A Hospital in Another World? Chapter 1054: Teacher, Bad News, Little Greyrat is Going to be Taken Away by an Elf!
Previously on A Hospital in Another World?...
No matter what, the Legendary Mages who received the benefits—at least, got interested in the research direction—were definitely not going to be stingy.
The Lord of Thunder successfully acquired a heap of resources. Quickly, he picked and chose, and exchanged them for 300 sets of superconducting suits for Garrett—delivery within five days.
Well, as long as you pay enough, there are always high-level mages in the council willing to rush the work. Isn’t it just compressing air, cooling air, purifying air, and then immersing the wires in it?
After the superconducting suits were finished, the Lord of Thunder used the resources to requisition a small airship from the council. He specifically dispatched Archmage Carlisle to deliver the goods to Garrett.
Archmage Carlisle: ...Why is it always me?
Teacher, you’ve changed! Ever since Garrett joined... no, ever since Garrett entered your sight, I’ve no longer been your most beloved disciple! For little Garrett, you even enjoy watching me suffer!
Despite this, Archmage Carlisle still diligently accepted the goods, diligently piloted the small airship (not the same one he took when he first met Garrett), diligently crossed the ocean, then crossed the continent, and flew towards the Kingdom of the Eagle.
The Lord of Thunder's instructions were clear: Although Garrett is still in the Kingdom of the Eagle now, who knows when he might head to the southern part of the New World, or even to the Elven Island;
He has an elf by his side, a high-level Druid warrior of about level 16. Although she wouldn’t kidnap him, it would be easy for her to lead him somewhere;
If you arrive late and Garrett has already left with the elf, you’ll have to find a way to deliver the goods yourself;Failing to deliver the goods leading to a lack of combat power, a lack of combat power leading to Garrett having some minor accident...
Oh, this part wasn’t explicitly stated by the Lord of Thunder, but Archmage Carlisle understood:
In terms of research achievements, development potential, and contributions to the council, Garrett is far more important than him in any direction. To put it plainly, if he and Garrett were in danger together, he would also risk his life to rescue Garrett first.
So, although Archmage Carlisle grumbled, he did not delay, filled the airship with magic crystals, and set off.
The speed of the small airship was even faster than the large one that could carry hundreds of people. It sped all the way, taking just over half a month to reach Tenochtitlan. He parked in front of the research institute, got off, and inquired...
"Garrett? Went mountain climbing."
Archmage Jennings personally directed him. Carlisle looked up, and up, towards the distant snow-capped peak, his eyes getting brighter:
"What a great place!"
Just standing here, looking at the terrain and topography of the snow peak, he had an intuition: the elemental power of this place must be extremely abundant. Garrett chose to go there to climb?
He finally understood, he wanted to find a place rich in elemental power for meditation—although the meditation room in the Mage Tower is good, it can't replace a natural treasure land—to practice spell casting and improve his level and combat power?
"I'll go have a look!"
Carlisle thanked Archmage Jennings, parked the small airship properly. He looked up at the snow mountain, casually pointed, and a lightning bolt fell from the sky—
"Crack!"
Where the lightning struck, Archmage Carlisle’s figure disappeared, simultaneously appearing in the distant lightning. Immediately after, another bolt of lightning took him to the foot of the mountain...
Using lightning to jump continuously, in an instant, he appeared at the top of the high mountain. Standing at the edge of the crater, he looked around, seeing a vast expanse of white snow, with the most conspicuous thing being an oak staff stuck in the crater—
Rather than an oak staff, it looked more like an oak tree, with a straight trunk and drooping branches and leaves. Among the leaves, a silver-white kitten lay lazily, curled into a ball and sleeping soundly.
At a glance, white fur on white fur, the white fur covering the white fur, even the head, ears, and pink little cat nose were nowhere to be seen.
...So this is the teacher’s Lightning Cat!
Just given to Garrett like that!
Archmage Carlisle felt a pang of jealousy before he moved his gaze, trying hard to find where Garrett was. A glance down revealed two girls standing side by side at the bottom of the crater, clapping and cheering:
"Garrett! Push harder! Run faster!"
"Garrett! One more lap!"
"Garrett..."
Huh?
Where is Garrett?
Looking more carefully, there was a black panther stumbling and staggering in the snow below. The left front paw went first, then the right front paw touched the ground, then the left hind paw, and the right hind paw...
Running a few steps, slipping once, running a few more steps, slipping again... running more, at some point, it gradually started moving with both feet on the same side...
The black panther ran a few more steps, saw a snow mound ahead, slowed down a bit, tried to go around it from the side. But a wrong force underfoot made it roll with its back to the snow mound, even flipping its pale belly out.
It lay on its back, flailing its legs in the air, before finally finding a way to flip back over...
Its clumsy movements and the violent fall made Archmage Carlisle cover his forehead in pain, unable to bear watching.
Wait a minute... is that Garrett?
Garrett, you’re finally practicing your panther transformation seriously?
With such movement capability... with such movement capability... you might as well not transform at all! How can there be a panther like you, if I were the enemy, I would definitely target you first!
You really need to avoid your weaknesses, play to your strengths, and use your characteristics as a mage. Even if you fly, float, ride the Phantom Steed, summon a floating disc to sit on, or find something to drag you along...
Don’t do this!
He took a deep breath, calming his emotions to avoid losing composure in front of the two ladies. Hmm, one is Cirilla, he recognized her, the other with short green hair and a spear on her back, should be the elven warrior?
Fortunately, he hurried and arrived quickly, if he had been slower, Garrett might have been taken deep into the forest by the elf...
Although as a level 15 mage, he had plenty of tracking methods, he wouldn't be unable to find him, but it would be troublesome!
"Garrett!"
Archmage Carlisle shouted from the mountain top. Hearing his shout, Cirilla looked up and waved vigorously at him. The black panther also glanced up, then looked up again, and again...
Twisted its head, tilted its head, and twisted its spine into a strange curve...
And fell over...
Luckily, the panther had a low center of gravity, rolled over, and landed on all fours again. Shaking its head, a faint green glow enveloped its body.
When the light faded, standing in its place was a young mage in loose robes, his face dirty, with rips all over his robe.
"Senior Brother Carlisle! When did you arrive!" Garrett shouted, his voice full of joy. Archmage Carlisle even heard a trace of relief:
Thank goodness, someone finally came to interrupt, finally can escape the class, finally don’t have to train today...
Two hours later, at Garrett's place. Archmage Carlisle began taking boxes of supplies out of the space bag:
"These are the superconducting suits you wanted. Ten sets per box, thirty boxes in total. The teacher gathered a group of mages from the Sculpture and Modeling Department for emergency production, even he himself made some—use them sparingly, this is all you’ll have until you return to Nevis!"
"Wow, Senior Brother Carlisle, you’re the best!"
Thirty metal boxes were stacked on the table. They seemed to be made of mithril mixed with other metals—Garrett couldn’t help but marvel at how mithril production had indeed increased—and felt slightly warm to the touch.
Tentatively opening a box, he saw it divided into ten small compartments, each filled with a chill, yet sealed tightly by a magic array, with not a bit of cold escaping even with the lid open.
Garrett beamed, stuffing them one by one into his space bag. Archmage Carlisle watched him and shook his head slightly:
"So, you’ve been hanging around the crater just to practice transformation spells?"
"Sister Moon Song originally wanted me to practice on the road... but the panther form is really difficult." Garrett lowered his head dejectedly:
"They said it’s the most convenient for fast movement in the jungle, but I can’t even walk properly on flat ground... as soon as I speed up a bit, I move both legs on the same side..."
"You’re still going into the jungle?!"
It’s over, just as the teacher predicted, little Garrett is really going to be taken away by the elf.
Though it doesn’t mean he wouldn’t come back after going to the Elven Island... but with Garrett’s combat capability, even his physical mobility, entering the jungle...
It’s really worrisome...
"This, Molly’s father, there’s been news. He went to explore the elven ruins with his friends, most of them died, and Molly’s father got a strange illness and was sealed in a tree."
Garrett explained to his senior brother in detail, also to report his whereabouts to the sect, to put the teacher at ease:
"I plan to go over and take
a look... they’re in dense rainforests, not easy to traverse... now we’re waiting for Molly’s husband, Uncle Hawthorn, to adjust after his advancement, then we’ll set off..."
Luckily, I hurried and caught up. Archmage Carlisle wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:
"If I had been a bit slower, you’d have gone into the old forest?"
"Well, we’d definitely wait for you." Garrett spread his hands innocently:
"I figured you’d arrive within two months, and anyway, Molly’s father has been sealed in the ancient tree for so many years, a couple of months won’t make a difference. By the way, after going over there, I’ll check the situation, maybe even visit the Elven Island..."
"What?!"
Still going to the Elven Island?!
Teacher, bad news, little Garrett is really going to be taken away by the elf...
