Chapter 22: Undercurrent(3/3)
"(⊙?⊙)"
…
In Central Park, the sky is getting dark and it is almost 7pm.
Adol sat on the stone sculpture opposite Su Xiao, looking at Su Xiao with unblinking eyes, as if she was mentally urging Su Xiao to stop being addicted to games and act quickly.
The sound of armor clashing came from a distance, and as the sound got closer, a six-man city guard patrol came over. They were wearing standard silver armor, with elegant elven curved blades hanging on their waists.
"Sir, you don't look like an elf? Are you a mixed race?"
The patrol leader spoke in a half-questioning, half-investigative tone.
"Not really."
Su Xiao put away the terminal, took out her pocket watch and took a look.
"So, you don't have a residence permit in Bay City? If so, come with me."
"..."
Su Xiao glanced at the patrol captain and then ignored him.
"Sir, you have to cooperate with us. This is..."
"I am not a resident of this world and I don't understand your rules. I am here by invitation."
Hearing what Su Xiao said, the patrol captain and the other five city guards looked at each other and began to surround Su Xiao.
"Invited? Invited by whom?"
"Mushroom Prophet."
Hearing the name Mushroom Prophet, the patrol leader's attitude was obviously hesitant, and his expression became a little more polite without realizing it.
"I am a pharmacist. The mushroom prophet said that I can make a lot of money here, so I came here. If I buy a property here, can I get temporary residency?"
"This is it~"
The patrol captain raised his hand to signal his subordinates not to surround Su Xiao anymore. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Pharmacist, what are you good at treating?"
"Bloodline distortion, life overdraft, I am good at many fields."
"I understand, what is your name?"
"white night."
"Doctor Bai Ye, welcome to Bay City. I am the inspection captain of the central neighborhood, Arles. If you need to buy a property nearby, I may be able to help."
Inspector Arles' attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, which was wrong.
Why has Su Xiao been waiting here? This is the center of Bay City. If a large army is to be mobilized to surround it, the Elf Royal Family will have a lot of concerns.
Secondly, once the priest's deception is really successful, causing the Elf Royal Family to help with all their strength, Su Xiao's position at this time will allow the Elf Family to taste the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow. A wrath of the sun, Apollo, will be with them
detonated in the center of the capital, you can imagine the pain.
In addition to this aspect, Su Xiao is waiting for two people. One is Caesar, who has already made contact with them, and is purchasing real estate through formal procedures, plus purchasing various equipment needed for private clinics. With the power of silver coins, Caesar has arranged
It's almost done. The clinic opened by Su Xiao will be opened early tomorrow morning.
The second person waiting was the patrol captain Arles. Su Xiao was not sure who would come, but after the patrol captain Arles appeared, Su Xiao was sure of one thing. The Elf King Cromwell lived up to his reputation and was not deceived by the priest.
.
What is certain at the moment is that the priest has approached the Elf King Cromwell. Su Xiao is not sure what the reason is to frame him, but the priest will never act as a law destroyer.
Although this method is very effective and allows the Elf King Cromwell to surround and kill Su Xiao with all his strength, after the priest said that Su Xiao is a law breaker, what if the Elf King Cromwell asked back: "How do you know the law breaker?"
?How do you know that the elves are afraid of the exterminator? Do you know about the "talent awakening device"? Do you know the biggest secret of the elves?'
Of course, the priest would not carry out such a self-destruction operation, and he was making empty promises.
Now that the patrol captain Arles is here, it means one thing. The priest has begun to exert force. The Elf King Cromwell did not fully agree to cooperate with the priest, so he sent the patrol captain Arles to find out what happened to Su Xiao.
Who is he, what is the purpose of coming here, etc.
Su Xiao's response was to directly point out that he was not from this world, but a pharmacist who came here to make money. His guarantee was that he was a mushroom prophet.
This is not a question of whether the Mushroom Prophet is willing or not, it is a matter of affirming Su Xiao's statement. Considering the old guy's fear of death, this aspect is very stable.
It is not a secret to the outside world that the Mushroom Prophet can leave the tree world, which is why it has a high status. The Mushroom Prophet accidentally met Su Xiao in other worlds and told Su Xiao about the situation of the elves. Su Xiao came here to open a clinic. No matter how you look at it,
, this is all reasonable.
The reason why Su Xiao is sure that the elves need a skilled pharmacist or doctor is because the [Blood Purifying Secret Medicine (Pharmaceutical Formula)] sold by the Mushroom Prophet before was a hint.
In addition, after entering "Baicheng", something made Su Xiao sure that the elves did have a problem. The royal family claimed a few months ago that there was a problem with the groundwater in Bayicheng. No matter how you look at it, this is all a precautionary measure.
, so that when a certain blood-related evil disease breaks out, there will be no place to blame. Then we can tell the people that there is a problem with drinking groundwater.
Su Xiao knew a long time ago that if you can master a skill or knowledge that others cannot, you will be respected wherever you go.
Under the warm invitation of the patrol captain Arles, Su Xiao decided to have dinner with the middle-aged man.
The dinner was held at a nearby small restaurant. After Su Xiao sat down, the patrol captain Arles on the opposite side immediately stood up and poured a glass of wine for Su Xiao before sitting down with a smile.
The food on the table is quite abundant. There are many half-eaten meals on several nearby tables. Apparently some diners were kicked away by the people of the patrol captain Arles after they were halfway through the meal. They really agreed to that.
In a word, little devils are difficult to deal with. These little bosses are more arrogant and unreasonable than the big guys.
It was not for nothing that the inspection captain Arles was so enthusiastic. After having a full meal, Su Xiao took a sip of hot tea, looked at Arles opposite, and said, "Let's talk."
"Haha," Arle smiled boldly, and then said with a frown: "I have a little son, he is 17 years old this year, he... he is a bit... precocious~, if Dr. Bai Ye has time, he will go to my house now, please don't worry
, the reward will definitely not be less.”
Inspection Captain Arles stated his purpose. There is no unreasonable kindness in this world, and there is no unreasonable malice. Su Xiao felt something was wrong before. After the other party heard that he was a pharmacist + a doctor, his attitude changed quickly.
"Can."
Su Xiao got up and the group left the restaurant. Instead of going to his home in Arles, they went to the apartment area in the east of the city, which was also a relatively stable slum.
After arriving here, the inspection leader Arles's eyes changed. He felt like a gambler who inadvertently showed a fierce look.
"Arles, your royal family has already taken some action? After your youngest son has a disease like this, will he 'deal with it' in a unified way?"
Hearing Su Xiao's question, the burly Arles stopped. He no longer pretended to smile, but showed his usual arrogance and violence.
"Yes, the royal family used every method to prevent this matter from being exposed. They don't care about our life or death. I don't dare to find any other doctor except you, a foreigner with suspicious origins."
After the inspection captain Arles finished speaking, he continued to lead the way.
More than half an hour later, on the second floor of an apartment, Arles had just used the key to open the old door. A beautiful woman sitting in the foyer stood up. She had severe dark circles under her eyes and a thin cheek.
Without too many twists and turns, Su Xiao met the son of the patrol captain Arles. He was a young man with white hair. His hair was the gray of an old man. Not only that, this young man's skin was loose and wrinkled.
There are signs of sinking in the corners of the mouth, and there is a rotten, old smell about his body.
The first time she saw this young man, Su Xiao was sure that the elves had made a mistake in using the "Talent Awakening Device". They were by no means a group of people, and even a generation had used the "Talent Awakening Device".
Awakening of talent.
At this time, there was a kind of distorted abyss power in this young man, which caused this young man to age to such an extent.
This is very confusing. No matter how you say it, the "Talent Awakening Device" is created to bring improvement to the user. Even if there are negative consequences, most of them are the user's own bad luck. At best, it is a fault of blood.
Problem, for example, as Su Xiao observed before, the willpower of the elves is getting weaker and weaker with each generation.
The young man's appearance now looked more like it was caused by the power of the abyss, but what Su Xiao couldn't understand was how the power of the abyss could erode the bloodline so deeply.
Suddenly, an idea appeared in Su Xiao's mind. Could it be that the first elf king, Burai Aronde, used the "Talent Awakening Device" to catalyze the power of the abyss, and then absorb the distorted power of the abyss?
The erosion of the power of the abyss is troublesome enough. If you use the "Talent Awakening Device" to strengthen the erosion of the blood of the power of the abyss, the resulting thing, after initial absorption, will most likely awaken a powerful talent power, but the consequences
…
Su Xiao admitted that he underestimated the elves. These elves didn't realize it at all. They should walk into the "talent awakening device" by themselves and activate the device, instead of putting the collected power of the abyss into it and activating the "talent."
"Awakening Device", and finally absorb the power of the abyss that has completed the catalysis.
At the moment, this young man has no disease, but due to bloodline problems, all his original vitality has been lost, and a trace amount of "Alien Abyss Power" is slowly eroding, which is why he is in this situation now.
Ordinary doctors are basically helpless when encountering this kind of situation, but Su Xiao has been exposed to the power of the abyss for a long time.
"Doctor Bai Ye? Can my son be saved?"
"Help."
