Chapter 3609: Seeing the Magic Academy Again (Part )
With a "bang", champagne foam spurted out from the bottle, and the ribbons fell down. Everyone cheered.
Schiller, who was standing in the center, clapped with everyone, reached out to take off the ribbon in his hair, and then said: "Thanks to everyone's help, the second phase of the renovation of Arkham Sanatorium is completed!"
There was another round of warm applause. All the doctors, nurses, patients and Schiller's friends cheered.
"Thank you, thank you very much!" Schiller shook hands with them one by one, moved among the crowd, and then greeted people who were farther away with a smile.
When it was Stark's turn, he winked at the side. Schiller walked over, and Stark snorted again and said, "I've never received a call to your office these days. I thought you had forgotten about Morgan Jr.'s birthday party."
"How is that possible!" Schiller said, "I have specially marked the key points on various calendar software. There is no way I will forget. Don't you want to visit the new decoration style of the sanatorium?"
"Come on, there's nothing to see in a nursing home. It's no big deal for me to find you, but Stephen went to the clinic twice and couldn't find you. He looks like he has something urgent. You'd better go ask him."
"Well, I hope nothing has happened to the magic defense network again."
Schiller glanced out at the lawn. Strange was talking to Peter with a glass of wine in his hand.
The sun was shining brightly in New York today, and the grass was green and soft. When the wind blew past, the newly paved ground exuded a fresh scent of soil.
The renovation of Arkham Sanatorium has been completed. Most of the places have been renovated, but the overall structure has not been changed much. Only the style of the interior hard and soft furnishings has been adjusted to correct some of the problems of the previous design.
In recent years, naturalism has become popular in the architectural decoration industry. Compared with the modernist style when the sanatorium was first built, more natural elements are used, such as more flower beds, plant walls, hanging pot plants, and wooden panels, vine patterns, fabric crafts, etc.
In order to adjust the mood of patients, the public activity room was specially converted into red clay walls, combined with wooden furniture and a large number of plants, to create a natural and relaxing atmosphere.
The layout of Schiller's office has not changed, it still has two floors. However, the hard decoration materials used before were all marble and metal. Now the first floor is paved with wooden floors, and the bookshelves and furniture are also replaced with wood. Although there are still many metal decorations on the second floor, they have been changed from more modern geometric shapes to curved and soft curve patterns.
In addition, most of the outdoor slate floors were replaced with lawns. A fountain was added to the small square in the atrium, and a children's swimming pool was added to the spa center in the back, all of which were changed to tropical decoration style.
Nowadays, nursing homes are more like resorts than hospitals, which is more in line with their original positioning, but it cannot be said that they have no medical effect. In addition to providing a placebo immortality factor, most emotional problems can be alleviated by changing to a better environment.
The majority of the current guests at Arkham Sanatorium are actually the children of the first batch of guests. As time goes by, most of the children of the guests who have already started their own families and careers have also entered adolescence.
Teenagers are prone to emotional problems, even if they come from wealthy families. Academic pressure, interpersonal relationships and relationships with their parents can cause them to have various emotional problems.
Schiller is an expert in treating such problems. When communicating with patients, he can often talk about family relationships and adolescent psychology. Clients are also happy to let him help mediate family relationships.
The teenagers currently admitted to Arkham Sanatorium all have relatively serious symptoms. For example, some suffer from depression because they are ostracized by their classmates at school, some suffer from anxiety disorders due to excessive parental expectations and excessive academic pressure, and some even commit suicide.
After staying here for a period of time, their conditions have improved somewhat. In addition to Schiller's regular and fixed-point treatment, the isolated environment of the sanatorium is also an indispensable condition for recovery.
The style of the newly renovated sanatorium was also determined by this. The modernist mansion style at the beginning was mainly to sell the placebo of immortality factor, but now that it has become a real sanatorium, it is better to be closer to nature. The natural style can effectively reduce people's psychological pressure and is more suitable for teenagers. The renovated sanatorium has received unanimous praise from all guests.
In fact, it was mainly because Schiller was well received by most of the adolescent patients here. The fees of the sanatorium were very expensive, and most of the parents who sent their children here paid enough money. This made Schiller very easy to talk to.
Not only would he install video game consoles in their rooms, buy them comic books, modify their cars or let them listen to punk bands, Schiller would even cook for them and help them write their papers.
When their parents question whether these actions are necessary, Schiller can also use his professional knowledge of psychology to convince them. Seeing that the children do recover faster, the customer satisfaction rate is also very high.
Schiller exchanged pleasantries with the people in the room and walked out the door. Peter was the first to see him coming and raised his glass to him. Schiller walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"How are you doing lately? I heard from Gwen that you went to the Andromeda Galaxy again."
"Yes, let's go over there and take a look." Peter smiled and said, "I mainly want to see the oversized brain wave amplifier."
"How's it? Isn't it cool?"
"To be honest, I don't really understand it. The shape is really cool, and it feels about the same size as the moon. The structure inside is very complicated. I don't know how Eric built it all by himself."
"The power of love is great." Schiller also said with a smile.
He then turned to Strange and said, "Tony said you've been to the clinic a few times in the past few days. Is there anything important?"
"It's not that important actually." Strange sighed softly and said, "After the opening of the Dou Realm, many people came to visit our universe. Most of them are most interested in the magic defense network. Many people want to learn this technology."
"Then let them learn. Anyway, the Earth in other universes has a magic defense network and it won't hinder us."
"It's not that easy." Strange rolled his eyes slightly and said, "What do you think the magic defense network is? Chocolate crisp balls? This is a mature magic system, the best and most technologically advanced thing that can be created. It's not something that anyone can imitate."
"So what are you going to do?" Schiller asked.
"In fact, there are two types of people who come to me. One type wants to learn, and the other type wants us to build it for them. But in fact, both types are similar, because they need their local magicians for later maintenance. But they don't have that many professional magicians. I mean magicians who can understand the defense network.
"In most universes... including the universe with Batman, their magicians have all kinds of weird skills, but most of them can only cause destruction and have nothing to do with the magic defense network. The knowledge they have learned is of no use in maintaining the defense network, and it will hinder the learning of new knowledge."
"what do you mean……"
"If they want to have a magic defense network as effective as ours, they have to train a new batch of wizards from scratch. But their local wizards themselves don't even understand what magic is, let alone train talents on a large scale."
Strange shook his head and said, "My idea is that we can ask them to send a group of children here to learn magic. After they have learned it, they can naturally build a magic defense network for their hometown."
"That's great. Isn't that what we did before?" Schiller said, "You worked as a professor at the Gotham School of Magic for a while, and some people from there came to study there. I see that the magic defense network there is running pretty well."
"That's the problem. Many people came to me this time, including several Batmans. Maybe they saw the magic defense network of the universe over there and traced it back to us."
"I think so too. Although the magic defense network over there is well maintained, when it comes to theoretical level and innovation, our birthplace is of course more advanced."
Schiller nodded, agreeing with Strange's point of view. Although Gotham School of Magic is the most advanced magic education system there, it is still not good enough compared to Marvel.
Perhaps it is essentially because DC's magic requirements are more stringent, and its overall energy level is relatively low and developed late. Even if there has been progress recently, it is certainly not as good as Kamar-Taj, which has been a cosmic evil force for many years under the leadership of the Ancient One.
Moreover, when it comes to the control and innovation of the magic defense network, they are not as good as Strange. If Constantine could still use magic, he might be able to catch up in theory, but now that he has changed his profession, the magic defense network of the other side remains at the usable stage.
But Marvel's is different. Strange's control and use of the magic defense network has reached a superb level. In addition to defending against all kinds of malicious beings inside and outside the earth, it can even further detect all energy fluctuations inside the earth. Even the work done by human technological products cannot escape his eyes.
It is not surprising that many people would like to have this technology. Strange is not stingy in sharing it, but it is too difficult to really reach this level.
Fortunately, you don't have to be at Strange's level to use it. As long as you put a shell on the earth, the safety factor will increase exponentially. It is especially suitable for all kinds of patients with paranoia and paranoia, a typical representative of which is Batman.
In fact, it can't be said that they are worrying too much. After all, no matter which universe it is, the earth is full of disasters. They are simply afraid of disasters. They don't expect this shell to withstand a big disaster. It can keep those small troubles out, which is a big help.
However, what puzzled Schiller was that it was Kamar-Taj's business to recruit students from all over the multiverse. With Strange around, Schiller hardly needed to worry about the affairs of the magic world. The two had reached a tacit understanding a long time ago that Strange's return to Strange was not a big change, and Schiller would not care.
"I mean, Kamar-Taj can't accept so many students." Strange touched his cheek gently and said, "We have used the space expansion magic to the limit, but it's a bit difficult to accommodate all these students now."
"Then can't you charge less? ...Okay, I know it's hard to convince Batman to give up. What are you going to do?"
"I think we should also set up a dedicated magic school like Gotham did." Strange said, "Don't go to the Himalayas, the altitude sickness is too severe. Just find a place in the United States and build a real magic school that can accommodate students from the multiverse."
"That's a good idea." Schiller nodded and said, "You came to me to ask me to help you choose a location?"
"I came to you mainly to ask you to invest." Strange spread his hands and said, "It takes a lot of money to build such a large academy in the real world. I'm here to solicit sponsorship."
