Live Stream: I Am A Lord In Another World

“Lord, the prisoners have been managed, and the next step will involve more detailed sorting.”

Outside Florencia City, Grand Legion Commander Jim reported to Richard.

Richard looked at the more than two thousand prisoners and said, “Good, have Fred assist you.”

Jim respectfully replied, “Yes, my lord!”

Richard added, “Have all the wounded soldiers go to the medical center for treatment.”

“Yes, my lord!”

Afterward, Richard, Mia, and Dorothy left.

The medical field in this world was quite underdeveloped. Richard had set up a medical center in the city.

Originally, there was only one doctor in his territory, but later he found several more doctors among the refugees.

Of course, saying they were doctors was somewhat of an exaggeration. These doctors had even believed in practices like bloodletting for healing.

However, they still knew more than the average person.

Richard provided some training for them and bought some medical books from the online store for them to read.

One old doctor was quite stubborn, always sticking to his old methods.

For such stubborn individuals, Richard simply expelled them from the medical center and did not allow them to practice in the city.

The other doctors who were willing to cooperate were offered high wages.

Now, the doctors at the medical center, after learning about medical knowledge from another world, were thoroughly fascinated.

These doctors could now perform basic wound care for the injured.

In fact, as long as the injuries weren’t severe, ordinary cuts could heal on their own with proper disinfection, anti-inflammatory treatment, and some antibiotics.

Additionally, Richard had set up a specialized nurse training class at the school.

However, they were training male nurses.

In this world, societal views are naturally different from another world, and currently, no one would likely sign up for a female nurse training program.

With electricity now available, Richard planned to purchase some new teaching equipment.

For instance, projectors.

Richard could have the teaching materials needed for the projectors downloaded onto a USB drive and sent along with the projectors.

If necessary, he would pay extra to the suppliers.

Well, if something can be solved with money, it’s not really a problem.

On the other side, Count Zane had already entered the city.

As soon as he arrived, he was noticed by some nobles.

“Count Zane!”

Soon, the nobles gathered around, surrounding Count Zane with concerns and pleasantries.

Count Zane held a significant position in the northeastern region, so ordinary barons and viscounts, upon seeing him, would generally come over and flatter him.

The enthusiasm of these nobles made Count Zane, who had just been charged 200 gold coins by Richard, feel like he was indeed a count.

“Stop crowding around. Count Zane is injured and needs to heal quickly. Does anyone know where there’s a clinic in the city?” Sir John said.

“A clinic? I know, I know.”

The nobles quickly offered to show the way.

The soldiers carried Count Zane toward the clinic.

“This city looks quite nice.”

Count Zane began to observe Richard’s city.

The streets were wide and orderly, with no visible trash and a very smooth surface, making it appear as if it were a single unit.

“What is this surface made of?”

Count Zane was intrigued by the cement pavement.

Sir John, standing on the cement surface, also felt quite surprised and uncertainly said, “Probably stone?”

“It doesn’t seem like stone; there aren’t stones this neat, but perhaps it’s a type of stone we haven’t seen before.”

Count Zane was completely baffled.

Although he didn’t understand, both Count Zane and Sir John, as well as the over a hundred soldiers surrounding them, were deeply impressed.

“I’ve heard it’s something called cement.”

At this point, a noble spoke up.

“Cement?”

The unfamiliar term left Count Zane and the others even more confused.

The noble nodded and said, “Yes, I’ve heard that the buildings in this city are all made with cement. Cement can make two pieces of stone stick together completely, which is quite impressive.”

Hearing this, Count Zane and Sir John were even more amazed!

After examining the ground, Count Zane looked at the surrounding buildings.

The houses around the Florencia Avenue were tall and orderly, painted white with red tiles, looking both beautiful and distinctive, far surpassing the buildings in Stone Fort City!

Stone Fort City was quite decent under Count Zane’s administration, but once inside the city, it inevitably appeared dirty and dilapidated.

Many people in this world lacked public hygiene awareness. Some even dumped their foot-washing water directly onto the streets.

However, there was not a single piece of trash around any of the buildings.

“What’s that?”

At this moment, Count Zane spotted a square object.

“Count, that’s a trash can. Littering here is fined. Also, spitting is not allowed; if caught, there’s a fine as well. Commoners are fined 10 copper coins, and nobles are fined 1 silver coin!”

A noble explained.

Hearing this, a soldier following Count Zane quickly swallowed a mouthful of spit.

“Such high fines? Aren’t people unhappy about it?”

Count Zane was quite surprised.

The noble replied, “It doesn’t seem so. People in this city are very self-disciplined. Many even go to the library every day to study!”

“A library?”

Count Zane was again surprised, not expecting Richard’s city to have such high-end facilities.

The noble said, “Yes, Count. The library has too many books, and many of them look very interesting. However, it seems Lord Richard is particularly hard on nobles. Commoners can enter the library for free, but we have to get a monthly card for 1 silver coin!”

Thinking about the 200 gold coins he had been charged, Count Zane found this amusing and asked, “Are there any special benefits for paying?”

The noble replied, “There is a bit. Ordinary commoners can’t access the third floor of the library, but we can.”

Count Zane said, “That’s how it should be.”

As they talked, Count Zane noticed a street lamp.

The street lamps were in a retro style, looking quite exquisite.

Soon, he saw that such street lamps were spaced at regular intervals, arranged neatly, adding a considerable aesthetic appeal.

“What are these? Decorative items?”

Count Zane asked.

To him, such beautiful street lamps must be city decorations.

The price of these decorations must be considerable, and the fact that they were everywhere in Richard’s city gave Count Zane the impression that his wealth was quite impressive.

“Count, these are not decorations. They are called street lamps and light up at night.”

A noble explained.

“Street lamps?”

The term made Count Zane feel unfamiliar.

The noble continued, “Yes, when I first arrived, I thought they were decorations too, but they light up at night and illuminate a large area. It’s quite magical. By the way, there are also such lamps in our room; just press a switch and they light up. It’s amazing!”

Even though he had been in Florencia City for a while, the noble still spoke with wonder about the lights, finding them extraordinarily magical.

Another noble added, “Yes, Count, to be honest, before coming here, I thought Westgar City was the most beautiful city I had seen. But after coming here, I feel like Westgar City is just a rural town.”

These two nobles’ remarks prompted agreement from the other nobles.

“Indeed, after arriving in this city, I feel like a country bumpkin!”

After fleeing to Florencia City, the nobles might have had some objections to Richard’s asylum fee on the first day, but by the second day, all complaints and frustrations were completely forgotten.

To these nobles, Richard’s city seemed like paradise.

The delicious foods they had never tasted before, and numerous things they had never seen or heard of, captured all their attention.

The houses they lived in on Richard’s territory, although not as large as their own castles, felt a hundred times more comfortable than living in those grand castles!

As a result, the nobles eagerly talked about all the amazing things they had encountered in Richard’s city.

Count Zane listened attentively, occasionally asking questions. Although he had only recently entered the city, he could already sense the exceptional nature of Richard’s city.

Amidst the chattering of the nobles, they soon arrived at the city’s medical center.

Richard hadn’t yet named it a hospital, as the facilities were still incomplete, and the doctors there seemed to him only semi-skilled.

The medical center was large, with a spacious hall right at the entrance. A lamp was shining from the ceiling of the hall.

“Count, look over there! That’s the lamp!”

A noble quickly pointed it out.

Count Zane was instantly captivated by the lamp!

Sir John, next to Count Zane, was also amazed, staring intently at the lamp.

“It’s indeed very magical!”

After observing for a while, Count Zane finally shifted his gaze and said, “Now I also feel like a country bumpkin!”

Count Zane couldn’t help but express his amazement. He felt a deep curiosity about Richard.

In fact, he wasn’t alone in his curiosity. The surrounding nobles were also intrigued.

However, everyone had a natural tendency for imagination.

Since Richard had previously claimed that the glass cups he sold were brought from an eastern country, these nobles now assumed that all the wondrous things in Richard’s city must have been imported from the mysterious East.

Well, it was indeed from the East. But not the East of this world.

In the medical center, Count Zane was quickly treated.

He had an arrow wound; after removing the arrow, the wound was disinfected, treated with anti-inflammatory agents, and bandaged.

The medicines used were ones Richard had purchased from the online store.

After treating the wound, the doctor informed Count Zane of some precautions and prescribed some anti-inflammatory and antibiotic medications.

Now, most medicines could be bought online, including prescription drugs.

Richard had bought a large quantity of medicine at once, and the seller had given him significant discounts and preferential treatment.

“This doctor seems very professional!”

After the treatment, a somewhat weak Count Zane commented.

The treatment methods used by the doctor were different from those he had previously encountered, and the instruments and medicines were also completely different.

However, Count Zane felt quite comfortable. Although the wound still hurt, the discomfort from the infection was completely gone.

The wound now felt clean and fresh, and he felt it would heal quickly!

“Doctor, where are you from? Your medical skills are excellent.”

Count Zane couldn’t help but talk.

The doctor was relatively young, only in his thirties, and responded, “Everything I know now was taught by the lord. By the way, Count, the total is 50 gold coins.”

Count Zane was stunned: “What, 50 gold coins?”

The doctor explained, “The treatment fee. As per the lord’s instructions, I used quite a few valuable medicines for you, so the charge is 50 gold coins.”

“That’s so expensive!”

Sir John couldn’t help but remark.

Even though Count Zane’s arrow wound wasn’t minor, 50 gold coins was quite high compared to the medical fees of this world.

“John, pay the amount.”

Count Zane was quite straightforward.

He felt that everything he had seen and experienced in Richard’s city was worth more than 50 gold coins!

Moreover, the doctor had saved his life.

Most importantly, Richard made Count Zane feel like he was a real goldmine!

However, Count Zane had a keen eye for people. He sensed that Richard was not a traditional noble.

From his attitude during their conversation—neither overbearing nor servile—Count Zane could tell that his title of Count probably wouldn’t bring any additional advantage in their interaction with Richard.

“I do have a daughter studying in the royal capital…”

Count Zane suddenly thought of this.

In such a short time, he had even considered using a marriage alliance to win Richard over!

However, he quickly felt that if he proposed such an alliance, Richard would likely ignore it.

Although he had only met Richard briefly, he sensed that this person was not someone who could be swayed by such means.

If it were another noble, Count Zane’s proposal of a marriage alliance would surely be welcomed.

“Count Zane, would you like to rest at my place?”

At that moment, a noble’s voice called out.

“Or you could come to my place; I have a lot of space.”

Another noble extended an invitation.

Count Zane replied, “No need, just show me around the city.”

“But Count Zane, your injury?”

Sir John reminded him.

“It’s fine; I don’t have to walk!”

Count Zane said.

“Lord, you can get a wheelchair; the lord specifically had me bring one out for you.”

At this point, the doctor spoke up.

“A wheelchair?”

Count Zane was somewhat surprised.

The doctor then brought out a wheelchair.

The wheelchair was neither too expensive nor too cheap, costing a few hundred yuan each. Richard had prepared several of them in the medical center for use by heavily injured soldiers from the war.

Additionally, if anyone wanted to buy one, he was also happy to sell.

“Your Excellency can try it out first,” the doctor said.

So, a few soldiers, under the doctor’s guidance, placed Count Zane into the wheelchair.

Then the doctor pushed the wheelchair a few steps, and Count Zane’s face immediately brightened with a smile. “This is great! How much is it?”

“50 gold coins,” the doctor replied.

Nearby, Sir John’s eyes widened again.

However, Count Zane was quite satisfied. “I’ll buy it!”

Sir John had no choice but to obediently hand over the money.

Thus, Richard successfully made a profit of over a hundred times.

Earning money from nobles was so easy!

After getting the wheelchair, Count Zane immediately had himself wheeled around the city.

Everything in the city felt incredibly novel and magical to him. He occasionally made sounds of amazement, turning a Count into a country bumpkin in his own way.

Meanwhile, Richard returned to his castle with Mia and Dorothy…

“Lord, a woman in a silver cloak is asking to see you. She says she met you last time.”

Shortly after Richard returned to the castle, he received this report from his subordinate.

“A woman in a silver cloak?”

Richard thought of the half-elf girl he had seen last time.

“Let her in.”

Soon, a woman in a silver cloak with a veil covering her face appeared in the castle’s reception room.

She was indeed the half-elf girl Richard had seen last time.

“Lord Richard, we meet again. I want to thank you for selling me those compressed biscuits last time.”

The girl in the silver cloak said.

She already knew his name.

Richard looked at her and said, “I still don’t know your name.”

The girl in the silver cloak replied, “You can call me Lacey.”

“Lacey.”

Richard repeated the name lightly and then said, “Please, have a seat!”
