Chapter 568 Compromise
Chapter 568 Compromise
The metal positive tetrahedron dissolved a little bit, reveling the figures of two people.
Saul takes the contaminant he got from Justin and heads to the Sorcerer’s Tower, while Justin waits where he is.
Whether it could be cured or not depended on this study of the pathology.
After Saul leaves, Justin remains standing in the mushroom forest, the white mushroom spores carefully avoiding him as they fall.
Saul returns to the wizard’s tower and finds Camus with the petri dish in his hand.
“Take a look at this contaminant.”
Saul extracted a portion of the contaminant and divided it into several portions, each with a different potion to record the properties of these samples.
After a few trials, the results were not ideal.
Agu, who had only come out of his diary in the past six months, was there to assist. In terms of knowledge, he was probably the only one who could keep up with Saul and Camus’ thoughts.
At this moment, when he saw the data recorded by Sol, his brows were also knitted tightly.
Camus’ reaction was the most direct, she only saw one glance and returned the data to Saul.
“His injuries have mixed with the contamination and reached a balance, whichever one is destroyed will cause an accelerated expansion of the other.”
What Camus saw as a problem Saul naturally saw as well.
Agu was even more persuasive, “Master, this commission is more risky. The possibility of success is very small. And once the treatment fails, I’m afraid this second-ranked sorcerer won’t be as calm as he is now.”
Morton, who was still within the diary, also agreed not to accept this commission.
Morton: [And there’s no benefit for us to succeed. We might even offend the adjudication court as a result. Although the other party won’t send someone into the Masterless Land to hunt down a wanted criminal, they don’t necessarily know nothing about what’s happening in the Masterless Land].
Agu continued, “And there’s also the possibility of attracting more people who had been hunted by the Ruling Court. We may face more trouble then.”
Agu emphasized “more” because he also understood that Saul’s identity as a healer was more like a protective talisman.
Apparently, everyone was not really suggesting that Saul treat Justin.
Failure could result in retaliation, and success could result in retaliation by an even more powerful and terrifying organization.
Not a good deal by any stretch of the imagination.
Saul contemplated for a moment, got up and retraced his steps back to the mushroom forest outside Lake Rhine with the test results and the remaining samples.
Justin was still standing in the same position as when Saul left, seemingly not having moved at all in the meantime.
Saul handed Justin what was in his hand.
“Sorry.”
Justin looked down at the object in Saul’s hand and a muscle in his face tightened.
“You don’t have a cure for my contamination?”
“You should know your injuries best. The contamination and the old injury are entangled with each other and have created a balance. If I take the liberty of breaking the balance without the ability to completely remove the contamination, then this out-of-control power may shorten your remaining survival time to a few days, or even a few hours.”
“So your conclusion is to give up? Is it really because you’re unsure?” Justin’s voice lowered, “I told you what caused the contamination on my body in order to make you aware of the injury and the properties of the contamination. But I didn’t expect you to be shocked.”
Saul didn’t deny it.
Justin took a deep breath and tried to maintain his poise, “Very well.”
He collected the petri dish and information from Saul’s hands and grunted coldly, “Since you have so many concerns, I’d advise you not to become a physician. You can’t afford it!”
He turned to leave, and after taking two steps, he seemed to still feel no pain, and twisted his head to say to Saul, “I will tell my friends that you are a practitioner with a false name …… Heh, no, you don’t even have a false name, and you can’t even be considered as a false name yet.”
Justin strides away, leaving a clear footprint in the mushroom forest.
When Saul returned to the lake, he was just in time to see the butler, Hope, and Gaga Drum waiting for him.
Gaga Drum watches Saul carefully, as if trying to decipher from his expression the outcome of Saul’s exchange with Justin.
But Saul’s face is calm, and it’s completely impossible to tell what he’s feeling at the moment.
Hope smiled and said, “This time, His Excellency Gaga Drum has brought us quite a few good things. There are also a lot of Flowing Flints that you have been searching for a long time, 20 kilograms of them.”
This news brought a smile to Sol’s face, “Really, that’s really appreciated.”
He had been collecting flow fire stones for a long time, it was just that Gaga Drum could only bring back a little bit each time.
It wasn’t that the other party was a hoarder, it was just that this kind of thing was really rare, but it had an irreplaceable role in fire attribute as well as metallic sorcery spells, so it had always been a hard thing to find.
This time, after getting so many Flowing Fire Stones, Saul could finally raise the efficiency of the Monte Extraction Method by 10% again.
“By the way, two months have passed since the third purge, let me take another look at your back.”
Gaga Drum hurriedly put down the huge traveling bag and exposed his back. But the results of this review were not very good.
The contamination on Gaga Drum’s back had once again intensified. Although the situation was much better than before he met Saul, at this rate, as long as Saul couldn’t eradicate the contamination from his body, his problem would keep worsening.
It was even possible that a retaliatory backlash would form.
“The time is about right.” Saul thought for a moment and took out a wooden figure from his storage, “I understand that it’s impossible for you as a traveler to give up the traveling bag behind you, but by carrying it all the time, your contamination can’t be properly resolved.”
Gaga Drum was also well aware of his body’s condition, and he smiled bitterly, “Lord Sol, there is nothing I can do. If I put down my traveling bag, I will lose my dependence on surviving in the Lordless Land. I can only trade my health for a chance to live.”
“I know, that’s why I haven’t advised you either. However, recently I suddenly had a new thought, so you can listen to it and try it or not.”
Gaga Drum’s eyes lit up at that.
After fighting for such a long time, he was already roughly aware of Saul’s strength, and the other party was always able to come up with surprising solutions.
“No need to listen, my lord, I’m willing to try.” Gaga Drum laughed nervously, “To be honest, all of your programs are too complicated. I wouldn’t be able to understand them if I were to listen to them, I’m willing to trust you.”
Saul didn’t make any pretense, he had a great deal of confidence in healing Gaga Drum anyway.
“But before the formal treatment, I still need to briefly explain it to you so that you can follow up and cooperate.”
Saul told Gaga Drum that the source of contamination in his body was hidden in the huge traveling bag behind him.
And the contamination doesn’t get removed just because the traveling bag is replaced.
Because there was already a causal connection between it and Gaga Drum. This was the power of the rules unique to the Land of the Undiscovered – after a few healing sessions, Saul had realized that even if he used Soul Dropping to suck out all the contamination from Gaga Drum, it would be useless.
If he couldn’t break this associated rule force, Gaga Drum would still continue to suffer new contamination.
But Saul thought of a new way: set up a stand-in dummy at the point where the relationship between the traveling bag and Gaga Drum’s body was connected.
It was up to the doll to bear these newly created contaminations.
When the contamination in the doll’s body reached a certain level, Gaga Drum still needed to come over and replace the doll, or spend a large sum of money to directly purchase the method of making the doll.
As for the way to make dolls, naturally, it was inspired by Mentor Rum.
Although Saul and Rum were in different camps at the last moment, Saul still learned quite a bit of useful knowledge from him before turning his back on him.
After hearing this, Gaga Drum was very happy and agreed in one breath.
He didn’t buy the method of making the dolls, though, choosing instead to replace them on a regular basis.
This puzzled Saul a bit. But he didn’t dig into it.
Since he had made a decision, Saul immediately began to act.
The treatment for Gaga Drum took a long time. By the time Gaga Drum, with a face of excitement, reloaded his traveling bag, the sky was already completely dark.
Because of this treatment, Saul got back a large portion of the magic crystals and supplies that he had traded to Gaga Drum.
Only after Gaga Drum left did he join his steward, Hope, in organizing the goods obtained from the deal.
“Even with a wolf cart, I had to pull it three times.” Hope said guiltily, “It was my negligence, I should have long ago crafted a transportation vehicle that carries a larger load.”
Saul didn’t care, “It doesn’t matter, you take your time to transport it, I’ll let Komo watch from here ……”
Before the words fell, Saul suddenly twisted his head to look at the mushroom forest.
Justin, who had left angrily in the daytime, walked towards them through the mushroom forest with an expressionless face.
This time, the Mushroom Forest that originally had the role of a warning did not have a single reaction.
Hope immediately hid behind Saul, and then covertly sent a signal to the Wizard Tower through the Algae Split.
Justin was a second-ranked wizard who had reappeared for an unknown purpose, and he had to call the old witch over before he could do so.
Saul was calm, anyway, behind him was the Rhine Lake, as long as the last step, the sorcery of the second-ranked wizard could not break the rule of forbidden magic on the lake.
“Hasn’t Lord Justin cursed enough when he comes back again?”
Saul had a smile on his lips, his eyes slightly cold.
With the attitude of not wanting to cause trouble, he ignored those taunts Justin made on his way out, but if the other party didn’t stop, he didn’t mind leaving that mouth behind.
Justin kept walking until he stopped three meters in front of Saul and bowed his head slightly.
“Sorcerer Saul, I know you have the power. Please save me …… please.”
As soon as these words came out, the condescending aura that had been strained on Justin’s body suddenly dispersed.
