Just after entering the courtyard, a woman in a linen robe approached, respectfully greeting Emrich.
Emrich smiled back at her and pointed to his tribesn, saying, "They are all reserve tribe mbers who joined today. On their way here, they fought multiple battles with the Segestica people, and so were injured. I want to take them to the dical area for a thorough check-up."
The woman nodded and said, "The treatnt area is currently not busy, you can take them there directly... Oh, by the way, Nexia is also there, you should manage your people well!"
Nexia is also there!... Emrich’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned back to remind his tribesn entering the courtyard to maintain order.
In fact, after Nexia married Maximus, she continued working in the dical Departnt as usual and didn’t think herself more noble. The doctors and nurses, having known her for a long ti, didn’t change their attitude toward her; it was just that others showed her more respect because of her status as the leader’s wife.
The hospital in Snowdonia is divided into three parts: the consultation area, the treatnt area, and the wards, with the wards mainly located in another building.
Bringing his tribesn to the front of the treatnt area, Emrich once again reminded them to line up and keep quiet, then he went in first.
Sure enough, he found Nexia in the courtyard of the treatnt area, chatting happily with Florist Luscia, complete with light-hearted laughter from Florist Luscia.
Emrich felt happy; after months of recuperation in the hospital, Florist Luscia’s condition had improved and she’d developed an interest in dicine. With Leader Maximus’s approval, she stayed in the hospital working as a nurse while learning dical skills... It seed she had freed herself from her nightmarish past and beco cheerful.
"Sage!" Florist Luscia, being sharp-eyed, noticed Emrich first and waved to him.
"Child, you look very well!" Emrich smiled kindly and then bowed to Nexia, "Madam!"
"Emrich, you’ve co here too — now there’s no one left in the dical Departnt!" Nexia also smiled, half-jokingly yet sincerely.
"I received an order from the leader to go to the border of Westeni to et a group of my tribesn who fled from the Segetisca Territory and brought them to register as reserve tribe mbers in our tribe. However, many of them were injured, so I brought them to the hospital—"
Before Emrich could finish his sentence, Nexia eagerly said, "Then why are you hesitating? Quickly call them all in! I ca here because there’s nothing to do in the dical Departnt, and I wanted to help out. I didn’t expect there to be so few patients lately. Even the reserve tribe mbers who often got injured during rugby gas haven’t been coming in these past few days. I was just thinking of going to the wards to find sothing to do, and now you’ve co, so there will be sothing to keep busy."
Smiling broadly, Nexia turned to head further inside the treatnt area, calling out loudly, "Stodis, Tui Liyas, Luxina, Milia... everyone get ready, a large number of patients are coming!..."
Instantly, a cacophony of hurried footsteps echoed from within the treatnt area.
"The madam told she still enjoys being a head nurse like before, doing specific tasks..." Florist Luscia said quietly, watching Nexia who was invigorated.
"Oh..." Emrich responded casually, then asked, half-intentionally, "It seems you get along well with the madam?"
"Yes, the madam has always taken good care of ! Just like... just like my sister..." Florist Luscia’s voice trembled slightly, revealing undisguised admiration in her eyes.
Emrich’s heart stirred, and he fell into contemplation watching the doctors and nurses flood into the hall...
...
After examination and treatnt by the doctors and nurses, eleven Skodisqi individuals with either serious injuries or other diagnosed illnesses were hospitalized for further treatnt. The rest had their wounds cleaned, dicated, and bandaged with clean linen.
Thus, on the way to the lodging area, the group started chattering, eager to share their experiences in the hospital: "When you first said we were going for treatnt, Sage, I thought we were going to pray in the Holy Forest, and then you’d apply mashed herbs for us...
Didn’t expect it to be this complex. First, we stripped naked for examination, then had our wounds cleaned, followed by dressing with herbs and bandages..."
"Hey, you know, the woman who cleaned and bandaged my wound was especially nice. Her movents were very gentle. When I groaned a little, she promptly asked, ’Where does it hurt? Was I too heavy-handed while cleaning?’... I didn’t want to trouble her further, so I held my breath and didn’t utter another sound."
"It’s not just the woman treating you who was good, the one taking care of was great too! My leg wound was from being stabbed by an enemy’s long spear and was quite deep. Any strength used while walking hurt, but during her treatnt, I didn’t feel any pain at all, and now walking is much more comfortable! The Nix tribe’s dical skills are really superb, especially letting won do the healing... hahaha, it’s a truly wonderful idea!"
"I think the Nix tribe is not only skilled in dicine but genuinely treats us sincerely! You guys might not know, but the woman who started treating my wound was a fellow tribeswoman and a novice. She wasn’t very experienced, but the woman guiding her from the side, do you know who it was?"
"How could we know?"
"Later, Sage quietly told it was the wife of the Nix tribe’s leader!"
"Really?!"
"No way?!"
"How could it be!"
"It’s true!" Emrich interjected, "She is Nexia, Leader Maximus’s only wife. She used to be the head nurse of the hospital, not only managing the nurses well but also being highly skilled in treating wounds. Everyone in the tribe respects her!"
The tribesn’s doubts vanished, replaced with expressions of incredulity.
The tribesman who spoke earlier proudly continued, "You wouldn’t know, but because the multiple wounds on my back were large and the novice woman struggled, that leader’s wife personally stepped in and quickly bandaged up. Now I feel no pain at all!"
"Is that leader’s wife the tall, good-looking one who likes standing with her right hand on her hip?"
"That’s right."
"When I was receiving treatnt, she was standing by guiding, though she didn’t personally step in. But the woman bandaging was also a fellow female tribeswoman and quite pretty. She was a bit shy, didn’t speak much, but looked so familiar to ..."
"You just think she’s pretty, so you say she looks familiar, definitely with ulterior motives!"
"I saw that woman too, young and pretty, indeed familiar-looking. I wanted to ask her, but unfortunately, she didn’t bandage ."
"You indeed should be familiar with that girl!" Emrich spoke again, his gaze deep as he looked at them, "She is Florist Luscia, the daughter of Great Chief Hamsted!"
"What?!... Really?!!..." Everyone was shocked: "Florist Luscia is still alive?!!"
Emrich spoke gravely, "Back when we were defeated, Great Chief Hamsted’s entire family was killed by Segestica people; only young Florist Luscia survived and beca a slave, growing up in difficulty within Segestica’s main house until she was later sent to Wallis by Andres—"
"Ah! That vicious guy!"
"When the Nix tribe conquered this village, Florist Luscia was injured by Wallis and recovered only due to the Nixes’ attentive treatnt—" Emrich was speaking when he noticed so tribesn suddenly turn and head back. He imdiately questioned, "What are you doing?!"
The lead figure, Gowes, confidently replied, "We are going to see Florist Luscia; she is the only bloodline of Great Chief Hamsted! She will beco our—"
"No! She is nothing of the sort! She is just an ordinary child who suffered greatly among the Segestica people, causing her severe trauma!
Do you think others who joined the Nix tribe before you didn’t know she is Hamsted’s daughter? They knew! They also greeted her respectfully like you, resulting in her being terrified and unwilling to co out for days...
Out of respect for Great Chief Hamsted, I, as the Druid, implore you not to disturb her and allow her to live in peace. Otherwise, Great Chief Hamsted’s sole bloodline might return to nature’s embrace in terror and unease!" Emrich earnestly warned them.
Gowes and the others hesitated for a long mont before eventually rejoining their group, which beca silent.
However, the unease in each of their hearts dissipated because, after all, they had personally experienced the Nix tribesn’s kindness, and here lived the only bloodline of their forr Great Chief...
The group arrived at the reserve tribe mbers’ lodging. There were no wooden fences or walls because the area was extensive, with over a hundred long, barrack-style houses neatly arranged...
Gowes had visited here once before with the Segestica army. He and his companions had once slept under a few wooden posts, beneath a simple canopy, crowded together, unable to shield from the wind and rain, much less the cold. These were the harsh living conditions for Skodisqi slaves, and now, it was totally different.
Emrich arrived in front of a house.
