I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

"Add a few more people to this list, and change a few wordings, here, here..." Grover took a pen and started making changes directly on it before continuing, "The purpose of this letter is to clear Charlotte of suspicion, while also confusing Cromwell, so that he doesn't know where the real people who arrested Capas are, or who did it. The more confused he is, the easier it is for him to make a foolish move and expose his weaknesses."

"We've been fighting Cromwell openly and covertly for so many years, but this is the biggest upheaval yet. Charlotte, an outsider, disrupted Horace's years of preparations with two lists. Although the last list didn't bring him down, the King still used it to give Cromwell a good beating."

"If we can ride this wave and combine it with this list, we might actually be able to stab Cromwell in the back and bleed him dry, or even bring him down directly."

Maria's eyes widened in surprise: "That list is that important?"

"It seems you haven't studied that list properly," Grover smiled slightly. "The Colbert and York families on that list are both powerful families guarding important towns in the Northwest, wielding considerable military power. The Omar family has always been responsible for forging weapons, serving the Imperial army. The Bernsch family's territory is fertile black soil, producing abundant grain, and they earn a substantial income every year from selling grain... What do you think Cromwell is trying to achieve by befriending these nobles and forming alliances with them?"

Maria's mouth gaped slightly, and she exclaimed in shock, "He wants to rebel?!"

Cromwell's longevity is due not only to his strong foundation built over many years, but also to the fact that His Majesty the King did not truly intend to eliminate him, but rather allowed him to do certain things.

Cromwell's list of associates shows that he is no longer satisfied with being a duke, but wants to be the king of the Los Empire, which infringes on His Majesty the King's fundamental interests.

Therefore, His Majesty the King will surely take action against him this time.

"The king is not old, but he is quite shrewd. Over the years, Cromwell has seemed to be in complete control and domineering, but the king has actually been accumulating power and is now able to contend with Cromwell."

Cromwell was naturally aware of this, which is why he was in a hurry to form an alliance. Judging from this list, he had already done quite well, even having his men in the capital's defenses. Yet, we know very little about this.

"If Charlotte hadn't unexpectedly obtained this list, the Naros Empire would have faced annihilation once Cromwell accumulated enough power." Grover's expression was also quite solemn.

"Charlotte has done a great service, it's a pity we can't report his name to His Majesty the King, otherwise he would certainly have received a reward," Maria said with a smile.

"Who says it can't? When Cromwell falls, we'll naturally reward those who have contributed. I've remembered Charlotte's contribution; she'll definitely get her due," Grover said with a smile.

"Charlotte is too kind-hearted. He cares deeply about Vivian's affairs and has even taken many great risks. This may become his weakness," Maria said with some emotion.

Grover shook his head: "Kindness is not a weakness, but armor. Besides, Charlotte isn't the kind of person who's kind without any bottom line. She's quite shrewd and capable in her dealings with people, and she's both brave and resourceful. For example, when she was ambushed by Capas, she killed Bill but didn't rush to kill the mastermind Capas. Instead, she captured him alive and used him as a bargaining chip to exchange for Vivian's mother. Such a character is rare among young people."

Maria nodded and said, "You're right. This isn't the first time Capas has tried to kill him. The fact that he can capture him without killing him shows a truly remarkable character."

"This young man has had many extraordinary experiences and possesses such a temperament; he will definitely become a prominent figure in the future. Befriending him will bring you many benefits." Grover looked at Maria and sighed again, "Unfortunately, Elizabeth is also at the height of her power right now."

"Grandpa, what are you thinking about!" Maria guessed Grover's thoughts and couldn't help but scold him angrily.

……

ducal mansion.

"Still no news from Kalva?" Cromwell asked in a deep voice, looking at the guards who had come to see him off.

"Your Excellency, the Baron and his entourage still haven't returned home. However, we received some news today. It's said that the city guards saw the Baron and his party leave the city this morning, heading towards the wilderness. Several adventurers also corroborated this, saying they saw a noble young man leading a group of black-armored guards into the wilderness, supposedly to hunt some magical beast." The guard bowed and said, "Could it be that the Baron encountered something in the wilderness?"

"He went into the wilderness? Capas isn't the kind of person who enjoys adventure. With Bill by his side, the ordinary magical beasts on the outskirts can't pose a threat to him. Bill certainly wouldn't let him venture into dangerous territory." Cromwell frowned, and after a while, asked again, "What was Charlotte doing that day? Have you checked?"

"It's been checked. Charlotte rode a griffin to Calva that day to attend the opening ceremony of the potion trading center he co-founded. Afterwards, he returned to his ancestral home with Elizabeth. In the afternoon, he visited the Yiwei Farm in the west of the city with a friend. Later, he escorted his sea creature friend out of the city through the east gate into the sea. Many people witnessed his griffin. After seeing his friend off, he re-entered the city through the east gate and returned directly to his ancestral home, not leaving until the next morning to return to the Abyss," the guard said. "His time and movements don't overlap with the Baron's at all; he had no opportunity to commit the crime."

Cromwell nodded: "In that case, he certainly didn't have the opportunity to commit the crime."

"Go to the Karva Adventurers' Guild and post a bounty of ten million copper coins, sending adventurers into the wilderness to find him. We need to find him alive or dead," Cromwell said in a deep voice.

  

"Yes!" the guard replied and quickly left.

……

After a busy day, the clinic closed for the day.

Today's patient count reached 1012, including 12 emergency patients.

"How was your first day seeing patients?" Charlotte asked Hattie and Kathleen on the way home.

"I was a little nervous, but it felt easier than I expected. As long as I was careful and my hands were steady, there wouldn't be any problems," Hattie said.

"I think I need to do some more physical training. Today, when I was stitching up an orc uncle, I couldn't pierce his skin and almost had to use a hammer," Kathleen said, covering her face.

"A hammer is a good thing; I needed to borrow one for a while," Charlotte laughed. "However, that could easily lead to a medical accident."

Hattie and Kathleen have started seeing patients. Although they are only assisting in Myron's operating room and treating some patients with minor injuries, with their talent, it won't be long before they are able to see patients on their own.

On the way back, Kasha reported the day's business to him.

The clinic treated 1012 patients and collected a total of 864320 copper coins in fees, increasing the average transaction value to over 80 copper coins.

Patients who come from Kalva, known for their expertise, generally have more complex conditions, which increases the price per case.

Potion sales declined slightly today, but still reached 2845200 copper coins.

It's not that sales are slow, but rather that insufficient production capacity has led to insufficient inventory, and many customers have not been able to buy the medicine they want.

This situation is expected to continue for some time. The potion workshop is under construction and the refining furnace is in operation. In addition, another batch of workers needs to be recruited. He decided to contact Diana directly for this matter, as the people she found were reliable and useful.

After dinner, Charlotte received a message from Constantine. She went downstairs, picked up Evelyn, who was snuggling in Kasha's arms and secretly eating dried fish, and also took Anna with her. She said goodbye to Vivian and the others and then went out.

"Where are we going?" Evelyn asked vaguely, a small dried fish still dangling from her mouth, afraid Anna would notice.

"Let's go see Senior Constantine. We'll need your help again today." Charlotte fed Anna a small dried fish, which transformed into a griffin. She then jumped onto it with Evelyn and soared upwards.

"Are we going to corrupt another batch of mages? That's tiring work," Evelyn said in a childish voice, looking unwilling.

"I'll make you a midnight snack when I get back after I'm done with work tonight," Charlotte said.

"Really?" Evelyn's eyes lit up, and she asked, "What are we eating? Do you have chicken legs?"

"If you want some, we have roasted chicken legs, three of them," Charlotte said with a smile.

Five.

"make a deal."

See, the little devil is so easy to fool; he can be bribed with just five chicken legs.

Constantine's agreed meeting place was in a rocky valley on the outskirts of the wilderness. As night fell, few adventurers roamed the wilderness, making it a suitable place to do something secret.

The demonic transformation was quite a commotion; getting too close to Kalva would easily attract attention.

It must be said that the wilderness at night is indeed a bit scary. All sorts of strange insect and beast cries come from all directions, and there are also rustling sounds coming from below, as if something is sliding down the leaves.

Fortunately, they were riding on the back of a griffin, flying high in the sky, and with Anna's aura suppressing them, they arrived at the agreed location without any trouble, a towering mound of chaos.

"This way." A familiar voice rang out, and Charlotte saw the man standing on the rock, shimmering with golden light.

Anna flew over and landed on the boulder.

Charlotte jumped down, carrying Evelyn.

"Is this little guy your white cat?" Constantine looked at Anna, also marveling. "Last time I told Benjamin that your cat was unusual, but I never expected it to be an ice crystal griffin."

"It was Benjamin who gave me the materials and broke its seal," Charlotte said with a smile. As expected of a big shot, she could see Anna's extraordinary nature at a glance.

"You've broken through again?" Constantine's gaze fell on Charlotte, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"I was lucky; I just broke through a couple of days ago." Charlotte nodded.

"This isn't just talent, this is ultimate talent." Constantine looked at Charlotte in disbelief, and after a long while, he said, "The Judge's judgment is truly excellent, choosing you to inherit his mantle."

He had watched Charlotte grow up firsthand, so he knew very well just how terrifying her talent was.

"I also heard that you were exonerated and removed from Kalva's expulsion list," Constantine added.

"I have to thank you and Benjamin for this matter. It is thanks to you that I was able to clear my name," Charlotte said gratefully.

"This is all your own doing. You were wronged in the first place. Besides, Anderson needed your help because of the nettles, and you were the one who found them." Constantine shook his head with a smile.

"Aren't you going to work? I need to go back for a late-night snack after I finish work," Evelyn reminded her in her childish voice.

The two of them couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"The person is down there, but Evelyn, how many mages can you corrupt in one night? They're all level seven or eight mages," Constantine asked, looking at Evelyn.

"I don't know either," Evelyn shook her head.

"Let's give it a try. Last time we corrupted twelve people, so let's start with twelve this time too," Charlotte suggested.

"Okay, let's do it this way." Constantine nodded.

The three of them climbed down from the boulder, behind which was a flat area where two campfires were lit.

The surroundings were quiet; the magical beasts must have sensed the terrifying aura here and fled long ago.

Charlotte sized up the magicians. They all bore the marks of long-term shackles, and many looked somewhat mentally confused. They appeared to be dark magicians newly recruited by Constantine.

They were placed under a magical spell and guarded by two dragons.

"I told you what I was going to do tonight before I came here. Now cooperate obediently. After this is over, I will destroy your magical essence and give you your freedom," Constantine said to the group of dark mages.

The crowd nodded slightly, indicating their agreement with his words.

"We're going to let this little brat teach us dark magic?" One of the dark magicians looked at Evelyn with an absurd smile.

The other dark magicians also laughed, finding the whole thing rather absurd.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's just attack all at once. Ten or a hundred will both only cast it once." Evelyn looked at the group of dark mages, hands on her hips, and declared with considerable arrogance, "I'm not a little brat, I'm Evelyn! Older than all of you!"

Constantine glanced at Charlotte.

Charlotte nodded slightly. Since Evelyn said so, she must be quite confident.

Constantine, seeing this, asked no further questions and waved for the two dragons to step aside.

"Uncle, give me the Necronomicon." Evelyn turned to look at Charlotte.

Charlotte hesitated for a moment before handing the Necronomicon to Evelyn from her spatial ring.

After Evelyn received the Necronomicon, her aura seemed to change, and a golden light appeared in her eyes.

The black magicians' discussions gradually subsided, and their gazes toward Evelyn held a hint of surprise and doubt, as if they were looking at a giant beast slowly awakening, and even a touch of fear.

Evelyn closed her eyes and raised the Necronomicon in her hand.

The sky and earth instantly changed color, and a blood-red vortex appeared above the stone forest, enveloping hundreds of dark mages, and a terrifying aura pressed down on them.

Pfft!Pfft!

The dark mages were so shocked that they all knelt down, staring in terror at the vortex in the sky. Their eyes reflected blood, and they knelt there blankly, as if they were seeing an extremely terrifying scene. Their bodies trembled slightly, and some even lost control of their bladders.

"Evelyn seems to have become even more powerful after obtaining the Necronomicon. Her demonic transformation is much stronger than before; she was holding back," Constantine said softly to Charlotte, his expression slightly grim as he watched this scene.

Charlotte nodded. He knew Constantine's concerns. After all, Evelyn and the Necronomicon had an unknown origin, and the magic of demonization was also highly suspicious. It was inevitable that he would be more suspicious of Evelyn.

Even Charlotte didn't dare to fully trust Evelyn, because some things were too mysterious, and she didn't dare to make a judgment before she understood them.

Ten minutes later, Evelyn opened her eyes and lowered the Necronomicon she had been holding high.

The crimson vortex in the sky gradually dissipated, and the dark mages gradually regained their senses. More than ten of them lay on the ground, already dead.

The way everyone looked at Evelyn now was no longer mocking, but rather filled with awe and fear.

It was a fear that originated from the depths of their souls. In her azure eyes, they seemed to see the most terrifying scenes, which were deeply etched into their souls.

"It seems we've finished." Constantine looked at the remaining eighty-odd dark mages, a smile also appearing on his face.

He originally thought that with such a large number of people involved, it would take two or three days to complete.

"Well done, Evelyn." Charlotte smiled and stepped forward, picking Evelyn up and putting away the Necronomicon.

"Then, shall we go back and have some roasted chicken legs?" Evelyn was still full of energy, looking at Charlotte with anticipation.

"Okay, we'll catch a few pheasants on the way back and roast them when we get home," Charlotte nodded.

"Time is of the essence, so I'll take them with me. There are still many tasks waiting for them," Constantine said, looking at Charlotte.

"Okay, take care." Charlotte smiled and nodded.

"Evelyn, thank you for your help. This is your reward." Constantine took out a sapphire the size of a pigeon's egg and handed it to Evelyn.

"This stone is so beautiful!" Evelyn's eyes lit up as she held the sapphire in her hand, admiring it, then smiled and said, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Constantine transformed into a golden dragon, coiled up the remaining dark mages, and then breathed flames that burned the dead dark mages to ashes.

These guys are all vicious and ruthless. They are black magicians who have cultivated to the seventh or eighth level. Their hands are stained with the blood of evil, so they are not so lenient when dealing with them.

Charlotte, carrying Evelyn, got into Anna's car and left the place.

On the way, Charlotte caught three level-one magical beasts, the Emerald Feathered Pheasants. These were the most powerful pheasants, each weighing over thirty pounds.

Because Evelyn did the job so well and efficiently, they got home quite early.

Kasha and Lina were chatting in the living room, Hattie and the others had already gone back to their dorm to practice sewing and cutting, Ino and the others hadn't finished get off work yet, and Vivian hadn't finished school either.
