In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar!

The two chatted for a while, and soon the guests arrived.

Wang Yan glanced at the other party and, unexpectedly, it was neither a scholar, nor a typical businessman or collector, but a rare gilded troupe.

She was also a member of a gilded girl group whom Wang Yan knew.

"Khalid, long time no see. This must be Mr. Wang Yan." Dixia, with her healthy-looking skin and dashing appearance, walked in from outside the shop, greeted Khalid, and then smiled at Wang Yan.

Khalid also came out from behind the counter: "This is Dixia, also from the prestigious gilded troupe of Sumeru. Wang Yan, if you ever need anything in the future, just ask her."

Then he nodded to Dixia: "This is Wang Yan, the translation scholar you booked."

Wang Yan also stood up and nodded to Dixia: "Blazing Lion, I've heard of your name."

Dixia scratched the back of her head: "Huh? Haha, am I that famous?"

"Of course, brave and powerful warrior, your deeds are already being told. If you don't believe me, ask Khalid." Wang Yan pointed to the boss next to him.

As a businessman, Khalid naturally knew how to speak: "That's right, that's right, Dixia, you're already a big shot."

Then came another round of praise, which made Dixia wave her hands repeatedly, saying, "Stop talking, stop talking, you're making me embarrassed."

She quickly changed the subject, took out a photograph, and handed it to Wang Yan: "Mr. Wang Yan, could you please take a look? Can this be translated?"

Using photographs for translation is very common.

After all, many ancient texts are either engraved on stone tablets or left on tattered scrolls, so they are not easy to carry around.

In situations like this, a phonograph machine is very useful.

Taking a photo and then using it for translation is the most suitable approach.

Wang Yan reached out and took the photo, his gaze falling down to it.

The photograph shows neither a typical inscription nor a tattered scroll, but a person.

However, strange patterns and symbols appeared on this person's skin, which looked quite frightening.

Khalid glanced at it from the side, his face turned pale, and he quickly looked away.

[Proficient in languages] To initiate.

The symbols began to be slowly interpreted.

This indicates that the symbols are a type of extraordinary runes, not writing.

Regarding language and writing, regardless of whether one possesses extraordinary powers, those with "language proficiency" can quickly analyze them.

However, for runes containing extraordinary power, such as elemental runes, the speed of interpretation by [Language Proficiency] becomes extremely slow.

This is also a pattern that Wang Yan discovered.

However, Wang Yan didn't understand how to distinguish between these characters and runes.

After a while.

Wang Yan frowned slightly and looked up at Dixia: "This is... Inazuma's talisman?"

Dixia's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, this guy went to Inazuma, and fell ill after he came back, and then these strange runes appeared on his body."

"The doctor at Health House said that in order to treat this, we must first understand what the incantation means; otherwise, we may end up making things worse."

As she spoke, Dixia gave a wry smile and pleaded, "Although this guy isn't a member of 'Blazing Beast Hunter,' we've worked together before, and he's a good person. Mr. Wang Yan, please help me out."

Although she was paid to translate, Dixia still maintained a very humble attitude.

She knows exactly how to ask for a favor, instead of having an attitude of "I've paid you, so you have to do a good job."

Wang Yan didn't care about these details. He turned his gaze back to the photo and said, "The photo is incomplete; it only shows part of the incantation. The effect of this part of the incantation is to carry a certain power."

After a pause, Wang Yan looked at Dixia: "I need to see her in person to be able to translate completely."

Dixia immediately understood and looked at Khalid.

Khalid nodded: "Then you can go ahead, I'll stay at the shop."

Dixia gave him a grateful look, then said to Wang Yan, "Mr. Wang Yan, let's go to the Health House now."

"Okay." Wang Yan stood up and returned the photo to the other person. "Please lead the way, Dixia."

...

The House of Health is actually the hospital in Sumeru, similar to the Bubu Lodge in Liyue.

However, compared to Bubulu, Health Home is more systematic.

It is a medical system controlled by the biotheory faction and is theoretically an official institution.

During the period of scaly disease, even when facing a terminal illness, the Health House continued to work hard to save lives.

Today, it is the mainstay of medical care in the entire Xumi region.

By the time Dixia brought Wang Yan to the Health Home, she had already explained the situation to him.

The problem arose from a lone, gilded troupe that had taken on a mission to Inazuma. After returning, they started acting strangely and eventually fell into a complete coma.

Dixia happened to be nearby and took the person to the "Health Home".

After the person was sent to the health center, Dr. Zakaria diagnosed him with some kind of supernatural curse.

Of course, doctors who believe in the theory of life have also encountered curses before.

Zakaria told Dixia that as long as he could figure out the details of the curse, he was confident he could find a solution and resolve the problem.

Then he recommended Wang Yan, who had recently gained fame in Sumeru City, to Dixia.

"Dr. Zakaria, I've brought the person over," Dixia called out as she led Wang Yan into the Health Center.

Compared to the simple thatched hut and a few bedding in the game, the real-life health center is much larger, with quite a few patients coming and going.

As soon as Wang Yan entered the room, he smelled a strong medicinal smell, as well as a hint of blood.

Upon hearing Dixia's shout, a middle-aged man wearing a laurel wreath stepped forward, his gaze falling upon Wang Yan.

Laureate Scholar… Wang Yan’s eyes narrowed. This Dr. Zakaria was a [Hebantu].

"Alright, alright, stop yelling and come with me." Zakaria waved his hand, then called out to the other side, "Gorsan, change the dressing for bed number four. Tamara, bed number nine is almost done, tell him to leave quickly and not occupy the bed."

Not far away, two female scholars immediately replied, "Yes, Dr. Zakaria."

Zakaria didn't reply, but waved to Wang Yan and Dixia before turning and walking towards the back ward.

The two quickly followed.

Upon entering a secluded ward, Wang Yan saw the person in the photograph.

He had lost consciousness and was convulsing violently, looking quite miserable.

"The spells on his body are draining his life force. I used some methods from different schools of thought to stop the loss of life force, but it wasn't without its side effects," Zakaria said casually.

Compared to dying from the loss of vitality, convulsions seem a bit more acceptable.

Zakaria looked at Wang Yan: "To save him, I need to first figure out the meaning of every spell on his body, and then analyze where to start."

Cleansing the spell isn't difficult; the challenge lies in knowing where to start and avoiding a chain reaction.

Wang Yan looked at the patient, his eyes flashing slightly, then nodded: "Leave it to me. This is Inazuma's Yin-Yang technique, fused with a bit of Liyue's Celestial Arts..."

Zakaria showed a hint of curiosity: "Inazuma's Yin-Yang magic? Liyue's Celestial magic? Hmm, those are both remarkable topics."

As he spoke, he shook his head again: "No wonder I couldn't understand it; I'm a proponent of the theory of life."

Scholars from the schools of thought on knowledge or on the principles of existence might be able to conduct in-depth research.

Wang Yan did not reply, continuing to look at the patient on the hospital bed.

With the blessing of [Language Proficiency], the incantations on the other party were gradually understood by Wang Yan.
