Chapter 45: The Caretaker
Standing in the cold wind, Lin Ze rejected the horseman's suggestion to help him into the car, and decided to walk around the world himself.
The bartender entrusted a colleague to take the shift and personally took Lin Ze to the best hotel in town.
Lin Ze observed the surrounding scene as he walked.
The scenery is peaceful, and the people live and are happy.
However, the gaze that looked at Lin Ze always carried a trace of imperceptible hostility.
Lin Ze thought about it, but still didn't speak.
After a while, the three of them came to a small square, behind which was a small church, and in the middle of the square stood a bell.
A stranger, dressed a little shabby, leaned there, with his head bowed, as if asleep.
The reason why it was certain that it was a foreigner, because in part of the memories that Lin Ze received, this kind of leather cloak was a relatively common service for the nobles in the north, not to mention that there was no in this kind of southern town, but it was definitely very rare, and even if there was, it would not be easily worn.
"John, go see, that man." Lin Ze pointed to the stranger leaning on the side of the small clock tower, and asked Mafu John to ask about the situation.
I saw John walk forward, and he kept asking arrogantly, but the other party never responded.
John seemed to be angry at the other party's contempt for the Earl of Iron Spear, and stretched out his leg and kicked the man, who fell to the ground, but John looked terrified as if he had seen a ghost.
"The hosts! Master! John hurriedly ran back, and before his breath could calm down, he hurriedly said to Lin Ze: "Master! This guy, this guy, is Lord Knight Connor! ”
Hearing the name Connor, another memory came to Lin Ze's mind: for the Iron Spear Earl, fought bravely on the battlefield with the Green Empire, and once saved the three lives of the current Earl, but returned to his hometown to retire because of the Black Death.
In Lin Ze's memory, the Knight Captain Connor also taught him swordsmanship and riding for a while.
Lin Ze stepped forward and looked at the man's face, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as the Knight Connor in his memory, but his face had some more vicissitudes.
Lin Ze didn't know why Connor, who had the Black Death three years ago, was here, but since he had encountered it, he couldn't ignore it.
"Where is the best clinic here? Take us there. Lin Ze got up and said to the bartender behind him.
"My lord, aren't we going to the hotel?" The bartender had reluctance in his eyes.
His colleague would only help him for a short while, and if he couldn't bring the fat sheep to the hotel himself, the damned vampire Jones wouldn't give him half a copper coin.
"Let you lead the way, and you will lead the way." John snorted and spoke to the bartender.
Although the bartender had reluctance in his eyes, he still turned around and led the way, and just muttered in a low voice: "May you always fall into nightmares, damned stranger." ”
The groom didn't hear it, but Lin Ze heard it clearly.
Nightmare.
The clues that were constantly obtained made Lin Ze's speculation closer and closer to the truth.
"Hopefully, it's not the place I imagined."
John helped Connor to the carriage and drove it behind Linze.
The bartender led the two to a two-story building.
"My lord, this is it, there is only this one medical hall in our town." After saying that, the bartender turned around and left, and the time for his colleague to help lead the shift was almost over, so he stepped on heavy footsteps as he left, obviously angry because he didn't slaughter the fat sheep.
Lin Ze ignored the bartender who left in a bad mood, but waved his hand, asking John to follow with Connor.
The hall on the first floor was empty, except for rows and rows of beds.
John helped Connor onto a bed and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
"Master, is this really a medical hall? How come there is no one? John asked cautiously.
Lin Ze ignored the groom, but walked up the stairs to the second floor and knocked on the door with the knuckle of his index finger.
"Knock knock."
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps.
"Hello? How can I help? A boy came from behind the door.
"My companion is in a coma for some reason, can you ask a doctor to take a look at me?" Lin Ze said out loud.
"Crunch." The door was opened, and a man with white hair and a frugally dressed man stood behind it.
"Of course, bring your companions." The middle-aged man smiled and said to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze beckoned, and John immediately picked up Connor, who had just put it down, and followed Lin Ze into the medical hall.
"Excuse me, are you the doctor here?" As he walked to the consultation room, Lin Ze asked the middle-aged man.
"No, no, no, the doctor here is a kind little girl, her name is Yusefka, I am the priest of the church, and my name is Gascoigne." The middle-aged man replied to Lin Ze with a smile.
"Here we are." The middle-aged man came to the examination room with the three of them, and John hurriedly put Connor on the bed in the examination room.
"Wait a minute, young man, I'll help you call Nurse Yusefka." The smile of the middle-aged person gives people a sense of security and makes people feel convinced.
Lin Ze stood in the consultation room, looking around.
There was a door at the back of the consultation room, half-hidden, through this door, Lin Ze could see a person lying on the hospital bed inside, but that person seemed to be a little mutilated and seemed to have lost his right leg.
"Oh, I'm sorry, young man." Father Gascoigne came back at some point, and said apologetically to Lin Ze: "The kind nurse Yusefka and the wandering doctor, Ms. Raven, seem to have fallen asleep, I tried to wake them up, but it didn't work, if you don't mind, why don't you let me take a look?" Although I am a priest, I still know a little bit of healing, and the three of us are together today to discuss how to treat a recent epidemic. ”
Lin Ze nodded: "Of course, Priest." ”
John was still trying to forcibly wake up the doctor here, but looking at Lin Ze's attitude, he just snorted twice and didn't say anything else.
The priest came to Connor's side, rolled his eyelids, took out a pair of stethoscopes and listened carefully to his chest, and said to Lin Ze: "Young man, this gentleman is in a very bad state, it seems, in a state of extreme ischemia. ”
"He needs a blood transfusion now, if you don't mind, then please wait for me for a while, I'll go to the blood bank in the back and get some blood transfusion bags."
"No need." Lin Ze sighed, at this time, he had basically determined what world he was in. If it is this world, if you want to enter the inner world, the general way is not to try: "Give him a transfusion of my blood." ”
As soon as Lin Ze said this, John and the priest exclaimed together: "What? ”
John immediately said, "How can this, master, how can you use your noble body to go, to save a ......"
The priest also said: "Young man, the types of blood are different, and you should know with your family background, not all blood can be infused into other people's bodies....."
"It's okay, I've made up my mind, Father, you can test it, I think my blood should match Connor's body."
The priest was embarrassed and said, "But this does not meet Yusefka's regulations..."Looking at Lin Ze's determined eyes, the priest was defeated: "Okay, then I'll try." ”
I saw the priest take out a blood collection bottle from a cabinet, connect a piece of needle, and pierce Lin Ze's arm.
Blood flowed down the pipe into the blood collection bottle, and the bright red blood quickly filled the small bottle.
After bandaging Lin Ze, the priest took the blood collection bottle to Connor's side, found a blood vessel in his leg, pierced it, and hung the blood collection bottle on the shelf beside him.
"Gentlemen, wait for the blood to come in and then pull out the needle. I'm sorry, I'm leaving, my daughter and wife are waiting for me at home, and tomorrow Nurse Yusevka will come back and tell you about the fees. The priest smiled at the two of them and turned to leave.
Lin Ze waved his hand, "Goodbye, priest, I wish you happiness." ”
The priest was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, sir." ”
Looking at the departing priest, Lin Ze said to John: "John, I'm going to sleep here today, accompany Connor, you go to the tavern." ”
John hurriedly said, "Master, how can this work? This dilapidated environment ......"
"Leave me alone, you go to the bar." Lin Ze smiled.
Looking at Lin Ze's smile, after all, it was the wine worm that defeated loyalty, John nodded slightly, and whispered, "Okay, master." ”
With John's departure, only Lin Ze and Connor were left in the consultation room.
Lin Ze lay down on the bed next to Connor and closed his eyes.
Hopefully, don't let me down.
Bloodborne curses the world!
