Unknown Knight

Chapter 349 Life hangs by a thread

Although they almost died, the three ladies finally returned to Kudan City safely with the support of each other.

However, as soon as Mrs. Gangde entered the city, she was bedridden due to her serious injuries.

In fact, the one who was most seriously injured among the three ladies was Sophia. She led troops to stop the enemy many times, and stayed behind to cover Gangde at the last moment. She had no less than ten bleeding wounds of varying sizes on her body. Perhaps because her body was special, some of these wounds that looked horrible did not cause her fatal harm. After treatment and bandaging, she recovered very well.

On the other hand, although Mrs. Tsunayoshi had only five or six wounds on her body, all of which were superficial injuries that did not cause any serious damage to the bones, she developed a high fever that very night after the wounds were treated. Moreover, even after hemostatic treatment, the wounds seemed to have difficulty forming scabs and were still bleeding.

After this situation lasted for two days, Mrs. Tsunde's wounds even showed signs of worsening, and she herself fell into a deep coma due to the continued high fever.

This made the entire territory's top leaders feel like they were facing a great enemy. They were extremely nervous. Atiman, who came from Tangquan Fortress, even asked the research institute to set up a treatment team to diagnose Mrs. Tsunde's condition. All the top doctors in the territory were summoned to the city lord's mansion. After examining her, they were all helpless and still could not find the cause of Mrs. Tsunde's worsening condition.

Ever since X suffered a head injury, the territory's political affairs have been handled by Lady Tundra. After rumors spread that X died in the Death Desert, she had to face all kinds of pressure from both inside and outside.

In this situation of internal and external difficulties, she, a weak woman, relied on her own wisdom and virtue, as well as the strong support of the upstarts, to barely maintain the status quo of the territory. It was because of her, the "wisest woman of the Nord" with first-class talent and emotional intelligence, that the territory would have been in chaos long ago.

Now that she is unconscious and Lord Aix is ​​missing, everyone is in panic. This is a major event that will affect the stability of the territory.

Although Atiman and Cress blocked the news immediately, the news somehow got out. People coming in and out of the City Lord's Mansion, and even people in Kudan City, all had gloomy faces. Soon, all kinds of rumors began to spread in the city, making people feel like the weather in the territory at this season, damp, cold, and low, revealing an indescribable depression.

Just when the whole territory was in panic and about to fall into chaos, a team of ridiculous bounty hunters came to the city.

The reason why they are funny is that their bodies and faces are covered with wet mud, as if they were fished out of the mud. They are like mud monkeys, hunched over, shivering with cold, and look both pitiful and funny.

If it were any other time, they would have become the object of spectatorship for the people of Kudan City, and would have been stared at by the residents along the streets. However, no one was in the mood to do so now, and at most they would just watch indifferently from afar.

This team of bounty hunters was none other than Aix and his companions who came in disguise. As soon as they entered the Kingdom of Vigia, they encountered a rainy day. The horses they rode were from the Sarande region, and the horseshoes on their hooves were flat horseshoes that were convenient for traveling in desert areas, without anti-slip spikes.

It was this small negligence that caused the cavalry members to suffer so much. Due to their haste to travel, every member fell many times, with bruised faces and noses and covered in dirty wet mud, looking extremely miserable.

Many horses were injured and some even had broken legs, so they had to be abandoned with great pain.

However, thanks to their ridiculous outfits, the group was able to pass the checkpoints along the way smoothly. No one could have imagined that the Lord of Aix, who was once praised by bards, enjoyed great glory in front of people, and whose name was so long that messengers had to recite it with great effort, was the shivering mud monkey in front of them, with purple lips from the cold.

Especially when they passed through Tismo County, they experienced extremely strict inspections, but their group included both men and women, people of all races and skin colors, which was in line with the characteristics of a bounty hunter team. Coupled with their messy paint jobs covered in mud, they finally passed the inspection without any danger.

After such a careful and strict inspection by Katia's subordinates, Aix was more certain in his heart that the crazy woman Katia had indeed killed the messenger he sent, and his worries increased a little.

However, in order not to alert the enemy, the cavalry did not go directly to the City Lord's Mansion after entering the city, but came to the Holy Cave Mercenary Group's base in the city. The group washed up and prepared to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion later.

Late at night, the area outside Mrs. Tsuna's bedroom was heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to walk around within fifty meters. Despite this, the maids in the distant rooms could still hear faint crying sounds coming from the bedroom. The crying sounds included not only women's, but also deep male voices, which made the maids who were holding their breath and eavesdropping with their ears pricked up couldn't help but speculate.

In the bedroom, Aix patted Atiman on the shoulder. This subordinate, whose entire family was rescued by him and who regarded himself as his old servant, was now in tears.

Then he looked down at Liu Tang who was hugging his legs. He was crying and wailing. Seeing that his snot was about to flow onto his thighs, he kicked him away and said with a sneer:

"Okay, I'm fine. You're crying so hard, someone who doesn't know would think you're here to bury me."

Liu Tang, who was kicked all over the place, didn't care. He wiped the tears from his face with the back of his hand and kept on grinning foolishly.

At this time, Nana's voice came from the bedside of Gangde:

"Diagnosis completed."

After hearing this, everyone in the room calmed down immediately. Even if they had a thousand words to say, they forced themselves to hold back and listened carefully to Nana's diagnosis on the bedside table:

“Mrs. Tsuna is very weak, her internal organs are beginning to fail, she has mild sepsis, and all five wounds on her body are infected and inflamed. Her life is in danger at any time.

The main cause of the disease is the long-term deposition of excessive amounts of hematoxylin in the patient's body. This toxin can cause the patient to have symptoms such as severe decreased immunity, slow wound recovery, mental confusion, inattention, and decreased vision.

If this toxic linalool is not removed in time, even without this physical injury, the patient will suffer from the poisoning six months later and eventually die of organ failure. "

Nana, who was already very humane, judged Aix's doubts from his expression, so she added something, and before he could ask any more questions, she continued:

"Since the patient has been poisoned for too long and is relatively weak, the toxins will be removed slowly. He needs to undergo half an hour of detoxification treatment every day. It is estimated that the toxins will be basically removed after ten days. Please arrange the patient's visit time during this period to avoid delaying the condition."

Only after hearing these words did Aix breathe a sigh of relief. After all, human power is limited, and no matter how powerful the high technology is, it is not omnipotent. No one can guarantee that Tsuna who is so seriously ill can be cured. Fortunately, Nana did not let him down and saved Tsuna who was on the verge of death, once again proving her value as a divine weapon.
