Chapter 171 How to handle being caught on the spot
After the elders' alarm sounded, all the veterans in the prison were busy all night.
He sat on the sofa in the principal's office all night, and although he thought about it from all angles and couldn't figure out where he was, the worry in his heart still kept him awake all night.
I went to the council of elders early this morning and got two pieces of news from the Grand Elder—one good and one bad. No, if we make use of them, there will be two, or even a third or fourth piece of good news.
After tentatively speaking a few more words to the Grand Elder, it turned out that the Grand Elder was probably really senile and couldn't understand what people were saying. After all that, not only did he not achieve the result he wanted, but he also ordered the veterans to guard the Meng Academy and doubled the number of Black Magnet guards.
Already in a bad mood, upon returning to the Moe Academy and learning that the Moe Knights had successfully rescued Maria, he forced a complicated smile.
He knew perfectly well that if the Dark Emperor had kept Maria locked up on the eighteenth floor, or had paid more attention, the Knights' rescue operation would not have gone so smoothly, but he couldn't blame the Dark Emperor for that.
He knew he wouldn't get any reasonable explanation from the Dark Emperor.
On the contrary, the emperor would fly into a rage because he had not yet obtained the Moonstone and the Sea God.
Is this carefully prepared move going to be wasted?
Clutching the scepter, he was filled with resentment. He wondered if he should find a way to deal with Maria.
Fortunately, out of caution, he hadn't let her see his face. Unlike Victoria, however, she was fully conscious when she saw him.
Could they recognize him just by his figure?
No, we can't afford to create any more complications now.
We need to find out the whereabouts of the Dark Moon Stone from the Grand Elder as soon as possible, and then give the Black Magnet to the Dark Emperor. With this achievement, even if we are completely exposed later, we will still have a good way out.
"Hmph, I'd rather not stay in this council!" As long as the Dark Emperor finds all five spirit stones and possesses supreme power to unify the universe, then this little council will be at his disposal.
Health room.
The head nurse, Da Tiantian, found the situation tricky.
“Head Nurse Sweetie, please don’t just shake your head and sigh without saying anything, okay? Maria’s mother’s voice…” Genny glanced carefully at the person lying on the hospital bed. Having been locked in the sewers for too long, Maria’s mother had been sleeping since last night and hadn’t woken up yet.
After a full physical examination, it was confirmed that Maria's mother was simply asleep, not unconscious, and had been given some kind of magic potion that rendered her mute.
Pulling Head Nurse Da Tiantian aside, Ginny lowered his voice and continued to ask, "Can it be restored?"
"This problem..." He adjusted his glasses, looking troubled. "Well, let me just tell you, it's very difficult!"
"Difficult?!"
"First of all, you've also studied some potions. There are many kinds of potions that can achieve the same effect, and of course, the antidotes for different kinds will also be different."
Seeing that Kenny was relatively calm and receptive, Da Tian Tian continued:
"Secondly, the potions of the Dark Clan are very different from those of our Quark Clan. We currently have no way of knowing the specific ingredients of the potion that Maria drank."
"Last and most importantly, she...she's a pure human! All my life's work has been on the Quark race and the Scrollers. How am I supposed to concoct an antidote for a human?" Quarks can drink it without any problems, but who knows what might happen to a human?
What if the situation gets worse the more we try to save it...?
"Will Mother Maria be unable to speak again after that?"
"Hey, hey, hey, please don't cry!" she hurriedly waved her hands, looking around nervously. "What if someone passes by and thinks I'm bullying a student?"
"Don't be so pessimistic. There are plenty of amazing medical experts among the Quark race. Let me think of someone who specializes in studying humans." She tried hard to eliminate names one by one in her mind.
Have no idea.
I can't think of anything at all.
The Moe Academy has the largest human population of all the Quark schools—though even that's not a huge number. Even so, the students there generally hold prejudices against humans.
Moreover, this is on Quark Planet.
who?
Who would consider the effects on humans when researching potions?
No, let alone considering the effects of potions on humans, very few people have even studied them for other magical races.
Under Genny's expectant gaze, she didn't dare turn her head. She had exhausted all the names she could think of, so she could only continue to pretend to be thinking.
“Oh, right, oh dear, why am I thinking so far ahead?” Her eyes lit up. “We can write to Professor Qian Jin. Professor Qian Jin has dedicated his life to researching magic potions, he must have a way to solve this problem.”
"Teacher Qian Jin?" But with Teacher Qian Jin's memory, could the method he used be correct?
As Da Tiantian pulled out some stationery to write a letter, she sighed, "I wish my teacher were here."
"Your teacher?" That sounds more reliable than Teacher Qian Jin. "Where is he now, and how can I find him?"
“Now,” the letter began, before she paused to reply to Genny, “in the soil.”
“If I were still alive, would I need to tell you? When I first took office, I encountered some difficult medical problems…” That seemed to make her seem less professional. “Never mind, let’s not talk about that. The letter is finished. I’m going to mail it.”
Why did Teacher Qian have to choose to go on a trip to Mars at a time when he was needed?
Before leaving, she didn't forget to comfort Kenny one last time: "You, just relax and have fun with Sister Maria at the Moe Academy for a while."
Hopefully this period won't be too long.
For once, her thinking was thorough enough that she even considered the aftermath. Oh dear, she's really becoming more and more like Pa... cough, stop it.
"The elders will send someone to handle things at the monastery. You miss her, and she misses you too, right?"
Please, Mr. Qian Jin, be sure to be reliable this time!
After a long sleep, Maria opened her eyes but did not see Genny or any of the group from the previous night.
She saw a girl rummaging through a bag, while a boy next to her looked worried and glanced around.
"Hey, you're awake!" Harry Potter shouted and kicked Rebecca.
Rui Bu Si was nearly kicked so hard that she fell headfirst into the bag.
“Oh, Ms. Maria, good morning… well, it’s afternoon now.” She picked up an apple and handed it to her, casually wiping away crumbs of pastry from the corner of her mouth without any abruptness.
Mary accepted the apple.
Curious eyes fell on the two who seemed to have come to steal food. Harry Potter blushed and introduced himself and Ruibosi, repeatedly emphasizing that he had no ill intentions.
“Jenny asked us to watch over me because I didn’t eat enough this morning and didn’t eat much at noon either. I was really hungry just now, so…”
They only eat food meant for patients?
It doesn't sound like they have any morals at all.
Like a thief caught red-handed, Harry Potter felt he couldn't continue speaking.
He should have known better than to say he was hungry while looking at that pile of food... He never imagined Rui Bu Si would be so efficient.
And he didn't even get to eat a single piece of pastry...
Maria waved her hand to indicate that it was alright, but not knowing what Harry Potter had misunderstood, she quickly bowed and apologized, her voice trembling with tears: "We know we were wrong, please don't throw books at me!"
The bloodstains on the Bible on the table had already been cleaned up. Mary raised her eyebrows and gestured, and seeing that she was having difficulty gesturing, Ruibosi helped her take the apple back, wiped it clean, and began to eat it.
Harry Potter didn't understand the gestures.
After a not-so-brief mental breakdown, he finally remembered why he was in the infirmary instead of the cafeteria.
