"Fine," Bast decided, carrying his bag toward the room. Jans followed, while Sergius and Jack remained outside.

Ch 114 Claws And Cowards
Bast snatched his leather bag and kicked the carriage door open. The moment he jumped down, the sight before him stole his breath.They had only just entered the outermost region of the Black Mist Forest, yet danger had already ambushed them from behind the dense trees.From the crushed underbrush, two giant beasts leaped out with deafening roars. If Bast previously thought the beasts around the village looked terrifying, he now found that assumption laughable.The monsters he saw today severely tested his brain's sanity in translating their appearance. Bast wanted to call them cats, but they clearly failed the size requirements.The creatures dwarfed a tiger—resembling prehistoric smilodons—but sported jagged black scales covering their backs down to the tip
Ch 113 Introductions And Intimidations
Bast’s teeth felt dry from forcing a constant smile. He had just finished introducing himself to five senior physicians and shaking hands with nearly fifty soldiers who were joining the monster subjugation effort.Bast didn't want the attention. The initiative came from Physician Leroy, an acquaintance from the Andera Healing Center. The man, only a few years his senior, cheerfully dragged him around to meet everyone.Leroy had joined the monster subjugation team three times, so he knew almost every soldier there. He decided Bast needed to share those connections."You know what? Bast here saved Commander Rae! So you better remember to save him if a monster gets too close. Your lives might just depend on his skills someday."Leroy patted Bast's shoulder, promoting his skills to the maximum.Bast forced another stiff, teeth-drying smile as the soldiers eagerly swarmed him."Really? You saved Commander Rae?""I heard you dragged his soul back from the afterlife.""I heard you performed
Ch 112 Parents And Promises
Cyril could only suppress a smile and shake his head slowly. "Women are indeed hard to understand sometimes, Physician Bast. So, what about you? Have you informed your family about this assignment?""Not yet. I'll tell them now," Bast answered. He indeed had to return to Cardose to fetch his medical equipment and medical supplies from the bunker facility.Cyril nodded in understanding. "Alright. The troops will move out the morning after tomorrow. Make sure you're not late. I'll prepare a carriage and guards...""Eh? What for?" Bast was confused."To escort you to Cardose. As a physician—who will be undertaking a mission—you're entitled to an escort detail when leaving the city fortress." Cyril explained that Bast's status automatically elevated the moment he
Ch 111 Assignments And Angers
"To submit the report documents from Elder Orek and Physician Rolo," Bast explained, patting his leather bag. "This is a city administration requirement. It proves I didn't just get my badge to roam free, but I've officially opened a Healing Center in Cardose Village and am ready for deployment if the city calls."Remu tilted her head—remembering. "The medical archives room is on the second floor. East wing.""You remember all the rooms inside that giant building?" Bast pointed at the now-visible building with wide eyes. Bast's opinion remained the same; the building was too complicated because too many affairs were centralized there."Yes. My father has served as mayor for almost ten years. I play there quite often.""Oh..." Bast understood but didn't understand w
Ch 110 Bargains And Businesses
"I'm coming with you."Bast had just placed the sack full of his harvest on the floor when he heard a request he would rather not fulfill—from Remu."There's no need. I'll only be there for a moment and return by this afternoon. You'll get tired." Bast planned to ride Mauler to Andera—it was faster and more practical. If Remu came along, he would have to take a carriage.But Remu just smiled. "Did you forget who promised to introduce you to the good and expensive apothecary network in the city?""Ah..." Bast hadn't forgotten; he just planned to ask. "You just need to tell me where the place is. I'll take it there.""I don't want to. I'm the one who will make the introductions. If not, go ahead and sell it yourself."Bast sighed deeply. That was a direct hit. This girl indeed held the key to selling his harvest right now. Bast didn't know where to find people who were willing to buy the results of his hard work."Besides... I haven't been home for almost two months," Remu continued, he
Ch 109 Heartbeats And Harvests
"Wear it here." Bast didn't bother explaining with theory. He stood up, reached for Remu's head, and casually placed both rubber eartips of the stethoscope directly into the girl's ears.Remu jolted in shock, her hands reflexively grabbing the object now plugging her ears. "H-hey! Bast—""Quiet and listen."Bast turned to Nala. "Excuse me for a moment," he said politely. He then pressed the stethoscope's metal disc to Nala's upper left chest, right over her heart.Remu's eyes instantly widened perfectly.The noisy sounds of villagers outside the healing center suddenly vanished. Instead, an incredibly clear, thick, and crisp rhythmic drumming flowed in, striking her eardrums.More Chapter
