章節 11: You don't want people to know you're a robber, do you?
Most fearfully, the air was suddenly quiet.
The two of them stared at each other like they met on the corner yesterday.
Yesterday he was a garbage man and she was a robber.
Today she had shed her veil and become a good girl.
And he stood in the clinic and became the well-mannered doctor.
Charlotte how could not imagine, yesterday that the modus operandi of the raw young girl, but so quickly appeared in front of him again.
Then the lies he told yesterday, will not all be exposed!
Should she not kill him on impulse?
Charlotte nervously pinched the magic charm, once she acted dangerously, she had to be snuffed out immediately.
Vivian looked at Charlotte, who was standing in front of the clinic, dressed appropriately, and was equally confused.
"This uncle, doesn't he make a living by picking up garbage and catching bugs? Doesn't he have a crippled daughter? Why does he look like the doctor of this clinic?"
Vivian felt like her mind was a muddle and froze for a while before suddenly realizing that she might have been tricked yesterday.
So his woeful and pitiful behavior yesterday was all a disguise?
And the things in that parcel weren't things he grabbed, but materials for refining potions?
That crippled daughter that moved her was also fabricated?
Vivian's round face gradually turned red, and she felt that all of her compassion yesterday had been fed to the dogs.
This kind of emotionally invested, and in the end found out that she was actually a joke, the feeling of shame and anger was no less than being abandoned after being toyed with by a scumbag.
Charlotte felt the icy killing aura, her heart was bitter, but her face didn't dare to show it, her expression was calm, "The clinic is closed today, if it's an emergency, you can change to another one."
Yes, he pretended not to recognize the other party.
Since she tore off her disguise and revealed her true colors, it meant that she wanted to follow her conscience.
"Maiden, you don't want people to know that you used to be a robber, do you?"
Charlotte looked at the young girl's eyes with an obvious meaning.
"Ahhhh? He even pretended not to recognize it!" Vivian's pupils dilated a few points, and her exasperation level went up a few more points.
But she quickly read Charlotte's eyes.
She felt the humiliation.
But as Charlotte had made clear, she had knocked on the clinic's door to get a job.
After a few days of being beaten up by society, she'd determined that she wasn't going to live off of robbery.
The man standing in front of her, for example, was enough to nail her to the pillar of shame!
She wanted to find a job as a doctor, there weren't many medical centers in the Abyss, the three larger ones were ruled out for her because they had too many patients and were too visible.
This small private medical center, which only received about ten patients a day, became her best choice.
But how could she not expect that the one who opened the door would be the object of yesterday's robbery.
"I ... I ..." Vivian's well-developed breasts rose and fell slightly, trying to restrain her emotions, "I'm not here to see a doctor, I want to find a job."
After saying that, she lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at Charlotte, her face even reddened to the root of her ears.
Yes, she could only pretend that she didn't recognize Charlotte as well.
"Looking for a job?" Charlotte looked at the red-faced young girl in front of her, and her first thought was to refuse.
A magician who looked extremely gullible, a rich white beauty who was obviously used to being raised in a good way, and who could also do healing arts, was suddenly stranded on the streets of the Abyss.
If you were to say that there wasn't some story behind this, Charlotte felt that his intelligence had been insulted.
But when the words reached his mouth, he hesitated.
The clinic was indeed in dire need of an assistant, and although the young girl in front of him was of unknown origin, she was extremely compatible with his requirements in all aspects.
If he had an assistant who knew healing techniques, the treatment of traumatized patients would become simpler.
If she knew the Cleansing Technique, then even the Cleansing Potion could be saved, which was a huge amount of money.
In the Abyss, you should never fantasize about being able to find an employee with a clean background who was kind and lovely.
You even had to always be on guard that the other party would murder you while you were asleep.
Even if it was the original body, it was a criminal who was officially recognized as a 『Medical Butcher』 by Calva, and was expelled after a year of incarceration.
And this young girl in front of him, who was like a white rabbit, had obviously just arrived in the big dye bowl that was the Abyss.
He had just tested it yesterday, the city was not deep and easily moved.
This was much more controllable than the Phantom Big Sister in the clubhouse.
"If I let you be an assistant, what is your expected salary?" Charlotte looked at Vivian and asked.
Vivian sniffed and thought seriously for a while.
If she had just arrived at the Abyss, as a mid-level Healing Department Magician who had received elite education at the Imperial Medical College since she was a child, she would definitely not be able to accept a salary of one or two ten thousand a month without it.
But after being beaten by the Abyss in turn, all she wanted now was a stable environment, to be able to eat well, sleep well, and not have to worry about being sold to an old man's house once she woke up would be enough.
Humble ...
"I ... I need food and shelter, and then a thousand copper coins a month." Vivian carefully stated her request, her eyes glancing at Charlotte with some apprehension.
Although she had been deceived by Charlotte only yesterday, in this abyss where demons and monsters were rampant, Charlotte, who was also a human, made her unconsciously rise a few points of closeness.
After all, she was the one who started the robbery, and it wasn't incomprehensible that he lied to get away with it.
What she was worried about now was whether Charlotte really didn't recognize her and would reject her because of what happened yesterday.
Charlotte's eyes lit up, a thousand copper coins to find a healing magician as an assistant, not only was it not expensive, it was blood money!
He was satisfied with the young girl's socially conditioned appearance.
He even wanted to sing a line, "Love you walking alone in a dark alley, love your inexpensive look!"
Even if he found an aunt to help clean up the hygiene, 1000 copper coins wouldn't be a loss.
Although satisfied, Charlotte didn't show it on her face, looking at Vivian critically, she said, "Describe your abilities briefly, I need to judge whether or not you're capable of working in the clinic."
Vivian's spirit was shaken, Charlotte didn't outright reject, indicating that she still had a game, and with a proper attitude, she said, "My name is Vivian, water intermediate magician, I know cleansing, hemostasis, and intermediate healing techniques."
"Intermediate level magician?" Charlotte was a bit surprised, this young girl named Vivian, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
Her strength had already reached the third rank amongst magicians, and she was only one rank away from him back then.
She was a genius!
The three magic skills were the most basic and practical skills of a doctor's profession, sufficient to deal with most patients' conditions.
"With your ability, even if you were to open a clinic alone, you would be able to handle it easily and earn more money, why do you want to come to this small place of mine to condescend yourself?" Charlotte stared at Vivian and asked directly.
Even if he was still heartbroken, he still needed to have some control over Vivian's situation.
Vivian's face clearly showed a few moments of panic, lightly biting her lips and trying to avoid Charlotte's gaze.
"If you can't be honest with me, it's hard for me to trust you to join the clinic." Charlotte spread her hands.
After hesitating and struggling for a moment, Vivian looked up into Charlotte's eyes, took a step forward, and whispered, "I won't hide it from you, there are people after me, and I wish to take refuge in a stable abode. You should know very well what kind of attention would be drawn to the Abyss if it opened a new medical clinic and the doctor was a young human girl of no great age."
Charlotte understood, similar to what he had expected.
"You're from the Imperial Capital of the Lance Empire?"
"Yes." Vivian nodded her head with certainty, and at the mention of the imperial capital, her gaze rediscovered its focus and became determined.
Although the young girl looked a bit distressed, her hair, which was meticulously tied behind her head, and her face, which was scrubbed clean, stubbornly maintained her decency.
The Imperial Capital was thousands of miles away from the Abyss, it was hard to imagine how she came here alone, she must have suffered a lot on the way.
A few moments of pity rose in Charlotte's heart.
"Come in." Charlotte stepped back.
"You agree?" Vivian's face was delighted, took a deep breath and stepped through the clinic door.
Charlotte swept a glance at the neighbors to the left and right; it was lunchtime, and no one had noticed what was going on over here, so she quickly closed the door and slid in the thick, heavy, iron-barred door latch.
Vivian's hands were behind her back, twisted together a little uneasily, but her eyes were surreptitiously surveying the clinic.
The clinic was clean, whether it was the floor, or the walls, including the stone beds and stone benches for consultation, all of them were cleanly taken care of.
It was completely different from the sights she had seen in other parts of the Abyss in the past two days.
This made her favor towards Charlotte increase a few more points.
Her eyes fell on the cabinet, the various organs soaking in those bottles and jars surprised her a bit, but as a medical student, she wasn't shocked, she just couldn't understand why Charlotte had collected so many organs.
Moving her eyes upwards were a dozen or so bottles of various potions.
Her eyes were quickly drawn to the white cat nestled in the cabinet, its pink paws folded, its long snow-white fur so silky and smooth, especially those golden, blue mandarin eyes that made Vivian fall instantly.
"What a beautiful cat!" Vivian exclaimed softly.
The lion cat also seemed to be a bit curious about this new guest, stretching its legs and jumping from the cabinet to the counter, then stepping on the edge with elegant cat steps, looking Vivian up and down.
"A little limp on the left front leg." Vivian keenly noticed something wrong with the cat's walking posture and looked at Charlotte and subconsciously asked, "She's Anna?"
And you say you're not a marijuana bandit! Charlotte felt funny in her heart, but didn't reveal it, nodding slightly, "Yes, her name is Anna."
Vivian had already realized the problem in her words, and her face, which had just recovered not long ago, brushed red again.
"You're blushing a bubble teapot?!" Charlotte was speechless.
If his enemy issued a reward, as long as he added the phrase 'habitual blushing', the difficulty of finding someone would definitely drop drastically.
"According to what you said earlier, you want to keep a low profile and avoid the enemy's search?" Charlotte picked up the topic.
"Yes. The other side is very powerful, I'm worried about them finding the Abyss." Vivian nodded.
"Then you're not afraid that I'll sell you out to collect a generous bounty?" Charlotte sneered.
"You won't." Vivian shook her head with certainty.
"How can you be so sure?"
Vivian pointed at Anna with a serious face, "Someone who treats cats like daughters, I'm sure you won't sell me for a small bounty."
She now felt that Charlotte hadn't lied yesterday, he did have a wailing elf at home.
How could such a loving person be a bad person?
