Chapter 298: Demon Soul Henry (Part 2)
Henry was raised by his uncle.
Because his uncle 'Chester' was a healer, and he had intentionally taught Henry a lot about herbs and diseases since he was a child, so Henry became a healer naturally as an adult.
Henry followed Chester to help people see a doctor, learned the identification of diseases, the distinction of herbal plants, the extraction and preparation of various medicines, the sixteen methods of safe bloodletting, and the feeding of leeches and many other miscellaneous knowledge. Sturt's mantle, became a doctor with outstanding medical skills.
He has never returned to his hometown again, and has been living in the small town of 'Emsell' with his uncle Chester. Those things that happened in his childhood have been buried in the deepest part of his heart and gradually forgotten as time goes by.
When Henry was 23 years old, a terrible plague broke out in a certain area in the southern part of the Griffin Kingdom. When Henry and his uncle, who were far away in Holy Arathor, learned this information, hundreds of thousands of people in the Griffin Kingdom had died from the plague, and the number of deaths was increasing wildly every day.
That terrible plague had a very high fatality rate and very few survivors of the infection.
The helpless Griffin Kingdom asked the Magic Association, as well as various human kingdoms and city-states for help, hoping that doctors with experience and special formulas could go to discuss the solution to the plague.
Henry's uncle Chester also went, sailing from the Coral Sea to the southern part of the Griffin Kingdom, but never came back. In the end, only a letter from the Griffin Kingdom explaining the situation and a large bag of gold coins came back.
The letter states that Chester accidentally contracted the plague while studying the plague and died on the fifth day of infection. The letter also included praise from the royal family of the Griffon Kingdom for Chester's enthusiastic actions, as well as apologies and regrets for his family, and also tactfully explained the amount of gold coins, hoping to bring a small amount of compensation.
At that time, Henry held the letter and a large bag of gold coins in his hands, and felt a deep sense of loss in his heart. He suddenly found this feeling of missing something inexplicably familiar.
After that, the residents of 'Emsel' could only see Henry for medical treatment. From the initial distrust of the residents to the subsequent appreciation, Henry's reputation gradually spread around.
Although his personality is slightly withdrawn, everyone doesn't care about it. This is normal, and capable people have weird personalities, just like mages.
Had that not happened, Henry might have been a respected healer like his uncle all his life. But what happened when he was 26 years old changed his whole life.
In other words, his life had completely changed since he was a child.
It was one day in late autumn, and a dying woman was carried by the guards into Henry's medical hall. Listening to the guards' guesses, she seemed to be planning to go elsewhere through 'Emsel', but unfortunately encountered several robbers on the way.
When this woman was carried to Henry, Henry knew that she was helpless. In fact, as he expected, the woman quickly closed her eyes, and lost her heartbeat and breathing.
The guards in the town hoped to put the woman's body in Henry's hospital, and after they found out the identity of the woman, her family would come to claim it.
Henry nodded in agreement as usual. In the past, many corpses waiting to be cremated were parked in the hospital. Those corpses were placed in separate compartments, and special herbs evaporated in the air of the compartment, temporarily delaying the decay of the corpses.
The next day, the guards sent fast horses to the surrounding towns and villages, but the specific situation has not been inquired yet.
That night, Henry was ready to leave after filling the compartment with volatile herbs that inhibit decay. Before he left, he accidentally saw the female corpse, and suddenly found that her clothes looked familiar.
Pink dome hat with scarf, cotton, grey one-piece dress with wavy stripes. The upper body of the long dress was a little messy, not only was it stained with a lot of dirt, but the shoulder straps on one side also fell off.
Henry withdrew the foot that had stepped out of the compartment, and an inexplicable emotion drove him to walk towards the woman. He came to her side, reached out to pull her shoulder straps, and reached out to wipe off some of the dirt from her face.
Immediately afterwards, the inexplicable emotion drove his palm down again, brushing off a small piece of mud on the woman's neck, and then the palm continued to go down, and finally touched the familiar coldness and softness.
The next moment, the memory buried in the deepest part of my heart was suddenly opened, and the blurry scene that had been gradually forgotten became completely clear at this moment.
The strange movements of that man and that woman kept appearing in Henry's mind, causing the inexplicable emotion in his heart to expand and swell. Finally, driven by this uncontrollable emotion, Henry reached out to the hem of the woman's clothes.
…
The woman's body was claimed by her family on the ninth day. Rather than taking her back to her hometown, her family opted to have her cremated on the spot near the town.
Henry also attended the funeral at that time, and when he watched the woman's body slowly turn to ashes in the flames, the feeling of something lost, haunted his heart again, making him feel extremely irritable and disgusted.
After that, Henry would feel an inexplicable happiness and peace of mind whenever a woman's body of a proper age was stored in the compartment. But such times are rare after all. The mainland has been in peace for a long time, and it is not always the case that young women die mysteriously.
Gradually, Henry felt more and more dissatisfied, and he began to try to prescribe some inaccurate herbs to those women who were a little ill but not life-threatening.
Even so, UU reading www.uukanshu.com could not relieve his increasingly distorted nature and hungry desires. In the end, Henry began to take the initiative to find prey that would satisfy him in the small town and surrounding cities under the guise of medical treatment.
This situation continued for nearly three years, and more than a hundred women died at his hands. Although Henry was able to use his expertise to disguise every incident as an accidental sudden illness, it did not cause much commotion. But as the death toll mounted, there was a growing sense that something was wrong.
In the end, a nobleman who lost his daughter, spent a lot of money to entrust a large number of adventurers, and finally focused his attention on Henry...
Demon Soul Corpse Henry stretched his sharp-clawed tongue into the air, searching for the breath of the prey around him like a snake letter. The icy corpse is its favorite, and the remaining consciousness in its soul fire is eager for endless killing and devouring.
Suddenly, the Demon Soul Corpse turned to look at the darkness in the distance. In that direction, an icy breath rushed towards him.
Immediately afterwards, the demon soul corpse Henry discovered that the icy aura was so strong that it was countless times colder than what happened one day in its youth.
The Demon Soul Corpse quickly judged that it was not the target it could hunt. It turned and ran away quickly, but the icy aura followed closely behind it and got closer and closer.
When it turned its head to look behind it, it found a tall nightmare beast with green fireflies burning all over its body, smashing through the substantial darkness around it, and suddenly appearing in front of it.
