Oran then opened a book in the room, entered the world within it, and wandered through it until he finally found a door with the word "Hospital" written on it.
When the door opened again, a book in the Dean's office also opened, indicating that Oran had completed this short-distance "teleportation".
"Crocas? You're actually here."
"Didn't you give me this position as dean? What's wrong with me being here?"
"No, I just thought you were resting at this time."
"The weather has been cold lately, and the number of patients has increased significantly."
"It's alright, you'll be relaxed soon. Notify the medical staff from the Drum Kingdom to gather in the conference room if there are no patients."
[Notice: All medical staff from the Drum Kingdom, please note that those without patients should assemble in the conference room in 20 minutes.]
His Majesty Sidi Lil has something to inform you all.
The old king's death is worthy of mourning, followed by a new talent recruitment campaign. According to the normal development of the original timeline, Wapol would have to wait a while before launching the doctor expulsion campaign.
But that doesn't stop us from preparing to poach talent now.
Many people arrived at the conference room one after another, including elderly people with gray hair and teenagers who looked like they were still minors.
There is no such thing as child labor here. If you are capable enough, it is not impossible for someone to start working at the age of ten.
These are all people from the Drum Kingdom. The shortest time they've been here is a few months, while the longest has been living here for over a decade.
"It is His Majesty Sidi Lir."
"This is the first time I've seen King Oran. He's so young! Wasn't he supposed to have been king for over a decade?"
"What are they trying to do? Are they going to expel us?"
Inside the meeting room, many people were whispering and discussing among themselves, while Oran himself sat in the main seat with his eyes closed, resting.
When the time was up, the conference room door closed, and Oran clapped his hands.
"Everyone, I've called you here today for nothing major. Are you satisfied with the treatment you've received since arriving here?"
They have no personal relationship or debt of gratitude to each other, so instead of arguing about principles, it's better to talk about their treatment.
Oran wasn't sure what the standards were for hospitals on the Grand Line, but in the end, he found that the standards were much higher than those on Firefly Island and Drum Country.
"Last night, the king of the Drum Kingdom passed away, and the new king is Wapol, whom you are all familiar with."
When it came to compensation, there were few objections. The compensation here is good enough and fair enough; whoever is wrong will be punished.
When encountering unreasonable and argumentative people, they won't push their subordinates out to take the blame.
Upon hearing that Wapol had ascended to the throne, the meeting room erupted in chaos.
The doctors who come here are probably connected to Vapol.
The top headhunter at Piltover Kingdom Hospital is none other than Wapol.
"Quiet, you can contact your relatives and friends in the Drum Kingdom. If they are willing to come here, there will be suitable positions and appropriate benefits."
As long as they possess genuine talent and skills, they will be granted citizenship directly. And you, as the introducers, will receive an extra year-end bonus. That's all I have to say; meeting adjourned.
The meeting time was even shorter than the assembly time, but it got straight to the point. Those who had firsthand experience knew best the difference between Piltover and the Drum Kingdom.
Putting everything else aside, just considering the environment alone, Autumn Island is more suitable for living than Winter Island.
Moreover, they knew Wapol's character, and with Wapol's help, it would be difficult for Piltover not to prosper.
Countless biosignals flew toward Drum Island after the meeting, and on Drum Island, Wapol's face showed no sadness, but rather an excitement of having gained power, and he began to issue numerous orders.
Vapol's idea was to create stricter laws to govern the people.
Moreover, many of the orders seem utterly incomprehensible to others.
For example, his newly issued order announced a complete break with Piltover.
"Your Majesty, Prince Wapol, this is absolutely forbidden!"
"Yes, Your Majesty Vapol, this is not good for us. The relationship that the late king worked so hard to maintain cannot be severed just like that."
Dalton and several other ministers were stunned when they heard the news. Piltover was at its peak, and countries with no conflict of interest were trying their best to establish contact with it.
As a result, after Wapol came to power, he wanted to sever the original relationship.
"Hmph, what's the benefit? Is it taking in those lowly people I've banished, or attracting my doctors to work for him?"
"Your Majesty Vapol, we should improve the doctors' compensation to attract them to stay; this is something we can't stop them from doing."
"Then issue a new order: citizens of the Drum Kingdom are forbidden from leaving the country without permission; unauthorized departure is a serious crime. I'm only managing my own citizens, not him. Does that guy think he can just attack us directly?"
Wapol was still a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. He simply restricted his own people. After all, they were all member states, and Wapol didn't think the other side would attack directly.
