Golden Cross Medical College had been around for more than three hundred years. They had seen all kinds of diseases, big and small. But they had never seen such panic before.
Count Leonrick's daughter, the true pearl of Water Grasse, Margot, suddenly fainted at home. She was diagnosed with the "Shadowless Disease" that had troubled countless medical professors.
Almost everyone in the medical college was mobilized. The deans of the three districts brought nearly two hundred medical professors to the headquarter. Even the two "national treasures" doctors who had retired long ago put on their battle suits and stepped into "Clinic Area 1", which was the highest standard in the headquarter.
At the same time, the deans and professors of the headquarter all gathered in the conference room to discuss Margot's treatment plan.
As the deans of different districts arrived, more and more people came to the conference room. The doctors discussed with each other and used all kinds of medical terms. Some of them were so excited that they almost started fighting.
Angor was completely stunned. Not because of the doctors' actions, but because of their views on medicine.
Angor was well-versed in both western and eastern medicine. He had little clinical experience, but he knew a lot about theoretical medicine. He thought he could rely on the superiority of modern western medicine to crush these "metaphysical" doctors mercilessly. However, after this consultation, which was more like a seminar, Angor realized that he had underestimated the wisdom of ordinary people.
The medical system here was not as backward as the one in Goldspink Empire. It was complete from basic medicine to internal and external medicine. Instead of relying on traditional metaphysics, it focused on applied medicine. Apart from using local medicine, it was very similar to the ideas of western medicine.
Angor watched for a while and sighed in admiration. Especially after the addition of the national treasure doctor, the doctors had a backbone. They began to conduct in-depth dissection around a few aspects. Some of their ideas were already very advanced, but because they could not avoid the concept of "Transcendent", they were still at the level of mortals and could not improve.
"Let's go. Take me to see the" Shadowless "patients." Angor looked at Leonrick beside him.
Cyndia went to accompany her daughter. Angor was curious about the consultation, so he came to check it out. Now that his curiosity was satisfied, he was ready to leave.
Leonrick nodded and asked his butler to go to the dean. He then left with Angor.
Their departure caused the conference room to become silent for a moment. While the doctors had been talking, they knew that Shadowless Disease was an incurable disease. Their enthusiasm was more like a performance, and the audience was Count Leonrick behind them.
However, these were not important. The most important thing was, who was the person in the high-profile trench coat? His face could not be seen clearly because of his hat, but the count was very respectful to him, just like an attendant.
When the butler went to the dean, there was a general murmur.
The dean of the Golden Cross Medical College's headquarters was named Hedrick. He frowned when he heard the butler's request. The Count is going to see a patient with the Shadowless Disease? What was there to see? Or … did the man in the trench coat want to see it?
Hedrick didn't look too happy. He guessed that the man in the windbreaker was a high-ranking official of Zeal Dominion. He must have come to see the Shadowless Disease out of curiosity. "These fools!" Hedrick cursed in his heart, but he still nodded with a dark face.
Before leaving, Hedrick spoke to the vice dean, "The Count is going to the Shadowless Disease ward. You stay here for a while. I'll be right back."
Hedrick did not try to lower his voice, so everyone in the room heard what he said.
Why was the Count going now? Almost everyone thought of the young man. Like Hedrick, there were many who thought that the young man was a "Zeal Dominion Lord". Even so, they could only curse in their minds.
However, the two national treasured doctors were an exception.
The two national treasured doctors were a man and a woman. Both of them were over 70 years old and had more than 50 years of experience in medicine. To be able to be conferred as a national treasure, it was clear that their status was not low. Only they would dare to be unafraid of power.
"Hedrick, wait." An old man with an aged face and two white eyebrows that reached his chest stopped Hedrick.
"Tyrael? What's the matter? "Hedrick looked at Tyrael with a complicated expression. The doctor who was the same age as him was already a famous figure in the world. Hedrick, on the other hand, was still not as good as Tyrael in terms of reputation and skills.
"We're in the middle of a consultation. I don't think it's appropriate for you to leave like this," Tyrael said.
"I can't bear the consequences of disobeying the Count." Hedrick did not want to go either, but he could not refuse the Count's order.
Tyrael continued, "We were woken up in the middle of the night and rushed here to save his daughter. I'm sure Leonrick will understand. "
Tyrael then looked at the butler. "Go tell your master that we're here to treat Margot. We'll talk about other matters after the consultation."
The butler hesitated a little. He knew who the young man was, and he knew that the Count had placed all his hopes on him. As for the meeting, it was better than nothing.
"Doctor Tyrael, this is the Count's order." The butler emphasized the word "order" on purpose. "It's an emergency. Please don't make it difficult for me."
"Emergency?" Tyrael chuckled. "Then can you tell me why the Count is going to the Shadowless Disease ward? It's been isolated for months. There has to be a reason for an outsider to go in, right?"
"I'm here to carry out the order. I don't know anything else."
"Then do as I say!"
Tyrael chased the butler out of the meeting room without showing any respect.
"Hedrick, medicine is sacred. No authority should encroach on this sacred land. As the head of a hospital, you should protect the sanctity of medicine. "With that, Tyrael returned to his seat.
Hedrick's face was pale. He snorted and returned to the podium.
"Tyrael, this isn't a good idea. You know that Leonrick isn't an enforcer of authority. He's the most gentle guardian in the history of Water Grasse, "said Caroline. The one who spoke was Carolyn, who was sitting beside Tyrael. She was also the other national treasure doctor in the room.
"Leonrick is a good man. But you should know that I'm not against him," Tyrael replied in a low voice.
"You mean that young man? I took a look at him when I came in just now. He's a very handsome youth, "Carolyn said with a smile.
"A young man? So he's a young master. "Tyrael sneered.
Carolyn shook her head in disagreement. "What you said to Hedrick just now was right. Medicine is sacred. But I hope you don't forget that we all swore an oath to the sacred land. We can't be biased. "
"We can't be biased. That's when it comes to patients. Do you think that young master is a patient? "Tyrael retorted.
Caroline fell silent.
Hedrick returned to the podium to discuss the treatment plan that he had to carry out despite knowing that it was useless.
At this moment, the door to the conference room was pushed open with a bang. Leonrick strode in with a dark expression. The young man was nowhere to be seen.
"Hedrick, are you going to disobey me as well?" Leonrick glared at Tyrael. He suppressed his anger and pointed it at Hedrick.
Even though the steward had said that Tyrael was the one who stopped Hedrick, Leonrick couldn't bear to blame him. Tyrael was the only remaining national treasure of the court.
Hedrick didn't know how to defend himself. He didn't dare to push the blame to Tyrael either.
"Come with me. I'm going to the 'shadowless' ward." Without waiting for Hedrick's answer, Leonrick ordered the guards to take him away.
Leonrick was known for his gentleness. This was the first time in history that someone like Leonrick had done something like this.
All the medical professors in the room widened their eyes in shock.
Tyrael's expression also darkened. Before he could say anything, Caroline stopped him. "Think about it. Why didn't Leonrick give you face? If that young man really has something to do with him, he's probably more than a spoiled brat. "
Tyrael considered and nodded at Caroline. "More than a spoiled brat?"
He stood up and walked to Leonrick. "I have some ideas about how to treat Margot, and I need to see other shadowless patients. Why don't we go together?"
Leonrick gave Tyrael a meaningful look. Since Tyrael was using the excuse of "treating Margot" as an excuse, he couldn't say no.
Leonrick sighed inwardly. "If that's the case, let's go together."
After everyone left, Caroline looked around the room and whispered to the vice director, "I'm worried. I'll go check it out. You stay here."
…
When Leonrick returned to the "shadowless" ward, he saw Angor playing with a small bird. He knew that the bird was definitely not an ordinary seabird. He could still vividly remember the phantom image of the bird when it was sprinting.
However, the others did not know about this, especially Tyrael. When he saw the young man playing with a bird in a gauze dress, Tyrael's eyebrows furrowed even higher. He cursed under his breath, "What a waste of time!"
Caroline, who was standing beside Tyrael, also showed a displeased look. What did all the spoiled brats in the royal court love the most? Birds, of course. Not only did this young man raise birds, but he also dressed them! Even Caroline, who had always been a gentle person, felt a little disgusted.
"Mister Mask, the president is here. Shall we go in and have a look? "Leonrick asked politely.
Angor glanced at the new arrivals. He remembered the two old men among them. They seemed to be some kind of "national treasure" doctors. He heard their conversation earlier, and it was true. When he saw them, he nodded to them with a smile.
The two men were surprised for a moment. Caroline quickly realized what was going on and returned a kind smile. Tyrael, on the other hand, was wearing a cold expression. He even snorted from his nostrils.
Angor did not know why he was being ignored. He was also puzzled.
"Let's go then." Angor didn't want to argue with them. He asked Hedrick to lead the way and entered the forbidden area of Golden Cross Medical School — Ward 0, which was now changed into a "shadowless" ward.
