Chapter Seventy-Six: Blood and Tears

The interruption of the blue-crowned rooster made the atmosphere in the study a little lighter again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dr. Duzem tugged at his neckline, a slightly uncomfortable expression on his yellow face.

"I'm sorry, this wall clock has been broken for a long time. The doctor haphazardly tucked away the manuscripts and books on the table, and his voice seemed less confident: "Actually, it's not time to eat yet...... Of course, if you're hungry......"

"No, no. Zheng Qing shook his head again and again.

He really wasn't hungry.

"We actually have other things that we need your help with, so I don't want to bother with them. Jiang Yu added with a smile.

Dr. Douzam was relieved by this remark.

"So, what can I do to help you?" the doctor rubbed his hands together and showed an enthusiastic expression, "Please speak, please speak." ”

As far as he is concerned, as long as the Jiang family is not here to check the accounts, everything is easy to say.

"I've heard that you're highly skilled in alchemy, so I'd like to ask you some questions. Jiang Yu still complimented the doctor a little according to the ancient habit before he spoke.

"I'm only good at the 'Life Alchemy Method' in alchemy," Dr. Duzem replied very cautiously, "I can only say that I know a little bit about other subdivisions. ”

"I asked about the 'refining of life'. Jiang Yu showed a satisfied smile on his face: "My friend has some special partners and has encountered some trouble...... I hope you can point me across. ”

As she spoke, she put down the teacup, took the cardboard box in Zheng Qing's arms, and gently placed it on the desk.

Dr. Duzem groaned, pulling a pair of straight-legged gold-rimmed glasses from his pocket and snapping them on the bridge of his nose.

Zheng Qing noticed that the slender metal chain hanging from the temples had drilled down his ear holes.

Like a swimming snake.

It looks a little scary.

Jiang Yu didn't seem to notice this detail, but directly lifted the towel that was covered by the mouth of the cardboard box.

The doctor looked through the thin lenses and the faint light outside the window to carefully examine the little life in the box.

"Oh, it's a group of green elves. Dr. Duzem's tone was a little disappointed.

To be precise, he felt that it was a waste of time.

For most wizards, these little creatures that are active in all corners of life seem to be no different from air and trees, important, but not so important.

There's no need to waste so much time on a bunch of elves.

There is no need to find an alchemist like yourself to deal with these trivial matters.

He shook his head slightly and did not continue to speak.

Since he has promised others, he will naturally not break his promise.

The doctor took out a pair of golden silkworm skin gloves from the toolbox on the table, put them on, then took out a pair of trumpet tweezers and capillary probes, and helped a sleeping elf out of the box, placed it in a silver tray, and began to do the basic examination.

The elf didn't care about the cold instruments poking around her, and she still couldn't sleep.

Zheng Qing had an astringent feeling in his heart.

Dr. Duzem examined it and analyzed it in a low voice:

"The standard model of the green elf, no obvious signs of transformation. ”

"No signs of magical damage, no physical damage, no rancid or discoloration. ”

"The skin is clean, no odor is noted, the body temperature is low but within the normal fluctuation range, the pupils are not dilated, and the breath is uniform. There were no abnormalities in overall vital signs. ”

"It's not a plague. ”

"There were no obvious external injuries either. ”

Checking this, the doctor raised his head, glanced at Jiang Yu with a strange look, and then lowered his head again, and muttered while inspecting: "There is obvious aging in the corners of the eyes, and I can't sleep soundly...... This is a group of elves who have lost their owners. ”

After some examination, Dr. Duzem looked at the two guests with great certainty:

"The nasolabial folds are three points deep, and the eyeballs have a clear conditioned reflex to bright light...... It can be judged that the host has been dead for less than a month, perhaps less than two weeks. And it is an unnatural death. ”

Zheng Qing was extremely surprised, nodded quickly, and recognized the doctor's judgment.

Jiang Yu walked away a little bored.

In her opinion, these judgments and contents are fundamental work for the doctor.

An elaborate birdcage hung by the window, and in the cage a pale yellow, fluffy bird was napping on the bird rack.

Jiang Yu flexed his fingers and flicked the birdcage lightly.

"Ding, ding!"

The little yellow finch opened its small black bean eyes, looked at the beauty in front of her, blinked, opened her mouth and sang happily: "I have a pair of small wings, I am not fat at all, and I have been very busy every morning when I get up and chirp......"

Dr. Duzem looked up disapprovingly and glanced at the little yellow bird.

The little yellow bird obediently closed its mouth, changed directions, and continued to nap.

Jiang Yu raised his head with interest, as if he wanted to ask something.

But when he saw the doctor who was busy, he closed his mouth again.

"How is it? Is there any salvation?" Zheng Qing looked at the doctor eagerly, holding his breath and praying secretly.

"Yes and no. Dr. Duzem nodded first, then shook his head, and said a conclusion that surprised Zheng Qing.

"Can you save it?" his voice trembled a little: "How can you save it?"

Dr. Duzem gave him a curious look, wondering why the young wizard cared so much about a group of green elves.

In his opinion, this may be a special fetish of young wizards.

In the wizarding world, elves are very inferior creatures, and they are not even recognized as intelligent beings by the Witch League.

And the green elves are also the lowest among the elf species.

They don't have the gift of a blue elf's nirvana, nor do they have the gorgeous appearance of a white or golden elf.

Their only advantage is that they have a lot.

It's also cheap.

"For wizards, nothing in the world is impossible. Dr. Duzem looked gently at the young man in front of him and admonished, "The only difference is the price. ”

"The price. Zheng Qing muttered.

"There are many ways to save these elves, but strictly speaking, none of them are cost-effective. Dr. Duzem counted on his fingers: "Not to mention those potions or magic that bring the dead back to life and reverse yin and yang, there are many ways to restore these elves simply within your means. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Yu.

"For example, if you ask a senior professor from Atlas Academy to perform the 'Great Blessing Technique', according to the price of a few years ago, about 1,000 to 2,000 jade coins can be applied...... If you pay a little more for the rush fee, maybe these elves will be able to open their eyes and sing happily in your ears tonight. ”

Zheng Qing laughed dryly, but didn't dare to pick up the stubble.

Just kidding, don't talk about the rush fee, even if it is a thousand jade coins, he doesn't know where to raise it.

Perhaps Dr. Duzem thought that the friends of the eldest lady of the Chiang family were as rich as that eldest lady.

"Or, buy a 'Demon Contract' from a wandering wizard, the price is not too expensive, and a hundred or so jade coins can buy a contract written by a demon lord with enough strength. The only problem is that you don't know what these demons are going to take away from you. Maybe it's part soul, maybe it's part body, and of course, they like to pull a wizard into the abyss of depravity...... You know the wandering wizard, the owner of the wandering bar. ”

Zheng Qing nodded again and again: "Know, know, I have his family's gold card." ”

"That's simpler, you should know what he's capable of...... And the price is estimated to be cheaper. Dr. Duzem looked at the humble young man in astonishment, "Why didn't you go to the wandering wizard to help you first? ”

"Everybody says he's a dark wizard. Zheng Qing sighed for a long time, and finally admitted: "My friends advised me not to make a deal with him." ”

"You well-behaved children raised in your family have one or another taboo about dealing with wandering wizards. The doctor nodded knowingly, then shook his head: "Pedantic." ”

"Is there any other way?" Jiang Yu obviously didn't like the second method, and asked.

"If the symptoms are not the root cause, there are more options. The doctor simply did not elaborate on them one by one, but only briefly introduced: "The mist wine brewed from the volatiles of the Nine Turns Jindan, the soaking liquid of the Sage's Stone, and the royal jelly of the sand time...... can extend the life of these elves for a short time. However, depending on the dosage used, the life extension time is different. Maybe a year and a half, maybe only a month or two, or even less. If you don't mind, I've got a way to keep these elves of yours awake for a week or two......"

"Doctor, your eyes!" Jiang Yu suddenly exclaimed.

Zheng Qing raised his head and was horrified to find that two lines of bloody tears were slowly flowing from Dr. Duzem's eyes.
