Chapter 37 – Trial


In the corridor from the treatment room to the public lounge, a trial was underway. Other medical practitioners looked at the slightly small-framed “222,” the eyes behind the crow mask filled with various complex emotions. They had no doubts about the accusation against “176” of “stealing the art style,” and even found it very reasonable.

Healing techniques were not just a set of operations, but also a learning method for miracles. Unlike combat artificers, healing and crafting artificers did not need PVP, so their miracles could be made easier by extending the casting time. Combat artificers couldn’t do this, as enemies would simply attack them while they were reading the spell. Therefore, healing and crafting artificers broke the miracles down into many steps, combining them into one miracle. These steps were called art styles. As long as you learned the art style, learning the miracle was only a matter of time.

Art styles were also considered important intellectual property. An artificer who created a new art style, no matter how narrow its scope or how unusable it was commercially, could earn enough royalties by licensing it to other artificers for research to buy a 50-year life extension package from the four major research institutes. This was also the reason why Asho always woke up to find only one medical practitioner in the treatment room; medical practitioners were not allowed to be observed by others during treatment to prevent others from stealing their treatment art styles.

The medical practitioner looked at “201” and asked, “Are you sent by the teacher?”

“I am a graduate student who is studying with your senior sister. She is my boss.”

“Broken Lake Prison Chief is a friend of my boss… but my boss instructed me not to disturb you normally. If it weren’t for this scum stealing the property of the research institute, I wouldn’t have shown up.”

The medical practitioner asked, “Now that I’ve exposed my identity, do I have to leave here?”

“Miss, you’re joking. Who comes to Broken Lake Prison to participate in the ‘Blood Embrace Ceremony,’ if not the prepared blood descendants of the four major research institutes? How could we betray you? How could we dare to betray you?”

The other medical practitioners all bowed respectfully to show their respect. Of the 36 Blood Moon Kingdom research institutes, 24 were small research institutes, eight were medium research institutes, and four were large research institutes. Most of them were “prepared blood descendants” from small research institutes, while the young lady in front of them was a new “Blood Cry” ethnic group from the four major research institutes, with a huge gap in identity between the two sides.

Frankly speaking, even if they completed the Blood Embrace and left the prison, the best result would be to become a golden blood descendant and gain a life extension of 200 years, stopping at the second wing for the rest of their lives. However, almost all of the new ethnic groups from the four major research institutes were holy domain blood descendants with a life extension of 500 years, and even legendary blood descendants with a life extension of 1,000 years! Three-winged holy domain was the starting point they had to reach, and four-winged legends were not surprising. They might even touch the realm of the gods and become semi-divine saints above all living beings in the Blood Moon Kingdom!

“Miss, how should we deal with this scum?” “201” asked.

The medical practitioner remained silent for a moment and looked at “176.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Bold!”

“201” snorted coldly and popped a vein bubble. “176” trembled all over, and her already pale fish face turned into a blank sheet of paper.

“I don’t accept this.”

“What don’t you accept?””I don’t accept that you can become a new ethnic group in the Blood Cry Research Institute, while I have to fight and struggle in a small research institute.”

【176】 Almost biting his own sharp teeth: “I am also the pride of the fish people, and I can also become the supreme blood descendant. Why is there such a big gap between me and your resources?”

“I don’t accept it. I had to use all my tricks to get the chance to become a blood follower, while you can easily get it. I don’t accept it. The formulas that I couldn’t get are just common knowledge for you. I don’t accept it. Why are the best prisoner materials all handled by you, while I can only get some tasteless scraps…”

“What I don’t accept the most is that your talent is so good!”

【176】 More and more hysterical: “I can’t watch you surpass me… I can’t!”

“He’s really a scum without any remorse.”

【201】 Popped another blister, and now 【176】 was almost fainting.

“He doesn’t need to listen to his rubbish anymore… Miss, how do you want to deal with him?”

【201】 paused, “Generally speaking, he will be executed on the spot.”

The medical staff looked at 【176】, who was almost collapsing on the ground, and thought for a long time.

“He didn’t make me hate him enough to want him dead, but if he dies, I won’t mind either.”

“So, what do you mean…”

“Find a soft stick shaped like a clam, beat him all over, don’t let him be treated, and drive him out. Oh, isn’t he a blue scale fish person? Finger shark shouldn’t be able to kill him. Throw him into the sea tonight and let him swim back by himself.”

【201】 was stunned, “But Miss…”

“That’s my decision.” The medical staff looked at 【201】, “If you don’t agree, do as you wish. I don’t mind.”

“Okay, I’ll leave now.”

The medical staff walked quickly through the crowd and seemed to want to escape from this suffocating atmosphere. But soon, a slow and heavy footstep caught up with her.

The medical staff stopped in front of her dormitory door and looked at 【201】 who caught up.

“Is there anything else?”

“Since I have already disturbed you, I just want to take this opportunity to remind you… just a few reminders.” 【201】 carefully chose his words, “Just a few reminders.”

“I noticed that you spent a little… more time than the regulations allow with the prisoners in the treatment room. Of course, this is completely fine. I promise no one will use this rule to offend you, and I’m not here to warn you.”

“If it weren’t for avoiding trouble from the Human Rights Association and the Ethnic Rights Association, we wouldn’t need to pretend to be medical staff to perform the ritual here. Those rules are just to reduce the possibility of trouble, but Miss, you don’t need to worry about encountering trouble.”

【201】 emphasized his humility in every sentence.

“I’m just worried that when Miss is playing around, she will develop unnecessary feelings for those materials and delay the blood follower ceremony. If Miss’s blood follower progress has problems, the boss will hold me accountable.”

The medical staff shook her head, “I haven’t forgotten the blood follower ceremony, don’t worry.”

She paused, “All the prisoners I have treated have already been implanted with blood follower seeds by me. As long as they die in the trial, the blood follower seeds will naturally condense their knowledge and artificing power and turn them into my source blood.”The healer entered his own bedroom and reached out to remove his crow mask, revealing a pair of extremely violent crimson eyes. They stared at【201】like a predator, causing the latter to feel a chill down their spine.

“Our Blood Saint clan has never had any feelings for bread.”
