Chapter 20 Lost Before You Can Walk
In a pitch-black place, Seraph's mother quickly drove a carriage to take Seraph to see a doctor. Seraph returned from the white ring, stood up, and looked at Somen with a shocked face. Seria jumped and hugged Seraph with tears that kept flowing. "Wha... Wha... Is your brother okay? Is your brother okay? What a relief!?... " Seria cried heavily. Somen looked at his son who still had his face straight. Somen felt like he had lifted a boulder off his back. " Seraph, are you okay? Is there anything that's giving you a headache? " Seraph shook his head. " I just fainted from training. I apologize. " Somen nodded and looked at his daughter whose tears had almost dried up again. Somen looked at Serin who was showing off her skills in driving the carriage with a serious expression. " Serin, there's no need to hurry. Seraph has woken up, so drive a little slower. " Somen walked over to control the carriage. And Serin rushed to hug Seraph. "Relieved, my son. Don't do anything like this again. You almost gave me a heart attack. We're going to see a doctor, so lie down first." Seraph followed Serin's advice and Seria sat watching over her brother. The carriage that was running very fast slowed down.
In a place, there was a man in a white robe holding a knife with a sharp blade. He looked like an old man with short white hair. His name was Perron. In front of Perron, a young nurse who looked like the one who treated Barria was being held in a restraint. Her hand looked hopeless. Perron smiled happily. "Heh heh heh heh, it's expensive. But it can't fix my finger like it was before. Then die. People want you to treat them but you charge me. It's annoying to see. So this is the compensation for abandoning your patient. Go to hell and regret it." Perron prepared to cut off the nurse. The nurse tried to struggle but couldn't. The rope was very strong, and the strong anesthetic made the nurse have no urge to struggle. [This bastard, I'm just a nurse, I don't have the ability to regenerate fingers, and you want me to use a rare magical item to fix your poor finger? Why do I have to do this? This is why I hate those people who have no money. Back then, the kids had a lot more money than you. Now they're poor and asking for help? It's so infuriating to see.]
The sound of a door being opened from outside the house. There was a knock on the door. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Perron stopped his hand and looked at the nurse suspiciously. [Who the hell came to see a doctor so late at night? They even came at night, you damn bastards.] Perron changed his clothes in a hurry and ran to open the door. Perron opened the door to reveal Seraph's family who had come late at night. Somen quickly spoke at lightning speed, "Sorry for disturbing you late at night. My son suddenly fainted, so please check on me. This kid used the energy stone to faint. Somen showed a serious expression. Perron immediately felt sorry. [What kind of treatment is this? I don't even know how to treat them. Let's just go through it and give them the medicine. No, these guys have seen my face. I have to shut these four people up first. If that woman disappears, they will be the ones who will make me arrested.] Perron smiled. "Then please come in. If it's an emergency, it's fine." Perron made way for the four of them to come in. But only Somen was waiting outside the house. Two women and a man walked in. Perron asked curiously. "And the other one didn't come in?"
Somen shook his head. "There are too many people coming in. They'll just be a nuisance. So I'll stay and guard here." Perron smiled. "Then it might take a long time. So please wait a bit. [Tch. I have to go kill this guy again. If he comes in all at once, it'll be easier to kill him.] Seraph walked over and sat down at the same place, waiting for Perron to come and investigate. Seria was walking around looking around. "Is your brother new? Why did your nurse sister go?" Peron turned pale and answered Seria's question with a smile on his face. "That sister went out to do some business, so it'll probably be tomorrow." Seria smiled and looked at the medicine bottles that were still neatly arranged, some of them secretly opened. Seria turned around.Look at Perron who is in charge of checking Seraph and is preparing things. Perron starts walking around looking for something that seems appropriate. [Definitely dead, definitely dead, definitely broken, how do they use this check? I've never been treated before, I have to think about something that seems appropriate, so that they won't be suspicious, what's good, think about me, I have to make them lower their guard first.] Perron walks around looking for things hurriedly, remembers something. [Yes, yes, right when the girl is about to get it, that's definitely the equipment.] Perron is about to be happy, a voice from Seria comes out.
Seria runs to stand beside Seria who has a calm expression. "This is the checkup equipment. The doctor just came today, right? So I don't know where to keep what equipment. I come here often, so I know what this is used for. " Seria picks up something that looks like a pillow and puts it on the table. The pillow is half the size of Seria's shoulder, it's white, it's like a blood pressure measuring arm. And another bottle of medicine. Seria took the bottle and placed it on the table. The letters did not write the description of the medicine. "And this is your medicine, doctor." Perron smiled. "Hmm, hmm, sorry, sorry. It helped a lot. I was just looking for that." [Tch, there's another person who knows about this. I have to find the right time to kill these guys.] Perron walked over and sat in front of Seraph, who still had a straight face.
Perron analyzed hard about what to do with the thing in front of him so that the three of them wouldn't be suspicious. The three of them stared at Perron seriously. [How else is this used?] While Perron was busy with the medical equipment, Seria smiled brightly, waiting for Perron's performance to start. Because Perron was staring at the equipment without blinking, Seraph asked. "No need. You're not good at this, are you?" [According to the doctor's examination, he could examine it normally. But because he knew that? I'm fine, so I don't need to examine it. He was thinking of a way to make them believe him. Then it should end. A warrior must be treated by a warrior. This doctor who is looking for something, the possibility of not being good at this type of treatment, so he hesitated how to answer.] While Seraph replied softly,
But it was the opposite path of Perron. Perron's eyes trembled with shock, the eyes trembled non-stop, sweat poured down non-stop along with the heart beating irregularly. [This guy, he knew from the beginning but still tested me? And dared to say it like this. This guy knows who I am and what I am doing right now. That young girl thought why did he know? In fact, it is because he knows who I am. And the child in front of her is a warrior. Just now, I forgot about the man sitting outside the house. He said that this child absorbed the energy stone until he fainted. That means telling me that the child in front of you is a warrior. These guys can come in this close range. I was trapped since I let them in. That means the equipment in front of me is not a useless equipment measuring device. But it is a device to tie me up. There are two choices. One, take the thing in front of me and punch it yourself. And another thing is taking medicine? What is this medicine? The path is dark and eight-sided. This blond-haired boy, just walking in and sitting down without anyone supporting him, means that the story of fainting is a lie.] Perron smiled and accepted. No matter what, he was still afraid of dying. "I surrender." Perron surrendered because he was afraid of dying. Seraph's calm and composed face still looked at the old man with doubt. [Huh!?]
