Chapter 415 – New intersection

Blanche went to treat Memphis first, but Memphis looked firmly at Mr. Mars Eisen. Although he had joined the team in a new identity, in his eyes, everyone in the team except Karun and Richard were like children.

Without any hesitation, Blanche immediately went to treat Mars.

Richard got up, and although he had lost a lot of blood, he needed help to stand, but now he was one of the healthiest people.

He walked to Memphis and wanted to check Memphis's condition, but Memphis closed his eyes and ignored him. Richard bent down to check the wound on Memphis's back. The flesh and blood had begun to decay, and as he placed his hands opposite each other, white threads shot out and quickly intertwined into a white cotton ball.

Richard then shot a thread at Memphis's wound, and soon, the black poison was extracted along the thread.

In this situation, the most important thing was to handle the contamination as soon as possible, and it absolutely could not be delayed.

Memphis felt a strange itch on his back, turned to look at Richard, and was surprised that his son was actually useful, which filled him with a sense of relief.

Richard misunderstood Memphis's expression and said proudly, "Hey, hey, my dad always beats me at home, and believe it or not, it actually works. I found that using this method to remove blood stasis is very suitable for me. I thought about whether it could have other effects, and it turns out it does."

Memphis spoke, "It seems that your dad's beatings are effective for you."

Richard nodded and said, "When I grow up, I'll beat him every now and then, and maybe it will help him develop some new abilities. At the very least, it will keep him healthy."

Memphis: ""

The cotton ball was almost completely black, and there was no more black coming out of Memphis's back wound, indicating that the detoxification was almost complete.

Richard took out a bottle of energy potion and drank it, then got up and went to Mars, creating another thread to help Mars extract the poison.

By this time, Mars had already been treated by Blanche in the first round, and not much poison was extracted.

Mars lay on the ground, breathing heavily, and pointed to his chest, asking Richard, "It seems like it's injured inside."

Richard reached out and carefully checked under Mars's clothes. "The good news is that the wound is very deep, but it shouldn't have actually damaged any organs. After the initial treatment, you should be fine after staying in the church hospital for a few days."

"What's the bad news?" Mars asked, as a symmetricalist.

"The wound is a bit strange, it's a bit too deep, which caused your two nipples to be cut off." Mars: ""

Richard continued, "When you go to the church hospital for treatment and recovery, remember to remind the doctor to pay extra attention to these two areas during recovery. You should also give more input, don't always be indifferent, otherwise they won't put in the effort to help you recover."

Mars was somewhat helpless, "What does it matter?"

"How does it not matter? These are two sensitive areas, it's a pity to lose them."

Mars: ""

Richard staggered to his feet and walked to Alfred. He was very tired, but he was still persevering.

Being a slacker in an excellent team may seem comfortable, but it also requires facing great psychological pressure. While he was still useful, Richard wanted to shine a little more.

The thread was connected to Alfred's arm wound, and the black poison was quickly extracted. The Bright Insect cultivated by Mr. Phileas himself originally embodied the belief of Phileas and his group facing the light. Although it had become a curse insect against the Dark Moon clan for a long time, its essence had not actually changed.

"Thank you, you've worked hard," Alfred said.

"Hehe, don't be so polite," Richard stood up, shook his head, and then staggered and sat on the ground.

Blanche came over and thoroughly cleaned Alfred's wounds.

After resting for a while, Richard immediately got up and walked to Karun.

Karun also got up at this point.

"Are you injured?" Richard asked with concern.

Karun shook his head, "I'm fine."

Although he was injured by Kulesa, he did not have direct contact, and Karun was not worried about this type of contamination.

"Go check on Aisley," Karun said.

"I'm fine," Aisley also got up. She was a bit overdrawn and was currently feeding herself energy potions.

In fact, she was not weak. At her age, she had good qualities in all aspects, after all, she was the one who stood out in the selection in the York City area. However, the profession of a summoner requires the accumulation of years. Not only does she need to learn and improve herself, but she also needs enough time to cultivate good relationships with those powerful monsters. What Aisley needs now is time.

Karun walked to the front and came to Filomena.

Filomena lay quietly on the ground, her right hand completely bone, but she had stopped the bleeding herself.

"You've worked hard," Karun said.

Filomena looked at Karun and didn't speak. She was not used to this situation. Compared to before, she seemed more accustomed to Karun's cold and resolute attitude towards her.

Karun placed his palm above Filomena and used healing magic. He didn't have advanced healing magic, and system healing still required going to the church hospital and using exclusive medications to have a real effect. What he was doing now was just to make her a little more comfortable.

In a way, she really did her best. Her performance this time was enough to erase the last bit of resentment Karun had towards her because of what happened before.

In fact, she was just a poor girl with social anxiety.

If it were in the past, she should have been a client that he would have treated carefully.

Richard also staggered over and sat down, holding a cup of water in his hand, and whispered, "Good girl, open your mouth, I'll give you some water. I added some tonic to it that my grandmother made for me."

Filomena opened her mouth and Richard fed her some water. Soon, she felt the special medicine in the water, and her body suddenly showed signs of activity, which had almost fallen into a state of languor.She asked in confusion, "Why didn't you eat earlier?" "I just sprayed some blood, and since I can't die, I didn't want to eat it. I thought of leaving it for you to use, after all, you guys are more powerful than me."

Karun looked at Richard.

Richard handed the cup to Karun and asked, "Do you want some too?"

Karun shook his head and asked, "Did you feed Memphis?"

"No, ladies first." "Hmm, don't tell him."

Karun stood up and walked to Murie, who was sitting there with his arms a little cramped. "How are you?" Karun asked. "No big deal," Murie smiled.

"Hmm." Karun patted his shoulder.

Murie was the toughest person in the team, different from Richard, who was beaten. Bare-chested, Bart was still panting heavily, and when he saw Karun approaching, he waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Karun walked towards Wenzula.

Hmm,

Wenzula was not lying on the ground, but squatting next to Sains's body. Hearing familiar footsteps, he turned around, revealing a face that was half burnt, and excitedly shouted:

"Captain, big fish, big fish!"

This scene made Karun feel a little dazed. He was originally such a pure child, but he was influenced by himself to become like this.

Clearly, half of his body was burnt, but he didn't lie on the ground to endure the pain, but instead came over to touch the body.

Karun squatted down next to Wenzula, feeling sorry for him, and asked, "Is there anything good?" "This, this, and these."

Wenzula first showed Karun the magic wand, the original gemstone inlaid in the wand was now empty, and the temporary replacement of the black crescent moon had also dissipated.

But the wand was light in hand, with countless intricate patterns inside. Even without the gemstone, its value was still very high.

In addition, Sains's damaged clothes, the material of the clothes was better than high-end divine robes, and although the array inside was damaged, there was still a chance to repair it, and it was very valuable.

Various scattered accessories were all low-level sacred-grade decorations.

In short, these things added up to at least seventy to eighty thousand order vouchers, and if they could be repaired, the price could be further increased.

Wenzula regretfully said, "There are still some things left on him, but the others are empty." "They are afraid of leaving behind bodies and personal items as evidence."

Richard pointed to the missing head of Sains and said, "When I faced him earlier, I thought the copper mask on his face was the most valuable."

Upon hearing this, Karun re-examined the headless body and quickly discovered that something was wrong. The internal structure of the body was very simple, with some organs missing, and the skin texture and bone structure here were too neat, as if they had been deliberately "trimmed."

Wenzula continued, "So it shouldn't have been blown off, and the mask is gone too."

"She did the right thing." Karun clearly referred to Philomena. "This is a puppet." Wenzula widened his eyes and said, "So powerful, and it's just a puppet?" "Yes, if she has the ability to communicate with the main body, the most effective way to stop her is to get rid of the head."

"Oh, I see, I'm just not knowledgeable enough." Wenzula looked at Philomena, who was still lying there being fed water by Richard, and exclaimed sincerely, "She's so strong, Captain, I feel that in our team, you are the most powerful, and she is the second most powerful."

"I know this."

During the selection in the big area, only she could continue to confront him in the position of the mountain peak.

"It was almost because of me that our team almost lost such a powerful person."

Wenzula always thought that Karun had initially refused Philomena's entry into the team to vent his anger. Karun laughed when he heard this, and patted Wenzula's burnt hair, "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself."

Some things cannot be rushed. Without the initial friction and opposition, without suppressing her arrogance a bit, in the previous situation, she might have rushed forward on her own at the beginning, ignoring cooperation and orders.

The final result might have been that she and he would have charged to the front together, and perhaps this crisis could have been overcome, but at least half of the team would have died.

After everyone's injuries were initially treated, Karun immediately ordered to move away from here. They couldn't stay here for too long, for fear of accidents.

Acelos had been anxiously waiting for a message from Karun, so that it could use the distress scroll, but it never came. Just when it was very anxious, it received a summons from Karun to dive. Bubbles were expelled one by one, enveloping everyone and entering Acelos's body.

They were temporarily safe here.

Karun walked over, picked up the sleeping Puerh, found a flatter place, and sat down, closing his eyes for a while.

Puerh stretched out her claws in her sleep, felt the person next to her, then changed the position of her pillow and continued sleeping.

After returning to the shore, they quickly discovered the guard post, which belonged to Sains's people.

Before long, Sains came over with his men. He saw that many people in Karun's team were seriously injured, but he didn't ask anything and immediately arranged for Karun and the others to be sent to the church hospital in Sanpu City.

When handling the admission procedures, Sains helped Karun by concealing the identity information of the injured. The injuries of Karun's team and others were turned into the injuries of Sains's team and others. Of course, medical expenses had to be paid, and some extra fees had to be paid.

The downside of taking on private tasks was that after being injured, they couldn't receive public medical treatment. They couldn't report that they were injured while tomb raiding, right?

But fortunately, the medical expenses were not expensive.

Karun had considered before and found that among various expenses that required order vouchers, medical expenses were the most cost-effective.

After settling all the team members, Karun carried Puerh to the nurse's station, dialed the hospital where the captain was, and soon, the nurse called for Neo. "Hehe, I heard from the nurse that this is a call from the hospital in the next city. It looks like we've become hospital buddies, right, Karun?" "I thought you would ask me first if everything went smoothly, after all, you invested fifty thousand order vouchers." "There's no need to ask about that. You're in the hospital now, and you've paid such a high price, so you must have gained a lot. I won't lose money. It's just a matter of how much I earn." "Many people in the team are injured." "Is there any death?" "No." "That's good, it's not a big deal as long as no one dies." Neo comforted. "Hmm."On both ends of the phone, there was a moment of silence before Neo could no longer hold back, "Hey, I said I'm confident, but are you really not going to report anything to me?" "It's not clear over the phone, and it's inconvenient. There's quite a bit to deal with, and it's somewhat significant." "Oh, is that so? Then we'll talk when you get back." "Then I'll hang up first, squad leader." "Mm, you get some rest."

After hanging up, Karun gently shook his neck. He had a hospital room of his own, not for treatment, but for rest.

The church hospital was much better than ordinary hospitals, with each room having its own en suite bathroom. Karun took a bath first, then lay down on the bed, placing the still-sleeping Puerh beside his pillow, closed his eyes, and went to sleep. This sleep lasted until the afternoon of the next day.

When he woke up, Karun felt he could sleep a bit more, but he was too hungry.

He reached out and touched Puerh beside the pillow; the cat was still sleeping soundly. The supplements she had eaten in the past few days seemed to be truly effective, enough to sustain her through her sleep.

Karun carried Puerh out, just in time to bump into Richard, who was coming down the corridor carrying a pile of food. "Let's eat together, Karun," Richard said with a smile. "Alright."

What Karun didn't expect was that everyone had gathered in Philomena's room. When Karun entered, he could clearly feel an awkward atmosphere.

Philomena lay on the hospital bed, her right hand wrapped in plaster, her brow slightly furrowed, clearly uncomfortable with this "enthusiastic" atmosphere.

But everyone stubbornly came to show their concern, then ignored her mood and started to dine with the food they brought.

Esli took the initiative to feed Philomena, who wanted to refuse since she had one good hand and could eat by herself. But seeing Karun was also there, she could only accept the feeding from Esli.

"Be good, eat a bit more, so you'll recover faster," Esli said with a smile as she fed her. In fact, before this, Esli had looked down on Philomena the most. Being a woman herself, she couldn't have a good impression of another woman who liked to put on airs.

But respect is earned through one's own strength, just like when Karun was in the Hound Squad. As long as you are strong enough to help your teammates survive, everyone naturally changes their attitude towards you.

After everyone had finished eating, Karun spoke up, "The gains from this mission are not small. Once we're back and have dealt with them through the black market, it will be distributed to everyone."

Alfred, with his arm in a bandage, stood up and said, "Please rest assured, I will handle it as quickly as possible."

Karun continued, "Regarding this incident, we must adhere to the original requirement of absolute secrecy. I know it's unusual for the followers of the Moon God Cult to appear there, but they're all dead now. And currently, my Order of the God Church is negotiating with the Moon God Cult. Even if we report this incident, the higher-ups will suppress it. However, I will not give up investigating this matter. Once there are results in the future, I will inform everyone."

Everyone nodded.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and a nurse stood at the entrance, "Mr. Karun? Someone is looking for you."

Karun stepped out of the ward to the nurse's station and saw Neo sitting in a wheelchair being pushed by Vanni. "Captain, why are you here?"

Karun was somewhat surprised and also pleased.

Neo sighed, "It's bad, did you hurt your head?"

Vanni spoke up, "The squad leader is worried about you, but Karun, you don't seem to be injured?"

"I'm fine." "Vanni, I'd like to talk to Karun alone." "Yes."

Karun walked over to Neo, took the wheelchair from Vanni's hands, and pushed Neo out to the courtyard of the hospital building.

Both men said almost simultaneously, "There's something I want to mention first."

Neo smiled, "Come on, you go first."

Karun began, "The ones who sent out the information to bait and fish were people from the Moon God Cult. We encountered their attack when we left the tomb, but we killed them all." "Coincidentally, I just received a notification that the Moon God Cult's Divine Child will personally lead a delegation to visit York City, and your squad has been named as the close protection team."
