Chapter 665 Forced Retention

Chapter 665 Forced Retention

The sixth day of treatment ended at dusk. Starting from this afternoon, Tilan began to deliberately select patients with more serious conditions for treatment, and postponed the treatment of other patients with less serious conditions.

Finally, before dark, the patients with more serious conditions were treated. As for the others who had not yet been treated, their conditions could be cured by other doctors, but it would take more time and the effect would not be good.

The sun sank into the horizon. When the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the top of the tent, the curtain of the tent fell completely and closed. After that, it was the process of cleaning the environment and packing up. After

washing her hands and taking off the bird-beak mask she had worn for a day, Tilan wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then took off her coat, revealing a cooler dress.

"Huh, I can finally breathe." Sitting on the stool, the girl took off her shoes, rinsed her feet with clean water, and then stepped lightly on the wooden board, waiting for it to dry.

At this time, other people in the tent also took off their coats and masks, packed up the things in the tent, and occasionally someone came to say a few words to Tilan.

"There seems to be a quarrel outside. Several late patients are coming in."

"I heard it." Tilan nodded, then looked at the closed door curtain.

"But we can't stay here any longer, otherwise this process will never end. There will always be people injured and people who need treatment, but my ability is limited."

"Today I have tried my best to cure the serious ones. For the rest, they can only find reliable doctors on their own." She found a towel, wiped her feet clean, and then put on her socks and light shoes again. "

Let's go. The Wolf Blood King Camp will handle the specific follow-up matters. After all, they have collected a lot of money in the past few days." At this point, Tilan shook her head. In fact, it was still a loss. If she used the money from the Wolf Blood King's revenue, she could buy three times the food.

But this is someone else's territory. She has no intention of breaking the order for the time being, so she abides by the rules of the game set by the other party.

"Yes." Everyone was almost done packing up at this time, handing over some of the temporarily rented coats to the housekeeper in charge of the middle tent, and other items were also handed over.

But when everyone was about to leave, a familiar figure walked out of the back door of the tent.

"Why are you so anxious?" Gus's fat and big-eared image is hard to associate with the wolf-blood species. Today, he is wearing a loose white coat, with three golden necklaces around his neck, and several strong guards behind him.

"The Queen has heard about the agreement between Miss Heshia and me. In the past few days, Miss Heshia's reputation has spread throughout the King's Camp. It just so happens that today is the end of six days of medical treatment, so the Queen asked me to invite you to the banquet and have dinner together. I wonder if you can go with me." Although it was an invitation, looking at his smiling face, it seems that he did not give everyone the option to refuse.

"This..." Several people present hesitated.

For the wolf-blood species, participating in the Queen's banquet would be a great honor, but they are not members of the King's Camp. Facing the queen who rules the grassland in person, I am afraid it would be a mountain of pressure.

"Okay, but I need to change my clothes a little." Tilan wanted to see what kind of person the wolf-blood queen was.

"Of course, that's no problem. Time is not that tight. Just gather at the main tent within an hour." Gus responded generously.

He then had someone escort Heshia and her group back to the caravan's base to change clothes and prepare, and he led the group back.

After returning to the base, the caravan members noticed that there were several groups of wolf-blooded personnel guarding and monitoring outside the base, knowing that leaving now might not be a good choice, so they had to start changing into more decent clothes to attend the banquet.

"It's enough to take six people with you. The rest of you will stay here to guard. In addition, pack up your things, and we will leave tomorrow." Tilan thought about it and said so.

"Yes." Although the girl didn't say the reason, the other people in the caravan also noticed something strange.

It seems that purchasing food this time is not so easy to complete.

...

An hour later, in the main tent of the king's camp.

It was called a tent, but the space inside was extremely spacious. There were twelve thick giant trees supporting the tent, and the space inside was nearly several stories high. There were dim glass lamps hanging on it, and pine oil was burning inside, emitting bursts of fragrance.

When Tilan and her companions arrived, there were already many wolf-blooded high-level people gathering here. They imitated the ancient feudal nobles in the stories and legends, wearing silk dresses, holding wine glasses, and chatting with each other. However, the calluses and scars on their arms and faces were somewhat out of tune with the silk dresses on their bodies.

"Miss Heshia is here~" The waiter at the door saw Tilan and others coming and hurriedly notified.

Although it was only a week, the limelight and reputation of this girl were known to everyone in the king's camp, but the outside world did not know her specific image. The people in the king's camp and some of the settlement's high-level people knew that this seemingly young girl was the famous doctor who stole the limelight this time.

"Miss Heshia, good evening~" A wolf-blooded noble lady raised a wine glass to greet her.

After dressing up and grooming, the appearance of wolf-blood species is not much different from that of ordinary humans, but if they are in combat, it is a different scene.

"Hello~" The girl politely returned the greeting and then continued to move forward.

Arriving at the banquet, Tilan found Gus who was entertaining the guests at the innermost part. The other party raised his glass and praised Tilan for her beautiful clothes and charming temperament tonight.

"This is Miss Heshia, the legendary doctor who has been famous in recent days." He introduced Tilan first, and then introduced the two people around the girl.

"This is Mudrick, the leader of the 'Sharp Teeth' settlement." The man next to him looked to be in his forties or fifties, with short chestnut brown hair, dark red eyes, and a tall figure. He looked quite calm and resolute, unlike those ordinary wolf-blood species who only knew how to act recklessly and fight.

"Hello." Tilan nodded slightly in greeting.

"Hello." The other party returned the glass and raised his hand.

"This is Blitz, the leader of the White Fang settlement." He raised his hand to another person beside him. This person had dark golden hair and three white spots on his face, like the marks of a claw.

"Hello." Tilan nodded again.

Compared to Mudrick, the leader of the Sharp Tooth settlement, Blitz was obviously a little absent-minded. He occasionally looked at the entrance of the tent, as if waiting for someone to appear.

Seeing that Blitz didn't respond, Mudrick came out to smooth things over. He took the initiative to ask Tilan some harmless questions.

"I heard that Miss Heshia is a great doctor. I wonder if you will have time to come to the Sharp Teeth settlement in the future. The scenery there is pretty good. The children are also looking forward to communicating with a beautiful and wise person like you."

"Thank you. If there is a chance, I will go." Tilan responded. Unexpectedly, this seemingly calm and resolute leader actually knows how to socialize and is not so rigid.

Just as the few people were talking about some recent things in the grassland and the king's camp, the long-awaited queen finally arrived.

The sound of golden gongs was heard outside the tent, and then the noisy exchanges in the banquet venue gradually stopped. Everyone looked at the entrance and made way for the main road in the middle, waiting for the queen to arrive.

When Tilan saw the tall figure of the wolf-blood queen turning around and walking out from behind the brazier for the first time, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly in surprise, because the queen looked really too tall, and she was almost not the same species as the surrounding wolf-bloods.

Fortunately, although she had become exceptionally tall, her body shape and outline had not changed much. One could even tell from her strong and powerful legs that she would definitely not be slow in battle.

Her long arms were spread out, brushing past the people present. Her blood-red nails swept across the candlesticks, and the copper candles that enlivened the atmosphere at the banquet went out one by one, leaving only the throne on the high platform in the middle with candlelight, and other places were illuminated by the dim lights above her head.

Carrying gusts of breeze and air currents, the wolf-blood queen sat elegantly on her throne. Her legs were raised higher than some people present. She leaned her body, and her narrow eyes slowly swept across the audience, and then stopped at Heshia.

"You are Heshia, right?"

"It's me, Queen." Tilan imitated the other wolf-bloods to address her, but did not kneel down, just bowed her head to salute.

"Very good medical skills, I can see that you are also knowledgeable."

"Stay in the king's camp in the future, there is room for you to display your talents here. As for the food you want, I will have someone send it back. No one on this grassland dares to rob the wolf-bloods." She didn't even ask Heshia's opinion, but gave a direct order.

"This..." Tilan thought about how to refuse.

"Thank you for your kindness, Queen, but I have other things to complete first. I'm afraid I can only come to the king's camp as a guest in the future." Tilan folded her hands and bowed politely to apologize.

"So, do you want to disobey my order?" When she said this, the wolf-blood queen's eyes were playful and smiling, making it difficult to guess her true thoughts. Because of this sentence, the atmosphere of the entire banquet became a little quiet and solemn, and everyone focused their attention on the girl.

"Heshia is just a passerby passing through the grassland. I have no hostile thoughts towards you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." She did not answer the question directly, but jumped out of the framework and faced the thoughts behind the queen's words.

"Hehehe, you are indeed a smart girl. Seeing you, I feel that some people around me are still too stupid." As she said this, she looked at Gus who was wiping his sweat intentionally or unintentionally.

"Although you promised to come again later, this answer seems too perfunctory to me." The wolf-blood queen raised the wine glass on the side of her hand and asked the waiter beside her to pour her wine.

"When is the future, and how long will it be? I am not such a patient person and need a clear answer."

It seems that the other party will not give her room to escape the answer, the girl thought.

"It will be two years later. I will come to visit the King's Camp again. As for how long I will stay, it depends on how long you are willing to keep me." After two years, the Star-Chasing Covenant will gradually be perfected, and she will not have to worry too much. Besides, by that time, the Federation's starships may come, and the Wolf Blood Queen will not be a problem.

"Two years?" The Wolf Blood Queen shook her finger.

"You are the first person who dares to make me wait for two years." When she said this, the queen's expression changed a little, and her pupils gradually became sharp.

"What if I don't let you go, what are you going to do?"

"This..." It seems that it is useless to refuse politely. The other party is a strong person and will not just walk down the stairs.

"Then please let my friends take the food back first for emergency, and I will stay alone." In this way, no matter what she does next, she will be free.

"Wouldn't it be too lonely to leave you alone? Otherwise, leave half of the people here, and I will let my men escort the others back." The Wolf Blood Queen smiled and tapped the handrail with her fingers. For her, teasing this charming and intelligent girl is much more interesting and fun than interacting with those stupid guys.

Faced with the step-by-step pressure from the Wolfblood Queen, Tilan could only give in step by step in her words, which made her feel that no matter how clear and logical the weak party was, it would be difficult to defend its own interests at the negotiation table.

It was obvious that the other party had not prepared to let her go from the beginning. It was estimated that considering the greedy character

of the Wolfbloods, it would be a pedantic behavior that would make people laugh. The strong should not be questioned. As the ruler of the grassland, no one dared to comment on or oppose any order or decision of the Wolfblood Queen, because these wolf cubs really knew how to kill people.

Well, the so-called means and rhetoric are ultimately limited, especially in this land.

Tilan shook her head and gave up the idea of ​​continuing to argue.

"The settlement where I live will be far away, please send more people to escort me, Queen." She bowed and bent over, and then stopped answering.

Seeing that the girl surrendered on the surface, the Wolfblood Queen seemed to have won the game, with a happy smile on her face. At this time, the other people at the banquet dared to resume talking, and the atmosphere became lively again.

After a few more drinks, the Wolfblood Queen stood up and left the banquet, leaving the place for everyone to revel. She was already tired of the rare banquet food and wine for ordinary people, and there was no fun in staying there.

When the banquet in the Wolfblood King's camp was going on, in an unknown dungeon in the corner of the camp, the guard who was originally in charge slowly fell against the wall and fell unconscious. At this time, a woman in a purple coat stepped over the guard who fell to the ground and walked into this quiet detention point.

Soon, she found the target she wanted to see. It was a special cell with a much better environment and space than others.

"You are here, envoy." Lewender heard the footsteps and hurriedly looked up and finally saw the familiar figure.

"You seem to have expected my arrival?" The woman's face was shrouded in a veil, and her footsteps were slow and silent.

"It happened that someone saw you and told me what might happen."

"Oh, who is the other party?" Since there is no ambush here, it means that the person who saw through it has no malicious intent.

"She is the legendary doctor in the city recently. She is the one who saved me." Lewind walked to the iron bars.

"She?" The woman noticed that in Lewind's description, the doctor seemed to be a woman.

"Yes, she looks very young, but she is extremely knowledgeable and has warned me of many things." Lewind told the person in front of him what the girl said yesterday.

"Her guess is indeed correct, but I think she can't save herself now." The woman shook her head.

"But since she said so, I will wait for two more days. You have to stay in the cell for now."

"If you can't leave the city with the caravan in two days, I will rescue you again."

"Currently, there is a shortage of manpower in the settlement. Not only will it be a bit troublesome without you, but you don't want Bunny to be without a father in the future." She said about Lewind's daughter.

"Is Bunny okay?" Lewind asked with concern.

"She's fine, she just misses you very much."

"You should be careful during this period of time, and don't underestimate the Wolf-Blood Queen. Also, I can't stay here for long, otherwise she will notice me." After saying that, the woman's figure slowly disappeared, as if blown away by the wind.

"This high-level illusion... It seems that the envoy should be at Sequence 6." Lewind was slightly encouraged and gradually calmed down.

"It depends on whether we can leave the city tomorrow."

The night gradually darkened, but the main tent in the Wolfblood King's camp was still filled with music and brightly lit.
