(387) A gamble of fate
With that, Crown Prince Constance Midknight laughed maniacally again, looking like he was enjoying himself.
Seeing his friend's eerie smile, William Einfoot took a few steps back uneasily;
"I'm not kidding, friend, you really should see a psychiatrist."
Konstanz calmed down a little and said:
"Don't worry, I'm sober, at least for now. But as long as I can explore the true meaning of everything in the universe, even if I really go crazy, it's nothing. ”
"Konstanz, your idea is quite dangerous."
"William, let me ask you, if a mad scientist were to stand in front of you, and he was going to use very strange and extremely gambling methods to save your lover, and you had to pay with your life for it, would you be willing to do that?"
William blurted out without even thinking about it: "Yes, I am willing to do anything for Edgar." ”
"Congratulations, William, you have once again proved your infatuation, I just lied to you, I don't need you to take the risk, because it is not your turn to make a move, I will risk my life to try to use this dark knowledge, after all, I am Edgar's own brother."
Beads of sweat broke out on William's forehead: "Damn! Are you really going to use black magic? ”
"Of course you have to try, William, you yourself have just done, and you are willing to try any method for the sake of Edgar."
"That's right, but I always feel that something is wrong, after all, it's not a good thing to have a relationship with Voodoo, maybe I should get out of here, although surgery is extremely risky, but it is more credible than witchcraft, please forgive me for taking my leave."
Seeing that William was leaving, Constance grabbed his friend's arm:
"Brother William, how did you become timid and conservative now? You've been on the battlefield, you should be a hundred times braver than me, a nerd.
Think about it, if I succeeded, I would not only save my sister's life, but also leave a mark on the history of science, and I, Konstanz Midknight, would become the greatest scientist of the early 18th century! ”
William Einfurt stood dumbfounded at the door of his study, looking at his old friend of high status yelling excitedly, and though he didn't want to believe it, he now felt that his friend had indeed gone mad, and not lightly.
"Constance, I really strongly recommend that you go to the psychiatrist, I should go back, the doctor's consultation should be over at this point, and I need to change the dressing for Edgar's wound."
Konstanz took his friend's hand again and whispered a word to him:
"Eyes."
William was a little confused: "Eyes? What do you mean? ”
"My poor sister, whose eyesight has been destroyed by the poisonous mist,
Think about it, William, even if she was exceptionally lucky enough to survive the operation, even if the royal physicians removed all the shrapnel from her body and successfully suppressed all the wound infections and later complications, have you ever thought about what to do with her eyes? ”
William Einfurt's heart was shocked, her mind was full of Edgar's big violet eyes, if she became blind, with her lively and active personality, it was really better to live than to die.
William's blue eyes stared at the wooden door, and he said with a gloomy expression:
"It doesn't matter if she becomes blind, as long as she survives, I will marry her, guide and support her for the rest of her life, I will read to her, my eyes are her eyes."
"Bang bang bang...... "Konstanz applauded:
"It's really touching, worthy of the man my sister has a crush on, but unfortunately this ending is not perfect enough, William, try my method, black witchcraft may be able to do what current medicine can't do, and find her light for my sister."
William shook his head: "That's impossible, the royal physician has done it, although Edgar's retina is intact, the optic nerve has been completely necrotic, and there is no possibility of recovery." When he said this, William's blue eyes were filled with tears.
"No, William, you're wrong, it's not that you can't do it, it's just that modern medicine is not developed enough, we need to be bold to try more radical methods, to try things that we can't understand yet, Soskaya's ancient black witchcraft is the only chance for this, a lively and lovely girl like Edgar is too pitiful to become blind, and life without vision is incomplete."
Constance took an old sheepskin scroll from a drawer, untied the leather rope, and laid it flat on the table:
"Look at this, William, the circle of contracts on this scroll is the medicine for bitterness.
There is a very obscure knowledge hidden in the mythology.,Although I can't fully understand the principle.,But I already know how to use it.,The opportunity to give my sister a new life is right around the corner.,Are you sure you don't want to try it? ”
William Einfurt clenched his fists, his heart was very entangled,
On the one hand, there is a very low success rate of surgical operations, and failure means death, and even if it is successful, it can lead to blindness.
On the other hand, there is the crazy looking crown prince and the dark sorcery he is passionate about, what if his is real? Do you want to gamble?
He rubbed his tired eyes, slapped the table hard, and said loudly:
"Hey, no matter, there's no time! I've decided, just use your damn crazy method!
I've pinned all my hopes on you, Constance, even if not for me, but for your sister! ”
"Nonsense! And then use you? She's my favorite sister! I'm willing to risk anything for my family's sake! I'm feeling hot now, and I'm not going to eat, so let's go. ”
Constance walked over to the hanger, put on his coat, stuffed the scroll into his pocket, and then took a strangely shaped knife from a drawer and handed it to William.
William took the knife and looked at it: "What kind of knife is this?" Looks like an antique. ”
"The sacrificial knife of the Voodoo Cult, Her Majesty the Mother Emperor killed a dragon knight and snatched the loot from his corpse, I stole this treasure from the loot warehouse in the war hall, and with this thing I can use the black magic recorded in the ancient books."
"Forget it, whatever it is, just use it! Let's go, my carriage is waiting at the door. ”
"Wait, there's an important sacrifice to bring." Konstanz opened the door to the study and summoned the head maid of the crown prince's bedchamber:
"Aunt Lisa, please call my maid. Let him lead the goat from my stable into the yard, the one I bought from the bazaar some time ago, and put it in Master William's carriage and take it away. ”
"As you wish, His Highness the Crown Prince." The head maid went out with a puzzled look on her face.
"What are you doing with goats? Are you going to have a barbecue party? William asked.
"Hehe, you'll know then, this guy is the protagonist of tonight's operation."
Five minutes later, William and Constance got into the carriage, and the strong stableman carried an adult goat to the luggage rack at the back of the carriage, and then tied it firmly with hemp rope, and the goat screamed in horror.
William covered his ears: "Damn! This brute is noisy to death, bleating endlessly! The guards will laugh at us. ”
The maid said, "Don't worry, adults, I'll shut up this guy,"
He took a fresh carrot from his pocket and fed it to the goat, and the bleating died down at once, and the goat began to chew on it with a wide open mouth, forgetting all about the tying up.
"Hey, well done, Big Billy, worthy of being the horsemaid of my womb, the brain is the light!"
Constance took out a silver coin from his trouser pocket and threw it to the stableman, "This is your reward, buy wine and drink it." ”
William commanded the driver of the carriage:
"Take me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Jinhu Palace Sanatorium!"
