It has been 5 days since then and Razlov's recruitment has been going well, he had already managed to recruit almost all the personnel that he needed except for a person with medical knowledge. And during that time, many have applied and they are all claiming or saying that they know how to treat people. Since Razlov has little to none medical background, he simply asks a simple question 'how to treat someone that has been wounded' and many of them answered the same:

”Get a potion from an alchemist”

”Grind some herb and apply it to the wound then wrap it with cloth or bandage”

That was how most of them have replied when the 'alchemist' word was mentioned Razlov thought about whether the alchemist they were talking about was the same with those he knows back from his previous life but didn't bother with anymore and throw it in the back of his mind. As for the 2nd answer, it was the right thing to do if it was in an emergency situation and there's no one who knows how to treat it properly but from a doctor's standpoint it was not how to properly treat a wound as you have to cleanse it first before you use herbs or medicine and apply it to the wound. Most of the applicants answered the question like that but there was someone who answered the question that it was so ridiculous.

”How to treat a wound?... it's simple, just throw a spit on it and would heal in no time, Ohh, and the most effective way is to piss on the wound”

Razlov almost burst out in laughter when he heard that but he managed to hold it in and his mouth was twitching from trying to hold his laughter. He then asks the person, what is it in spit and in piss that could heal wounds and the answer was 'Nature's Miracle' it was then when Razlov reach his limit and burst into laughter, even after a while he was still laughing as he sends the person off. But that's not all as there was also some rude ones.

”Treating a wound?... why should I tell you? And even if I did tell you, you wouldn't understand it anyway cause your ignorant”

Pissed at what the man said, Razlov almost shot the guy dead with his gun(Desert Eagle)but he restrains himself. It was clearly visible that the man doesn't know a thing and is only pretending that he has medical knowledge. And just like that, Razlov's days pass without anyone applying with proper knowledge about medicine.

'Sigh, It seems like waiting doesn't gonna work and I have to seek it for myself' and so Razlov starts to wander around the town asking if there's a doctor or someone who treats those with illness and the wounded.

Even after asking and wandering the whole town for a day, he still didn't get the answer he was looking for and all he got was a reply that point to an alchemist or potion which indicate that there is no doctor in this town. And the 'alchemist' word come out again making him confused about what is it with alchemist and treatment.

So Razlov went to Selina to clarify the things he did not understand.

”Well, usually when people got sick or wounded they just have to go see an alchemist. If a person is sick the alchemist will first check the patients to find what kind of illness they have and the alchemist will tell you what kind of potion to be taken in to cure the illness. For the wounded, they just need to buy a potion and pour it into the wound then wrap it with cloth or bandage and drink it for better effect”

Razlov could only furrow his brows at Selina's explanation.

”What if the wound is fatal?” Razlov was starting to get worried about this world's health care.

”That will depend on your luck, you just need to keep applying potion until it heals”
