Cut a miniature incision, use the spreading forceps to prop up the musculature at the pouch, pinch out the foreign body, suture the wound, and order the mage to use the healing scroll.

These steps have long been in Bruno's mind.

However, at the moment of implementing the first step, he was a little constrained by unexpected problems - he forgot the fact that as a martial artist above the strong level, the toughness of his skin was not comparable to ordinary people!

The steel knife in his hand, which could easily slice through human skin without much effort, swam away from the dwarf's copper-colored skin several times, but only a trace of blood was cut.

Discovering this unexpected situation, Bruno was even more afraid to exert himself, and his wrist trembled a little.

Damn it!

Bruno's brows tightened suddenly, a trace of sweat oozed from his forehead, looking at the exposed belly, but he didn't continue to go under the knife.

"What's wrong?" Ronald, who was acting as an assistant on the side, also noticed that this atmosphere was wrong, and he looked up, only to find the unconfident gaze of his friend.

"Forget that this guy has great strength......" Bruno sighed a little frustratedly, and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead: "Although I can cut it, I'm worried that if I push too hard......"

The words didn't go on, but the meaning was self-evident.

Auckland, who was holding hot water, interjected with a big grin: "What are you afraid of!"

Bruno just looked back and smiled wryly.

As a doctor, after things deviated from his expectations, he couldn't ignore the life and death of the patient and continued to make rash moves.

"What then?" Oakland saw the doctor's expression and knew he didn't want to operate again.

The atmosphere in the small black room suddenly became a little silent.

The dwarf is a key figure in this event, and it is necessary to save him, but ......

Everyone also had a sad face.

"I'll do it. ”

Ronald suddenly volunteered.

"You?"

"I'll cut his skin, and you can fix the rest?" Ronald raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure?" said the doctor, still worried.

Ronald pointed to his right eye, which had been narrowed: "Don't worry, it's just a matter of cutting the surface skin......" He smiled and promised: "I promise, there will be no problems." ”

"Then ......" The doctor hesitated for a moment, then handed the steel knife to Ronald, and repeatedly admonished: "Be careful, if it doesn't work, give up, don't mess around." ”

Ronald smiled in response and took the steel knife.

He didn't rush to go under the knife, but tested the sharpness of the knife at the bedside. He found that with little force, the knife silently made a small cut in the oak bed.

"The material is good, huh?"

Hearing Ronald's praise, the doctor smiled proudly: "It was made by the most famous blacksmith in St. Paul, and it was made at a great price." Soon, his smiling expression became serious: "Are you sure? ”

Ronald didn't make a sound for the kind reminder in his ear, but smiled slightly and nodded. Then he sat down and focused his gaze on the dwarf's hairy belly.

He first squinted his eyes and breathed regularly several times, so that his heart rate became calm and stable.

As his right eyelid opened again, the dwarf's body cast a clear veined shadow in his true eye. Ronald fumbled with his left hand, avoiding the blood vessels and nerve networks in his line of sight, and finally determined the direction of the knife.

The doctor held his breath and watched nervously at it all. He found that Ronald quickly found the exact location of the knife.

That's his power, and he can easily see through the anatomy of the human body?

A series of questions surfaced in his mind one after another, arousing his strong desire for knowledge. Others may not know it very well, but as a doctor, Bruno knows very well in his heart that it took him several years to silently memorize the location of these human blood vessels! Moreover, he secretly went down to the cemetery to do such a disgraceful thing as a corpse thief!

He was originally in a somewhat ordinary mood, but he also became a little excited because of admiration and surprise. That wish, the wish buried deep in the most hidden place of his heart, was once again unearthed by him.

He trembled a little, hesitated, and didn't dare to peel back that layer-by-layer, thickly wrapped in desire.

"I'll leave the rest to you. ”

The doctor was shocked to find that in this short moment of stunnedness, Ronald actually cut open the epidermal tissue on the dwarf's belly!

His eyes bulged out, and he was very surprised.

"Hurry up, it's all starting to ooze blood. ”

Awakened by Ronald's urging, the doctor hurriedly took the handle of the knife handed by Ronald. His trembling wrists barely made it impossible for him to hold the weight of the hilt.

Call.

Sensing his gaffe, he immediately took a deep breath and forced himself into a state of composure. Years of training allowed him to hide the surprise and vision in his heart along with the hot breath that came out of his mouth.

After calming down, the next thing will naturally go very smoothly.

The gastric wall is incised, the forceps are dilated, the foreign body is pinched, and the wound is sutured.

He did all this in order, whispering instructions from time to time, and Ronald, who had been with the doctor for a while, still knew the purpose of those strange instruments. He followed the instructions to find the tools that the doctor needed, and methodically handed them over.

"Hot towels, tweezers!"

Time passed quickly, and the hot water in the basin that Oakland was holding had turned into blood.

"Alright. ”

After carefully pinching out the foreign body and placing it on the tray, the doctor did not care about the sweat on his head. He took out the crochet needle and carefully stitched the wound with a thread made of sheep intestine tanning, and then he was completely relieved, and at the same time exhaled a hot breath with satisfaction: "Kerry, the rest is up to you." ”

The mage, who had been quietly watching, immediately pulled the string that bound the scroll and channeled the magic through his spiritual consciousness. The milky white light cluster, under his guidance, quickly poured out of the scroll circle, poured into the wound where some blood was dripping, and began to moisturize the wound and condense the scar.

"Hmm. ”

During the entire operation, the dwarf, who had never made a sound, suddenly squeezed a muffled snort out of his nostrils.

"Seems to work!" said the doctor, agitated. He rolled the dwarf's eyelids and checked. Stimulated by the light, the dwarf's eyelids began to blink slightly, and some tears flowed.

Oakland yelled, "Oops, eyelids moved!"

"Don't make noise!" Bruno scolded in a low voice.

Like a boy who had done something wrong, Oakland stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, provoking a chuckle from the crowd.

"I'll take a look. After putting down the basin, he offered to make this suggestion.

The doctor just grabbed the green mass with tweezers and studied it carefully. "The outer skin used to wrap it seems to be made of the skin of some kind of animal's internal organs. ”

The mage leaned over with interest, "Really?"

"Cut it open?" the doctor looked around, asking for everyone's opinion.

Seeing the long-lost eager and exploratory gaze in his brown pupils, Ronald couldn't help but smile: "You're a doctor, you call the shots." ”

Naturally, everyone didn't have any opinions.

"Then I'll cut it? Spread out a little. ”

The doctor and the mage made eye contact, then took out the steel knife and prepared to do it.

Hearing this reminder, Ronald immediately remembered the acid corrosion at that time. He immediately stood up and walked briskly into the distance. Seeing Ronald's cautious move, everyone didn't know why, but they also followed the brisk walk with interest, and scattered three or four meters away, leaving only the mage and the doctor at the wooden table.

After the two made eye contact again, the doctor carefully cut open the foreign object.

Some green powder, along the gently sliced skin, leaked out. "It seems that this powder is the one who dyes the skin green. The doctor whispered, pulling the inside and pulling out the rest of the powder: "Kerry." ”

The prepared mage immediately took out a vial and a silver spoon, put all the powder into the vial, and carefully corked the bottle.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound broke the quiet atmosphere.

The mage's hand shook and he almost dropped the vial to the ground. Ronald's eyes were quick, and he immediately took a few steps forward to support the trembling emaciated body.

And now, their attention was also focused on the bed—a pale, slightly puffy dwarf struggling to sit up.

The dwarves woke up?

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect it to be so fast.

The dwarf didn't speak again, but unleashed a healing spell on himself. After discovering that it was redundant, he smiled bitterly and expressed his gratitude in an urn-like tone: "I didn't expect to be saved by the dark man." ”

This tone of thanks naturally did not win the favor of everyone.

"Lord Paladin, this is not the words of thanks for a dwarf known for his integrity. Victoria said coldly: "Without our help, I'm afraid you would have died in the claws of those strange birdmen." ”

The dwarf's eyes quickly darkened.

He sat there sullenly, with his head down, staring at his belly.

"Darkness does not equal evil. Ronald stopped Victoria with his eyes, and he whispered about the topic of his greatest concern at the moment: "Don't you mind telling us what you have been through? Species that shouldn't be there mean that someone is doing dirty research, and the Holy See is saying that they are strictly forbidden, right?"

"I'm not from the Holy See. The dwarf muttered, but he looked weak.

There was silence again.

But soon, the atmosphere was broken by the dwarf's initiative: "If you are interested......" He pursed his lips, and stopped talking.

"Forget it, there's nothing to say. Eventually, he sighed silently and struggled to get to his feet. And after staggering to his feet, he raised his right hand and made a reverent vow: "I, Paladin Neff, swear that I will repay you with a rich gift." ”

Auckland sneered: "What's the use of that empty oath?"

Paladin's expression was unusually solemn: "I swear by the glory of the paladins of the castles of Ashan!"

"Ahem. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help the feeling of exhaustion and weakness, clutched his aching stomach, and coughed loudly. "Ahem, ahem. The more he coughed, the worse it became, and the pain made his little eyes squint with tears.

Ronald waited for his breath to stabilize before he continued: "We point to knowing the secret hidden within that island, the secret of Turing's pride. ”

The dwarf looked up suddenly!

Ronald met that gaze with a righteous face: "Forbidden research, are you also involved?" Your Excellency the 'Dwarven Paladin'?" he deliberately accentuated his tone.

Paladin did not speak.

The two of them confronted each other like that, one tall and one short, and their eyes were full of the scorching smell of flames about to erupt. (To be continued.) )
