Chapter 466 - Tamers War - Medical Experts
Moving through the castle corridors, Ren gradually realized the structure was truly enormous, much more than he had anticipated from the already imposing exterior.
A bunch of people with different tasks seemed to live here permanently. There were cooks running with trays, cleaners maintaining tapestries, scribes carrying documents, guards patrolling in rotations, and dozens of other workers whose specific functions Ren couldn’t identify.
Most looked busy and hurried, though he didn’t know if this was normal or if the current frenzy was because of the war.
The scale was impressive, a self-contained ’city’ within the castle walls, hundreds of people whose lives revolved around maintaining and supporting the royal family and their operations.
After considerable time moving through different corridors and stairs, many more than Ren first expected, they finally arrived where Julius wanted to take them.
It was a castle section clearly dedicated to medical functions, with specialized rooms and the distinctive smell of medicinal herbs and healing potions.
There were the experts Julius had mentioned.
The first was an older man with a Parasitic Venus, a disturbing-looking beast that resembled a carnivorous plant but with tentacles that looked like hair all over its body and moved constantly.
It was an evolutionary variant of Hana’s Venus Antenna (one of Larissa’s guards).
The creature was Silver rank and had detection abilities that could analyze internal body conditions with micrometric precision.
The second expert had a Leech Bee, equally Silver rank, whose appearance was a somewhat disturbing amalgamation between insect and lamprey. It was significantly larger than a three-year-old child, with a pulsing abdomen and long, hairy antennae with enormous sensory capacity.
Ren immediately realized both beasts were tremendously useful for medical diagnosis.
