Chapter 194 Sister
The sun at noon was covered by a few gray clouds, with only a circle of golden light shining through the edge of the clouds.
On the vast grassland, ten carriages were lined up in a long queue and moved forward at an even speed. Dozens of knights on war horses were silently moving forward around the carriages.
Dunleavy, who was behind, gently squeezed the horse's belly, urged the war horse to trot a few steps, and came to the front of the team.
"Knight Jose, how long will it take us to reach Xiangmu City?"
"About two days." Jose took out the parchment map and calculated the distance.
"It's just across the rest grassland."
"Finally almost there." Dunleavy touched the beard on his face and sighed.
"By the way, Knight Jose, are you familiar with Xiangmu City? I have heard of the great name of this frontier city in the south. Can you introduce it a little bit?"
Jose's mouth twitched.
Great name? I'm afraid it's not a bad name.
He put away the map, looked at the dazzling sunlight, squinted slightly, and began to introduce it.
"The Naxia Plain where Xiangmu City is located is adjacent to the Dawn Forest. It was very chaotic before, and it is even more chaotic now."
"The Dawn Forest has a nickname, called the Forest of Death and Wealth. Aliens, beasts, and bandits are the three major sources of death in the forest, especially the latter."
José's eyes were dim, "Because when facing wealth, you never know if your teammates will become bandits."
"Wealth, you should know, spices and gems."
Dunleavy nodded. The top spices in the Dawn Forest are said to be worth one gram of incense and one kilogram of gold in the south of the empire.
Not to mention gems. It is said that the sapphire on the crown of the current queen comes from the Dawn Forest.
Jose paused and continued:
"Xiangmu City is an outpost to the Dawn Forest. In addition to major caravans, spices, and gem processing factories, it also gathers most of the empire's pioneers, as well as countless adventurers and mercenaries who dream of getting rich overnight."
"In addition, since it borders the Wing Empire and the Principality of Asia, it is, to some extent, the chosen place for all wanted criminals in the three countries."
"Finally, there are all kinds of black organizations, families, messy sects, and so on."
"With so many restless factors, its chaos can be imagined." Jose sighed.
"But didn't the empire station a reinforced legion there?" Dunleavy was a little puzzled.
The organization of a reinforced legion is equivalent to that of two or three ordinary provinces, which means that there are at least six knights, plus a knight group of 4,000 people.
There are also about 40,000 infantry and artillery regiments. This strength, in his opinion, is enough to suppress all riots.
"You will know when you go there." Jose sneered.
"I advise you to stay in the city when you get there, and don't run around, especially out of the city. With your strength in the city, nothing big will happen."
"As for the Xiangmu City Legion... keep your distance."
He didn't explain too much. This legion only protects the safety of Xiangmu City and maintains the basic order in the city.
If you meet them outside the city, especially in the Dawn Forest, it is best to run as far as possible.
The Soros family has a large spice processing factory in Xiangmu City. In addition to a permanent family knight, they often hire one or two familiar knights to guard it.
The situation has changed recently, and the head of the family has also sent Captain Ente and Fleet, two family knights.
"Knight Jose, do you know about the Ladder Society?"
The voice of Viscount Phil suddenly came from behind. He didn't know when he was not staying in the carriage, but riding a horse instead.
"The Ladder Society... that medical organization?"
José's face became strange. The reputation of the Ladder Society is not very good. Under the guise of medicine, they specialize in various human experiments and have developed some extremely disgusting things.
That is, in Xiangmu City. If it were somewhere else, they would have been wiped out.
When Viscount Phil saw the expression on Jose's face, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
He was silent for a moment and asked cautiously: "The Ladder Society, do they have any problems?"
"What is your purpose in looking for the Ladder Society?" Jose asked in response to Viscount Phil's question.
Viscount Phil smiled bitterly, looked back at the carriage where his daughter was with pity, and said slowly:
"To treat Sisi."
He did not hide it. This matter was not a secret in Swan City.
Jose was stunned. He suddenly didn't know what to say.
It's said that the Ladder Society can't treat diseases. In fact, their medical skills are really good, but it's said that it can treat diseases. I always feel that there is something strange stuck in my throat, which is very uncomfortable.
It's like looking for a veterinarian to treat people.
In the carriage.
Lu He just woke up and didn't want to get up yet. Instead, he squinted his eyes and half-lying in Sai Erya's arms, emptying his mind.
Hearing this, his eyes subconsciously swept towards the carriage behind.
"Huh?"
He had no interest at first, he was just curious, but as he looked at it, his eyes became brighter and brighter from the initial carelessness, and the black light flashing in his eyes was clearly visible.
"I am a doctor."
Lu He pushed open the window, his eyes full of sincerity and gentleness.
"Viscount Phil, there is no need to go to that shitty ladder society. I will help Si Si to treat it, and I won't charge if I can't cure it."
José looked at the blood-red pupils of the owner of the house and suddenly shuddered. Not only him, but also Mark and Dutan on the carriage frame, shuddered.
Viscount Phil was even more stunned.
Dunleavy rolled his eyes and thought, "You're a doctor, but I'm still a college professor."
"what are you saying?"
"I'm a doctor, you trust me."
Lu He did not lie to Viscount Phil, he was really a doctor.
Not to mention various treatment spells, with just a scalpel, he is the top surgeon.
"But..." Viscount Phil found it difficult to accept.
"It's nothing but, you have to treat this disease even if you don't want to see it."
Viscount Phil suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he had been on a pirate ship.
He was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
If Zoro wants to take a look, let him take a look. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, you won't lose a piece of flesh. Sisi has been seen by many "miracle doctors" since he was a child, and he is the best.
The convoy came to a slow stop.
After a while.
Sisi came over wearing a white lace dress and yawning. She was taking a nap. She couldn't sleep well at night because she always had nightmares, so she could only catch up on her sleep during the day.
Arriving one meter in front of Lu He, she puffed her cheeks and stared.
"Do you often have nightmares at night, dreaming about a four-eyed crow with cracks on its body, two of which are vertical and the other two horizontal?" Lu He said in a gentle tone.
"how do you know!?"
Sisi's eyes became wider and rounder. She looked at her father beside her, only to find that his eyes were also widened.
Looking at Uncle Dunleavy again, his beard was raised again.
Lu He nodded and said no more. His consciousness entered the Eye of Inheritance to search for more detailed information.
He strongly suspected that Si Si's illness was caused by a rare physique that had special talents.
That is, the physique of Dark Night Amber.
After a while.
Lu He withdrew from the Eye of Inheritance, suddenly held her hand, and lightly pricked her wrist with his fingers.
A snort.
A drop of blood seeped out, flew automatically to his other hand, and disappeared.
This series of actions was so fast that Viscount Phil and Dunleavy had no time to react before it ended. However, they breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Si Si was fine.
Lu He suddenly smiled.
Sure enough, he has the physique of Dark Night Amber.
This kind of physique has no bonus to practice, but it has a special effect. The first night's blood or the first essence can greatly increase the power of dark attack demonized items.
However, usually only the first night's blood is seen, because it takes eighteen years for the body to mature.
During this period, the males were basically gone.
"Count Sauron, how are you?" Viscount Phil asked with a glimmer of hope.
At first, Zoro's words surprised and surprised him.
Because Zoro couldn't know Sisi's nightmare so clearly, he took Sisi to see a doctor. He always said that he had nightmares at night and couldn't sleep, but he didn't dare to say what kind of nightmare it was, for fear of attracting some unnecessary Trouble.
But now Zoro took one look and said it.
Lu He shook his head and nodded again.
This nightmare is a normal phenomenon that occurs during the growth of Dark Night Amber's physique and cannot be avoided.
And the closer to maturity, the more frequent the Four-Eyed Crow will appear, and will not disappear until the body matures.
Viscount Phil was a little confused by Sauron's nodding and shaking of his head, just when he was about to ask again.
But I heard three decisive sentences, an unquestionable voice slowly sounded.
"Sisi called me Brother Sauron twice last night."
"Then she will be my Sisi sister from now on!"
"As a brother, I will protect her until adulthood!"
Lu He had a gentle and friendly smile on his face, looked at Si Si and said, "Call me brother."
