I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

"Wake up, we need to get to work." Charlotte carried Evelyn upstairs and then shook her awake.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping at this hour?" Evelyn muttered, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Didn't we say at noon that we should erase Capas's memories and turn him into an idiot?" Charlotte said.

"Oh." Evelyn nodded, then yawned and said, "Does it have to be at night? I'm so sleepy."

"We're already being watched. It's too crowded and inconvenient to move around during the day. It'll be easier at night," Charlotte said. "You can just sneak out from behind and wait for me on the street."

"Okay," Evelyn agreed, then vanished into thin air.

Charlotte turned on the room light, then opened the window and stood at the window for three seconds before closing it again. She then used a flash of inspiration to leave the room and appeared on a rooftop 250 meters away the next second. Her figure was only briefly visible before disappearing again.

Charlotte and Evelyn meet on the street, then disappear into the night and mist on their way to the apothecary workshop.

"I just saw that guy. He probably can't beat you. Why didn't you take care of him?" Evelyn asked, sitting on Charlotte's shoulders, puzzled.

"Killing him would be easy, but it would inevitably attract an even stronger enemy. Since he doesn't intend to attack us, let's keep this one we can control for now, so we can deal with someone we can't handle later," Charlotte explained casually.

"I see." Evelyn rested her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought. "Could they possibly send a god-level expert?"

"So you now think that if the two of us team up, we can easily defeat a Saint-level being?" Charlotte couldn't help but laugh.

"You don't think it's okay?" Evelyn asked back.

"It should be ready in another half month." Charlotte quickened her pace, transforming into a blur as she traversed the abyss, and soon arrived in front of the potion workshop.

He glanced at Amos standing in front of the potion workshop, then slipped into the secret room on the second floor of the workshop.

Charlotte turned on the flashlight and placed it on the table next to her, illuminating the secret room.

Capas huddled weakly in the corner, the glaring light making him uncomfortable. He instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes, peering at Charlotte through his fingers, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "Charlotte, you can ask my father for anything you want. He's the most powerful man in the Los Empire. He'll give you anything you want, as long as you let me go. You can have anything you want."

"Anything you want?" Charlotte looked at him with a half-smile. "Actually, what I want most is your life."

Kapas's face paled, and his voice grew increasingly terrified: "I am cursed by a god-level mage. If you kill me, the curse will attach itself to you, and my father will definitely find you. So you can't kill me. If you just let me go, I will absolutely not pursue this matter, and I will absolutely never set foot in Kalva or the Abyss again."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, you do have a good father, and he has already prepared the ransom for you," Charlotte said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Capas breathed a slight sigh of relief and lowered his hand from his eyes. "It seems you've already made a deal with my father. Now, can you release me?"

"Don't rush, it's not your time to leave today. I'll send you away from the abyss tomorrow." Charlotte shook her head. "But before that, I need to take something from you."

Looking at Charlotte's smile, Capas suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively shrank back. He was only wearing shorts. "You... what are you going to take?"

"Brains," Charlotte smiled. "Just a little bit will do."

"Brain!" Capas exclaimed in shock. Was that something that could be taken away so easily?! Not even a little bit!

"Don't be afraid, I only need a little bit, otherwise how can I let you go back with peace of mind?" Charlotte waved to Evelyn.

Evelyn immediately stepped forward with a golden iron spoon, smiling, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll only dig out a little bit."

"Don't come any closer!" Capas was so frightened that he scrambled on the ground, trying to get away from Evelyn.

Evelyn stepped forward, kicked the weakened Capas to the ground, pressed his head down with one hand, and with the other hand, she grabbed a spoon and stabbed it hard into his head.

what--

  

Capas let out a scream.

The scene of bloodshed and brains splattering that I had envisioned did not occur.

The spoon pierced through his head, as if it had gone straight into his brain.

Capas paused for a moment, then let out an even sharper scream as Evelyn stirred her brain.

Charlotte stood by and watched, her eyes showing little pity.

Kapas was no good; he tried to kill him time and again, and the evil he had committed in the past was countless.

He orchestrated the death of Vivian's father and relentlessly pursued her to the abyss, nearly driving her to her death several times.

If he weren't still worth trading, he would have killed him long ago.

"Found it!" Evelyn exclaimed suddenly, pulling the spoon out and scooping out a small spoonful of brains.

what--

Kapas screamed and immediately fainted.

"What is this?" Charlotte frowned as she looked at the still-pulsating brain in the spoon. "I told you to erase his memory, so why did you dig out his brain? You can't trade it if he's dead."

"This is the part of his brain that records his most recent memories. I'll remove this part of his brain, and his memories will be erased as well," Evelyn said.

Charlotte: ...

This is a purely physical elimination method; there's absolutely no way to restore it afterwards.

"Besides, didn't you want him to go blind in the future? I just dug his brain out and stuffed a piece of bread inside. His brain will break down in ten days or half a month, and then he'll become an idiot," Evelyn added.

Charlotte nodded in agreement; it was indeed a brilliant idea that killed two birds with one stone.

"Where did you learn this strange method?" Charlotte asked Evelyn with curiosity.

"I learned this from the Necronomicon. There are even more torturous methods out there. Do you want to try them?" Evelyn asked him.

"There's no need for that." Charlotte refused righteously, then squatted down to check on Capas's condition. His vital signs were indeed normal, which reassured her somewhat.

They put a burlap sack over his head, then covered the sack with a soundproof sheet to ensure he couldn't hear any outside noise. They tied the sack shut and tossed him into a corner.

After settling everything, Charlotte took Evelyn home.

With Capas's memories erased and Maria acting as an inside man, there shouldn't be any problems with exchanging Vivian's mother.

The fact that Capas became an idiot must have been more painful for Cromwell than killing him.

Raising a mentally challenged son must be a terrible experience.

After taking a bath and lying in bed, Charlotte received a message from the Night's Watch: tomorrow he would bring another group of magicians to him for enchantment, the number of whom would still be three hundred.

This time, the mages come from various orc races, and these mages will prioritize the demonization of small and medium-sized orc tribes.

Charlotte still chose the small island as the meeting place, which was more convenient than going into the wilderness.

The next morning, everyone gathered at the door. Because there were too many people and the griffins couldn't fit them all, Charlotte arranged for three carriages to take everyone to Calva.

Everyone was quite excited along the way.

They haven't had a break lately because of the busy work at the clinic, so this is a rare opportunity to go to Calva on their day off.

The carriage emerged from the abyss, revealing blue skies, white clouds, and fresh air. The passengers drew back the curtains and opened the doors, all greedily savoring the moment.

Living in the abyss for a long time can indeed make one feel somewhat gloomy, but everyone is usually too busy to think about these things.

As they stretched out their hands and felt the warmth of the sunlight on them, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

"If you have time in the future, you should go out more often. I feel that staying in the abyss for too long will ruin you," Myron said.

"You're right, I also think it's so comfortable to come out and sunbathe," Amilo nodded.

"Look, nettle forests have sprung up outside the city of Calva."

"Yes, it extends all the way into the abyss, leaving only a narrow path. It's completely different from when we first arrived."

"Although the sting will keep me numb for a long time, I feel much safer now that the nettle forest has been planted."

Looking at the endless nettle forests outside Karva City, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Charlotte has been frequently venturing into the Abyss lately, and it's fair to say she's watched the nettle forest expand continuously.

Anderson took his advice and is working to build a nettle defense system specifically for Kalva.

Charlotte spotted elves among the busy plant mages. It seemed Anderson had successfully hired a group of plant mages from the elves, ensuring that Kalva's defense system could keep up with the pace.

The ironwood nettle wall has grown to a height of 200 meters, and the three-kilometer-long ironwood nettle forest is also more than ten meters high. The nettle shrubs are spreading towards the wilderness, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The three-horse carriage passed through the city gate and entered the city smoothly.

Charlotte first led everyone to the market in the west of the city, where there were many shops of all sizes where you could buy anything and it was very fun.

I just got paid yesterday, and the new employees have also received an advance payment for shopping, so they still have some purchasing power.

Charlotte also accompanied Ruth to the shopping mall and bought her a blue teardrop necklace for 60,000 copper coins.

Charlotte actually had her eye on another pink diamond necklace, which cost over 800,000 copper coins and seemed more suitable for Ruth, but she refused and insisted on this one that cost 60,000.

Charlotte could easily guess what she was thinking, but she couldn't go against her wishes, so she had no choice but to comply.

After paying, Charlotte put the necklace on her.

The blue teardrop design looks quite elegant, and against Ruth's fair skin, it seems to be worth more than its price tag.

"Your wife is so beautiful," the jewelry saleswoman couldn't help but compliment.

This couple is truly a perfect match, both handsome and beautiful.

"Thank you." Charlotte nodded slightly, took Ruth's hand, and prepared to leave.

"You haven't bought a gift for Diana yet," Ruth quickly reminded her in a low voice.

"I almost forgot." Charlotte nodded, pleased to have such a virtuous wife.

He wandered around the shop again and picked out a bracelet worth 80,000 copper coins, thinking that the price couldn't be too different from Ruth's.

Ruth pulled him to the other side of the counter and pointed to a necklace of 880,000 ice crystal sapphires, saying, "This necklace is more suitable for Sister Diana."

"You chose a necklace for yourself worth 60,000, but for her worth 880,000?" Charlotte looked at her with some surprise.

"I like this blue teardrop necklace, but Diana deserves it more than this one," Ruth said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take your pick." Charlotte nodded, and the surprised shop assistant put the necklace away.

While paying, Rose looked at the headdress at the door, while Charlotte quietly asked the clerk to pay for a sapphire ring priced at 108 million at the same time.

I'm in Kalva today, and I might run into Elizabeth. I'll bring a gift with me so it won't be awkward when we meet.

After leaving the jewelry store, Charlotte took Ruth to stroll through several streets. The girl liked to shop, but her spending power was indeed limited. She was tempted by many things, but said no as soon as he asked.

Charlotte insisted on buying her a few things, otherwise the shopping trip would have been a waste.

Around noon, the group met on the street as agreed.

Charlotte took them to the Drunken Fragrance Restaurant for a lavish meal.

As soon as they entered, they ran into Daryl and his two henchmen coming out. Daryl, who was practically strutting around, immediately showed some displeasure when he saw so many people suddenly blocking the door.

The henchman beside him was an excellent observer and immediately offered to clear a path for him.

But when he saw Charlotte's appearance as the first person to enter, his expression changed drastically, and he almost screamed, "Char... Charlotte!"

Daryl and his other henchman recognized who it was and instinctively jumped back a large step, pinning themselves against the wall. As Charlotte slowly walked in, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, and they said in trembling voices, "You...you stay away, we didn't provoke you this time."

As he spoke, his voice trembled with emotion, and he didn't know what was wrong with him today, or why he had run into this jinx again.

"What? You said you're treating me to dinner today?" Charlotte smiled and stepped forward, looking at him.

"Who wants to treat you to dinner?!" Daryl was on the verge of tears, but could only pull out his purse and take out three gold coins: "You guys enjoy your meal, we'll be going now."

"Thank you, Young Master Daryl." Charlotte smiled and accepted the three gold coins, having gotten another free meal.

Daryl quickly made a run for it with his two henchmen.

When he walked up to Martha, Martha clenched her little fist and waved it at him, saying, "If I see you again, I'll beat you up."

Daryl and his two henchmen ran even faster, tripping as they went out the door and scrambling away.

This scene drew laughter from everyone.

"Teacher, is he your friend?" Hattie asked curiously.

"I guess so. Look, didn't he treat us to dinner?" Charlotte said with a smile as she went upstairs.

The waiter was quite perceptive; seeing that Charlotte and her group had terrified Daryl and his gang, he immediately stepped forward with a beaming smile: "Distinguished guests, this way please."

The innkeeper glanced at Charlotte from behind the counter and immediately recognized her. Charlotte's portrait had been plastered everywhere recently, so it was hard not to recognize her. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Honorable guest, please go upstairs. We have large private rooms and elegant seats."

Charlotte nodded slightly and followed him upstairs.

Last time I came to this Drunken Fragrance Pavilion, the manager was a total snob. But last time I disguised myself, and the manager obviously didn't recognize me.

The private room on the second floor has three tables, which is enough to seat everyone.

Charlotte told everyone to order whatever they wanted, and with the 30,000 copper coins Daryl had previously offered as a base, he wasn't worried at all.

Now Charlotte carries over 100 million copper coins in cash and earns millions of copper coins every day, so her spending habits have naturally changed.

It's a rare opportunity to bring everyone out for a meal, so I can't appear stingy.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed to see how extravagant their order was.

He had heard about Charlotte opening a clinic in the Abyss, and it seemed that these people were all employees of his clinic. Unexpectedly, most of them were elves, and they didn't look very old or like magicians, which was quite surprising.

However, even Daryl would flee at the mere sight of this man, so naturally he wouldn't be so tactless as to approach him and ask questions. After ordering the food, he said he would bring them three bottles of his own homemade wine, and then tactfully left the private room.

The dishes at Zui Xiang Lou were quite good, and since we ordered a lot of food, everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

Finally, after calculating the total, it came to a little over 42,000 copper coins. The shopkeeper, as a favor, only accepted 40,000 copper coins.

Charlotte naturally didn't stand on ceremony; this meal meant he only paid ten thousand copper coins, which made him quite satisfied.

"Boss, where should we go this afternoon?" Vivian asked Charlotte. They had already done most of their shopping in the morning and bought everything they needed.

Everyone looked at Charlotte with anticipation in their eyes.

"Let's go to the north of the city. I'll take everyone to explore the wealthy area there, and we can visit the Giant Lighthouse at night," Charlotte said.

"Enjoy the night view and stroll through the night market?!" Vivian's eyes lit up. "Aren't we going back tonight?"

Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this. They had all heard that the night view of Kalva was spectacular, and the two giant lanterns were famous throughout the continent of Aesop. They never expected to have the opportunity to visit them tonight.

"That's right. After we've finished our sightseeing tonight, everyone can stay at my place and return to the Abyss early tomorrow morning." Charlotte nodded.

"Your home?" Vivian asked, puzzled.

"I own a mansion in Calva," Charlotte nodded.

"Oh right, your ancestral home!" Vivian exclaimed in realization.

"Let's go, get in the carriage, let's go to my house first. If you want to go out this afternoon, you can go together as a group." Charlotte took the lead and boarded the carriage, telling the driver the address.

Everyone got into the car.

Before long, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Clayton Manor.

After disembarking from the carriage, everyone looked at the vast estate and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Boss, I didn't realize your ancestors were so wealthy," Martha exclaimed.

"Yes, this manor is quite grand, especially in the wealthy northern district of the city," Vivian nodded in agreement.

"So the teacher is so rich. This manor is so luxurious," Myron whispered.

Lina and the others nodded in agreement, expressing their amazement.
