Moments later, Wang Li College, the dean's residence.

Two medical servants carefully carried Eshu's injured arm to the desk and cut it along the sleeve with a knife. When the injured arm was peeled off and its entirety was exposed to the air, Luciana, who was sitting on the sidelines, covered her mouth and let out a suppressed exclamation. Because of the prolonged congestion, every muscle in the arm took on a dull purple red. The green tendons arch from under the cortex, like a group of snakes winding, and the faint shadow of the major artery can be faintly seen between the interlacing.

Brochette raised an eyebrow, Eshyu's injuries were worse than he had expected. He waved the medalder away, his fingers slowly pressing along his forearm, his fingertips returning a stiff touch like a stone. He then tried to break Eshy's fingers and take out the crossbow arrow, only to find that Eshu's entire palm was in a state of unconscious force clenching into a fist, and five fingers were firmly in the palm of his hand to imprison the crossbow arrow, which had long lost all power. When Brochette finished his investigation of Eshy's injuries and sat back in his chair, his raised eyebrows did not retreat, but were wrinkled.

"Baranduke, Baranduk," Brochette sighed, stroking his already unimpressive white beard, "You know that every time someone like you is injured, he is pushing the boundaries of the royal academy's medical skills, but your case is not of universal value. ”

"Why?" Before Eshu could say anything, Luciana on the side asked curiously.

"Because not everyone has drunk the fountain of youth like him, and thus has obtained the incredible power of self-healing." The concept of 'injury' stayed with him for as little time as Boynbru's spring. So when there is an exception, it's often extremely serious – not that it's life-threatening, it's just that the reasons are complex. Brochette picked up a quill and pointed at Estheau's injured arm, "Someone on the border sniped at him with a ballista, either to nail a massive salvo into the walls in a siege to create another shortcut for soldiers who couldn't squeeze into ladders and siege towers, or to destroy the pheasant moat at the head of the city and deprive the archers of their powerful bunker - in general, under normal circumstances, a normal person would not think of taking arrows fired by a ballista." But Baranduk," Brochette shook his head, "well, you're the chosen child of prophecy by the Goddess of Order, and you can't be counted as a normal person. You did take the bolts, but the tendons in your arm were torn apart by the tremendous impact, but they were supposed to heal as they were torn, and the whole process happened when you were in a state of high tension in order to intercept the bolts, so the tendons healed in this twisted position. That's probably the case. ”

"Great, it's a very vivid post-mortem, but it's a pity that I can't applaud now," Eixiu said expressionlessly, "Do you want to see if you can be cured first, and I'll give you a round of applause later?" ”

"Correcting your tendon requires very delicate and lengthy surgery. I'm too old to have the energy to stay focused for a long time, and I can't do it for you. ”

"What about Damus? He must have studied medicine as well. ”

"Dams is not in Poimbru now, he has been summoned by Duke Alexis to Ryan, and he specializes in poison pharmacology, and surgery is not even a layman." Brochette said angrily, "Don't catch a medical scientist and think he'll do surgery." The man who is the one who is the knife for you is right next to you. ”

"Who?" Estheu turned his head, and in the dean's residence, apart from him and Brochette, there was only Luciana left, "She? ”

"Me?" Luciana's shock and confusion were no less than Estheau's, "But I don't understand at all—"

"Although I can't do it, I can tell you what you should do, and it shouldn't be a problem with your excellent learning ability." "I'll take over some of the big, complicated parts. But," he said, glancing at Estheu and smiling, "with Balanduk's healing powers, even if you accidentally cut the major artery, it shouldn't be fine." ”

"I'm not a test subject!" Eishu said angrily, "I also don't believe that the huge Wang Li College can't train a single doctor in surgery and surgery!" ”

"Actually, there are, and there are quite a few of them. But I'm not willing to let you come into contact with those people. Brochette said, hesitating for a moment, then added, "Mainly because...... They may be responsible for your ambush at the border. ”

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Estheu didn't react at first glance, but both Brochette and Luciana noticed that his expression was suddenly cold, and the killing intent was in the center of his features. For a moment, both of them thought that Eshua would snatch the wolf axe and rush out of the door in the next second, to find those who were best in surgery and surgery.

"What do you mean by 'maybe'?" But Esher didn't really do that, just looked up at Brochette.

"Meaning I'm just skeptical, I can't really believe it, and there's no evidence. Remember the former Chief Knight of the Order of the Black Spear, Boris de Animor, also known as 'Sir Raven', that I told you earlier? He calls himself the son of prophecy, and under this name he gathers his followers and grows a following, which naturally does not tolerate another competitor. And with the ability of the mercenary group under his command, it is not difficult to earn a ballista. He wants you dead, and those people want to falsify the prophecies about you. Brochette pressed his forehead, "And what better way to confirm the hypocrisy of prophecy than the protagonist of death?" ”

Luciana recalls the dull, discordant voices of theological society meetings. It turned out that the conspiracy had happened naked in front of her, and even the children of prophecy could not get out of it. The "fourth corollary" that Brochette had mentioned to her resurfaced: the prophecy was not unfinished, but over!

"Who are they?" After a long silence, Eshu asked.

"Baranduk, I thought you knew how naïve it must be to use violence to solve the problem after beating Gastov. And do you think I'll give you a specific list? Even if the evidence is conclusive, the right to dispose of these people is mine, not you. You've only been a baron for a short time, and I don't want to kick you back into the ranks of mercenaries so soon. ”

"You've provided it. Leaders in surgery and surgery should not be difficult to find. "This time they colluded with each other, and I almost lost an arm, and you, as the dean of the Wang Li Academy, can you guarantee that there will be no next time?" Is the title important or my personal safety important? I'm not stupid enough to be scared by this level of threat. ”

"I'll investigate thoroughly, but you can't interfere." "It's okay to meddle if you want, no one can stop you anyway—if you want to spend the rest of your life dragging a piece of dead flesh to accomplish the great thing that Madigan prophesied—yes, it's another deal, and you can weigh it up to you whether it's worth it or not." ”

After another long silence, Eshua leaned back in his chair with some resistance and some reluctance, and looked at Luciana: "I'm ready, you can start at any time." ”
