Chapter 91: It's Time to Cultivate Vivian
[Task from Diana: Rescue Three Fox Guards! Task Reward: 600 copper coins.]
The voice of the system rang out.
The system's rewards were not to be missed.
Charlotte wasted no time and approached with a box, opening it and taking out cleaning potions and suturing needles to start treating the three heavily injured Fox Guards.
As for why these Fox Guards were injured, Charlotte didn't need to ask to guess that it was related to the Jardson family.
The obvious signs of orc bites and scratches could only be the work of the Black Demon Guards in the Abyss, daring enough to attack the Fox Guards.
Diana was initially somewhat worried, but when Charlotte opened the box, he seemed to have transformed into a different person.
There was no flashy magic, but his movements were fluid and precise. He carefully cleaned the wounds, used hemostatic potions to stop the gushing blood, and finally sutured the wounds with a uniquely shaped needle.
In no time, the most seriously injured Fox Guard had been treated.
"Even an advanced magician cannot make a severed hand grow back, so this is the best we can do," Charlotte explained, turning to the next Fox Guard.
Diana nodded slightly, feeling relieved as she watched the gradually stabilizing Fox Guard.
She couldn't help but admire Charlotte a bit more. She had only heard that his medical skills were decent, but seeing him perform a so-called surgery with her own eyes significantly impacted her.
It completely overturned her notion that treatment had to be done by a healing mage.
With just a few bottles of potions and a needle and thread, an ordinary human with no magical ability like Charlotte had acquired the ability to heal and save lives.
Charlotte's actions completely overturned his frivolous playboy image from last night. Now, he had an earnest look, exuding a confident charm that was quite different.
"Dr. Charlotte is amazing!" Agatha looked at Charlotte with admiration. His serious demeanor was so handsome! She never expected that he would look like this when saving someone.
The experiences during this period made Charlotte's methods of treating external injuries exceptionally skillful. He had reached an advanced level of skin wound suturing and was about to reach an advanced level in wound cleaning.
The wounds he sutured were already in an extremely perfect state.
This was demonstrated to the fullest when he sutured the wounds on the back of the last Fox Guard.
Seven bloody wounds were meticulously sutured by Charlotte, with the turned-out and torn skin restored to its original position.
The beautiful stitches maximized the restoration of the wounds, and when they fully healed, there would be no horrific centipede-like scars.
Charlotte cut off the sutures and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, a smile appeared on his face.
Applause rang out at the door.
"Take them down to rest, and double the compensation. As for the Fox Guard with the severed arm, I have other arrangements for him," Diana instructed.
Immediately, a servant stepped forward and led the three Fox Guards away.
"Thank you both for your help," Diana gestured, and Agatha approached with two money pouches.
"This is your consultation fee, please accept it."
"There's money to be earned here too," Charlotte glanced at the money pouches. He didn't expect that he could make money while taking refuge in this estate.
Then he glanced at Roland discreetly. Would he accept it? It would be awkward for me to accept it if he didn't.
"I only did some finishing work. The consultation fee should go entirely to Dr. Charlotte," Roland said sincerely, extending both money pouches to Charlotte.
Charlotte looked at Roland's genuine gaze and felt that it would be a crime not to accept this money.
"How can you say that? Dean Roland has also put in a lot of effort," Charlotte tried to refuse verbally, but his hand had already accepted the money pouches and slipped them into his pocket.
Only three coins were in one pouch, but their weight was unusually heavy. They were gold coins.
Roland didn't lack this amount of money.
Diana didn't lack this amount of money either.
But he did!
The fortune-teller from his childhood said he lacked the element of gold. Look at these gold coins, weren't they prepared for him?
Six gold coins, equivalent to 60,000 copper coins!
This was a huge sum of money.
Indeed, the early bird catches the worm.
Even if it was woken up, it still counted!
Roland and Diana looked at Charlotte, who seemed conflicted, and a smile appeared on their faces simultaneously.
"Thank you, Dean Roland, for coming all this way. Please, have a cup of tea before you leave," Diana extended an invitation.
Roland understood her intention.
The three of them then returned to Diana's villa's living room together.
Diana waved her small hand, and the living room doors closed slowly. A faint golden magic barrier rose, completely isolating the room from the outside.
"Last night, the Fox Guards discovered something unusual," Diana began in a cold voice as she took her seat at the head.
