When Asha heard what the soldier who came to report said, her expression suddenly changed.
Although she had had several quarrels with her uncle due to ideological reasons, Victarion was her last relative after all. After hearing such news, how could Asha remain indifferent?
"quick!"
"Go back immediately!"
Then Asha no longer cared about looking for gold mines here, but climbed onto the war horse with her entourage and ran non-stop to the beach where the fleet was docked.
At this moment, Victarion's condition was not very good. His face was pale, he had fallen into an unconscious coma, and foam was still spitting out of his mouth.
In fact, Victarion had noticed something was wrong with him a long time ago, but he didn't take it too seriously at that time.
As the former captain of the Invincible Ironborn and the most capable third eldest son of the Greyjoy family, Victarion suffered countless injuries, large and small, in his life, and there were many more serious ones, and he did not take this into account.
I took minor injuries as one thing and kept trying to hold on.
But this morning, he suddenly had a bad premonition. Victarion felt that his body was a little hot, as if the blood in his body was boiling, especially at the wound.
The hot feeling was like a soldering iron on his arm.
Victarion thought there was something wrong with the wound he had bandaged, or there was something wrong with the herbs used to cover it. Then he tore off the bandage, fainted, and fell onto the deck.
Fortunately, Victarion fainted and was noticed by the surrounding soldiers, who carried him to the bed board in the cabin in time, and then called in the accompanying doctors for treatment.
Before Asha arrived, the doctors accompanying the army had already finished bloodletting Victarion. In this era of lack of medical technology, people generally use these simple methods to treat diseases, such as bleeding, burning, and removing carrion.
, as well as some anesthetic herbs or anti-infective and bactericidal herbs, etc.
thump thump thump
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the cabin door, and then with a bang, Asha hurriedly opened the door and walked in.
Then she saw her uncle lying on the hospital bed, looking pale and weak, but already awake. On the other side, the doctor accompanying the army was putting the blood-sucked leeches back into the bottle with a clamp.
"grown ups."
The doctor quickly stood up and wanted to salute, but Asha ignored him. Instead, she looked at her uncle with bright eyes. When she saw that the uncle was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and asked.
"what happened?"
In fact, unmarried girls of noble birth like Asha should be respectfully called 'Miss', while older or married ones will be called 'Madam', not titles like 'Sir' or 'General', but
Asha didn't like this name for women, so she asked everyone to change it.
"Sir's wound is recovering well and there is no infection. Perhaps it is because he is not accustomed to the local environment after arriving in a foreign country for the first time."
The military doctor from King's Landing hesitated for a moment before speaking.
At first, he thought it was Victarion's wound infection, but after careful inspection, he found that not only did his wound show no abnormalities, but he was recovering very well based on his strong body.
Therefore, the doctor who really didn't know what to do chose to bleed him. After all, he also treated poor people when he was in King's Landing, and his master once told him to bleed him first when he was in doubt.
However, he didn't expect that he used the leeches he raised to give Victarion some blood, and he actually woke up again, but it was not clear whether this was considered a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.
"I'm no jazz, old man."
Victarion, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke at this moment, his voice was a little dull, and then he sat up from the bed.
He raised his injured arm and looked at it. The wound on it had almost healed, and then he clenched his fist slightly. The strong muscles on his arm bulged, and there was some slight tearing pain in the wound. Everything seemed to be as usual.
Nothing happened.
He didn't know why he fainted suddenly just now, but now the heat in his body had dissipated, as if he had been in a dream, but he knew that it was not a dream just now.
Gu/span>There is also some itching on my back. What’s going on?
"uncle."
When Asha saw that Victarion had just woken up, she sat up and frowned slightly.
"How are you feeling now?"
"fine."
Victarion simply nodded, and at this moment, his hand seemed to touch something, and then he paused slightly.
Victarion, who had long black hair mixed with a bit of gray and had always had a calm and weathered face, had a rare slight change in his face, and even took a breath, as if he had thought of something.
"how?"
Asha keenly noticed her uncle's abnormality and hurriedly asked.
"Asha, let everyone else leave first."
Victarion's face was tense, and his brows were knitted into a knot. After being silent for a while, he slowly spoke.
"I'll tell you alone."
Everyone present looked at each other in shock after hearing what he said, and then looked at Asha. After getting a positive answer, everyone except her withdrew, and only Asha and Vic were left in the entire cabin.
Talion's uncle and nephew.
"What happened? Uncle."
The woman with short black hair couldn't wait to ask.
However, Victarion did not speak in a hurry, but turned around and took off his shirt, revealing his strong back.
Asha didn't understand what her uncle was doing at first, but then when she saw Victarion clearly, her expression suddenly changed.
"This is"
Asha Greyjoy was shocked, with disbelief written all over her face.
Because she saw a small piece of fish scales that grew out of nowhere on the skin of Victarion's back, just like the scales on the monster when she was attacked.
"Why is this happening?"
"Could it be"
Asha's expression changed drastically and she spoke eagerly. She thought of Victarion being bitten by the other party. Could it be that he was infected at that time?
She didn't expect that this monster was actually caused by a virus. Could it be a variant of greyscale?
But then Asha denied this, because she had been in close contact with him before, and there was still an essential difference between the monster and the stone people.
