Chapter 1365: A Dry Arm
"Mr. Bornser, I heard that you went to look for me when I was not there in the afternoon?"
As the headmaster of St. Mungo's Magical Hospital, Maca resolutely raised her trombone during this time,...... In fact, you can still get some privileges.
For example, the tent that Maca just walked into right now is obviously bigger than the surrounding one. And when Maca entered the room, he immediately saw Bornser sitting behind his desk, his head slightly bowed, as if reading a book.
Suddenly heard a voice at the entrance of the tent, and then Bornse looked up.
"Mr. McLean?" He was stunned for a moment, then beckoned, "Oh, yes...... I do have something to ask you for! ”
As he spoke, Bornse suddenly stood up and walked briskly towards Maca.
"Say it, Mr. Bounse! I'm listening! ”
Seeing that Maca didn't seem to be very there, the expression on Bornser's face did not change in any way.
"Actually," he said with a slight frown, "the question doesn't need to be said, you can see it with your own eyes—"
Before he could finish speaking, Bornse rolled up his sleeve and stretched out his right hand, which had been hidden in the sleeve of the therapist's robe. Immediately afterward, an arm that looked so dry that it didn't look like a human appeared in front of Maca.
"Huh?"
Maca hurriedly stepped forward and lowered her head to look at it carefully.
"What's going on...... What happened? What causes it? ”
He examined Bornser's arm, and even touched the skin of his arm, which was so dry that it was almost skinny—a rough touch that resembled tree bark.
It is worth mentioning that Bornse had actually dealt with it himself once - he put an alchemy ring on his arm to block the spread of magical properties, so that the drying phenomenon only occurred below the golden armband.
"It was an unconscious patient with a necklace around his neck...... When I examined him, I found the necklace he was wearing and accidentally touched it with my bare hands. ”
Bornser was also looking down at his arm, and there was a wry smile on his always solemn face.
"There's very terrible black magic on there, it's obvious, I just don't know what it is," he said, "and that's one of the last groups of wounded people to be taken to the hospital." ”
"Hmm-"
It's hard to tell anything from the injury on the arm alone. Macazai examined it carefully for a moment, only to notice a fluctuation of alien magic in the withered arm that was not Bornser's magic.
"Mr. Bornser, where is the necklace you just mentioned, and can you show me?"
"Of course, it's right here for me - you wait a minute."
As he spoke, Bornse pulled out a small box from the drawer and placed it in front of Maca on the desk.
The maca brief beckoned, allowing the box to float smoothly in front of his eyes.
As the lid of the box was lifted, a delicate-looking silver necklace was mixed with an unusual wave of magic that came into Maca's eyes.
"It's a curse......"
With a flick of her fingers, Maca floated the necklace out of the box, turning it around a few times in mid-air.
"And it's a curse in ancient magic. But...... Mr. Bounser, is there anyone else who has the same symptoms as the comatose patient? ”。
When Bornser heard this, he immediately shook his head and said:
"No, no—there's nothing like it except the patient."
"Then take me to see it first!"
Maca motioned for Bornse to retract her arm into her sleeve, then turned and walked out.
……
Since a large part of St. Mungo's are sick, when the team came to camp here, they also set aside a lawn for the patients as a patient area for those who need a quiet environment to treat and live.
On the way to the patient's tent, Bornser told Marka that he had put the patient into isolation in time. No one was allowed to step into it except him and the other chief therapist in charge of the disease.
Of course, maca is clearly a special case. Because even if Bornse hadn't warned the Aurors guarding there beforehand, the latter probably wouldn't have even let Maca in.
Following Bornser all the way through, he finally came to a tent at the back of the patient area, after passing through the front and middle parts of the patient area.
At the door of the tent stood two guarding wizards, and when they saw Maca and Bornser, they immediately gave a slight salute. After that, the two people began to do security checks.
After the two of them passed through security, they entered the tent that was used as a temporary ward.
But as soon as she entered, Maca found that, as Bornser had said before, there was a patient who was tied up and placed in a hospital bed.
"It's ...... Have you ever woken up? ”
Maca was clearly a little puzzled by how they were tying up the patient - wasn't it unconscious? What's the matter, this is a temporary change of play?
"Oh no, I haven't woken up," Bornser shook his head, "just in case." ”
Maca was noncommittal about this over-cautious approach—even if it was a little salty, it would be more profitable than the other waiting to reap the harvest.
Of course, after all, this is just a relatively big turmoil, and it is recommended to deal with it in a more vigilant way, rather than distinguishing people so clearly.
Maca said casually as she walked over to the bound patient and examined him.
Ten minutes passed, but Maca still didn't stop. On the other man's chest, he found a mark that looked like a necklace - what's going on? Is that silver necklace still "faded"?
It's a bit of a joke to say that the color fades, but Maca really wants to know what the mark represents—at least, there isn't the slightest bit of magic fluctuation on it, anyway.
"Mr. Bornser, what part of the necklace did you touch before?"
He wondered why the patient had nothing to do but was in a coma for a long time. On the contrary, Bornser's arm has become "like that".
What's the difference between the two?
"Ah, that's the part of the necklace."
It is said that it is a pendant, but in fact, it is just two silver pieces, and there are not even any strange nicks on them...... However, the curse in Bornse is no joke, it is a real curse magic.
After two more looks, Maca shook her fingers and let the necklace fall back into the box. Then he turned his gaze back to the patient.
