Seeing more might be helpful when rescuing Brother Andrew, as it could increase his chances in a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the east of the Redstone Tribe was the White Birch Tribe, whose totem god was a birch tree—or rather, a grove of birch trees. They worshipped it, held ceremonies for it, and even stripped its bark and hollowed out tree holes to collect birch sap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their specialty was making canoes out of birch wood. Every adult man had to own his own canoe to qualify for starting a family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this tribe was also troubled by the plague, their situation was much better than that of the Redstone Tribe. Garrett saw that when they prayed in the birch grove, the birch leaves would shake, responding with familiar natural power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, it seems that different totem gods have different essences and thus can invoke different powers. Garrett savored the divine power inspired by the birch trees, deeply feeling that many of the divine spells of the God of Nature's Church might come from similar sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, perhaps the difference lies in the fact that the God of Nature's Church worships oak trees, so the nature of their power is slightly different? After all, oak trees are solid, sturdy, and painful to be hit with...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ouch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garrett clutched his forehead in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since reaching level 9, this oak staff—this living oak tree—had been transmitting more and more knowledge to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did it have the inheritance condensed from the oak tree it originated from, but Garrett suspected that the many oak trees in the Aeolan heritage land had also packed relevant content into it, teaching its new master whenever possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was that this oak staff had gotten increasingly bad-tempered. Whenever something was wrong, it would extend a few roots, supporting the trunk to jump up high and hit Garrett.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its staff form, the hard trunk and rough bark really hurt when it hit someone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve changed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are no longer the tender, green little oak staff that fit so snugly in my hand when you were first sprouted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, despite his cries of pain, Garrett still performed his duties as a doctor well—removing diseases, vaccinating against smallpox, and educating about infectious diseases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Birch Tribe was larger than the Redstone Tribe, and there were many more seriously ill patients. Garrett almost exhausted all his divine spells, and even the Silver Moon Deer came to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Silver Moon Deer, covered in shimmering white light, walked in slowly, even the seriously ill patients lying on the ground struggled to get up and press their foreheads to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garrett was quite shocked. Then, when he brought the token representing “friendship” from the White Birch Tribe to the next tribe, he instantly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next tribe was the Reindeer Tribe… Besides growing corn, pumpkins, and beans, they also raised a large herd of deer for meat and fur…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, did the White Birch Tribe think he brought the sacred deer of the Reindeer Tribe to help them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garrett soon found out that his guess was also wrong. The Reindeer Tribe warmly received them and requested their help—healers were incredibly effective during a plague outbreak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Garrett finished casting his healing spells, the Reindeer Tribe invited him to join their festival…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Follow me this way.” The tribe leader and the high shaman, dressed in deer hide robes, wearing antlers with at least nine points, and with a long string of white shells hanging from their chest, warmly invited the group to follow them. The Silver Moon Deer uneasily pawed the ground, then turned and ran away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the view of the [Detection Spell], those white shells hardly glowed and were much less impressive compared to the nearby gems and amber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the distance from here to the coast, Garrett roughly understood that these shells were rare treasures used to display wealth and status—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They carried torches through the woods, walking straight ahead, entering a deep valley. At the entrance of the valley, tall tree trunks intertwined to form a fence over three people high:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is where we raise reindeer.” The high shaman of the Reindeer Tribe introduced enthusiastically:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In winter, we lay down dry grass here, sometimes adding some salt, and the reindeer come on their own to eat. Then, we close the gate, and we have a herd of reindeer that lasts until summer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked along the mountain wall until they reached the end of the valley, which suddenly turned a small corner, revealing a small meadow. Cirilla exclaimed in surprise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a crevice in the valley flowed a warm spring, winding into a stream. The grass watered by the spring was still a bit green at this time. On the grass, a particularly clean and graceful stag wandered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the incarnation of our Deer God!” the high shaman announced loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every year, we select the most beautiful stag from the herd and raise it here alone! Besides caring for the people and predicting future disasters, the shaman’s duty is to look after the incarnation of the Deer God!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We honor it! We worship it! We provide it with the clearest spring water, the tenderest wild grass, and the sweetest fruits! We bathe it, groom it, and accompany it on walks to keep it happy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, hmm, hmm… Garrett maintained a stiff smile and nodded slightly. You honor the Deer God like this… but have you considered that deer have a natural lifespan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they don’t transform into sacred deer, no matter how well you raise them, they will eventually die one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait… you said “choose one every year,” so what happened to the previous deer?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, it is time for us to send the incarnation of the Deer God to its heavenly kingdom!” The high shaman of the Reindeer Tribe waved his hand, and several warriors immediately rushed forward, carrying the stag out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the tribe’s settlement, they pinned the stag down, slit its throat, and drained the blood…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honorable Deer God!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your incarnation has accompanied us for a whole year, watching over us with your eyes for an entire year!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Garrett's shocked gaze, the high shaman, along with two young shaman apprentices, struck the deer skin drum and sang in unison:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We follow your teachings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We walk your path!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We tread lightly in the wilderness like you, without harming the forests and valleys!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May you watch over us, bless us, and may your warm power reside in our bodies forever!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they sang, the warriors, bare-chested, swung their weapons and danced around. Meanwhile, the women of the tribe, led by elderly matrons, skinned the deer, cleaned the organs, divided the meat, and set up large pots to cook…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the singing and dancing ended, the high shaman took a birchwood bowl filled with deer blood from the eldest woman, respectfully presenting it to Garrett:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honored shaman from afar! You have healed our people, making you our brother. Please accept the blessing of the Deer God with us, so his power will always be with you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garrett was completely at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Table of content-Next Chapter >>>\u003C\u002Fp>",1282,"2026-05-30T13:39:47.206Z","2026-06-01T04:31:21.864Z",1,"novelbin.me","547a4bfd74b4d7b3b276e0fefd005c6605211adcc7fd61e494c97ab8fd12f4d8","a-hospital-in-another-world-chapter-915","a-hospital-in-another-world-chapter-913",925,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-hospital-in-another-world-cover.jpg"]
