Chapter 49: The Ship Doctor
"I agree to the deal. Charles said to the doctor who was stitching up the wound.
The doctor's hand stopped, and the corners of his scarred mouth rose to reveal a terrifying smile. "Really, that's great, I'm definitely going to give you the best medicine to get your brain back to health. ”
"But the trading conditions have to be changed, I can give you the "black mirror" ...... hand, but you have to be my ship doctor. ”
If there's one thing he'd learned from his previous battles, it's that there was a ship doctor on a ship, and if there was a skilled doctor in the last battle, the casualties would have been much better.
The doctor lowered his head and snapped the flesh again. "You are not the first one who wants to ask me to be a ship doctor, their ship is bigger than yours, and their strength is stronger than yours, why should I choose you?"
"Because I have what you want, and I value the black mirror so much, you should need more than just this object, but you want to know where it came from, right? ”
After fixing the wound, the doctor stepped back and looked at Charles in detail, as if trying to see what he was thinking from his face. "Show me the black mirror again. ”
Charles threw his phone over. Watching the doctor gently caress the black screen with his hand, his face suddenly showed a tenderness that did not match his appearance at all.
Looking at him like that, Charles wondered what he remembered. "Did he ever have a cell phone?"
"Smack!" the doctor slammed his iron hand on the edge of the bed, "two years, two years on your ship." You tell me everything. ”
"Deal, that thing is yours now, and you can ask me about everything about it at any time when you get on board. ”
As long as he becomes the ship's doctor on the Narwhal, this will ensure that he will not give his phone to anyone else, and 2 years is enough time for Charles to understand the doctor's personality and make the next step.
“nglui mglw...... nafh......”
The murmur sounded in Charles's ears, and he watched as the doctor in front of him quickly distorted the monster, this time it was even more serious, and he felt like his consciousness was being thrown into the washing machine and his clothes were constantly tumbling, threatening to fall apart at any moment.
Charles trembled and touched the gel in the clothes next to him with his hand, but just took it out but was knocked away by the deformed monster in front of him with its tentacles, it rolled up a cup of potion and handed it over.
Looking at the monster in front of him, Char knew it was a doctor, and took the potion with trembling hands and drank it with his head up.
The monster left, and a moment later, it sent more potions, not only potions but also various pill plasters.
All kinds of strange flavors rushed Charles's taste buds over and over again, making him almost lose his sense of taste.
"Doctor, how long will it take?" Charles, who was holding his head with his hands, shouted in pain to the deformed monster in front of him, and the potion did not have an immediate effect.
The mouthparts of the six seven-cheeked eels on the monster's belly opened open and said something, but Charles's ears were muffled by the sound of murmuring, and the other voices could not be heard at all.
It was at this moment that everything that had been distorted slowly began to shrink, and the huge ugly face of Rustto Herman was once again presented to Charles.
"Is it cured?"
The doctor's expression was a little restless, and he kept scratching his half-white hair with his iron hand, and his dandruff was flying. "Impossible!How could the silent salt not work!!"
Looking at him like this, Charles had the answer, and his own auditory hallucinations didn't seem to be so easy to cure.
Suddenly Rustto rushed up to Charles nervously, staring him in the eye.
Charles subconsciously wanted to hide, but was held down by the doctor on the head. "Don't move!"
After a few seconds, the doctor let go of his hand and asked urgently, nervously, "Have you seen anything terrible at sea?"
"I've seen it twice, once eight years ago, and once not long ago. ”
This answer seemed to irritate Rasto, and his body trembled, and he desperately chopped the floor with his steel legs. "I knew, I should have guessed, my medicine is fine!
"This disease has something to do with the gods?"
"Gods?"
The doctor sneered, "I don't know if it's some bullshit god, I just know that as long as the guys who get along with them end up miserable." ”
"Can you cure this disease?"
"It's not a disease, you know? It's a curse! Shit thing! It's killing you at a glance, and it's a god!"
The doctor's ugly face was pressed over again, and his quivering eyes were fixed on Charles.
"I can suppress this symptom, but only for a while, if you want to live, you have to find a way to get rid of the curse yourself. I'm not good at that. ”
Thinking of the auction half a month later, Charles had a judgment in his heart. "Then you help me suppress it first, and I'll settle some personal matters first. ”
The search for the surface reached a critical moment, and he didn't want to be distracted by other things at this time, as long as he could get back to the surface, everything would be fine.
The doctor grabbed a fist-sized sea spider from the bottle under the bed, walked over to the table and began to dispense the medicine. "Let's talk about it first, captain, if you die early within two years, then I will fulfill my promise. ”
"Yes, as long as you don't poison me in advance in order to complete the task ahead of schedule. ”
"Poison!?you're an insult to a healer!!"
For the next ten days, Charles began to taste the various strange potions that the old man had concocted.
Although the various tastes were unsatisfactory, Charles's spirit was obviously much better, and even if the murmur appeared, it was only the size of a mosquito, and the hallucinations never appeared again.
And with the improvement of the recovery power blessed by the black blade, in just a few days, Charles's wounds have almost recovered, and his body has returned to its peak.
"Captain, are you sure that guy is our ship doctor? I secretly saw him add gunpowder to the pills you took the day before yesterday. Second mate Knona asked worriedly.
Charles, who was writing in his diary, paused his hand, and then continued to write, "Do your own thing, how are the crew moods?"
"It's okay, they know the name of this place, and they don't dare to wander around, Captain, how long are we going to stay in this place?"
"It won't be long before that. As soon as Charles finished speaking, a bat broke through the door and took on the form of Odrik. "Captain, Sodom's auction is about to begin!"
Charles put on his captain's coat and walked out of the captain's room.
Led by Odrik, Charles soon found himself in front of a wooden boat, lying on its side, and a door had been opened where the keel should have been placed, which was now the venue for Sodom's auction.
