Chris didn't expect that the reason TianQuiznos wanted to leave Hillsprings was that he lost a bet on his Clinic.
What's more, he didn't expect that the reason why this old man bet with others was to win a medicine cauldron for himself.
He asked with some doubt "Dr. Shi, who made the bet with you?"
"I don't know." TianQuiznos replied "That man is quite crazy, he said his surname is Vaxton, and he is called Lomalo Vaxton."
"Lomalo?" Chris frowned when he heard these 2 words.
After Asher sent Grandpa the Blood Disseminating and Heart Saving tablet, he once heard her mention this name.
According to her, this person is a very senior Pathist priest in the American Springsen circle Known as Lomalo, who is very close to his grandma, and at that time, his grandpa was critically ill, so he made a special trip to treat the old man.
After seeing the effectiveness of the tablet, this person wanted to find the person who made the tablet. After hearing from his uncle Manuel that there was a Re-juvenation tablet in Hillsprings, he immediately decided to come to Hillsprings to look for it.
Asher specifically reminded him at that time that he should be careful of this Lomalo in the future, but he was still in the U.S at the time, so he didn't take this person seriously.
but now it seems that this person has indeed come to Hillsprings, and has found someone close to him.
He made a bet with TianQuiznos. He didn't know whether he simply fell in love with TianQuiznos's Clinic, or he had found out a clue, so he especially found an entry point from TianQuiznos.
However, Chris wasn't nervous at all. In his opinion, a person who can be shocked by the Blood Disseminating and Heart Saving tablet has no great ability to judge him. Just can take him to the dog farm.
The reason why Chris is so overbearing is not blind confidence, but some small details of the other party have penetrated his bottom.
If a person is terrified when he sees a Rolls-Royce, then the person's social status probably cannot afford a Rolls-Royce.
People who can really afford Rolls-Royce, even if they don't have Rolls-Royce, don't think Rolls-Royce is unattainable.
So, he asked TianQuiznos "Lord Shi, what have you compared with him?"
TianQuiznos sighed, "He wants to compare my pulse with mine, and he wants to randomly choose a female patient who has given birth for a test. There are 3 points in total."
"The 1st point is to indicate the actual age of the other party, whoever is closest to the actual age will win; the 2nd point is to indicate the other party's menstrual date, and whoever is closest to the actual date will win; the 3rd point is Number the number of pregnancies of the other party, and whoever is closest to the actual number will win… There are 3 rounds in total, and the 2 winners of the 3 rounds will win in the end…"
Chris couldn't help but said awkwardly "Doctor Shi, let me make a digression, Is it not inappropriate for you 2 doctors to guess the menstruation and pregnancy times of female patients?"
TianQuiznos hastily explained "Lord Arthur, you don't know, these have always been the content of ancient imperiale doctors' competitions, although it sounds a little indecent, but in fact, because women have many more physiological stages than men, gynecology can best reflect the ability of a doctor to call the pulse."
"A doctor at a higher level can guess the date of delivery of a pregnant woman through the pulse signal, and a doctor at a higher level can even tell how many times the other party has been pregnant and how many babies have been born of her."
"It is said that there are top imperiale doctors who could even judge the sex of the fetus through the pulse, but this kind of person had only been seen in ancient books."
"Alright." Chris sighed helplessly, and asked him "2 out of 3 games, how many games did you lose?"
TianQuiznos lowered his head and said in shame "Mr. Arthur, this old man lost 3 rounds…"
Chris couldn't help frowning "The other party is just a Pathist priest. As far as I know, his research is often on alchemy. You're really lost 3 rounds to him?"
TianQuiznos buried his head even lower, and said, "I don't know why this Pathist priest's medical skills are so outstanding, but I'm really inferior to others…"
Chris asked again "How did you choose the subject of the competition? Is there a possibility that this person arranged for a patient to come over in advance, and then came to the door to challenge you, proposed the method of the competition, and then won it?"
"This…" TianQuiznos pondered for a moment, and murmured "I have no evidence to prove it, but I don't rule out the possibility."
Then, TianQuiznos said seriously "However, Lord Arthur, Pathists always pay attention to cultivating your mind and cultivating your character, then Lomalo shouldn't be so shameless, right?"
Chris smiled meaningfully, and said casually "If you are really a person who cultivates mind and character, why would you come here to bet with others?"
"Like the monks in the temple and the priests in the church, if they hang out with those dignitaries all day long and smell like copper, how can they really cultivate their minds?"
Chris said this because according to what Asher said it is said that Lomalo has a lot of friendship with his grandma.
In Chris's view, the 1st thing a person with true faith must do is to be indifferent to fame and fortune. If he spends all his energy on making friends with powerful people, how can his heart be pure?
Naturally, this Lomalo is also the same.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is absolutely impossible for a person like him to make friends with top dignitaries like his grandma.
If he didn't have to spend decades carefully managing himself, promoting himself, and packaging himself, how could he be in the eyes of grandma?
It can also be seen from this that this person's utilitarianism must be very heavy.
Is there anything unusual for a person with a very utilitarian mind to do some tricks while betting?
Sonia also suddenly realized this time, and blurted out "Lord Arthur, you are right! I think that person is very shrewd!"
"His words were also very provocative. At that time, he just said several words in front of those patients. Grandpa was made very difficult by him."
"If he didn't agree to him at the time, he wouldn't be able to step down at all! so you said that it is possible for him to insert fake patients in advance, I think it is really possible!"
TianQuiznos sighed at this time "It's too late to say this now. At that time, there were so many patients who saw me lose to him on the spot. My name and my reputation would have been washed at that time in the whole city. and even if I know that he was cheating, there is no way to recover it."
Chris smiled slightly "That's not necessarily the case."
After that, he remembered something, and asked TianQuiznos "By the way, Doctor Shi, you said that he has an ancestral medicine cauldron, what kind of medicine cauldron is it?"
TianQuiznos said hastily "It is a cauldron for Pathist alchemy, the whole is about the size of a football, it looks like it should be made of copper, and the shape of the vessel is 3-legged."
"With cupolas and a matching lid, the entire surface of the cauldron has dragon patterns made of filigree, which looks very exquisite in workmanship. According to him, it was handed down by his ancestors and specially used for refining elixir."
Chris raised his eyebrows with great interest, and said with a smile "Maybe this thing is really a good thing for alchemy."
After that, he asked TianQuiznos "Did that man say when he will come?"
TianQuiznos hurriedly said "He said that he would come on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to hang up the plaque he left at the door."
Chris remembered the plaque covered with red satin at the door, smiled slightly, and walked outside the door.
Standing still in front of the plaque, Chris unceremoniously stretched out his hand and tore off the red satin on it, revealing 3 gold-plated characters Lomalo's Clinic.
Chris snorted, then pulled the ladder from the side over, picked up the TianQuiznos's Clinic plaque that had been taken off with 1 hand, and hung the plaque back again.
TianQuiznos said nervously "Lord Arthur, you can't do it… If you hang up this plaque, wouldn't this old man become that old man who is willing to gamble but refuses to admit defeat…" Chris said with a smile
"It's Alright, The plaque is hung to let him know that something has changed in this matter, and he will definitely rush over to deal with it, and I will come to meet him when the time comes!"
Chris knew that Lomalo came here for Re-juvenation tablet this time, since he has found TianQuiznos now, no matter whether he knows his identity or not, he can't let him continue to stay like this in Hillsprings.
Therefore, the best way right now is to take the initiative.
However, Chris also thought about 1 thing, that is, since Lomalo was familiar with his grandma, would he have met his parents as well?
If he had seen them, he might be able to guess his identity based on the similarity between his appearance and his father's.
Chris's plan was that if Lomalo questioned his identity, he would not stop doing anything and directly detain him.
Immediately, he said to TianQuiznos "Doctor Shi, you and Sonia go home 1st, don't worry about it here, I will come here on time tomorrow morning!"
"Lord, this old man will come back tomorrow morning!"
Chris waved lightly at Sonia, called her to his side, and whispered something in her ear.
Sonia immediately nodded without hesitation and said "Alright Lord Arthur, I will definitely take care of it!"
Chris nodded and comforted "Don't worry, I will definitely help you solve this matter, no matter what, I won't let the signboard of TianQuiznos's Clinic be removed!"
