Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World

Chapter 136： A Naturally Gifted Combat Prodigy

The news about the talentless mage transitioning into a knight couldn't be kept hidden any longer, causing Charlotte to feel a bit flustered.

However, since he had chosen to take action tonight, exposure was unavoidable.

Originally, he had wanted to quietly ascend to godhood and stun the world. Little did he expect that tonight, he would embarrassingly detonate lightning in front of everyone.

"Just a beginner knight apprentice, hardly worth mentioning," Charlotte looked at Diana sincerely and said.

"Knight apprentice?" Diana smiled, clearly disbelieving.

"Do you think a knight apprentice can create afterimages? Can pierce through a Level 4 hyena's head with a single sword thrust? Can stuff a fireball spell into a wolverine's mouth?"

"That's right, I am a naturally gifted combat prodigy, that's me," Charlotte nodded earnestly.

Diana burst into laughter, seemingly struck by Charlotte's words, and it took her a while to calm down.

"Let me guess, you also dabbled in magic and martial arts from a young age? Being a prodigious physician from the Calva Medical College, becoming a 4th-tier healing mage at the age of twenty, and yet finding time to practice as a knight?"

After a moment's thought, Charlotte realized that this was a reasonable explanation and sighed with emotion. "It's just a hobby, to keep fit and healthy. Never thought it would become a means of survival one day."

Diana fell silent. If it had been according to his original life trajectory, there was really no need for him to fight desperately against magical beasts, but unfortunately...

"You saved a Fox guard and saved Baka Street. On behalf of the Harriman family, I express my gratitude to you."

Charlotte looked at her with anticipation but said, "The Fox guard has also saved me many times. It's only right to return the favor."

Diana flipped her hand, revealing two dark red orbs in her palm.

"What are these?"

"The demon cores of those two hyenas, a token of appreciation." Diana explained, "The core of the one you killed exploded along with its head."

"You're too kind," Charlotte accepted the demon cores with a tinge of regret.

"Do demon cores always grow inside their heads? Does that mean they can't be exploded if you want to collect them?"

"Most demon cores grow inside their heads, but some grow near the heart, like the Level 5 cheetah you killed tonight. Its core was located near the heart," Diana answered.

"Level 5 magical beast?" Charlotte exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Diana.

"Just how many magical beasts are attacking the Abyss tonight?"

"It's more than usual, but our Abyss has unique terrain, so there won't be large-scale hordes."

Diana smirked, "Calva is quite lively. When you look at the Abyss entrance, the protective shields light up everywhere, and there are magnificent bursts of magic everywhere."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte couldn't help but be amazed. It seemed that tonight's magical beast tide was truly extraordinary.

"However, after tonight, we should discuss with the Duru and Daniel families about installing magical shields at the Abyss entrance," Diana's smile faded, and her expression turned serious.

"There are more than a dozen magical beasts entering the Abyss tonight. We've cleared them from the Harriman territory, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow to assess the damage and casualties caused by the other magical beasts."

Charlotte nodded slightly. If the Harriman family was willing to take the lead in installing super shields at the Abyss, it would be a good thing for the commoners in the Abyss who lacked self-defense capabilities.

At least they wouldn't have to worry and reinforce their houses every Red Moon Night.

Of course, Diana must have her considerations as well.

Currently, the Harriman and Duru families are dominant in the Abyss, while the Daniel family controls Amman Street and a small portion of influence, which is not enough to compete with the two families.

If they could manage things well, it might be possible for the Abyss with a population of over 200,000 to slowly rise from the quagmire and become prosperous.

"Go back and rest well. I've already sent someone to find a physician for you," Diana stood up to leave.

"Aren't you going back?"

"I still need to go to the Abyss entrance and see. It's still lively tonight," Diana smiled and left, opening the door.

The car door closed, and along with it, the howling cold wind.

He looked at the two demon cores in his hand, and his eyes gradually grew fiery.

[4th-tier hyena demon core: Fire attribute, chaotic fire element, quality: low-grade, value: 10 gold coins.]

A remark appeared at the bottom of his vision.

"10 gold coins?" Charlotte was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and confirmed that he didn't miss a zero.

This was a demon core of a 4th-tier magical beast, how could it be worth only 10 gold coins?

But he quickly noticed the description in the note, 'low-grade quality and chaotic fire element.'

Those three hyenas didn't seem weak either, so why were the demon cores of such poor quality?

Nevertheless, a smile soon appeared on his face. A hundred thousand for one, that meant the two cores were worth two hundred thousand. He could directly cash them with Harriman tomorrow, creating a huge sum of money.

Seek fortune in danger!

An Ice Seal spell and a Fireball spell in exchange for two hundred thousand copper coins.

After selling these two demon cores, he would have a fortune of two hundred thousand, which could be exchanged for Potions of Great Strength, allowing him to directly advance to a Mid-level Knight.

How delightful this was!

The carriage drove straight into the Harriman Manor, and the two fox guards carried him into the guest room located in the Diana Villa on a stretcher.

"Doctor, are you all right?"

Agatha looked at Charlotte lying motionless in bed with concern and asked softly.

"It's not a big problem." Charlotte turned his head slightly and glanced in the direction of the door. "But if we don't have a physician, it could be a bit troublesome."

A fox guard hurriedly entered, glanced at Charlotte, and then walked quickly to Agatha's side, whispering, "The doctors from the Duru Clinic have all been sent out to treat injured civilians. Half of Tova Street has been ravaged by monsters, and the casualties are severe. We simply don't have enough manpower."

"What should we do then? The doctor is also in critical condition." Agatha panicked.

Charlotte's heart sank as well. It seemed that many escaped monsters had entered the abyss tonight, and he wondered how many people had fallen prey to their jaws.

Tova Street used to be owned by the Jardson family, but now it was probably given to the Duru family. With a territory that had just been taken over, the guards wouldn't be as tight, leading to half of the street being devoured.

"Agatha, go get Eileen. I am also a physician, but it's not convenient for me to perform the treatment right now. With her help, it should be enough." Charlotte spoke up.

"Alright, I'll go right away." Agatha agreed and quickly left.

Soon, Vivian rushed in, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Charlotte covered in blood. "Boss, please don't die..."

"I'm not dead yet." Charlotte rolled her eyes. The girl's reaction was too dramatic.

"But your face and body are covered in blood. You must be seriously injured." Vivian continued sobbing.

"That's all monster blood. I just broke a few bones and need your help to treat me."

Charlotte explained, and with a secretive wink, he added, "The blood on my face is fake."

Vivian was taken aback and reached out to wipe the blood from Charlotte's face. She indeed couldn't see any wounds, which eased her worry a bit.

She quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get the potions for you."

"Agatha, you and the guards should leave first. I'll assist the boss with the treatment."

Agatha nodded and left with the fox guards.

"Use Healing Magic. I have to open for business tomorrow, so I need to be able to move."

Charlotte watched Vivian searching for the potions and said helplessly.josei

"Okay."

Vivian took out her magic wand and began to chant a spell in a low voice.

Threads of green light flowed into Charlotte's body guided by the magic wand. He could clearly feel his broken bones slowly mending and his injuries being rapidly healed.

It felt like soaking in a comfortable bathtub, warm and soothing, with all the pain disappearing.

"Boss, did you blow yourself up with a fireball again?" Vivian put away her magic wand and looked at Charlotte, who sat up.

She couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What do you mean by blowing myself up? I was just being heroic." Charlotte protested strongly, glancing at his clothes full of holes, sighing lightly.

The losses had increased once again.

"Did you really encounter monsters tonight?"

"Of course. If I had stayed in the alchemy room, I wouldn't be covered in blood or have a few broken bones."

"You're so brave." Vivian gave him a thumbs-up, looking admiringly.
