Chapter 416: Hidden Treasures

The integration rooms door opened 15 minutes later after the old priest left, startling Macil who was considering his options.

He looked nervously at the newcomer who was a different old man wearing a black cloak. He didnt look like a priest.

"Master Lime I presume?" Macil asked in a cold tone trying to act tough, his legs were shaking though. He was not ready to be tortured!

"I am not I sneaked past that guy on my way here, he is probably still snoozing." the old man said as he took a seat and began to rub his back. "I am too old for such things" he sighed.

"Sneaked?"

"Ah Yes, yes I dont work for the Sun temple, I just came here to retrieve the dragon bone and happened to hear your conversation with that old priest," he said.

"What.?" Macil exclaimed. He didnt expect this answer.

"I thought that I may offer you my services and help you escape in exchange for some information!" the old man explained.

"Ohh" Macil frowned. Was this some trap? Yes, this was definitely a trap! "I am not a criminal to begin with! Why would I need to escape?" He decided to play it safe. They might be planning to frame him with something to gain an excuse to finish him off! His sisters were that kind of bitches who plotted like that!

"Oh Then you want to stay here?" the old man asked with a frown. "Are you a masochist or something? That guy was going to torture you for real you know. People dont just leave this place in one piece!"

"No! Not like that! I am just saying that I am innocent I am sure the temple will find that later and" Macil explained.

"Suit yourself I had no idea sun elves had such weird hobbies My fault" The old man interrupted as he stood up with difficulty then quickly headed toward the door and opened it, making Macil notice the bloody corpse of the priest who was interrogating him earlier lying on the floor right behind it.UppTodated from

Was this not a trap!? Shit!

"Wait! WAIT!" Macil quickly yelled. "You killed him?" he asked, looking at the corpse. It was real!

"Oh Yup This idiot''s kind cant be interrogated And he had my dragon bone!" the old man said as he left the room and began to close the door.

"Kind? WAIT!" Macil yelled. This man might just be his last lifeline. If the temple were to find the old priests corpse, he would definitely be accused as an accomplice! No one would care about his innocence!

"What now?" the old man seemed annoyed.

"Please help me escape!" Macil said shamelessly.

"..."

"I will give you all the information you want" Macil added after some hesitation. He decided that it would be safer to bargain later. Once he was safe!

"Fine" the old man said. He took two steps toward Macil and slashed with a golden dagger that he took out of thin air. Macil flinched but he quickly relaxed as the dagger cut the indestructible magical chain in one swing.

"Lets go" the old man said.

Macil nodded as he stood up "How are we going to leave this place?" he asked. "Those bastards took all my stuff!"

"Leave it to me You can sleep for now" the old man said.

"What" Macil wanted to ask, but the next moment he felt the world go dark as something struck him from behind.

Looking at the collapsed elf, Victor sighed.

Hopefully, this guy had the info he needed about what happened to his family members and his half-sister.

Putting the unconscious elven prince in the cauldron, Victor gave the interrogation room one last check then left, making sure to put a sealing talisman on the door from the inside before closing it.

Now they would only enter by breaking the wall!

After that, he turned and headed upstairs.

The corpse Macil saw earlier was an illusion as Victor didnt expect him to be extremely wary. The real priest was alive and locked inside the cauldron where Victor planned to kill him after leaving this place to extract all his points and turn his body into fertilizer for the plants he grew there.

Reaching the top floor the old man was no longer there Victor didnt care, this man was probably evil but he was not a demon.

Thinking for a moment, Victor decided to make a trip around this building. It was not every day that he could get a chance to visit such a gloomy place.

Descending the stairs behind the doors one by one, Victor, who appreciated the architecture, didn''t find anything of interest, just cells, old archives, interrogation rooms, and guard rooms.

It was after spending 30 minutes, he finally found what he wanted. The halls vault which he infiltrated easily walked past the unwary vigilant guards and the locked steel gate.

Although this vault didnt belong to the main temple and was relatively small. It was meant not for treasures, but for banned and dangerous demonic artifacts!

It had only three items that were sealed on mostly empty shelves.

They were placed in storage boxes that had all kinds of traps around them. Although he doubted they would compare to the things he got in the gorge he felt the need to take them so he quickly grabbed the entire shelves and put them in his storage space, just in case they had some kind of alarm.

Finishing with it, he gave the room one last look preparing to leave, and then paused as his eyes contracted.

Behind the shelves, the wall seemed a little discolored, but he could make out the shape of a bricked-off door.

Raising one eyebrow he began to inspect it.

There was definitely a door here!

Thinking for a moment, he didnt hesitate and shifted right through the bricks into a new very dark steep stairway He wasnt expecting stairs there, so he almost stumbled and fell down rolling, but thanks to his levitation skill that he activated in the nick of time, he was able to hold himself in place.

"Shit" he cursed as he stabilized himself, then began to move down. Despite the lack of light, he could see perfectly well thanks to his bloodlines.

Finally, after going down more than 30 feet he reached what looked like an old damp cave.

There, Victor was welcomed by piles upon piles of nasty-looking rotting burnt bones.

He knew what those were He saw such a scene before in his own world in the other timeline.

Those were the bones of the possessed people. Just like what happened with Rita and Iris long ago when a demon possessed her.

"Oh." His grandfather hesitated.

"Grampa! Is there anything wrong?" Titus frowned.

"Your injury Healing it might not be easy"

"What do you mean?" Titus didnt like his grandfathers voice tone.

"Well " his grandfather paused as he heard a knock on the room''s door.

"Come in," his grandfather said, allowing a pretty nurse and a middle-aged doctor to enter. They quickly bowed respectfully. This hospital belonged to the family after all!

"Did you discover anything new?" His grandfather asked the doctor as the nurse hurried to check Titus''s vitals.

"Sorry, we are not sure!'''' the doctor, who seemed troubled, said. "All the cell cultures we took are acting very strange. They are aging very fast no matter what we do to them. We don''t even know why, but the stem cells are failing to do anything!"

"Oh Did you try again with the bottle I gave you?"

"Yes The results are still the same no matter what concentration we use.. Although the cell aging stopped, its growth fastened, turning it into a cancerous tumor that began to eat itself...!"

"Oh.." his grandfather frowned.

"What does this mean?" Titus pushed the nurse away roughly making her fall to the side as he looked at the doctor and asked.

"We can''t help you, young master even a reconstruction surgery is not an option due to the injury''s severity, you can only adapt and live as a ehm." The doctor said, gesturing for the aggravated nurse to leave

"NO!" Titus flared. "Grandpa Can''t we use healing pills."

"Relax . " His grandfather pushed him back down and said. "I already requested help from experts and they are already here!"

"What" Before Titus could ask, someone came in through the door just as the nurse left.

It was an old man in a blue traditional grab followed by a youthful woman in a blue dress.

"Master Irving we have been waiting for you" Titus''s grandfather said, bowing his head slightly to the old man.

"No need for formalities. Let''s get to business, I have a flight to catch!" Irving said "Anna, check the patient''s pulse!" he added, making the girl beside him hurry to Titus''s side and after bowing slightly, take his hand to check his pulse with her delicate fingers. He didn''t stop her.

"Are you a traditional doctor by any chance?" The doctor who didn''t leave the room asked with a frown.

"Master Irving Claw from the healing valley at your service," Irving introduced himself arrogantly.

"Healing valley?" The doctor frowned. " Master Frank. You can''t believe in those crooks!" he said as he turned to face Titus'' grandfather.

"Crooks? Master Irving frowned

" Yes! Modern medicine has already advanced enough! Traditional medicine, although not entirely nonsensical, has no place in modern society!" the doctor said. "It can never heal something that modern medicine failed at!"

"You" Frank, who frowned, seemed to want to say something but Irving stopped him by raising his hand.

"How about a competition?" Irving proposed.

"What?" the doctor asked.

Irving in a flash, struck the doctor''s chest with his fist, forcing him to take a step back.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF" he didn''t continue as excruciating pain began to surge through his entire body. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH."

"I just locked your 43rd meridian point Try to fix it with modern medicine. If you can do that, I will personally apologize to you If you couldn''t Prepare to live the next year in pain!" Master Irving said in a cold voice.

"But. Master Frank AH"

The doctor who had to lean on the wall for support looked at Frank for help.

"You heard him You can leave."

"Ah." the doctor, who had no idea what was going on, quickly left, not daring to disobey Frank. He also needed to go check his body.

"Master Irving, that doctor is one of the best in the family Although he deserves to be taught a listen, I hope that nothing major will happen to him!" Frank said after the door closed.

"Don''t worry. Anna, do you know how to cure that doctor?" Irving asked, testing his student who finished checking Titus.

"He will naturally heal up in 11 months if he practices sports and follows a healthy diet 16 months if he is lazy," she said professionally.

"What else?" Irving asked.

"Using Timon Flower and Blue pollen he will heal in one week If we apply black bee honey locally, he will heal in an hour" she explained as her master nodded.

"I see Wait? Black bee honey?" Irving exclaimed. "This might work Where did you learn that last one?" he asked in surprise. He clearly didn''t know about it.

"It was in an old book in the old library''s archive in room 41!" she said.

"Really? Wasn''t that room for children''s stories and myths?" Irving asked. "You read those?" he frowned.

"Yes A friend once told me that I might find some interesting things in the most neglected places" Anna said. "Those books are mostly about medical folklore, and they have many things that helped me understand the origin of our valley methods!" she explained.

"I see" Frank seemed intrigued.

"Master Irving About Titus" Frank interrupted the master and student''s conversation.

"Oh. Yes Yes Sorry. " Maser Irivng apologized. "What did you find?" he asked Anna.

"His pulse is fine, he seemed to have ingested a healing pill Other than that, there are no signs of poisons or anomalies!"

"Check his injury" Irving said, making Anna blush and then look at Titus.

"Excuse me" she said as she flipped the bed sheet and then began to inspect the ''injury''.

"Master Irving Why not do it yourself?" Frank frowned and asked.

"Anna here is my newest student! She is very gifted and has a healer class so I have been training her!" Irving said. "Don''t worry, I will take a look at myself once she finishes!" he said.

"Oh." Frank nodded. He didn''t mind, and neither did Titus who let her do her job.

"What do you think?" Irving asked Anna after three minutes.

"Strange" Anna said "Very strange Master You should see this! It seems to be some kind of corruption skill, but there is no miasma" she said, stepping back.

"Oh" Frank stepped forward and began to inspect the injury like some pervert inspects a girl''s boobs. His face was very close to Titus''s butt, as he began sniffing.

Titus was fine with Anna as she was a girl but Master Irving was a totally different thing.

This situation made him feel very uncomfortable but noticing his grandfather''s stern glare he didn''t dare object.

"Most intriguing" Irving said as he began to activate some kind of anesthesia spell that made Titus feel the pain subside even more as his crotch went numb. "Let me try a few things This might take a few minutes so bear with it" he said as he put on some vinyl gloves and began to poke around.

"Please do" Frank said. Irving was clearly not waiting for his consent though

"Grandpa. When this finishes, I want to go to vain city" Titus who didn''t want to think about what the pervert old man was doing to him sailed.

"Vein city?" Frank asked. "Is this about Victor?" he asked, making Anna who was standing back flinch a little.

"Yes I want to take revenge on that bastard! I want to cut him to pieces and take everything he has and burn it to ashes!" he said, not caring about the doctor and his frowning student.

"This is not the time for that" Frank said. "The situation in the family is a little sensitive now! We will talk about this once you are discharged!" he added in a stern tune.

"I understand" Titus didn''t dare to argue. He could only look at the ceiling and plan what he was going to do to Victor and his wives He was going to rape them in front of him! YES!

"How is it?" Frank, who completely knew what his grandson was thinking about, asked as Master Irving finally stepped back.

"This is some kind of time skill His cell''s internal clock is completely screwed." Irving who no longer had a playful smile said with a deep frown.

"Time?" Frank frowned.

"What does it mean?" Titus asked.

"Healing will not work as biological processes won''t be able to synchronize And even if we force it, it might lead to malignant tumors forming" Irving, who was clearly deep in thought, said.

"Is there a solution?" Frank asked.

"..."

"Titus is my only grandson and I am willing to pay whatever it takes!"

"... It will be tricky and not 100% guaranteed" Irving was hesitant. "The only thing I can think of is to cut everything below the crotch and then use a healing artifact to regrow it back. This method had only been done three times in the valley''s history to deal with troublesome curses and " he paused.

"What?" Frank asked. He clearly knew but wanted to ask.

"We will need to use the white coffin"

"Oh! Shit" Frank frowned.

"What?" Titus asked.

"This is going to cost a lot of money and favors." Frank sighed ambiguous, not explaining things clearly. "How long would it take?" he asked.

"... If you manage to secure a quote in a month or so About a year or so for a full recovery," Irving said with a troublesome face.

"Then I will see what I can do" he said. This was going to cost him an arm and a leg!
