The eccentric doctor never makes a misdiagnosis!

Even if one is entangled in a protective ritual curse, it can be easily removed afterwards.

"Given the Black Raven's adoration and being a genuine apostle, why would she acquire the Order's collection in this way?"

The deceased was deeply puzzled by this.

After surveying the inventory, he frowned in surprise.

The apostle did not take away the most precious items from the treasure vault, whether they were high-level relics from the deepest chambers or spirit-infused materials that had long since disappeared... all of them were intact.

After completing the inventory of the entire treasure room, the remaining eye finally found what Fran had stolen.

It is the ancient banyan fruit, "Shadow of the Past," obtained from the ruins of the Norrington Library, along with the scroll detailing its origin and related information.

"Hmm...they only took that fruit?"

The [Shadow of the Past] contains a vast amount of temporal spiritual energy and the inexhaustible vitality of the ancient banyan tree, making it truly a treasure. However, for the Six-Eyed Raven Order, it is not considered indispensable.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and for some reason, he felt a strange sense of relief.

Although the Six-Eyed Raven Order was disgraced as a result, the other party was a Raven Feather Apostle, and the nature of this incident can be regarded as an "internal dispute." Strictly speaking, the Order did not lose face in external affairs.

He wasn't angry about it, nor was he too upset.

After all, that lady's thieving skills were so superb that if the Star Abyss Society hadn't gotten involved, Yi Mu would have even intended to recruit her. If she were willing to join the cult, he could even be relegated to a secondary position.

For the Order to truly prosper, an apostle who can walk the earth is undoubtedly the greatest guarantee.

After calming down, Yi Mu couldn't help but feel a little curious about Melvis's attitude.

Although Oak Shadow Nest's treasure vault was stolen, the items taken were barely within acceptable limits, so it didn't cause them to lose their composure.

In contrast, the old man from the Star Abyss Society completely abandoned his feigned dignity and composure, leaving only his most primal madness. He immediately activated the first type of ritual, disregarding losses and consumption, displaying a reckless and determined attitude.

From this perspective, the items lost from the Sleeping Sand Bell Tower are far more important, perhaps even concerning the very lifeblood of the Listening Tide people. This certainly warrants sending scouts to investigate.

So, does Ms. Vivian taking only that one fruit count as a kind of "comradeship"?

With a hint of self-consolation, Yi Mu stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

After sinking into the reflection-filled space, Haida slowly exhaled, feeling the burden on her body instantly lighten.

From the perspective of the High Priest of the Remains, his control over Oak Shadow Nest was usurped by an irresistible force.

But from Heda's perspective, even with the help of the Throne of the Heads and her future self, she had almost exhausted all her spirituality.

Although her spiritual energy was almost depleted, thanks to her extraordinary physical abilities, Haida experienced no discomfort other than a brief period of dizziness.

"Let's go back to Fog Street first."

"Although we obtained the remaining Ancient Banyan Fruit at Oak Shadow Nest, we still need to do some follow-up work at the clinic and resolve some lingering problems."

Fran gently patted Heda's back a few times to help her soothe the discomfort of spiritual depletion.

The [Shadow of the Future] not only activated but also brought with it a portion of spirituality from the future, and the fruit itself contained the life force of the ancient banyan tree. With this external replenishment, Haida quickly regained her mobility.

“Dr. Fran, I can’t maintain this condition for much longer. Once the projection of the Throne of Judgment dissipates… the Secret Realm will begin to reject us.”

she whispered.

Just as Haida was about to leave the secret realm, she saw Fran give a cryptic smile but did not take a step.

Sensing something was amiss, the nun carefully examined Fran's current state.

Under the corrosive influence of the first type of ritual, [Abyssal Well and Skeleton Palace], her legs were covered with a layer of pale coral bone, spreading from her ankles to her knees.

Although further erosion has stopped, the current condition... is clearly not very convenient for walking.

"The effects of the secret technique? Let me carry you, Dr. Fran."

Having done this before, Haida felt no qualms and carried Fran on her back.

For Haida, carrying someone on her back wasn't even considered a burden. Besides, the doctor was rather slender.

Fran leaned against Haida's neck, letting out a soft sigh of relief, thankful she no longer had to walk an hour... The distance she walked to get there was equivalent to a month's worth of exercise, which didn't align with her principle of taking the easy way out.

After traveling for some time, the two left the shadowy narrow room of the secret realm and stepped into the misty, gray-white space within the doorway.

Stepping into the main hall of the Fog Street Clinic, Haida gently and steadily placed Fran on the velvet sofa.

Her grey-chestnut eyes narrowed slightly before she meticulously examined the doctor's legs and arms, which were stained with the Abyss Bone Stone.

"The forbidden element of the first-class secret technique has already seeped into the skin and invaded the muscles." (Wu)

"Dr. Fran, is there anything I can do for you?" Zhong

As she spoke, she lightly tapped Fran's ankle, which was covered in bone plaster, with her index finger knuckle, producing a crisp tapping sound, like the echo of plaster. Q

For most people, this is a trauma sufficient for amputation.

Even if limbs are severed, as long as the spread of the Abyssal Spirit Essence is not completely eliminated, those pale coral bones will continue to proliferate from the flesh.

Trusting Fran's medical skills, Heda wasn't overly worried; she simply wanted to know if there was anything she could help with.

"Hmm... such large inorganic substances can be easily removed with [Dust Removal and Dirt Removal]. The missing skin and flesh can be replenished later."

Fran lightly touched his lower lip with his fingertips, as if considering which option to use.

"But that would be a bit wasteful."

As her amber eyes flickered slightly, she seemed to have come up with a suitable medical plan.

“If we want to implement the other plan, I do need Sister Heda’s help.”

As he spoke, Fran untied the straps of his Mary Jane shoes, lifted the heels, and set them aside.

“Use the power sword ‘Nirvana’ to cut off the tainted part, that way we can utilize the forbidden spiritual essence remaining in the Abyss Bone Stone.”

She struggled to lift her leg, which was covered in bone, and then used a quill pen to draw a dotted line at the junction of the bone and the normal skin of her leg.

“Cut along here.”

Looking at the dotted line on Fran's leg, Haida narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips somewhat awkwardly.

"...Dr. Fran, are you serious?"

"of course."

Fran nodded slightly, his clear eyes revealing genuine sincerity.

"In that case, I will try my best to do it well. After all, treating external injuries is also part of the duties of a 'head nurse'."

Haida took the power sword "Nirvana" from Fran's medicine box and carefully placed the blade against the line drawn on the opponent's leg.

Although she wasn't considered an "enemy" in the definition of a power sword, her rich and unique spirit was undeniably alluring. Therefore, at this moment, "Nirvana" couldn't help but emit a few metallic hums tinged with excitement.

Her movements were steady and powerful. With a single sword strike, the part of Fran's leg that had been completely covered by the Abyss Bone Stone was immediately removed.

Contrary to expectations of splattered blood, there was no bleeding at the incision site, seemingly due to some special treatment by Fran. The cross-section was smooth and regular, revealing the pulsating texture of the flesh and bone.

"How about it? Isn't the modular design of the human body ingenious? This is one of my most practical academic achievements."

Fran took two new lower legs from the medicine box and then attached them along the sutures at the knee joints.

Ever since that time she made a house call in "Future Norrington" with only a head left, she developed the habit of keeping extra limbs in her medicine box... for easy access and use, as a kind of medical resource reserve.

After moving the toes of her new foot to confirm that the connection was correct, she turned her attention to the severed part.

The severed limb, now a coral sculpture, was still wrapped in Fran's winter-style cotton stockings. However, these stockings were tattered and torn by the piercing of the bone stones, reduced to tattered strips of cloth riddled with holes.

The shoes were spared only because they were in the shadow of the Oak Nest floor.

"The effects of the first type of secret technique are indeed troublesome. The erosion speed of [Abyss Palace] far exceeds that of similar techniques. Also, I really like these stockings..."

Fran lifted his cheek with one hand and let out a soft sigh of regret.

Watching the doctor constantly massaging her ankle to promote blood circulation, Haida couldn't help but squint slightly.

No, compared to the amputated leg, the socks shouldn't even be worth paying attention to...

After removing the largest eroded part, Fran snapped his fingers, and the clear light of [Dust Removal] immediately shone.

The bone fragments in her palms and other parts of her body immediately crumbled in the wind, turning into star-like pale bone dust.

"Once the Yuanhai spiritual essence within the body dissipates completely, the effects of this technique will be completely eliminated."

As she spoke, she slowly shifted her gaze to Haida beside her.

“Dear Sister Heda, now let us resolve your problem.”

"I?"

Haida was slightly puzzled by this.

Only after Fran's prompting did she gradually sense a sinister aura lingering deep within her consciousness.

"The protective ritual set up on the secret box is the 'Five Eyes Curse'."

Fran explained the essence of the curse in a light and easy manner.

"The first two eyes originate from the innate nature of every human being. The third eye refers to the spiritual knowledge and revelation within the brain. The fourth eye is the footsteps and traces left on the path of ascension. As for the fifth eye, it is the opened soul eye."

"Those who are completely corrupted by the Five Eyes Curse will confuse the illusions in their eyes with reality and be entangled in endless delusions."

After being reminded, Haida could sense that the curse was quietly taking effect.

Many scenes from the past surfaced in her gray-chestnut eyes, each one incredibly real, almost as if she were there herself.

The cruel alchemical experiments in Commons Chamber, the decaying crown that descended upon Norrington's main street, and the future Norrington shrouded in crimson dust...

Haida closed her eyes, but the vivid illusions did not dissipate in the slightest.

"How should it be treated?"

She asked Fran, who was standing next to her.

The doctor simply smiled, as if he had been prepared for this.

"Don't worry, Haida, the treatment process is very simple. The pure winter spirituality contained in the wounds left on you by the girl in the mirror, although it has almost completely dissipated, can still dispel the curse."

Before she finished speaking, the lingering spirit of winter was awakened and appeared in response.

In an instant, a biting coldness surged into Haida's limbs and bones, so much so that her breath turned into visible white mist.

Although a chill ran deep within his body, the strange hallucination in his mind did indeed dissipate.

Haida bit her lip slightly, adjusting her breathing evenly.

Her heart began to beat strongly in her chest, and the warm blood transformed into a continuous flow of heat. After a while, her limbs, which had been numb from the cold, regained their warmth.

Are you feeling any better?

Fran blinked and, in a tone befitting a medical examiner, inquired about Haida's current condition.

"I'm much better. The curse and the chill... are gone."

After assessing her current state, Haida carefully considered her response. As her thoughts gradually cleared, she suddenly recalled some details from Oak Shadow Nest.

At that time, Dr. Fran deliberately made herself retrieve the secret box containing the ancient banyan fruit, instead of using her abilities to take it away. Was it because she had already planned to use the Five Eyes Curse to deplete the remaining Winter Spirit Essence within her?

This is indeed something she would do, consistent with her style. Some seemingly unintentional, subtle actions are often the result of long-term planning…

After eliminating the hidden dangers left at Oak Shadow Nest, Fran reclined lazily on the velvet sofa. His long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he squinted his eyes tenderly.

This isn't the clinic at the Norrington main store, so there won't be any deer fighting her for the sofa.

She was planning to take a short nap, but suddenly realized that she had forgotten about a little guy who wasn't very noticeable.

...Vivian seems to still be in the first habitat.

Although he thought of Vivian, who had been left behind at the Full Moon Auction, Fran was now immersed in the dreamy softness of the sofa and had no desire to go out.

Fortunately, she had a responsible, capable, and energetic funeral maid by her side at her beck and call...

“Ahem, Sister Haida, could you please go to the First Settlement to meet Vivian? I will provide extra budget for fieldwork.”

"Ok."

When faced with a request concerning her subordinates, Haida agreed without hesitation.
