Chapter 1370 Returning Home

After the meeting, the two official representatives stayed with Roland and promised that the government would further promote more assistance projects, including experimental data on first-generation nuclear weapons.

Of course, it was not just the words of the Martial Arts Association that made them make such a commitment. Those magical creations with miraculous effects were also an important reason for the government to be so active. In short, as the Guardian Rock declares, this meeting is just the beginning.

In just a few days, the Graycastle Design Bureau has made up for all the shortcomings left by the single-handed development of Neverwinter City. Each project has hundreds or even thousands of people thinking about and perfecting it. God's will The war is no longer the fate of a world. For the first time, Roland deeply feels that the remaining humans in the world are not fighting alone. There is a force that cannot be ignored behind him to support him. Although the two worlds have never been together. They had no real contact, but fate has closely linked them.

Taking advantage of this wave of technological reform, Luo Lan ordered the Administration to increase the recruitment of workers and plan more than ten new factories in one go to launch various new products from high-performance composite gunpowder to semi-automatic machine tools. After solving the constraints of population and economy, the city of Neverwinter, which is in a period of rapid growth, is fully able to build and develop itself according to his will. At least until the main contradiction of survival is eased, this momentum will not stop.

Just as technological innovation was in full swing, Roland suddenly received an unexpected and surprising news.

Joan, who had been missing for nearly a year, is back.

After receiving the news, he and Nightingale immediately rushed to the Neverwinter No. 1 Medical Hospital. Since the decree was issued last winter to expand the scale of public education and medical care in the royal capital, the Administration Office and Changge Hospital were established on the south bank of the Chishui River and in the central section of Wangguo Avenue. Three medical hospitals were built in the fortress, responsible for simple diagnosis and epidemic prevention work in each district. The Chengxi Hospital, which was first transformed from a noble courtyard and is famous for the permanent residence of Miss Nana, naturally got the title of "First Hospital".

Entering the ward, Carmilla Darry bowed slightly to him.

Wendy and Tilly have returned to the front line, and Scroll is busy reproducing information. The chief butler of Sleeping Island has naturally taken over the task of taking care of everyone. What's more, she had witnessed Joan's disappearance with her own eyes, and she had always felt guilty in her heart. Now the joy of finding her was stronger than anyone else. This could be seen from the fact that she took the initiative to salute to herself.

After all, she always believed that she had "snatched" Tilly and was the main reason for Ashes' sacrifice. If she hadn't obtained the information, Tianhai Realm might directly threaten the fjords and Sleeping Island, and she would not have moved to Neverwinter at all. live.

Roland didn't care too much about this. He waved his hand and said softly, "How is she doing?"

"I can only say...it's not serious."

"Only?" Roland asked puzzled. In his opinion, coming back safe and sound is already the best outcome.

"She...has returned to her previous appearance." Carmilla touched Joan's hair and sighed softly.

It wasn't until after listening to her story that Roland finally understood what the other person meant.

Joan didn't swim back to Shoal Harbor on her own.

The first person to discover her was a Neverwinter fisherman who made a living by fishing. According to the man's report, when he went fishing in the outer sea, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of heavy objects hitting the stern of the boat at night, and then heard bursts of gnawing sounds. I originally thought I had encountered a sea ghost, and when I was about to fight to the death, I didn't expect to see a "big fish" that looked like a human.

At that time, she was holding the fish body that was boiling in the pot and gnawing fiercely, as if she hadn't eaten for several days. Seeing the panicked fishermen, they did not attack. Instead, they let out a few strange screams and then curled up in a corner of the deck, as if they had fallen asleep.

Affected by the long-term publicity of Neverwinter, the fishermen transported it back to Shoal Port with the mentality of giving it a try - the reward for rescuing a witch is much higher than a boatload of fish. Those who arrived, if not sea ghosts, could only be witches.

This "big fish" is Qiong.

"Lily has already checked her. She has multiple parasitic infections all over her body, and some bugs cannot be eradicated." Camilla said heartbrokenly, "In order to eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible, I poured Sleeping Fern into her sleeping body. , and then used a knife to cut out the shelled worms embedded under the skin. Theoretically, these worms would only appear on old ships and giant whales."

"In other words, Qiong didn't swim back from the Shadow Islands?"

"That kind of distance won't contaminate them," she shook her head, "and with Joan's speed, it won't take that long to return to Neverwinter from the ruins. What I'm worried about is... what terrible experiences did she experience that led to It’s back to the way it was before.”

Not being able to clean up the parasites, being so hungry that she boarded the boat to find food, and being so exhausted that she was almost comatose, all indicate that this journey is full of dangers. If she is exposed to excessive stress for a long time, the witch is likely to suffer irreparable psychological trauma. Mai Akane is a typical example.

Carmilla has the ability to communicate mentally and is not afraid that the other party cannot speak. What she is really worried about is that Joan will never recover as before and can only spend the rest of her life like an animal.

Roland couldn't help but be silent.

Indeed, being physically healthy does not mean that everything is fine. Neither Nana's medical bandages nor Lily's purified water can cure psychological blockage.

Suddenly, rhythmic knocking on the door broke the silence in the house.

Nightingale turned around and opened the door with some confusion, only to see Miyue's head peeking out from behind the crack in the door.

"Um... I heard that Qiong is back? Wait, hey, don't squeeze me -"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and several people stumbled into the house. In addition to Miyue, there were also Axia, Sharon and Amy. The last person to walk into the house was Lily.

"I can't help it, she found out the clues." Lily said helplessly.

"Ahem! First of all, let me state that I only came to visit Qiong when I heard that she was ill!" Miyue said firmly, "Although she belongs to the expedition group, Lightning and Maisie are not here, so only we can accompany her. It’s definitely not an attempt to get her into the detective team, let alone—well—”

Axia had already reached out and covered her mouth.

"This is just her personal delusion and has nothing to do with anyone." Sharon said with an upright face.

"Hey, wouldn't it be nice to have one more member?" Amy touched her head in surprise.

"Shh!" Lily made a silencing gesture.

Looking at the group of people fighting among themselves, Roland couldn't help but smile. He looked at Carmilla Darry, spread his hands and shrugged. The latter was slightly startled, and then his expression relaxed a lot.

Maybe something terrible had indeed happened to Joan, but with such a group of people accompanying him, he believed that the other party would be able to get back on track sooner or later.

…

"Hey, what do you think this is?"

"Like a piece of silk..."

"Why is there silk in a medical hospital? And the texture looks very high-end at first glance."

"How about asking Aunt Carmilla."

"...Why don't you ask?"

"I don't dare."

I heard it all. Carmilla, who was sitting by the bed, held her forehead and said, "That was the cloth that Joan used to tie the wound. Because she was too busy at the time, she didn't throw it all away. Be careful of the germs attached to it. Your Majesty said in his book, don't touch it at will. The source of infection, right?”

After Roland and Nightingale left, she and the members of the detective team were the only ones left in the ward. The latter was busy around the hospital bed, and he helped a lot throughout the day. It is undoubtedly a good thing that Joan has such a group of enthusiastic friends. The only problem is that they talk a little too much.

"There are germs on this? Lily, can you feel it?"

"Get it away from me!"

"Hey, don't tear it. Huh? This thing can't be torn... Sharon, help me."

"It seems to be quite difficult to tear...A-Xia wants to try too?"

No, she corrected her, these guys didn't talk too much, they said too much! Just when Carmilla was about to let them go back to the castle on the grounds that "it's not early today, come back tomorrow when you have time", Joan's eyelids suddenly twitched.

She quickly held her breath.

After a few seconds, the girl who had been sleeping slowly opened her eyes.

"Acridine——"

Joan opened her mouth and let out a weak cry.

This silenced the room instantly.

She really can't speak anymore...

Carmilla suppressed her feelings of regret and put her hand on Joan's chest.

In an instant, countless fragments of consciousness poured into her mind like a tide! From the moment she asks a question, she will get an immediate answer. This is spiritual resonance!

She saw herself being infinitely stretched on the dark seabed, like a twisted illusion.

She saw the sky and the ocean upside down, with water pouring down from the sky.

She saw the black rib monsters spread all over the sea, forming waves after waves, charging towards the mainland.

She saw the stone tablets standing layer by layer in the mist, and the woman in white walking towards her.

The last thing that caught his eye was a wide, endless, bottomless circular hole.
