Chapter 171: Active Contact

At the beginning of the day, the Catrice Academy was filled with groups of apprentices after class, and even walking in the relatively deserted infirmary building could feel the obvious hustle and bustle.

The night breeze gradually blew, but today's night wind seemed a little noisy, as if a gust of night wind had sent disaster to this infirmary. A strange commotion spread through the corridors, attracting not only the attention of the medical staff, but also the patients who were able to move freely.

When Oscar, Mio, and Curt routinely visit Hepburn, Curt and Hermia split up and start their operations. Hermia follows Oscar to Hepburn's hospital room to check on their health, while Curt maintains a soul connection with Lizzie and begins to investigate the old man's "plan" with Dr. Humpty Dumpty.

The unnatural commotion was caused by Hermia, after all, it was a strange thing that she had come here. The moment she writhed her crimson snake body and followed Curt and the four humans into the lobby of the infirmary building, almost everyone's attention was focused on her.

How could the rare appearance of the Lamian snake race in the academy's infirmary not make people curious? Even the apprentices who were far away began to pour into the infirmary after hearing the news, and the corridor that was supposed to be quiet was made a little noisy by the apprentices who were attracted by curiosity.

"It's just a snake, is it necessary to scramble like some big man to visit? Standing in the middle of the ward, Lizzie whispered with her hands in her hands, "It's not that I haven't seen the Lamia snake race in the encyclopedia, what kind of madness are these magicians?"

Those people may have been a little curious about Hermia. But his cultivation was not bad, except that he was gathered outside the ward, looking at Hermia through the half-open doors and windows. But it's because of this way of watching. It gives Lizzie the unpleasure of being an animal on display in a zoo.

Contrary to Liki, who felt unnatural to the dense gaze, Hermia had long since become accustomed to the gaze of others. Although he still felt uncomfortable because of the clothes on his body, his demeanor was much more leisurely than when he and Curt were in the coffee shop just now. She turned a deaf ear to Lizzie's words, and only focused on observing Hepburn and Oscar in a coma in bed, and occasionally scribbled on a notebook for a while.

Lizzie didn't like Hermia, and Curt could tell from her words and deeds. However, Hermia's attitude towards Liqi made Curt a little incomprehensible. Her personality can't tolerate anyone's ridicule, but Lizzie seems to be the only exception. Rather than retaliate, she chose to turn a blind eye.

Sandwiched between the two, Oscar has to worry about Lizzie's attitude and the temper of the Lamian snake woman they met for the first time - Mio, the little girl, has long since shut her mouth. The atmosphere of the scene made her pale and shrank into the corner of the ward.

However, he was obviously more concerned about Hepburn's physical condition than these, and after glancing at Hermia's swaying crimson snake body, he asked in a low voice, "Uh, I'm sorry." Miss Hermia...... Hepburn: How was he? The doctors said he was fine. But ......"

But he didn't believe the two doctors, who had proven to be unreliable before. And they were the mastermind behind what Danfoss had done, and when this information reached his ears, his attitude towards the two doctors was immediately full of hostility.

"There's nothing unusual physically. ”

Hearing Oscar's question, Hermia fell silent suddenly, and she kept flipping through her notebook for a long time before continuing, "But not necessarily in other aspects...... I don't know what the old guy wants to do on them - it seems to be the realm of spells. ”

Hermia was an excellent apothecary, but he had not systematically studied human spells, and she knew little about the effects of some spells. The old man, on the other hand, was a healer who had mastered esoteric spells and potions, and his knowledge was much deeper than that of Hermia.

Although he has always taken a blind eye to Lizzie's existence. Hermia also had to admit that she might need to rely on Lizzie's strength now. However, she didn't speak, but silently moved her eyes to Liqi, who had begun to close the ward on the side of the corridor because of her unhappiness.

"Hey, what are you all doing here, don't you know it's going to affect the patient's rest?" just as Lizzie tried to close the door to the room. There was a sudden commotion from the crowd, "Spread out, what are you doing, haven't you seen a patient?"

Cold and low, it was the voice of the stocky doctor, who was carrying a basket of different colors of potions close to Hepburn's hospital room, and standing beside him was the old man with a gentle smile. The two pushed through the crowd huddled on the edge of the hospital room and approached Hepburn's hospital room.

Soon, however, their expressions stiffened—for they saw Hermia waiting for them standing in the middle of the room, with his hands in his coat pockets. The short and fat doctor only winked and trembled, but the old man's eyes flickered several times in a moment.

"Hermia of Calesia...... Why are you here?" the old man's mild expression faded and was replaced by a look of wariness and suspicion, "Go back to your 'pharmacy' full of medicines, this is the Catrice College Infirmary—you don't need the venom of your snakes and scorpions. ”

Hermia was clearly afraid of the old man, for he was a man of great fame among a small group of people—more notoriety than prestige. The old man may have known this, which is why he has such a domineering attitude towards Hermia.

"I'm sorry, but I'm also entrusted by someone. ”

However, Hermia was not shaken by the old man's words, but just put on a helpless expression and said, "After all, he bought me a favor, and I can't reciprocate it well...... And, more than you, I'm even more reluctant to stand in opposition to the rest of you here. ”

Hearing Hermia indifferently say that he was already going to be an enemy of the old man, and at the same time hinted that he knew about the existence of the self-proclaimed "True Eye" group behind him, the old man's eyes trembled slightly. The eyes, which were already showing a little chill, now revealed obvious killing intent.

The conversation between them was so low that the crowd behind them didn't hear it—but they had become a shackle to the old man. It was impossible for him to ignore these onlookers and suddenly burst out in front of everyone, and in this case, all his chances would be burned.

"Tsk...... It looks like you're bent on going against us. ”

Knowing that he had stepped into the trap, the old man's brows furrowed, he didn't expect a few young apprentices to have such energy, so Hemia took the initiative to join: "Why-if you don't want to be an enemy, there are people on the other side that you can't solve?"

He knew Hermia's other identity, which is why he was surprised.

As a brilliant "sweeper", Hermia's strength can hardly be questioned, even if François wants to knock her down, he has to be careful not to follow her way. The reason why the "True Eye" didn't provoke her was because of this, and she didn't look like a person who would sacrifice herself for freedom or justice, and she wouldn't make herself the enemy of the entire "True Eye".

But now she's come to the door on her own.

"Why...... I can't advise. Hermia laughed charmingly, and casually lifted her head hanging from the side, "Whether it is a mercenary or a sweeper, it is necessary to keep a little secret from the employer." And suing you doesn't do us any good, does it?"

Now that we are enemies, we certainly cannot pass away information - and Hermia is undoubtedly making this clear. She didn't like what the old man was doing, and now that she had the opportunity to block his path, she was also a little happy.

Although Curt only asked her to force the old man back, he did not say that he would not allow Hermia to take this opportunity to vent the depression in his heart.

Sure enough, the old man's face changed several times in a short period of time, and then he turned and rushed out of the hospital room as if he had thought of something bad. The short and fat doctor who had come with him had no choice but to follow the old man again with a basket of medicines.

At the same time, Curt took advantage of Hermia's time to advance a long way in the infirmary, walking in the corridor of the infirmary, watching the patients passing by discussing Hermia's affairs, Curt couldn't help but smile a little. This was the situation he wanted to create, but he didn't expect it to work so well, Hepburn and their hospital room were almost surrounded by human walls.

In the midst of the commotion, Curt had easily run to the inside of the infirmary, the same hall that Lizzie had followed Dr. Humpty Dumpty to the edge of the hall the previous night. Look at the neighborhood, there are warehouses for medicines and equipment in the infirmary building, and it is obvious that this is an area that is forbidden to unrelated people on weekdays.

According to the image that Liqi Tong Guò's soul connection sent to his mind, the living room in front of him was a studio used only by the old man. In addition to various medical supplies, there are also many unidentified drugs in the glass windows, which are as elusive as Liqi's actual products.

Nothing suspicious could be found in this office, after all, with the old man's style, it was unlikely that he would leave evidence against himself in such an obvious place. Of course, he is the only one who knows where important things are - not even the Humpty Dumpty Doctor as a companion may not.

If you can't find it, let the other party help you find it - Curt sat in a chair in the center of the studio, waiting for the owner of the room to return. (To be continued!)
