Chapter 17: Saving the World by Learning Medicine
Charlotte watched as the group chat transitioned from mourning the Eternal Judge to focusing on him, the newcomer. And that guy with the codename 'Merchant' even tried to shift the debt onto him.
That was 2,000 gold coins, which equaled 20 million copper coins!
He wouldn't even be worth that much if he were sold.
So he thought for a moment and quickly typed a line on the black stone screen.
[Miracle: Newcomer reporting in. I hope all the seniors will take care of me.]
[Miracle: I met that uncle by chance, but I won't inherit any of his debts. @Merchant]
This short screen name made Charlotte a bit uncomfortable.
He usually used long names like "Farmer Three Punches Hurts a Bit" or "This Name Has Ten Characters"...
Footsteps could be heard coming from the stairwell, and Charlotte quickly collected the black stone and animal skin.
"Boss, that patient..." Vivian looked at the black robe and broken sword on the ground, as well as the corroded footprints on the floor. She couldn't help but cover her mouth.
It looked like a scene where all traces of a corpse had been destroyed.
She had heard someone knocking on the door just now, but out of caution, she didn't go downstairs.
But strangely, although she was standing at the stairwell, she couldn't hear what they were saying.
She only came out of the stairwell when she was sure there was no more conversation inside the clinic.
"Don't think too much. That patient was poisoned very severely, and there was nothing I could do. These are the only two things left." Charlotte interrupted Vivian's thoughts. He didn't want to become a terrifying murderer in the little girl's imagination for no reason.
"Is that so?" Vivian still had some doubts.
"You use magic to clean the floor and those two items, and I'll take care of them," Charlotte said again.
The poison in Joseph was too vicious, and he didn't want to risk his safety because of the remnants.
Vivian obediently used cleaning magic to clean the floor and Joseph's two belongings, which made her feel like she was an accomplice in something.
Charlotte wrapped the black robe and broken sword with a rag, then carried them and went upstairs.
These were rare items judged by the system, the only two items left by a generation of strong warriors, impervious to highly corrosive venom.
Discard them?
That would truly be a waste.
However, strangely enough, in Charlotte's memory, there was no such legendary powerhouse on the Eiso Continent.
He soon found the answer.
The Eternal Judge never publicized his achievements, just like how the Red Moon organization was not known to the world.
The Red Moon consisted of nine members, who didn't reveal their true identities and instead referred to each other by code names.
Of course, this didn't mean they were completely isolated.
Just like how the Eternal Judge borrowed two thousand gold coins from the Merchant, and the Artificer forged the black longsword named 'Judgment' for him, the Shepherd had also fought alongside him in clearing out monster dens.
The closeness or distance of their relationships depended on the individuals.
The existence of the black stone allowed members who didn't want to reveal their identities to maintain their mystery while participating in the organization's activities.
Through eavesdropping on the chat, Charlotte gained a rough understanding of several members.
The merchant was indeed a merchant, and extremely wealthy to casually lend out 2,000 gold coins.
Artificer should be a weapon forger, capable of forging rare-grade weapons with extraterrestrial meteorites, showcasing exceptional skill.
Shepherd, a powerful orc, currently located in Calva, whose daily work was closer to the Eternal Judges.
Trailblazer has insufficient information, and an unknown identity, but judging from the way she spoke, she should be a female member.
Witch, similarly lacking information, but confirmed as a female residing by the seaside.
Gatekeeper, silent and reticent, only said, "May the Giant Spirit God protect him," puzzling others.
Hermit was highly respected within the Red Moon and had more contact with the Eternal Judge.
Night Watcher, who hadn't spoken since Charlotte joined the group, was the initiator of the Red Moon.
Miracle, a newbie who couldn't do anything.
...
[Witch: Newbie, what's your profession? @Miracle]
[Artificer: It must be a knight. The Eternal Judge has always looked down on mages.]
[Shepherd: The monsters have been becoming more active lately. We need to deal with more monster dens before the decennial Beast Tide arrives.]
Charlotte pondered for a moment and replied, [I am a doctor, dedicated to saving the world.]
