The doctor Willow mentioned was quickly escorted over.
Thales carefully observed the strange man in front of him.
He seemed to be in his fifties and was almost bald, but his appearance was extremely outstanding. He had a large nose on his narrow face, and his dark green eyes darted around nimbly. Coupled with his ugly smile, he looked strange and uncomfortable.
"You must be the new prince, Your Highness." The strange-looking old man was dressed in a yellow leather coat. It was a little dirty from being rubbed in the dungeon, and there was a strange smell of medicine on his body. He laughed inexplicably and bowed slightly. "My name is Ramon."
I am a doctor. "
Thales frowned.
He waved his hand and gestured for Wya to close the door of the barracks that was left behind after the soldiers left.
"You know who I am?"
Ramon stretched his head forward strangely and nodded from time to time. Coupled with the smile that seemed to have frozen on his face, he looked like an entertainer performing a magic trick.
"Hehe, news always travels fast, faster than you think … especially when the soldiers around us are talking about your name." Putray took a step forward and said slowly.
Putray took a step forward and slowly said, "Very well, there is a person here who needs medical attention. If you are a doctor …"
He looked at Chora.
Ramon laughed strangely and craned his head to look in Chora's direction.
"I can try, but I cannot guarantee anything." He walked towards Chora, but suddenly turned his head around. His eyes bulged and he stared at Thales strangely. "I heard that Your Highness is going north to Eckstedt?"
Wya and Ralf frowned.
Thales nodded.
'This old man.
'A little strange.
'And a little strange.
'But he is a doctor after all.'
"Hmm." Ramon walked slowly to Chora's side, as if he was deep in thought. "Not a bad journey … Eckstedt."
The strange doctor carefully observed Chora, who was trembling slightly and whose face was pale.
"Ah, a brave warrior … and a supra class swordsman with the Power of Eradication." Ramon lifted Chora's weak arm and his eyes sparkled.
"He has a bad habit when he swings his sword …
"He prefers slashing and face-to-face swordsmanship …
"His right upper arm and back muscles will probably start to ache after he is sixty years old …"
Under Wya and Ralf's astonished gazes, he slowly removed Chora's bandages.
"Cuts and lacerations on his chest and back.
"He didn't treat his injuries immediately. I wonder if it was because the situation was urgent or because he didn't realize it …"
"To think that he endured for so long …"
"With this kind of wound, I can recognize it as a vampire's claw even with my eyes closed …"
Thales' expression froze.
This doctor.
It seemed to have some tricks up its sleeve?
"Moderate blood loss, weak body."
"The key is that the two wounds were improperly treated. There's quite a lot of ulceration …"
"If we don't deal with it immediately, I guess he can still hold on for another day? One night? Hehe … "
Ramon turned his head and clicked his tongue. He looked at Thales and smiled without saying a word.
"What is it?" Putray asked slowly. "Can you save him?"
"Hehe."
Ramon stared at Thales with a contemplative gaze.
"Most doctors are probably at a loss right now."
Thales' expression darkened.
"They can only wait for the swordsman to recover or die by himself." He let out a breath of hot air and said slowly.
Everyone frowned slightly.
"Wait," Putray said quietly. "You said, most of them?"
Ramon just chuckled.
Thales raised his hand and gestured for Putray to ask him the question.
The second prince looked at Ramon seriously and asked, "You mean, you can save him?"
Ramon blinked his right eye and sniffed with his strange nose.
"I did not say that.
But I can try. With some medicine, I can treat the wounds, cut off the rotten flesh … As for the chance of successfully saving him … "
Putray frowned beside Thales.
Ramon flashed a strange smile again. "It depends on the reward. You know, the reward."
Thales raised his eyebrows.
"You will get the reward you deserve." Without changing his expression, Thales added, "Sufficient reward … I guarantee it with the royal family's reputation."
'Anyway, it's not my money.'
"Haha, you have misunderstood." Ramon put down the dying Chora. His eyes shone.
"I only ask for one thing." He narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Thales carefully. "I've had enough of this dungeon …"
He tried his best to put on a friendly smile and said, "When the prince heads north to Eckstedt.
"Please bring me along."
The barracks was silent for a moment.
Thales looked at the ashen-faced Chora on the bed and clenched his fists lightly.
'Bring him along?'
"You know that I have no right to let you go." Thales suppressed the discomfort in his heart. "I am not the commander here."
Ramon revealed his upper teeth and sneered cunningly. "But your father … is the commander of the commander of the commander here, isn't he?
"And you are not letting me go, but placing me under your custody …"
"Ridiculous." Wya snorted softly. "Are you negotiating terms with His Highness?"
"It's just a request." Ramon put his hands together and smiled. "If I can get permission, I believe that I will do my best to treat this seriously injured and dying mister."
"No." Thales stared at him with an unpleasant expression. "Not only do you want to negotiate terms, you are also threatening me.
"Also, not saving a dying man … Are you really a doctor?"
"How dare I?" Ramon spread his hands and revealed his mottled yellow teeth. "What I mean is, even if I am a doctor, I can only try my best to save him … If I fail, His Highness can throw me back into the dungeon or even cause me some trouble …
"Of course, if he is lucky enough to be saved by me … I only need your kindness to bring me out of the dungeon …
"And the one on the bed looks like he is in pain …
"You only need to bring me along …
"You have a lot of conditions," Wya took a step forward and said coldly.
"I am only making a suggestion." Ramon smiled. "Whether you accept it or not is entirely up to His Highness."
"What if I say no?" Thales said quietly, "If I do not agree to let you out of the dungeon and bring you along, will you refuse to treat him?"
Ramon chuckled. "Of course not …"
But a cold glare flashed in the doctor's eyes.
"Hehe … But you know, my medical skills are actually very dependent on luck …
"Hehe … If I can't treat him, you can't blame me … Hehe …
"What a pity for such a brave soldier. Sigh … It looks like he blocked it for his comrade …"
Putray's expression changed.
"You are bargaining with the Prince of Constellation." He snorted and said, "This is disrespectful."
"How would I dare?" Ramon shook his head. "I only believe in the prince's kindness and wisdom."
Anger also surged in Wya's heart. "You know, we can also send you back to the dungeon."
"The ferryman can also send him across Hell's River." Ramon pointed at Chora on the bed and slyly spread his hands.
Ralf, on the other hand, stared coldly at Ramon.
Putray looked at Chora, who seemed to be struggling in a nightmare on the bed. With a displeased expression, he moved closer to Thales' ear.
"Maybe we can promise him first …"
"As long as Lady Sasere appears and detains him at the last moment, you will not be considered to have broken your promise …"
Thales pursed his lips tightly.
He raised his head and stopped Putray's whispers.
Thales looked at Ramon.
'This is the only licensed doctor around Broken Dragon Fortress?'
"You know, I can actually promise you," he said quietly.
Putray's expression tensed.
"Thank you!" Ramon chuckled and said, "This is nothing for you, Your Highness. I think Lady Sasere will respect you —"
But Ramon, who was chuckling, was interrupted.
"But I just had a very bad day, Mister Ramon."
Thales exhaled with a hostile expression.
He raised his head.
"And do you know why?"
Ramon's words instantly froze in his throat.
"Because I allowed a stranger to enter my diplomat group … even if he was actually loyal." Thales took a deep breath. Under Wya and Putray's worried gazes, he slowly said, "But in the end, I lost more than half of my men.
"But in the end, I lost more than half of my men — they all bled for me and sacrificed for me."
They might even include Chora, who is lying on the bed. "
He said coldly,
"I don't like it when people use this to bargain with me."
Ramon was slightly startled.
Thales raised his head and heard himself say in a low voice, "Also, this lesson taught me to always be vigilant when it comes to things that you cannot understand."
Ramon lowered his head and listened to Thales enunciate each word clearly.
"For example, at the border of the conflict between the two kingdoms, a doctor who was locked up in the fortress' dungeon for no reason asked to join my group with a body full of peculiarities and suspicions. We will go to Eckstedt, which is even more dangerous and has an uncertain future."
Ramon frowned subconsciously.
'This prince …'
Thales continued, "The dungeon of Broken Dragon Fortress may not be comfortable, but it is safer and more reliable than the border between the two kingdoms, where the atmosphere is tense, and compared to my diplomatic journey with an uncertain future.
"But you asked to go north to Eckstedt.
"You did not ask to leave the dungeon at all," Thales raised his head slightly and said faintly.
Ramon stared at the young prince before him with a strange expression.
'He …'
Thales sat on the chair and crossed his arms. "You are willing to sacrifice your own safety and interests to provide medical services for the prince's group, and then continue on a dangerous journey with him.
"You must be a saint, Doctor Ramon." Thales shook his head and said slowly, "If not …
"Then you must have some ulterior motive."
Ramon frowned.
'Sh * t.
It looks like this young prince is not as easy to fool as I thought. '
"I just need to leave this place …" Ramon exhaled through his nose, raised his head and said, "And the war outside is imminent, and it is too dangerous. I thought that the prince's diplomat group might be safer …"
"Safer?" Thales stared at him coldly. "Even a three-year-old child knows that we are tainted with King Nuven's blood debt, and that we are going to the country he rules … Safe?"
"Alright, alright, I don't expect the protection of His Highness' guards! You don't have to bring me along the entire journey. Not long after we enter Eckstedt, I will immediately leave. "Ramon blinked and smiled bitterly in resignation." As long as it's that simple, I promise that I can definitely cure him! "
Ramon adjusted his breathing and turned to Wya and Ralf. "Also, I can help you with something else. For example, this young gentleman's injury … I guess it was also caused by a vampire? And you, the guy with the silver mask, your arm is fractured … This cannot wait … "
Wya exhaled.
Ralf's expression was unfriendly.
"You can definitely cure him?" Thales said loudly. His tone was strange. "Oh, that is not what you said just now."
Ramon was stunned. He stuttered, "I am very confident in myself … Just now, it was to ensure that I could leave the dungeon and avoid the disaster of war …"
But Thales did not buy it.
The prince interrupted him again, "Your Highness.
"I will give you one more chance to answer my question. What is your goal?"
Ramon stared at him in a daze.
'Damn brat.'
A second later, Ramon suddenly laughed.
"Alright." He spread his hands and shrugged indifferently. "Since His Highness does not believe me, then I will return to the dungeon —"
But he could not finish his sentence.
"You have used up your chance, Doctor Ramon." Thales suddenly smiled. "You forced me to do this."
Ramon's pupils shrank.
'What?
What … is he going to do to me? '
"Arbitrary torture is the privilege of a tyrant." Ramon grinned and said slowly, "And you are still young, aren't you? If this gets out … "
Putray stared at Thales, puzzled.
The boy slowly leaned back and looked at Ramon, who had a puzzled expression on his face.
Thales raised his right hand and pressed it against the side of his forehead.
"Let me apologize first." Thales chuckled and said slowly, "I also did not want to … treat you like this.
That forbidden ability. "
'What?'
At the side, Putray, Wya, Ralf, and even Aida, who had been absent-minded, were all stunned.
'Ability?'
