The door closed behind him, enclosing in the spicy heat. There was an extra gold oak leaf medallion on Kraft's chest, brought by Professor Fernand and given to the Duke of Westminster to wear for the grantee, and it was mostly pure gold as the weight of the collar it pulled on one side of the collar.

After leaving the room, Professor Fernand looked a little tired. He walked out of the section on his own, stopped in front of the sunny window, and complained with Craft, "Professor Craft, you have also seen that Lord Duke often has his own opinions on things, so that he seems to be confident to the point of stubbornness. ”

"Often?"

"Yes, it's true that it's always been that way. Since we met when we were younger, we haven't changed much, and that's something I envy. He straightened his beard and adjusted it to the center, revealing a mixed look of nostalgia or emotion.

It sounds like the Duke of Westminster and Fernand are actually the same generation, and they have a good personal relationship.

It's not very obvious. Even though the Duke was suffering from tuberculosis and an unknown disease, he was seldom tired when awake, his beard was neatly dressed, and he looked at least fifteen years younger than the old professor in the image of Gandalf.

"His character helped him a lot in his early years. As a commander-in-chief, bravery is undoubtedly a good quality. But we have to admit that there are always two sides to the story, and that such an aggressive attitude towards treatment is worrying, both as a doctor and as a friend. ”

Worry seems to have made Fernand a little older, and it's hard to say who here will not be able to hold on first.

"I have no intention of proposing a beak surgery, and it would be a surprise to have a new idea, but before I do that, I want to hear your thoughts in detail."

"Unfortunately, I can't even explain what was detected." Kraft rubbed his chin, his mind still immersed in what he had seen. That pom-pom-like exterior of the padding is definitely not a tuberculous ball.

According to the cockroach theory, when you see the first cockroach in the house, there is a group of cockroaches in the eight achievements, and the same is true for the duke. Even in such a complex lung environment, it is possible to find subtle threads that are not the same as the scar cord tissue.

Similar, but more subtle, beyond the limit of resolution, is also faintly visible in the skull, attached to the subarachnoid membrane between the parietotemporal, and would have been missed if it had not been suspected according to the symptoms.

"Regardless of the explanation, it is unreasonable to perform an artificial pneumothorax in the presence of an intrapulmonary complication." ”

"The Duke doesn't think so, and it will take time and patience to change his mind." Fernand supported his lower back with his hands, straightened his back, and the lumbar disc was protesting against his immobile behavior, "We don't necessarily have this time. ”

"What we actually have is time. I would ask the craftsmen through Mr. Wilbert that there is ample opportunity for patients to re-weigh the pros and cons while they build the tool. "It would be nice if the Duke was willing to think about it, but now Kraft just wants to see how the top craftsmen he has found so far can make chest threads and inflators for him.

Compared with syringes, thoracentesis needles do not need to be so thin, but they are not easy to deal with. There is also a hose connecting the cylinder and the needle, which is not a headache for him anyway.

"Westminburg has some of the best craftsmen in the kingdom, and I've seen them shrink their crossbow machines to the point where they can be carried under their coats while retaining the power to shoot through leather armor, how long will your stuff consume them?"

"Then I'll see." It turned out that Martin's small crossbow came this way, and Kraft had a little more confidence in the finished product that was about to arrive, "During this time, I will screen the Duke for complications." ”

"Why? Do you think the disease is foreign? Fernand was a little puzzled by this approach, highlighting a meticulous process that had to check everything, which he had not seen in anyone other than Kraft.

"I don't know, I don't know anything now, but I don't believe in solitary cases. Could it be that so many patients with lung wasting disease are infected with symptoms that he has never seen before? There must be a source, for example, the Duke's wasting disease may have been transmitted to him by his wife. ”

"Food, environment, personnel, one counts as one, and I believe Mr. Wilbert's status as an internal affairs officer can provide me with the information I want." It is rare to encounter an opportunity for special cases to coexist with the improvement of information files, and I will not remember it in vain.

"What if it's not?"

"That's better, it means that it's caused by the Duke's unique conditions, and the range is much smaller." Kraft took off the strap around his neck and put it in the crook of his arm, it made his neck itch all the time, "That's the plan for now. Also, what is this thing? ”

"Ribbons, wear them for degree-granting status, but you can find a random place to put them."

"Why?" Kraft was puzzled, listening to the use of it is quite important.

"There's nothing higher to give you, welcome to Rivers University, Professor Kraft." In a rather simple welcoming ceremony, the director of the college symbolically straightened his collar to signify the completion of the awarding ceremony, which coincided with the meeting. It can also be regarded as "witnessed by colleagues in the industry" and "awarded by a person of distinguished status".

Neither of them was thinking about this, and when they saw Martin who appeared out of nowhere, he had been waiting outside the ceremonial distance for a while, and decided to separate.

Kraft took a few steps and suddenly came back to his senses, "Wait, Professor Fernand, why do I remember that the invitation was conferred at an academic gathering?" That is, until the letter was written, the Duke felt that he was in good health? ”

Fernand was stunned, "Probably?" ”

Kraft's heart is about to suffer, and the course of the disease is incomplete, and it is difficult to imagine how to trace the time of onset next. I had to look for circumstantial evidence from Martin, who was approaching, "Martin, when did you set off?" ”

"About three months ago? The wind from the mouth of the Term River to the port of comfort is not in the right direction, and it is at least half a month slower than we came. ”

"Let's start three months ago, and ask Mr. Wilbert to recall that there were any more people or things around the Duke around this point in time that he hadn't been in contact with before."

In this way, Kraft used up the remaining half of the day. The fabrication was left to the craftsmen who had trouble with the hollow steel needles, leather tubes, and cylinders, and the finishing work was reduced to a series of entries that were handed over to the Wilbert Housekeeping Officer. The shopkeeper followed Martin to find his belated retinue, Koop and Yin Feng.

The two of them leisurely tasted the food on the banquet table, and did not bother in the next corridor, and drank the berry drink until the middle of the night, without waiting for Kraft to come back to receive the people. It wasn't until he was taken out of the hall by Martin's men that he set off at about the same time as Fernand, all the way to Westminburg.

Since it was early in the morning, I walked directly from the main gate of the urn city into the inner fort, and I didn't circle around the city wall, and I still haven't figured out where I am.
