Leaving the medical department, in Lin Ye's heart there is still echoing what Silence and Ansel said to him.
"Not only you're not infected, but you have the value of a newborn child."
At this time, Lin Ye wonders if it was because he had only been in this world for two years.
it's not like he should have been the same amount as a person that breathes it for a decade.
But then he thought, even if it's only a few years, it doesn't make sense to be that low.
After all, Chernoborg is not a good place to live.
Compared with Rhodes Island, there are a lot more infected people, and the sanitation environment is much worse.
Rhodes Island has better air to breathe than Chernoborg could ever dream to have.
Could it because of him being a pure human? According to Ptilopsis, pure humans have extremely poor adaptability to Originium, and it is near impossible for them to learn Arts.
But having the value for Lin Ye is unheard of in this world. So, he plans to go to Skadi to ask what's going on with him.
But there is one thing that makes him more concerned than this. That is before leaving the medical department, Silence sealed his medical report in a bag and told him that, except for Skadi, she had never seen this happen to a person and asked, no. It's better to say begged him to be careful to tell anyone about this.
So, he asked what she means.
At that time, she shook her head and then says, "If you don't want to wake up and find yourself lying on the cold operating table, and see your internal organs hung up high. Then you can hear a string of weird laughter, then it's better for you to keep this a secret."
Lin Ye shut up immediately. He left the medical department and returned to the fourth floor of the office building.
Yesterday he had already asked Skadi what she will be doing, and Skadi said she will stay in Rhodes Island because she is without a mission these days.
So he must see Skadi in the office at this time.
So now, Lin Ye is humming a simple tone while using his card to open the office door,
When the door opens, what greeted him is a big sad face, only less than ten centimeters away from him.
He almost throws his card at him is frit.
"Doctor Lin! You finally came back!", both powerful big hands pressed Lin Ye's shoulders, Lin Ye lowered his graze and see the familiar pair of chest muscles in front of him,
"I'm waiting for you! "
Lin Ye the corners of his mouth twitch slightly, "U-Um nice to meet you again. U-Um Mr. Bull?"
"Who's Mr. Bull! My name is Matterhorn!", Matterhorn watches Lin Ye with his piercing eyes.
"Did you forget me?!"
"No! I didn't forget! Of course, I didn't forget! I u-um just pranking you."
Lin Ye shakes his head, "Well, Matterhorn, can I ask you something. Can you let me go first?"
"Oh, oh, Okay.", Matterhorn immediately reacts, letting go of his hand, and steps back to give Lin Ye some room to breathe
He feels a bit guilty about how he did, "Sorry, Dr. Lin, I was excited. I really have no choice but to come to you. But you went to Lungmen for a business trip a few days ago, so I can only I came here to wait for you a few hours every day for you to finally be back."
Matterhorn has a lot of strength. Lin Ye's shoulder still feels a bit sore and he has to rub it.
At the same time, he is left speechless by his words.
'Come over and wait for a few hours a day, how important is this, or do you really have nothing to do.',Lin Ye complained in her heart but did not dare to say it in front of Matterhorn.
Moreover, he seems to look very anxious. At times like these, it's better to listen to him honestly.
Lin Ye let Matterhorn in and ask to sit on the sofa, and when he finds out that Skadi is also in the office.
She is standing by the window and looks at the scenery outside. She looks at Lin Ye after she heard him. Then she turns her head back to the window without saying anything.
This made Lin Ye feel a little weird about how she acts.
After all, Skadi is right here. The operators in Rhodes Island don't catch a cold. In the past, in order not to contact them, Skadi chose to return to the island late at night.
How could she stay here at this time? And why here? There is a lot of rooms on this floor but why is she here in his office
He glances at Skadi again. Lin Ye decided to wait for asking that her.
It's better to deal with Matterhorn now. After all, the other party has been waiting for him for a few days, and it seems to be a very important relationship.
According to all of his previous experience, 80% of it is nothing more than a trivial matter related to the Karlan Saintess.
Lin Ye sits opposite of Matterhorn, "Would you like to drink tea?"
"No. No need for that.", Matterhorn shakes his head, "I am not in the mood to drink tea now."
Good because It happened that Lin Ye didn't want to boil water either.
"Ahem, since that's the case, let's go directly to the topic in hand.", Lin Ye clears his throat,
"You are looking for me this time because..."
"It's because of the Mistress,"
'I thought so.',Lin Ye thinks that he really becoming a prophet.
He really wanted to directly ask, "what happened to your saintess", but for his professionalism, he still has to be very polite.
"What happened to Miss Pramanix?"
"A lot of things.", Matterhorn sighs.
Macho man looks like an old father now
"It was the issue of the appearance of the Karlan Saintess of Kjerag."
"Hasn't this matter been resolved last time I help?"
"Yes. With your help, I think it has been solved.", Matterhorn nods,
"but there is a new problem appear. It's about someone touching her tail", Matterhorn looks serious about this,
"I don't know how to talk to you about this. You may not believe it, but I don't know when the Mistress got a peculiar addiction."
"A strange hobby?!" Lin Ye is inexplicably excited about this.
"What hobby?"
"That's...huh?", Matterhorn looks at Lin Ye with some doubts,
"Doctor Lin, how do you feel that you seem to be very happy?"
"Happy? No, no, of course not.", Lin Ye shakes his head, "I'm just feeling honored to be able to help the Saintess of Kjerag."
"So that's it!", Matterhorn gives Lin Ye a thumbs up happily,
"Doctor Lin, you are definitely a good friend and best friend of the Kjerag people.
Lin Ye nods subconsciously and then feels his statement is weird...
"So, what the hell is it?"
Matterhorn's face became sad again," I found a strange thing?"
Lin Ye gets even more intrigued by this, "What's the strange thing? How strange is it? I need more information"
"... Leaf."
"... Huh?"
Matterhorn takes a deep breath, and then says determinedly, "Both of the mistresses, suddenly fell in love with eating leaves!"
"Eating leaves?", Lin Ye looks dumbfounded, "Why do they like to eat leaves?"
"Yeah, I also want to ask that. Is it not a weird habit?", Matterhorn says."
"I have never seen such a person who would like to eat leaves! And I am cannot wrap my head around that idea."
"Could it be green vegetables? Eating green vegetables is still normal, right."
"Green vegetables are normal, but I have never seen anyone grabbing a handful of leaves and stuffing them into their mouths halfway through while there are taking a walk! Dr. Lin, have you seen something like that?!"
"N-No. Maybe they really like vegetables?"
"The most important thing is that it's obviously not ordinary vegetables! That's tree leaves! I have never seen it before!", Matterhorn gestures
"It is packed in a small bottle and has a very unique taste.", Lin Ye nods while listening to his description, and then slowly felt that something is wrong here.
'A small piece of leaf, packed in a small bottle, has a unique taste... Eh? Why do I feel like it something familiar?'
After the careful recall, Lin Ye's face immediately turned green.
"I don't know where they got them. There is absolutely no such thing in Kjerag, nor in Rhodes Island. And the eldest and the second mistress never leaves Rhodes Island. This kind of thing must be brought by outsiders. Damn it! Someone who dares to do this to them is a horrible type of person... Huh? Dr. Lin? Are you listening to me?"
Lin Ye returns to his senses and nods repeatedly, "I'm here. What did you just say?"
"I said that the kind of leaves must be given to the Mistress by a malicious person!?"
"But Pramanix is not stupid, she is always there with the help of the medical department, this suspicious thing definitely is tested by the medical department, right? If so, there is no problem for her using it", he nervously explains.
"You don't know that, Doctor Lin. My Mistress is indeed not stupid, but she is too naive, too easy to believe the words of strangers.", Matterhorn sighs.
"As for what you said, the medical department has tested it, I believe it. But what if it is not detected? I have seen those leaves, smelled and eaten them, but they have no taste at all. The eldest mistress and the second mistress are so obsessed with them, this is unreasonable."
Lin Ye thought to himself, 'Of course, you are not the type of person that would enjoy it. It calls catnip for a reason'
"I'm just worried that the thing is a special drug given to the eldest mistress and the second mistress by the adulterer.", Matterhorn looks serious, "The special drug that only works for them!"
"U-Um", this situation is getting out of control for Lin Ye.
"It seems that you still can't understand the seriousness of the problem. Dr. Lin.", Matterhorn sighs, "I originally thought that if it were you, I would definitely understand it."
"I understand a little bit."
"It shouldn't be a bit!", Matterhorn says, "If they both brought those leaves back to Kjerag can you imagine the consequences?!"
Lin Ye's mouth twitches slightly, "What will happen then?"
Matterhorn slaps the table and grits his teeth, "That kind of thing must never happen! Dr. Lin. I want you to help me!"
"Help you? How should I help you?"
"Because I came here because of the master, and the eldest mistress is very rebellious towards the master, so she basically won't listen to me. It's useless to tell her clearly about the stakes.", Matterhorn sighs.
"So, I wanted to let the lady understand the seriousness of the problem. We can only find out the culprit, and then put them in front of her and make them confess, then she should believe it.
"..."
"Doctor Lin, don't be quiet! I believe you can understand me!"
"... I think I am not very good at this kind of thing."
"I know, but this thing might sound difficult, but it's not difficult to search for them", Matterhorn rubs his chin with a serious face,
"The culprit must be from Rhodes Island."
Lin Ye no longer knows what to say.
By Matterhorn's words, he has changed from "I don't know who" to "the culprit", and now he has become a "criminal".
Saying that it is just catnip, isn't a drug? doesn't seem to be quite convincing.
Just like this, Lin Ye is thinking about countermeasures to fix this.

Half an hour pass, Lin Ye didn't think of any countermeasures, and Matterhorn is still trying to do some analyzing to catch the culprit.
"Damn it!", Matterhorn clenches his fists and grits his teeth.
"I'm still not good at analyzing problems. If the master is here, it would much easier. He can definitely find out the real culprit in a few seconds. I think this all we will do today"
Lin Ye nods stiffly, but what was in his mind is to ask you not to come back for a long time.
And then Matterhorn was about to leave, not knowing whether it was a dumb conscience or something else, as soon as he opens the door, he sees Pramanix standing in front of them, raising her hand to knock on the door.
"Mistress?!", Matterhorn looks at Pramanix in surprise,
"What are you doing here?" Lin Ye notices the empty bottle in her hand and sighs in his head
' ...here we go again.'
"Oh, Matterhorn, I came to see Dr. Lin.", Pramanix looks at Lin Ye, then waves the bottle in her hand.
"I heard that you are back, so I came here. Dr. Lin, the grass that makes the worry away that you gave me last time is finished, is there any more of them?"
'... Goddammit.'
