Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Countdown to Life (Part II)
Now that only Shilinya and Vasily were left in the room, the scene was very awkward, and Shilinya didn't know what to say. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Come and sit. In the end, it was Vasily who broke this awkward situation and took the initiative to invite Shilinya to him.
Shilinya, who was invited, didn't know whether to find something to liven up the atmosphere or jump right in, vacillating on this matter.
Vasily looked at the hesitant girl in front of him, not knowing what the other party was thinking, and inexplicably wanted to participate in these things that had nothing to do with the other party. If it was the professional ethics and professional ethics of a doctor, Vasily believed it, but Vasily also believed that there must be something else that led to the other party's involvement.
"Why do you want to help me? I have categorically rejected your request. Vasily, who was not familiar with Shilinya, finally asked the other party to know the reason.
"Do you remember which invitation was given to me the day before yesterday?" After thinking for a long time, Shilinya finally found a plausible reason.
Shilinya's reason made Vasily feel incredible, this was just a gesture of his own, and he didn't expect the other party to care about this matter. At first, Vasily thought that the other party's spirit was suddenly deranged, and he wanted to get involved in this matter.
Shilinya's reasons and attitude were reasonable and sincere, Vasily did not shirk and discuss with the other party, untied his clothes directly in front of the girl, and showed his left arm to the other party, hoping that the other party would see it and leave as soon as possible.
Vasily's sudden behavior made Shilinya feel very nervous, and the sudden undressing of a middle-aged man who gave her first impression of being a scumbag made her feel very stressed, and she didn't know what the other party wanted to do.
However, Shilinya still admitted that she had overthought it, and Vasily only unbuttoned his coat, but left the rest of his clothes, and then pulled the sleeve of his left arm open, showing Shilinya his injuries.
At first, Shilinya was still thinking about what the other party's injury was, if it was yesterday's injury, then she could still have a way to suppress the expansion of the other party's condition, so that she could still have some solutions to the other party's injury.
But when she fully saw this wound, Shilinya knew how hopeless the other party's injury had become.
"It's not yesterday's injury!" Shirinya retorted, the wound in front of her had healed completely, but under the wound, a large amount of purple-black stuff could be seen inside, and there were signs of spreading outward.
"I didn't say it was yesterday's injury, it was Princess Karin who took it upon herself to think I was injured last night. Vasily shrugged helplessly, as if he was also very helpless about this matter, who let the other party be so persistent and confident in this thing that cannot be said to outsiders.
"And ......" Vasily looked at the other's shocked and deceived expressions, feeling sympathy, after all, now both of them are victims of the same public nature, "this is not an injury, this is a curse." ā
"Uh......" Shilinya really didn't know what to say now, because it was not only beyond her imagination, but also beyond her ability.
Healing, Shilinya feels that she is still competent, whether it is external or internal injuries. But now, Shilinya is facing a curse, a curse that she has never encountered before, and Shilinya, who has very little research on curses, really doesn't know how to start.
"This seems to be beyond my ability...... "It's very embarrassing, Shilinya is now feeling very embarrassed, feeling like she was being slapped in the face by the other party,.
"It doesn't matter, I've gotten used to it over the years. Compared to Shilinya's embarrassment, Vasily acted very calmly, as if the curse on his body could not cause him any harm.
Putting his clothes back on, Vasily stopped paying attention to the other party and concentrated on his office, as if there was no one in this room.
After the embarrassment, Shilinya felt that she didn't know whether to leave or hang out here, or whether it was better to open her mind here. If you go out so quickly, you will inevitably feel that General Vasily is dead, and if you don't go out, you will feel very bored.
In desperation, Shilinya could only sit in front of the other party, quietly watching the other party seriously carry out the office, but her eyes were sweeping around, as if she wanted to find something interesting.
Time passed minute by minute, Shilinya spent her boredom like this, Shilinya didn't know how much time had passed now, but now was definitely not the time to go out, and she still needed to pretend to wait here.
When Shan Vasily disposed of the last copy, Shilinya was still sitting in front of the other party, without the slightest intention of leaving.
"Haven't you dealt with such a thing as a curse before?" Vasily took the initiative to ask the other party as if to break the current embarrassing situation, but this question sounded like a mockery to Shilinya.
As he spoke, Vasily kept looking around for something with his gaze, as if he wanted to find something to eat to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
After searching for a long time, Vasily finally found a plate of fruit on the table not far away, took it and invited him to share it with him.
"I haven't encountered it, and I used to deal with some physical injuries or illnesses. Shirinya, who had originally used her professional ethics to ask the other party, blushed and said, in this other world, the healing of curses is also the duty of a doctor, whether this doctor is a priest of the church, a mage who is proficient in recovery spells or alchemy, or some herbalists who can only use herbs roughly.
He is just a failing doctor, he just boasted in front of the other party, and now he is being ridiculed by the other party's strength, and Shilinya can hardly look up at the other party.
"It's a very vicious curse that accelerates the passage of life and makes people die irreversibly. It seems that he wants to do science popularization with this half-hung doctor, and maybe he wants to relieve the boredom of both parties, "Do you know Hilfania?"
"Know, vampire kingdom, necromancer's paradise. Shilinya answered the other party's question truthfully and accurately, and seemed to know where the other party's curse came from.
"That's right, some people say it's not like it anymore, but I think it's still the same. The fruit bowl that had been placed on the table was brought to the desk, and Vasily began to eat it himself.
"Even though those vampires have served the Imperial Legion, I think these guys are just a bunch of ticking time bombs that don't know when they're going to explode. But none of the guys in the Imperial Council could listen to my advice, and I don't know how much the old immortals have received from each other...... "Vasily ignored whether Shilinya was listening to what he was saying, and told the other party a lot of shady things, denouncing corruption.
"You can explain the situation directly to the emperor. Shilinya didn't know why the other party had been obsessed with the council, so she could only remind the other party of the most convenient and effective way.
The empire was an autocratic (harmonious) state with a high concentration of imperial power, and the parliament was much more than an ornament in many cases.
"Twenty-four emperors are dead, the authority of the current emperor has almost disappeared, and it is the parliament that holds the final say, and the parliament is the current center of power. While eating the fruit, while explaining the current political situation to the other party, Vasily seemed very casual, as if the curse on the other party could not make him any burden" Although there is now a strong emperor who has inhibited the further expansion of the parliament, the fact that the parliament now has the greatest say is still indisputable......"
Vasily revealed some of the inside stories to Shilinya, so that her thinking continued to spread, the current situation is internal and external troubles, the imperial power is constantly weakening, the general trend of parliamentary power is rising, if we add a breakthrough in the productive forces and a change in the relations of production, I am afraid that a democratic (harmonious) revolution will not be far away.
In every sense, Shilinya doesn't want such a situation, after all, she is also a member of the feudal forces now, and once this kind of thing happens, then the day when she will be pulled out to hang a street lamp is not far away.
"How the hell did you get your curse?" Not wanting to hear the political inside story of this general, Shilinya began to change the subject, hoping to shift the topic to a place of interest to herself, a topic that matched the current state of the two of them.
Eating the fruit, Vasily didn't seem to want to answer the other party's question, but after thinking for a while, he chose to satisfy the other party's curiosity.
"I'm the general of the Sealand Army, many years ago I was ordered to conquer Sylvania, in a war, I captured a vampire lord, I wanted to get some information from the other party, but I didn't expect the other party to suddenly put a deadly curse on me - that guy was still handcuffed with anti-magic. After a little recollection of the original situation, Vasily began to slowly share these past events for the other party.
"After many visits, this curse was finally contained within an acceptable range, but it greatly reduced my life. Now I don't know how many years my life has been reduced, maybe I can live a hundred years, or I may die tomorrow on the way out......" a terrible curse, which didn't seem to be a big deal in the eyes of the other party.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"After all these years, I'm still alive and well, that's what happened. Calmly spreading his hands, Vasily really didn't seem to care about this matter
