Chapter 140: The True Patriarch

Wu Di had a kind of doubt in his heart before, the old man lying on the bed, his skin was rough, his finger joints were very thick, especially his right hand, which seemed much thicker than his left hand, and he should be a person who had been engaged in manual labor for a long time.

So will this be the case with the people who control the entire Habsburg family?

It is true that he is in the late stage of uremia, but uremia can show symptoms at an early stage, and if you want to be an important person, regular physical examinations and usual health maintenance must be in place, and it is impossible not to notice it before.

On the other hand, according to my own examination of him, the old man's physical condition is relatively bad, uremia is not the main cause, poor diet, long-term physical labor, are all causes.

Linked to the inspection report he had seen on the plane before, as well as their distrust of him, Wu Di concluded that the old man in front of him on the hospital bed must not be the patriarch.

It's just to test yourself.

Think about it, since the other party's status is so high, he will definitely not let himself come into contact with it hastily.

Now what Dr. Vista said has clearly confirmed his guess.

Vesta looked at Wu Di, thought about it and finally revealed the mystery: "Doctor Wu, please don't mind!" ”

"It's okay, let's go see the patient first!"

Wu Di didn't pay attention to the uremia patient in front of him, but this disease was not a terminal disease, and when he had just used the "High Jade Emperor Fetal Breath Sutra" to examine him, he had already made a preliminary treatment for his body through his strength.

The kidney tissue, which has failed, is now being wrapped in qi, and although it will not heal immediately, at least it has improved.

By the time Wu Di and Vesta walked out of the room one after another, the corridor outside was already full of people, and it could be seen that the status of these people must be on par with Antonio.

"Dr. Wu's medical skills are very clever!" Vesta walked over to an old man on crutches, this man was wearing a silver suit, his figure was slightly rickety, his hair was all white, and he was meticulously combed, but the skin on his face was ruddy and smooth, and he looked pampered.

"Hmm!" The old man nodded towards Vesta, and then turned to look at Wu Di slightly, his eyes were very direct, and fell on Wu Di's face, making him a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, take him to the patriarch!" After the old man finished speaking, it was a final word, and it was only at this time that Antonio walked out of the crowd and ran to Wu Di's side.

"Mr. Wu, I'm really sorry, I really didn't know much about it beforehand! Later, I learned that it was the opinion of the House of Elders, and I couldn't help it! Antonio said a little embarrassed, after all, this method is inevitably a bit disrespectful to Wu Di.

"I can understand!" Wu Di shrugged his shoulders, no wonder Antonio had wanted to speak and stopped a few times before, it seemed that he really wanted to remind himself at that time, and his attitude was very sincere now, and there was no need for him to be nitpicking.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Antonio smiled wryly, but since he had already walked out of this door and had been approved by the House of Elders, he was naturally going to see the main master.

However, to Wu Di's surprise, the person who led the way in front actually took him downstairs directly, and finally entered the basement, which should not be called a basement, it may be more appropriate to call it an underground castle.

The basement floor, like the structure above, extends in all directions, the rooms are separated, and the wall lamps are dim, but the air circulation system is relatively perfect, and it does not make people feel depressed.

But Wu Di directly followed their guidance and entered the lower three floors, it was really hard to imagine that such a castle would have such a huge and complex layout underground.

On the walls of the corridor on the third basement floor, there are brushstrokes, and by the faint light, it seems that these strokes have existed for too long, and the colors are slowly fading, and what can be vaguely seen is history.

There are wars, coronations, banquets, and deaths, perhaps these murals describe the past of the Habsburg family, and some of the murals are even very bloody, even if they are mottled, but the red color still makes Wu Di feel shocked.

The air was already a little humid when it reached the third floor, no one spoke, and the footsteps kept echoing, listening to the ears, but it seemed to ring in the heart, which made people uncomfortable.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you next!" Because Luis was not qualified to enter here, and as his father and a member of the Elders' House, Antonio, as the father of the introducer, stood beside Wu Di, and finally listened in front of a door.

"Doctor Wu, please come in with me!" Vesta seems to be not an ordinary doctor in this family, and even everyone is turned away, but he can still enter directly with Wu Di.

The door is very heavy, and when it is pushed open, the sound of the door shaft makes people's hearts tight, Wu Di took a breath, I don't know why, after entering the third underground floor, I have an illusion that I can't breathe, like a stone is pressed in my heart.

A crack opened in the door, and as the gap grew larger and larger, the darkness inside actually had a sense of darkness, clearly separating the two worlds from the light outside.

"Please!" Vesta walked in first, Wu Di followed, and after getting used to it, he could see the situation inside, it was cold, damp, and the temperature was at least ten degrees lower than the outside world.

Subconsciously sniffed, and a vague smell of blood permeated it, and he couldn't help frowning and looked at Vesta next to him.

It could be seen that Vesta was in and out of the place, and seemed to be familiar with the road, even if the light inside was really too dark, he still knew it and walked directly to the closet on the side.

"Poof!" A match struck, lit a candlestick, and the light finally brightened a lot.

Obviously there is no window, but there are curtains, the red curtains bring out a strange atmosphere, the Wu set in the room is simple, the big bed, an old man sitting at the head of the bed, hidden in the dark, lifeless.

But Wu Di saw at a glance, and the eyes of the two met, and he knew that he was looking at him.

"Patriarch, the doctor is here!" Vesta held the candlestick, slowly approached the bedside, then placed the candlestick in his hand on the bedside table, and whispered.

"Call him over!" The voice was weak, but with a sense of command that could not be refused.

Wu Di saw Vesta looking at him, and naturally walked over, a face that did not match his age, and even looked similar to Antonio, but in fact, the old man was almost seventy years old.

There are few wrinkles on his face, smooth, but there is no blood, even his lips are faintly white, his eyes are cloudy, and he looks at himself expressionlessly.

"Hello!" The patriarch finally said politely, until now Wu Di didn't know his name, and even Antonio and Luis directly called him the patriarch when they talked about it.

Wu Di was just about to speak, when he was suddenly stunned for a moment, his heart was beating wildly, and the shock in his eyes flashed, but in an instant, he immediately regained his composure and smiled: "Hello! Give me your arm, I need to check your pulse! ”
