The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 747 Ask the Herbalist for Advice
The local herbalist is a middle-aged woman who is pretty but sad and calm. She doesn't seem to welcome Xie Yuan's arrival.

In other words, in fact, the entire Baiguoyuan Village has a very subtle attitude towards Xie Yuan.

In terms of skin color and appearance, Xie Yuan is obviously not a local. With his black hair, he is more inclined to a Nilfgaardian. In addition, Xie Yuan has been working for the Nilfgaard garrison. They have subconsciously returned Xie Yuan to Into the camp of the men in black.

Even though he has hosted a lot of treatment work for the return of captives, even treated people politely, restrained the Nepalese soldiers as much as possible to treat the people in the occupied area as equals, and even helped Baiguo Village recover the lumberyard occupied by monsters just now, but the village will not be moved. Thank you Yuan for what you do.

Because in their view, these disasters were originally caused by the men in black, including Xie Yuan.

In particular, there was a pale girl with a dull expression on the bed of the herbalist, lying unconscious.

Seeing this unlucky girl, Xie Yuan had no choice but to spit at the Nilfgaardian garrison—it was a bastard who killed and ignored, and was blind and irresponsible.

Some time ago, the Nilfgaardian garrison who just occupied White Orchard Village was not so quiet, and their patrols can be said to be reckless.

They dare not do large-scale evil deeds, such as large-scale looting and massacres, because it is too close to Vizima, the capital of Temeria, and the palace of the current emperor Emhyr—the emperor also wants to save face and cannot let other people Displeased with a bad reputation.

But small bad things, bullying the weak, setting up card fees on the road, randomly designating someone as a spy and arresting... There is only what they want to do, there is nothing they can't do, anyway, these victims can only dare not speak out—— What else?Who told Temeria's defense battle to fail!

But sometimes it depends on the person and the situation. For example, after eating, drinking and having fun recently, a patrol team went to a wild barren mountain drunk.

It's hard to say whether this was deliberately used by someone with a heart, but the result of the incident was that they directly killed a female griffin while they were drunk, and then burned the griffin's eggs and nest.

Then they were all wiped out by the male griffins who came back, leaving no corpses!
The missing patrol team was found immediately, and at the same time they also discovered the griffin lair destroyed by the patrol team - Captain Guan Li even wanted to see if he could arrange some crossbowmen to ambush the other male griffin The beast was shot, but it was clear that the male griffin would not fly back to this broken lair.

And this was only the beginning of the disaster for the Nilfgaardian garrison and Baiguo Village.

Every day, the entire horse team outside the village and the lonely pedestrians will be violently attacked by the griffin beasts. Most of them are dead without whole bodies, and few survived.

In the end, except for the heavily guarded temporary garrison and the big village of Baiguo Village where the griffins dare not attack, there is no place that is not easy to be attacked by the griffins.

Now, apart from patrolling Baiguo Village and the surrounding area with two-man cavalry patrols, there are almost no large-scale patrols in other places-for fear of going out and becoming bait for griffins.

On the contrary, the safe way now is to use a freight carriage. It is difficult for the Griffon to catch up with moving things. Might come back for nothing.

This strategy was proposed by Xie Yuan to Captain Guan Li, but unfortunately, there was a great price to do so: except for the necessary traffic arteries, Nilfgaard had actually lost control of the vast area nearby. Will the Temerian resistance forces and road bandits have taken root in some places, and are trying to expand and strengthen their forces.

In a short period of time, their size and offensive ability are not good, but what about after that?Hmph... If social stability is the goal, the mess of the Griffin beast should be cleaned up as soon as possible, and then the basic control over these areas should be restored.

But if it is to destroy Nilfgaard's logistical operations, it is indeed a very good state, and we should find a way to prolong it, so as to wait for the resistance to gradually grow and make the chaos more intense.

Xie Yuan has no specific preference for the invasion of Nilfgaard and the resistance of Temeria—his original body was born in Vizima, but his hair color and appearance have returned to the unique black hair and brown color of oriental people Hitomi's characteristics, can no longer be considered a local.Even because of the same hair color, Xie Yuan should be a little more supportive of the Nilfgaardian Empire.

So the best choice is not to choose until a certain moment, just keep it in the middle.

As for why it is irresponsible?Because there are people in the Nilfgaardian garrison who know the general situation of this girl, and as the invisible leader of the wounded battalion, and a person who has a good relationship with the garrison, he naturally knows the general situation of this girl.

Simply put?There is a plot similar to "Madama Butterfly", where a young Nilfgaardian soldier falls in love with a local peasant girl.

Is this relationship for carnal desire or genuine mutual attraction?Xie Yuan didn't know—because he was narrow-minded as a fellow garrison, and he didn't know how to arrange it.

Xie Yuan didn't meet the Nepali client—in fact, this was the first time he saw the woman?On the night of their tryst, they were attacked by a griffin beast, and the man and the woman suffered some skin trauma, but the woman's condition was not good-she was scratched by her claws and injured her brain.

The griffin's claws have toxins that can cause internal bleeding, so the young woman likely suffered an intracranial hemorrhage.

The girl's parents had already given up on her—because she crossed the line of falling in love with the man in black, she was not tolerated by the village... She has been placed in the herbalist's house since she was injured.

Cerebral hemorrhage is already a very dangerous symptom. If it continues like this, people will die, not to mention, it may even be a painful death.

The death of this girl is not a good result—at least for Guan Li, she means two warnings: the man in black is irresponsible and always abandons; cooperating with the man in black will not end well.

According to the normal worldview here, the basic medicine is hard to save—even for brain surgery in the 21st century, the chief surgeon is not a 30-year-experienced doctor, so he dare not do it.

Xie Yuan can be saved. His multi-tool has a military-grade medical module, which can perform minimally invasive repairs on brain blood vessels. At the same time, he can use nerve splints to heal nerve endings to minimize the sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage.

Just one question.

"What did you say? You mean that you can save this poor girl, but ask for the whole place to be closed?!"

Herbalist Tomil looked at Xie Yuan with disgust on his face: "What is your technology? Surgery or magic? If it is the former, I will never perform surgery, but you say you can become a brain surgery alone? ! If you are a medical student, do you speak human language?
Could it be magic?Even if it is magic, will I, a herbalist, steal your magic? "

"Neither of them," Xie Yuan shook his head, "but this is my personal and exclusive method, and I cannot show it to others, but I can guarantee that it is still possible to stop the brain hemorrhage and restore most of the patient's nervous responses."

But Tomil frowned and thought for a while, and shook his head hesitantly: "Sorry, I know you are a good person, but I can't trust you yet—your herbal medicine level is not even an entry level, which is used for Any treatment is in vain.

Now I have roughly stabilized her condition, but the prospect is worrisome, she may die in a coma, but if you mess with her and let her die in pain, it would be a serious crime. "

"Then teach me how to use local herbs!"

"But it's not that I don't want to teach you. I can sell you some local herbs in the north, but I'm not qualified to teach you... Please don't embarrass me." Tomil fell into an inexplicable state when he said this. The depression seems to be a person with a story.

In the end, Xie Yuan still proposed to buy some herbal medicine books or related formula materials. Tomil did not object to this. At the same time, he also asked the herbalist how to use the captured monster organization.

But unfortunately, the herbalist told Xie Yuan that, generally speaking, ordinary herbal medicines and mineral powders can produce many real medicines suitable for ordinary people.

The place where the monster organization is really used is for the manufacture of alchemy potions, secret medicines and potions—most of these are the secrets hidden by magicians and demon hunters, and Tomil also There are only a few witcher recipes here and there.

But there has been no demon hunter here for more than ten years, and the demon hunter potion produced by the secret recipe is highly poisonous to ordinary people, and it is basically useless.

Xie Yuan wanted to print a copy of the demon hunter's potion formula and study it, but this Tomiler did not refuse, after all, Xie Yuan paid the money very readily.

But before leaving, Xie Yuan still suggested: "In the past few days, I will be busy with chores here. If there is really no hope, come to me again—as long as she still has a breath, I can save her, but the condition is still the same. .”

Tomil didn't completely refuse, but just said: "Let me think about it."

Xie Yuan, who had left the local herbalist's hut, returned to the lumberyard. In a short while, several hardworking farmers and women were working together to clean up the monster's remains, preparing to dig a hole for burial.

On the contrary, several other peasant women knelt in front of the cart and wept loudly over the tightly wrapped corpse, as if they were saying goodbye to the past and welcoming a new, but not so good future...

However, before Xie Yuan could take a breather, the cavalry who had just finished reporting the letter suddenly saw Xie Yuan running over with his horse: "Your Excellency Yuan, Captain Guan Li wants to see you right away, please get on this horse and go over quickly." !"

what happened again?Xie Yuan was really puzzled, but he still jumped onto the horse in one go.

"Yeah! Let's go!" Pulling up the reins skillfully, he controlled the horse and galloped away. In Kabul, Xie Yuan's horse riding skills have been studied for many years, and he has already mastered it by heart.

"Oh! Your Excellency Yuan is really not from this place." Looking at Xie Yuan's far away back, the cavalry muttered and commented, "Even the way of riding a horse is different, but it is indeed rich in experience."
