While the Earl was collecting the things needed for the operation, Cheese and the others were not idle. Although the mage said it lightly yesterday, it is not a matter of saying anything to open up a child's surface tissues and remove the parasites that have already damaged his bones under such environmental conditions. The problems of anesthesia, surgery, sutures, etc., alone are enough to leave most people who know the cause helpless. And there was another problem that Cheese didn't tell them, and that was that although he was sure that the child's cause was a parasite, he couldn't be sure what kind of parasite it was.

This is also something that cannot be helped, the gray robes are very knowledgeable, and they can even be said to be the most knowledgeable group of people among all the known forces on this continent. But the word profound is originally a reference, if there is no land, how can there be unfathomable wisdom like the abyss? In fact, the knowledge that the gray robes get from books is not enough to answer the greatest, and the bottom is not enough to understand the subtleties. They may be able to explain a lot of things in principle, but if you ask them if they know every living thing in the world, you probably won't get a definite answer.

Parasites are an area that few people have ever touched upon. In this day and age, most people are still unable to distinguish the origin of disease, let alone the difference between the damage caused by subtle viruses, mutations in the body, or foreign parasites. From this point of view, it is already remarkable that Cheese can tell the presence of parasites. But on this basis, if he was asked to provide an effective treatment plan, Rao was a very knowledgeable mage who even studied diseases because of the rat-man plague, and could only say such a stupid way to take out the knife by manpower.

This is why Cheese concluded that the parasitic child, even if he could be cured, would not be able to ride a horse for the rest of his life, and that his operation would cause serious harm to the patient. But it's better than being tormented by parasites, becoming a breeding ground for them, and finally struggling to die in agony, isn't it?

"I need your help, shaman. Cheese hesitated for a moment, but the uneasiness prevailed over the depression that had been haunting him since he left the valley. He didn't want to be a healer now, because he was a patient himself. But since he had promised to save a life, as a gray robe, he did not allow himself not to do his best.

Wu Qi tilted his head, he could see the uneasiness in the mage, but he couldn't understand where the uneasiness came from. To him, the wizard from beyond the steppe was as mysterious and secretive as the existence of spirits. At least in what happened so far, even a sleepless monster like the Skinner, who could make people fear, really upset Cheese. How could such a person be so unbearable for a small treatment?

"I'd love to listen to your questions, but there's only so much help I can give to you, and I probably won't be able to get you right. ”

"I've heard that shamans in the steppes can see what is happening in the distance with the help of the eyes of animals. I hope you'll show me the land you're talking about, and maybe the more I know, the better I'll be able to deal with what's inside that child. "Cheese is no stranger to the records of shamanic abilities. It's just that most shamans believe that shamans derive their power from the spirits they serve, and this way of coexisting or even clinging to them for power is not real. Therefore, the wizards in the Grey Tower generally do not study the way of shamanism.

Wu Qi nodded, the mage's request was not beyond his ability, he could do it. It's just that before I can use this ability, there is one more problem to solve, "There are no animals in that land that I can cling to." I can't possess an ant or a praying mantis, at least the size of a mouse to accept my consciousness. But even so, my consciousness needs to rely on the senses of the animals themselves, and you don't want to see the world through the eyes of a mouse. And as far as I can remember, there are no suitable creatures there, not even rats. ”

"It's not hard to solve. There is one of the best eyes in front of our eyes. Cheese looked at Batuu, who had a complicated expression, and he had already thought of whose eyes the mage was talking about.

"Are you sure Naren won't be harmed?" a few minutes later, the boy asked the shaman and mage in a skeptical tone with a goshawk on his arm.

"The spirits do no harm to anyone. Wu Qi smiled, "They take care of every living thing like a bird cares for its feathers." ”

The shaman's appeal was quite high for the inhabitants of the steppe, and after Wu Qi made his promise, the anxiety on Batu's face was significantly relieved. He nodded, and before he could give an order to the goshawk on his arm, the latter jumped down and landed on the shaman's body. Strange to say, the talons of goshawks are their hunting weapons, and they are not as free to pop out as cats, and even the most seasoned falconers must be careful to wear arm guards and gloves before daring to get close to their partners. But Naren just stood on Wu Qi's chest, its claws hurting the shaman in the slightest. Even the shaman affectionately stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the feathers on the eagle's body.

"Children of the Hydrogazelle Tribe, your winged brother has immense trust in you. Your relationship is enviable. You can be trusted, please help me watch over my body. Wu Qi whispered, then pulled his other hand from the blanket, "Cheese, hold my palm, and I'll show you what I see." ”

"Chirp!" Batu took his companion out of the yurt and released him. His eyes were complicated, but the hand holding the short sword at his waist was powerful. He knew that in the tent behind him, the bodies of the shaman and the gray robe had taken on a state of sleep. They can't be bothered.

As the shadow of the eagle swept across the vast grassland, something hiding in the grass was alarmed, and the thing squirmed cautiously, becoming more cautious when it noticed the sun that had not yet set.

"The appointed day is coming. ”

There was a similar noise and an equally low hoarse voice in the grass near the mass, "Sacrifice, not yet here." He lied. ”

"No, wait, wait. The first mass of objects responded in a dull manner, and the flesh between the flesh and skin in the grass gradually coalesced into the shape of a cow. The cow had black fur and two beautiful horns. However, there were no eyeballs in its eyes, only two horrible blood holes, from which a pair of uncomfortable eyes were revealed that were much smaller than the blood holes.

"If he lies, we can eat them all. ”

As if encouraged by this sentence, the grass began to make the sound of the whisper, and the plural voices repeated what the black bull said,

"Eat it all! Eat it all!"
