Chapter 30: Old Davy
After sending off Old Buzz and arranging for Nicole to take little Herman and Filly to the inner castle arena to play, Alyssa and Brooke take Rason and Daddy York to meet the elders that Alyssa said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing the old man lying on the bed in front of him, Luo Sheng knew it in his heart. For this patient, Luo Sheng is quite familiar, and it can even be said that this is one of the closest and most respected people in Cook Castle.
Old David, a former silver-tier warrior. Having served as the personal guard of the old Baron Cook and the deputy captain of the current Baron Cook's personal guard, he is one of the oldest soldiers in Cook Castle.
In a major battle nine years ago, the elder David blocked a deadly sneak attack for Baron Cook, who had not yet broken through the Golden Tier, but suffered a heavy blow himself. But at that time, in order to maintain his combat strength, the elder David did not withdraw from the battlefield to receive treatment, but directly used the scroll to treat serious injuries to maintain his injuries and continue to fight.
After a great battle, Baron Cook was unharmed, but the elder David almost died of his wounds. Although he survived with healing spells and the powerful physical recovery ability of a silver-tier warrior, he was left with a lifelong disability, paralyzed in the lower half of his body, and his professional level also fell to the bronze level, so he could only retire in Cook Castle.
But unlike other fighters who became extremely short-tempered and even self-defeating after being physically disabled, Old David regained his strength after the initial grief and depression. Not only did he insist on cultivating his fighting spirit, but he also enthusiastically instructed the newcomers in the castle, becoming one of the most popular warrior mentors in Cook Castle.
During his previous life at Cook Castle, Rason had served Davy Sr. for a period of time, and learned a lot of life experience and battlefield experience from this old man. These experiences saved Luo Sheng's life several times in later days.
In fact, one of the purposes of Rasen's choice to use surgery as a stepping stone to make friends with Cook Castle is to get the old soldier back on his feet and repay the teachings of his previous life. It's just that I didn't expect to see this old man as soon as my ability was recognized.
"Uncle David, this is Luo Sheng, I want him to see your injuries. In the face of this old retainer who has made great contributions to the Cook family, Alyssa has a very respectful attitude, and introduces him while helping him up.
"Are you the little one who healed little Herman?, York's son, what a young and promising man!" said Old Davy, who was reluctant to do it with Alyssa's support, nodded to Brooke and Daddy York, and said to Rawson with a smile.
"It's me. Uncle Davy. I've heard from my dad about your deeds, and I'm just researching a new treatment, and I hope it can help you. After Luo Sheng bowed his head and saluted, he responded calmly.
"You have a heart. However, my injuries are complicated, and there is no way to heal them even with advanced recovery techniques. The little guy can be cured if you can, and if you can't cure it, don't have too much pressure. Alyssa, too, even if you can't be cured, don't embarrass Luo Sheng. Anyway, after so many years, I'm a little used to it. Old David said gently.
Although he also wanted to recover his health, Old David knew his injuries best. Even if a gold-level priest makes a move, it may not be able to heal.
In the eyes of old David, Luo Sheng looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and even if his ability is very outstanding, I am afraid it will be difficult to really heal his injuries. And being able to be recognized by Alyssa and Brooke and invited to treat him shows that Luo Sheng's ability should be good and his future is also bright. If because of this treatment, Luo Sheng's promising young man's confidence is frustrated, or he is under other pressures, it is not worth it.
"Don't worry, uncle, I'll do my best. Let me take a look at your injuries first. Feeling the concern of old David, Luo Sheng replied solemnly. Not to mention the favor he received in his previous life, just a patient who has been paralyzed for nine years can still think about the healer first, and Luo Sheng will do his best to cure this old man.
"That's good. Come on. Old David glanced at Brooke, and after getting a look of approval, he nodded to Luo Sheng and lay down on the bed.
Luo Sheng stepped forward and lifted the clothes from Old David's waist, and what caught his eye was a hideous scar. The scar, which was bigger than Rason's slap, was entrenched near David's waist, pressing on his spine and pulling the muscles of his entire back.
Based on what he had seen and heard in his previous life, Luo Sheng knew that this scar came from the spear of a barbarian master. At that time, although the old David relied on his fighting spirit to defend and offset part of the enemy's strength, he was almost pierced through the body by this shot, and his internal organs were not lightly injured. After using the Healing Scroll, although the wound was sealed at that time and the combat effectiveness was maintained, the flesh and blood of the wound were entangled.
After the end of the war, the elder David was seriously wounded and died, and he was treated for his fatal wounds. Although his life was saved, the wound was also completely qualitative, and the chance of recovery was lost. Then the muscles near the wound tangled together, grabbing old David's back, making him miserable at the slightest movement. At the same time, the elder Davy slowly lost sensation in the lower half of his body and eventually became crippled.
Combined with what he had seen and heard in his previous life and the vision he had cultivated over the years, Luo Sheng basically determined the injury of old David after careful examination. Although these peripheral muscle involvements were painful for old David, they were not a big deal in nature, and the difficulty of treatment was comparable to that of Little Herman at best. What is really difficult to treat, and what causes old Davy's paralysis, is the dislocation of the intervertebral canal in the lower back.
During the fierce battle, Old David's lumbar spine should have been injured, but it was forcibly healed by a healing spell, causing a partial dislocation. When healing spells were used to restore wounds after the war, the lumbar intervertebral canal was completely misaligned, pressing the nerve passage, causing Davy Sr. to fall into paralysis. And the tangled muscles on the periphery were wrapped on it, which further solidified the problem, and also made Old David lose the possibility of being cured by spells.
After confirming the injury of old David, Luo Sheng stood up and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This kind of injury can only be treated with spells, and I am afraid that only special spells such as prayer and miracle magic can work, but if you use surgical methods, with your own in-depth understanding of the human body, you should still be somewhat sure.
"How's it going? Can your surgery restore old David's back muscles?" Brooke asked with some eagerness after seeing that Luo Sheng had finished his examination. Back then, Brooke was also a partner who fought on the battlefield with old David, and this friendship made the calm Brooke a little anxious.
However, Brooke also knows that Davy Sr.'s injuries are far more serious and complex than Herman Jr. Especially as he gets older, his qi and blood are declining, and old David's recovery ability is also declining. So even if he saw the effect on little Herman with his own eyes, Brooke just hoped that Rason could sort out old David's muscles and make him suffer less pain.
"The back muscle stretch is not a big problem and is easy to solve. But the situation in the lower back is very complicated, but with good preparation, Uncle David should be able to fully recover. Luo Sheng didn't make a fuss, and responded with certainty.
Treating old David is not only a wish for himself, but also an opportunity to prove his worth. After all, he has refused to become a retainer of the Cook family, and in this case, if he wants the Cook family to recognize himself and help him resist the thunder of the Bright Judge, he must show enough strength and value.
"What? fully recovered, can even paralysis be cured?" asked Brooke, slightly stunned, with a look of incredulity.
After listening to Rason explain the principles of surgery, Brooke still had some confidence in Rason's solution to the back muscle stretch that was making old David miserable. But to say that Rason was able to cure old David's paralysis, Brooke simply couldn't believe it. After all, there is no precedent for a cure for a disability like paralysis, except for special cases such as divine grace and prayer.
In fact, not only Brooke felt incredible, but even Alyssa and Daddy York couldn't believe it. It's just that Alyssa is difficult to speak because of her identity, and Daddy York chooses to believe in his son.
"If it were someone else, it would certainly not be possible to be cured by surgery if they were paralyzed for so long. However, Uncle David is in a special situation, he has been insisting on fighting qi cultivation all these years, and his leg qi and blood muscles have not failed. Only the damage to the spine in the waist is partially repaired, and the paralysis can be healed naturally. Luo Sheng explained in detail: "But to carry out treatment, I can't rely on it alone, and I still need the help of the teacher." And this surgery is risky, and I am not sure about it. ”
"How big is the risk, and is the consequence serious?" Brooke, who was already skeptical, immediately became nervous when he heard the word risk. After all, letting Luo Sheng treat old David was to relieve the pain of his old friend. If this leads to more serious consequences, it will be very sorry for the old friend.
"The risk is not huge, no more than 20% at most. However, if the surgery fails, it may cause spinal damage, complete paralysis of the lower limbs, and may even cause problems in the upper body. Although he was relatively sure of this treatment, Luo Sheng was not a legendary-level master in his previous life after all, and he was not completely sure, so he still said the ugly things ahead.
After listening to Luo Sheng's words, Brooke hesitated for a moment. Although Luo Sheng said that he was full of confidence, the consequences did not seem to be so serious that he could not accept it. But given the complexity of David's injury Sr., Brooke's confidence is severely lacking.
And in the final analysis, this is Davy Sr.'s own business, and on major matters related to the second half of David's life, Brooke does not dare to rashly make decisions for his old friend.
"Uncle David, what is your opinion?" Seeing that Brooke was hesitating, Alyssa glanced at Luo Sheng, and after finding that Luo Sheng was still calm, she turned to old David and asked.
"Twenty percent of the risk of paralysis of most of the body, fighting eighty percent of the benefits of being able to get back on their feet, what is there to hesitate about. This one, I'm bet!" Old David gritted his teeth, slapped the bed violently, made a decision, and then turned to Luo Sheng and said, "Boy, you don't have to be stressed. Just do your best, and even if you fail, I don't blame you!"
"That's good. Teacher Brooke, please prepare a Life Nourishment Spell and a Restoration Scroll. One will unleash the spell at my command. We're ready to start the surgery!"
