With calm steps, Zack reached the upper floor. Upon entering the second floor, he found a door behind him and a long hallway with a door on each side that led to two different rooms. At the end, there was a staircase that probably led to the attic.
Zack opened the door next to him and entered the room. Seeing what was there, Zack knew that he was in the bedroom. The main room is spacious and has a sturdy wooden bed with curtains blocking the light coming in from the windows.
On one side of the bed is a small nightstand with an oil lamp. Next to the door is a wooden wardrobe, and an oval mirror sits in the corner.
Zack searched the drawers and the closet, but except for some clothes Zack suspected were from the former doctor, there was nothing else there.
(At least I won't have to keep the spell on my clothes anymore) he thought sadly, knowing he would have to burn his uniform today. Zack took the clothes out of the closet and examined them slowly.
It must be said that the old doctor had style. Unlike the linen clothes most town residents wore, the closet was filled with clothes with a more comfortable texture. Zack couldn't identify the material they were made of, but they all had the same purpose: to be functional.
In the closet were also leather clothes, which protected all parts of his body. If Zack had to bet, he would say that those were the clothes that the previous doctor used to go into the forest to look for herbs.
After observing that there was nothing else worthwhile, Zack left the bedroom and began to explore the rest of the rooms. He opened the door to the room on the right and went inside.
It was too dark inside, so Zack opened one of the curtains to let in the daylight.
In front of him was a wooden dresser and an antique desk with some instruments on it. Among them was a mortar, rolling pin, and some jars with unknown substances. Behind the door was a mannequin that imitated the human body.
Evidently, this was the doctor's laboratory where he prepared his medinas.
When he opened the desk drawers, a shiver ran down his spine. In one of the drawers were all kinds of iron instruments Zack couldn't recognize. Although they may have been operating tools, they looked like part of a torture set.
Zack quickly closed that drawer and prepared to take a look at the others.
(Oh. What do we have here?) Zack thought. To his surprise, in one of the drawers was a very bulky notebook. After settling into the chair, Zack took out the notebook and began to read.
The room was silent, only interrupted by the sound of pages turning. The sun was beginning to set on the horizon when Zack finished reading.
One hour. It took an hour to read and memorize the content. It must be said that Zack´s advantages since he was summoned to this world, are considerable.
There were two reasons it took him so long:
The first is that the content of the book was somewhat complicated. Although one of his titles allows him to read and understand the books he has read, the more complicated the book is, the longer it will take him to finish it.
The second reason is that it was not a magic book. Zack isn't sure of the exact reason, but for anything related to his class, he can learn it quickly. His other companions also had this advantage. The only drawback is that this doesn't apply to things outside the boundaries of his class. Zack already verified this in people when he read the magic books intended for the tier 2 class.
If it weren't for these two reasons, Zack would have read the notebook in five minutes. Still, he was very pleased with what he found.
(Thank goodness the old doctor had something like that) Zack thought as he closed the book and put it in his place. Afterward, he got up from the chair and began to stretch his body. It is not good to remain in the same position for a long time.
The book that was in the drawer was a recipe book. It detailed the ingredients, effects, and preparation of multiple medicines. From ointments to potions with minor effects. They weren't too many prescriptions, nor extraordinarily powerful, but with this knowledge, if he's careful, Zack can pass as a doctor.
Zack left the room in a good mood and headed towards the last door. The moment he opened it, Zack stopped dead in the doorway. It had already gotten dark, so you couldn't see the interior well. Zack moved a finger, and a sphere of light appeared, illuminating the room.
…
News travels quickly, even more so in small places where everyone knows everyone. While Zack was exploring his new home, the townspeople were talking about the new addition to town: the mysterious Doctor Matthew.
Within an hour of him leaving town hall, the entire town knew Matthew had become the town's new doctor.
Whether they were families, friends, or neighbors, everyone talked about the new doctor. Some were relieved that the town had a doctor again, and others were just curious, but not everyone could like you.
In one of the many taverns in the city, customers drank, laughed, and enjoyed the atmosphere while talking about the things that had happened today.
“Hey, have you heard the news? Apparently, a new doctor has arrived in town"
"And what it matters? It's not like anyone is going to stay in a place like this"
"Do not be so sure. My father-in-law works at the city hall, and he told me the mayor spent a long time talking to him in his office. I'm sure he convinced him to stay. Otherwise, that old man wouldn't have let him leave his office"
“Ugh. Why did you have to talk about the mayor? You made me remember that time Tommy wanted to leave"
“Hahaha. I still remember that. They argued for three days. If it weren't for the fact that they reached an agreement, poor Tommy would still be in the mayor's office"
"Nothing can be done. After all, Tomas is the only blacksmith in town. Luckily, the mayor found him a wife, or else he would have left. The truth is that I have no idea how he did it. Tommy´s face only a mother could love”
The members of the table began to laugh at the expense of the town blacksmith. Thank goodness the man in question wasn't here. If that had been the case, a fight would have occurred. After laughing a little, they continued with their conversation
“Still, I hope the doctor is better than the last one” said one of the men.
"Me too. I still remember the last time I went to see the doctor for my back pain, and he prescribed a strange concoction that only made things worse” his partner supported.
"Eh? Oh, really? “I don't remember him being that bad” said the third, scratching his head.
“That's because you never went to the doctor. Don't you know that idiots never get sick?”
"What have you said?! Repeat it if you dare, coward!"
“What did you call me?!"
The boss snorted at this, but he didn't stop them. There were very few distractions in this place. If he were to stop every person who did something stupid, he would end up exhausted in less than half an hour. Instead, he motioned for the waitress to stop them.
She murmured something under her breath before approaching the table. It was enough having to wear this uniform, and on top of that she had to deal with all the idiots who came into the bar, just because the boss was too scared to do it himself.
BAM
The sound of beer mugs hitting the table echoed through the room, but no one stopped to look. It was a familiar sight, after all.
“If you have so much free time, you better get to work! You haven't paid your tab yet. The boss told me that if you don't pay it all at the end of this month, he won't trust you anymore” the waitress said fiercely. Sadly, with her appearance, it could only be described as adorable. Even so, those three did not dare to ignore her, they knew that the threat was real.
“Don't be like that, Sarah"
“We work very hard in the mine every day”
“We will pay the bill when we get paid”
“We will not make a fuss”
"Bah! Get your faces away from me” she said as she left to attend to other customers who were waiting anxiously, leaving the beers on the table.
The three took their beers and drank them in silence, savoring them after a good day of work.
