Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

With the tragic deaths of Kofsky and a few knights, the situation here is completely under Cullennan's control.

Although Cullennan would indeed reward the rebellious knights and mercenaries with three times the mercenary money, this was only due to the reputation that the Campbell family had maintained for hundreds of years.

As for these knights who aided and abetted the evil and the mercenaries who were like fence-sitters, whether they would still have the life to spend money in the future was another matter. One thing for one thing, this was Cullennan's business principle.

Elsa and Bai Hao were obviously aware of Cullennan's methods. From the very beginning, when the couple saw Bai Hao covered in blood, they had no intention of letting any of the knights and mercenaries here go.

At this moment, under the water element healing magic of the great magician Elsa, the wounds on Bai Hao's body have basically healed and scabbed, and Bai Hao quickly used light healing magic to remove the scars.

"Brother Bai Hao!"

Kalia quickly ran towards Bai Hao, and hugged Bai Hao tightly regardless of the blood stains all over his body. Feeling the warm tears on her shoulders, Bai Hao gently stroked Kalia's back.

"General, I am incompetent. Please punish me according to military law!"

Michelle had stood aside and bowed to Elsa to apologize. Bai Hao looked at Elsa who was about to scold Michelle and said quickly, "Mother, this cannot be blamed on housekeeper Michelle. I underestimated the despicableness of Kofsky. Otherwise, Michelle would definitely take me away from here!"

Anan, who was standing behind Michelle, hunched his body and dared not look at Bai Hao. After all, Bai Hao had helped him escape back to Nanshu Mountains in Nannan Village, but he repaid his kindness with hatred.

Bai Hao looked at Anan who was huddled aside without saying a word and introduced him to his mother loudly: "This tree man is called Anan, and he is a magical creature in the Nanshu Mountains."

"Kalia and I were teleported deep into the mountains. Thanks to Anan for taking care of us, otherwise we would have become food for wild beasts after being unconscious for three days."

Hearing this, Elsa looked at the strange tree man behind Michelle with some surprise. She had already noticed this strange creature. After all, in Elsa's perception, Anan was just a Nan tree that could be seen everywhere, without any magical fluctuations on his body.

Anan accepted Elsa's thanks embarrassedly, which made Anan even more afraid to look at Bai Hao. But then Bai Hao came to Anan, grabbed Anan's dead tree roots, and kept introducing Anan's magic to his mother. The atmosphere on the scene was filled with joy.

After explaining the follow-up work of the scouts, Kuronan discussed the things here with Michelle. Listening to Michelle's report and Bai Hao's introduction, Kuronan keenly noticed Anan's value, but just shook his head slightly and ignored it.

Anan is not only the savior of Bai Hao and Kalia, but also Bai Hao's friend. Kulonan will not disregard his integrity for the sake of profit like Kofsky.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Hao and his party returned to Nannan Village again. After seeing the tragically dead bodies of Erhuzi and several other villagers, Kudou sighed helplessly.

Although Kofsky was already dead, Pants Pocket still sighed and said, "We are lucky this time to have you here. Ever since Lord Krey left Krey Territory, those knights and mercenaries have started to cause trouble everywhere."

"I heard that the villages near the outer city of Kled are having a very hard time. The knights and mercenaries in the city have restrained themselves, but it's not easy for us in the small villages outside the city..."

The white-haired man looked at the village chief who was sitting on the ground and smiled and asked, "It just so happens that Kled Territory is part of my itinerary. There is a rather large library in the inner city here, right?"

Kudai nodded subconsciously. He remembered that when he was studying at the Elementary Magic School in Kled Territory a long time ago, he often went to the library in the inner city to read books. After all, the library did not charge any money as long as the magic apprentices were still in school.

This is basically the case for all libraries in the Swart Empire, which is one of the manifestations of the empire's emphasis on magical education. For poor Ku Pocket, the library in the inner city is one of the few places he can go.

Every time he went to the library, Ku Pocket would take a careful bath and make himself clean, but his patched and tattered clothes still made him suffer from discrimination on the streets of the inner city, and even in the library.

But until now, Pants Pocket still remembers all the sparsely populated paths leading to the inner city libraries, and he has never forgotten the quiet and deserted cozy corners in the libraries.

Just a few years of school life broadened Kudou's horizons and allowed him to successfully become a magic user. Kudou also mastered a lot of knowledge about medicinal herbs in the library.

"Oh, the library in the inner city, it's really a place worth remembering. Do you need a map, kid? I remember all the paths leading to the library!" Then the old village chief couldn't help but sighed, "It's a pity that I'm no longer an apprentice in the school. It takes a Swart standard silver coin to enter and exit the library, which is equivalent to my granddaughter's food for a week."

Bai Hao turned his head and signaled to several officers around him. Then a bag of heavy gold coins floated into Pants Pocket's arms. Pants Pocket was immediately shocked and said, "What is this? My Bright Moon Goddess, are you going to buy the entire Nannan Village?"

The white-haired man shook his head and said, "This is the payment for my temporary stay at your house and the loan of livestock from Nannan Village."

Seeing the old village chief who was about to stand up in excitement, Bai Hao hurriedly said, "I am unfamiliar with the Kled Territory, so I need to hire you to be my guide for a few days."

"I, I have always lived in Nannan Village. There are many excellent guides who are more familiar with Kled Territory than me. Child, you still..."

Bai Hao immediately pulled An Nan in front of him and said solemnly: "Old Village Chief, you misunderstood. Most of the money here is not for you, but my reward to An Nan."

"Anan saved my life and Kalia's life in the Nanshu Mountains. As the future Earl of Campbell, I was in a hurry this time and didn't bring more gold coins. Otherwise, my life would be worth more than this much money."

Then Bai Hao looked at An Nan with a smile and asked, "An Nan, do you accept it?"

Anan was stunned for a moment, then said, "I accept it! Of course I accept it! But I have no place to spend the money in Nanshu Mountain Range, so you should keep it in my pocket for me."

Kudou listened to the conversation between Bai Hao and An Nan, then looked at the bag of gold coins in his arms and could only nod blankly.

Kalia, who was standing by, felt a sense of déjà vu when watching this scene.
