Chapter 350: Chapter 86, Knocking on the Big Bamboo Stick_1
Link was speechless.
Could he be any more straightforward?
Couldn’t he at least say something to encourage morale or inspire people?
And your team is mostly medical department staff that you fooled into joining, right?
They’re still technically part of the Medical Department.
He’s using employees of the medical department to undermine the department itself.
How could he even think of that?
Not just Link, everyone was speechless.
The five potion developers and potion masters from the Medical Department, including the two team leaders, had indescribable expressions on their faces.
What the hell was that announcement?
How could it be so shocking?!
But old Morpheus didn’t care, he disregarded everyone’s reactions.
He took the team and supplies, and with grandeur and high spirits, headed to the front line.
After some transportation, the potion department assistance group successfully arrived at the camp hosting over 60,000 contaminated fairies in the fairy world.
The Five-Clan Coalition Government made significant efforts to maintain order in the camps.
Soldiers at the site enforced an orderly queue and prevented chaos.
Fearing the citizens causing trouble and annoying this group of intimidating wizards.
If they ended up inciting another oppressive crackdown and a breakout of killing, everything would be ruined.
No fairy would dare to take the blame when faulted.
When Potion Department’s assistance group arrived at the Wizards’ temporary camp, they found the medical department’s potion makers and pharmacists extremely busy.
Tons of raw materials constantly flowed in like water.
Barrels of potion base flowed out continuously like water.
They’d then dump it into a vat the size of a building for dilution. After, it’d be piped to lines of long queues.
Each contaminated fairy, in turn, would receive a big cup to drink on the spot, not permitted to take with them.
This was to prevent the fairies who were parents from preserving their share for their children.
Morpheus assigned eight potion department employees to help out on the medical department’s potion production line, and then went to discuss matters with Salossal.
Meanwhile, Link observed the contaminated fairies.
Based on their pupils and physical appearance, the deviation symptoms displayed by the contaminated fairies weren’t very obvious, and the rate of deviation was slow.
Apparently, the remnants of the fairy royal clan didn’t take much of the finished products from the “Biological Factory”.
Only after dilution could it affect over 60,000 fairies.
The treatment the Medical Department was producing at full force aimed to halt the deviation process and replenish some vitality, addressing the symptoms and root problems.
The only flaw was that it couldn’t revert any physical or facial changes that had occurred due to the contamination.
Having roughly understood the situation, Link was puzzled. The Medical Department could have handled the current situation alone.
It would have just taken a bit more time.
Wizard Salossal didn’t need to borrow Link from Sage Palo.
Could there be changes that Link hadn’t discovered?
Just then, old Morpheus was motioning Link over.
“Minister Morpheus, do you need something?”
Link went over and asked first, then greeted Salossal, “Hello, Minister Salossal, I’m Link Grande.”
“I know who you are.”
Salossal spoke first in a low voice, “You’re the genius potion master who’s shamed my medical department time and time again. It’s no wonder even the Serene Wizard admitted he’s no match for you!”
Morpheus countered immediately: “The shame is due to your incompetency. Who else can you blame?”
After rebutting, Morpheus ignored the grim face of Salossal and told Link.
“The Medical Department called for you because a fairy of significant status has also been contaminated.
This fairy is quite crucial to our public influence and pacification measures, so it would be best if we could restore his appearance.”
The treatments proposed by the Medical Department fall short. They aren’t perfect.
So, they want to see if the renowned genius, you, who knows fairies so well, have any bright ideas.
Don’t worry about what the Medical Department is spouting. Weigh it yourself and see if you can do it.
If not, we’ll pack up and leave.”
Upon hearing this, Link fell into deep thought.
Morpheus’ words concealed alternative meanings, but the surface meaning was clear.
This was a tricky task where failure might lead to blame, and success wouldn’t earn much credit.
The Medical Department was intentionally praising you, inflating your ego, and making you complacent. And then they’d pass this tricky task onto you.
If you succeed, then you succeed. It doesn’t matter.
But if you don’t, they’d start the mockery.
Who told you to attract so much attention and incite jealousy.
“Where is this fairy? Let’s look at the situation first.”
Link’s research on enhancing and perfecting the biochemical modifications from the very beginning prevented any physical deformation.
He had never seriously studied reversing physical deformation.
So he was quite interested in this sudden task.
It was a challenge, albeit not too big or small.
“Over here.”
Wizard Salossal personally led Morpheus and Link.
They arrived at a makeshift surgery setup at the back of the camp.
Inside, a fairy with a significant degree of deformation lay unconscious on the operating table.
Only one wizard was there, observing the fairy’s vital signs.
Salossal, Morpheus, and Link each went through sterilization procedures and entered the operating room.
“May I examine it?”
After observing some of the fairy’s characteristics and the data on the nearby medical instruments, Link asked, in a soft voice.
