Eden City.
The rcenary guild was bustling with people, and due to the nature of the profession, most of those walking around in the hall were n from various rcenary groups.
rcenary groups are quite common organizations on the Aireland Continent, similar to adventure groups, and they have their own guilds.
However, unlike adventure groups, rcenary groups arose not for the sake of adventure, but to et certain groups’ needs.
For instance, escorts for caravans heading to distant places, clearing mountain bandits, searching for special herbs in certain locations, all those requests that cannot be fulfilled by an individual or small team can be posted as bounties through the rcenary guild, hiring various rcenary groups.
Unlike adventure groups, rcenaries as a whole are not very strong, and not all mbers have combat professions; even ordinary people with slightly stronger physiques can participate.
In Eden City, there are about a hundred rcenary groups. Among them, only three or four are strong and well-known.
The Tree Hunter rcenary group is one of them.
Inside the hall, in front of the service window, a grim-faced green-haired man cloaked and dressed as a swordsman, with a long sword at his waist, exuded a chilling aura.
This man was Shute, the leader of the Tree Hunter rcenary group, known for having the Sli Hundred Beams Kill Honor Badge.
The Tree Hunter rcenary group, a group contracted for hunting Tree Spirits in Eden City and its surrounding areas, although their main business was tree hunting, also frequently took on various shady jobs.
Helping underground casino loan shark gangs violently collect debts from citizens; robbing gem transport caravans; stealing gold; disguising as thugs to beat up common folks demanding overdue wages...
As long as the price was high enough, no shady job was off the table.
The reason Shute ca to the rcenary guild was simple.
"Mr. Shute, y-you... hello,"
The receptionist looked nervously at the face that looked like it had swallowed a ton of gunpowder, afraid to say sothing wrong.
"Are you sure... you want to change the na of your rcenary group?"
"That’s right."
Shute nodded expressionlessly.
"Then, okay..."
The receptionist swallowed hard.
Half of Eden City already knew about Shute’s situation.
More than half a month ago, Shute had ridden into Eden City in a sorry state. He was covered in an unknown liquid, his body was full of red spots, his clothes were in disarray, and the first thing he did upon returning to the city was rush to the best hospital.
Shute was initially a sowhat renowned and capable figure in Eden City. Because of this incident, he drew attention for quite so ti, and nobody knew exactly what had happened. But everyone speculated that he had encountered a strong enemy, been defeated, and then humiliated before being allowed to return.
However, such matters weren’t discussed openly.
How could she, just a small receptionist, dare to inquire?
"Please wait for a mont then."
The receptionist quickly went to handle Shute’s request.
In front of the window, Shute’s expression was grim, and his hands clasped tightly once more, as if even rocks in his palm would be crushed to powder.
Reflecting on his half month lying in the hospital, he felt on the brink of madness, desperate to destroy everything he saw.
...
Back to that ti.
Attempting to steal gold in the forest, he encountered a Poisonous Sli and was sprayed with its poisonous sli liquid. After being defeated in battle, Shute could only flee the forest in disgrace and return to the city for treatnt.
Supported by his identity and money, he successfully transferred to an advanced ward and imdiately had an attending doctor co for treatnt.
Inside the advanced ward.
The attending doctor rushed inside.
Disheveled hair, dirty clothes, covered in red rash, itching so badly his eyes seed to bulge out, Shute hurriedly looked over.
"Doctor, quickly check my body! What are these symptoms!"
The doctor trembled slightly.
"Mr. Shute, you’re covered in a red rash, your body scratched to bleeding in many places, eyes bloodshot... this is the highly contagious Black Rat Plague!"
"Don’t just glance at it and flee, you bastard! Are you a doctor or not! This was from the Poisonous Sli liquid when I accidentally touched it during battle, not so Black Rat Plague!"
"Oh, oh, I see... so it was the Poisonous Sli sprayed liquid..."
"So what should I do? I feel like I’m going to shed a layer of skin!"
"Such widespread rash and itching, in all my years, it’s the first ti I’ve seen such a situation."
The attending doctor couldn’t co up with any ideas, falling into thought.
"Then at least give so anti-itch dication."
Shute was in agony.
If this continued, he really would scratch his skin off.
"dication can’t be taken randomly."
The attending doctor frowned and sternly refused.
"I had a batch of male rcenaries with similar symptoms before. If safety asures aren’t properly in place during unauthorized intimate encounters, diseases can indeed be transmitted, leading to these symptoms. Later on, these rashes would beco purulent and ooze, quite disgusting."
"You’re talking about the Star Disease! Don’t mix them up!"
"Regarding Poisonous Sli, I really have no clue for now. In any case, first wash off, get the remaining liquid off your body, and don’t let the symptoms worsen!"
The advanced ward had a washroom, and the attending doctor quickly prepared everything, after turning on the showerhead, he anxiously looked at Shute.
