Chapter 1279 The Inviolable Destiny (First Update)
Stephen Strange wanted an excuse to talk to the Emperor about Mordo's gunshot wound and seek advanced medical help, but the matter was never spoken. Kama Taj is not an isolated place. He can access the Internet and watch news here. He knows who the emperor is and what earth-shattering things he has done (such as causing the U.S. stock market to plummet). However, these are not reasons to stop him from seeking help. . He would not have come to Kamal Taj if he had not abandoned all his pride. This is because of some special reasons, out of a simple sense of justice and social morality, Stephen Strange decided never to talk about the topic of medical assistance.
The side of Wakanda shown to the world is very advanced, but not everyone can enjoy such advanced benefits. No one will agree to Stephen Strange, because he is nothing, and no one will do it for him. Paid for nothing. The newly established Latovinia took over the poor who could not afford medical treatment from many hospitals that failed in market transformation. The government issued an IOU to Wakanda to purchase medical equipment and medicines, and Wakanda helped Latovinia with medical treatment. Although the system has been reformed and the hospital's software and hardware have been integrated, there are still many people in worse situations than him who are struggling between life and death.
Originally, this part of the expenditure was not budgeted in Latvinia's newly established medical welfare system, but the emperor was an idealist, and he persuaded the regent to pilot this policy in the poorest Albania, eradicating slums, establishing heavy industry, and eradicating While destroying religious sites to build schools, they also paid a huge sum of money to pay for the salaries of doctors dispatched to Wakanda and the loss of medical equipment.
For those former officials and gangsters who once sucked the blood of Albanians, money deposited in Swiss banks is not safe. Latvinia has many ways to take it out, even if it is converted into business investment, which is what artificial intelligence does. OK. However, only a few have access to fully advanced medical care, because the medical system must take care of everyone, especially the increasing number of Albanians who are leaving religion and embracing industry - the Latvian government is much better than Hoxha, who once ruled Albania. The methods are more radical, because the emperor believes that morality should return to simple justice, unity should return to pure ideals, and hard work should be for the purpose of creating your own future life, rather than for the sake of old dogma that restricts production and life. Therefore, superstition and gangsters have gained equal status. treat.
After banishing turbans, dietary taboos, daily rituals that delayed production and highly unhygienic food safety procedures, and destroying the masonry of the temples with artillery, melta and explosives, Latovinia brought with it the steel industry, Refineries, large-scale state-owned biochemical farms, special textile factories, cash crops, secular schools, professional hospitals and other facilities serve as substitutes. These workers and farmers need complete medical protection to protect them from a lifetime of work.
Only in Kamal Taj is Stephen Strange nothing. Even in the outside world, when he became destitute because he was penniless and unable to pay off his loans, there were still people willing to pay for his knowledge. As long as he swallowed his pride, the papers he had written in the past could get him a job at some prestigious university. Visiting professor at the School of Medicine. But in this closed academy wrapped in countless magic spells in the Himalayas, he was just a stupid apprentice and an annoying troublemaker. With only a little bit of impressive talent and memory, he struggled to explore in the vast sea of books. Searching aimlessly for any possible way to heal myself.
If Stephen Strange were to be completely cured, the cost of his treatment would be so high that it would take an entire small rural hospital to treat all the seriously ill patients, or drain the health insurance funds of ten senior heavy industry workers, unless he If you want to spend the rest of your life with a palm equipped with a flexible alloy bracket and artificial neural links, and have to pay for maintenance and replacement parts throughout your life, it would be cheaper. Compared with bringing those people back from the line of life and death or saving the disabled hands of a neurosurgeon, which one is more important? Even Stephen Strange himself knew that he could not ask the emperor to give up payment because of his identity. A cancer patient's conscience cannot allow him to exchange the cost of targeted therapy drugs for an operation.
"Don't get yourself into trouble anymore." The emperor put away his pistol, making Stephen Strange breathe a long sigh of relief. "You violate the commandments of Kama Taj - more commonly known as safety regulations - you You will really die. You are very likely to be scraped off the wall bit by bit, and your brain may open your skull and escape. You are extremely lucky to be alive now. Mordo's goal is to make all apprentices alive Come down, so it’s understandable that he would be stricter.”
"Stop threatening me. You have threatened me many times." Stephen Strange said angrily. "When did I not learn my lesson?"
"I'm not threatening you, I'm just telling you the consequences of being reckless." The emperor looked at him from the corner of his eye, his expression hidden with deep meaning. "There are people in history who have done the same thing as you, and then they died, but you are still alive. I'm curious, if I just shot you in the head, what are the plans of those who support you? What would happen if I shot you in the head? Will the bullets I have repeatedly checked and predicted turn out to be genuine duds? I think the real decision-making power is still in my hands, do you understand?"
"You're threatening me again. Is there no other way to teach in this damn place?" Stephen Strange didn't realize at all that the emperor's last words were not meant for him, but for the outer dimension that sheltered him. The creature said it. "Can't you just point out which book you can learn healing magic from? I heard Modu say that you can heal magic, and you can cure gunshot wounds. As long as you tell me which book contains it, I will learn it myself - I promise not to violate any safety regulations, and I can even have someone supervise if that person is available.”
"There is no magic in this world that can cure you, Stephen. Even if you can learn it, you can't use it on yourself until you truly understand what magic and extradimensionality are." The former surgeon heard a hint of it from the emperor's tone. Sad, this feeling was very similar to when he heard other doctors announcing the remaining life span to their patients, which made him panic all of a sudden. "You are never the master of your own destiny. In order for you to be here, the destiny behind the curtain has given you the opportunity to go to medical school, a healthy body, a talent for surgery, and a mercenary character. All of this is for Let you have enough money to buy a sports car, let you be arrogant enough to cause a car accident, and what you think is talent is actually just a prelude to fate asking for the bill."
The emperor sighed, "I know this is absurd, but the reality is even more absurd. People who come here from the outside world each have their own destiny. Some are like you because they are desperate, and some are sent in because they are too talented. Mental hospital. Everyone here has never had their own destiny, and the Kama Taj we formed is to prevent such things from happening again, so that any human being can become the master of his own destiny."
Stephen Strange originally wanted to say that he was just trying to heal his hand, but now that he was no longer as poor and hungry as he was on the streets of Kathmandu, and his self-esteem returned after eating, he couldn't say no. Such selfish words. "What about Jonathan Byrne?" he said, referring to the man who had guided him here, gently reminding the emperor that he did not want to take on such responsibility. "Is he also destined by fate?"
"Have you ever thought that the reason why he was injured, the reason why he found Kamal Taj, and the reason why the Supreme Mage treated him was to tell you at a certain point in time that there is Kamal Taj in this world, and then guide you there? to here?"
