Chapter 732: Guarding the Goblin in the Bed
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
When everyone was full, they collapsed on their chairs with their round stomachs. The elven soldiers looked around and asked curiously, “Where’s the soldier from yesterday? Doesn’t he eat?”
“Who? Austin? He should still be taking care of the ‘child’,” a soldier answered while picking his teeth.
The elven soldiers looked at the messy dining table and silently lowered their impression of these soldiers.
“I’m finally done bathing.”Austin scooped the goblin out of the bathtub and placed it on the white towel that was spread out. “This way, it won’t look so ugly.”
After the goblin finished bathing, the fur-like things on its body were also washed away. On the yellowish-brown skin, an ancient totem that looked like an oil painting was exposed in the air.
“What is this?” Austin looked at the strange pattern curiously. He had an idea and wanted to bring the goblin to Captain Dewitt and the others. However, in the blink of an eye, he remembered that he had to bring the goblin for a health check.
“I have to hurry,” Austin muttered. He carried the goblin on his back. He walked toward the tent where the medical soldiers were.
When he passed by the kitchen counter, Austin suddenly remembered that he hadn’t eaten dinner yet. His body suddenly froze. It was impossible for those guys in the same team to keep his share.
The more he thought about it, the more impatient he became. Austin shook his head fiercely. He hurried to the medical soldier.
“Doctor.” The moment he walked into the tent, Austin called out softly.
“Yes. Coming.” The medical soldier put down the bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and walked over to welcome him.
“Sorry to disturb your meal.” Austin looked at the dishes in the medical soldier’s bowl and silently clenched his fists.
“It’s okay. Come earlier. It’ll save me a lot of trouble.” The soldier washed his hands with water and took the goblin from Austin’s arms. “It’s much smaller than I thought.”
“Hehe, then I’ll sit here and wait for you.” Austin found a low stool and sat at the door.
“You should come in too,” the soldier said.
The medical tent was divided into two parts. At this time, the medic had already carried the goblins into the other side of the tent and called out.
“… Okay.” Austin nodded. He walked in.
The medic had already put on his coat and sanitary gloves. He took out a tube of medicine from a sealed box and poured it into the syringe.
“Is this for an injection?” Austin asked.
“Yes, to test for body disease,” the medic replied. As he spoke, he placed the needle into the vein on the goblin’s neck. The transparent medicine was pushed in. “Fortunately, it’s unconscious. If this was injected into a conscious person, it would hurt like hell.”
“Ah?” Austin’s expression became unbearable. He looked at the medicine in the syringe that was like jelly, squeezed into the needle. “Can this really be absorbed by the body?”
“Yes, don’t worry about that.” The doctor finally took out the needle and gently pressed it on the injection site with a medical cotton pad. He wiped the medicine that was piled up there bit by bit. “Okay, put him here.”
“Huh? Don’t you need me to take care of him?” Austin asked.
“The results will be out in two hours. We’ll talk about it then.” The medic took off his coat.
“Okay.” Austin retreated to the other side of the room in a fluster.
“Haven’t you eaten yet? Hurry up and eat. The kitchen will prepare it for you,” the medic said, gesturing for him to leave.
Austin bent down to thank him and walked out.
After sending Austin away, the medic walked back to the unconscious goblin’s bed.
Looking at the other party’s calm appearance, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Bi Kelun.”At this time, de Weite, Kelei Mengte, and Ai Buer walked into the tent and called out the medical soldier’s name.
Bikren moved his feet and quickly walked to the front to welcome them. “Captain Dewitt, Captain Claremont, Captain AI Buer. You guys are here.”
“Yes.” Devitt stood at the front and replied, “Austin came just now, right?”
“Yes. He just left my place not long ago,” Bikren replied.
“Where are the goblins?”
“They are still in a coma status. They are lying inside to rest,” Bikren said.
“Let’s go take a look,” Al Buer said.
“Yes.” Claremont nodded.
Bikren led the three of them inside.
After seeing the goblins lying quietly on the guard bed, Dewitt asked, “You have already injected him with the medicine, right?”
“Yes.” Bikren nodded, his eyes filled with doubt. “This is also the first time I’ve seen a patient who can remain motionless after being injected with such a dose of vaccine.”
“What’s the situation?”Al Buer asked the two.
“The drug being tested this time is the most accurate one so far, but it also has a drawback: the moment it is injected into the body, the body’s functions will rapidly decline. The heart will also suddenly shrink. Therefore, at that moment, the pain anyone feels is indescribable, and it will cause the body to twitch involuntarily. “You previously told me the goblin was knocked out by someone. But it has been several hours since then. When I saw Austin carrying it in, I was very puzzled. How could he have fainted for so long?” Bikren explained in detail, he pointed to one possibility.
“You mean… this goblin has been pretending to faint?” Claremont asked.
“Yes.” Bikren nodded.
“What should we do? Since the potion you mentioned can’t wake him up, how should we expose it?”AlBuer said.
“This is just a guess I have made. After all, there are always twists and turns behind strange things.” Bikren shook his head and said.
“I agree with Bikren’s words. Right now, it’s all our guesses.” Dewitt pondered for a while, he replied, “Moreover, even if this goblin really disguised himself and sneaked into our team, we don’t need to be in a hurry to expose him. No matter what method we use, getting information about the volcano from his mouth is the ultimate goal.”
“Right.” Claremont nodded.
At this moment, Al Buer noticed the skin totem on the goblin’s neck. He silently walked to the edge of the goblin’s bed and lifted the quilt. The patterns on the goblin’s body were exposed in everyone’s sight.
“I’ve seen some illustrations in the ancient books that talk about the goblins. The goblin’s portrait also has such a totem.” Claremont walked forward and took a closer look. “But the one on its body doesn’t look the same.”
“It might be different according to the region or age.” Devitt didn’t pay much attention to it.
