Of course, Wood didn't know what was going on in the temple. At this moment, he had been sent back to the house that was specially prepared for the solo artists in the Pioneers. Although the house wasn't big, it had everything that was needed.
After a while, an old granny came into the house and told Wood that she was the leader of the medical team that took care of the injured and sick people in the town. From then on, people from the medical team would come to the house every morning, noon, and night to take care of his daily life and check his wounds to prevent his injuries from worsening.
Wood felt warm in his heart and said with a smile, "I only scratched my leg. It won't affect my movement. You don't have to bother."
"How can you do that? Do you know how to take care of wounds? Wounds need to be changed and re-bandaged regularly. Even if you have learned some bandaging techniques, how can you compare to us in the medical team? " The old granny wasn't big, but she was imposing. Her eyes were bright and full of expression. The kindness and concern in her eyes made Wood's heart burn, and he couldn't say anything to refuse.
The old granny checked his wound and nodded. "This is bandaged by the priest in the temple, right? It smells like healing potion. But to be honest, her skills are not as good as ours. "
Wood couldn't help but laugh. "Of course, you are the professional!"
"Haha, young man, you are good at talking!" The old granny laughed happily. "But I'm old, and I'm not the best one in the medical team. Next time, I'll bring her to change your dressing and bandage, and you'll know how good her skills are!"
Wood nodded. He couldn't help but be curious.
This was just a medical team from a small town. To put it bluntly, they were just some civilians who knew a little bit about bandaging. How could they be more skilled than a priest who specialized in healing?
This old granny was too arrogant, but it was better for an old person to be proud than depressed.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "What's your name, old lady? My name is Wood, and I'm a carpenter. "
"I know you're Carpenter Wood. Isn't it written on the door plate? Carpenter Wood's house." The old granny said with a smile, "My name is Stina. I used to be a maid, but now I'm the leader of the medical team."
"Maid?" Wood was stunned and even more curious. Pyroxene Town was located in the Ashes Forest, which was really remote. Even if there were a few rich people in this place, it was impossible to train professional maids, not to mention that Grandma Stina could read and write. Her level was so high that it was incredible.
It would be fine if she was the wife of the former mayor or a high-ranking believer of a shrine, but how could she be a maid?
Noticing his surprise, Stina said with a smile, "It was a long, long time ago … At that time, I was a maid of a big noble family. I can't tell you which family it is, because it might cause trouble. My young master read too many knight novels and wanted to be an adventurer. After learning for a few years, he got himself a set of luxurious equipment and came out to explore the world with a few subordinates and me."
"At first, it was quite smooth. He did a lot of famous things. Later, he was so confident that he went to kill a dragon. You can imagine the result … I was lucky enough to survive. I didn't dare to stay in the inland, so I fled to the border area of the Ashes Forest. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed. "
Wood nodded repeatedly. He had even guessed the identity of this old granny. After all, although the world was big, there were not many examples of the sons of big nobles who ran out to be adventurers and died. Considering the old granny's age, there were only one or two possibilities.
But of course, he would not say it out loud. He just smiled and asked, "So … all these years, you have been a maid in this town?"
"How is that possible! I used to work in the shrine of Her Majesty the Golden Crown (the Goddess of Wealth). I was also a maid. Later, Her Majesty and His Majesty the Void Mask cooperated, so I went to the Void Mask Amusement Park. Then Mayor Felix recruited professionals. I was curious about what she said about building a town in line with people's ideals, so I applied. "
Granny Stina said with a smile, "In order not to leak the news, I've never been married. I've only adopted a few children. Now, I'm either a priest or a Temple Knight. They were very opposed to me running out to work, saying that they wanted to provide me with the safest and most comfortable old age. But after I came here and saw it, I convinced him. "
Wood was filled with deep veneration. This granny was indeed not an ordinary person!
Her children were either priests or Templars. What a mother she was!
Not to mention an ordinary child, even a noble family would find it hard to teach their child so well!
No wonder her temperament was so different from the others! No wonder he always felt like he was being controlled by her aura!
Thinking of this, he was shocked. Fearing that he would expose himself due to carelessness, he hurriedly lied that he was a little dizzy. Dizziness due to excessive blood loss was a very common thing. Grandma Stina did not suspect him. She told him to rest well and not to get out of bed and walk around. Then she left.
Ignoring Wood, who was having a good rest here, in the temple of the Void Mask, the priest who had just treated Wood's wounds had found the officiant with a sample of Wood's blood.
"Your Excellency, I just met a strange patient." He explained Wood's situation in detail and took out a blood sample.
The officiant frowned with some doubts. The effect of the healing spell was poor? This was not a big deal, but it was not a small matter either. Generally speaking, some creatures with the blood of the lower plane would have this kind of situation. In fact, it was not very rare. In particular, the carpenter was very handsome, and it was likely that he had the blood of a monster such as the succubus, but it was very thin.
But … no matter what, he had to find out first.
The most important reason why the officiant was sent to Pyroxene Town to preside over the work was that he was meticulous and steady, and could work well with Felix and Josh. Since he had encountered a special situation, he would never give up until he got to the bottom of it.
A moment later, he came to the mayor's office. Felix was sitting behind his desk, studying several documents intently.
With the gradual development of Pyroxene Town, the mayor's work gradually increased. Of course, Felix could find a few secretaries to help, but her original intention was to use these daily affairs to hone her will, make herself more mature and steady, and prepare for the breakthrough to the legendary realm. So, except for some trivial things that were meaningless, she would personally deal with the slightly more important things. She was comparable to Zhuge Liang, who would even personally deal with 20 military floggings.
As a strong person with the blood of the legendary creature Immortal Bird, Felix's physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people. Of course, it was impossible for her to be worn out by these government affairs. On the contrary, the most important thing for the possessor of the legendary blood to step into the legendary realm was the stability and maturity of the mind. Otherwise, when breaking through to the legendary realm, she was likely to be unable to control the power of the blood and degenerate into a magical beast with the legendary blood.
There were many such magical beasts. For example, Fafnir, the "Free and Easy Strange Bird" who worked in the amusement park as a red dragon. According to his memory, he was originally a human, and in his spare time, he liked to write some alternative novels with monsters as the theme. Later, when he was breaking through to the legendary realm, he became a magical beast.
Although Fafnir became a magical beast and his temperament changed greatly, he did not lose his mind, which was a great blessing in misfortune. There were even more possessors of legendary blood who could not even keep their minds, and directly became mindless magical beasts.
Felix certainly did not want that result, so although she also hated trivial things, she still handled it patiently bit by bit, not daring to be sloppy.
After listening to the introduction of the officiant and looking at the blood samples, she frowned, put down the unimportant work at hand for the time being, and took the officiant to Isuka Magic School, or rather, her magic tower.
Using some tools in the magic tower, she did a few experiments and quickly determined Wood's situation. But instead of relaxing her frown, her frown deepened.
"He doesn't have the blood of a creature from the lower plane, but his power was absorbed by the witch." She looked at the results of the examination, checked it against the data, and said worriedly, "And, a lot of power has been absorbed."
"How much?" The officiant was shocked and asked, "How strong was he before his power was absorbed?"
"He should be close to the level of a senior, or even in the preliminary stage of the senior level."
The officiant's face changed dramatically. High-level masters were rare everywhere, and in general, two or three were the limit in a city. Pyroxene Town was able to have so many masters because of the attention of His Majesty the Void Mask. But even so, there were only three high-level masters in the whole town.
Josh in the legendary realm, Felix at the peak of the senior level, and himself who had just stepped into the senior level.
In this way, it was already a luxurious army of masters far beyond the scale of the scale. Even if Josh and Felix were excluded, he alone was enough to support a branch of the temple.
And now, a high-level master whose power was absorbed by a special monster from the lower plane, the witch, and temporarily became an ordinary person appeared in Pyroxene Town.
How could he not worry? How could he not be nervous!
"Do you want to ask him?" Deal with small matters by yourself, ask the mayor if big matters are not decided, and His Majesty will support you if the sky falls down. This was what Sui Xiong told him before he took office. This was obviously a big matter, so of course, it was up to the mayor to decide.
"The witch is a special product of hell, transformed from a quick-witted woman who died in vain, and is very, very rare in the human world," Felix said thoughtfully. "She is different from the succubus in the abyss. If the succubus absorbs power, it can be restored through the Advanced Restoration, but if the witch absorbs power, unless she knows her superior lord, prays and gets a response, and asks her superior to order her to release the absorbed power, otherwise, she can only be cured through legendary magic … Of course, it is also possible to persuade the witch herself, but this method is negligible."
"According to my impression, the witches rarely step into the human world unless they are summoned. And the person who can summon the witch can most likely control her. In other words, letting the witch absorb the power of the victim may be a way of punishment — although it is too severe. "
"You mean, he came from a large organization and left after being punished?" the chief priest asked.
"Probably. Let's not act rashly for the time being, and pay attention to him first." Felix thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that Miss Xian is living here during this time, and I will call Josh back to take charge to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Is it necessary to be so troublesome? Isn't it better to ask him directly? "
"If he is willing to say, he will say it sooner or later." Felix smiled. "I believe that no matter where he comes from, he will find a suitable home for himself in this ideal town."
"I don't care what he does in the past. As long as he lives here for a long time, sooner or later he will become a complete resident of Pyroxene Town!"
