On the fourth day after leaving Yani, Kiki followed Barosh and others to a town called Magellan.This town is much larger than the town of Sofia he stayed in, and the damage was more serious. The main officials of the town fled to other places after the disaster. So far, there is no news. I don’t know if they learned of His Royal Highness’s visit. He didn't dare to come back because of the news, and still encountered an accident on the road.

Barosh and the others didn't carry much food, and even their own food mainly depended on the knights hunting wild animals along the way as supplies. Fortunately, Sirius equipped them with a skilled cook and enough condiments, so that they could I didn't feel too much hard work on eating.

For this reason, Barosh and the others were unable to provide food for the residents of the town, but this was not their main purpose of coming here either.Moreover, like most villages and towns, most people here have the habit of storing food, especially the severe drought in the past year. Many families have already made psychological preparations for natural disasters, but they did not realize that the disaster does not come from the sky, but from the sky. the earth beneath their feet.

After arriving in the town of Magellan, Calvin took two knights and the clerk to get in touch with the current person in charge of the town, and negotiated on the assistance the town needed and the assistance they could currently provide.Keech and Barosh stayed in the carriage together. The former was too young, while the latter was too scary, and neither of them could play a role in such a negotiation.

Suddenly, Barosh asked casually as if he was bored: "Little guy, are you interested in learning necromancy?"

"No." Kiki replied without thinking, "And, I have a mentor."

"You can only have one mentor in your life. What's more, from the day you become a junior magician, mentor has become a kind of honorific, not a relationship." Barosh said, "Believe me, Little Tina will never get angry with you because you learn one more magic."

"If the magic was black magic, she would," Keech replied grimly. "Perhaps you don't know, she doesn't like black magic of any kind."

"Oh, I really didn't know that she was prejudiced against black magic." Barosh said this, but his tone was nonchalant, "But, just because she doesn't like it, don't you want to learn it? I really can't I believe that a child of your age would be willing to be a good baby who obeys the teachings of the elders."

—The thing is, Hill wouldn't like it either.

Keech thought to himself.If he became shriveled and stank like Barosh, Hill would never hug him or kiss him again.No, don't talk about Hill, even he himself wouldn't like him like that.

"You don't think that learning necromantic magic will turn you into a zombie or a skeleton?" Barosh giggled as if he had seen through his mind, "Don't worry, the reason why I look like this is because Because I am too old, it is definitely not due to necromancer magic. In fact, the reason why I am still alive to talk to you is the credit of necromancer magic. It is more powerful than any natural magic in prolonging life. Effective—how, think about it?"

"No, interest, interest." Keech replied word by word.

"You are such a stubborn little guy!" Barosh said helplessly.

Kiki ignored her, and continued to close his eyes and meditate as if he hadn't heard.

Not long after, Calvin and the others also returned to the team and informed Barosh and Kidge that they had found a suitable residence and would start working after a short rest.

The first part of the job is to treat the seriously injured in the town, just like they did in the last town.

It wasn't Keech's job, though, but Barosch's.However, Kiki's water purification technique was very effective, and Barosh was very satisfied with it. In addition, he was brave enough to resist the horror of necromancer magic, so he was left behind by Barosh. Be around as an assistant.In contrast, Calvin, who is a light magician, cannot use light magic to heal others like the priests of the Holy See. He can only go to various places in the town to make preparations for the next step of cleaning up.

"He only uses light elements to cause damage." Barosh said mockingly.

"That's why I chose to be a magician instead of a priest, isn't it?" Calvin didn't take Barosh's ridicule to heart at all, shrugged and left.

Barosh giggled, turned around, and arranged in this small room that had just been decided to be used as a medical room.

Unlike the medical room arranged by the doctor Montdemery in Sophia Town, Baros had almost no requirements for light.Not only that, she also covered all the windows and doorways in the room with a thick black cloth, only lit a few candles on the broken table in the corner as a light source, and then put together two tables in the middle of the room, Like the medical table that Montdemery had also used, a large toolbox was placed beside it.

Keech just watched from the sidelines and never reached out to help.It's not that he's lazy, it's just that he's been with Tina for a long time, which made him deeply understand that it's better not to interfere in the preparation work of other magicians. His help may not be appreciated by others, but it is easy to be blamed for not helping properly and being a disservice.

After setting up the room, Barosh lifted the curtain at the door and let the outsiders move the first seriously injured person into the room.

After they put the people on the medical table, Barosh drove them out again, leaving only himself and Kiki to check the wounded in the room.

The wounded man's left leg had been completely shattered, but his consciousness was clear. He looked at Barosh and Kiki nervously and nervously, showing a look of hesitation.

Baros didn't speak out to comfort him like Montdemery did. She directly took out the scissors, cut open the wounded man's clothes three or two times, stripped him naked, and then carefully examined his body.

The wounded man was obviously frightened by Barosh's actions. Fortunately, he didn't see that the black-robed magician was a woman, and he was frightened to avoid worse embarrassment.

After the examination, Barosh straightened up and said to the injured in her hoarse and lifeless voice: "I can give you two options, first, give up your left leg and save your life..."

"No, no, I don't want to lose my leg." The injured person shook his head hastily.

"That's the second option, waiting to die with this leg." Barosh said coldly.

"I don't want to die! I still have my child and my mother!" The wounded were even more terrified.

"You only have these two choices!" Barosh said impatiently, "Or, get out and think about it before you come back. Anyway, even if you don't do anything, you can still live for at least four or five days."

"Four...five days?" The injured man's face turned pale.

Barosh ignored him, turned around and opened the curtain, and shouted outside: "Come here, take this jerk away!"

Two knights in plain clothes walked in immediately, put the man on the medical table back on the stretcher without asking any questions, and carried him out of the medical room regardless of his shouts.

Keech didn't stop him. Although logically speaking, he could at least use the water purification technique to clean the man's wound and delay his injury for a while, but when he was in the last town, Barosh warned him not to abuse magic and Compassion - They can't save everyone, and not everyone is worth saving.

"First of all, he has to want to live, even if he pays the price for it." Barosh said, "If a person doesn't even have such determination and courage, then death is a kind of happiness for him."

Keech didn't think Barosh's words were correct, but he also couldn't feel any sympathy for these ordinary people who he didn't know before.He couldn't empathize with their pain, let alone forget Amir's warning not to let him reveal his strength.

What's more, his abilities are not omnipotent. Like the man just now, his left leg was shattered and fractured, and the injury has been too long. The bones have been completely necrotic, and the elements in the relevant parts have lost the ability to re-condense their forms. Vitality, even his abilities can't restore them to their original state—maybe he can try to knead the shattered bones together, but even so, it's impossible to support the body like normal leg bones and move freely.

His ability is like magic, it cannot be created out of nothing, let alone bring the dead back to life.It was precisely because of such restrictions that he was unable to heal Avella's throat, and had to work hard to make the ring that could write.

Keech was distracted, No. 2 wounded had been brought in and placed on the medical table.

"Where do you think his injury is?" After driving out the others, Barosh casually asked Kiki, who was watching, while cutting the man's clothes.

"...a broken rib." Kiki narrowed his eyes habitually, "and that bone in the back...the spine?"

"It's a very accurate judgment. It's really a pity that you don't become a necromancer." Barosh chuckled.

Since the wounded man was in a coma when he was brought in, Barosh didn't waste his words, first fixed the man's sternum with the most common medical method, and then took out a A clay pot the size of a fist was placed on the medical table, and he asked Keech, "Come here and help, lift his back."

"Oh." Keech responded, walked across to Barosh, and lifted the man's upper body from the medical table.

"Higher." Barosh ordered, and took out another needle-shaped slender metal strip from the toolbox, aimed at the upper end of the man's back, and inserted it slowly.

Although the man was unconscious, he still twitched instinctively.

"Yes, there is still hope of recovery." Barosh muttered, took the clay pot next to him in his hand, opened it, picked out a small earthworm-shaped worm with his fingers, put it on the long needle, and then covered it Put on the clay pot, while chanting the mantra.

With the sound of the incantation, the worm that looked like an earthworm but was much smaller quickly crawled along the long needle into the wounded body, and soon disappeared without a trace.

When the bug disappeared, Barosh also completed the spell, pulled out the long needle from the wounded person's body, and put it back into the toolbox together with the clay pot.

After the experience in the last town, Keech already knew that this humble bug was the secret of necromancer magic - necromancers couldn't control corpses at all, they only controlled these little bugs that could enter and occupy corpses , and then through the control of these insects, let the corpse make standing, walking and other postures.

However, since these small bugs are composed of dense dark elements, when they are scattered in the corpses that also gather many dark elements, it is difficult for even senior magicians who are sensitive to all elements to notice them. get.

When Barosh cast spells in Yani City, Kiki also failed to see it. It wasn't until he went to a small town that he saw Barosh use this thing to heal severed limbs for the injured. A seven seven eight eight.

However, Keech still doesn't understand why giving dark elements to living people can help them recover.

"Because these small things will devour the same dark elements as themselves, which are commonly referred to as carrion and dead air, so that other parts of the body will no longer be infected by dark elements, ensuring that the living body can complete self-repair and heal the affected body. damaged parts." Barosh explained to Kiki, "When the injuries are fully recovered and the dark elements completely disappear from the body, these little things will also die quickly due to the loss of food sources, and will eventually be excreted by the normal circulation of the living body in vitro."

Hearing such an explanation, Keech couldn't help being dumbfounded.

He never expected that the magic named after the undead could bring life to others, and it was far more applicable and effective than the healing magic using light elements.

——Even his abilities may not be able to do better!

While Kidge sighed, he also realized why Barosh blocked the doors and windows and prevented ordinary people from watching.

Without him, the process of this treatment is really not pleasing to the eye.Keech even believed that if this person was not in a coma but was awake like the previous person, he might not necessarily accept Barosh's treatment.

——Let a disgusting bug aliased as "corpse-eating bug" enter his body, this kind of thing makes one shudder to think about it!

Kiki twitched the corners of his mouth, rejoicing that he would never need Barosh's help for treatment.

After treating several wounded who needed special treatment to save their lives, Keech stayed in the town for one night with Barosh and the others, preparing to recharge their batteries. Use white magic to purify the ruins and remove the dark elements that may cause the epidemic.

Since the people in the town had already dug their relatives out of the ruins, Barosh no longer had to continue toil at night, and the townspeople also avoided the horrible experience of watching the "resurrection" of dead bodies.

Keech hasn't figured out how Barosh's elemental bugs are bred and how to drive them, but after a few onlookers, he has learned Calvin's purification technique thoroughly, and secretly tried it A few times, the effect is basically the same as Calvin's purification technique.

——This purification technique can be used to deal with Barosh's bugs.

Keech secretly guessed.
