Chapter 29: The Knight's Request

Towards noon, the rain turned to heavy snow.

Inside the carriage, Jacqueline and the doctor looked at each other, and the scene in front of them was no longer enough for them to understand.

"I read a lot of medical books during the time I was studying medicine at the college, but I didn't see a single book that mentioned this kind of wound deterioration, I thought it might be parasites...... But these fleshy tentacles clearly grew out of the flesh and blood of the clergy, how could there be such a type of parasite?"

The doctor took out the notes and a few medical books he carried with him and flipped through them, the pen in his hand kept scribbling through some passages, and the black lines walked between the fonts under the traction of the nib, and finally he could only pause, leaving only a black ink spot.

As a doctor, he was unable to explain the condition with his expertise.

"It can absorb the energy I release and grow quickly, and it can also cause damage to the priest's body...... Priest's wounds, gunshot wounds?"

These fleshy tentacles grew in and around the wound, and Jacqueline's first thought was about the wound.

"Yes, there is no doubt about it, I bandaged the priest in the woods, and I examined the wound at that time, and it was indeed a bullet wound. ”

There was still some difference between the gunshot wound and other types of injuries, and he couldn't have made a mistake on it.

"Could it be that the forest is infected with some strange disease...... You know, we sometimes encounter strange monsters when we're on missions. ”

As the captain of the knights of the Chenguang Sect, as a disciple herself, she has naturally been in contact with some special existences, and the wounds of the priests cannot be measured with common sense, so she can only think of other aspects.

When the doctor heard this, he suddenly stood up from the bed on the other side, only to hear the sound of a "bell", and the doctor sat back down, rubbing the back of his head, his face full of panic.

"What's wrong?"

Jacqueline looked at the doctor's expression in some surprise.

"If it's as you say, it's a strange disease, what if it'......s contagious? The tentacles must be disposed of immediately, or something will happen!"

At the mention of infection, Jacqueline's face also became ugly, even if a person with a strong will, if he saw these strange tentacles appear on his body, he would probably collapse.

"Is there a coal-burning stove in the car? Find an iron box, isolate these tentacles, and then find a way to take them and burn them. ”

Jacqueline is also a decisive person, and made a quick decision, and then said,

"Can the train stop? We can't gamble with the lives of these passengers on board. ”

"I'm afraid that's not going to work, there are no stops nearby, and even if the train stops somewhere at random, it's impossible for the passengers to get down...... If we go down, then the escort mission will definitely not be completed on time, and it is really not a good idea to walk to Corta, not to mention that we need a reasonable reason to convince the conductor to stop the train, how can these things be mentioned to him!"

This is not a horse-drawn carriage that comes to the side of the road, but a train carrying hundreds of people, looking out the window, the snow is falling on the wilderness, how can it stop here.

Now the situation is really tricky, the two of them in the carriage to think of a solution, but before they can come up with a reason, the priest on the bed suddenly reacted, and the body that had been unconscious because of the pain began to tremble again, without warning turned over, began to vomit, some yellow-brown liquid flowed out of his mouth, dripping on the ground, with a strange rancid smell, very unpleasant, Jacqueline had to open the window next to him to barely alleviate.

At the same time, the tentacles at the site of the priest's wound began to grow again, which was undoubtedly a sign of deterioration in the condition.

"Jacqueline, it's still a day and a half away from Corta, no matter how you go down, the priest will definitely not make it to the terminal, can we send one by then...... Mr. Priest may have information that we can tell us first, and then we can relay it on our behalf, so that even if the worst outcome occurs, at least we can ......."

"Gott~"

Presumably in rebuttal to the doctor's unlucky-sounding remark, the priest interrupted him with a loud retching.

"By the way, let the team separate and ask the passengers in the car, maybe there are other doctors, they may have heard of this condition, we have to find a way to save the priest. ”

If you can come up with this method, you can actually think of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe this is actually a relatively rare skin disease or parasite.

"Then the captain, you stay here, and I'll go out and ask the team members to go to the various carriages to find doctors. ”

"No, the priest needs to be watched now, I'll go out, you're watching here...... If the priest briefly regains consciousness, you can try to ask him for his advice and ask him to tell us about his mission. “

Jacqueline got up and left the carriage and began to assign tasks to the team, naturally they could not tell the truth to others, just asked if there was a doctor, and then told some of the symptoms.

The result was disappointing, after asking for a long time, there were indeed doctors on the train, but they had not heard of such symptoms either, and some people thought they were joking about someone getting sick, and almost quarreled with them.

"There are only 3 cars left, so if you can't find anyone who can help......

Jacqueline didn't say any more, but the gray expression on her face spoke for itself.

Knock knock~

Knocking on a private room in the carriage, laughter was heard from inside.

Someone pushed open the low door, and there was silence inside and outside the private room.

"Something?"

Donald naturally recognized these people, but he stared at them for a while before getting into the car, and he was holding a good deck of cards in his hand, ready to kill all sides.

"I didn't ...... Something's wrong!"

Jacqueline also had an impression of these people, after all, she had only met them last night, and after taking the priest back, she had heard him talk about these people who "couldn't be saved when they died", and she subconsciously wanted to leave, and suddenly thought that these people seemed to be a team of aliens, and now was not the time to care about some details, so she changed her words abruptly.

"Speak. ”

The two sides are not familiar with each other, this is the second time they have met, and Donald is not good at asking someone to leave directly, so he can only ask out loud.

By the way, I peeked at the cards in Stephanie's hand out of the corner of my eye.

"We have a companion who is seriously ill and has some weird tentacles growing in the place of the wound, I wonder if you have ever encountered a similar situation?"

"Tentacles? ”

The denial was neat, on the one hand, Donald had indeed never seen the tentacles, and on the other hand, he also knew that the injured person they were talking about must be the same person they had met last night.

To put it bluntly, he didn't want to save it, not to mention that there was no way to save it.

"I know that something unpleasant has happened between you, but this time it is indeed an extremely serious situation, my friend's illness may be contagious, and the whole train may be in danger at that time, and it is impossible for the train to stop now, I hope that if there is a cure for you, please help us, the Morning Light Sect will provide you with satisfactory rewards." ”

I had heard the priest say that these people were very indifferent, and as the chief knight, Jacqueline naturally knew the attitude of the strangers towards strangers, but Donald refused because he didn't want to get into trouble, so he could only grit his teeth and reveal another message.

"Contagion...... What do you say?"

The contagion that can make the aliens helpless, Donald and the few knights behind Jacqueline showed similar expressions, and then frowned and said,

"What are you thinking when you think it's a contagious disease and you take sick people on the train?"

"Hey, please pay attention to your tone when you speak!"

Because of his surprise, Donald's tone of voice was inevitably a little heavy, which made several young people outside the carriage a little dissatisfied.

"Why, you brought the person here, and now something happens and let someone else wipe your butt for you?" Okay, I have a way, since it's an infectious disease, then just kill the person and throw it into the wild, if you want to be cremated, I can provide you with a fire inscription scroll for free. ”

These people are dissatisfied, how much better can Donald's mood be?

was playing poker in a good manner, and suddenly a person appeared and said that there was a guest with an infectious disease in the car, or did they bring it, and now they actually want Donald and a few people to treat him?

"It's not certain if it's contagious, but it's just a possibility, and the sudden growth of tentacles around his wound that would hurt his own body caused him great pain...... If you can heal him, I can promise you a satisfactory reward. ”

The oppressive aura she felt from these people in front of her made Jacqueline realize that these people should be powerful people, and pleaded again.

"I didn't lie to you, I really haven't seen or even heard of anything like a wound with a tentacle. ”

Donald shrugged, not knowing is not knowing, he is not going to lie about such a thing.

"Wait, what is the relationship between your Morning Light Church and the Craft and Forge Church?"

Anthony stopped a few of them as they were leaving, looked at Donald, and nodded his finger at the unfinished spatial ring he was wearing on his left index finger.

"How do you know ......?"

She didn't identify herself.

"The badge of the sword on your waist is enough to prove it, so I'll just say that we went to Corta to find a craftsman to create a special magical item for us, and if you have a way to do it, then we haven't seen that strange disease, but we can find a way to help. ”

When playing poker, several of them talked about the forging of space rings, money alone is not enough, they have to find a craftsman who can create space rings first, and craftsmen of this level are obviously not something that can be seen casually.

"If you can cure the priest's illness, I can promise to introduce you to first-class craftsmen!"

As long as the Muslims can be saved, finding a first-class craftsman is not a difficult task for Jacqueline.

"Let's go, take us to see the people. ”

Now it's a deal, and it's about the space ring, so Donald is naturally more concerned.
