Lacey’s brows furrowed upon noticing the situation. Nicholas asked, “How is she?”Lacey replied, “She’s losing too much blood. If this continues, she will need a blood transfusion.”He answered, “We’re almost done. Use the silver needle to shut all her main arteries for three minutes before reopening them. Check her blood and find out what’s coming out of her skin.”Lacey nodded. She looked at Adrian and Mya. “Prepare another bucket of hot water.”Adrian and Mya nodded. Lacey removed all the needles on Gloria’s body and inserted new needles into a few main acupoints. Then, she ordered Adrian to get Gloria out of the tub and put her into another. Lacey extracted some blood from Gloria’s skin and put it under a microscope.She reported, “The worms are dead. We’ve succeeded, Nick.”He replied, “Don’t get excited yet. Let’s continue to observe her.”Lacey inhaled a deep breath. She then noticed Gloria’s skin slowly turning purplish-black in numerous spots. The spots on her skin
Gloria calmed down at last. She stopped shaking and her vital signs stabilized. Even though the value did not meet the normal standards, it was still well within the scope of treatment. In the meantime, Gloria had already fallen asleep. She felt as if everything around her was unrelated to her. All she wanted to do was close her eyes. Lacey felt relief wash over her after seeing Gloria’s latest condition. Adrian looked at Gloria, then turned to ask Lacey, “How is she?”Lacey nodded. “She has pulled through. I’ll examine the mutated cells in her blood again to find out the number of cells that have yet to be expelled.” She drew some blood and placed it into a piece of testing equipment. After getting the results, Lacey pronounced, “It’s much better than I had hoped. Only a small amount of mutated cells remain. The medicine extracted from the Nihil Pill and Snowspirin is still working inside her body to kill the remaining mutated cells. I’ll perform a few more rounds of acupunctur
“There was a huge commotion in Navia on the third day of you getting Gloria out of the island. My Navien friend told me about the incident, and I immediately set off for Isle 416,” explained Nicholas.“So you already left before Wyvern Peak arrived?”Nicholas nodded. “Though my medical skills are quite good, I’m a novice in everything else. I have sufficient means to deal with low-level challenges, but if you had been with me on Mount Shangspar, I wouldn’t have been injured.”Adrian said, “I’m not as powerful as you think I am.”“It’s enough that you’re more powerful than me,” said Nicholas. “Let’s crack the secrets of the Uduma Desert and Mount Shangspar together after I send Gloria back to Swallowston. Everything will be unveiled naturally then.”Nicholas raised his mug and smiled. Adrian said, “If you joined Wyvern Peak, you’d make an outstanding legate. There once was a legate with a medical background, and he was an exceptional legate.”Nicholas said, “Firstly, I don’t h
Wyvern Peak was currently managed by the ten elders, who, albeit outstanding military strategists, were not qualified leaders. Wyvern Peak lacked a legate who could lead all its soldiers to victory. Since Adrian’s retirement, Wyvern Peak was in need of young individuals with skills to contribute and revitalize the organization. Adrian said without any hesitation, “Though Wyvern Peak can’t be shaken within a short period, the organization will weaken if left without a leader for a long time. Luposia is keeping a close watch on the border. Crystal is right. I too believe that we should push forward the selection.”Brett nodded. “Her Majesty and the elders thought so too and wanted your opinion, sir. If you are agreeable, they’ll make the necessary arrangements on their side.”Adrian did not dismiss the idea. “Okay. Pass the message to Navia and tell them that the selection can be pushed forward. But make sure that the preparations and precautions are comprehensive. No error should oc
Crystal turned around when she heard this. "Draco agreed to it?"The woman nodded. "Yes, he has.""Did you ask how Gloria's doing? Has she been cured?" Crystal asked. "Brett says that Gloria is currently undergoing treatment from Lacey Yellen and Nicholas Frost, apprentices of the miracle doctor. She's out of danger now, and the legate says he’ll be back in Novemton within the next half month. He’ll be present during the selection to witness the new legate rising up to their role." "That’s good to hear." Crystal stood up. "Contact the elders, the Battle Warrior Department, and all other relevant parties immediately. Tell them to have every city in Novemton get ready for battle and that the selection will be held on October the sixth.""Yes, Your Majesty." The Battle Warrior Department of Novemton received word almost immediately after Crystal gave her orders."Novemton has decreed that the selection process for Wyvern Peak's legate will be held on the sixth of October. All de
It was not just Samantha who was eager to see the new legate of Wyvern Peak being chosen, but all of Novemton. Everyone wanted to know who was going to become the next legate.***News of the selection spread far and wide, including to various academies. Three days later, a group of linguistics-major students were gossiping inside Azure Creek University's lecture hall."Hey guys, have you heard that the selection for the new legate will be held on the sixth of October, and they're going to finalize it this year?""Yes, I also heard that there's been commotion near the borders. Wyvern Peak urgently needs a new legate to lead them.""I wonder who the next legate is going to be?"The students were discussing the matter inside their lecture hall, where Juno was sitting. She listened to every word that was being said. As Juno took a deep breath, a few female students walked over. "Juno, I hear that a few academies like ours are eligible to participate in the selection. Are you goi
All the students replied in unison. Lohawk nodded. "Excellent. That means your network is more extensive than mine. On that note, I’d like to congratulate all the women. This is something worth celebrating, after all."All of the girls in the lecture hall were in high spirits, eager to hear why Lohawk was congratulating them."Half a year ago, War Legate Draco abolished a few of the selection rules. From this year onwards, female students will be allowed to participate in the selection so long as they're capable. Isn't this good news?""Yay!" All the female students cheered when they heard Lohawk's announcement, their laughter echoing throughout the entire lecture hall. Elize said, "Did I hear that right, Felicia? War Legate Draco abolished the rule that only men are allowed to participate in the selection. This means that women now have a chance to become the legate of Wyvern Peak!""This is exhilarating!"“War Legate Draco has created a place where men and women are treate
The noise from the lecture hall echoed through the hallways.Lohawk gestured for everyone to quiet down before she continued, "All right, everyone. After today, classes will be suspended as you will all be busy preparing for the selection. Now, the principal would like to say a few words, so please head to the gym in an orderly fashion.""Yes, ma'am!" Everyone lined up before heading to the gigantic gym. There were swarms of people inside, each team consisting of Azure Creek Military Academy students from various majors. Their ages ranged from nineteen to twenty-four. Some of them were even eighteen-year-old girls. In the future, many of them would be participating in the selection and one of them may become the next legate. Juno and the others arrived and saw Wyvern Peak soldiers in their battle suits guarding the gym. Meanwhile, Jeremy Faust, the principal of the academy, walked into the gym with a group of people in tow.The thousands of students stood to attention, silently
