Chapter 206: Don’t Worry! I’m a Professional DoctorA few minutes later.
Town square.
Dozens of humans and dwarves held shotguns, vigilantly and solemnly surrounding the werewolves bound in the square, preventing them from suddenly attacking.
Torches illuminated the town square brightly.
On the other side, at an outdoor table, several priests and gunslingers stood behind the Mayor, warily watching the smiling, amiable young man opposite them.
The Mayor stroked his white beard, looking hesitantly at Lynn across from him, and said:
"You're saying that all those werewolves were subdued by one person alone?"
Lynn smiled and adjusted his glasses, saying: "Ah! Piece of cake. I was just walking peacefully on the road when suddenly I got attacked. I had no choice but to defend myself."
A priest glanced at Lynn, quickly walked over to the elderly man, and whispered:
"I just checked. Without exception, all those werewolves are suffering from several different types of illnesses. They're in a weakened state and can no longer pose a combat threat.""And..."
He lowered his voice further.
"Judging by the werewolves' reactions, they're all extremely afraid of this person, as if all those illnesses were caused by him."
Hearing this, a grave expression appeared on the Mayor's face.
Almost instantly.
A terrifying name surfaced in his mind.
[Plague Doctor]
If Night Doctors were extremists dedicated to eradicating all diseases from the creatures of this world, then their counterparts were the Plague Doctors.
They were mysterious beings devoted to spreading plagues and curses across various worlds.
No matter where they appeared.
Wherever they showed up, they would inevitably bring terrible plagues and curses.
They were a group of extremely chaotic evil twisted beings.
Could it be...
The Mayor instinctively glanced at the young man sitting opposite him, looking at the amiable smile on his face, feeling waves of unease in his heart.
"Might I ask..." the Mayor said hesitantly, "You are..."
Lynn smiled and introduced himself: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Lynn, I'm a doctor. I came here seeking guidance, because I heard that Night Doctors often appear near this town, so I specifically came to visit." ꞦÄꞐÖʙÈṥ
Lynn was very polite.
But after hearing his words, the Mayor was shocked, and the people around them all changed their expressions dramatically.
Night Doctors?
He was looking for those Night Doctor lunatics?!
This... this is ridiculous!
Seeing their expressions, Lynn adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "Because I heard that Night Doctors are the most skilled medical group in this world, I've admired them for a long time. But I haven't been able to find an opportunity to contact them, which has been somewhat troubling."
"Might you know where I can find Night Doctors?"
Lynn was courteous, like a true gentleman.
And immediately, the Mayor's status panel appeared before his eyes.
[Silent Town Mayor · Karmon]
[Level]: 80
[Race]: Human
[Alignment]: Lawful Good
[Combat Ability]: Extremely powerful holy abilities (Aged)
[Introduction]: One of the accompanying priests of the Sacred World's Expeditionary Force. After the expeditionary force was scattered, he led some followers through various places in the Dark World, and eventually established Silent Town in the Cursed Territory. Because he accidentally obtained a Holy Relic, he has been continuously seeking a way to return to his own world...
The elderly man named Karmon steadied his thoughts, looked deeply at Lynn, and said:
"First, thank you for subduing these werewolves that attacked us. I can also see that you are not an evil person. But if you want to contact them in order to seek more advanced medical skills..."
"I'd advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible, because that group of people are not friendly individuals."
Hearing this, Lynn immediately leaned forward and said seriously, "So that means, you know where they are?"
The old man frowned tightly, clearly reluctant to answer this question.
But finally, he shook his head and said:
"No, I don't know."
"But our town is indeed within their area of activity!"
"Previously, whenever the Red Moon descended and those werewolves attacked us, one or two Night Doctors would often appear in the town to help us treat the werewolf curse."
Lynn said in surprise, "For free?"
The old man was taken aback and said, "Um... yes, for free."
Lynn thoughtfully muttered to himself, "So enthusiastic..."
Hearing this, the dark-skinned young man behind the old man immediately became furious. He slammed the table and said:
"What enthusiasm! That's ridiculous! They're all a bunch of lunatics! They claim to be treating you, but they're actually torturing you! They... they..."
Lynn looked towards the young man.
He immediately noticed that on his dark skin, horrifying suture threads crawled across it like terrifying scars.
The young man looked at his own hands in frustration and said:
"They cut me open! Although I got rid of the werewolf curse, they turned me into this kind of stitched-together freak! And they actually claimed I was cured... I... I..."
The old man took a deep breath and gestured for him to step back.
He looked gravely at Lynn and said:
"He's the child of my old friend. During the last Blood Moon, he was infected with the curse by a werewolf. Although the Night Doctors helped eliminate the curse's effects, they also turned him into this neither-human-nor-ghost appearance."
He shook his head and said, "He doesn't have much goodwill towards Night Doctors, so please understand."
And Lynn immediately noticed.
Among the surrounding humans and dwarves, more than one person had suture threads covering their bodies.
Clearly, they had all experienced the Night Doctors' "treatment."
Lynn thought for a moment, then the corners of his mouth lifted, saying: "I see."
He stood up, a confident smile appearing on his face, adjusted his monocle, which reflected a gleam of light.
"How about this: as you can see, I'm a doctor, and I happen to be quite knowledgeable about cosmetic procedures. If you don't mind, I can help remove those scars on your bodies. What do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone around showed astonished expressions.
Especially that young man, who immediately lifted his head, even his breathing becoming rapid.
Those horrifying crisscrossing suture threads had been troubling him for a long time.
He had tried removing them himself before.
But even removing just a little bit would immediately cause his flesh and blood to separate, as if he had lost the ability to heal, which was terrifying.
"You... you mean..." the young man stammered.
Lynn smiled and said: "That's right, I'm an excellent surgical doctor."
...
A few minutes later.
Inside a house in the town.
[Ding! You have triggered a quest: Special Suture Removal, Quest reward: 500 Skeleton Coins, 500 basic EXP, Townfolk Affinity +30]
Mayor Karmon looked gravely at Lynn, who had put on a white coat and was full of confidence, then glanced at the breathless young man beside him, and said worriedly:
"Doctor, are you sure you can restore Kallen to normal?"
"These wounds are very special. If we rashly remove the threads, he might turn back into a pile of flesh chunks."
Lynn adjusted his monocle and smiled:
"Don't worry, I'm a professional."
