The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Red House Street, just like its name, all the houses are red brick apartment buildings with the characteristics of the Kingdom of England. The rigidity, rigor and rules are the same.

Locals and outsiders don't like this rigid architectural style very much, so no one will take the initiative to promote this neighborhood. Compared with the childlike Candy Street next door, Red House Street is really quiet.

If this is not the only English residential area in Miria City, maybe the map publishing company here will not be willing to draw this block on the map.

After paying the fare of ten Bia, Leo looked at the red houses in front of him that looked like they were made of the same model, and in his heart he complained about the designer of this block like most other people.

Nelson, who was walking behind Leo and supported by Catherine, was still thinking about what Leo said just now, and the expression on his face was sometimes guilty and sometimes ashamed. a shame.

"Don't think so much, Leo is right, you are our best choice right now." Catherine was very aware of Nelson's personality, and comforted her: "If you really feel that you owe Leo's favor, you can think of more ways in the future. Make amends."

Nelson smiled wryly, sighed slightly, and nodded.

Perhaps because of revisiting the old place, Jason became very excited and talked a lot. While taking the initiative to lead the way, he also introduced to Leo and others behind him how he played in the class when he was a child. The most ridiculous thing is that the playground he talked about is just a block park. If Leo hadn't pulled him, maybe he would have run over to snatch the children's swings to play.

Soon a group of people looked for the house number and came to the number 377 written on the address.

This apartment is a block hospital, perhaps for the sake of eye-catching, the owner of the apartment building painted some white grids on the wall facing the street, although it is just to add a color and a figure, it is incomparable among the houses in the entire block Prominent, you can see it from a long distance.

Leo pushed the door open and walked in. As the door frame hit the bell and made a crisp sound, a young-looking woman lifted the white cloth curtain from the therapist in the inner room and looked outside, and saw that she was leaning on crutches. Nelson thought he was here for treatment, so he said in French: "Please sit on the chair over there for a while, I can finish my work right away."

Knowing that the other party had misunderstood, Leo and the others didn't say anything, but sat on the chair against the wall according to the woman's instructions.

After sitting down, Nelson and Catherine observed the clinic from the perspective of a doctor, and kept nodding their heads. Obviously, they were very satisfied with the layout of the clinic, the arrangement of equipment and the classification of the medicine cabinet, although they did not know yet How good is the medical skill of the clinic owner, but judging from these details alone, the clinic owner has unique insights in medical practice.

After waiting for a while, everyone heard screams coming from the treatment room, which lasted for a long time. In the end, they didn't know if they had no strength to scream anymore, or because they passed out. Anyway, the clinic was quiet again. down.

"If I was injured, I would never come to this clinic." Jason looked at the entrance of the treatment room and said with an ugly face.

Nelson and Catherine on the side gave him a hard look, obviously a little dissatisfied with him for dismissing his colleagues like this.

After a while, the woman from before opened the door curtain and came out, but compared to the clean clothes just now, the blood-soaked clothes at this moment made her look a little creepy.

The woman walked to the side room, quickly changed her clothes, washed her hands, then lifted the curtain of the treatment room, gave some instructions to the nurse inside, and then walked in front of Leo and the others, and looked at Nelson's legs After looking at it, he asked, "How did you get hurt? Does it look like it's been dealt with?"

"I'm not here to see a doctor, I'm here to find someone." Nelson immediately explained: "My name is Nelson Matthew, and I was introduced by Teacher Pierre from Rabbitskin Town. Excuse me, are you Ms. Annie?"

"What? You were introduced by Grandpa Pierre," the woman looked at Nelson in surprise, and then said something surprising: "What enmity do you have with Grandpa Pierre? Why did he want to kill you?"

"Huh?" Not only Nelson was stunned, but even Leo frowned.

"The relationship between Grandpa Pierre and my grandma is very bad. Every time we meet, we quarrel. He also introduced several apprentices to practice here, but every time he was scolded by grandma, he gave up studying medicine." The woman smiled and said : "If you didn't have a big enmity with Grandpa Pierre, how could he introduce you here as an intern?"

Hearing what the woman said, everyone immediately knew that she had misunderstood again, and Nelson quickly explained: "No, no! I'm not here for an internship, I'm here to deliver something. Teacher Pierre asked me to deliver something here Come, leave it to Ms. Anne for safekeeping."

As he spoke, Nelson took out the special container containing the purple crown flower from his backpack.

"Ah! It's a purple crown flower! It's really a purple crown flower!" The woman took it, and after seeing the contents clearly through the glass cover above the container, she couldn't help but exclaimed, counting the petals, and said: "One, Two, three...seven pieces, it's really a purple crown flower with seven petals, I didn't expect this kind of flower to exist in the world!"

Obviously, this woman has been stunned by the thing in her hand, and there is no other expression on her face except shock.

After a while, the woman's mood returned to normal, and she asked Nelson very curiously, "Where did you find this purple crown flower that only appears in mythology?"

"Black Forest." Nelson replied simply.

"Black Forest!" The woman seemed to be looking forward to the Black Forest, and said as if she had made a decision, "I must go to the Black Forest if I have a chance."

"You will die there." Jason suddenly hit the opponent mercilessly, and said hostilely: "Then you will be eaten by the bugs and beasts there and become feces."

The woman looked at Jason, wondering why the burly man in front of her was so hostile to her. Leo, Nelson, and Catherine looked at Jason in surprise, and almost asked directly.

Sensing the questioning gazes around him, Jason pointed to a very beautiful necklace on the woman's hand, and said, "She snatched the necklace my mother made for me, which caused my father to beat me up hard. Meal."

Hearing Jason's words, Leo and the others couldn't laugh or cry. They remember the four-year-old incident until now, so they don't know how to praise Jason for his good memory? Or should he be too vengeful?

"Ah! So you are that little fat man." The woman seemed to remember what happened back then, with a look of sudden realization, and then said to Jason very seriously: "I remember you were injured at the time, I will help you For the treatment, this necklace is the treatment fee you paid for."

"What kind of treatment is that?" Jason stood up from the chair very excitedly, pointed to a spot on his wrist, and shouted at the other party: "You just blew on it and wiped some saliva, what kind of treatment is this?" ?”

"This is healing, the saliva healing method created by me, Adeline Eve!" The woman said with a confident look.

"Okay! Don't say a word. If you two have any grudges, you can settle it yourself. Now let's talk about the business." In order to avoid being dragged into endless places by these two people, Leo immediately stopped him, And forced to bring the topic back, said: "Miss Adeline, right, is Ms. Anne at home now?"

"Not here." Adeline looked at Leo nervously. Leo's aura just now made him feel like he was facing her teacher, and after answering, he felt that his tone seemed a little blunt, worried that he would annoy the other party. He couldn't help but added: "She went to the headquarters of the medical school in Miria City for a meeting early in the morning, and I don't know how long it will take to come back."

Leo nodded and said, "We'll wait here, it should be fine!"

"No, no problem." Adeline shook her head quickly, perhaps feeling that her movements were wrong, and nodded again.

After that, several people sat in the clinic, quietly waiting for that Ms. Anne to come back.

While waiting, Catherine and Nelson were also observing the woman's process of receiving patients. Although there were flaws in some places, most of them were excellent. In Nelson's words, those academic doctors in the medical school were as good as her. Than, it's just a bunch of shit.

It is precisely because of Adeline's outstanding performance that the two who are good teachers can't help but give some pointers when she treats patients.

At first, Adeline didn't pay much attention to it, but soon she found that following Nelson's instructions to treat trauma was much better than the methods she knew, and following Catherine's method of caring for patients could greatly relieve the patient's pain. pain of.

Adeline, who was curious about Nelson and Catherine, couldn't help asking them when there were no patients: "Are you also doctors?"

"Yes." Both of them nodded in unison.

Adeline asked again: "Can I know your names?"

"Nelson Matthew, tutor of Vinyl College of Medicine."

"Catherine Nightingale, chief medical officer of the Cage Clinic."

Adeline didn't react when she heard Nelson's name, she was just surprised that he became a medical school tutor at such a young age, but when he heard Catherine's name, he immediately covered his mouth like a little girl, The face looked at Catherine in disbelief.

Adeline looked at Catherine expectantly, and said, "Are you Miss Nightingale, Miss Catherine Nightingale who wrote the nurse's nursing manual, doctor's nursing manual, and medical specification manual?"

"You have actually read these three books I wrote?" Catherine was also taken aback, and said with a smile: "I thought these three books had been abandoned by the medical publishing house."

"It was abandoned." Adeline said quickly: "But then my grandma accidentally saw your manuscript from the publishing house, and then recommended it to the medical school council. The three books are published as a series of books on medical norms that doctors must learn, and these three books are promoted to all doctors in Velen."

Catherine was also immediately shocked by the good news and couldn't speak. She covered her mouth and couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her face. After all, she had worked so hard for these three books, but in the end, nothing happened. She didn't expect such an unexpected turnaround and such a great success, which made her feel a little out of control for a while.

Naturally, Nelson was at the side to comfort Catherine, and also sincerely congratulated her. Leo didn't bother them. He knew that it was enough to have Nelson by his side at this time, and it would be redundant to join him.

At this moment, the bell at the entrance rang again, and a tall, beautiful middle-aged woman walked in. Seeing the situation in the room, she couldn't help being stunned, and asked Adeline: "Where is this?" What happened? Adeline, did you put someone to death?"

"Grandma, what are you talking about?" Adeline yelled angrily, and then told the woman what happened just now.

When Adeline was talking, Leo, like Jason and Nelson, couldn't help but look at the middle-aged woman in front of him who looked not much older than Catherine. It wasn't because of the woman's appearance and age. The surprise he felt was because he felt the fluctuation of psychic energy in Adeline.

Although not very strong, this psionic fluctuation does exist, and it is not the psionic energy produced by any psionic device or psionic weapon, but comes from the woman's own body, which means that this woman is a psionic By.

After hearing Adeline's introduction, the woman happily walked up to Catherine who was not completely out of the excitement, held Catherine's hand tightly with both hands, and said with a smile: "So it's Miss Nightingale, hello , I’m Anne Eve. I mentioned you during the meeting at the headquarters just now. We were discussing whether you should be listed as a candidate for this year’s Tovey Medical Award or whether you should be listed as a candidate for next year. I didn’t expect you to I came to Miria City in person.”

"Thank you! Thank you!" Knowing that the person in front of her was the one who saved her hard work, Catherine was so grateful that she couldn't express it, and could only thank her again and again.

At this time, Annie discovered the other people around Catherine. She was very sensitive to realize that she might have made a mistake just now. Catherine was not rushed here by the news from the publishing house. So I turned to Catherine and asked, "It seems that you didn't come here for the book, may I ask you this..."

"They were sent by Grandpa Pierre to give you flowers, grandma." Adeline said as she handed over the container containing the purple crown flowers in her hand like a treasure.

"Send flowers?" Annie was stunned, but the container looked at it, with a surprised expression on its face, and said, "Purple crown flower, a purple crown flower with seven petals!"

Annie did not expect that the purple crown flower that she had been looking for for many years would suddenly appear in her hands, and there was also the seven-petal purple crown flower that was only seen in myths and legends, which made her a little at a loss for a while.
