Chapter Fifty-Eight: Rebirth of the Cocoon
Higg didn't actually hear it, he was already asleep, and the physical exertion of a whole day had already collapsed for a man who had been in a coma for three months and was still seriously injured.
"From now on, the four of us must take turns by his side, starting with me, every three hours, and no one is allowed to leave at any time!" Nicole said with a wry smile, "He's been hurt and doesn't trust anyone anymore, I hope that when he opens his eyes, he can still see people he can trust around, and he will never leave him!" ”
I don't know how long I fell asleep, and when Higg woke up, Thomas was alone in the room in a daze, looking at the sky, but it was night
"How long did you sleep?" Higg asked.
"About a day!" Thomas said, "Uncle Higg, what do you mean by reshaping the body, can it really be restored?" ”
"Even a firebird can be burned to ashes and become a phoenix, what are you worried about?" Higg smiled, "Thomas, I want to leave you at the Academy of Magic to learn magic skills, you are still young, it is too hard to follow us, too dangerous!" ”
"You hate me for dragging you down, do you?" Thomas immediately became anxious and said sadly, "You know, I don't have a talent for learning magic, and I don't want to waste too much time on it. Didn't you say that I choose my own path? If you think I'm a drag on you, I can go back to the prairie. ”
Higg smiled and said, "Go and call Daniel and Pantony to come over and help me take off all the bandages and clothes and re-wrap them according to my method!" ”
……
Daniel, Thomas, and Pantony untied the bandages around Higg's head, legs, hands, and body one by one, and stripped his clothes and pants naked, revealing his charred body. Under the effect of the magic potion, although the body trauma that had been injured for three months had not recovered a little, it had not decayed and suppurated, and it was still the same as when it was first injured.
There is hardly a part of the skin on the body that has not been burned, the hair on the top of the head is gone, from the face to the soles of the feet, there is no whole piece of good skin, the entire arm of the right hand has turned into black charcoal, revealing the bones, and more than half of the flesh on the right half of the body has turned into charcoal, as if it is about to fall off when touched. It's a miracle that such a person is still alive, and it's no wonder that Abbas must figure out the source and composition of the potion.
Thomas and Daniel almost wanted to vomit in the face of this terrifying body, and even Higg himself frowned.
Sigg endured the severe pain and said to Daniel, "You wrap all of me around me with bandages, including my eyes, mouth, and nose, and I can't leave a single gap, but I have to wrap around a few more layers, and then put the Fire Spirit Orb on the ground in the center of the room, and shut all the doors and windows, so that no one can come in and disturb me, and I don't need any water or food." It will be as little as three or five days, or as long as thirty days, and if I don't come out after thirty days, you can come in and collect my body. ”
"Higg, you're not sure yourself, are you, don't you want to think of another way?" Daniel said to Higg as he wrapped the bandage.
"I'm only seven or eight percent sure!" Higg smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't forget my luck." I comprehended the origin of the fire system, and saw the phoenix nirvana with my own eyes, if I don't succeed again, it means that my luck has come to an end, haha! ”
"You're going to use the Phoenix Nirvana Technique? You've only seen it once and you've been able to comprehend this top-notch spell? Daniel asked, surprised.
Higg laughed, "There's no other way now, this is the only way to go!" ”
Several people held back tears and wrapped Xige layer by layer, without revealing a single gap, and from a distance, it looked like a huge snow-white cocoon, resting in the center of the room, and next to this red fire spirit bead.
For the first few days, Pantony outside the room drank heavily with a bottle, Daniel and Nicole occasionally entered the magic tower to test their magic skills, and Thomas practiced his sword in the courtyard every day.
Ten days later, the courtyard had become a battlefield where Thomas and Pantony were fighting.
Twenty days later, the small courtyard turned into a three-man fight, and Daniel, who had lost his patience, joined the battlefield, and although he was flattened by Thomas and Daniel every time, he still had no stage fright.
Twenty-five days later, Nicole also joined the fight in the small courtyard, and in the end, the trees, flowers, tables and chairs in the entire courtyard were completely devoid of survivors, and the small courtyard became a bare martial arts training ground.
During this period, Lu Manda and the other four magic guides came twice, wanting to know about Higg's progress, but they were unceremoniously bombarded away by everyone.
On the thirtieth day, no one fought anymore, but they all stood quietly at the door of Higg's room, anxiously waiting for the movement in the room, and the torment of waiting was like being roasted by a fire in the depths of their hearts, and that fire could not be extinguished.
"Can the Phoenix Nirvana Technique Really Succeed?" Nicole muttered a question in the air, asking everyone's thoughts.
No one said a superfluous word, no one had a superfluous action, as if time had stopped.
Everyone wanted to rush into the house and see Higg alive, but they feared that they would see a cold corpse when they rushed in. How can it not be painful not to have all kinds of joyful possibilities and terrifying possibilities constantly displayed in my mind?
As it approached dusk, the first to collapse was the irascible Pantony, who went to his room to bring out a few bottles of wine, and drank them in the courtyard, Thomas and Daniel quickly grabbed a bottle and began to drink it, and Pantony, who was usually very stingy with wine, even handed it to Nicole, who did not take the wine, and Nicole shook her head.
There was a loud bang from Higg's room, and everyone in the courtyard was stunned for a moment, and then everyone threw away the wine bottles at the same time, and Thomas kicked open Higg's door first, and everyone rushed in.
I saw that in the center of the room stood a full-body* Higg, whose skin had been charred had all been renewed, and the flesh on his arms and body had regrown, and the whole person had become newer, stronger and stronger, and even his hair had grown a few centimeters long. The room was a mess, full of fragments of the bandages, the white bandages had all turned black. Higg was closing his eyes, completely oblivious to the fact that everyone had come in, admiring the perfect body, even Nicole.
The four people who just came in couldn't believe their eyes, Daniel knocked Pantony on the head hard, Pantony screamed, Daniel laughed, "This is not a dream!" ”
"Enough of it, enough of it, go find clothes!" Higg said with a smile as he opened his eyes.
"Tut-tut, the newly released buns need to be dried before they can be eaten, no hurry!" Daniel circled around Higg and looked over and over again, as if to check that part of his body was not fit.
Nicole threw over a set of clothes and said with a grin, "It seems that I've gotten taller, so let's make do with the clothes first!" ”
Thomas stared at the next and smiled silly.
An alcoholic Pantony took a bottle of wine from his bosom and handed it to Higg, knocking him on the stomach with his fist and saying nothing. The bottle was quickly snatched away by Nicole, on the grounds that she couldn't drink at the beginning of her illness.
"Hahaha, Daniel, Nicole!" Higg laughed and said, "This time I am immortal, I have a great understanding of the magic world, I have a great understanding of the origin of the three major series of air, water and fire, I will tell you about these experiences and understandings another day, I hope it will be helpful for you to comprehend when you have a chance in the future." During this time, they are all busy with my own business, and I don't think you need to run around with me like this. ”
"Really, you're going to tell us about your pretty good magic?" Daniel exclaimed excitedly.
Nicole didn't respond, looked at Higg, and said seriously: "Higg, you asked me that day, can I still trust, I can't tell myself now." ”
"Nicole, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly." "You have said that there is no stronger friendship than this experience," said Higg. ”
"Higg, you are terrible, I am afraid that when I become your enemy one day, how will I deal with myself, and how will you deal with myself." Nicole said.
"Nicole, what the hell are you talking about?" Daniel said.
"There are some things that still need to be made clear!" Nicole said, "I'm actually from the Alchemy Country, and the King of the Alchemy Country, Einsey, is my father. In other words, I am the princess of the Alchemy Country. Now that the forces of Middle-earth are ready to move, who can guarantee that there will be no war in the future? If I were an ordinary alchemy countryman, this would be easy to say, but as the princess of the alchemy country, if there is a war, I still can't betray my own country and betray my father, and at that time, we will really meet each other! ”
"Nicole, why didn't you say it earlier?" Daniel asked.
"Daniel, you haven't said anything about it yourself since you were the Holy Maiden of Mizusawa Country!" Nicole said, "Actually, I'm not sure if you can tolerate me after I say it, after all, this identity is too sensitive, and I don't want to lose you!" ”
"Hahaha, Nicole, you're thinking too much!" Higg smiled, "Although you are the princess of the Alchemy Empire, I am an ordinary person in the Alasia Empire, even if there is a war, you serve your country, and I may not participate in the disputes of your empire." ”
Nicole said, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to help yourself when the time comes, unless you betray your country!" ”
"Well, Nicole, I'm glad you could say that." "When I was at Wanze Lake, Daniel's mother asked me to take Daniel away, and I think that is what I mean. Whether we will be enemies in the future or not is not up to us, so why should you bother, we will talk about it later! ”
Pantony didn't seem to understand, looking at this dullness, he jumped up irritably: "Today is a good day, why don't you say anything inconsequential, it's better to find a place to drink!" ”
