Chapter 226
Neither Old Fulin nor middle-aged doctor expected Dudian's injuries to be so serious . Old Fulin thought that Dudian's previous claims about injury was just a light understatement . He was injured so badly but he could still talk and move so easily . What kind of willpower the kid had?
The girl who was holding onto medicine box was stunned . She didn't expect the kid who was similar to her age would have such a terrible injury . There was pity in her eyes as she looked at Dudian .
Dudian felt her gaze but didn't look at her . He said to the doctor . : "Can you fix it?"
Middle-aged doctor recovered from daze . : "I have to look carefully to know details about the fractures . " Then he gently touched dudian's arm . He felt the fractured bones under the flesh . It was like countless heap of stones inside his arm . He was shock as he looked at Dudian's calm eyes . How could he restrain his emotions? He said to Dudian . : "It's very serious . Curing our wounds would be very . . . difficult!"
"It's not a problem as much as there is a hope for recovery . " Dudian looked at middle-aged doctor . : "What about surgery?"
Middle-aged doctor nodded . : "Yes we have to do surgery . We will need to peel the skin off and look at the degree of fractures . If there are no defects then we will fix them up . Hopefully it will be healed back to normal in few years . "
Dudian nodded in understanding . In this era this kind of promise was already quite a good result . Because the level of medicine wasn't up to par with the old era, he didn't expect much from them . "
"Then I'll rely on you . " Dudian said .
"I will do my best to help you . " The middle-aged doctor reached out to the girl: "The bandage . " The girl handed out new gauze and the doctor bandaged Dudian's arm again . : "We don't have required tools with us . I'll come back tomorrow . "
"Alright . " Doudian nodded .
Middle-aged doctor bowed in salute . The butler of the house accompanied them out .
"Your injury was too heavy!" Old Fulin's face was pale as he said after the middle-aged doctor left . : "I have some painkillers in my room . I'll tell the maid to bring them over . "
"No need . " Dudian shook his head . : "The pain will make me stronger . " He didn't want to tell Old Fulin that his left arm was numb . Actually he valued the knowledge about his physical condition a lot . He was very confidential about it and wouldn't reveal it unless he was forced to .
Old Fulin deeply sighed . : "I will tell the butler to improve the quality of your food . You have a good rest . " Afterwards he left the room .
. . .
. . .
The next day middle-aged doctor came over with a large medicine box to make the surgery .
"This is the best anesthetic . It has long lasting effect . You will sleep and won't feel any pain . " Middle-aged doctor said to Dudian as he cut off the bandage . Although it was the second time that he met dudian but yesterday's performance made him to admire Dudian .
Dudian said . : "Don't worry I won't interfere with your surgery . "
They no longer went with the advice but began the surgery .
As they cut some parts of his flesh they saw that not only the bones were broken but blood veins were punctured too . It had caused the blood flow not to work properly which hand ended up in necrosis .
Middle-aged doctor was sweating because he was too nervous . They were homing the bones, meridians and the blood veins .
The surgery lasted for five hours . They used anesthetic for four times and each one was effective for about an hour .
The surgery was completely over by the afternoon . Dudian's left arm was stitched together . They had used plywood to make sure that his bones would fix together in the right direction . The middle-aged doctor almost collapsed after the surgery . He warned Dudian . : "You can't touch water with your left arm . IF there is an uncomfortable reaction then immediate inform me . I'll come to check once every week . "
"Thank you . "
Old Fulin came into the room after the doctor and his assistant left . : "Do you feel comfortable?"
Dudian smiled . : "Its to early to say anything . Is there any news about us in today's newspaper?"
"Look at you! You still care about this . " Old Fulin didn't hesitate to scold him in elderly way but still continued . : "As we have expected the other consortia have been informed about your injury . The matter was highlighted in special newspaper about hunter . Actually, these days you can be considered a famous figure in hunter circle but not in a good way . . . "
Dudian said: "Let me take a look . "
Old Fulin asked the butler to bring newspapers . He handed them to Dudian . : "Green consortium has hunted an unknown monster . Accordint o 'Temple of Elements' the monster's bone marrow contains high fat . It can be made into a portable torch for exploration . . . "
"Mellon consortium has completely cleaned out area no 6 under their command . There is a potential to make a lot of money in the short term . . . "
"Scott consortium lost three primary hunters while cleaning area no 7 . They have hunted a rare 'corruptor' . Scott consortium hasn't decided to sell the magic marks or use it themselves . . . "
Dudian read the article until the end . According to the atlas the 'corruptor' was ranked in top three . According to the assessment the monsters are divided into ordinary, rare and legendary . There were eight known monsters in the legendary rank . Only a handful of people have been able to consume magic marks from legendary rank monsters in the last two hundred years of the history .
The most recent hunter who acquired a magic mark like that appeared thirty years ago . The hunter belonged to Noel consortium . Single-handedly he had pushed Noel consortium to the top of the list . However later the legendary hunter died outside the giant wall and his body was not found . Since the Noel consortium had gone an economic downturn and now ranked as the third consortium .
"Young corruptor should be in the same level as a ghoul . " Dudian's mouth curled up . He was lucky that he was able to consume magic marks from a rare beast .
"The New World consortium has dispatched an intermediate level hunter to the 'death passage' that they have rented . The hunter has returned and his arm is seriously injured . The harvest is low . . . " Dudian saw that they were high-lighted in the newspaper . The layout of the column was relatively large . He knew that they were not concerned about New World consortium but were more inclined to report about them because of the 'death passage' .
