Huaiya looked at Putilai in confusion, but the latter just frowned and waved his hands secretly.
Ramon looked at the Prince of the Stars incomprehensibly.
What is he doing?
Until Thales smiled, stared at Ramon, and rubbed the side of his forehead.
He spoke slowly:
"Willow said you are from the royal capital, Yongxing City? I looked through the doctors' roster in the city hall... but why have I never heard of your name?"
Putilai on the side frowned secretly: The prince has been staying in Mindis Hall since he was recognized. When has he ever been to the City Hall?
Are you still looking at the doctor's roster?
God, there are hundreds of doctors in the entire royal capital, including the neighboring territories and suburbs!
Ramon smiled awkwardly: "Oh, I only treat some poor people and charge a small fee... so I'm probably not on the register..."
Thales frowned slightly, then smiled.
"Poor, right?" the second prince asked rudely: "Then I guess the place where you visit is Xiacheng District?"
He continued to look at Ramon and rubbed the fingers on his forehead.
Ramon nodded unnaturally: "Ah, yes... many poor people live there... I used to be in the second district of the lower city..."
The second prince did not let him continue, and Thales breathed out softly: "I also heard that that is the territory of the Black Street Brotherhood?"
Ramon's breath hitched unconsciously.
"Although it's inappropriate to say this in front of you... gangs are indeed rampant in the downtown area." Ramon looked around cautiously, not noticing that he had unknowingly begun to answer Tails' step-by-step questions.
Thales twirled his fingers slightly and stared at Ramon uneasily: "Then tell me, if they - the Black Street Brotherhood people are injured and sick, will they also come to invite you, dear Ramon?
Where is the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment?”
After saying this, Thales showed an innocent smile that a seven-year-old boy should have and looked directly at Ramon.
"How is it possible? We don't dare to deal with those gangsters." Ramon changed the subject awkwardly: "Your Highness, with all due respect, the situation of the gentleman on the bed is not good...not as good as ours..."
"Ah, really," Thales suddenly showed a pleasant smile: "But that's not what you think in your heart."
Ramon was stunned.
In your heart?
But Thales' next words made Ramon's eyes widen.
"You seem to have treated many people from the fraternity?" Thales put one hand on his temple, and the other seemed to be desperately trying to remember something.
"Well, a guy with a knife, ah, that guy looks pretty ruthless, but he doesn't like to talk very much... But for gangsters, it's normal to have people like this..."
Ramon suddenly looked strange.
Get a knife.
ruthless.
Don't like to talk.
A figure matching the description appeared in his mind.
But how could that kid...
Thales stared at him playfully:
"What's his name...Leyok?"
"It seems that he often comes to you for treatment. From the looks of it, he can't be a killer, right?"
Ramon's expression changed.
Killer Leyoke.
The Thirteenth General of the Brotherhood, the Silent Killer who is as ruthless to his enemies as he is to himself - Ramon often takes care of the horrific wounds left behind after fierce battles.
But how does he know?
Putilai and others on the side looked at each other.
How is this going?
"Let me see, there is a black-decorated room with a still life painting of a fruit vase hanging on the fireplace..." Thales closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and seemed to be trying his best to remember:
"Ah, there's a lot of blood. One stab wound was on the left shoulder... God, he almost bit his teeth through the pain. He grabbed your collar tightly and muttered something about 'venomous sting' and 'scorpion whip'..."
"Who is the crying woman next to you? She is very beautiful... her name is... Belicia?"
Ramon gritted his teeth.
Isn't he a pampered prince?
How could he know that I treated Leyock's injury a year ago?
Leyock went to assassinate the target, but was ambushed by the Blood Bottle Gang.
Is it information from the secret department?
No.
Impossible... Ramon's face was livid, and he thought with a chill:
Because even the details of the main house of the Black Street Headquarters and Layok's room...
He knows everything so clearly.
Even I can barely remember it.
And Belicia was crying next to her...
"Don't stop, doctor," Thales rubbed the side of his forehead, opened his eyes and smiled: "Think about it, who else from the fraternity have you diagnosed and treated? Are there anyone with higher levels? Think about it quickly.
…Ah, that’s right…”
fraternity.
A higher level...
Ramon found himself starting to tremble slightly.
"A fat man... what did you call him? Maurice? Why does he always like to meet you at the back door of a bar? At first he brought an ugly dog with him, always smiling. Does he know you very well?"
Ramon suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Morris, one of the Big Six?
Regarding that matter, my direct contact person was indeed Morris.
The secret meeting place is in the back alley of Sunset Bar...
But how is this possible?
Morris makes sure it's safe every time.
unless……
He didn't want to think about that possibility.
Ramon tried his best to clear his mind, but Thales' words always made him unable to help but recall the scenes in his memory.
"Let's take a look at some fun memories..."
memory?
"Hey, this is a... big guy?" Thales grinned and said slowly: "He has a fierce look on his face. He doesn't look like much, but he has a pretty bad temper."
"It's so pitiful that the injury is in a place like his crotch...I mean you, doctor! You actually want to treat his injury."
"Oh, it's because his father is very cruel, right?"
Ramon looked at the mysterious second prince with the most incredible expression.
Does he even know this?
"Come to think of it, what's his name? Oh, Rhoda?"
Thales smiled softly and said:
"Is he your most troublesome patient?"
"Quaid Roda?"
Putilai, Huaiya and others were even more confused.
Ramon opened his lips unconsciously, and his palms were already sweaty.
Quaid?
Rhoda's son?
His injuries...are indeed the ones I went to examine and treat.
But this is only known to the top cadres within the Brotherhood.
Nothing could be more secretive.
How does a prince know that?
Ramon looked at Thales blankly.
Thales sighed, released his right hand, stared at Ramon, and sneered.
"Don't be surprised, this is my superpower."
"Yes, Dr. Ramon."
The next moment, Thales smiled and spoke a simple and effective sentence to the stunned Ramon:
"I can read minds."
Ramon stared at Thales blankly, his mind going blank.
Thales continued to smile brightly: "Whatever you think is mine."
Read minds.
Putilai, Huaiya, and Rolf all looked at the second prince with their mouths wide open.
Ada frowned tightly and stared at the back of Thales' head.
Mind reading?
Ramon struggled with his expression, showing the most disbelieving expression.
No.
Even in the Soul Tower's Notes...mind reading is the most untouchable field.
And he is obviously only seven or eight years old, but he has such...
No.
The Brotherhood Doctor shook his head unconsciously.
Thales turned his head and looked at Putilai, Huaiya, Rolf and others who looked shocked.
But Ada on the side crossed her arms with a suspicious look on her face.
"Please keep it a secret for me," Thales showed a bright smile: "When he trained me to use this ability, he didn't want others to know..."
"But I trust you."
"Train...you?" Putilai asked in disbelief: "Who?"
"Who else could it be?" Thales laughed happily and turned his head.
He looked at Ramon, who looked frightened, and said a name happily:
"Morat Hansen."
There was silence.
Everyone in the audience stared blankly at Thales.
It's like he's some kind of monster.
Ramon looked at Thales blankly.
Morat Hansen.
He knows the meaning of this name.
Lancer's teacher.
Star's nightmare for half a century.
A poisonous snake in the night.
Head of the Secret Service.
No way.
The new prince of the stars is a student of the Black Prophet?
Of course, Thales secretly thought: Morat would be more comfortable using this so-called "ability" - after all, he could detect the other party's lies to assist the next question.
But fortunately, the chips he has are not bad either.
Everyone in the audience reacted.
"You never said..." Putilai frowned: "With the Black Prophet..."
"Ah," Thales sighed softly: "You know, after all, powers like mine are too rare."
"Let's come to the most direct part," Thales reappeared as a friendly seven-year-old boy, rubbed the side of his forehead, and said with a smile, "Come on, think about your true identity, Dr. Ramon."
"Do you mind letting me know?"
Ramon trembled slightly and stared blankly at the ground.
My identity?
No.
my identity.
That would expose...that would expose the fraternity...that would expose the man...
No!
Can't think about it.
Can't think about it!
"That's right, so this is your identity," Thales rubbed his forehead, looked at Ramon who was nervous and absent-minded, and showed a victorious smile: "No wonder I have read the roster, but I have no impression of your name.
Woolen cloth."
"It turns out you're not just a secret black doctor who treats the Brotherhood."
He narrowed his eyes:
"You are basically a member of the Black Street Brotherhood."
"The one nicknamed Weird Doctor..."
"Cobb Sirka Ramon."
Ramon's hands dropped unconsciously.
My full name…
Thales put down his fingers and concluded.
This is all he knows - Thales told himself secretly.
Hope it works.
During the four years in the brotherhood, a little beggar who was tightly controlled was begging hard every day for food, clothing and livelihood... and was always ignored.
Therefore, he, the former beggar Thales, could always learn many secrets of the Brotherhood without attracting attention.
For example, with a thin body, he crawled through the dog hole and heard the fight between Leyock and the goblins of Belicia - ahem - to find out the secrets of their rooms. Who said Leyock's room was in the corner of the big house, the closest to the periphery?
.
For example, I would wait in the back alley of the Sunset Bar every night, and once I was sure that no one was there - such as Morris and his angry wolf dog - I would sneak in and look through the day's trash.
Of course, the most important thing is the strange-looking doctor in front of me.
Strange doctor Ramon.
He appeared in the fraternity only rarely, and always with his head covered.
But don’t underestimate beggars’ memory and recognition abilities.
In order to survive, they must identify the figure and posture of every passerby in order to survive.
Which one is poor, which one is rich, which one does hard work, which one is pampered, which ones can steal, which ones can only beg, which ones cannot even get close...not to mention that they are always beaten by thugs.
Greeting - who are your friends?
"When he appears, you just get away, do you understand?" - This is what Quaid said while holding up the collar of a poor boy.
The strange doctor always appears after the Brotherhood's "big operation". When he comes, he smells of potion, and when he leaves, he smells of blood - obviously to treat injured people: Thales, who had just returned late one day after digging a secret tunnel
Lying secretly on the side of the road, I saw Leyock being carried back and the terrible wound on his shoulder that was bleeding profusely.
Then the figure of Ramon appeared.
Beggar Tails, I remember this figure at that time.
Prince Thales also remembered this figure at this time.
And Quaid, who is often drunk - this name is so old that Thales has almost forgotten him - he will go to "check up" regularly, but every time he comes back, he brings the strange doctor's unique potion.
Taste.
Every time Quaid came back from an "examination", he would be angry and drunkenly. When he was beating the beggar, he would occasionally mention the full name of the strange doctor.
Cobb Sirka Ramon.
Thales buried the past memories in his mind.
It's a pity that this magical "mind reading"... only works for Ramon.
Ramon was sweating profusely.
But he breathed a sigh of relief.
fortunately.
Fortunately, he didn't read out my true identity...
That fatal secret...
"etc,"
Thales observed Ramon's expression and shook his head:
"It seems that your identity is not that simple?"
Of course - Thales thought to himself: He only knew Ramon's name and nickname, but how could a guy who went in and out of the fraternity and often met with high-level officials be a simple doctor?
"Could it be...do you have any other secrets?" he asked quietly.
Thales looked at him with deep eyes, and the seven-year-old boy slowly raised his finger: "Come on, think about it carefully."
Ramon trembled involuntarily.
The scene is a little weird.
An old man shivered in front of a nervous boy.
Something else.
secret.
No.
"No!"
Ramon cried out in horror.
He didn't dare to look at Thales and lowered his head in fear.
"I……"
"Please...please stop..."
"I……"
Thales narrowed his eyes.
"Don't be too surprised. I've seen your expression a lot." Thales stretched.
"From criminals," Thales rolled his neck and whispered with satisfaction, "to kings."
Ramon bit his lip bitterly.
"To be honest." Thales stared at Ramon: "I am the Prince of the Stars, the sole heir of this country, and you are just a gangster."
"I'm not interested in you at all."
"I don't want to care about your secrets either."
"It's just that for matters involving myself..." He said lightly: "So,"
"Before I tear your clumsy lies to pieces and dig all your dirty little secrets out of that big head of yours... Dr. Lamont - tell me why you insist on following.
Shall we go north?"
"Save me the trouble of digging into your brain for boring stuff..."
Ramon was shocked.
Yes.
And those...
secret.
"I understand, Your Highness," Ramon said bitterly: "I will be honest about my purpose..."
"Thank you for your cooperation. After all, this mind-reading ability is not easy to use... I can only maintain it for a short period of time." Thales sighed, put down his right hand, and said with a sly smile: "Use it next time
, we have to wait until tomorrow.”
Ramon shuddered slightly again.
"Oh, and you can start diagnosis and treatment." Thales pointed to Jorah with a smile: "We wasted a lot of time."
Ramon lowered his head dejectedly.
Others looked at their prince with different expressions.
It was like meeting him for the first time.
——————————
"The Blood Bottle Gang? Nekra and Kathleen?" Thales frowned.
Rolf behind him trembled slightly unconsciously.
Kathleen…
Big sister head?
"Yes, I am hiding from them," Ramon's expression was deep and mysterious. He was holding potions, scissors, and strips of cloth, tending to Jorah's injuries. His eyes glanced at Thales from time to time, flashing fear: "Of course, you
I’ve never heard of these people’s names…”
Thales's heart moved.
The scene of Necra, the big man in red, fighting with Eastlund in the Manor of Manor came to mind.
"I have been chased by them for six or seven days, and I just hid in the fortress - but it is only a matter of time before they discover my location. As long as I stay around, they will eventually catch me."
"And Exeter and Xingchen are about to fight again... If I appear alone in the wild and encounter any army, my end will not be better than falling into the hands of the blood bottle helper..."
"So, when we came here and looked for a doctor," Thales pondered: "You had a sudden idea and expected to use our cover to leave Broken Dragon Fortress? Leave only after we get to Exeter?"
Ramon nodded bitterly.
Really suspicious.
Thales said secretly.
Why would a secret doctor who was making a living in the royal capital come to the border between the two countries?
"A member was injured at the border," Ramon said silently, not daring to look at Thales: "I came over for treatment...but was discovered by the Blood Bottle Gang."
No, Thales thought to himself: a gangster doctor who was only responsible for treating injuries really reached the point where the Blood Bottle Gang sent out manpower to pursue him at the border for six or seven days?
There are some other secrets.
It's a pity... I just told him that the "mind reading skill" cannot be used until tomorrow, otherwise I can scare him again.
Thales nodded and said: "Continue the treatment. Seeing as you are so frank, maybe I will reconsider it."
Ramon nodded sadly.
Thales exhaled and jumped off the seat, but suddenly felt numbness under his legs.
Thanks to the support of Wyatt and Rolf, he didn't fall down.
Oops, for the sake of performance, I just sat for too long - Thales stood up with difficulty.
Fortunately, the fluctuation that had appeared since his "death" spontaneously surged up again to relieve his numbness.
By the way, Thales beat his legs worriedly: This wave, this power, is also the source of trouble. Although it feels like it can instantly enhance his condition, the amplitude seems a bit small - just enough for him to cut the rope.
.
And - Thales thought worriedly: What exactly is it?
It's the kind of vision that looks like having thermal radiation detection turned on, which looks very dazzling...
Thales thought about this and guided the wave around his eyes.
That magical vision appears again.
He turned his head and saw that everyone was radiating light.
Ada is a dazzling white light, Waiya is a sharp gray light, Putilai is full of soft purple light, and Rolf is a continuous cyan shimmer.
Are these different forces? Vitality? Or energy attributes?
Thales tested his vision curiously.
He turned towards the house.
The next moment, Thales was stunned.
In the vision that the fluctuation gave him, he saw the most incredible scene.
The light on Jorah's body flickered on and off at the moment, like a dim light that was about to go out at any moment.
But Ramon…
There is no dazzling light on Ramon.
But it seems to be emitting strange dark fluctuations one after another, resonating with the surrounding world.
But that's not what surprised Thales.
Ramon was seen gently pressing Jorah's wound.
Visible particles of light emerged from Jorah's body, which flickered in and out, and converged on Ramon's hand.
Those trembling light particles followed Ramon's hand and slid across Jorah's wound.
Particles of light seeped into Jorah's horrific festering wounds one by one.
Every little bit penetrates.
The light on Jorah is a little more stable and a little brighter.
Like a dying patient slowly recovering.
Thales looked at Ramon blankly.
Others may not be able to see clearly because of the light.
But in the vision that the fluctuation gave Thales, he could see it clearly.
I saw the strange doctor in a dark corner, his lips trembling slightly.
It's like he's mumbling something.
As he chanted loudly and regularly, the light particles emanating from Jorah's body passed through Ramon's hands rhythmically, and then returned to Jorah's body, completing a cycle.
