Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 718 The Medical Sanctuary of the Extreme Starfield, a New Benchmark for the Agricultural World
Extreme Starfield, Loki Sector, Agricultural World Ryan.

Ivory Yovan left his clinic before the starlight illuminated him.

The "farmer" gazes at the mist-shrouded mountains before him, for today is a long farewell.

Ivors arrived at the foot of the mountain, at the edge of the pervasive mist of reproductive spores, and spoke to the three "cultivators" who were waiting.

“Let’s go.” His task for the day was to teach three “cultivators” how to manage this treasure trove of medicinal plants.

"The Cultivator" Ivors knelt down, his hand stroking the mandrakes growing on the root nodules, and he faintly heard screams in his mind.

Ivors, who had been a guest of honor to many nobles in the hive world of Agathon, knew that Mandrake could suppress warp erosion and alleviate the tinnitus and headaches of the Void crew.

In reality, ordinary crew members rarely get mandrake, even if they are on large transport ships with the hold filled with this plant.

The Navigator and Star Speaker families purchased large quantities of Mandrake, making it impossible for the five worlds' production to meet the needs of the Imperial nobles.

Of the five worlds, Lord Nimrod's territory, Triken IV, is one of the two worlds with the highest production.

However, the Triken IV's output was only provided to Lord Nimrod's allies, mainly the Navigator families such as Vysher.

There were other noble families, and Lord Barton Drake, who lent him a helping hand, would drink a cup of black tea mixed with mandrake leaves before falling asleep and after waking up each time on the Voidship.

After being recommended by Lord Barton and joining Lord Nimrod's forces, Ivors learned that in the world of the Limitless Starfield, where the Legion's think tank is located, mandrakes are also widely planted in the volcanic region, but only for the use of "Shadow of Order".

The "cultivator" spent much of his time in Ryan growing mandrake.

As the former chief medical officer of the "Solar Auxiliary Army," Ivors' scalpel could heal most injuries and illnesses, but long-term mental erosion in the warp was not among them.

The "farmer" pulled eight scalpels from his waist and held them between his fingers.

He swung his arm rapidly, his movements swift and precise, as if he were performing surgery on two injured people simultaneously with a scalpel.

Before the tender leaves faded, the three "cultivators" immediately stored them in the long crystal rollers of Crystal Illusion.

The "farmer" suddenly squatted down and said:

"The most common disease of mandrake is root nodule swelling. The geothermal environment in which they grow, with its high temperature and humidity, causes the roots to grow excessively."

"The early sign of root nodule swelling is that the roots protrude above the ground. The treatment is very simple: cut off these roots."

"The roots are more effective than the leaves and are supplied exclusively to members of the royal court."

Ivors slowly trimmed the irregular roots and carefully placed them into the crystal bottle.

He put the crystal bottle in his backpack, intending to present it to Lord Ninglu when he reported back.

Ivory Yovan climbed the mountain path, teaching three “cultivators” about various medicinal plants.

Finally, illuminated by the starlight, they reached the summit.

As soon as the four "cultivators" reached the summit, they instinctively followed their spiritual intuition and looked at the oak tree, which was over a hundred meters tall.

Its trunk is bright red, like a ruby.

Red and white oak leaves are interspersed, swaying in the wind.

Ivors gazed at the giant tree that took ten people to encircle and exclaimed in amazement.

"This tree was planted in 1920 when I first reached the summit. At that time, it was just a branch about an arm's length long and three fingers' diameter."

"When I planted him, I felt as if my body had been injected with the highest quality medicine, and my body and mind were in the best state."

“I think that is the sign of mastering the power bestowed by Lord Nimrod, and you will soon experience that feeling.”

Ivors approached the giant oak tree step by step and looked up at it.

"Over the course of eleven years, it has taken root here and grown at an extraordinary speed."

“It is the greatest treasure on this mountain, capable of curing almost any disease. I even suspect it is the legendary Tree of Life.” As he spoke, Ivors took out a crystal bottle and used a scalpel to cut open the trunk of the red oak tree. Thick white sap spilled out, and a refreshing fragrance filled the air.

The four "farmers" felt as if a life force was penetrating their pores.

The holes and wounds in the tree trunk quickly healed as the thick white sap flowed out, as if coated with a layer of crystal salt.

The four "farmers" were no longer tired and walked briskly down the mountain, greatly reducing their time.

Ivors Yovan turned back, gazing longingly at the mountains swarming with biological spores.

"This mountain is now in your hands."

“Yes, sir.” The three “farmers” respectfully replied.

Ivors strode toward the tarmac and saw Kerry, dressed in a black suit, waiting there.

"Jowan, thank you for your contributions to Ryan."

"The medical center you established has become the largest medical sanctuary in the Eastern Galaxy."

Kerry sincerely stated that Ivory Yovan's teaching of "doctors" extraordinary surgical skills enabled Ryan to surpass the rising Garden World of Ex in just eleven years, becoming the preferred medical sanctuary for the elites of the Eastern Galaxy.

“Kerry, you have made Ryan a new benchmark in the agricultural world. I have never seen an agricultural world like Ryan.”

“This is all thanks to Lord Nimrod,” said the druid Kerry modestly.

She inherited Lady Maria Scarlatan's Huntsman Suit, which increased her height to 1.85 meters.

Her rough, weathered skin became smooth and radiant during the ritual of transforming into an immortal.

After Ivory Yovan hugged Kerry goodbye, he boarded the black Skyhawk shuttle.

He settled into the spacious leather seat with practiced ease; he was no stranger to such comfortable aircraft.

The nobles of Agassón paid a high price to purchase it from Lord Nimromonda, a territory of Nimromonda.

Ivor often travels between the Nest Towers in the Skyhawk Shuttle to perform surgeries on the powerful and wealthy.

The black Skyhawk shuttle took off smoothly, and he leisurely looked through the observation window at the blue and white buildings below.

The comprehensive surgical center, covering an area of ​​3.6 million square meters, is another achievement he created.

Aves's mind flashed through the images of the apprentices he had taught: the apothecaries of "Shadow of Order," and numerous physicians.

Only when the silvery-white buildings disappeared and Ryan's fertile black soil came into view did he snap out of his reverie.

Ivors gazed at the fields stretching to the horizon, where high-yield crops swayed in the wind.

As the Skyhawk shuttle continued to ascend, the fruit trees were laden with smooth fruit, and the golden corn swayed incessantly.

Unlike the agricultural worlds he visited with the Sun Auxiliary Army expeditionary fleet, Ryan did not see transport ships carrying nitrates and phosphates falling from the sky, nor was the sky stained yellow by fertilizer factories.

Ryan relied on the psionic arrays that spanned the entire planet, as well as the power bestowed upon him by Lord Nimrod.

Ivors casually picked up a green berry, which had a lustrous, jade-like sheen.

The sharp tips pierce the jade-colored amniotic sac, and the top notes of lychee, moistened like morning dew, explode in the mouth.

The crisp, refreshing pear middle notes unfold like the tolling of bells, while the rich, fresh strawberry flavor rises in the base notes.

"It has a rich flavor and an exotic taste, no wonder the Terran elites spend a fortune on it."

Ivory Yovan popped each jadeberry into his mouth, savoring the unique flavor of Ryan's produce.

Jadeberry is the symbol of Ryan, the most renowned agricultural world in the Empire.
