Save Androni's life. - Memorandum of the Earth Goddess.

Save Androni's soul. -- Huangquan invitation letter.

The edict issued by the two gods was only such a simple two sentences, although Andrei did not understand the gods' practice of taking care of everything, but the children of the abyss, who had studied the elven doctrine and history diligently, also understood one truth-although the gods were omnipresent, they could not respond to the prayers of mortals as well.

Generally speaking, only those who act in accordance with the teachings of the gods will receive a response from the gods when they are in a desperate situation.

In other words, although Androni is not a believer in the Earth Goddess and the Lord of Yellow Springs, she is a person who secretly matches the preferences of the two gods. For this reason, the prayer of the maiden's heart, although it did not lead to the miracle of the two Majesties themselves, was not indifferent, so the gods intervened in what was happening at the moment through those close to her.

The quests that Naneri, Larry, and Androni "triggered" were all triggered by similar causes.

In fact, when the "mission" appeared on the top of the head of the girl in the red dress, Andrei should have expected it.

If the desperate maiden had some kind of conspiracy in mind when she stopped him with words and circumstances, or if she was a hypocritical, selfish person who was accustomed to playing tricks for her own benefit, then the likelihood that the gods would be concerned about her life and death and try to change her fate would be greatly reduced. Unless her life is closely related to the stability of the situation in all living beings or even the entire region, her death may become the trigger for a devastating war.

But in that case, the quest will probably be changed to Epic difficulty, right?

Andrei's mind was in a mess now, not because of the causes and consequences that had prompted Androni to commit suicide and that he hadn't fully figured out the causes and consequences, but because the difficulty of the task given to him by the two gods this time was different from what he had received before.

If the wound on the girl's neck heals quickly with the life magic immediately, Androni can be saved directly.

Excessive blood loss leads to death, mainly due to the rapid necrosis of body organs due to lack of oxygen, and the most critical and deadly of these are the heart and brain. Unlike many body tissues, such as limbs, necrosis of heart muscle cells and nerve cells is considered an irreversible process even in applied medicine, although this is not so absolute.

Normally, when the body is injured, the tissue cells will divide themselves to replace the damage. Cardiomyocardial working cells and most nerve cells, as well as contractile cells and brain cells that maintain the heartbeat, are terminally differentiated cells that are not normally able to repair themselves. In layman's terms. That is, necrosis is as much as it can be replenished in quantity, and its loss can only be replaced by strengthening other cells around the necrotic cells. Because of this, cerebral infarction and vegetative recovery have always been major problems in the medical field, and the vast majority of paraplegics and many heart diseases will also plague patients for the rest of their lives.

But Galandia is not a world ruled by science after all, and the problems that medicine is difficult to solve are not necessarily the same for magic. In the speculation of the children of the abyss, the life spell should be able to heal the heart and nerve cells, and if the life spell cannot, then the life magic will definitely be able to. While there is little difference between the two in terms of the nature of their energy, the difference in actual healing effects is enough to make unbelievers like the Children of the Abyss feel awe of the gods.

If the life spell heals diseases and injuries mainly by enhancing the body's own immunity and self-healing ability, it is only an amplification of the recovery characteristics of the organism itself. Then the "miracles" achieved under the power of divine magic are not something that Andre can explain with his own knowledge -- to make the severed arm that has been lost for many years grow intact again, and even to create a complete and independent new life from the biological tissue that has been completely necrotic! These things that make people feel strange are difficult to explain purely from a scientific point of view, but the magic of rebirth of severed limbs has been witnessed by the children of the abyss. The power of the gods is so powerful that the more mortals know about it, the more they are in awe.

Because he understands these many things, Andre has a certain certainty of saving the girl's life. According to the eyes of the children of the abyss, Andronie's blood loss was already very dangerous at this time, otherwise she would not have fallen into a coma, and a large amount of blood stained her body, making her long red dress more and more vivid, but her face was as pale as paper.

Life magic may be able to replace or supplement the process of blood delivery nutrients to a certain extent, although Andre has not really experimented, but I think this substitution effect must have its limits, just as the effect of buff life spells is also its own limit, and its specific effect is often closely related to the caster's magic attainments and the recipient's physical strength. If flesh and blood can be revitalized purely by magic, then it is difficult to consider it an ordinary flesh life, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a half-elemental life. The elves who live in Garanord are the most well-known half-elemental beings.

And at this moment, the biggest question facing Andre is - how to save the girl's life with the magic of life without being noticed by others.

Mortals' perception of magic often depends on their affinity for this magic and their own mental power, which is commonly referred to as magical talent. Weak and wonderful life fluctuations, druids and earth sacrifices will be discovered earlier than ordinary elves, and if life fluctuations are replaced by the flow changes of the water element, the deep sea sacrifices will be more sensitive than the earth sacrifices. The same spell has a certain difference in the eyes or feelings of different people. It's just that while saving people, he can't let the guys around him who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement find out that they are rescuing the girl, instead of any funeral ceremony, which makes Andre feel a little difficult. After all, the "profession" of druid is more like a precursor to the opening of the dragon warrior's "job transfer" for him, and studying healing spells is just to be able to comprehend the dragon warrior's core "skill" dragon strike technique.

For the half-hung son of the abyss, he can be said to have no experience in how difficult it is to rescue when the spell is limited. Even when he practiced healing spells, he practiced them only with small wounds deliberately cut on his arms, as well as warriors who were injured in training and in the ring. A healing spell that can save lives, the children of the abyss really don't have the slightest experience in casting them.

However, the knowledge from the other world allowed André to maintain a certain degree of composure, because he knew very well that although the wound on Androni's neck was fatal, under the healing spell, it was not necessarily more difficult to heal than ordinary injuries. After all, the size of the wound in the gap was not exaggerated, and the Child of the Abyss was sure enough to make it completely heal, and what made him feel unsure was how to use life spells to replenish the large amount of blood lost by the girl without being discovered.

After thinking about so many messy things but not doing it, it was not simply because Andrei was hesitant. He knew very well how much blood would be in danger for ordinary people after losing blood, but he couldn't be sure what kind of pool of blood would form if that amount of blood flowed to the ground. However, what he was not sure about did not mean that all those present were as unclear as he was, and for those adventurers who had been licking blood from the knife for many years, corpses lying in pools of blood had long been a commonplace image.

For this reason, in order not to arouse people's suspicions, the son of the abyss decided to endure and watch the girl's bleeding become less and less.

"It's time to get moving...... Andre gripped the girl's wrist that was starting to get cold, but he didn't bother to feel the smooth skin in his hand, he frowned and carefully felt Andronie's pulse, which he could no longer rely on touch, and whispered in an otherworldly language that no one could understand.

The boundaries between life and death are not as clear as one might think. Not being able to feel Andronie's heartbeat from her wrist and carotid artery doesn't mean her heart has really stopped completely. Experienced clinicians know that the heartbeat of a dying person is often not a simple process of jumping and not jumping, and it is not a simple and direct process from existence to non-existence. Except for patients whose physical condition deteriorates rapidly, most natural deaths are a relatively slow process from 60 or 70 heartbeats per minute and more than a dozen excessive breaths per minute to 30 heartbeats and several breaths per minute. At a time when there are only a dozen or even a few heartbeats per minute, the pulse of the human body is difficult to confirm by palpation, but the instruments used to monitor vital signs are still better enough to record all of this. At this time, the breathing action will be too weak to be detected, the oxygen supply to the body organs will become unsustainable, so that the strength of the heartbeat will be further weakened, and the lack of oxygen to the brain will also make people fall into shock or coma.

Andrei was not a doctor in his previous life, but "a" a biologist, and in his opinion, the process of dying is somewhat similar to the process of hibernation in ectotherms. However, death is due to the inability of the human body to function normally due to the damage of the body, while hibernation is a subtle state that organisms voluntarily enter through hormone regulation and other measures in order to adapt to low temperatures. Hibernating animals can be revived with the rise of temperature from the state of life characteristics close to "zero", but dying people can not easily do this, even if they can be rescued by luck, muscle necrosis caused by lack of oxygen is likely to bring a variety of incurable sequelae, how to maintain Androni's most basic physiological activity without anyone noticing, so as not to make her body suffer irreparable trauma, is what Andre is considering at the moment.

The Children of the Abyss half-knelt beside the girl in the red dress, one hand touching the wound on her neck, and the other hand waving in the air like a magic stick, scribbling something. The whispered words in his mouth were like a mantra that no one could understand: "I begged for death but asked me to wipe my ass, and I can't let people see the flaws, what kind of messy side quest is this......"

A little shadow and life magic shone in a blood-red glow on Andrei's swaying left hand, and in the exclamation of the onlookers, the Children of the Abyss had quietly healed Andronie's carotid artery. In order not to let people discover the flaw in this detail, he not only used the blinding method of his left hand as a cover, but also only healed the inner part of the wound with the healing spell. Relying on the cover of the bloodstains, no one could see that the wound under the bloodstains had partially healed, even if he had been paying close attention to the wound Andre, in his eyes, the shocking wound on the girl's neck had only narrowed and become a little smaller.

This should be fine, Andre thought to himself, and then began to tidy up Andronie's appearance like the mortuary in his memory, and under the cover of this process, he carefully channeled the imperceptible life force into the girl's body many times, so as to maintain her most basic vital signs.

With the input of magic power again and again, Andre, whose life perception has been raised to the limit, seems to "see" that the girl's heart muscle trembling has finally become more and more stable, although the contraction force still makes him feel weak and slow, but he has always been working tenaciously and hard.

It's just that the actual situation is somewhat unexpected by Andrei.

Before he could wipe the sweat from his forehead, his eyes, which had just calmed down, became solemn once more—it had only been a few breaths before Andronie's heartbeat began to weaken again. The magic that can't be discerned by the naked eye is like fuel fed into the heart, maintaining the stability of the girl's heartbeat in a way that is similar to burning, but it can't last.

This may be the result of excessive blood loss, which is one of the sources of life!

Increasing the input of mana is the most direct way to ensure Androni's life. As long as the heartbeat and breathing are not completely stopped, even if the vital signs do not return to a normal state of health, it is enough to ensure that the hypoxic necrosis of the body does not worsen. As long as the situation does not deteriorate, André is sure that she will be able to recover well with enough magic after the fact.

That was the limit of what he could do without being noticed, and while he still had plenty of life mana in his body, increasing the mana input would only allow onlookers to deduce from the visible green glow that he was treating Androni, not some bullshit funeral ritual.

If all that people focus on is the corpse of a young girl, few people will probably do anything about her, but if it were a rescued girl, it would only bring the situation back to a few minutes ago.

"Get that bastard out of Annie!You've all been deceived by him, he's not a goddess sacrifice at all!Will a goddess sacrifice be put on a price as a slave!?" Perhaps the fact that the maiden would rather die than commit herself to him, and let a young handsome half-elf arrange the funeral for her was too difficult to accept, and Adrian, who was stopped on the sidelines, barely stopped harassing him from the moment the children of the abyss began to observe the injuries.

Focusing on rescuing the girl, the Children of the Abyss had ignored the other party's yelling for a while, but when he felt helpless, the young nobleman's chatter only made him feel irritated.

"Shout you MB, shout!" Andre glared angrily, and in order not to escalate the situation, he was shouting an otherworldly language that no one could understand.

Adrian, who was yelled at, seemed slightly frightened, but he immediately straightened out his words to fight back: "This half-elf of unknown origin is definitely not an earth sacrifice! You can all see the red light blooming on his hand! How can an earth sacrifice cast such a chilling spell!? He is a cultist at all, and he is performing some kind of magic on Anne!!"

A gentle and bright green light lit up from the hands of the Children of the Abyss, and the signature green glow of life magic is almost a well-known thing in this world, just as the golden light magic represents the Lord of Radiance, which is undoubtedly the most intuitive and irrefutable evidence that André can use to refute the guy on the other side.

The son of the abyss, who held the magic light in his hand, stood up unhurriedly, and looked at the young nobleman who had just been slapped in the face in public with an indifferent face: "Although you are not smart, you made me mention the key to the problem very unexpectedly. I want this woman's soul not to fall into hell forever after she dies...... A rare forbidden ritual must be performed. ”

The children of the abyssal had that strange smile on their face for unknown reasons.
