I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Charlotte's eyes widened in disbelief. What... what kind of pearl is this?!

This pearl is not only large, but also of the highest quality. It is pure white and flawless, a perfect sphere without a single blemish, and emits a soft light that can illuminate a space of several tens of square meters.

"Evelyn, Charlotte said your room light is broken, so she asked me to get you two luminous pearls. I was in a rush today, so I just grabbed two from home. Take them back and see if they fit. If not, I'll bring you bigger ones next time," Louise said with a smile to Evelyn.

"Huh?" Evelyn turned around and looked at Charlotte with some confusion.

"Then I'll take it back for her to try first. If it doesn't fit, I'll let you know." Charlotte smiled as she took the luminous pearl and then patted Evelyn's head. "Aren't you going to thank your sister?"

"Thank you, Sister Louise," Evelyn said sweetly.

"You're welcome," Louise said with a smile and a shake of her head.

"By the way, Evelyn said today that she can corrupt six hundred people, but I see you only have three hundred here. Didn't you say there were three groups of sea creatures waiting here? Send another three hundred," Charlotte said.

"Really? Six hundred people at once?" Louise asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I can do it," Evelyn nodded.

"Evelyn is great, I'll go get some help now." Louise nodded, turned and walked towards the beach, then opened her mouth and emitted a peculiar sound wave.

"Uncle, when did the light in my room break? How come I didn't know?" Evelyn turned to look at Charlotte and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Don't ask too many questions, little one. Take these two round stones back and you can exchange them for chicken legs," Charlotte whispered.

"Really?!" Evelyn's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked expectantly, "How many can I get for one stone?"

"At least ten," Charlotte paused, then added, "chicken drumsticks as big as your face."

  

"Wow!" Evelyn's eyes widened. "This stone is worth more than a chicken leg!"

Charlotte's lips twitched, and she almost burst out laughing.

Evelyn didn't need anything; chicken legs were more practical than pearls. He traded chicken legs for pearls, which was very practical, and she liked it very much. Everyone was overjoyed.

Before long, another three hundred sea creatures emerged from the sea and lined up neatly on the beach.

"The six hundred sea creatures have all arrived. We can begin the ceremony," Louise said as she walked over.

Evelyn took the Necronomicon from Charlotte, stepped forward, raised the golden page in her hand, and began to chant a spell in a low voice.

The sky suddenly changed color, and a blood-red vortex appeared, engulfing the six hundred sea creatures.

Charlotte led Louise back several dozen meters and looked at Evelyn, who was suspended half a meter in the air. She had indeed become stronger and was more adept at using the Necronomicon.

Charlotte couldn't immediately tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing; the stronger Evelyn was, the greater the help she would provide him.

He was able to kill the Saint-level succubus Matthew by defeating him with Evelyn's Lion's Roar, which caught the opponent off guard and allowed him to seize the opportunity to strike.

The more comprehensively Evelyn mastered the Necronomicon, the more uneasy he felt.

Hopefully, it's just his imagination.

So far, Evelyn has been behaving quite well. She's been raised like a daughter, and she doesn't have any temper tantrums; a chicken leg is all it takes to appease her.

"Evelyn seems to have gotten stronger? Can book spirits grow that fast too?" Louise asked softly, her expression filled with doubt.

"I also find it a bit strange. She explained that it was a feedback from the Demonic Transformation Technique and that it unlocked new features in the Necronomicon. I'll ask the Hermit when I have time," Charlotte said softly.

"Indeed, the Hermit is very knowledgeable and will surely know." Louise nodded and did not ask any further questions.

The demonization ritual ended shortly afterward.

Nearly a hundred sea creatures died, and the mortality rate remains relatively stable at around 15%.

Evelyn landed on the ground, her face slightly pale.

Charlotte stepped forward, put away the Necronomicon, and then picked Evelyn up.

"Thank you for your hard work, Evelyn," Louise said gratefully.

"You're welcome." Evelyn nodded slightly, then thought for a moment and added, "Sister Louise, I really liked the lamp you just gave me. Could you bring me some glowing stones next time?"

"Okay, I'll bring you some more next time I come back." Louise nodded, said goodbye to Charlotte, and led the sea creatures away.

"Let's go. If we get home at this time, we can make it in time for dinner." Charlotte also took Evelyn aboard the griffin and headed towards the abyss.

"Uncle, can pretty stones be exchanged for chicken legs?" Evelyn turned to look at Charlotte and asked expectantly.

"Yes, and the number of chicken legs you get in exchange varies depending on how beautiful the stone is." Charlotte nodded with a smile. That last part of the girl's writing was truly a stroke of genius. She guessed that Louise would bring some good stuff next time.

Charlotte will ask Jenny for help in selling these two giant pearls when she goes to Calva in a couple of days.

He wasn't very familiar with the market, but such a large deep-sea pearl with such an exaggerated lighting effect must be worth at least five million copper coins, right?

Two of them, that's ten million, a huge sum of money!

For Louise, this thing was practically a home light fixture.

Charlotte couldn't afford such extravagance. Cashing out and securing her gains would also earn her some wealth points. At her current rate of spending, her current wealth points would soon be depleted.

To maximize his strength before the next Red Moon Night, he needs to speed up his money-making process.

He had a strong premonition that the landscape of the continent of Aesop would undergo a major change on the next night of the Red Moon.

The complete demonization of all members and the nettle defense system are undoubtedly the biggest changes in Red Moon's history of a thousand years.

When they got home, everyone was indeed waiting for them to come back for dinner.

After dinner, Charlotte had just changed her clothes when Diana's carriage was already waiting at the door.

Charlotte boarded the carriage, and Diana, as one of the council elders, naturally had to attend the evening meeting.

"How's the factory doing?" Charlotte asked casually.

"The female workers were very diligent and capable after a month of training, and they did a great job after officially starting work." Diana nodded, looking at Charlotte with admiration: "The machines you made are indeed very efficient, and the quality of the fabrics they produce is also very high. I have already contacted the fabric supplier, and the first batch of goods will be delivered by the end of this month."

"That's good." Charlotte nodded. With Diana's abilities, there was absolutely no need to worry about the operation of the textile factory.

"What are your thoughts on the Demonized Abyss?" Diana asked, looking at him.

Want to know the answer in advance?

"Yes." Diana nodded.

This matter is extremely important to the Abyss, and they have only just learned that Charlotte was one of the instigators of the entire group's demonization.

No wonder Charlotte was so close to Benjamin and Constantine before; it turns out she was plotting this big thing with them.

The Abyss Council had discussed the possibility of all members becoming demonized several times before. According to the current mainstream view, after being demonized, the beast tide would no longer regard this city as a target, completely eliminating the threat of the beast tide. This means that the residents of the Abyss would no longer have to live in fear of the beast tide on the night of the red moon.

This was naturally a good thing, which is why the plan to demonize everyone was implemented so smoothly on the continent of Aesop, with almost all races participating.

But the Abyss was too small, and they had no idea who to ask for help with the demonization, which greatly troubled the council.

No one expected that Charlotte was actually a deep participant in this plan.

This led to Roland inviting Charlotte to a council meeting to discuss the matter of the demonized abyss.

"I don't recommend that the Abyss immediately undergo a complete demonization," Charlotte said.

"Why? Right now, all the small and medium-sized cities on the continent of Aesop are racing against time to demonize everyone, afraid of missing the opportunity this month," Diana asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The Abyss is actually one of the safest cities on the continent of Aesop. As long as the neighboring city of Kalva doesn't become demonized and isn't breached, the Abyss, hidden hundreds of meters underground and protected by natural barriers and a nettle defense system, is impregnable. No magical beasts would dare to rush in. The last Red Moon Night proved this point," Charlotte explained.

"But once you're demonized, won't it be a permanent solution?" Diana asked, puzzled.

"Demonic transformation has a mortality rate. The inhabitants of the Abyss live underground year-round, leading a harsh life, and their physical condition is generally low. Under these circumstances, the mortality rate from demonic transformation could reach over 10%. The population of the Abyss is approximately 150,000, which means the death toll could exceed 15000." Charlotte looked at her. "At that time, I'm afraid that someone in every household will have died from demonic transformation."

"This..." Diana was stunned. She had heard a lot about the benefits of demonization, but she didn't know that the mortality rate of demonization was so high.

If more than 10,000 inhabitants of the abyss were to die at once, the consequences would be too severe.

"Therefore, I do not recommend immediately demonizing the Abyss. Even if it is delayed by a month, it will at least allow them to live for another month," Charlotte said calmly.

Diana remained silent; this was indeed a question worth pondering.

The carriage stopped in front of the city lord's mansion, where Roland waited.

"The young city lord himself is here to greet me at the gate. Do I really have that much face now?" Charlotte said to Roland with a smile.

"With the presence you have now, I'd gladly have my father here to greet you," Roland said with a smile.

"We wouldn't dare accept that." Charlotte and Diana followed Roland into the city lord's mansion and arrived at the conference room.

As soon as Charlotte and her group entered, everyone in the conference room stood up to greet them.

"Dr. Charlotte, you've arrived," Joseph said with a smile, seated at the head of the table. "Please, take a seat here."

The seat next to him was empty; it seemed to have been reserved for him.

The others also greeted Charlotte with friendly smiles.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. Please sit down." Charlotte stepped forward, sat down directly next to Joseph, and nodded slightly to Monica.

Succubuses are awful, but he meant no harm to Monica. If she hadn't notified him in time, Ruth would already be someone else's wife, and he wouldn't stand a chance.

He is indeed the strongest person in the Abyss now, and it is only right that he deserves everyone's respect. If he were to act coy or pretentious, it would seem rather strange.

"Lord Joseph, everyone is here, let's begin," Charlotte said to Joseph.

"Alright." Joseph nodded, gesturing for everyone to sit down, before turning to Charlotte and saying, "Dr. Charlotte, the reason we invited you to this council meeting is to discuss the matter of the Demonized Abyss. What are your thoughts on this?"

Everyone looked at Charlotte. This matter concerned the future of the Abyss. They had held no fewer than five meetings about it, but had not yet come up with a solution.

The abyss is too small, and it has no connection to the heavens, so there's no way to know who to contact to corrupt it.

The news that came out a few days ago revealed that Charlotte was one of the promoters of the plan to demonize everyone. Shocked, they finally found a breakthrough, which led to their invitation to Charlotte to attend the council meeting today.

"I don't recommend that the Abyss immediately undergo a full-scale demonization," Charlotte said.

"this……"

Everyone was taken aback by what they heard and looked at Charlotte with confusion.

Joseph was also taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Now the entire continent of Aesop is undergoing demonization. The Abyss is just a small city with little ability to protect itself. Why not have everyone undergo demonization? After everyone is demonized, the residents of the Abyss will no longer need to live in fear of the beast tides."

Everyone nodded in agreement; this was something they had all agreed on after discussing it for the past few days.

"While demonization can indeed prevent attacks from beast tides, I believe the Abyss is currently one of the safest cities on the continent of Aesop, as evidenced by the zero casualties during the last Red Moon Night. Furthermore, this month, when Kalva deployed the nettle defense system, he included the Abyss area within it, making it even safer. Therefore, there's no urgent need for the Abyss to undergo mass demonization," Charlotte said, looking at everyone.

"Whether it's urgent or not, there's no harm in enchanting it as soon as possible, right? The Abyss is too weak and can't organize a strong guardian team. Once the beast tide floods into the Abyss, the consequences will be unimaginable," Dirk said, puzzled.

Everyone nodded in agreement, showing their approval of Dirk's words.

"You know too little about the fact that everyone has been corrupted," Charlotte shook her head, her voice slightly somber. "Corruption has a mortality rate. The inhabitants of the Abyss live underground year-round, leading a harsh life, and their physical condition is generally low. Under these circumstances, the mortality rate from corruption could reach over 10%. The population of the Abyss is approximately 150,000, which means the death toll could exceed 15000."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes showed shock.

More than 15000 people have died!

This news was incredibly shocking to them.

The meeting room was quiet for a long time as everyone digested the news.

Such a high mortality rate forced them to seriously consider whether to immediately implement a plan to demonize everyone.

"I am well aware of the situation in the Abyss. If it were truly necessary, I would have come to you long ago. Why would I wait until now?" Charlotte said to everyone. "Before Kalva implements the full-scale demonization, the Abyss is basically safe. Even if it is delayed by a month or two, it will at least allow those more than ten thousand residents to survive for a longer period of time. This is also why I am unwilling to immediately implement the full-scale demonization."

Charlotte stood up, looked at everyone calmly, and said, "I have stated my opinion. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

The meeting room was quiet for a moment.

Diana stood up and said, "I agree with Charlotte's suggestion to postpone the complete demonization of the Abyss. The Abyss has not yet reached the point where demonization is absolutely necessary."

"I agree." Roland stood up. "Charlotte was one of the driving forces behind the demonization of everyone; he understands demonization better than we do."

Following the statements of the two young men, the other members of parliament also expressed their approval.

Whether he agrees or not, the decision to undergo demonization rests with Charlotte. If he says he won't undergo demonization, with his current strength and status, is there anyone who can force him to?

"Since everyone agrees, I'll head back now. If it becomes necessary to demonize the Abyss later, I'll make arrangements immediately. My clinic and apothecary are all located in the Abyss, and I will absolutely not allow it to be destroyed. Please believe me on that point." Charlotte smiled at everyone and turned to walk out the door.

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, feeling reassured.

"Then I'll be going now," Diana said, and followed Charlotte away.

Seeing this, no one said anything.

In the Abyss, who doesn't know the relationship between Charlotte and Diana?

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Diana asked with a smile as she got into the carriage with Charlotte.

"A night of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold, how can I waste time here with them?" Charlotte pulled her into her arms, her hand already sliding down her collar.

Diana didn't object, but simply chuckled and said, "I've never seen you so diligent in your cultivation."

"I'm so engrossed in cultivation right now that I can't tear myself away. Tonight, I'll be using you two little devils to help me with my cultivation," Charlotte said with a smile.

"How can your body handle this every night?"

"I'm in excellent health, didn't you know that?"

A blush rose on Diana's face; how could she not know?

The carriage stopped in front of 520 Bacca Street. The two got out of the carriage hand in hand and went inside together.

"Miss, Doctor, you're back." Agatha greeted them and helped them change into slippers.

The two casually agreed and went upstairs.

Ruth had returned to her room on the second floor and was taking a shower in the bathroom.

"Looks like we've come back just in time." Charlotte picked up Diana and pushed open the bathroom door.

"You're back so early." Ruth, who was taking a bath, looked at the two of them and subconsciously covered her chest.

However, the next second, Charlotte put Diana, who had already been stripped naked, into the bathtub, and he also took off his clothes and crawled in.

Two hours later, Charlotte carried the two limp beauties out of the bathroom and onto the soft bed.

Charlotte stood by the bed and suddenly felt a powerful surge of heat welling up from her heart, rushing straight to the top of her head, as if it were about to burst out of her head.

"Is it about to break through?!" Charlotte subconsciously closed her eyes, immersing her consciousness into her body, carefully sensing the changes in her body.
