Kingdom’s Bloodline

Huai Ya looked at Putilei suspiciously, but the latter just frowned and waved his hands secretly.

Ramon looked at the Prince of Stars incomprehensibly.

What is he doing?

Until Thales smiled, stared at Ramon, and rubbed his forehead.

He spoke slowly:

"Willow said you are from the capital, Eternal Star City? I checked the list of doctors in the city hall...but why have I never heard of your name?"

Puttilai on one side frowned secretly: Since the prince was recognized, he has been staying in the Mindis Hall. When did he go to the City Hall?

Still looking through the doctor's list?

God, there are hundreds of doctors in the entire capital, including neighboring territories and suburbs!

Ramon smiled awkwardly: "Oh, I only help some poor people to treat diseases, charging meager fees...so probably not registered..."

Thales frowned slightly, then smiled.

"Poor, is that so?" The second prince asked bluntly, "Then I guess the place where you make a doctor's visit is probably the lower city?"

He continued to look at Ramon, rubbing his fingers on the side of his forehead.

Ramon nodded unnaturally: "Ah, yes...Many poor people live there...I used to be in the second district of the lower city..."

The second prince didn't let him continue, Thales exhaled softly: "I also heard that it is the territory of the Brotherhood of the Black Street?"

Ramon's breath suffocated unconsciously.

"Although it's inappropriate to say that in front of you...the lower city is indeed full of gangsters." Ramon looked around vigilantly, not noticing that he had unknowingly begun to answer Thales' question step by step.

Thales twirled his fingers lightly and stared at Ramon disturbingly: "Then tell me, if they—the members of the Black Street Brotherhood are injured and sick, will they also come to invite you, dear Ramon? What about the doctor's treatment?"

After saying that, Thales showed an innocent smile that a seven-year-old boy should have, and looked straight at Ramon.

"How is it possible, those gangsters, we dare not deal with them.

"Ramon changed the topic in embarrassment: "Your Highness, with all due respect, the situation of the gentleman on the bed is not good...not as good as us..."

"Ah, yes," Thales suddenly smiled happily, "But you don't think so in your heart."

Ramon was taken aback.

heart?

But Thales' next words made Ramon's eyes widen.

"You seem to have treated many fraternity people?" Thales pressed his temple with one hand, and seemed to be desperately remembering something with the other.

"Well, a guy with a knife, ah, that guy looks rather ruthless, but he doesn't like to talk much... But gangsters, it's normal to have such a person..."

Ramon suddenly looked strange.

Take a knife.

ruthless.

Don't like to talk.

A figure that fit the description appeared in his mind.

But how could that brat...

Thales stared at him playfully:

"What's his name... Leyok?"

"It seems that I often come to you for treatment. Looking at this picture, he can't be a killer, right?"

Ramon's expression changed suddenly.

Killer Leyock.

The thirteen generals of the Brotherhood, a quiet killer who is as ruthless to the enemy as to himself——Ramon did not take care of the terrible wounds left by him after those fierce battles.

But how did he know?

Puttilai and the others on the side looked at each other in blank dismay.

How is this going?

"Let me see, in the room with black decoration, there is a still life painting of a fruit vase hanging on the fireplace..." Thales closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, as if he was trying to remember:

"Ah, a lot of blood, a knife wound on the left shoulder...God, he almost bit his teeth through the pain, clutching your collar tightly, muttering about 'stinger', 'scorpion whip'..."

"Who is that crying woman next to her? She looks very beautiful...Her name is...Belicia?"

Ramon gritted his teeth.

Isn't he a pampered prince?

How could he know about the scene where I helped Leyock heal a year ago?

Leyok went to assassinate the target, but was ambushed by the Vial Gang.

Is it information from the secret department?

No.

Impossible... Ramon's face was ashen, and he thought chillingly:

Because of the details of the big house in Lianhei Street, Leyock's room...

He knew it all so clearly.

Even I can barely remember.

And Belicia who was crying next to her...

"Don't stop, doctor," Thales rubbed the side of his forehead, opened his eyes and smiled, "Think about it, which fraternity members have you treated? Are there any people with higher levels? Quickly recall ...Ah, that's right..."

fraternity.

Higher level...

Ramon found himself shaking slightly.

"A fat man...what do you call him? Morris? Why does he always like to meet you at the back door of a bar? At first he brought an ugly dog ​​with him, always smiling, do you know him well?"

Ramon suddenly fell into an ice cave.

Morris, one of the Big Six?

Regarding that matter, my direct contact was indeed Morris.

The secret meeting place is in the back alley of Sunset Bar...

But how is this possible?

Morris would make sure it was safe there every time.

unless……

He didn't want to think about that possibility.

Ramon tried his best to clear his mind, but Thales' words always made him unable to recall the scenes in his memory.

"Come and see some fun memories..."

memory?

"Huh, this is... a big man?" Thales grinned, and said slowly: "He has a fierce face, he doesn't look very good, but he has a bad temper."

"It's in the crotch, how pitiful...I mean you, doctor! You want to treat him."

"Oh, it's because his dad is fierce, isn't it?"

Ramon showed the most incredible expression, looking at the mysterious second prince.

Does he even know this?

"Just think about it. What's his name? Oh, Rhoda?"

Thales smiled lightly and said:

"Is he your most troublesome patient?"

"Quaid Rhoda?"

The doubts of Puttilai, Wyatt and others deepened.

Ramon opened his lips unconsciously, his palms were already wet with sweat.

Quaid?

Rhoda's son?

His injury... I was indeed the one who checked and treated him.

But this is only known to senior cadres within the Brotherhood.

Nothing could be more secretive.

How does a prince know?

Ramon stared blankly at Thales.

Thales sighed, he let go of his right hand, stared straight at Ramon, and sneered.

"Don't be surprised, this is my ability."

"Yes, Dr. Ramon."

The next moment, Thales smiled and uttered a simple and effective sentence to the stunned Ramon:

"I can read minds."

Ramon stared blankly at Thales, his mind blank.

Thales continued to smile brightly: "You think, you think, it's all mine."

mind reading.

Puttilai, Wyatt, and Rolf all opened their mouths wide and stared at the second prince in a daze.

Ada frowned tightly, staring at the back of Thales' head.

mind reading?

Ramon struggled, showing the most unbelievable expression.

No.

Even in the handbook of the soul tower... mind reading is the most untouchable field.

And he is obviously only seven or eight years old, yet he has such...

No.

The frat doctor shook his head unconsciously.

Thales turned his head and looked at the shocked Puttilai, Wyya, Rolf and the others.

But Ada on one side folded her arms instead, with a suspicious look on her face.

"Please keep it a secret for me," Thales showed a bright smile: "When he trained me to use this ability, he didn't want others to know..."

"But I trust you."

"Training...you?" Puttilai asked incredulously, "Who?"

"Who else?" Thales smiled happily and turned his head.

He looked at Ramon with a face of fear, and said a name with ease and joy:

"Morat Hansen."

There was silence.

Everyone in the audience stared blankly at Thales.

As if he was some kind of monster.

Ramon stared blankly at Thales.

Morat Hansen.

He knows the meaning of the name.

Lancer's teacher.

The nightmare of the stars for half a century.

Vipers in the night.

Head of the Secret Division.

No way.

The new prince of the stars is a student of the Black Prophet?

Of course, Thales thought to himself: Morat is more comfortable using this so-called "ability" - after all, he can detect the opponent's lies to assist the next question.

But fortunately, the chips he has are not bad.

Everyone in the audience reacted.

"You never said..." Putillai frowned, "You actually talked to the Black Prophet..."

"Ah," Thales sighed lightly: "You know, after all, abilities like mine are too rare."

"Let's come to the most direct part." Thales reappeared as a friendly seven-year-old boy, rubbed his forehead, and smiled: "Come on, think about your true identity, Dr. Ramon."

"Would you mind letting me know?"

Ramon trembled slightly, staring blankly at the ground.

my identity?

No.

my identity.

That would expose... would put the fraternity... would put the man...

No!

Can't think about it.

Can't think about it!

"That's right, so this is your identity," Thales rubbed his forehead, looked at Ramon who was nervous and absent-minded, and showed a triumphant smile: "No wonder I have read the roster, but I have no impression of your name Woolen cloth."

"So you're not just a secret black doctor doing fraternity calls."

He narrowed his eyes:

"You're basically a member of the Black Street Brotherhood."

"The nicknamed strange doctor..."

"Cobb Srka Ramon."

Ramon's hands dropped unconsciously.

my full name...

Thales put down his finger and concluded.

That's all he knows - Thales told himself secretly.

Hope it works.

During the four years in the fraternity, a little beggar who was strictly controlled, begging hard for food and clothing every day... was always ignored.

Therefore, he—the former beggar Thales, could always learn many secrets of the Brotherhood without attracting attention.

For example, with a thin body, through the dog hole, I heard Leyok and Belicia's goblins fighting—ahem—to inquire about the secrets in their room. Who told Leyok's room to be in the corner of the big house, the outermost edge? .

For example, watch the back alley of the Sunset Bar every night, and once it is confirmed that there is no one in it—such as Morris and his angry wolf dog—sneak in and look through the garbage for a day.

Of course, the most important thing is the strange looking doctor in front of him.

Strange doctor Ramon.

He doesn't appear in the fraternity much, and always covers his head.

But don't underestimate a beggar's memory and recognition skills.

In order to survive, they must recognize the figure and posture of every passer-by in order to gain a trace of life.

Which one is the poor, which one is the rich man, which one is the hard worker, which one is the pampered one, which one can steal, which one can only beg, and which one can't even get close...not to mention they are always beaten by thugs Greetings - who are our own people.

"If he shows up, get out of the way, understand?"—this is what Quaid said while holding a poor boy by the collar.

The strange doctor always appeared after the "big action" of the Brotherhood. When he came, he smelled of potion, and when he went, he smelled of blood—obviously he was going to treat the injured: Thales, who had just dug a secret tunnel and came back late one day Lying secretly on the side of the road, I saw Leyok being carried back, and saw the terrible wound on his shoulder that was bleeding continuously.

Then came the figure of Ramon.

Beggar Thales, I remembered this figure at that time.

Prince Thales also remembered this figure at this time.

And Quaid, who often drinks heavily—this name is so old that Thales almost forgot about him—he will go to "check his body" regularly, but every time he comes back, he brings the unique potion of the strange doctor smell.

Every time Quaid came back from the "examination", he was also full of anger, drunk excessively, and occasionally mentioned the full name of the strange doctor when beating the beggars.

Cobb Srka Ramon.

Thales buried the memories of the past in his mind.

It's a pity, this miraculous "mind reading"... only works for Ramon.

Ramon was dripping with cold sweat.

But he was relieved.

fortunately.

Fortunately, he didn't read out my real identity...

The deadly secret...

"etc,"

Thales observed Ramon's expression and shook his head:

"It seems that your identity is not that simple?"

Of course—Thales thought to himself: He only knows Ramon's name and nickname, but a guy who goes in and out of fraternities and often meets high-level officials, how can he be a simple doctor?

"Could it be...do you have any other secrets?" He asked quietly.

Thales looked at him with deep eyes, and the seven-year-old boy slowly raised his finger: "Come on, think about it carefully."

Ramon trembled involuntarily.

The scene is a little weird.

An old man, trembling in front of a nervous boy.

something else.

secret.

No.

"No!"

Ramon yelled in horror.

He didn't dare to look into Thales' eyes, and lowered his head in fear.

"I……"

"Please...please stop..."

"I……"

Thales narrowed his eyes.

"Don't be too surprised, I've seen many expressions like yours." Thales stretched himself.

"From the criminal," Thales turned his neck and whispered in satisfaction, "to the king."

Ramon bit his lip bitterly.

"To be honest." Thales stared at Ramon: "I am Prince Star, the sole heir of this country, and you are just a gangster."

"I'm not interested in you at all."

"I don't want to care about your secrets either."

"It's just, about things that involve me..." He said lightly, "So,"

"Before I tear your botched lies to pieces and dig your dirty little secrets out of that big head of yours... Dr. Ramon—tell me why you insist on following Are we heading north?"

"Save me from digging some boring things in your mind..."

Ramon was taken aback.

Yes.

and those...

secret.

"I understand, Your Highness," Ramon said bitterly, "I will be frank about my purpose..."

"Thank you for your cooperation. After all, this mind-reading ability is not easy to use... I can only maintain it for a short period of time," Thales sighed, put down his right hand, and said with a sly smile: "The next time you use it , we will have to wait until tomorrow.”

Ramon trembled again.

"Oh, and you can start the diagnosis and treatment." Thales smiled and pointed at Jorah: "We have wasted a lot of time."

Ramon lowered his head dejectedly.

The others looked at their prince with different expressions.

It was like meeting him for the first time.

—————————

"Blood Bottle Gang? Nekla and Catherine?" Thales frowned.

Rolf trembled unconsciously behind him.

Catherine...

Big sister head?

"Yes, I'm hiding from them," Ramon said with a deep and mysterious expression. He was holding a potion, scissors, and cloth strips, and he was treating Jorah's injuries. He glanced at Thales from time to time, flashing fear: "Of course, I have never heard the names of these people..."

Thales' heart skipped a beat.

The scene of Nekla, the big man in red, fighting with Eastron in the Grass Manor came to mind.

"I've been chased by them for six or seven days, and I just hid in the fortress—but it's only a matter of time before they find out where I am. As long as they stay around, they will eventually catch me."

"And Exeter and Xingchen are about to fight again... I appear alone in the wild and meet the army of either side, and the end will not be better than falling on the blood bottle helper..."

"So, when we came here and sought a doctor," Thales mused, "You just had a whim and counted on us to leave Broken Dragon Fortress under our cover? Do you leave after reaching Exeter?"

Ramon nodded bitterly.

It's suspicious.

Thales secretly said.

Why did a secret doctor who lived in the royal capital come to the border between the two countries?

"A member was injured at the border," Ramon said silently, not daring to look at Thales at all: "I came here for medical treatment... but was discovered by the Blood Bottle Gang."

No, Thales thought to himself: A gangster doctor who is only in charge of healing, has really reached the point where the Blood Bottle Gang has sent out manpower and chased him at the border for six or seven days?

There are other secrets.

It's a pity... I just told him that the "Mind Reading Technique" can only be used tomorrow, otherwise I can scare him again.

Thales nodded and said, "Continue with the treatment. For the sake of your frankness, maybe I will reconsider."

Ramon nodded bitterly.

Thales exhaled, he jumped off the seat, but suddenly felt numbness under his legs.

Thanks to Wyatt and Rolf's support, he didn't fall down.

Oops, for the sake of performance, I just sat for too long - Thales struggled to stand up.

Fortunately, the fluctuation that had appeared since "died" once spontaneously surged to soothe his numbness.

By the way, Thales beat his leg worriedly: this wave, this force, is also the source of trouble, although it feels like it can instantly enhance his state, but the range seems to be a bit small - just enough for him to cut the rope .

And—Thales thought worriedly: What the hell is it?

It's the kind of field of view that opens up the thermal radiation detection, which looks very dazzling...

Thinking about this, Thales guided the fluctuations around his eyes.

That magical vision reappeared.

He turned his head and saw light radiating from each of them.

Ada is a dazzling white light, Wyia is exuding a sharp gray light, Puttilai is full of soft purple light, and Rolf is a continuous cyan gleam.

These are different forces? vitality? Or energy attributes?

Thales curiously tested his vision.

He turned to the house.

The next moment, Thales was stunned.

In the field of vision given to him by that wave, he saw the most incredible scene.

The light on Jorah's body flickered at this moment, like a dim light that was about to go out at any time.

But Ramon...

There was no dazzling light on Ramon.

But it seems to emit strange dark fluctuations one after another, resonating with the surrounding world.

But it wasn't this that surprised Thales.

I saw that Ramon was gently pressing Jorah's wound up and down.

A series of distinct light particles gushed out from Jorah's flickering body and converged on Ramon's hand.

Those trembling light particles followed Ramon's hand and slid across Jorah's wound.

Particles of light seeped into Jorah's hideous festering wounds.

Seep every little bit.

The light on Jorah's body became more stable and brighter.

Like a dying patient slowly recovering.

Thales looked at Ramon blankly.

Others may not see clearly because of the light.

But in the vision given to Thales by that fluctuation, he could see clearly.

I saw that the doctor was in the dark corner, his lips trembling slightly.

As if talking about something.

As he chanted regularly, the light particles emitted from Jorah's body passed through Ramon's hands rhythmically, and then returned to Jorah's body, completing a cycle.

Thales frowned tightly.

This is definitely not medicine.

he told himself with certainty.

Absolutely not.
