I opened a clinic in the Abyss World
Chapter 222 The Night Before the Red Moon
At first, Martha was resistant to the look of the pink dress.
She is the little princess of the Lion Tribe, born a lion, the absolute queen of the grasslands.
At one year old, she could catch the fastest deer on the grassland; at two years old, she could pin a rhinoceros to the ground; and at three years old, she dared to go hunting with the tribe's hunting team to hunt magical beasts.
pink?
That's a color that would never appear on the king of the grasslands.
"Wow, what a pretty little dress! Come on, Martha, try it on! You'll look super cute in it!" Vivian pulled Martha upstairs.
"No, I can't wear this dress."
"I am Masha of the Lion Tribe!"
"I jumped from the building..."
Three minutes later, Martha was brought downstairs by Vivian, and she had changed into a pink Lolita dress.
Martha's golden hair was styled into twin ponytails, with pink animal ears peeking out from her hair. Paired with her cute and flawless face, she was already petite, but wearing an exceptionally pink Lolita dress made her snow-white skin look even more delicate and adorable!
"So cute," Kasha couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's really nice, and it fits perfectly." Charlotte nodded, feeling that Martha seemed to be suppressed after wearing the dress, and even her smile became more shy and bashful, unlike the wildness she had when she wore the black cloak before.
"Meow?" Kuroko approached Martha, looked up at her, and showed a hint of human-like confusion in his eyes. He then pushed off with his hind legs and was about to jump into Martha's arms.
"Hey! Kuroko, don't ruin my new dress." Martha grabbed Kuroko by the throat with a grappling move.
A girl dressed in pink Lolita fashion, clutching the hem of her skirt to reveal her slender ankles, grabbed a black kitten by the neck with one hand, her expression furious. The scene didn't look very elegant.
However, it also has a cute and endearing contrast.
But when did Kuroko start meowing like a cat?
Isn't it a majestic lion?
Charlotte glanced up at Anna, who was fast asleep, perched on top of the counter, and roughly understood.
Kuroko probably started meowing like a cat to please Anna.
"Should I venture into the wilderness again today?"
After dinner, Martha looked at Charlotte and asked.
"No, you should stay home. The Red Moon is coming, and things aren't safe outside. If you run into that necromancer again, you might not be able to escape." Charlotte shook her head.
"The outskirts of the wilderness are indeed very dangerous. I stayed deep in the wilderness for a year and never encountered a necromancer." Martha stuck out her tongue.
Charlotte remained silent, but Martha, who was able to avoid attacks from magical beasts, found the depths of the wilderness, which ordinary people dared not venture into, to be much safer than the outer areas.
"Undead mages probably won't dare to come out on the night of the red moon. Tomorrow night, I need you to collect some blood from the mutated monsters so I can make potions for Kasha."
"No problem, I'll take Blackie to devour some undead too." Martha nodded, accepting Charlotte's request.
Vivian has already gone out; she was taken away by Adolf.
It is said that he built a spacious magic room on the south side of the abyss specifically to teach Vivian.
After class in the evening, I will bring Vivian back, so there is absolutely no need to worry about her safety.
Nothing happened that night.
The number of patients visiting the clinic today has decreased significantly, and there are very few customers buying medicine. It is because the area around the Red Moon night becomes dangerous and turbulent in the surrounding wilderness, and most adventurers choose not to enter the wilderness. These are the clinic's fixed off-peak days each month.
As usual, every household began to reinforce their houses, including the bakery next door, which boarded up their windows with thick wooden planks.
In fact, the entrance to the abyss has already been reinforced with a fourth-level magical shield. If the monster that breaks in is stronger than level four, then any reinforcement will be ineffective and will only give you some psychological comfort.
"Last time, half of Towa Street next door was eaten up. I wonder what will happen tonight," said the bald owner of the bookstore next door, looking worried as he reinforced the doors and windows.
Heidi sat at the table behind him, holding a paintbrush in one hand and bread in the other, her mouth stuffed full. She mumbled, "If we're going by the order, it should be our street's turn today, right?"
"Thump!"
A book flew by and hit her on the head.
"Ouch, that hurts." Heidi nodded, looking at her father with a wronged expression.
"Can't you say something auspicious?" the bald man said angrily.
"Hehe, I was just kidding." Heidi shrugged and took another bite of bread. "But Father, you don't need to worry. The bakery next door smells much better than ours. Mrs. Bella is probably more scared than you are."
"I heard that the three major families have set up a magical protective shield at the entrance, but I don't know if it will work. Remember, if anything really comes in tonight, run to the clinic next door immediately. Dr. Charlotte is a good person and won't leave someone to die." The bald boss looked at Heidi and said solemnly.
"This isn't really a good idea..." Heidi hesitated. "Although he is indeed a tough guy, I do have social anxiety."
The bald boss rolled his eyes: "Then you stay behind to cover the rear, your dad's on the run."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll pull you along. We'll jump from the second floor to his yard. It'll be quick and easy," Heidi said with a smile.
The bald boss's expression softened a bit, but he quickly resumed his grumbling: "I'm not trying to be mean, but you're already eighteen this year, and you're still holed up at home every day. Over the years, people have forgotten I even have a daughter. I'm too ashamed to even mention it. Are you really planning to stay upstairs forever and never see anyone? What will you do if I die?"
"I'm so happy when I'm away from everyone. I'm so happy every day. I don't have a man to serve me, no children to discipline. I read books, draw picture books, and sleep when I'm tired. I'm carefree every day. Is there anyone happier than me on this street?" Heidi said with a smile. "Father, can you really bear to force me to lose this simple happiness?"
The bald boss was speechless and silently reinforced the window with another layer of reinforcement.
……
Charlotte sent all ten Gold-Eating Rats to the seaside platform outside the workshop. She modified the area five meters inside the cave exit to create two platforms, one inside and one outside.
The experiment will be conducted here tonight.
In addition to dissecting two groups of gold-eating rats to examine the effects of demonization on the monsters' bodies and try to find the mechanism of demonization, he also plans to test whether demonized monsters will break free from their demonized state after consuming nettle grass, and whether demonized monsters will still be afraid of nettle grass.
Ten custom-made cages contain ten gold-eating rats.
The two cages were left untreated and placed at the very back of the cave, ensuring they wouldn't be exposed to the red moonlight, serving as a control group.
The other eight cages are lined up on the outer platform, each with a label hanging on it. They protrude outwards so that the red moon can shine on them immediately after it rises.
According to Martha's observation, the Gold-Eating Rat will inevitably enter a demonic state on the night of the Red Moon if it is exposed to the Red Moon.
Charlotte took out two bottles of green nettle extract and fed them to the gold-eating rats in cages 1 and 2. After taking the extract, the two gold-eating rats did not show any abnormal reactions.
Then Charlotte put on thick animal skin gloves, picked up the gold-eating rats from cages 3 and 4, threw them into a box full of nettles, and carefully shook it to ensure that the surface of the gold-eating rats was evenly covered with fine thorns, simulating the scene of Martha rolling around in a valley full of nettles.
Squeak!
After the two gold-eating rats were put back into their cage, they began scratching their ears and cheeks, banging on the cage loudly, appearing very excited.
This is a preventative measure. If the two Gold-Eating Rats still enter a demonic state after the Red Moon appears, then we'll roll them around again to see if the acupuncture is more effective than direct consumption.
The cages of the No. 5 and No. 6 Gold-Eating Rats were covered with thick nettles on all four sides and the top. These two Gold-Eating Rats were used to test whether the Gold-Eating Rats, after being demonized and losing their minds, would still be afraid of nettles.
Of course, this test result cannot prove that nettle can effectively defend against the horde of demonic beasts, after all, the sample size is too small, and the gold-eating rat is too weak.
The gold-eating rats in cages 7 and 8 will not be treated in any way. These two are for dissection. Once they enter the demonized state, they can be dissected.
After doing all this, Charlotte returned to the potion workshop, planning to come back when it was getting dark.
"It's the night of the Red Moon tonight, so we won't be working today. After dark, close the workshop doors, stay in your rooms and don't go out or turn on any lights," Charlotte instructed the Jacob family and the Kerry father and son.
Guy's blacksmith shop is also closed today, so Abu is staying in the workshop as well.
"Boss, will any monsters enter the abyss?" Jacob asked with some concern.
Compared to the thick, tall walls of Kalva and the sense of security provided by the two giant lamps to the east and west, the Abyss is unlikely to offer much of a sense of security.
"I can't guarantee that no magical beasts will enter the Abyss. Quite a few entered last time. However, the magical protective shield at the entrance to the Abyss has been built, and the Abyss Guard is guarding the front line, so it should be better than last time," Charlotte said frankly. "Compared to other places, the potion workshop is covered by a level four magical protective shield, making it one of the safer places in the Abyss."
"That's right, right now every household in the Abyss is busy reinforcing their doors and windows with wooden planks and iron plates. Those things can't withstand the impact of magical beasts, while we can hide behind magical protective shields." Kerry also said with a smile, "This should be the most peaceful red moon night I've ever spent in the Abyss."
Upon hearing this, Jacob and his wife were somewhat relieved.
Charlotte drove back to the clinic and parked the carriage outside.
"Boss, my master has invited all of us to visit Calva. Shall we go?" Vivian greeted Charlotte as soon as he entered the room and asked.
"today?"
"Yes, he said the Abyss is not safe, and it's safer to go to Calva on the night of the Red Moon." Vivian nodded.
"Not today. I've already promised the landlady that the clinic will be open tonight to treat the injured fox guards." Charlotte shook her head, then looked at Kasha and Martha behind her. "Why don't you take Kasha, Martha, and Anna with you? Calva is definitely safer."
She is the little princess of the Lion Tribe, born a lion, the absolute queen of the grasslands.
At one year old, she could catch the fastest deer on the grassland; at two years old, she could pin a rhinoceros to the ground; and at three years old, she dared to go hunting with the tribe's hunting team to hunt magical beasts.
