Chapter 222: I have a friend (1)

Open for business, Charlotte let Vivian start seeing patients first while he focused on Jonah and Celia, who had just walked in.

The two siblings were fully armed, obviously preparing for a wilderness hunt and planning to buy some potions in advance.

"Doctor, hello." Jonah greeted him with a smile.

"Doctor." Celia also gave a shy smile.

"Are you two preparing for the wilderness?" Charlotte asked with a smile.

"Yes, we heard that there have been deer sightings around the outskirts these days. We plan to try our luck. The antlers are quite valuable, and hunting them isn't too risky." Jonah nodded, full of anticipation for today's hunt.

"I'm looking for a few materials. I wonder if you two are interested in taking my commission," Charlotte said.

"Oh? Doctor, do you want us to help you find the materials?" Jonah was a bit surprised, but immediately patted his chest and said, "Just say it. As long as it's something we can find, we'll help you get it."

"You don't have to go out of your way to search. If you happen to come across them while hunting, just bring them back to me," Charlotte said, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket and handing it to Jonah. "This is the list of materials. Take a look and bring back whichever you find."

"Okay, I'll do my best to find them," Jonah promised earnestly as he took the list.

"I haven't commissioned adventurers before. Do you think I should pay you a commission fee?" Charlotte inquired.

Jonah quickly shook his head. "It's just a small favor. You don't have to be so polite. If I happen to find these materials, I'll bring them back to you without hesitation."

"That won't do. In the wilderness, every extra task means taking on greater risks. I must pay you a commission fee. If you refuse, then I won't commission you." Charlotte's expression turned serious.

"Well... in that case, let me bring the things back to you first. Then I'll pay the commission fee based on the difficulty. If I don't find anything, then, of course, I won't accept your money," Jonah suggested.

"Alright, let's settle it that way," Charlotte agreed with a nod. The plan didn't sound too bad.

Jonah purchased two sets of basic first-aid kits and left with Celia.

Instead of seeking assistance from others, Charlotte began his practice.

The morning went smoothly, with no special cases or patients dying on the operating table due to severe injuries.

However, this meant that today's revenue was ordinary, with only 25,420 copper coins.

Today, Charlotte took on more surgical tasks.

As a result, Vivian seemed relaxed. After completing the surgery, she had free time to play with Anna while waiting for Charlotte to finish the last operation.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Charlotte went out to rent a carriage and arranged to meet the three of them on Baka Street.

Vivian and Kasha stood on the street, waiting for a while. Vigilantly looking around, Vivian whispered, "Where did the boss go? Why hasn't he come back for so long?"

At this moment, a black carriage slowly stopped in front of them. The driver was a burly man with a square face who whispered to the two of them, "Get in the carriage."

"Who are you? Why should we get in your carriage?" Vivian pulled Kasha back two steps, looking at the square-faced man warily.

"Shh, I'm Charlotte. I've disguised myself. Get in the carriage quickly and don't draw attention." The square-faced man said in a low voice.

Vivian had a determined look on her face. "I don't believe it. Our boss is handsome, not like you. And when he left just now, he wasn't dressed like you. Tell me, what did you do to our boss? Did you knock him out and put him in the carriage, and now you want to deceive and sell us too?"

Charlotte was somewhat amused and satisfied with Vivian's affirmation of his looks. However, he couldn't help but wonder if her excessive caution was due to the traumas she had suffered from being repeatedly deceived in the Abyss.

"It's the boss. I can recognize his voice, and his fingers are the same." Kasha pulled Vivian and boarded the carriage.

"Kasha, you're clever." Charlotte flicked the reins and drove the carriage forward. However, this served as a reminder to him that the disguise mask only changed the face but couldn't completely conceal certain details. When changing identities, he had to pay attention to this.

"Boss, is it you?" Vivian stuck her head out of the carriage and curiously reached out to touch Charlotte's face. "Even the shape of your face has changed, it's more amazing than my wig."

"Sit back properly and keep quiet. When we arrive in Calva, be careful and don't say anything. It's not the Abyss there, and you might be sought after by the Chronwell people." Charlotte warned in a low voice.

Hearing the name Chronwell, Vivian instinctively shrunk her neck and obediently sat back in the carriage.

But soon, she lifted a corner of the curtain and secretly admired the scenery outside, her eyes full of joy at going out.

Although she had traveled from the capital all the way south to the Abyss, crossing thousands of miles, she had been running for her life the entire time and hadn't had the chance to enjoy the scenery along the way.

It wasn't until she was taken in by Charlotte that her state of mind gradually calmed down.

Kasha also lifted the other corner of the curtain and curiously observed the outside world.

Although she had been in the Abyss for a year, she had barely been anywhere except the sewers, let alone the legendary Calva.

Even among the sea-dwelling races, Calva was still a coveted city.

Some powerful and wealthy sea-dwelling beings even owned properties in Calva and occasionally went there for a short stay.

It is said that there are two giant lighthouses in the big city, and when night falls, the two huge lights will illuminate the entire city of Calva.

Just the lighthouses alone are enough to excite and inspire one's imagination.
