Free Web NovelChapter 871: Chapter 521: The Eccentric Artuso, Return to the Territory
Both hands grabbed the handle of the Fish Spear, giving Favide a reassuring look.
Slowly applying force, pulling it back.
As the Fish Spear moved back, the friction on the wound caused Favide to grimace in pain.
This guy was quite brave, not letting out a scream.
Besides his somewhat grimaced expression, there was no sign of fear or negative emotion.
Zong Shen felt relieved, maintaining a gentle speed while pulling the Fish Spear out.
After three to four minutes, he managed to remove the entire Fish Spear.
He threw the culprit Fish Spear harshly onto the nearby grass.
Favide’s forehead and nose were covered in sweat.
Zong Shen was also tense, relaxing only after finishing the task.
"Clap clap clap..."
Behind him, Mr. Artuso started applauding.
"Lord Zong did a great job."
"Now let me handle his wound."
He smiled as he came to the medicine box and took out three small glass bottles and a roll of bandages.
The glass bottles were all brown, which helped in blocking light.
He opened the glass bottles one by one, and then unraveled the bandages.
He first washed away the blood scabs and clots from the front and back wounds with clear water.
Then he poured the potion onto the wound.
Afterwards, he bandaged it diagonally from under the armpit.
During this time, Favide continued to grimace in pain.
Once the wound was bandaged, Artuso clapped his hands, packed up the potion, and closed the medicine box.
"Lord Zong, your subordinate’s wound has been treated."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Artuso."
Zong Shen also politely nodded.
Yet he saw Artuso standing in place, seemingly not planning to leave.
He looked at Artuso in puzzlement.
Seeing that Zong Shen genuinely didn’t understand the rules, Artuso extended his right hand.
He rubbed his fingers and thumb together.
The meaning of this gesture was crystal clear.
Crossing countries and even dimensions.
"Damn, you still want money?"
Zong Shen instantly understood, cursing in his heart.
This surgical work didn’t seem to require much skill.
The most important tool was the hand saw, which came from Baron Bezos’ castle.
Both the cutting and removing of the Fish Spear were done by him personally.
Artuso just bandaged the wound.
Zong Shen originally thought just a friendly face would suffice.
"Uh..."
"Mr. Artuso, how much do you need?"
He awkwardly asked.
Artuso calmly raised one finger.
"100 Dinars?"
Zong Shen asked tentatively.
Even 100 Dinars wouldn’t be cheap.
Equivalent to a third of a grassland cow, or five months’ wages for a maid!
But Artuso shook his head and said a number.
"1000 Dinars!"
Upon hearing this price, Zong Shen’s expression changed.
"Why don’t you just rob?"
He ranted furiously in his mind.
Wanting so much to grab this old guy’s collar and question him thoroughly.
It’s not that Zong Shen couldn’t afford it.
He just felt he was being ripped off!
Artuso’s performance just couldn’t justify 1000 Dinars!
That could buy more than three grassland cows or two robust grassland horses!
Zong Shen swore, at this moment, to capture this old guy in the future and make him work off this debt!
After a moment of silence, Zong Shen, hand trembling slightly, took out ten 100-denomination Big Coins.
He quickly stepped forward and placed them in Artuso’s hand.
Then, without saying a word, he began checking Favide’s condition.
Artuso didn’t care about Zong Shen’s attitude.
He weighed the Dinars in his hand, looking at Zong Shen’s back with an unfathomable smile.
"Then, Lord Zong, I’ll be leaving now."
"If any more injuries need treatment, come find me in Bang City."
Artuso, standing behind Zong Shen, bowed slightly, even though Zong Shen didn’t turn back, he still saluted.
To this, Zong Shen merely raised his right hand, gently waving it as a greeting.
Although being ripped off annoyed him, he didn’t intend to completely fall out with Artuso.
Dinars was still something his wealth could cover.
Not minding it either, Artuso placed the medicine box on the back of a small gray horse he had ridden earlier.
There was a modified storage rack.
Ensuring that the medicine box was securely placed on the horse’s back.
The butler beside Artuso was still polite, helping him onto the horse.
Artuso’s butler smiled, pulled the reins, and turned the horse towards the outskirts of the Central District.
After the bandaging, Favide’s condition noticeably improved.
With the troublesome Fish Spear removed, there was nothing hindering the wound’s recovery.
Zong Shen then took out a small bottle of Moon God Spring and handed it to him.
Earlier, while removing the Fish Spear, Favide had lost some Life Value.
They waited on the spot for more than ten minutes, confirming Favide was okay.
Zong Shen then called Reese Ulysses.
Using her Flash ability, they headed to his property in Boss Bang.
It was still in a closed state.
Zong Shen instructed Reese to directly use Flash to take her to the second floor.
Speaking of it, as long as there wasn’t any magic interference, Reese’s Flash was an excellent infiltration skill.
Once spatial sensing was conducted, Flashing there was a matter of minutes.
With a dazzling blue light, Zong Shen and Reese appeared on the second floor.
The reason he came here was to set up the Sub-array of the Hundred Kilometer-level Teleportation Array.
Although he had a Teleportation Gate, that thing’s teleportation point was completely determined by his location.
To enhance communication between two places, setting up a Teleportation Array was quite necessary.
This Teleportation Array was originally intended to connect with Boss Bang.
