Outside the tent.

Ranmarok grabbed Damus's arm and dragged him out of the camp, and Damus cooperated, following Ranmarlock's footsteps in the same footsteps. Neither of them spoke along the way, and two pairs of thick-soled leather shoes fell one after another, crunching the snow.

Outside the camp gate, Dammos struggled slightly, and found that Ranmarok still did not let go of his hand, and said angrily, "I have calmed down, sir." You don't have to worry I'll pounce back as soon as you let go. ”

"You said that there are so many medical scholars in Wang Li Academy, why is it that only you, a half-doctor, are willing to be the military doctor of Poynbru?" Ranmarok let go of his hand and said helplessly, "I told you not to reveal your identity as a poison scholar in front of the soldiers, right?" Those who are stunned do not care about the success rate and survival rate of the operation, if something happens to their body, they will definitely be the first to rely on you, saying that you have something unclean on your body and infected them. ”

"Hi Hi! What to say! What half-hung doctor? "First of all, I have obtained far more stone beads in the field of medicine, and much earlier than poisonology, and second, in the medical department of Wang Li College, poisonology is an extremely important branch, and almost all medical scholars will delve into poisonology, but I started relatively late, and only made achievements in the subject of 'poison classification and identification'." He rolled up his sleeves and showed off the academic ring on his arm to Ranmaroke, a dozen round white stone beads strung together like an upside-down flying rainbow. This is the 'comprehensive application of herbal medicine', this is the 'theory and application of surgery, this is the ......" he took one by one, like a number of treasures. Most of them, as he says, are his brilliant achievements in the field of medicine. When counting the penultimate stone beads, Dams paused slightly, and his fingers quietly slipped away, pointing to the last stone bead, "This is the 'Poison Classification and Identification'." ”

"You studied poison for fifteen years before you got a bead?" Ranmaroke choked Damus with a word. He looked away a little awkwardly: "This ...... I've been working on something else for fifteen years. ”

"Definitely," Ranmarok waved his hand repeatedly, "I'm not interested in your academic system, let alone your academic achievements, I only remember that we have three chapters of the law, and we must not reveal our identity as a poison scholar." ”

"Everyone asked, so I naturally had to answer. And they're not like the stupid young man who can't read a few words under you, the young man who led me into the tent—he should be the leader of that team, right? He talks decently, and it can be seen that he has a good aristocratic education, and he also has a certain medical foundation, and what is even more rare is that his knowledge is so broad that even the characteristics of the 'Blue Star' are clear. Damus didn't care, "Those guys must be mercenaries from outside, right?" Didn't you say that outside the city was a dangerous area in the past half month, how did they get into the city? ”

Ranmaroke's expression froze: "This is top secret, how do you know?" ”

"Several elite squads of the Black Spear Knights have joined the search and rescue team you organized, but they have been lost to this day. Captain Dahal had a few blisters on his mouth, he didn't come to ask for someone? ”

"Don't ask about that, military secrets." Ranmarok said impatiently, "What are you still hanging out here for?" Do you want me to hire a carriage to take you back to the Royal Academy? ”

"Haha, let's go, let's go." Dams stepped forward, but then he was alive again, and he turned his head to look at Ranmarok, a hesitant light flashing behind the lenses. Ranmaroke faced the crow mask that covered his face, and a strange thought suddenly appeared in his heart: Damus at this time, like a mourning crow, the prophecy of calamity might cry out of the thin and long beak of the bird in the next second.

"Sir, I feel compelled to warn you. Blue Star is a highly difficult and expensive poison to reconcile. Heretics will only be used on what they call 'high-risk lists'. So far, most of the recorded victims have been well-known people from various industries, most recently Jeffrey 'Firefox', the backbone of the Salaon Merchants' Union. I don't know what the patient who fell for the 'Blue Star' has to do with the heretics, but he, including his mercenary team, must have an extraordinary background, and the Commander had better keep an eye on them. Damus whispered.

Ranmarok was silent for a moment and nodded, "I understand." ”

……

The darkness of the sky covered Boynbru silently, and the night in the north always came earlier and lasted longer than elsewhere. It seems that the cold and snow here also make the sun unavoidable. Boimbre is the least sun-friendly town in the north – even in spring, it doesn't get more than six hours of sunshine a day. The night came silently and suddenly, and the light between the heavens seemed to flee for a moment, and then the ink escaped from the dark clouds that were stacked like stones, and covered Boimbru drippingly. This ancient and vicissitudes of town is dying in the dull night.

"It's too dark, too." Salamano raised the torch, but the light was so tightly bound within five paces that he couldn't even see his own hand holding it. Salamano looked up, and there was only a thick darkness in his vision.

Not far away, a little fire drifted towards Salaman, followed by the sound of rising and falling footsteps. Kia held the torch and stood beside Salaman, rubbing his brow incessantly. The illuminated areas of the two torches were placed together, and the light became much thicker, and a trace of warmth rose. Neither Salamane nor Kia said anything, they just grimaced and silently stared at the darkness in front of them.

"How's the boss doing?" Salaman spoke suddenly, his voice soft.

"I can't die." Kea's voice was equally soft, "But as you can see, even the doctors of the Royal Academy are helpless against his illness. ”

"That bastard!" At the mention of Dams Salaman, his teeth itched with hatred, "If it weren't for our presence, he would probably have been able to dismantle his head on the spot." ”

"You mean 'anatomy'?"

Salaman nodded vigorously: "Yes, dissect!" ”

"The scholars of the Royal Academy have always been like this, they are the most fanatical intellectuals, and in a way, they can be regarded as the most devout believers in knowledge. The Doctor's reaction was not surprising - though it was unpleasant. It's just that in the future, dealing with them in the north will be indispensable, so let's get used to it as soon as possible. Kia sighed and smiled bitterly in his heart, from now on? If Estheu can't recover in the future and is left with a lifelong disability, where will they have a future in the north? He suddenly felt the temperature around him suddenly rise a little, and his back burned faintly. He subconsciously turned his head, but bumped into a pair of cold eyes.

Kenrico's personal maid stared at Kia expressionlessly. She stood so close to Kia that she almost pressed against him. She held a torch in her hand, and the flames danced violently at the top, making a "crackling" sound.

Kia took a step back, tilting his head, avoiding the maid's eye and the flame that almost burned his face, but the eyes that had no temperature were already imprinted on his face, as if the extreme cold was scorching him. Kia closed his eyes and sighed again: "Salaman, I have to leave beforehand. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Kenriko thinks that today's battlefield fight is very exciting, and I want to talk to this gentleman." The maid said, her voice was as clear as a mountain spring, but there was not a trace of enthusiasm in her tone, "Please follow me." ”

She turned and fled into the darkness with her torches. Kia followed her. The flickering light of the two points of fire gradually faded away, and the cold around him increased for a moment, and Salamano shivered fiercely, and wrapped the cotton robe on his body tightly.
