Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Wicked Guest Arrives
"Before, the Vice President, they came to the Shining City to deal with some business of the Chamber of Commerce, and then went to the wilderness... Unexpectedly, I encountered a siege by the strong men of the savage tribe near the 'Red Rock Canyon'..."
The steward of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce said very vaguely, but he also roughly explained what happened.
The team encountered a strong enemy, and Uncle Sam was in charge of breaking the rear, and then separated from the team led by the lady.
Originally, they thought that they should return to the city first, but Sam, who was seriously injured, was the only one who came back.
The whereabouts of the lady and Benjamin are unknown.
.......
Wren's brow furrowed when he heard this.
When he came to the City of Radiance before, the Countess and Uncle Sam had gone straight to the wasteland, and he guessed that there must be some other purpose for them.
However, at that time, he did not know the existence of the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce", a money empire.
I didn't know that this ordinary Uncle Sam in front of me could actually stab the third-order "burst brown bear" that almost wiped them out with one shot.
Oh, letting an honest and honest uncle play a rookie is really embarrassing for him.
But obviously, the four major offerings of the Black Crystal Chamber of Commerce, plus the presence of the vice president, this is to play the ticket "big".
Now that I think about it, it is very likely that the "big event" is directly related to the Coleman tribe where Udo is located, maybe it is a ruin, a treasure, or something else...
Thinking about it again, the supply group of the Chamber of Commerce was robbed by the "Black Skull Monster Bandits" in the wasteland, and then encountered the siege of the savage tribe...
It is not difficult to speculate that the lady probably fell into the calculations of men.
This also confirms Wren's previous speculation that someone is planning to do something against the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce".
At last, Chapman, the steward, sighed again, "Ah... That's why our Chamber of Commerce headquarters has decided to issue an SSS bounty mission to let the liars in the 'Shining City' work together to find the whereabouts of their elders. Soon it will be known to everyone..."
After hearing this, Wren also frowned slightly.
A rookie like him couldn't help with this at all, so he could only silently pray that something would happen to that lady.
What's more, the wealthy Black Gold Chamber of Commerce seems to be planning to release the "SSS bounty task with tens of billions of bounties", which is not something he has to worry about.
.......
After sending off the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" and his group, Wren returned to the laboratory and began to write a report on the previous operation.
Tuk, tuk, tuk.
A short time later, there was a knock on the door.
But I don't know why, the laboratory, which is not visited by anyone for ten and a half days on weekdays, has been visited one after another today.
Not long after the people from the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce left, an old man in a black dress, a bowler hat, and a silver cane visited the laboratory.
Ilrubek didn't seem to like people coming, but he had to be welcomed.
Wren listened to their conversation, this guy seemed to be a patriarch of the Winster family, the head of the five major families in Radiant City.
As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the laboratory was a little awkward.
After the polite greetings, the old man asked directly: "Dr. Ilubeck, the head of the family asked me to ask you if I can help you with the matter I discussed with you before..."
Ilubeck: "I've already said that I can't do it yet. I'm sorry I can't help you, so please go back. ”
The old man seemed to be prepared, and continued: "The head of the family has promised that as long as you perform that operation, even if you fail to save the life, the promised reward will be a lot. Moreover, we have prepared all the materials for the operation, and you don't even need to do it yourself, you just need to be there to guide the doctors in our hospital..."
The words seemed to touch a nerve in Ilubeck.
He refused again, and there was already a tone of non-disgust: "I said, I can't save it." ”
Throughout the whole process, the conversation between the two was like a dumb riddle.
Wren on the side was a little confused.
He vaguely felt that this was not like a simple door-to-door medical treatment.
.......
was rejected one after another, and the old man's eyes flashed a touch of gloom.
His tone was less polite, and he added, "Doctor, you should know. After all, you are a wanted criminal in Omar, and how much pressure does our Winster family put on you to provide you with shelter and a safe place to experiment... And we never asked for anything in return. Right now... All you need is a little help you can, can you really bear to refuse? ”
The implication is that it is not so friendly anymore.
"Huh!"
When the old man Ilrubek heard this, his temper came, and he snorted coldly: "If I don't agree, do you Winster still plan to hand me over to Omar?" Hehe, the rules set by Master Kavo are not easy to enforce here in your Winster family? I am protected by the City of Radiance, and it is the love of Master Kavo, not your Winster family! ”
was threatened in the face, and the old man said this without saving face.
"This fifth district is the city of our Winster family!"
When the old man in the dress heard this, his face suddenly became very gloomy, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency Ilubeck, you won't think about it anymore?" If you don't make a move, the old master won't survive for a few days... When the time comes, there will be no turning back. ”
In his opinion, a guy who can't be used, no matter how deep his attainments in the medical field, is worthless at all!
Over the years, this old man has not only rejected the offer to help their family train doctors and potions, but also has hardly treated the patients they need to treat, and has been immersed in research in this laboratory all day long, unable to create any benefits for their Winster family at all.
Now they actually refuse to help the old master continue his life, which makes them unbearable!
At this time, Ilrubek didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and said to Wren: "Wren, send me off!" ”
Before Wren could speak, the old man in the dress threw his sleeves and turned around, leaving behind an unceremonious cold snort, "Doctor, you are so self-conscious!" ”
......
Seeing off the villain, Wren returns to the lab.
Although the little old man of Ilubeck was not very good-tempered, Wren had never seen such an angry look on his face.
It's like the kind of irritability that some bottom lines have been trampled on repeatedly, and the old man's face is dark and ugly.
The old man didn't mention what happened just now, and Wren didn't ask, silently doing the exercises on the side.
But his eyes kept staring at the old man.
The eight spider arms didn't move, and they looked like they were wandering.
This is very abnormal for scientific research maniacs who want to use their meal time to replace it with an injection of nutrient solution.
Thinking about it, Wren still opened his mouth and asked, "Teacher, you... Are you alright? ”
For a long time, no one answered, and the silence in the laboratory was a little unsettling.
Half an hour later, a long sigh rang out.
Ilubeck finally spoke, and asked Wren, "Are you curious, what do the Winster family want me to help just now?" ”
Wren thought about the previous conversation and said, "Surgery on a certain big guy who is going to die? ”
Ilubeck frowned noncommittally and asked again, "It is a doctor's duty to save people. But if... Do you think you should save a 'big man' by sacrificing another civilian, or many other innocent civilians? ”
Hearing this, Wren vaguely guessed something.
In this "semi-slave and semi-feudal society", the rights of the aristocratic class were inviolable.
The lives of commoners and slaves were worthless, and were entirely the private property of the nobility.
But Rennes is a traverser of a harmonious society in the 21st century, and you tell Lao Tzu that the life of the nobles is superior? Phew, you're a mallet!
He did not hesitate to say, "Everyone is equal before life." No one has the right to have innocent people pay with their lives for their own lives! ”
Hearing this, Ilubeck glanced at him and nodded approvingly.
At this time, he asked again, "You know... Why was I wanted by the Omar royal family? ”
Finally, the old man told the unbearable past.
Wren had heard Bazel say that it seemed to be because of some kind of prince's violent death.
But obviously, eighty percent of what can be involved with the old man is not a palace grudge, but definitely a medical problem.
He speculated, "Something to do with one of your previous research topics?" ”
When Ilubek heard this, his expression softened a little, and he exclaimed, "You are very smart. ”
After a pause, he continued: "That old master of the Winster family has reached the end of his life, but he still wants to continue his life. With his strong financial resources, he tried all means to let him live a few more years and was not satisfied. I thought like 'Prince Fox' back then, and paid attention to 'head replacement surgery'... In other words, the people of their family are thinking about this operation. ”
Head Replacement Surgery?
Ordinary people may still think it is incredible, but as a traverser, how can Wren, not know what these words mean?
As soon as he heard this, he blurted out a sentence in his heart...
This old man, he won't really research this anti-heaven technology, right?
