Aponia's Sanatorium, Divine Key: Abyss Flower
After all, the Cat Anchor is much more reliable than the emergency food in Teyvat next door, and it won't say that the area ahead can be explored later.
"Oh, I'm sorry, sir, we have some other things to take care of. I'll be your guide..."
Pardo scratched her head, chuckled dryly, and took a few steps back. She had no desire to get involved with the three masked monsters; the last masked monster she had seen had already traumatized the child.
I'm talking to you, Brother Jie!
"Hehe~ I'll give you a chance to rephrase your words. Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing."
As Bai Ge spoke, he took out a few coins from his pocket and tossed them around, instantly captivating Pardo's eyes.
She wouldn't have reacted so strongly to ordinary coins, but the key was that the coins in Bai Ge's pocket were gleaming gold! With her sharp eyes, she could tell at a glance that they were definitely real gold coins!
Immediately, Pardo changed her tune and patted her nascent chest, saying something.
"Boss, you have a great eye for talent! I, Pardofelis, am the best guide in Twilight Street! I know this place like the back of my hand, please let me serve you!" (Good job, Wang Hao!)
"Hmm~ Not bad. Then take me to a place Aponia's Sanatorium. I'm here to visit a friend."
As Bai Ge spoke, he tossed a gold coin to Pardo, a bunch of which Eden had given him a few days ago after drinking.
Pardo caught the gold coin and grinned from ear to ear, thinking that she had really met a tycoon today. She quickly stuffed the gold coin into the shallow cleavage of her chest.
"Oh? Boss, you and Sister Nia are friends."
"No, Kalpas and I are friends."
"What?!!"
Bai Ge's words made Cat Anchor bristle again.
Who is Kalpas? He's the most hot-tempered guy on Twilight Street! Every time Pardo encounters Kalpas, she's terrified of getting set on fire.
At the Aponia sanatorium, just saying "The Kalpas have arrived" will make a crying and fussing child quiet down the next second.
How could such a hot-tempered man have friends? Pardo glanced at the Soul Steel Mask on Bai Ge's face and wondered if these two were friends who were mask enthusiasts.
"Boss, you're actually Brother Jie's friend?"
"What? Doesn't look like it? Let me tell you, Kalpas and Herrscher of Ice have a very close friendship, the mask he's wearing was a gift from me."
"Zun Du is fake?! You're amazing! You actually get along with that Kalpas."
Pardo immediately showed a look of surprise and admiration.
Every time she delivered supplies to the sanatorium, she would avoid Kalpas, because even an Ultraman Tiga mask couldn't hide Kalpas's volcanic eruption-like aura.
"Of course~ By the way, tell me how he's been lately? Has his temper improved?"
"Well, he's working as a porter at Sister Nia's sanatorium now. As for his temper... well, we can't say for sure."
Pardo shrank her neck and led the way while saying this.
...Draw...
Meanwhile, inside a sanatorium on Twilight Street.
"A! Bon! N! Ya!!"
Wearing Ultraman Tiga mask, Kalpas angrily shouted the name of a nun.
Second update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips!
Chapter 241, The Sanatorium of Aponia, God Keys: Black Abyss White Flower (Please subscribe automatically)
After the Herrscher of Ice was killed by Bai Ge and Kalpas.
Kalpas his village was destroyed and he lost his home, Qianjie became a wanderer. He didn't know where he was going, he just kept walking.
In the end, they traveled an unknown distance.
Kalpas arrived at a place called Twilight Street.
Exhausted, Kalpas sat on the side of the street when he was spotted by the children of the Aponia's Sanatorium. Perhaps because of the Ultraman Tiga mask on his face, the children were not afraid of him but instead took the initiative to talk to him.
With nowhere else to go, Kalpas was taken in by a sanatorium and became a porter... who also served as the gatekeeper and bodyguard.
So, after a long journey, he found a new place to stay, but the peace did not last long.
Now!
Kalpas will once again face the torment of 'loss'.
"Abonya!"
Inside the sanatorium, a furious Kalpas roared at the nun in front of him, as if he were about to kill her at any moment.
But Aponia showed no fear, not even a hint of emotion. The nun looked at Kalpas Calamity as if she were looking at a child throwing a tantrum.
"Kalpas, please calm down."
"Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down! Tsk!"
Kalpas clicked his tongue in displeasure. Aponia's words possessed an incredible power, capable of subconsciously inducing obedience, which did indeed lessen his anger somewhat.
But this only made Kalpas feel more unhappy and angry. He clenched his fists, knowing that if he threw this punch with all his might, he could destroy the street or even kill Herrscher.
However, the current situation cannot be resolved through violence.
"Three more kids are dying today. If this continues, they will all die soon."
"...I know."
Aponia's eyes were filled with compassion.
After the Honkai in Twilight Street, she created this sanatorium to take in patients Honkai Disease, but all Aponia could do was take them in.
Although she possesses the ability to "persuade" others and see through their fates with her threads, she lacks the power to change fate or cure the Honkai Disease.
With the Sixth Honkai Eruption underway, the global concentration of Honkai Energy has surged dramatically, and the young patients in the sanatoriums who could have held on for a while are now on the verge of collapse.
"I know, I know, yet you still don't try to save these brats! What good is praying every day? Haven't they already made a cure for them, that moth thing?"
Kalpas growled. Although he called the children "kids" without any politeness, he was so anxious that he could not bear it when he saw the children suffering unbearable pain from the Honkai Energy.
"363, thank you for caring about them, Kalpas."
Aponia looked pleased.
"Huh? Who cares about those kids! I just... Damn it! Don't look at me like that. If you have time for those pointless prayers, you should hurry up and buy that serum. These guys' crying and screaming every day is so noisy and annoying!"
Kalpas Jie gritted his teeth, wanting to flip the table. Everything about this sanatorium made him feel comfortable, except for Aponia!
"... I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."
"Ah?"
"Kalpas, the Moth Chasing Fire didn't allocate any serum to treat Honkai Energy to our Twilight Street. We can't buy any medicine to treat the children here, and..."
Aponia's eyes dimmed.
She had confirmed countless times that the fate of the Honkai Disease in the sanatorium was coming to an end, which meant that inevitable death was approaching them.
"Enough! I already know you're incompetent. Since that's the case, I'll do it my own way!"
Kalpas seemed to have had enough of her pessimism, and like an angry lion, he turned to leave.
Aponia knew what he wanted to do and immediately frowned as she spoke.
"You can't do that, Kalpas."
"Hmph! What I do is none of your business!"
Kalpas's idea was very simple.
Since there was no cure on Twilight Street, they would look elsewhere. Kalpas didn't mind using violence to rob the Moth Chasing Fire, and he never cared about the word "consequences."
However, what no one knew was that at this moment, Kalpas felt a sense of regret.
Bai Ge had given him the communication terminal that allowed him to contact others, but Kalpas crushed it without saying a word.
Now, thinking back on it, he wishes he could go back in time and break the hand that crushed the terminal back then.
(If I could get in touch with that guy, I could probably get the medicine... Ughhhhh! Damn it! Damn it! Bastard!)
Behind the mask, Kalpas's expression was distorted, as if he were angry or in pain.
He took a deep breath to suppress the burning anger in his heart.
Kalpas has made a decision: immediately go to the nearest Moth Chasing Fire base to find the medicine to treat Honkai Disease. No matter what the consequences may be, the children in the sanatorium must be healed first.
This is the second "home" he has finally arrived at.
They are new family members whom I finally found after a long time.
Therefore, no matter what, Kalpas will not repeat the same mistake this time. No matter what the cost, he will definitely protect everything he cherishes!
"Kalpas, it's too late for you."
As if stating a fact that was destined to happen, Aponia sighed and said that even if Kalpas made such a decision, the predetermined fate would not change in the slightest.
Aponia doesn't yet have the ability to foresee the future, but she can already imagine that the person will probably be dead before Kalpas return after robbing the Moth Chasing Fire.
"Aponia, shut up!"
Kalpas could no longer tolerate it. He threw a punch that punched a large hole in the wall of the sanatorium... or rather, a small part of the sanatorium was about to collapse.
Just then, a panicked voice came from inside.
