After two days of living comfortably in the Moonlight Tavern, Lester brought the two sisters to the door of the tavern and greeted Fandel.

"Vialet, burst, Fandel will be your caregiver in the future, Fandel, you shouldn't need me to introduce you to these two little guys, right?"

Glancing softly at the Viollet sisters, Fandel nodded to the Lessers.

"That...... Will I be able to come here with Explosion in the future? ”

At the time of parting, Wei Aolai was a little reluctant, and I don't know if he was reluctant to give up the food in the Moonlight Tavern.

Noticing the little expressions of Viore and Burst, Lester smiled slightly and pointed to the Zaun people in the tavern.

"Of course, but you are no longer my guests, you can't go up to the second floor, you can't get any special services,

In other words, from now on, your status is no different from that of other Zuans here...... Okay, let's go, just find Fandel if you need anything in the future. ”

After saying that, Lester went up to the second floor of the tavern without looking back, and seeing this scene, Violet found himself a little sad.

In the awkward feeling, Viola understood what it meant to 'gain and lose'.

looked at the reluctant Wei Ole and Explosion, but Fandel on the side was a little funny.

"Don't think about it, his origin and status are not at all something that we Zuan people can climb, and it is basically impossible to meet him here.

Speaking of which, I'm afraid you two are the first Zuan people to go up to the second floor of the Moonlight Tavern,

Let's go, our home is the Forgen Tavern, not far from here, and I've made room for you, and the beds are all new. ”

Following behind Vander, Violet didn't speak, but Explosion, who had been keeping his head down, spoke.

"However, that big brother said that he would support us for the rest of our lives."

"How is it possible, if he wants to raise you, he can't come to me at all."

Noticing that Explosion and Violet did not look serious, Fandel was speechless.

"So, is it true? If he is willing to take you in, why don't you stay? ”

Sneaking a glance at my sister, she whispered.

"It's my sister who wants to leave, and my sister said that staying is not free, so my brother said that he would help us find a caregiver."

Fandel finally stopped and sighed, feeling sincerely sorry for the two sisters who had chosen to make it to the skies.

"No wonder Mr. Liszt said that......

What a stupid boy, staying with him is the freest, you don't know what you have refused...... Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now, with Mr. Liszt's pride, that kind of invitation will only appear once, and then cut off the idea of that side, and I will raise you. ”

"Fandel, can't we regain his approval through our own efforts?"

At this time, Vialet, who had already regretted it a little, clenched his fists and looked at Fandel stubbornly.

"Isn't it okay to stand by his side instead of receiving alms, but by his own will and effort?"

"Okay, of course, after all, in this world, nothing is impossible, it's just that this thing is a little difficult, as for how big it is, kid, let me tell you this."

Fandel pointed to the outline of the mountains on the north side of Piltover.

"The northern part of Piltover is the [Great Barrier], and if you want to gain his approval through hard work, it is no less than going to climb over the Great Barrier, pass through a large area of human forbidden areas, and reach the Immortal Fortress."

"If I can do that, will he approve of me?"

Although the truth was too cruel, Van Del decided to use the truth to dispel Violet's unrealistic thoughts as soon as possible.

"If you can do that, maybe he will look at you more, child, whether it is good or bad on the road of life, everyone has to be responsible for their own choices to the end."

……

The eyes were finally rotten, painful and itchy, so maddening that they wanted to be pulled out of their sockets.

Hilco got out of bed, turned on the light, and ripped off the bandage that wrapped around his left eye.

In the dim light, Hilco could clearly see disgusting yellow-brown pus on the bandage covered with green herbs...... What came out of my left eye was not tears at all!

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! ”

Hilco frantically walked over to the mirror, stretched out the fingers of his right hand and probed into his left eye, which looked like rotten grapes, gritting his teeth and getting closer.

"I'm going to dig you out! You pus-stricken thing! I'm going to dig you out! Smash hard! Don't think I can't live without you! ”

The moment his fingertips touched his eyeballs, sharp pain came from his eye sockets, and his fragile courage crumbled, and Hilco screamed and retracted his hand, sweeping the contents of the cabinet to the ground, and fell to pieces.

"It can't be kept, it can't be kept, it has to be dug up, it has to be dug up...... Come! Who's going to help me gouge out this abominable eye! ”

Hilco fell to the ground, and the movement finally attracted the insomniacs of the other people in the factory, and when the door was opened, Singid came to the struggling Hilco with a syringe with a serious face, and slapped the tranquilizer on Hilco's arm.

Under the effect of the sedative, Hilco, who was sweating and almost collapsed, finally regained some sanity.

"Hilco, in fact, in addition to digging up, there may be another possibility."

Helped by Sinjid, Hilco lay back on the bed, his hands and feet still shaking unconsciously, and his wide right eye stared at Sinjid.

Knowing that Hilco was listening silently, Sinjid explained unhurriedly.

"The concentrate extracted from the purple light lichen has undergone some changes after the biological injection, and last night, I tried to re-extract, purify and dilute the experimental organisms, and I found that the alchemical solution has a lot less mutagenicity to the organism, and at the same time, the new solution also shows weak growth-promoting properties.

I cut off the lower limbs of the rat and injected the agent into the body of the rat, although there was some distortion, but the rat's broken leg was bridged, and it was even able to walk normally......

Hilco, I'm just suggesting whether to try using alchemy potions instead of gouging out your eyes, or decide for yourself. ”

"Come ......"

Hilco gritted his teeth and spat out a word, in which Sinjid felt the courage to break through.

It seems that the pain of rotten eyes is more torturous than imagined.

"Wait a minute."

Sinjid left the room, took a tube of alchemical solution that glowed with a lilac fluorescence, carefully drew two milliliters with a syringe, and tied Silco's limbs to the sturdy legs of the bed with a belt.

"In order to avoid hurting yourself while you are struggling, take it easy, Hilco, try to open your eyes, relax, I won't prick your eyes with that needle, just a few drops of alchemy."

Guided by Sinjid, Hilco struggled to overcome his instinct to close his eyes and let the metal needle of the syringe be aimed at his eyes.

As Sinjid pushed the piston, a sharp metal needle squeezed out a deep purple droplet, hitting Hilco's rotting and pus-draining left eye.

"Ahhh!!!hhh

A sharp pain that even a sedative could not suppress came from his eyes, and Hilco hit the bed board with his body again and again, while Singid stared at Hilco's suddenly widened left eye without blinking, and a few drops of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"The eyeball tissue is hardening, the alchemy solution is eroding the left side of the face, the concentration is still too high, and a neutralizing solution is needed."

He ran away without looking back, and by the time Sinjid returned to the bedside with the neutralizing liquid, Hilco had already fainted.

Using a syringe to drop the neutralizing solution on Hilco's left eye, the lesion on the left side of Hilco's face was finally contained, and the purple capillaries retracted again.

"Did it work?"

……

By the time Hilco regained consciousness, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and the acidic secretion of his hungry abdomen forced Hilco to open his eyes and try to overcome the desire in his body to eat him.

"What's going on?"

The distorted visual image made Hilco instinctively close his eyes, but he found that he could only close his right eye, and his left eye did not obey the command at all, still wide open, casting an extremely faint purple light in his mind.

In the world of his left eye, his room was like a dimly dim dark room, with only a faint purple glow that allowed Hilko to vaguely tell the general direction.

"My eyes...... It doesn't hurt anymore. ”

Arriving in front of the mirror, Hilco opened his right eye, fixed on his left eye—no more pus, no more painful and itchy, obsidian-like hard eyes, and bright orange pupils like volcanic eruptions.

It's like the eyes of a cold-blooded animal.

"There's been a change in the eyes."

Hilco tried to point his eyes with the index finger of his left hand, and found that the eyeballs were as hard as stones, and he didn't feel it, but he was able to turn this strange stone eyeball, and the orange pupils also contracted and dilated under his will.

"Ah, you're awake."

As Hilco studied his eyeballs, Sinjid walked into the room with his lunch box.

"Under the mutagenesis of the alchemy solution, there seems to be some special change in your eyeballs...... Can you tell me how you feel? ”

Hilco didn't speak, and directly opened the lunch box and stuffed something into his stomach.

Seeing this, Sinjid waited patiently for Hilco to eat.

"Hilco, can you see with your left eye now?"

When Hilco finished eating, Sinjid asked with a hesitant expression.

"If my examination is correct, your left eye is more like a hard rock now."

"I can see it, but I can only see a faint purple light, it doesn't hurt or itch, but it's not so much at my disposal, I can't even close my eyes."

Hilco tapped his hard eyeballs with his finger, gradually getting used to the weirdness of the normal world with a little purple.

"But for me, the current situation is much better than directly gouging out the eyeball plug and prosthetic eye, and it seems that the second-generation solution you developed did play some special role."

Sinjid shook his head.

"What side effects are not clear in a short period of time, it is better to observe for a few months.

I also thought of using this method because your situation was too serious, otherwise, with the medical skills of the Zu'an people, I'm really not sure if you can take other things with you when you lose your eyeballs.

Then again, I'm surprised that you're willing to take the risk of injecting this thing. ”

"As long as it doesn't affect my head, it's not a big problem."

Hilco gestured to his head.

"This thing is destined to become a miracle that will change Zu'an, if I dare not use it, why should I let others use it?"

"Anyway, the current situation does look good, maybe in the follow-up experiments, I should focus my research on the exploration of the second generation of alchemy solution, compared with the first generation of rather unstable lichen solution, the second generation is more suitable for living things,

As long as the right concentration is found and the neutralizer is concocted, the second-generation alchemy solution should be able to play a role in strengthening the body's functions in a targeted manner. ”

"It's a bit ugly to always call it 'alchemy solution', you haven't named it yet, have you?"

Sinjid was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"If you don't have a name, let's call it [Shimmer], although the light is small, it is enough to illuminate the entire Zu'an."

"Okay, it's called Shimmer."

……

Shallow ditch area, outside Sinjid's alchemy laboratory,

Victor Doronte, who had been squatting for four days in a row, finally waited for Sinjid, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Why haven't you been here these days?"

"There was some trouble, but the good thing is that it wasn't too bad in terms of the results."

Although he was a little curious about the troubles that Sinjid said, Victor also knew that some questions would only be annoying to ask, especially when Sinjid showed that he did not want to say more.

It's better to keep your mouth shut.

"How's Leo?"

"At least alive."

Sinjid gave a rather bad answer,

When Sinjid opened the door to the alchemy laboratory, Victor followed with a cane.

In the middle of the laboratory, Leo, with his eyes closed, was still floating in a quartz cover, and his body was full of catheters, at least Victor couldn't see any signs of 'living'.

"It seems that the alchemy potion you concocted doesn't seem to be working very well."

"To live is to hope, and to die there is no hope."

Injecting the glimmer into the biological isolation hood, Sinjid turned to look at the little boy who had grown up, his gaze a little complicated.

"Victor, it seems that you came to me this time more than just want to know about Leo's situation."

With a wry smile, Victor sat down slowly on his stool.

"I can't hide anything from you...... Actually, I've already passed the yodel academy exam, so I'll leave tomorrow. ”

"So, you're here to say goodbye to me?"

"Almost, if you look at me like this, you should know that I can't run back and forth in three days."

Victor shook his cane and sighed.

"To be honest, I still don't quite understand why you can't accept Leo's death...... I mean, even if you make Leo look like this, you have to hang Leo's breath, so it's better to let Leo sleep well. ”

Turning around, Singid stopped looking at Victor and was alone with the experimental equipment in his hand.

"If it doesn't happen to you, you don't always feel it."

"Anyway, Sinjid, you've always been my teacher."

Victor made a rare joke.

"Maybe after I graduate from the Yodel Academy of Sciences, I'll be able to save Leo."

"Yes, no one can say what will happen in the future."
