Chapter 168: Altous (I)

Winchester, Hampshire.

It was once a military town in the Roman colonial era and the old capital of Britain, formerly known as Vantaa. Bill Groom.

Over the course of a hundred years, Winchester has changed a lot, the towering tower is now a pure lookout, the barracks fortress has been replaced by a church or a dwelling, but the huge inner castle is still a military location, and at the same time the king of Hampshire, Al. The Mansion of Tous.

On the second floor of the castle, in a neat bedroom, a girl with long blond hair was lying on a hospital bed, her eyes closed, her face pale, and cold sweat constantly rising on her forehead.

There was a wooden chair beside the bed, on which sat an old man in a gray robe, his hands placed directly above the girl, his expression was serious, and his hands emitted a white light that was sometimes weak and sometimes strong.

The girl's sucking suddenly became faster, and her face became a little ruddy, but she frowned, and seemed to be quite painful, and even began to hum.

Seeing this scene, the old man withdrew the white light in his hand and sighed.

He stood up and shook his head slightly at the crowd of onlookers in the bedroom.

"I'm sorry, old ......"

“…… Enough is enough. The gray-haired and blue-eyed middle-aged man's face sank like water, he snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the room.

A middle-aged man in a suit beside him was shocked and hurriedly chased after him.

……

"Master, please wait!"

"Leave me alone."

"But ......"

"Enough!"

Altous scolded, and sighed under a tree in the courtyard of the mansion.

"Master, give me another chance! That pagan old man just now is unreliable, it doesn't matter, I also know a famous potions master here, with more than thirty years of medical experience, I immediately came over and asked him to see Miss......"

"Those people are all rubbish!" Tous frowned, "It's useless, it's helpless." ”

After speaking, a sad look appeared on his face.

"Even if I give you a chance, who can give my daughter a chance? I'm sorry for Evan......"

Sixteen years ago, Tous's wife, Evan. After Ryan died in childbirth, it was Tous who came to take care of his surviving daughter, Etiel.

Perhaps because she was a difficult child, Etil was frail and sickly since she was a child, and colds and fevers were commonplace, and if she was a little sicker, she was even in danger of affecting her life. In order to cure her physical weakness, Tous found her a famous alchemist and potions master at that time, refining potions to nourish her physique. Or let the excellent female warrior teach her martial arts and exercise her physique.

It's a pity that none of these have any obvious effects, not to mention that the effect of the potion is minimal, and even light exercise will cause muscle and bone damage, but it will make matters worse. As a result, ten years ago, Etil had a serious illness and has been ill until now.

In the past ten years, Tous spent a lot of money and time to find ways to cure his daughter, not only invited famous doctors and magicians in the country, but even the cardinal who was good at the magic of holy light healing was also invited, but for some reason, they couldn't cure his daughter, as long as the daughter's condition improved slightly, it didn't take long for her to relapse immediately, and now it is getting worse and worse, and even her life is in danger.

Now, ten years later, Tous no longer has much hope for the future.

"That's enough......," Tous sighed, "go and ask the Jute witch doctor how long he will live if Etiel's illness is not cured?" ”

"Oh, this is a question I asked for you before he started treatment, and I was afraid of affecting your mood, so I didn't tell you right away......" said the butler Sinard apologetically.

"How long?" Tous asked.

"One to two years......

Tous gasped, he had heard a similar answer from a doctor from the Far East two months ago, originally Tous saw that the other party used needles, touched wrists, boiled decoctions and other methods to cure diseases, without magic, and thought he was a liar, but after that, the doctor he invited also said a similar answer, if even others said that, then it was probably true.

However, for him, even if these doctors can find out his daughter's illness, if they are not cured, it is not much different.

"I understand, at least for these two years, let her live happily ......"

"Report, report!"

Before Tous could finish speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from not far away.

A man in black iron armor and an iron helmet walked up to Tous and saluted, "I have something important to report." ”

"Brad, this kind of etiquette is exempt, you have something to say." Tous sighed and said, "If it's about poisonous dragons, then it's even more so." ”

Speaking of the illness of his daughter Etil.

There was also an important turning point.

That's when they encountered a poisonous dragon ten years ago.

At that time, the young and vigorous Tous did not believe that his daughter's body would always be so weak, and in order to exercise his daughter's physique, he took the six-year-old Etil to hunt in the forest.

Who knows, on the way, he encountered a bipedal poisonous dragon.

Dragons are quite powerful monster creatures, and even the bipedal poison dragons of the wurm type have strength no less than the middle of the fourth order.

Tous was a fourth-order pinnacle swordsman, and knowing that carrying his daughter on horseback was not conducive to combat, he used his flaming sword to severely damage the poisonous dragon, forcing the other party to flee.

Who knows, when the poisonous dragon escaped, he even released a poisonous mist curse, which bruised the young Etiel, but fortunately, the priest of the rescue team came in time to eliminate the toxin on Etiel's body in time.

However, this incident was the beginning of a serious illness of unknown origin soon after, which has not been cured to this day.

On more than one occasion, Tous suspected that the poisonous dragon was not unleashing an ordinary curse, but a more subtle, insidious special curse that even the cardinal could not detect.

According to ancient texts, no matter what kind of curse, there is only one more straightforward way to solve the curse, other than to use the light energy that is restrained by the attributes to forcibly solve the curse, and that is to kill the creature that applied the curse.

Therefore, over the years, Tous has constantly sent people to look for the poisonous dragon that appeared in front of him at that time, but unfortunately he has never found it.

"No...... The subordinates are incompetent, and the whereabouts of the poisonous dragon are still unknown. "Therefore, I would like to report another matter, about the rebels who invaded the territory a few days ago. ”

"Oh, are they there again......" Tous sighed.

One cycle, a group of rebels suddenly came from Wiltshire next door to invade his territory Hamp, he thought at first it was the inaction of the Wiltshire lord, and later learned that those rebels seemed to be the remnants of the defeated generals somewhere, and there were not many of them, after sending the guards to encircle and suppress, they immediately hid and disappeared, but it didn't take long for them to run out again, which made Tous feel that he was being played.
