Chapter 26 Beyond the Sun
Sunshine City is the largest city in the Hessen Territory with a radius of [-] miles.

Every day, countless merchants come here for money, and countless adventurers leave the city for money.

Being located in a land of chaos, the walls of this big city are naturally built to be extremely tall, and a layer of hard white iron is even poured on top of the thick stone bricks.

If the sun shines on it, it will definitely look as beautiful as a silver bracelet, as if you can see a holy knight riding a Pegasus floating by in the next moment.

But this is the Black Forest Territory where there is no daylight all year round, so the pale city wall is like a mountain of corpses piled up by the bones of countless giant beasts, looking cold and solemn.

After a good night's rest, Stone knocked on the door of the clinic early in the morning.

"Are you ready doctor? It's time for us to go."

Ji Ming, who had put all his equipment neatly on and changed into a clean white robe, followed the iron rope team and walked towards the city gate.

"Is your leg okay?"

Looking at Bailey who was talking and laughing with Charlie, Ji Ming asked in a low voice.

Bailey chuckled and lifted up his trousers.

"Thanks to you, doctor, I'm fine now!"

It can only be said that the young man's health is good. It turns out that he has recovered a long time ago and all the connections have been removed.

"That's good."

Ji Ming found Adele again.

"Return for consultation. Have you felt inexplicably unstable recently, or have you felt unwell?"

Compared to Pele, Adele's condition is much worse.

Although his complexion has improved a lot, it is difficult to make up for the mental weakness that has been engraved in his bones after being tortured by the curse for two full days.

But she still nodded and smiled.

"Although I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable, I'm gradually recovering. Thank you doctor."

"Get some rest in time, and tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

After giving instructions, Ji Ming walked towards the only stranger in the adventurer team.

"Hello, are you Hunter Bol?"

The old man with white hair and beard stopped chewing the apple in his mouth and stretched out his clean hand.

"Yes, I think you are Dr. Ji Ming."

The two shook hands symbolically. Although the old hunter was as thin as Ji Ming, his palms with well-defined muscles were strong.

Feeling the thick calluses on his palms, Ji Ming couldn't help but lift him up a bit in his heart.

Having a seat in the iron chain team of only six people would definitely make him a very reliable hunter.

And reliable hunters often mean live maps and survival experience.

So he took the initiative to promise.

"Old sir, if you are injured, come to me immediately. This is my responsibility as a healer."

"Haha, no problem!"

Looking at Ji Ming who was asking for help everywhere, Stone also quietly withdrew his gaze.

"Ana, I think building a good relationship with Dr. Ji is the right thing for us to do."

Anna also looked convinced.

"Yes."

Led by a trainee professional, the guards at the door did not make things difficult for them.

After paying the entry and exit tax of more than ten copper coins, the group passed through the tall gate of Sunshine City and officially arrived outside the city.

Ji Ming looked up at the sky.

I couldn't feel it in the narrow and cramped city. At this moment, the surroundings were empty, and I felt that the dark clouds in the sky were so close, as if they would fall down at any time.

"It's strange that he's infiltrating people."

Putting aside these unrealistic fantasies, he continued to follow the team farther away.While walking, Stone came over.

"Do you still have the strength to hold on? Doctor, do you need to take a rest?"

Ji Ming always felt that there was something in Stone's words, so he started chatting with him calmly.

"Oh, that's good. You are a key member of our adventure, the most important one!"

With Stone's enthusiasm, the topic gradually turned to other members of the team.

"Hahaha, by the way, doctor, has Charlie told you about him?"

As the captain, Stone naturally knows things about many people in the team.

For example, Charlie, his dead father actually had a close friendship with the blacksmith Morton, and they were comrades from the same regiment in the Kingdom of Glow.

But after experiencing a conspiracy and defeat, the two were forced to become deserters and settled down in the neglected Hessen Territory.

Another example is Old Boer, who once lived in a mountain village outside the city and was a well-known handsome young man from all over the country.

But after a sudden wave of monsters, he lost everything, including his wife and daughter, and became an adventurer who specializes in hunting monsters.

And Adele, although she didn't want to say more, she was probably an aristocratic lady who escaped from the Deep Forest Kingdom.

Anna met her in the lobby of the Adventurers Association, when she had just beaten several thugs with magic.

As for Stone and Anna.

There was no need for him to hesitate and change the subject again. Anyone with a brain could see the tacit understanding and relationship between the two of them.

Especially after telling such nonsense that the two of them had known each other since childhood, there was no need to say a word more.

and so……

A "grandpa", a pair of "parents", an "uncle", three "children"...

No wonder the relationship between the Iron Chain team is so good, it is clearly a family-like structure.

During the chat, Ji Ming soon discovered that behind the parents' pettiness, there was actually the background and details of each member of the team.

This is Stone's confession to him. After all, a team that doesn't understand each other has no cohesion and trust.

Seeing that he was already hesitating to speak, he tried to bring the topic to himself.

"Hey, in this world, who hasn't experienced hardship?"

Ji Ming thought about his words and pretended to be heartbroken.

"To tell you the truth, I was once a pharmacist with a bright future..."

Compared with Stone, Ji Ming, who has experienced the bombardment of information in modern society, is really good at telling stories.

In the new version of the background story, he describes himself as a good doctor who is willing to risk his own life to save people.

After losing everything, he followed the caravan at the border and came to the far west.

"How can there be such a bastard in this world!"

In Stone's reaction, he was sometimes happy, sometimes angry, sometimes surprised, and completely convinced.

Ji Ming couldn't help but laugh secretly, feeling that he was the kind of heroic NPC in "Mount and Blade" that would wait for players to recruit in the tavern.

"Hey sir, do you want to hear my story..."

"...Very well, give me 600 dinars to pay for the drinks, and I will join your team."

By the time the story was finished, Stone was filled with emotion.

"It turns out that the doctor is also a person with a story."

"If I find a bard to adapt it, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave another legend."

Ji Ming lowered his eyes and was about to continue to show his bitterness, but he saw Bol who had gone out to investigate and quickly ran back.

The old hunter kept waving his arms, as if he wanted to send some specific signal.
