Chapter 33: Zombie Doctor

  With the flesh and blood of over thirty live chickens and two live sheep, the ghoul Tyrant, who had already lost his soul fire and was on the verge of dispersing, struggled to come back to life.

  Well, saying he came back to life isn't quite right, because no matter how spirited a ghost is, it's still a ghost, but at least Tyrant can move on his own now.

  To help the hardworking and only surviving corpse, Luo Wei asked slave trader Colenwe to find some sturdy needles and threads, and then personally sewed up the terrifying wounds on the corpse of Tarrant.

  Although he was a full-time forensic doctor before crossing over, Luo Wei still had no problem with external injury suturing.

  "Respected Mr. Luo Wei, is this how a Corpse Stitching Demon is made?"

  The slave trader, who had plucked up the courage to give Rovi a hand, asked in a slightly subdued tone due to the stench-proof mask he was wearing, his gaze falling on the curved stitches that Rovi himself had sewn.

  "Stitching a corpse demon?" Rove's eyes widened for a moment before he realized that the other party was referring to the Necromancer's own creation, so Rove shook his head and replied: "No, this has nothing to do with stitching a corpse demon. It's just a normal wound suture technique, its effect is only to stop bleeding and accelerate wound recovery... oh, when used on an undead, it only has the effect of accelerating wound recovery."

  It's not a secret that can't be spread outside, so Luo Wei explained to the curious slave trader in a tone that wasn't too serious.

  "Is the effect just stopping bleeding and accelerating wound recovery?" The slave trader's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly asked in a tentative tone: "Mr. Luo Wei, may I understand that this kind of wound suturing technique can be used on living people?"

  "In fact, it was originally developed as a medical technology for living people."

  Rovin shrugged his shoulders; he had already roughly guessed what the slave trader Kolenweh was up to.

  In the Bloodsaber Clan's raid on the Running Bull Inn, many of Kolren Wier's men were killed or wounded.

  Not to mention the ordinary merchant team guards who were seriously injured, just the deputy captain of the guard team, Sakradin, with a chest that had been chopped into a bloody mess, and the still unconscious captain Sinsia, was already enough to give the slave trader Kolenwey a headache.

  The only two things that slightly improved Kolonwi's mood as a slave trader were that only about a dozen slaves escaped from the backyard, and the private goods hidden in the long-haired beast's den were still safe and sound.

  It was precisely because the merchant caravan's guards were heavily killed and wounded that the slave trader Koranwi would become more reckless, following behind Luo Wei's horseback with his own dry rations to provide service.

  If Rove were to leave now, the slave trader would think it's easy for a group of bandits to come, or Lord Nelson of Asrate to play a temporary role as a bandit, and he and his caravan would probably die without a burial place.

  So at least during this period of time, no one wished more than Colonel Corney that his men could quickly recover their health.

  Rovi can understand the thoughts of slave trader Colenwe, because Rovi's reason for rescuing corpse Talante is actually identical to Colenwe's current mentality.

  All melee mages need a meat shield, let alone Rove who is a fake mage with no other attack magic available except for Black Ice Skull.

  "Medical technology developed for the living... could it have an effect similar to Sacred Healing or Nature's Touch?"

  Because Luo Wei explained it carefully, he felt that the matter in his heart should be a slave trader, and asked again.

  "It's not that magical, it can only accelerate wound recovery and reduce the chances of infection and suppuration."

  Rove shook his head, dashing the eager hopes of the slave trader. As he spoke, Rove sewed the final stitch into Talend's belly, tied a knot and snipped off the thread with a pair of dull scissors.

  Apart from the homemade curved suture needle, Rove didn't have any other professional surgical instruments, which greatly reduced his surgical efficiency. Moreover, no disinfection was performed at all... Fortunately, the one who received the suturing surgery was the undead Tyrant, if it were a living person, they would probably die from wound infection even if they didn't die from pain.

  "Let's go and take a look at the wounded caravan members, if I can save them then I'll try to. " Luo Wei moved his somewhat stiff neck vertebrae and added in a muttering tone: "As long as they don't fear this undead wizard, it will be fine."

  Korvus was taken aback, and only then did he recall that Rove's identity wasn't a pastor or druid, but rather an undead warlock who consorted with corpses and ghosts.

  "Lack of equipment to cure the dead is not a problem, at least some of those who were originally doomed to die will survive due to your treatment. Mr. Luo Wei Wu Shi, you definitely don't know how my subordinates are evaluating you now, they say you must be impersonating the hot spring goddess's pastor as a ghost sorcerer."

  Afterwards, slave trader Koranwi responded thusly.

  It's probably because of the hot springs' healing effects that in the world of Aitern, the Hot Spring Goddess is one of the most well-known benevolent deities, and the main divine duty of the gentle and approachable Hot Spring Goddess has always been to heal.

  The hot spring goddess, like the pastors who walk in the secular world, are naturally also the most respected "good doctors", but the pastors of the hot spring goddess mostly live in mountainous areas with many hot springs and rarely travel around.

  So this answer brought a smile to Luo Wei's face - the priest of the hot spring goddess? Ha, I'm an authentic zombie doctor.

  However, Rowan spent the whole afternoon rescuing the dying Tarrant, but he didn't just rescue Tarrant, and indeed gave a few pointers to slave trader Corwin on how to treat large numbers of burn victims and trauma patients.

  To be fair, the rescue methods guided by Luo Wei, whether intentionally or unintentionally, were just a small part of the overall situation, but they were enough to turn the originally chaotic and disorganized rescue scene into one that was slightly more organized and coordinated.

  Although the big fire has been extinguished, the Running Bull Inn is almost completely destroyed. The wounded members of the slave merchant group were all placed in several empty civilian houses about 100 meters away from the Running Bull Inn.

  The corpses of those bloody blade bandits were still scattered all over the place where they died, and the busy slave traders didn't have anyone to collect the bodies. The Asrate town guards who should have taken on this task never showed up, only some townspeople who came to help put out the fire gathered in the distance to watch.

  However, the personal belongings on those bandit corpses had all been looted by the slave trader Colenwei's men.

  "Lord Nelson took nearly half of the town guard out hunting and hasn't returned yet."

  Coulaine the slave trader suddenly said this, speaking as he looked in the direction of Lord Nelson's estate, ruler of Aslart.

  It was clear that the slaver Koralin's words were meant for Rove, and he was hinting at a problem with Lord Nelson.

  According to the laws of the Kingdom of Gadon, commoners who accuse nobles without evidence are all guilty of false accusation.
