Chapter 119 Is this old man attracted by beauty?
After seeing off the two unexpected visitors, the tent returned to peace.
Bazel also disappeared without a trace.
As for the unsealed letter, Ryan had no intention of opening it and directly put it into the folded space.
The days seemed to have returned to normal, and he was not idle. He took out the materials for preparing the medicine, set up various beakers and test tubes, and prepared to start preparing the medicine.
Because today is the day to prepare the [Gold Potion] for old man Tust.
…
Ryan's foundation in pharmacy is now very solid. After months of hard work in basic skills, he has reached the level of a senior pharmacy apprentice. Even simple genetic potions can be gradually introduced.
After a while, the medicine was prepared.
Ryan woke up Tust who was taking a nap in the tent. Although the old man slept for a long time every day, his sleep was very light.
"Grandpa Tust, get ready to take the potion."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Tust opened his eyes reflexively.
"Ryan, I seemed to hear you talking to someone just now. Is there a guest coming?"
"Yes, there were two old acquaintances. But they've left."
Ryan didn't say much and handed over the golden potion.
After Tust drank it, his face finally had a little bit of the rosy color of a living person.
This elderly man has become increasingly weaker recently, and it is unknown how long he can hold on.
He is completely paralyzed, the poison is corroding his body every day, and there is absolutely no hope of recovery. For an ordinary person, this is a "hopeless life" that should have been given up long ago.
If Tust had not been unable to let go of his adopted grandson Carl, and the mechanical science he loved all his life, he would probably have lost the will to live.
After taking the medicine, not much energy is restored, which is a sign of drug resistance.
The old man clearly felt that his health was deteriorating, and he also knew that there were not many types of life for him to choose from. He sighed and said, "Little Ryan... I am sorry to trouble you with my old bones."
"It's no trouble at all, Grandpa Tust."
Ryan responded with a smile, saying disapprovingly: "Isn't it just refining some potions? This is the exercise that the teacher assigned me to do in my daily homework."
Tust's life is truly a tragedy.
Even Ryan, an outsider, felt sad when he heard it.
He could have been known as a "genius mechanic" and become a legendary figure in the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences, but because of that incident, his family was broken up and he was left with nothing. He had to spend the rest of his life in this remote city.
After a pause, he sensed the old man's pessimism and said comfortingly: "You don't have to be too anxious. I believe you will get better."
Tust didn't say anything either, just sighed deeply.
…
I don’t know why, but today we have so many visitors.
While Ryan was giving Tust medicine, another wave of uninvited guests visited the tent.
"Do you have a doctor apprentice named 'Ryan' here?"
The tone of the voice was very arrogant. Even without seeing the person, one could guess that the guy who was speaking must have a face that deserved a beating.
Looking closely, I saw a noble lady leading several servants to the door of the tent.
Ryan raised his eyebrows and gave the visitor a lazy look without saying anything.
With this arrogant tone, he had no interest in dealing with anyone, even Emperor Omar.
But what he didn't expect was that even though he had no intention of paying attention to her, Tust, who was lying not far away, suddenly froze in his eyes when he saw the noble lady.
"Clang", the medicine test tube in Tust's hand fell to the ground, and then "crashed" into glass pieces.
When Ryan heard the unusual noise, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought the old man had a sudden heart attack or something.
He ignored the people at the door and ran over with a nervous look on his face: "Grandpa Tuster, are you okay?"
After another check, the old man's breathing was a little rapid and his face was slightly red, which did not seem like he had a sudden illness.
Is there something wrong with the medicine?
Ryan was shocked again, and after thinking carefully, it was not right... All the procedures were strictly in accordance with the prompts of the "smart brain", and there would be no errors at all!
He was startled and thought of a possibility.
This... could it be that the old man is having a last burst of energy?
At this time, Karl also put down his paintbrush and ran over with a concerned look on his face, “Grandpa, Grandpa…what’s wrong with you?”
“…”
Tust remained silent, his cloudy eyes flickering with a faint light, as if he was meeting an old friend again.
Ryan vaguely understood something and looked in the direction the old man was looking.
…
There are five people at the door.
It is easy to distinguish the primary and secondary by looking at the outfit.
The lady should be the leader, with a butler and three burly bodyguards with mechanical skeletons.
It can’t be…
The old man saw that the lady was still charming, so he became lustful?
Ryan didn't know why this strange idea popped up in his mind.
His face turned red, his breathing became a little rapid, it was obviously a physiological reaction of being aroused by beauty.
However, from a medical perspective, Tust's current physical condition is very, very bad, and there is no possibility of abnormal hormone secretion.
This... is a bit intriguing.
Tust has been hiding his identity in the City of Glory for thirty years, staying in his shop all year round. Only a few people know his name, and he doesn't have many acquaintances.
Could it be that this woman is the old man’s old lover when he was young?
That’s not right…the age doesn’t match.
Women in this world generally give birth to children at an early age. She looks to be at most 30 years old, and it’s almost like she’s her father…
Eh... Dad?
Ryan inexplicably thought of the story Bazel told him.
That’s not right…
Didn't Basel say that Tust had a lover when he was at the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences, but wasn't she insulted and forced to death by the current president of the academy?
…
The other party has bad intentions.
Only then did Ryan realize that this noble lady had about 50% similarities with the young girl who had been beaten before, and about 40% similarities with the high-class man in black.
Obviously, according to the laws of genetics, this lady must be related to the beaten girl.
After beating the younger one, the older one comes?
It seemed that the other party had bad intentions, and Ryan was not in a good mood.
At this time, the housekeeper beside the lady glanced at the three people in the tent with his nose, and asked again in his drake-like voice: "Does anyone here know where the doctor's apprentice named Ryan is? The one who just injured my lady with despicable means..."
This is the normal dog servant posture in TV scripts.
The butler in an aristocratic family, although not as noble as a noble, is much more honorable than a commoner .
This domineering attitude worked well among the common people in the Omar Empire.
When ordinary civilians heard nobles asking questions, even if the requests were unreasonable, they would respond respectfully.
Normally, there is nothing wrong with his attitude in other places just to show off, but Ryan, a young man who traveled from the 21st century, thinks he is taking advantage of others?
The "Glorious City" is not the Omar Empire, and the nobles' way of showing off their power will not .
Even though the five major families now control the city and have formed a new generation of "invisible privileged" class, no one dares to trample on the concept of equality for all established by Master Kavo.
What's more, this is during the hunting mission.
According to the laws of the city, no matter who the nobles are, even if they are princes or princes, they are all equal hunters.
…
For a long time, no one in the tent paid any attention to these uninvited guests.
Because no one spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.
How could I be ignored by these inferior people?
The housekeeper looked at his face twitching, feeling a little embarrassed, and cursed angrily: "You are indeed a country bumpkin from a remote area, you don't know any etiquette!"
He looked at his two fruitless inquiries, and like an old dog that had been beaten with a stick, he no longer had any ferocity and hid beside his master with his tail between his legs.
It must be said that the woman was quite pretty. Her grace and elegance, coupled with her jewel-filled outfit, exuded the grace and nobility of an upper-class lady.
"Butler Juan, you must not be rude."
At this time, the master finally came forward.
She looked at Ryan, who was wearing a mask and covered in wounds, and then asked in person: "Excuse me, who is Doctor Ryan?"
Ryan was not taken seriously by the mild rebuke.
This is a common trick used by nobles, using evil servants to contrast their own kindness.
It is best to scare them, but if they cannot, they will still come out to act as good people. This contrast can easily gain people's trust and praise the kindness of the nobles and ladies.
Ryan is not stupid. Without the master's instruction, how dare a butler be so arrogant?
What's more, the words "despicable means" make people know the other party's intentions as soon as they hear them.
However, the lady was quite polite when she spoke.
Ryan then raised his eyebrows, showing some interest in talking to you, and asked coldly, "What do you want?"
The lady looked at Ryan like a shrewd businessman, with a barely perceptible gleam in her eyes.
"You are Dr. Ryan, right?"
Her smile was very professional, not pleasing, but not disgusting either. She got straight to the point and said, "It's like this. My willful daughter just had a competition with you, and then lost the coming-of-age gift given to her by the Duke of Rubio. So as a mother, I can only shamelessly come to visit..."
After a pause, he looked at the lying Tuster again, thinking that he was Ryan's elder, and said, "You should have heard that the Duke of Rubio is of noble status. If he heard that the gift he sent was won by someone in a gambling fight, our Lopez family would be very embarrassed... That lord would probably be very angry too."
This woman spoke very cleverly, and the word "Grand Duke" appeared repeatedly in her conversation.
Isn't it just a threat?
Ryan knew what this woman was up to, and asked coldly, "So what? Madam, what do you mean?"
The noble lady threw out her chips: "So, I want to redeem my little daughter Feiya and lose these gloves."
As she spoke, she motioned to the butler beside her and took out a valuable coupon: "This is a check from our 'Sunflower Chamber of Commerce', 50 million lires, as the ransom for redeeming the gloves."
Ryan glanced at the check and responded calmly: "What if I don't want to accept the redemption?"
