"Are the guests the old and the young?" asked the black-robed man.

"Yes, the old man claims to be a hidden miracle doctor, and this time the magistrate brought him to see my son. The duke told the black-robed man the truth without concealing anything.

"You mean that the old man claims to be a miracle doctor, have you ever seen him treat others?" the black-robed man continued to ask, apparently interested in the old man's identity.

"This is the first time I have seen this old man, but the magistrate has seen him heal with his own eyes, and it is said that many people in Boulder City have received his free medical treatment. The duke finally understood that it seemed that only the old man in the black robe was really interested, but why an old man would attract so much attention from the black robe, the duke had no way to guess.

"Can you arrange for me to sneak another look at the old man?"

"Of course it's fine, it's just"

"Nothing is just, this person is very important to the Lord, I have to find out his identity, if he is really the person the Lord is looking for, you have done a great job, and the Lord will not treat you badly. In addition, quietly ask a few people who have been treated by the old man to ask about the process of treatment, since you are looking for him to treat his son, it is reasonable to know his medical skills. The black-robed man seemed to see the duke's hesitation, and his tone hardened.

"I only pray that the Lord will heal the sick of children. A rare look of pain appeared on the Duke's face.

"I have already told you about your son's condition, only the Lord in the world has the ability to heal him, now it seems that you don't fully believe my words, but it doesn't matter, this old man's medical skills are not weak today, I believe he will give you a similar answer after seeing your son's condition. ”

"Of course I will not question your words, and there is no doubt about the Lord's ability, but the magistrate is kind, and it is not convenient for me to refuse. Moreover, although this person is not in a high position, if he makes good use of it, it will also be of great help to the Lord's future plans. The Duke carefully explained his thoughts and intentions.

"It's okay! You can go and see how the old man diagnosed your son's condition. The black-robed man said indifferently.

When the Duke hurried to his only son's room, the old man had already completed the examination of the patient's body, and had just finished communicating with the patient and the Duchess.

Led by the Duchess, the group left the patient's room first and sat down in the next lounge. After the old man sat down, he wrinkled his brows and fell into a state of contemplation, but this contemplation did not last long, the old man raised his head, looked at the Duchess with a concerned expression, and then looked at the Duchess who had just arrived, and then said:

"In my experience, it is not a disease that you have suffers from, but a congenital defect that has caused him to lose some of his abilities. ”

"Is there a way for the miracle doctor to make up for this defect?" asked the Duchess, a little nervously.

"If it is a disease, no matter what it is, no matter how serious it is, as long as it does not reach the point where the vitality has dissipated, it can be cured, but this congenital defect is irreparable by human ability alone!" the old man stroked his beard and shook his head.

"Is there really no way? We are such a son, no matter how much it costs or how much it costs, we are willing to pay it. ”

The Duchess asked with a disappointed look on her face. But the old man still just shook his head.

"Divine doctor, if I heard me correctly, what you said is indeed something that is not capable of human beings, is there any way for other races other than humans to cure my son's illness?" the duke asked, grasping the flaw in the old man's words.

The old man listened to the duke's words, raised his head, a bright light flashed in his eyes, nodded and said: "The lord is right, there is indeed a thing in this world, if you can cooperate with the old man's medical skills, it should be able to make up for this congenital defect of the son." ”

"What's that? The old doctor helps, as long as we can cure my son's illness, we are willing to pay as much as it costs. When the Duchess heard that her son's illness was not incurable, she excitedly embraced the old man's arm.

At this time, the duke's heart sank into the abyss, and after listening to the old man's words, he already understood that the black-robed man did not lie to him, and the old man's judgment on his son's condition was almost exactly the same as that of the black-robed man, and both of them said that there was only one way in the world to cure his son. That method The black-robed man had already told him, and the black-robed man had told him truthfully that the identity and status of the black-robed man had determined that his words could not be disbelieved, but there was always a trace of luck, otherwise they would not have paid so much attention to and welcomed the arrival of the old man, but the old man's current statement made his last trace of luck disappear in his heart, and now he seems to have only one way to cooperate with the black-robed man.

At this time, the duke suddenly had doubts about the identity of the old man, he understood that the old man and the black-robed man had such the same diagnosis of the disease, it was definitely not a coincidence, there must be some kind of relationship between the two, but this relationship did not seem to be very friendly, at least not at the moment, otherwise it would not be possible to explain the hostility of the black-robed man's lord towards the old man, the duke knew very well that there were very few people in the whole continent who could be worthy of the black-robed man's master's action, at least there may be only one person in the entire Yusi Empire who was qualified, so the identity of the old man would definitely not be unknown, but a person of this status, with the knowledge of the duke, could not find a person who was right with the old man in front of him, which made the duke feel a little unbelievable.

"It's too precious to be bought, and it's not something that money can measure. But—" said the old man, who was about to say something.

"But what?" said the Duke.

"But we may be able to take some time to study it, I believe that with the old man's ability, it is not impossible to succeed, but it will take a long time. The old man groaned for a moment and said slowly.

"What is it, so valuable?" asked the Duke.

"A miraculous potion, a potion that stimulates the vital potential of the human body, it can reshape the functions of your son's body. ”

"Could it be the spring of the Fountain of Life in the Elven Forest?" the Duke said suddenly.

The old man's calm eyes suddenly became fierce because he heard the duke's words, and his gaze fell on the duke like a bolt of lightning, and then asked:

"How do you know it's the Fountain of Life?"

"What else could be such a precious and miraculous potion? I don't know much about medicine, but I've heard of the name of the Fountain of Life. The duke smiled bitterly, and then continued: "It seems that my son's illness is really incurable, let alone me, the spring of life is not mine, even Your Majesty can't get it, unless we can raze the elven forest and kill all the elves, otherwise they will definitely not give up the treasures of the clan to outsiders." ”
