Chapter 590 591. Old Priest
I heard that there was an old priest living in the homeless camp. He opened a clinic in the camp to treat injured demon hunters and made a living. He was very famous in the homeless camp and almost knew the homeless people. All the witchers in the camp.
The consultation fees he asks for vary from person to person. Usually, the more famous a demon hunter is, the more expensive the consultation fees he has to pay.
The dwarf warrior did not go to the old priest for treatment because he felt that the old priest's charges were unreasonable and wanted to use the strong physique of the dwarves to force the dark energy out of the body...
Even if Roy doesn't dare to come over for treatment, the dwarf warrior will slowly recover after surviving these few days...
Roy lay next to the tent, his body quickly regaining its mobility.
Since the sacred particles in the Dark Land were extremely thin, the power of the Holy Light in his body recovered very slowly.
Roy first conducted a comprehensive examination on the injured dwarf warrior in Evelei's demon hunter team and found that the dwarf warrior was mainly contaminated with the air of darkness. The dwarf warrior's injuries could be healed by just using the purification technique.
When the dwarf warrior was doing the inspection, he still held a wine glass in his hand.
He very generously invited Roy to have a drink...
Roy smiled and rejected the dwarf warrior's proposal, and warned the dwarf warrior that it was best not to drink alcohol when he was contaminated with the aura of darkness.
The dwarf warrior hummed and agreed, but Roy knew very well that the dwarf warrior The soldier didn't pay much attention to his warnings.
Although the dwarf warrior's troubles can be solved by just casting a purification spell, Roy plans to wait a little longer this time. He wants the power of holy light in his body to recover a little before he can treat the dwarf warrior who loves to drink.
Then Roy proposed to Evelei that he wanted to visit the old priest...
Evelei stood outside the camp and pointed out the location of the old priest's residence to Roy. To be honest, this homeless camp was actually not big. Everyone just set up some tents around the bonfire.
Evelei told Roy that there were a lot of bloody gauze hanging outside the old priest's clinic, and some bottles and jars were also hung outside the tent.
The tent was very dilapidated and had a lot of debris piled outside.
Roy stood at the door of the tent, looked inside the tent, and asked in Elvish:
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
It was a very old elf, without a trace of divine aura on his body. He looked a little thin, and his eyes were a little cloudy. He was wearing a dirty linen robe, and he couldn't look like a priest at all.
He opened the door curtain and looked up at Roy.
The old priest invited Roy into the tent. The tent was very dirty, with a rotten and greasy smell. There were two beds placed side by side in the tent. These two beds took up almost all the space in the tent.
The old priest pointed to the low stool beside the bed and said to Roy:
"Sit down!... Priest?"
Roy nodded and explained to the old priest:
"But I don't believe in Lady Liberty."
"Oh?" The old priest looked at Roy with obvious surprise and said solemnly: "I thought you were also a young priest who fell behind from the expeditionary force. It seems that I was wrong. They called me Old Pike. I’ve been living in this homeless camp for a long time, what do you want from me?”
Roy didn't go around in circles and directly explained his purpose: "Have you ever met a great priest named Reed?"
Old Pike shook his head and said:
"I am the accompanying priest of the first batch of expeditionary force. There is no priest named Reed in my team. I don't know if other teams have high priests named Reed..."
When Roy heard Old Pike say that he was the accompanying priest of the first expeditionary force, he felt that he might not know High Priest Reed.
High Priest Reed accepted the call from the Golfito Temple of Liberty and joined the third Temple of Liberty expeditionary force...
Since the other party did not know High Priest Reed, Roy was ready to say goodbye to Old Pike.
Just at this time, the curtain of the tent was opened from the outside, and a strong human man walked in from the outside. He was wearing a set of silver magic armor, with a sword hanging on his waist, and two sharp axes on his back. , a pair of eyes showing murderous intent...
"Old Parker, hurry up and treat Hans's injuries. He was scratched by a shadow demon and was poisoned. He looks to be in very bad condition!" The strong human man rushed into the tent and hurriedly said to the old priest.
His voice was so loud that it made the whole tent buzz.
The old priest looked embarrassed and said very tactfully: "The power of the priest in me has been exhausted today. I need to take a rest. I will not be able to release the Holy Light Technique until noon tomorrow..." "
The strong human man simply ignored what the old priest said. He bent down and said loudly to the old priest: "Old Pike, please help. Maybe Hans will die before noon tomorrow. As long as you We are willing to save my good brother Hans, and we are willing to double the medical fee!" "This is not a matter of adding money. You also know that this is a dark place, and our power of holy light recovers very slowly. I What can be done?"
The old priest said with an embarrassed look on his face, then his expression changed, he squinted his eyes like a cunning fox, and asked tentatively:
"Are you really willing to pay double the consultation fee? You should know, right? As the most famous demon hunting team in the homeless camp, your own consultation fees are very expensive."
"When have I never fulfilled my promise to you?" the strong human man promised, patting his chest.
"Bring it in..." The old priest waved his hand to the strong human man, and then muttered: "Although I have exhausted the power of the Holy Light, I have a way to make your companions persist until tomorrow. At noon, when my power of holy light recovers, I can help him heal his injuries!"
The strong human man turned around and walked outside the tent, just in time to see Roy standing in the corner.
He stared at Roy suspiciously, his eyes constantly wandering over the magic pattern structure Roy was wearing.
The strong man pursed his lips, stared at Roy and asked:
"Why haven't I seen you before...new here?"
The old priest stretched out his hand and pushed Roy and urged him: "Boy, go and lend a hand, carry the injured in and put him on the bed."
Then he turned around and said loudly to the strong human man: "He is here to learn medical skills from me. Just go back and wait after you carry him in. Come and take your companion away tomorrow afternoon."
Pretending to stare at Roy's back, he frowned at the old priest.
At present, the most transcendent person in the homeless camp is the old priest who can heal the demon hunters. Although the strong man is a little greedy for the magic pattern structure on Roy's body, he does not want to have a grudge with the old priest, so he can only He walked out of the tent angrily.
The strong human man carried an injured companion into the tent and carefully placed him on the bed.
Only then did Roy realize that the two large beds placed side by side in the tent were used to treat patients. No wonder the old priest had just asked Roy to sit on a low stool.
The injured man's abdomen was almost torn out with some sharp instrument, and his intestines almost flowed out. It is not known what kind of hemostatic technique the other party used. Although his abdomen was torn out, the bleeding did not continue.
The injured person was still awake at this time, looking at the old priest eagerly, and asked the old priest in a trembling tone:
"Old Parker, do you think I can be saved? Can I be saved if I'm injured like this?"
"All the intestines were cut off? The other organs are fine. There is no damage to the liver, spleen and kidneys. Only the internal organs are contaminated with black evil energy and need to be removed. Don't worry, your good brother has promised to pay me double the consultation fee. Even if it's For that medical fee, I, Old Pike, will definitely rescue you and ensure that after you recover from your injuries, you can still go out and hunt dark creatures!" the old priest promised, patting his chest.
When the injured man heard what Old Pike said, he immediately calmed down.
The strong human man also stood at the door of the tent, lowered his head and said to the old priest: "Old Pike, Hans will be taken care of by you!"
After saying that, he threw a bag to the old priest, and then the group of demon hunters turned and left...
The old priest dug out a small watering can from the debris outside the tent. He rinsed the small watering can casually, poured some diluted green concoction into the small watering can, and sprayed it on the injured person's abdomen. The green concoction quickly formed a protective oil film on the injured man's abdomen.
He poured a little more concoction, stuffed the glass tube directly into the injured man's mouth, and said to him:
"Go to sleep, have a good sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, your injury may have healed to some extent, and you will have to recover for a while."
The injured man gradually closed his eyes amid the old priest's nagging.
"They are the most powerful group of demon hunters in this exile camp. You must keep a distance from them in the future, otherwise you may be swallowed by them to the point where you are left with nothing but bones and dregs..." The old priest said in a very low voice. whispered to Roy.
He talked a lot, and Roy listened very carefully.
When he finally left, Roy stood at the entrance of the tent, bowed to the old priest, and said sincerely: "Old Parker, thank you."
After leaving Old Parker's tent, Roy's ears were still filled with what Old Parker said:
'This is the Exile Camp. You can treat it as an area where no dark creatures have entered for the time being. You can rest here and make deals with other demon hunters, but you must not let down all your vigilance, because there are lurking monsters here. The danger...is often more deadly. ’
‘No witcher is good, but it cannot be said that all witchers here are evil. ’
'Although good and evil are opposites, they will coexist at the same time. When your strength can be recognized by everyone, you will get the respect you deserve in this camp, and you will feel everyone's goodwill. When you are useless, If you are a weakling, someone will definitely bare their sharp fangs at you. ’
'The demon hunters who live in the dark land are full of wildness and strong men with ruthless methods, so you must remain vigilant at all times...'
