……

About two hours later, when the sun was setting in the west, Lin Tuo and Qingkong Master and Apprentice, who had been inspected, finally stepped into the palace wall under the leadership of the cold night and the rest of the guards.

The two also saw the palace for the first time.

For Lin Tuo, this is a large complex full of exotic styles, with a wood and stone structure, symmetrical distribution, a flat roof of the palace, and gorgeous columns and eaves.

The neat palace road on both sides of the flower clusters, scattered fountain pools, butterflies flying, not as grand and solemn as the human Oriental court, but also different from the magnificence of the Western court, more inclined to nature.

The whole palace is like a large garden, but in the details of the building, it has a surprising fineness.

"Teacher, look at the flowers carved on those houses, they are too detailed."

While walking, Xiao Qingkong's eyes widened and he looked around for a while, and he leaned over to Lin Tuo's side a little crampedly, and whispered.

The latter nodded, and then listened to the tall maid in front of him, called Cold Night:

"The architecture and layout of the palace are the work of the great masters of the arts, and this area is just a corner, and if you can successfully heal Your Highness, you may be able to enter and leave the court.

When the time comes, it will be found that the details of each courtyard are different from each other, and the whole palace brings together the essence of various artistic schools, and the most rare thing is that it is unified as a whole. ”

There is no deliberate ostentation or arrogance in the narrative of the cold night.

If there is, it is only with the inherent character of the residents of the city that never sleeps.

In almost any civilization, the life in the core area will have a subtle psychology of "at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which is one level higher than the rest of the region".

However, these simple descriptions have already made Qingkong listen to it with admiration, only to feel that he has not seen as much as he has seen in the past many years.

As she spoke, she also looked at the two of them out of the corner of her eye, Qingkong's performance was not surprising to her, but the doctor called "Shanhai" was a little weird.

From the appearance and demeanor of the other party, it can be seen that he has indeed never entered the palace before, which does not seem to be fake, but he is not half surprised and restrained.

Not to mention trepidation.

During the walk, the bearing that was unintentionally revealed...... If I had to describe it, I could only use the word "appreciation"!

Yes, he is admiring the royal palace!

Han Ye was startled by this thought that popped up in his heart, shook his head, but looked at Lin Tuo's gaze from being more suspicious to a little more trusting......

A clansman with this kind of bearing should always have some ability, right?

Otherwise, it is impossible to be so calm.

But he didn't know that for Lin Tuo, he really had the feeling of appreciating his own garden.

After the group passed through an arch and entered another quiet and elegant courtyard, Lin Tuo finally saw his goal.

In the small courtyard, several houses stand lightly aside, and under a tree of unknown species, a wheelchair is placed.

A petite and white silver-haired girl sat on the back of the chair with soft cushions, her eyes looking beyond the palace walls, and in the distance, the magnificent trunk of the moon tree.

"Your Highness, this is the physician who has been called."

Saluting in the cold night, the girl named Sesai came back to her senses, twisted her wheelchair, turned around, looked at a pair of masters and apprentices with some surprise, her eyes fell on Lin Tuo, who was wearing shabby but clean robes, and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, but I can't get up to greet you."

"Her Royal Highness doesn't have to be like this." Lin Tuo followed his memory and placed his right arm in front of him as a salute, while examining the patient curiously...... Petite, delicate, quiet, tranquil...... Sorrow, that was the first impression he perceived.

At the same time, the vision also stayed on the other party's silver hair for a few minutes.

According to the memories of "Shanhai", he knew that the hierarchy within the Moon Clan, in addition to the acquired strength, wealth, and power, was largely due to the purity of the bloodline.

Yes, a group of beings derived from the Moon Tree also exist in this case!

Just like humans, offspring will also inherit the genes of their ancestors to varying degrees, and the embodiment of the Moon Clan is reflected in the correlation between the bloodline in the body and the Moon Tree, and the most obvious feature is hair color.

The closer to the white color of the moon tree, the purer it is, like the girl's silver-white hair color, it means that its bloodline is extremely pure, no wonder it can stand out from thousands of the same batch of newborns and be adopted by the royal family......

Correspondingly, the hair color of the maid next to her is not so pure, it is more complicated, and in the social system of the Moon Clan, the innate status is low.

As for the body of "Mountains and Seas" inherited by Lin Tuo, the purity of the bloodline belongs to the middle and upper, if there is no "mutilation", it will probably not be exiled to distant tribes, but will be adopted by the residents of the city that never sleeps......

A lot of information flowed through his mind, and Lin Tuo heard the girl in the wheelchair say curiously: "I heard Han Ye say that Your Excellency came from afar from the Dongsen tribe. ”

"That's true." Lin Tuo said indifferently.

"Ah, that's really hard, it's a long journey, and you should rest in the official residence for a few days before entering the palace." Sesai said, an apologetic look in his eyes.

The cold night next to him didn't speak, but he thought to himself that His Highness was still good-tempered after all.

A low-level doctor with a crippled body, if it weren't for the fact that he "rushed to the doctor", the master and apprentice should not have had the opportunity to step into the palace in this life, and they have not yet revealed their true skills, so why be so polite......

At the very least, you have to wait for the other party to really come up with clever means.

Lin Tuo smiled and said:

"No, I don't think Your Highness wants to be a few days late to get up."

Sesai was stunned, and there was a slight brilliance in his eyes:

"The doctor hasn't diagnosed and treated me yet, but if he has seen my illness with his own eyes, can he definitely cure my leg?"

Originally, Sesai was not hopeful in his heart, and the reception of Lin Tuo was on the one hand the persistence of the cold night, and on the other hand, it was also out of etiquette.

If there is anything else, it is the boredom of being trapped in the palace for a long time, thinking about meeting outsiders, at this moment, listening to Lin Tuo say this, he is a little nervous.

Immediately, he saw Lin Tuo shaking his head.

Sesai was at a loss, so he listened to the cold night on the side and said with a strange expression: "This person said that his medical skills have not healed His Highness's leg injury, but ...... It can make His Highness stand up again. ”

Sesai was stunned for a moment, becoming more and more puzzled, thinking to himself what the truth is?

The guards and maids guarding next to him also turned their eyes to Lin Tuo, and in the face of everyone's probing or annoyed gazes, Xiao Qingkong's face turned a little pale.

I thought to myself that the teacher would not get away with it...... This is a princess, how can she be fooled?

Turning his head to look at Lin Tuo, he heard the latter smile and say:

"I need some materials, as well as a set of clothes for His Highness's daily life, and a quiet, undisturbed studio."

Everyone looked at each other, and the cold night had the heart to scold and question, she really didn't like the appearance of this "mountain and sea", and thought to herself that if the patriarch was present, see if you dare to sell it like this.

Then, I heard the girl in the wheelchair answer curiously:

"Good. On a cold night, what this doctor needs, you go and prepare. ”

After a pause, she hesitated, "If the medicinal materials are too scarce......

Lin Tuo raised his hand to interrupt Sesai's words, and said with a smile:

"It's not scarce, I just need some fallen branches of the moon tree, and some of the moon tree sap, that's all."

……

……

As Lin Tuo said, his requirements are not difficult to meet, and it can even be said that they are simply excessive!

Although the cold night was full of doubts, he still arranged a house in the side hall, sent materials, and even personally brought the guards outside to "protect" to prevent anyone from disturbing.

Lin Tuo didn't care about her careful thoughts, and immediately took Qingkong into the work room and got busy.

Soon, in the workshop of the small courtyard of the palace, there was a sound of knocking and beating, which made the expression of the cold night guarding outside the door constantly change, and he wanted to go and see it, but he was worried that it would affect the final effect, so he endured it.

Before you know it, the sunny day has passed.

At night, the light of the moon tree illuminates the courtyard, but because of the wall, the house is lit up with oil lamps.

This time, the cold night saw the silhouette of the busy table more clearly, sometimes sitting at the table fiddling with something, sometimes sitting quietly, even lying still, when dinner was served, he just opened the door and took it in.

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.

During this period, even the great patriarch who had finished handling political affairs came to take a look at it briefly, but he did not alarm anyone and quietly left again.

The next day, even Qingkong was kicked out and guarded at the door, except for the regular delivery of meals, no one knew what "Shanhai" was busy with.

"It's not like it's a pharmaceutical, anyway." Han Ye thought, looked at Qingkong who was sitting at the door with an aggrieved face, and wanted to interrogate, but the boy covered his mouth before she could speak.

It means that the master didn't tell him, and if he wanted to pry his mouth open, he couldn't, so he had to tell the guards to keep an eye on it, and he left angrily.

Frightened, Qingkong who was sitting on the steps shrank his neck, turned his head to look at the face of the room, and a worried and puzzled look appeared.

He found that he couldn't understand something.

The others didn't know the details, but he could guess somewhat, and since he entered last night, the teacher had drawn a few sketches with pen and paper, and asked him to help cut the materials into different shapes.

While most of them are oddly useless, you can probably guess some eyebrows.

It seemed to him that the teacher was trying to make a machine to help the princess walk, which surprised and bewildered him.

Surprisingly, he has lived with the mountains and seas for many years, but he has never seen this craft.

The puzzle is, how can this idea come to fruition? What kind of machine can help a person walk? If you don't want to make a crutch, then I am afraid that my master and apprentice will be killed by the sword of the tall maid.

In addition, with the contact in the past few days, a doubt has become more and more grand in Qingkong's heart, and he found that his teacher has become a little strange.

This refers not to those "self-taught" crafts, but also to the change of temperament and demeanor, the mountains and seas in the past were poor, because of the disability, the expression is always gloomy and shrunken, and I don't like to show outsiders.

When I see a big man, I never get much better than him......

But in the past few days, especially after entering the city that never sleeps, Shanhai seems to have changed as if he was a different person, becoming confident and calm, and the haze has been swept away.

This made Qingkong both surprised and worried, and he couldn't figure out which link went wrong, but fortunately, the master's attitude towards him hadn't changed, but it was just ......

"Teacher, can you handle it, if you fail, so many people are guarding, it's not easy to run away."

In the mood of worry, the day goes by in a blink of an eye.

At dawn on the third day, the crack in the door opened, and Lin Tuo, who looked tired, walked out, leaving only the next sentence, "Please come over."

It caused a panic in the quiet courtyard, and the guards guarding the door hurriedly reported the news, and ten minutes later, the cold night pushed the plug to the door of the house.

"Your Highness can come in, the rest of the people are waiting outside, it will take a little time."

Lin Tuo looked at the more and more Moon Clan people gathered in the courtyard, frowned, and said.

"How can that be?" The cold night was a little angry, but was held down by the silver-haired girl in the wheelchair, today's Sesai, his eyes were full of nervousness and expectation, "Listen to the words of Doctor Shanhai, if there is something, I will call you." ”

"Your Highness, but...... All right. "I tried to stop it in the cold night, but I was finally defeated in the light of Sesai's eyes.

glared at Lin Tuo viciously, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the collar of Qingkong's neck with a worried face, pulled him over, and said:

"If you heal normally, it's fine, but if you dare to come nonsense......"

Lin Tuo's tired eyes overflowed with a smile, took over the work of pushing the wheelchair, and said while pushing the plug into the room:

"The blue sky is for you."

Blue Sky: "......"

So, why do you want me to resist if you fail???

In the eyes of the blue sky collapsed, the door slammed shut, which also blocked the line of sight, and the waiters in the courtyard nervously gathered together, and the atmosphere was inexplicably quiet.

Qingkong was even more silent, looking at the sword on his waist in the cold night, and then at the door, praying in his heart for the blessing of the moon tree.

As time passed, only the sound of small conversations could be heard from time to time in the house, but it was not clear.

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

Fifteen minutes passed.

The atmosphere grew scorching, the room was silent, and the air became more and more dead, except for the crowd that grew.

At first, it was just a waiter, and later, it was other princes and princesses, and then, when the big patriarch dressed in gorgeous clothes and dressed in a noble manner also came to this courtyard, a group of people saluted one after another:

"King."

"How's it going?" The Great Patriarch waved his hand and asked in a hoarse voice.

He just ended the royal court council, and the tribes below were fighting openly and secretly, and there was also an impact of beasts on the border of the royal court, which was the time for headaches, so it was much later to get the news.

"It's been half a month since Your Highness went in." There is humanity.

"There was no movement." A tall Moon Clan boy said nervously, "Father, why don't I go in and have a look?" ”

"The teacher said don't let me disturb, otherwise it will affect the treatment!" Qingkong, who was standing beside the cold night as a hostage, was also released, and he said loudly.

The patriarch glanced at the young man, was silent, and said, "Wait, if there is no movement, then ......"

"Squeak-"

At this moment, the sound of a door folding page slamming and pulling attracted everyone's attention, and in the small courtyard, dozens of eyes were turned to the closed door at the same time.

Lin Tuo, who was wearing a plain robe, tired, and sweaty on his forehead, walked out, stunned, and said, "There are so many people." ”

"How's it going?" The Great Patriarch said busily.

Lin Tuo looked at the other party, and probably judged the identity of the king of the Moon Clan, and was hesitating about what kind of attitude to use, when he heard a girl's surprise cry behind him:

"Father, you're here too?"

Lin Tuo's heart moved, he smiled silently, and just turned sideways.

Then, one by one, eyes fell on the door.

I saw that the petite silver-haired girl was standing quietly in the door, her face flushed, she looked extremely excited, her hands were clenched into fists, she glanced at Lin Tuo, and took a step forward in the other party's encouraging eyes.

Two steps.

Three steps.

With each step, there was a crisp metal click.

Brilliant sunlight shone through the stretched branches of the moon tree, turning into beams of light that spilled into the palace walls, illuminating the Seis, and also illuminating the two mechanical structures under her skirt and fixed to her feet, reflecting a dark glow.

It was a pair of silver-white prosthetic limbs.

Or, to be more precise, a simple exoskeleton based on alchemy.

"Click, click......"

In full view of everyone, Sesai walked out of the house, and his steps quickly became proficient from the rusty beginning, and finally trotted to the great patriarch:

"Father, I can walk again."

In her tone, it was difficult to hide her excitement.

And the great patriarch with a tall body and sterling silver hair also opened his mouth with tears in his eyes, but he didn't lose his temper under everyone's gaze after all, but just said in a trembling voice: "Okay." ”

Then he forcibly turned his gaze to Lin Tuo, who was standing under the eaves, watching this scene with a smile, and asked, "Is this ...... How? ”

Lin Tuo's expression was calm, and he said with a smile:

"Alchemy."

"This is the power of alchemy."
