Hearing Lathel’s words, everyone looked at him in surprise, including Alec. Lathel continued: “However, I can only pay for the previous treatment costs. As for the cost of stitching the wound a second time, he will pay it himself.”
Hearing that, the doctor frowned. He then asked Lathel again: “Are you sure that you want to pay for the treatment costs of this pervert?”
“You are the pervert, your whole family are perverts.” Alec shouted angrily.
“Ah! Since he scolded me, the money has to be increased to compensate for the loss of my honor. 100,000 gold coins.” The doctor said calmly.
Hearing that, Alec was so angry that he wanted to spit blood, but he couldn’t spit out any more blood because he had no more blood to spit out.
Lathel sighed and said: “Good! 100,000 gold coins, I will pay for it.”
The doctor looked at Lathel for a moment, then said: “Okay, I won’t make it difficult for you. You just need to give me 5,000 gold coins.”
“Heh?!” Lathel said, a little surprised: “Is that okay?”
“I’m the doctor here. I decide the cost. Do you have any problems with that?” The doctor said uncomfortably: “I think you are very kind, so I reduced it to 5,000 gold coins.”
“If you don’t like it, you can give me 100,000 gold coins.”
“Ack! No.” Lathel quickly took out his ID card, then paid Alec’s hospital bill. That doctor actually only took 5,000 gold coins from Lathel.
After paying, the doctor looked contemptuously at Alec and said: “Before treating him, he needs to write me a debt.”
“It’s not a normal IOU, it’s a magical IOU. Note that after I successfully treat him, he must pay me 200,000 gold coins.”
“Damn it!” Alec clenched his fists, but the angrier he got, the more painful his ‘chrysanthemum’ became, right now it was so painful that it made tears flow from his eyes.
Suddenly, Alec?looked at Lathel with anger. 𝘳.𝑐ℴ
Lathel also didn’t know what Alec was thinking, nor did he care. Regardless, the peace contract still exists, so Alec could not harm him.
Lilith was now confused and asked: “Lathel, why did you help him? He always wants to hurt you, right?”
Lathel shook his head: “At the end of the day, he is my classmate. Besides, there is a peace contract, so he cannot harm me.”
Hearing that, Lilith pouted: “You are too kind, Lathel, one day your kindness will harm you.”
Lathel smiled without speaking. But Malina immediately smiled when she heard that, then said: “Claire, let’s go.”
“Alec, the family has something important to deal with. Once it’s done, I’ll come visit you.”
Malina didn’t wait for Alec to respond, as she immediately took Claire and left.
Alec gritted his teeth, he looked as if he wanted to devour Lathel. But now he could only stay silent, and wait for the doctors to treat him.
Lathel also shook his head, then left the place with Lilith. Now only the doctor was left. Although a white mask covered the doctor’s face, revealing only his eyes, the way the doctor looked at him made Alec extremely uncomfortable.
That look contained all kinds of emotions such as contempt, disgust, nausea…etc.
The doctor spoke up: “Well… 200,000 gold coins, no negotiation. If you do not agree to establish a magical debt, then you can find someone else to treat you.”
Hearing that, Alec took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: “Good! I will sign a magical debt with you.”
“Huh! To prevent you from running away, the debt note must clearly state that within 7 days, if you do not repay the debt, you… your ‘chrysanthemum’ will explode again.”
Hearing the words ‘exploding chrysanthemum’, Alec clenched his hands so tightly that they turned white, his blue veins clearly emerging like tree roots.
“Okay!” Alec gritted his teeth and said, now, he had no other choice. He Must treat his ‘chrysanthemum’ first, then…
In his eyes, this doctor was?someone who was certain to die. Of course, the old man guarding the gate on the 15th floor of the Enchanter Tower was still on his kill list.
…
Outside, Malina and Claire walked out of the Enchanter Tower. She glanced at the carriage pulled by the monster Drake and laughed.
“Master, why are you laughing?” Claire asked in confusion: “Besides… Why did you leave so early? Won’t you stay longer to gain more trust from Alec?”
“Huh! No need!” Malina said contemptuously: “I don’t want to stay in such a rotten and nauseating place for long.”
“Besides… I found a way to get hold of Lathel.”
“Heh?!” Claire was a bit surprised. Suddenly, she realized something and immediately replied: “Master means… his kindness, right?”
“That’s right.” Malina smiled and said: “He’s a stupid person, so his kindness will be the easiest weakness to exploit.”
Hearing that, Claire nodded: “However, I hope his kindness is genuine and not an act. Otherwise, this person is extremely sly, as he knows how to build a perfect cover to deceive others.”
“It is…” Malina smiled and said: “Even if that kindness is a cover he created, I still have to try. Claire, Lathel’s status is very noble, I just need to make him mine… and everything… will be mine.”
Seeing Malina’s smile filled with greed and confidence, Claire could only bow her head and remain silent.
…
Lathel and Lilith did not use the carriage after they left the tower. They walked on the Enchanter road, and bought a lot of medicinal herbs.
Lathel also used this opportunity to look for monster energy crystals, however, contrary to what he thought, this place did not seem to sell such things.
Even if there is any information regarding a monster energy crystal, it came from the auction center.
However, that place was not always open, it was only open on some fixed days a month.
Lathel sighed, he couldn’t wait that long. Lilith now gave him some advice: “Lathel, if you need energy crystals, you can go to the ‘Black Skull’ forest in the west.”
Lathel shivered when he heard Lilith speak. Hearing the name of the forest, he immediately realized it was an extremely dangerous place.
Currently, he is not capable of surviving in a forest filled with monsters.
“Don’t worry…” Lilith seemed to realize what Lathel was thinking, she smiled and said: “Even though its name is a bit scary, that forest is under the management of the Karol magic academy.”
“Most competitions and practices are held in that forest. The monsters in that forest are not too strong to keep the academy’s students safe.”
Lathel was a little happy to hear that, however, he really needed an energy crystal.
By the time he entered the academy and entered the ‘Black Skull’ forest, it would be too late, Cauldron would enter a state of hibernation due to the exhaustion of energy.
Suddenly, Lilith took out a purple stone the size of a tennis ball, with a strange shape, and gave it to him.
“If you need it urgently just use this stone.”
Lathel knew this was probably a monster’s energy crystal. Although he didn’t know the grade of this stone, he knew that this thing was definitely very expensive.
“Teacher, I want to buy this stone from you, will you sell it to me?” Lathel said smiling.
“Huh!” Lilith pouted: “Do you think I need money?”
“Ack! Then…”
“You promised to massage my shoulder, but many days have passed and you still haven’t done it, huhuhuhu… my shoulder hurts very much.”
Lilith pretended to cry as she spoke. Lathel suddenly remembered his promise to her, he forced a shy smile and said: “Sorry, so many things happened so I… I forgot.”
“Huh! Then… you have to massage my shoulders 10 times, and… hehehe…”
Seeing Lilith smile, Lathel knew she must have something very bad in mind.
He sighed and said: “I’ll just massage your shoulders, don’t do anything else.”
Lilith pouted: “Stingy! 10 times is fine, but I want to lie in your bed.”
“This…” Lathel frowned, finding it a bit difficult to accept.
“Huh!” Lilith took back the energy crystal and said uncomfortably: “Then there’s no need to negotiate anymore.”
“Ack! It’s okay…” Lathel said with difficulty.
“Hehehe… don’t worry, I won’t do anything strange.”
Lathel:
You saying that makes me even more worried.
However, the energy crystal was too important, he needed to have it, otherwise, Cauldron would not be able to continue working.
Lilith threw the stone at Lathel, he grabbed the stone, then immediately placed it in the system’s storage space.
Meanwhile, Lilith glanced at Lathel’s waist, where there were two pieces of jade, red and blue. The red one was Charlotte’s, while the blue one was given to him by Lilith.
Lilith saw that Lathel still kept his promise, as he was wearing the piece of space gem she gave him. This made her smile and nod with satisfaction.
She smiled and said: “Okay, let’s stop here.”
“Heh?! But there are two more ingredients we haven’t bought yet, right?”
Hearing Lathel’s question, Lilith replied: “Yes, but even if you searched the entire Enchanter path, you still wouldn’t find those two ingredients.”
“That’s why we don’t need to waste time here.”
“Are those two ingredients very rare?” Lathel frowned and asked.
“Of course. Those two types of materials only appear at auctions. However, that is only on the condition that you are lucky, if you are unlucky, I am afraid that even one type of ingredient will not be able to be obtained.” Lilith smiled and said. .
“Those two types of materials have extremely high value, each costing more than 1,000,000 gold coins. Even if it appeared in an auction, I’m afraid its value would increase many times.”
Hearing that, Lathel took a deep breath, he felt that the 2,000,000 gold coins he owned seemed like just a grain of sand in the desert.
Lilith continued: “That’s why… Lathel, you must earn more money, otherwise, I’m afraid your body will forever stay at this level, unable to go any further.”
Hearing that, Lathel nodded. At this time, he was looking forward to the restaurant that he and Racunte cooperated to quickly go into operation.
He also didn’t know how powerful the medicine would be if all the ingredients were gathered, and Lilith prepared it. He only knew one thing: he wanted to become stronger.
Not only so that he can defend himself in a world full of dangers and protagonists, but he also wants to protect the people he loves.
“AH!! Come on, let’s go have dinner.”
“Heh?! But…” Lathel was about to refuse.
Lilith looked at him, smiling mischievously: “Hehehe… your mother invited me to her house for dinner. Lathel… I want to eat the food you cook.”
