Chapter 187 Partial Recovery
Chapter 187 Partial Recovery
Originally, the Dark God Cult had businesses in various towns and cities across the continent. However, due to the establishment of the Five Nations, wars continued between the countries, and the businesses in various places were confiscated or forcibly occupied by local nobles and powerful people. The source of funds was quickly exhausted, and the finances became tense.
This has caused the power of the Dark Cult to gradually shrink over the years, with only some mountainous areas near the city of Aaron remaining as its core area.
Fortunately, as a carrier of the generation, Velen was also an effective leader. He adopted a contraction strategy, allowing all the forces of the cult to concentrate near the city of Aaron, which in turn increased the strength of the cult.
Moreover, when he did not have much power in his hands, he secretly supported his heir and used the power of the Cult to support Lord Getras to inherit the position of Lord of Aaron. Now the Lord of Aaron has become a core member of the Cult, and Aaron City has actually become the territory of the Dark Cult.
However, the elders, with the Grand Elder as the core, have always held different opinions. They believe that Velen's policy of contraction is not a long-term solution, and once attacked by external forces, it is very likely that the power of the cult will be concentrated and destroyed here.
So last year, they took advantage of Velen's serious illness and forced the inheritance ceremony to be carried out. They let Moros, whom they chose, take over as the new successor, and Velen was placed under house arrest.
The new Moros and the Great Elder both advocate expansion strategies. It is said that they have secretly colluded with some of the powerful people in the Five Nations and want to take advantage of the current chaotic situation to allow the Divine Religion to rise again on the continent.
Not only that, Great Elder Moros and his men took away all the members of the Cult on the island to use them in the Cult's layout in various places, preparing to stir up trouble and do something big, among which the assassination of Aix was one of their masterpieces.
Now there are only the Fifth Elder and a few ascetics following him left on the island. The Fifth Elder has always been the least powerful among the elders. He does not agree with the strategies of the First Elder and his colleagues, and has been ostracized by the First Elder and his colleagues' core circle.
So he chose to stay on the island on the grounds of guarding the religious archives and protecting the sacred objects of the place of inheritance.
The reason why the fifth elder told Velen all the secrets kept by the five great elders was not only because he was forced to do so by their coercion and inducement, but mainly because he now held a pessimistic and negative attitude towards everything.
He believed that the reckless behavior of Moros and the Great Elder was tantamount to seeking death, and that the Church of God would be destroyed and extinguished because of their seemingly desperate recklessness.
After Velen knew the secrets hidden by the elders, he felt even more unhappy. It turned out that the belief in the inheritance of the religion that he had adhered to all his life was nothing but a carefully designed scam.
He who once seemed to be in power was nothing more than a puppet who could be replaced at any time, but he devoted his life wholeheartedly to all this.
However, although he is full of revenge, he is already too old. The only person who can avenge him now may be X, who is sucking on a chicken bone next to him. As long as he is cured, given the conflict between him and the Dark God Cult, he will never give up.
Thinking of this, he took the initiative to bring James, Axe and others to the closed inheritance hall.
This is a secret room with a mechanism. A beam of sunlight coming from the skylight on the top shines on a cylindrical instrument in the center of the room. The upper half of the instrument is made of transparent material.
Wei Lun stepped forward and placed his palm on a control panel on the instrument. He pressed it slightly, and heard two beeps, followed by a female system voice:
"The X34-B medical device is starting up and will now begin self-checking. This will take three minutes. Please wait patiently."
Then the instrument started to buzz and self-check. After about three minutes, the system voice continued to announce:
"Alarm, only 12% of the energy is left, % of the medical functions cannot be used, the left swing arm brake lever is damaged and cannot be used, it is recommended to replace it, the D valve of the oxygen generator is not airtight enough and cannot provide oxygen..."
After a series of highly technical terms that no one understood, the system voice finally said:
"The device is seriously faulty. Please use it with caution to avoid causing harm to others or yourself."
After Velen and the system finished saying this, they had someone remove Aix's clothes, leaving him only in his underpants. After coaxing him to drink a bowl of potion, they had him lie in the open cylinder, and then said to the panel:
"X34-B, the patient has suffered a brain injury. Please provide medical treatment."
"Beep, beep, receiving the instruction, start scanning the patient's head."
A probe extended from one side and shot a green beam of light towards Aix's head. Then, after a full-coverage scan of Aix's brain area, the system said:
“The patient’s brain was found to have been severely damaged, with residual blood congestion in some areas, severe intellectual impairment, and most of his memory lost.
Currently, the equipment is severely damaged and the power supply is seriously insufficient. It cannot fully treat the patient's condition. Should we still carry out the treatment?"
"treat."
Velen gave the order. He knew that the instrument was badly damaged and had lost most of its functions, but he still wanted to give it a try and let Aix treat as much as he could.
About ten minutes later, the system voice said:
"Alert! Only 0.5% of the power is left. Treatment cannot be performed. The patient's blood has been cleared. His intelligence has been restored to 90% and his memory has been restored to 45%. Treatment has been stopped. Please leave the X34-B medical cabin to prevent the system from locking the cabin door due to lack of power."
Upon hearing this, Velen and James hurriedly helped Axe out of the X34-B medical cabin.
Velen still did not give up and said to the panel:
"X34-B, if the power is restored, can you treat the patient just now?"
"The patient's brain is severely damaged. X34-B can only restore the patient's intelligence and memory to a maximum of 50%. If further treatment is required, please use the nanocore machine for implantable repair."
After saying this, the indicator light on the X34-B's medical cabin flashed, and the battery completely ran out and the engine shut down.
Everyone put clothes on Axe. After more than an hour, Axe gradually woke up. He was dizzy and looked at the foreigners around him with a confused look on his face.
He wondered if he had been hit by a truck. Wasn't he sent abroad for treatment at great expense by his family? However, these people didn't look like doctors. This made him panic. He looked around and said to Ran Ying, who looked the most like a Chinese:
"Which country am I in? Where are my parents?"
When Ran Ying heard that although Aix was speaking Chinese, he could finally speak in a normal tone, she screamed in excitement, hugged Aix and cried:
"That's great, Brother Axel, you're finally fine, finally back to normal! Woo woo..."
Not only her, Ai Su also rushed over excitedly and cried:
"Great, my husband, you are finally recovered!"
Although they spoke the common Swadian language, Aix could understand it and was inexplicably surprised. Moreover, it was difficult for him to adapt to the two beautiful girls being so close to him. He was very dwarf-minded and wondered in his heart:
'Did my dad who loves to buy lottery tickets win a jackpot of tens of millions? That's why the fraud group set up such a high-level trap for me?
Or am I born noble, a rich kid who was stranded in the mortal world, and when I was dying, my rich father from abroad came all the way to recognize me? Ugh, what the hell.'
