Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva
Chapter 665 Forced Retention
The sixth day's treatment mission ended at dusk. Starting from this afternoon, Tilan began to deliberately select patients with more serious conditions for treatment, and delayed the treatment of other patients with less serious conditions.
Finally, the patients with more serious conditions were treated before dark. As for the others who had not yet been treated, their conditions could be cured by other doctors, but it would take more time and the effect would not be good.
The sun sank into the horizon. When the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the top of the tent, the curtain of the tent fell completely and closed. Then it was the process of cleaning the environment and packing up.
After washing her hands and taking off the bird-beak mask she had worn for a day, Tilan wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then took off her coat, revealing a cooler dress.
"Huh, I can finally breathe." Sitting on the stool, the girl took off her shoes, washed her feet with clean water, and then stepped lightly on the wooden board, waiting for it to dry.
At this time, other people in the tent also took off their coats and masks, packed up the things in the tent, and occasionally someone came to say a few words to Tilan.
"There seems to be a quarrel outside. Several late patients are coming in."
"I heard it." Tilan nodded, then looked at the closed door curtain.
"But we can't stay here any longer, otherwise this process will never end. There will always be people injured and people who need treatment, but my ability is limited."
"Today I have tried my best to cure those who are seriously ill. For the rest, they can only find reliable doctors on their own." She found a towel, wiped her feet clean, and then put on her socks and light shoes again.
"Let's go. The Wolf Blood King Camp will handle the specific follow-up matters. After all, they have collected a lot of money in the past few days." At this point, Tilan shook her head. In fact, it was still a loss. If she used the money from the Wolf Blood King's revenue, she could buy three times the food.
But this is someone else's territory. She has no intention of breaking the order for the time being, so she abides by the rules of the game set by the other party.
"Yes." Everyone has almost packed up now, and handed over some of the temporarily rented coats to the housekeeper in charge of the middle tent, and other items have also been handed over.
But when everyone was about to leave, a familiar figure came from the back door of the tent.
"Why are you so anxious?" Gus's fat and big-eared image is hard to associate with the wolf-blood species. Today, he is wearing a loose white coat, with three golden necklaces around his neck, and several strong guards behind him.
"The Queen has heard about the agreement between Miss Heshia and me. In the past few days, Miss Heshia's reputation has spread throughout the King's Camp. It just so happens that today is the end of six days of medical treatment, so the Queen asked me to invite you to the banquet and have dinner together. I wonder if you can go with me." Although it was an invitation, looking at his smiling face, it seems that he did not give everyone the option to refuse.
"This..." Several people present hesitated.
For the wolf-blood species, participating in the Queen's banquet would be a great honor, but they are not members of the King's Camp. Facing the queen who rules the grassland in person, I am afraid it will be a mountain of pressure.
"Okay, but I need to change my clothes a little." Tilan wanted to see what kind of person the wolf-blood queen was.
"Of course, there is no problem. Time is not so urgent. As long as everyone gathers at the main tent within an hour, it will be fine." Gus responded generously.
Then he asked someone to escort Heshia and her group back to the caravan camp to change clothes and prepare, and he led the group back.
After returning to the camp, the caravan members noticed that there were several groups of wolf-blooded people guarding and monitoring outside the camp. Knowing that leaving at this time might not be a good choice, everyone had to start changing into more decent clothes and go to the banquet.
"It's enough to take 6 people with you. The rest of you stay here to guard. In addition, pack up your things. We will leave tomorrow." Tilan thought about it and said so.
"Yes." Although the girl didn't say the reason, the other people in the caravan also noticed something strange.
It seems that purchasing food this time is not so easy to complete.
...
One hour later, the main tent of Wangying.
Although it is called a tent, the space inside is extremely spacious. There are twelve thick giant trees around the tent, and the space inside is nearly several stories high. There are dim glass lamps hanging on it, and pine oil is burning inside, emitting bursts of fragrance.
When Tilan and her companions arrived, there were already many wolf-blooded high-level people gathering here. They imitated the ancient feudal nobles in the stories and legends, wearing satin dresses, holding wine glasses, and chatting with each other, but the calluses and scars on their arms and faces were somewhat out of tune with the satin dresses on their bodies.
"Miss Heshia is here~" The waiter at the door saw Tilan and others coming and hurriedly notified.
Although it has only been a week, the limelight and reputation of this girl are known to everyone in the king's camp, but the outside world is not clear about her specific image, while the people in the king's camp and some settlement high-level people know that this seemingly young girl is the famous doctor who has been in the limelight this time.
"Miss Heshia, good evening~" A wolf-blooded noble lady raised a wine glass to greet her.
After dressing up and grooming, the wolfbloods look similar to ordinary humans, but when they are in combat, it is a completely different scene.
"Hello~" the girl politely returned the greeting and continued on her way.
Arriving at the banquet, Tilan found Gus who was entertaining the guests at the innermost part. The other raised his glass and praised Tilan for her beautiful clothes and charming temperament tonight.
"This is Miss Heshia, the legendary doctor who has become famous in recent days." He introduced Tilan first, and then introduced the two people around her to the girl.
"This is Mudrick, the leader of the 'Sharp Teeth' settlement." The man next to him looked to be in his forties or fifties, with short chestnut brown hair, dark red eyes, and a tall figure. He looked quite calm and resolute, different from those ordinary wolf-bloods who only knew how to act recklessly and fight.
"Hello." Tilan nodded slightly in greeting.
"Hello." The other party returned the wine glass and raised his hand.
"This is Blitz, the leader of the 'White Fang' settlement." As he said this, he raised his palm to another person beside him. This person had dark golden hair and three white pigments on his face, like the marks of a claw.
"Hello." Tilan nodded again.
Compared with Mudrick, the leader of the 'Sharp Teeth' settlement, Blitz, the 'White Fang', was obviously a little absent-minded. His eyes occasionally looked at the entrance of the tent, as if waiting for someone to appear.
Seeing that Blitz didn't respond, Mudrick came out to smooth things over. He took the initiative to ask Tilan some harmless questions.
"I heard that Miss Heshia is a great doctor. I wonder if you will have time to come to the Sharp Teeth settlement in the future. The scenery there is pretty good. The children are also looking forward to communicating with beautiful and wise people like you."
"Thank you. If there is a chance, I will go." Tilan responded. Unexpectedly, this seemingly calm and resolute leader actually knows social flexibility and is not so rigid.
Just as the few people were talking about some recent things in the grassland and the king's camp, the long-awaited queen finally arrived.
The sound of golden gongs was heard outside the tent, and then the noisy communication in the banquet venue gradually stopped. Everyone looked at the entrance and gave way to the main road in the middle, waiting for the queen to arrive.
When Tilan saw the tall figure of the wolf-blood queen turning around and walking out from behind the brazier for the first time, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly in surprise, because the queen looked really too tall, and she was almost not the same species as the surrounding wolf-blood species.
Fortunately, although she became extremely tall, her body shape and distribution did not change much. It can even be seen from her strong legs that the opponent will definitely not be slow in battle.
Her slender arms were opened and brushed over the people present. Her blood-red nails swept over the candlesticks. The copper candles that livened up the atmosphere of the banquet went out one by one, leaving only the candlelight around the throne on the high platform in the middle, and the other places were illuminated by the dim lights above their heads. Carrying gusts of breeze and airflow, the wolf-blood queen sat on her throne in a chic manner. Her legs were higher than some people present. She tilted her body, and her narrow eyes slowly swept across the audience, and then stopped on Heshia.
"You are Heshia, right."
"It's me, Queen." Tilan learned to address other wolf-bloods, but did not kneel down, just bowed her head to salute.
"Very good medical skills, I can see that you are also well-educated."
"Stay in the King's Camp in the future, there is room for you to display your talents here, as for the food you want, I will have someone send it back, no one in this grassland dares to rob the wolf blood species." She didn't even ask Heshia's thoughts, but gave a direct order.
"This..." Tilan thought about how to refuse.
"Thank you for your kindness, Queen, but I have other things to do first, I'm afraid I can only come to the King's Camp as a guest in the future." Tilan folded her hands and bowed politely to apologize.
"So, do you want to disobey my order?" When saying this, the Wolf Blood Queen's eyes were playful and smiling, making it difficult to guess her true thoughts. Because of this sentence, the atmosphere of the entire banquet became a little quiet and solemn, and everyone focused their attention on the girl.
"Heshia is just a passerby passing through the grassland. I don't have any hostile thoughts with you. Please forgive me, Queen." She didn't answer the question directly, but jumped out of the frame and faced the thoughts behind the queen's words.
"Hehe, you are indeed a smart girl. When I see you, I feel that some people around me are too stupid." As she said this, she looked at Gus who was wiping his sweat.
"Although you promised to come again later, this answer is too perfunctory in my opinion." The Wolf Blood Queen raised the wine glass on her side and asked the waiter to pour her wine.
"When is the future, and how long will it take? I am not such a patient person, and I need a clear answer."
It seems that the other party will not give her the space to evade the answer, the girl thought.
"It will be two years later, and I will come to Wangying as a guest again. As for how long I stay, it depends on how long you are willing to keep me." Two years later, the Star Chaser Covenant will gradually improve, and she will not have to worry too much. Besides, by that time, the Federation's starships may come, and the Wolf Blood Queen will not pose any trouble.
"Two years?" The Wolf Blood Queen shook her finger.
"You are the first person who dares to make me wait for two years." When she said this, the queen's expression changed a little, and her pupils gradually became sharper.
"What if I don't let you go? What are you going to do?"
"This..." It seems that polite refusal is useless after all. The other party is a strong person and will not just walk down the stairs.
"Then please let my friend take the food back first for emergency, and I will stay alone." This way, no matter what she does next, she will be free.
"Wouldn't it be too lonely to leave you alone? How about leaving half of the people here, and I'll let my men escort the others back." The Wolf Blood Queen smiled and tapped the armrest with her fingers. For her, teasing this charming and intelligent girl is much more interesting and fun than interacting with those stupid guys.
Facing the step-by-step pressure from the Wolf Blood Queen, Tilan could only give in step by step in her words, which made her feel that no matter how clear and logical the weak party was, it would be difficult to defend its own interests at the negotiation table.
It was obvious that the other party was not prepared to let her go from the beginning. It was estimated that with the greedy character of the wolf blood species, it would be a pedantic behavior that would make people laugh.
The strong are not subject to criticism. As the ruler of the grassland, no one dared to comment on or oppose any order or decision of the Wolf Blood Queen, because these wolf cubs really kill people.
Well, the so-called means and rhetoric are limited after all, especially in this land.
Tilan shook her head and gave up the idea of continuing to refute.
"The settlement where I live is quite far away. Please send more people to escort me, Queen." She bowed and bowed, and then stopped answering.
Seeing the girl's apparent surrender, the Wolf Blood Queen smiled happily as if she had won the game. Only then did the other people at the banquet dare to speak again, and the atmosphere became lively again.
After a few more 'cups' of fine wine, the Wolf Blood Queen stood up and left the banquet, leaving the place for everyone to revel. For ordinary people, the rare banquet wine and delicacies, she had long been tired of them, and there was no fun in staying at the scene.
When the banquet in the Wolf Blood King's camp was going on, in an unknown dungeon in the corner of the King's camp, the person who was originally responsible for guarding slowly fell against the wall and fell unconscious. At this time, a woman in a purple coat stepped over the guard who fell to the ground and walked into this quiet detention point.
Soon, she found the target she wanted to see. It was a special cell with much better environment and space than others.
"You are here, envoy." Lewender heard the footsteps and looked up quickly, finally seeing the familiar figure.
"You seem to have expected my arrival?" The woman's face was shrouded in a veil, and her footsteps were slow and silent.
"Someone happened to have seen you and told me what might happen."
"Oh, who is the other party?" Since there is no ambush here, it means that the person who saw through it has no ill intentions.
"She is the legendary doctor in the city recently, and she also saved me." Lewender walked to the iron railing.
"She?" The woman noticed that in Lewender's description, the doctor seemed to be a woman.
"Yes, she looks very young, but she is extremely knowledgeable and has warned me a lot of things." Lewender told the person in front of him what the girl said yesterday.
"Her guess is indeed correct, but I think she is in trouble now." The woman shook her head.
"But since she said so, I will wait for two more days. You will have to stay in the cell for now."
"If you fail to leave the city with the caravan in two days, I will rescue you."
"The settlement is currently short of manpower. Not only will it be troublesome without you, but you don't want Bunny to be without a father in the future, right?" She said about Lewind's daughter.
"Is Bunny okay?" Lewind asked with concern.
"She's fine, she just misses you."
"Be careful during this time, don't underestimate the Wolfblood Queen. Also, I can't stay here for long, otherwise she will notice me." After saying that, the woman's figure slowly disappeared, as if blown away by the wind.
"This kind of high-level illusion... It seems that the envoy should be Sequence 6." Lewind was a little encouraged in his heart and gradually calmed down.
"It depends on whether we can leave the city tomorrow."
The night gradually darkened, but the main tent in the Wolfblood King's camp was still filled with music and brightly lit.
