it's not private, it's rare to have someone talk when she's on night duty, and she doesn't hide it.

"I didn't expect you to know a lot, do you want to be admitted to medical school too?"

Angel didn't answer, just smiled at the corners of his lips.

Shirley scolded secretly, smiling so seductively at a young age......

"You're right, we will have a physician take the oath when we graduate, but it's not just graduation, we also take the oath when we first enter the school. And the oath has not changed, I still remember ......"

Shirley recited the oath.

It is basically the same as the oath that Ingres read in "The Doctor's Oath", but there is one more theme in the theme of "due diligence to patients, self-demand, and respect for medicine":

- "Abandonment of theology."

Ingre's eyes narrowed slightly, this extra one is very interesting, even the earth, a civilization that purely climbs the technology tree, did not say anything to death, leaving a glimmer of room for "mystery". Even famous scientists have called for "the end of science is God", which is controversial but forced to philosophy.

On the contrary, the wizarding world, which really has "metaphysics", has this kind of rhetoric of "resolute rejection of theology", and has written all the oaths.

"Dr. Shirley, I understand the patient, the self, and the medicine. But why abandon theology?"

Shirley: "Because theology is a means for the powerful to fool the common people, there is no god in this world. And if the patient is sure that God can heal him, how can we, as physicians, save him? My professor once said that theology is a stain on medicine. ”

Ingres nodded, and he generally agreed with Shirley's words, that any security method was conceived by the powerful: theology, moral standards, legal standards.

Even Shirley's statement that patients believe in God and avoid medical treatment is indeed justified.

However, to say that theology taints medicine is an overstatement.

By theology, Ingres understands not religion, but what is unknown to mankind. It may be people's speculation and speculation, good as God or bad as demons.

To sum up, these are actually "unknown".

It's all already "unknown", how do you know that medicine will be "tainted". Compared with the rest of the physician's oath, this defiled word is used too harshly,

Although Ingres thought so, he did not refute Shirley, but asked rhetorically, "Do you think there is anything extraordinary in the world?"

Shirley hesitated slightly: "Shouldn't there be?"

Ingres nodded, not continuing the conversation.
