Chapter 529
The seal of power does not mean that Xia Lan has lost her keen insight. After all, the adventures that have been through life and death over the years are not nothing. Perhaps he doesn't know why the patrol team ignored him, but he knows that since he left the pass and went to Linquan Town, there were people around him watching them all the time.
The identity of the surveillance is basically no need to elaborate on. Who else can be there besides the garrison at the pass? It is nothing more than a preventive measure that cannot be questioned and uneasy. If Xia Lan and Joanna violate the warning and leak Viscount Kalin, or accidentally reveal other hidden facts during the conversation, the other party will definitely appear in detention and interrogate them again as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Xia Lan would not give them this opportunity.
Wandering aimlessly in Linquan Town for a long time, Xia Lan found through careful observation and chatting with people that the prosperity and peace of Linquan Town is just a superficial phenomenon. He ignored the mediocre and ignorant civilians, and could see the clues from the large number of business travelers gathered in the town.
Merchants have always believed that time is money. In terms of transportation and trade, the longer they stay in a place, it will inevitably have a serious impact on business. However, the business travelers in Linquan Town stopped. The reason is nothing more than watching the situation of the war in the south. Once the south falls, business is small and it is not worth losing their lives. No wonder they did not meet a team of business travelers when they were walking on the ancient road in the forest. It turns out that the problem lies here.
When night fell, Xia Lan returned to the hotel.
As soon as he lay down in the room to rest, Joanna next door knocked on his door in panic.
"Brother Alan! Not good! Nina seems something is wrong!"
Joanna said this and her eyes were swollen, her lips were blue, and tears were like broken pearls that kept falling on her pale face.
Upon hearing this, Xia Lan walked towards Joanna's room without saying a word. When he saw Nina's eyes closed on the bed, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. He touched Nina's forehead, which was so hot. After checking her pulse and heartbeat, she found signs of weakness. Even if she didn't understand medical principles, she could tell the degree of Nina's health at a clear eye.
"Nina's situation is urgent and she must receive emergency treatment!"
Xia Lan took a deep breath, wrapped Nina in the quilt and hugged her in her arms. He threw this sentence at Joanna and rushed out of the room.
"Brother Alan! Brother Alan! Where are you going to take Nina?" Joanna behind her cried anxiously.
"church!"
The voice echoed, and Xia Lan's figure had already run out of the hotel like a gust of wind.
The medical treatment in the Elderland world is simple and crude, basically based on potions and holy light treatment. The medical effects of both have their own advantages, and it is not a good or bad one. However, now that the pharmacy is declining, the holy light treatment that has been passed down from the hegemony era has undoubtedly become the first choice for people. Furthermore, in order to attract believers, the Light Church often gives believers free medical treatment. As a result, people become more and more inclined to treat holy light treatment after they get sick, and the pharmacy is becoming more and more declining. When she first met Winnie, she often complained that the Light Church had robbed the life of middle and lower-level pharmacists.
In short, the Holy Light Treatment is very popular in Elderland. As long as the priests of the terminally ill church are not bound to die, they can rejuvenate their youth, provided that you need to pay enough price, of course, minor illnesses and pain are not included.
I thought Nina was a common discomfort caused by the fatigue of the journey, but I never thought that she would fall to such a serious illness. Even the therapeutic potion was not effective. You should know that his potion was specially made for him by Winnie, who had stepped into the threshold of the potion master. An ordinary person could use a drop of it to be more energetic. Why would Nina backfire after using it? Could it be that Winnie poisoned the potion?
Thinking of this, Xia Lan's eyelids twitched suddenly.
Because there is indeed this possibility.
It is true that she loves Xialan, but there are many kinds of love.
Her love was too heavy, so heavy that it was almost twisted.
Even if Xia Lan is a dead person, she will love this corpse deeply. Or rather, she would rather Xia Lan be a dead person, a dead person who only belongs to her.
Winnie once said that she would kill Xia Lan many times, but Xia Lan never gave her this opportunity.
And did she really give up?
Xia Lan didn't know.
Because he never knew this woman seriously from beginning to end.
The church and hotel in Linquan Town are a block away. Xia Lan once walked by while wandering in the evening. He had never had a good impression of the church. Moreover, the seal of this body is the masterpiece of Pope Revelation Mountain. He thought he would never seek help from the church people in his life, but now he has broken his persistence because of a child.
During this period of time, the church had already closed, and there were no other priests except the night watchmen. When Xia Lan hurried to the church with Nina hurriedly in her arms, she realized this, but Nina's condition could not be delayed. With a glimmer of hope, he still knocked on the church door.
"Who are you? What disturbs the church at night?"
With a creaking sound, the church door opened a gap, and an old man covered in wrinkles looked at Xia Lan outside the door with an oil lamp and said in a low voice.
"Please forgive me for taking the initiative! It's just that my relatives are seriously ill and their lives are hanging on the line, so they have to rush into the church." Xia Lan said respectfully.
Every night watcher in a church may be a strong man who is hidden. Now Xia Lan, who has become a useless person, dare not be arrogant in front of the other side, and he must always have a urge to others.
The night watchman looked up and down at Xia Lan, and for a moment, the church gate slowly opened.
As soon as I entered the church, the candlelight on the wall suddenly lit up, illuminating the dark church archway.
"Leave the child to me."
At this time, the night watchman standing beside him suddenly said to Xia Lan.
"Will you treat it?" Xia Lan said.
"Understand." The night watchman wrapped in a gray-white robe said.
"As long as you can save this child, I can pay any price!" Xia Lan hesitated for a while, hugged Nina in her arms and handed it to the other party.
"Let's talk about everything when I cure this child."
The night watchman took the child, his tone was plain, and then he slowly walked into the front hall with the oil lamp.
Following the other person through the front hall, he came to a room that looked like a prayer room. The night watchman slowly placed Nina in the bedding on a long table and began to slowly check Nina's symptoms.
Time passed slowly, and the wrinkles on the night watchman's face became deeper and deeper. The turbid eyes seemed to have no vitality. After a long time, he shook his head. Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, a sudden voice interrupted his mouth.
"Brother Alan!Brother Alan!"
Joanna rushed into the prayer room in a panic, and shed tears in an instant when she saw Nina and the night watchman at the long table in the distance.
"That's great! Brother Alan! I finally found you and Nina! What happened to Nina?"
"She is receiving treatment from this old man in the church." Xia Lan glanced at the night watchman beside her and said.
"Old man! Please save my poor daughter!"
When Joanna heard this, she stumbled to kneel in front of the night watchman crying and begging.
"My lady, please come up. I will do my best to cure your daughter." The old man raised his hand and helped Joanna up with an inexplicable force.
"How is the child's condition?" Xia Lan asked hurriedly.
"Based on my diagnosis, this child should be poisoned!" the old man sighed: "And it is a strange poison I have never seen before."
"Poisoned?!"
Xia Lan and Joanna said in unison.
Joanna was shocked, while Xia Lan felt a slump.
It's true!
Winnie!
It turns out it's really you!
"So old man, do you have a way to drive away the poison in Nina's body?" Joanna focused on Nina, as if she had temporarily ignored the reason for Nina's poisoning.
"I'm sorry, I can't do anything!" The night watchman shook his head and said.
"Nina! Nina! My poor child! You can't die! You can't leave your mother alone..." Joanna was stunned after hearing this, and then she pounced on Nina as if she had collapsed and cried bitterly.
"Old man! Is there no other way to treat Nina?" Xia Lan said, who remained calm.
"Yes, yes!" The night watchman looked at Xia Lan, and his eyes were quite meaningful: "If you find the person who made this strange poison, you will naturally find the antidote."
"What if the drugmaker is dead?" Xia Lan said in a low voice.
"..." The night watchman was silent for a while and said, "The holy light is not omnipotent. Although it can cure most of the wound viruses, this unprecedented poison has exceeded the scope of the holy light. Now I can only suppress the toxins in the little girl's body and temporarily ensure that her life is safe, but for a long time..."
"I understand!" Xia Lan said knowingly: "Do you know anyone who can unlock this poison?"
"...I know someone, but I don't guarantee whether the other party will help you." The Night Watcher pondered.
"Who is the other party? Where is it?" Xia Lan said directly.
"To be precise, I don't know the other party's name, but I know that the other party lives in seclusion in the misty forest in the northwest of the Angrien Kingdom." said the night watchman.
"Please tell me how to find the other person in the foggy forest!" Xia Lan said sincerely.
"You really want to go to the Mist Forest?" the night watchman said in surprise.
"Yes." Xia Lan said.
"Don't you know the dangers contained in the foggy forest? It is very likely that you will be lost in it forever until the bones are gone!" said the night watchman.
"I know." Xia Lan looked at Joanna who was lying on Nina, who was mentally stagnant and ill, "But I have no choice!"
The night watcher looked at him and Joanna thoughtfully, then took out a transparent ball from his arms and handed it to each other. "This is the token that the other party once gave me. Take it with you, and it will guide you to find the other party."
"How should I thank you for your help?" Xia Lan did not take the ball, but stared at the other party and said.
Because he always believed that there is no favor for no reason in the world, and equivalent exchange is his principle of dealing with things.
"I heard that there is a kind of shining tree in the foggy forest. I hope you can bring me a leaf." (To be continued.)
