Ivan was not accepted. Baruch went for a drink and invited Surdak to Darcy. Miss Christie stood in the street and chatted for a while.

The weather is relatively cold, let a young lady wearing a noble court-style long skirt stand on the winter street, even the winter clothes will soon be shivering with cold, Darcy Christie casually chatted with Surdak, reminding him not to forget the training in the sword hall the afternoon after tomorrow, she will reserve a practice room in advance, and then beckoned Miss Hoyle and Ivan who are tired of being next to her. The knight of Baruch boarded the carriage.

Darcy. Christie instructed the coachman to continue his journey, and the coachman, tucked into his fur coat, hurried the carriage along.

Surdak waved his hand at the three young men, said something he would never forget, and watched them leave in the carriage.

……

Two days later, in the morning, Surdak woke up from his dream while lying in bed only to feel a sharp pain in his right calf.

Crawling out of the bed and cutting the hemostatic bandage that wrapped the wound, Surdak was shocked to find that the wound, which seemed to be about to heal, had actually returned to its original state. The blood hole around was slowly festering, and it was unthinkable that even the power of the Holy Light could not heal this wound, and the Divine Blessed Body could only temporarily suppress the wound and not continue to deteriorate, once the blessing effect disappeared, the wound deteriorated rapidly, and Surdak finally realized that this matter was a bit troublesome.

Although there are still eleven sacrifices such as sand wolf heads in the magic fanny pack, these sacrifices cannot be expected to heal the leg wound.

He redressed the wound, washed his face casually in the dormitory, asked Assistant Teacher Paplor for leave, and limped out of the academy.

The fallen leaves on the street were cleaned very clean, and walked along the long street towards the Magic Union, and from time to time there would be empty carriages coming over along the way, and they came forward to ask Surdak if they needed to rent a magic caravan, and they were politely refused, the distance between the Knight Academy and the Magic Union was not far, although it was a little inconvenient to walk, but it was definitely not to the point where it could not walk.

Walking into the hall on the first floor of the Magic Tower, with the help of the waitress at the front desk, Lance hurried out of the research room wearing a magic robe, and asked Surdak with a look of surprise, "Surdak, have you changed your mind?" ”

Surdak sat in the waiting area of the hall on the first floor, and when he saw Lance with an excited face, he waved his hand a little awkwardly and explained, "Oh, no! I need your help this time, didn't you say last time you knew a magician who is proficient in human anatomy, and can help me look at my leg injury, I want to meet him, the power of the Holy Light seems to be useless. ”

"Oh my God, it's been almost two weeks, how did you get to this point?" Lance looked at Surdak a little speechless and said, "I'll go see Scholar Ferdinand right away, you come with me." ”

Lance immediately made a decision, pulled Surdak, and walked up the spiral staircase to the second floor of the Magic Guild, Surdak said with some scruples: "Lance, isn't this a little too abrupt?" ”

Lance waved his hand and comforted Surdak, "It's okay, Scholar Ferdinand is very easy-going. ”

As he walked along the spiral staircase, a magician came across the corridor, and Surdak quickly stopped and took the initiative to greet: "Hello, Magician Francis." ”

Magician Francis also looked surprised, he didn't expect to see Surdak, and hurriedly asked: "Knight Surdak, I haven't seen you for a long time, you got fresh meat from salamanders again?" ”

Standing in the hallway, Surdak said to Francis Magician, who was holding a tray of magic potions, "No, my friends and I came here to visit a magician. ”

Francis glanced at the tray in his hand, signaled to Surdak that he was going to leave immediately, and said very politely: "Then I still have something to do, and if you need help, you can come to me at any time." ”

Surdak hurriedly straightened his posture, gave a knightly salute to Magician Francis, and said, "Thank you, Magician Francis. ”

It wasn't until Magician Francis walked briskly into a laboratory with a tray that Lance said curiously beside Surdak: "So you still have acquaintances in the Magic Guild!" ”

"Wizard Francis, to be exact, is my client." Surdak explained.

The two walked side by side in the hallway, and there were always some magic apprentices hurrying over, looking very busy with them, and the whole magic union was filled with a tense atmosphere.

"Customer?" Lance couldn't understand the word and repeated it.

Surdak smiled and said, "I sometimes hunt salamanders in the mountains, and I will take the salamander meat to the city of Hylanza and sell it, and sometimes I will send some to the magician. ”

"Salamander, you're still a witcher?" Lance asked, with an incredulous expression.

If Surdak is a witcher, then Lance needs some troublesome procedures if he wants to cooperate with Surdak, mainly because the magic guild doesn't trust those witchers who have no position and only have magic crystals in their eyes, although the witcher guild is a relatively loose organization, but it undertakes various tasks like the mercenary guild, mainly hunting.

Surdak knew about the witcher, but he was only a reserve knight, so he said, "I'm not a witcher, I just happened to encounter salamanders twice in the mountains of Paglos. ”

“…… I have to say you're in luck. Lance said with some envy.

As a magician in the law enforcement group of the Magic Guild, he doesn't think that a salamander is anything difficult to deal with, he just thinks that Surdak is very lucky, not just a person who enters Paglos Mountain, will meet those salamanders that are difficult to hide, this kind of fire attribute magic beast, whether it is the leather on the body, or the fresh meat of the magic beast, is very popular with magicians.

The two walked to the door of a research room on the second floor of the spiral staircase, Lance stopped, straightened his collar outside the door, took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and asked inside, "Is Scholar Ferdinand there?" ”

The door was pushed open by a magician's assistant, who looked out from the inside, and said with a straight face, "The scholar is doing an experiment, if you have any business, it's best to come back tomorrow!" ”

Lance and Surdak looked at each other, they didn't expect to be rejected so happily, and just as they wanted to turn around and leave, they heard someone in the inner room say, "It's okay, Maggie, let them in!" ”

The magician's assistant looked at Surdak and Lance warily, pushed the door open, and flashed to the side for the two to enter the research room.

The research room is full of glass jars of all sizes, these glass jars are as big as a person, and the small ones are only the size of a fist, and they contain liquids of various colors, and the liquid is soaked in the organs of certain creatures, and the whole room is full of such glass jars, and the preliminary estimate is that there are at least a few hundred jars, and a magician with a naked upper body is sitting on the edge of the test bench, and is removing a piece of lizard skin from his shoulder, seeing that he doesn't feel pain at all, and the flesh is blurred, Lance hurriedly stepped forward, Hand over a piece of hemostatic gauze.

The magic assistant ran over and unfolded a hydrotherapy magic scroll, a flash of white light, and the wound on the mage's shoulder healed at a visible speed as the eye could see, while the pain made the mage grin and his face almost distorted.

After taking care of the wound on his shoulder, the magician put on the magic robe again, he had a large tattoo on his chest and abdomen, Surdak knew that those magic patterns were a kind of magic pattern that could be drawn on the body, and the Bakari swordsman said that his body was covered with burn scars, and I am afraid that there will be no way to imprint this magic pattern on his body in the future, which will greatly reduce the strength he has.

Unexpectedly, this Ferdinand scholar was actually doing some kind of experiment with his own body, and looking at the bloody scene, Surdak had to admire the courage of this Ferdinand scholar.

The magician was very approachable, and he invited Lance and Surdak to sit in the nearby lounge area, and asked very enthusiastically, "Oh, Lance, your vacation is not over yet?" ”

Lance said: "I was given the task of setting off the day after tomorrow. ”

Scholar Ferdinand nodded, and then asked, "I see, what are you looking for me?" ”

Lance pointed to Surdak beside him and said to Scholar Ferdinand, "This is my friend Knight Surdak, in fact, he is in a little trouble and wants to ask for your help. ”

Scholar Ferdinand gave Lance a lot of face, pointed at Lance, and said helplessly: "You're really looking for trouble!" ”

Then he asked Surdak with a serious face, "Knight Surdak, what can I do for you?" ”

Surdak quickly rolled up his loose trouser legs, revealing the bandaged leg inside, and said to Scholar Ferdinand, "There is a little wound on this leg, but it has never healed. ”

Scholar Ferdinand was not polite, and immediately approached Surdak, squatted beside his lap and said with a serious face, "Let me take a look at ......"

Surdak untied the bandage, the blood hole inside enlarged a little, almost the size of an egg, and the wounds around him festered again, and Scholar Ferdinand reached out to the magician's assistant beside him, who handed over a magic crystal on the test bench without prompting, and Scholar Ferdinand took the transparent triangular crystal and carefully swept it around Surdak's legs.

He frowned slightly, and carefully scraped a trace of festering flesh from the edge of the wound, placed it next to a magic crystal ball on the test bench, and then recited the incantation, only to see the flesh the size of a fingernail turn into a wisp of black flame and disappear in an instant.

Scholar Ferdinand's face became more serious, and he looked up at Surdak and asked, "How long has this wound been there?" ”

"It's been almost two weeks." Surdak replied.

Scholar Ferdinand continued, "Where was this wound inflicted?" ”

Seeing that Scholar Ferdinand's expression was a little serious, Lance hurriedly explained to Surdak beside him: "He is a knight in the guard barracks, and he was injured when he went out with me on a mission at Grenfell Manor last time. ”

With Lance's endorsement, Scholar Ferdinand nodded and said suddenly: "It turned out to be the dark magic of the Dark Arts Hermitage, which can be explained." ”

However, he asked Surdak curiously: "What did you use to keep it from getting worse, it is said that it is a miracle that this leg of yours has not completely rotted if it has not been treated for so long." ”

Surdak was stunned on the spot, he didn't expect his injury to be so serious, he thought it was just a burn that had not healed, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

"Wouldn't it, that serious?" Lance also had a long mouth, showing a surprised expression.

Scholar Ferdinand nodded and said: "This is not an ordinary wound, he has been cursed by black magic, if it was before, this kind of black magic curse is very easy to deal with, just go to the temple in Highlandsa City, find that priest can help you purify the curse, but now the temple in Highlandsa City has been completely closed, and the priest has disappeared two years ago, and it is really a big problem to remove this curse." ”

Then Scholar Ferdinand added, "But I want you to answer how you have slowed down the dark magic curse from eating into your body?" ”

Surdak hurriedly released a trace of divine aura, making a faint golden glow appear in the palm of his hand, explaining this from a magical point of view, this should be regarded as a magical element with a trace of divine attributes.

Surdak said, "They say I have mastered a little bit of divine magic. ”

Scholar Ferdinand looked at Surdak again, nodded at him, and said, "Oh...... No wonder this is the case, it is actually another warrior who has awakened the perception of magic, and the awakening is still a very rare divine attribute, I don't know how long it has been since the Grimm Empire has seen a paladin. ”

Lance interjected and asked, "Scholar Ferdinand, can you lift this curse of the dark arts?" ”

Scholar Ferdinand pondered for a moment before saying, "This ...... I don't know if I haven't tried it, my magic research doesn't involve the curse of black magic, but you can sense the magic element of the divine attribute, and the power of the holy light is just enough to restrain the black magic, maybe the answer to the curse of the dark magic...... It's on you, and you can't completely eliminate it right now because you're not strong enough. ”

"What should I do? Ferdinand Scholar. Surdak humbly asked for advice.

Scholar Ferdinand looked at Surdak and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This...... My method is to cut off your sword, and let the Dark Arts Curse throw it into the furnace with half of your leg and burn it together. And I'm sure I'll give you a new leg that can be used better, and of course, you can also choose some parts of the monster that are not human, such as the tentacles of a royal squid, or the hind legs of a demon antelope, which will make you run faster and jump higher......"

Surdak felt that the Fernand scholars were not joking.

He wanted to smile, but his face became a little stiff and he couldn't laugh.

"Is there no other way?"

"I can help you make some potions to help you keep your injuries from getting worse, but they should be of limited use. The only way to do so is to drag the leg injury on until you get stronger, so strong that the divine force can completely suppress it, or simply melt it away......," Scholar Ferdinand said to Surdak, "or you can find a priest in the temple and help you purify the curse......"
