Ghost Dock Island, Dock Number 4.
For the people on Moonlight Picture Bird, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Captain Man was dead, and all the combat power on Blood Breaker was basically wiped out. This should have been something to be happy about, because it meant that they could easily occupy Dock Number 1, which they had coveted for a long time.
However, none of the people on the ship showed any signs of joy.
They all looked at the infirmary with hopeful and praying eyes. Even those standing on the deck who could not see the infirmary had to turn their heads in that direction, waiting bitterly for the final result.
Captain Barrow, Little Birch … and Lunke.
The three of them were in the infirmary, being rescued by the doctors of Moonlight Picture Bird and Little Flea.
If the three of them died, even if they occupied Blood Breaker and Dock Number 1, what was the point? Captain Barrow was their leader in name, and Lunke was their spiritual leader. When the leaders of a ship both died, it would inevitably become a dark moment.
In addition, Lunke was the real force on the ship. With him around, the people from other docks did not dare to invade. Without him, they would not be able to defend Dock Number 1.
So, at this moment, everyone was looking forward to the final result.
"Will the captain and the others be fine? Really, if they are going to attack Dock Number 1, why didn't they inform us? "
"They will be fine, they will definitely be fine. We have lived on this ghost island for so long, I don't believe the captain and the others will die here. "
This is the prayer of their psychology, but can this prayer really become reality?
While everyone on the deck was silent, the cabin door was opened, and a few people walked out one after another. After asking, they found out that the doctor did not want them to block outside the infirmary. The air was not circulating, and it was noisy, which was not good for the injured. So, they were all chased to the deck.
"Little Sa, you were the first to go to help. Do you know the specific situation? Can they still be saved? " The person who spoke was originally standing on the deck. He looked at a young man who walked out of the cabin. This young man was the first to hear the fighting and ran to the bridge to see the situation.
Everyone looked at the young man called Little Sa. Some of them knew a little about the inside story, but it was all hearsay. They didn't know the specific situation.
Xiao Sa hesitated for a moment before saying, "Little Birch's injury is on his chest. When I saw him, half of his body was floating on the surface of the lake, and the water around him was red. However, when Little Flea pulled him up, he said that his wound showed signs of healing, so it shouldn't be a problem to treat it. "
"Young Birch is not important. We want to know more about the captain and Mr. Lunk," someone said in a low voice.
Although it sounded cruel, it was the truth. Little Birch was far less important to the Moonlight Bird than Captain Barrow and Mr. Lunke.
"Captain Barrow's injuries were very serious. His head was smashed open by Sir Man's fist. When I saw him, there were still shattered bones on the ground." Little Sa's mouth began to tremble as he recalled the scene he had seen. It was obvious how tragic the scene had been.
"Can Captain Barrow still be saved?"
Xiao Sa replied, "… Because of that lord's timely treatment, there's still hope. That's what the little flea said. "
Some of the people who had gone to the frontline knew who that lord was. They had seen with their own eyes the power that could tear the earth apart.
Because they had witnessed such a powerful force, even if they knew the name of that person, they did not dare to mention it. They could only use "that lord" as a substitute.
"What about Mr. Lunk?" someone asked again.
Speaking of Lunk, a trace of sadness flashed across Xiao Sa's eyes. "I did not see Mr. Lunk's condition, but Little Flea said … said …"
Xiao Sa did not say the final conclusion, but some of the people present already knew the answer.
A sailor who had gone to the frontline hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, when I went to the forest to provide support, I saw Mr. Lunk. At that time, his condition was very bad. His eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were all bleeding. He did not recognize anyone else. Even if we went forward, he would have attacked us like crazy."
"However, there were piles of corpses of the members of the Blood Breaker around him. These corpses were all scratched by knight swords. They were all killed by Mr. Lunk. He sacrificed his own life to protect us. "
Everyone looked over. "Then in the end …"
The sailor shook his head. "No one could get close to him. In the end, it was that lord who knocked him out and brought him back."
"Will Mr. Lunk be cured?" Someone could not help but ask. To them, Lunk was a spiritual leader and also a guardian. His importance was self-evident.
No one answered. Xiao Sa's expression was sad, and the sailor was silent.
After a while, someone said in a low voice, "I heard from the ship's guard that Mr. Lunk was poisoned and took a forbidden medicine. Any one of those is enough to kill him. He might … "
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either, but that might really be the case. Captain Barrow might die, but the chances of Mr. Lunk dying are even higher. "
Everyone's faces were pale. Even though there were so many people standing on the deck, the air was still silent and cold.
"We should not give up hope. Don't forget that lord is here."
"Can that lord save Mr. Lunk?"
"I heard that some shipping companies have superhumans guarding their cargo ships. I heard that they are omnipotent. If that's true, that lord should be able to save him, right? "
The gloomy atmosphere was slightly eased because of this sentence. Although the ordinary people in the Devil's Sea still didn't understand the abilities of wizards, they had heard of the various abilities of wizards. Their imagination of wizards had raised their psychological expectations.
Maybe they could really save Mr. Lunk?
While everyone was waiting for "that lord" to show her might and save Mr. Lunk and Captain Barrow, "that lord" was leaning against the wall of the infirmary with a pale face.
"Are you alright, Lady Asbel?" A man in a white doctor's suit asked worriedly.
Nausica clutched her chest. Cold sweat soaked her temples. It took her a while to catch her breath. "I'm fine." She shook her head.
"Do you need me to take a look?"
"No need. My physical injuries are nothing," Nausica replied.
The doctors thought Nausica was trying to endure her injuries. But that was not the case. Nausica did not care about her physical injuries at all. As a Bloodline Wizard, it was not hard for her to heal her body. She would be fully recovered in half a month.
The most troublesome injuries were non-physical ones. For example, spirit damage and … soul damage.
Ordinary doctors could not heal them.
Nausica tried her best to endure the discomfort in her chest. She approached the bed and asked, "How are they doing?"
"Thanks to the lord's timely treatment, Burch only has a few broken ribs. His organs are also healing. His life is not in danger."
"Captain Barrow's injuries are serious, but he's showing signs of recovery with the lord's help."
Another doctor added, "However, even if he gets better in the future, the shape of his skull is still very likely to be deformed."
"Yes. But that's already a blessing. As long as he's alive, it's fine for a man to have a flat head. "
After talking about Burch and Barrow's injuries, Nausica looked at the last bed.
There was only one monitor beside Burch's bed, one doctor and two nurses beside Barrow's bed, and many doctors were working together around the last bed, including Little Flea.
Judging from the arrangement of the doctors, it was obvious that the patient in the last bed was the most seriously injured.
Nausica walked over and asked, "Is he getting better?"
After a moment of silence, Little Flea shook his head sadly with sweat all over his forehead.
The other doctors who were wearing masks and were also exhausted looked helpless. "We've tried our best, but Mister Lunke's life is still fading away."
It was not because of the poison. It was the side effect of the potion.
After going crazy, there would be an irreversible death.
They could not even cure the side effects of the potion, let alone the poison.
In the doctors' eyes, Lunke was already beyond saving.
However, Lunke was still breathing. Even if they could not get anything out of it, they would still give it their all. This was why they stayed by Lunke's side and did not abandon him.
Nausica looked at Lunke lying on the bed and recalled what happened in the stone cave not long ago.
Although she was unconscious at that time, her spirituality was able to perceive everything that was happening around her.
She heard Lunke's last words to Burch: "After leaving Specter Dock Island, send the news of my death to my distant family."
Such plain last words were very similar to the will that her subordinates had made when they had sworn to follow her to the death when she had first entered the sea.
Although they were vanguards who fought bloody battles on the sea, chasing after an exciting life and fighting against huge waves with no regrets, if they really wanted to leave behind their last words, they would still be as plain as before, expressing their guilt and hope for their distant family members.
Nausica also remembered how Lunke did not complain at all when they were discovered hiding in the stone cave. He stood up trembling, picked up his sword, and stood in front of everyone. "Your opponent is me," he said fearlessly.
This was the principle he kept in his heart with his life.
Nausica did not like the saintly standards of knights, but she appreciated people who were willing to follow the principles of justice to their deaths.
Besides, Lunke was the main reason why she was saved from the "pigsty" in Dock Number One.
Nausica had ways to escape even if they did not save her. However, since they saved her, she owed them a favor.
She wanted to save Lunke.
"Step back. I'll take a look." Nausica knocked on Little Flea's shoulder. His clothes were almost soaked with sweat.
"Ma 'am, your wounds …" Little Flea said.
"My wounds won't stop me from saving him. You, on the other hand, should rest. You've been up all night."
Little Flea shook his head. This was the first time he met Lunke, but Lunke's actions had deeply affected him. He was willing to do anything for Lunke.
"Ask yourself. Do you think you have a way to save him, or me?" Nausica asked in a plain tone.
Little Flea lowered his head and stayed silent. But he still stepped back. He didn't know why Nausica had such supernatural powers, but he knew that Lunke was at his wit's end without a miracle.
And Nausica, with her supernatural power, had the best chance to create such a miracle.
He took a few steps back, but Little Flea didn't stop. He wanted to see how Nausica would do it with his own eyes.
The other doctors also quieted down and watched Nausica's movements.
But contrary to their expectations, Nausica did not perform any medical tests. She only reached out her left index finger and gently tapped on Lunke's body. From his forehead to his neck, to his heart and lungs, to his navel.
Every time she tapped on Lunke's body, she seemed to release some light.
As the light flickered, Nausica's face turned paler and paler. It was a sign that her mana pool was running out.
When she released the last bit of mana, Nausica's legs gave out.
Luckily, Little Flea caught her in time. Otherwise, Nausica would have fallen to the ground.
"Are you alright, Lady Asbel?"
Nausica shook her head. "I'm fine. Just a little exhausted."
Little Flea glanced at Nausica and then at Lunk, who was on the verge of collapsing. "Can Mister Lunk be saved?"
Nausica wore a serious expression and remained silent.
Nausica did not say anything, but everyone knew what she meant.
Even a supernatural like Nausica couldn't save Lunke?
Although they had already thought that it would be difficult to save Lunke, they still felt a deep sense of sadness when the final answer surfaced.
The silence and sorrow lasted for a long time.
When someone began to weep, Nausica finally spoke, "I can't save him. But I can use some methods to freeze him and delay his death."
Her words brought hope back to everyone's hearts.
"It's good to delay his death." Little Flea said, "We can't save Lunke because we don't have enough medical facilities. But if we can leave this godforsaken island and find a better place, we might be able to save Mr. Lunke! "
The little flea's words were filled with expectations, but they were not answered.
No matter how good the medical facilities outside were, they could not compare to a supernatural like Nausica.
If even Nausica could not save him, Lunke's fate was sealed.
Little Flea knew what they meant. He considered for a moment and said, "My teacher once told me that there's a country called Akesolya on a faraway continent. It's the birthplace of modern medicine. It has a sacred place where miracles can be created. If we can find that place, Lunke can be saved. "
The other doctors had never heard of Akesolya before. They thought Little Flea was making up a story.
But they did not expose Little Flea's "lie". They also hoped that Nausica could freeze Lunke.
Even if it could not be cured, it would still be better than turning into a pile of bones.
