Chapter 332: The Past of Drum Island (Please subscribe, please vote)
When civilians encounter Dr. Kuleha accidentally, they will immediately flee home in panic, fearing that she will detect any disease in them.
They were worried that once diagnosed by the witch, Dr. Kuleha would force them to receive treatment and demand high medical expenses after treatment, taking away half of their family property.
This concern is not groundless, because Dr. Kuleha did have similar behavior in the past.
Once, she met a man on the street with his hand on his chest and his face in pain. After diagnosis, she found that he had a myocardial infarction, so she gave first aid on the street.
After the treatment, Dr. Kuleha went directly to the patient's residence and took away half of his property. This almost caused the patient to fall ill again and die.
Therefore, it is reasonable for civilians to be afraid of her.
Dr. Kuleha doesn't care about these worldly opinions.
She was holding a wine bottle in her hand and walking on the road with a slight stagger, turning a blind eye to the whispers and strange looks around her.
You know, Dr. Kuleha is now 140 years old.
In her long and colorful life journey, she has experienced everything from outsiders' compliments to malicious slander and criticism.
For her, these things have long become passers-by in life, unable to stir up a ripple in her peaceful inner lake.
140 years old is an unimaginable concept for ordinary people.
It means that even the man of the golden age, Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, is just a rising star in the eyes of Dr. Kureha.
Whitebeard, Pluto Rayleigh... these powerful and famous pirates, their growth and rise, Dr. Kuleha has been a witness.
When these heroes on the sea were still high-spirited young people, Dr. Kuleha was already a wise man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life.
Her life is like a long epic that spans the ages, and her profound experience is breathtaking.
These unique experiences also allowed Dr. Kuleha to gain insight into some secrets that frightened even the world's governments.
But Dr. Kuleha has no intention of revealing these secrets to avoid being sanctioned by the World Government's Demon-Slaying Order.
She chose to live in seclusion and live and practice medicine quietly in her own little world.
In the eyes of the World Government, she is just a long-lived doctor with no other eye-catching features, so it does not regard her as a threat and does not pay too much attention to her.
Twenty minutes later, Dr. Kuleha led Lin Yi to a castle hidden in the darkness.
This castle was once the residence of King Valpo of the previous generation. It is located on a rugged cliff and is surrounded by dangerous terrain that is almost impossible for ordinary people to climb.
The only passage between the castle and the outside world is a narrow trestle. As long as this trestle is held tightly, the castle will be like an iron wall, difficult to break.
The castle is surrounded by open snowfields. Once an outsider breaks in without authorization, the soldiers patrolling the city walls will immediately be alert.
But for those who are truly strong, destroying a city is like searching for something, and this castle is certainly not an issue.
Lin Yi stood near the castle, and the breeze blew by, bringing a strong medicinal smell.
The smell of medicine slowly spread in the air, as if it were alive, quietly invading every inch of the surrounding space.
Even the gently falling snowflakes seemed to be contaminated by this unique atmosphere, carrying a different kind of charm.
This unique medicinal smell may be because someone is refining medicine inside the castle, or it may be the unique smell emanating from the medical facilities equipped in the castle.
Although the smell is unusually strong, it does not cause discomfort or disgust. After all, in a building where a doctor is resident, this unique medicinal fragrance will gradually saturate every corner as time goes by, becoming its unique symbol.
Dr. Kuleha walked to the castle gate and slowly pushed the heavy stone door open with just his hands without any external force. The strength of it was astonishing.
Lin Yi stepped forward curiously and tried. He pushed the stone door hard, but could only barely move it about 10 degrees. After that, he felt powerless and could not push any further.
It can only be said that Dr. Kuleha's power is indeed a bit terrifying. According to Lin Yi's calculation, if Dr. Kuleha is willing to take action, Blackbeard and his group will not be able to wreak havoc on Drum Island.
Unfortunately, because Dr. Kuleha also hated Valpo, she did not stand up against Blackbeard immediately.
It was only after Blackbeard threatened Valpo and fled that she decided to take action and taught Blackbeard a profound lesson.
Thanks to her action, otherwise, with Blackbeard's ferocious character, the entire Drum Island would have suffered huge damage, and might even have faced a more serious crisis.
Blackbeard is completely different from Straw Hat.
Blackbeard is a pirate through and through, and the constraints of benevolence, morality, propriety, justice and shame are of no avail to him.
There is only one thing in his eyes - getting stronger.
In order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to hide on Whitebeard's ship for many years, hiding deeply and patiently waiting for an opportunity.
Such a person would suddenly change his nature and let the residents of Drum Island go? Lin Yi expressed deep doubts about this.
In his opinion, the possibility of this happening was so slim that it could almost be ignored.
Blackbeard's ambition and cruel nature have been deeply rooted in his bones and are difficult to change.
"Kid, what are you doing there? Hurry up and push the car in."
Dr. Kuleha looked at Lin Yi who was meditating behind him and called Lin Yi.
Hearing Dr. Kuleha's voice, Lin Yi came back from his thoughts and followed Dr. Kuleha's footsteps into the castle.
Dim lights barely illuminated the hall inside the castle.
Because Cigu Island is located on a great waterway and is affected by a special magnetic field, it is covered with snow all year round and has a cold climate.
Inside the castle, Lin Yi noticed a dozen figures in white coats walking busily back and forth.
"Bed check in 10 minutes!"
Although Dr. Kuleha's voice was not high, it seemed to have a penetrating power, ensuring that everyone in the castle could hear it clearly.
When her voice sounded, the doctors in white coats immediately stopped what they were doing.
They quickly arranged their clothes, held the medical records tightly in their hands, and then walked towards the door of the castle in an orderly manner.
Although they did not speak, their respect and obedience to Dr. Kuleha could be seen from their actions and expressions.
Dr. Kuleha did not communicate with them directly, but instructed Lin Yi to put the supplies on the cart into the next room.
While Lin Yi was busy moving and stacking supplies, more than thirty fully armed doctors were already standing neatly in front of Dr. Kuleha, waiting for her next instructions.
