Chapter 21 Treatment Options

Inside the Great Hollow of Yuanzang Mountain, outside a makeshift hut.

Hercules was guarded outside the house like a god of a door, and Dongfang Yunfan, Dongfang Shuoyin, Medea and Elle were not allowed to approach.

Inside the house, Illya was lying on a simple stone bed, her body tense and her eyes uncertain, if it weren't for the group pet Dongfang Zijin by her side, I am afraid she would be even more nervous.

Asclepius was testing Illya's blood.

After adding some potions to the tube containing Illya's blood, Asclepius observed the changes in the fluid in the tube.

After a while, Asclepius said to Illya, "I have completed your medical examination, and you can go out." ”

"Hmm."

Illya silently walked outside, and when she got outside, she saw Hercules, who had been guarding the house.

With joy in his heart, he walked to Hercules' side and hugged Hercules' black and rocky hand with his white and tender hand.

Seeing that their master and servant were interacting there, Dongfang Yunfan and the others were very witty and did not come forward to disturb.

After interacting with Hercules for a while, Illya obediently waited outside the house for news from Asclepius.

When she first arrived here, Illya was discouraged by the underworld environment here.

If it weren't for Asclepius and Dongfang Shuoyin protecting her, she felt that she would have been torn apart by the underworld defense mechanism here, and that there were dragon tooth soldiers (summoned by Medea) and Garula Spirit (summoned by Elle), and Illyajue's own chances of survival were slim.

While waiting for the doctor's diagnosis, Illya peeked at Dongfang Yunfan and them.

A famous Greek witch, a peerless genius of the Orientals, and a goddess of the underworld of Medsoor.

This configuration alone can almost sweep the Holy Grail War, not to mention that there is an Oriental Yunfan next to it.

Although I don't know who Dongfang Yunfan is, Illya has already guessed most of it.

From Dongfang Yunfan's surname is Dongfang, calling Dongfang Shuoyin his mother, he can be entangled with the existence that forced Hercules away for half an hour without being defeated, and there are no wounds except for dirty spots on his body.

Illya guessed that Dongfang Yunfan's true identity should be the weapon itself in the final battle weapon of the Dongfang family, one of the biggest rumors in the magic world.

As for Dongfang Zijin, Illya has no news about her here at all.

"Could it be that she is also the final battle weapon of the Dongfang family?"

Judging from the fact that Dongfang Zijin also calls Dongfang Shuoyin his mother, Illya thinks that this is very likely.

Although Dongfang Zijin looks harmless to humans and animals. But her precious material is the same as Dongfang Yunfan; Her ingenious design is the same as that of Dongfang Yunfan; Her name for Dongfang Shuoyin is the same as Dongfang Yunfan.

That's right, Dongfang Zijin and Dongfang Yunfan are the final battle weapons of the Dongfang family, and they are definitely not team mascots that look harmless to humans and animals!

Unexpectedly, there was not only one weapon of the Dongfang family, but two.

Thinking of this, Illya looked at Dongfang Zijin with a nervous expression, only to see the latter looking at her innocently.

Did they send this weapon to me to warn me to be obedient?

Dongfang Yunfan sensed Illya's nervousness, only as if she was nervous about her diagnosis.

After all, the ancestors of the Dongfang family who wrote the program for Dongfang Yunfan back then could not have imagined that modern people's thinking was so active.

Hercules also sensed Illya's nervousness, and he half-crouched down behind Illya, using his body to give Illya a sense of security.

Sensing Hercules' movements, Illya didn't look at it directly, but she still felt a strong sense of security.

Little by little, time passed.

An hour later, Asclepius walked out of the hut.

Illya looked at the other party nervously and expectantly, expecting that the other party would save herself, and nervous whether she would be no longer saved.

Asclepius has seen such a look, every seriously ill patient or their family member has shown such an expression, in the face of such a look, Asclepius has never let them down.

He also does not allow himself to let his patients down.

"I can cure your disease."

This was Asclepius' first sentence to Illya, and he usually said it as he would, to give the patient hope of survival.

Hearing this, Illya's eyes had light, a surprise for life, and hope for life.

Asclepius had seen the light in the patient's eyes I don't know how many times, but he had never been impatient at that time.

In Illya's expectant gaze, Asclepius said what he said: "Speaking of your diagnosis, your body should have stopped developing a long time ago, because the whole body has been transformed into magic circuits, which has given you a high level of magical talent, but also caused your organs to fail quickly, and if nothing else, you will live for two more years at most." ”

"I can give you three treatment options."

Asclepius held up three fingers and said, "The first plan: open your body and operate on it, so that you can return to a normal physical state, so that you can have a normal lifespan, but this will affect your current magic ability." ”

Magic talent in exchange for longevity.

Illya took this to heart.

Asclepius then continued: "The second plan: I will prescribe you a potion to gradually delay and finally stop your organ failure. This option has the least risk, but it takes a long time, your body is severely modified, and you need to use drugs to improve your body. ”

It can keep the status quo, but for a long time.

Illya remembered.

Asclepius then stated his third plan: "The last one is the riskiest and the most thorough. ”

"What is it?"

"The third option is that."

As he spoke, Asclepius' hand pointed in one direction.

That direction is...... The Great Holy Grail!

"I checked your physical condition and found that your body is very suitable for making a holy grail container, if I can take out the core of the Great Holy Grail and install it in your body, I can use it to transform you into a humanoid Holy Grail, so that you can get rid of the birth, old age, sickness and death of ordinary people and achieve eternal life, and you can also obtain infinite magic, wish granting, and the ability to summon heroic spirits at will."

"Sounds great, but you're also saying it's the riskiest option, right?"

"That's right."

Asclepius affirmed: "The biggest pain in the treatment is how to make you merge with the core of the Holy Grail while still retaining a sense of self. ”

"So I'm at risk of losing myself?"

Illya asked.

"Yes, because you were transformed as part of the Great Grail in the beginning, fundamentally: it is not you who fuse the Grail, but who fuse you. During fusion, your body will automatically transform into a new shell by the core, but your sense of self will likely dissipate or be consumed by the core during the transformation. ”

"The probability of this happening is as high as 99 percent, and even if you are well prepared, the probability of your failure is still as high as 80 percent."

"The more important point is that even if you become the shell of the Grail core, your body is still your body, and from the moment your consciousness dies, your body will die together, and the core that merges with your body will inevitably be affected, and in the worst case it is possible that the core will be directly damaged."

"So, wouldn't it be nice not to use this plan?"

Dongfang Shuoyin said.

"It's useless, mother." Dongfang Yunfan said. "Do you know why Asclepius said that this plan was the most thorough?"

"Why?"

"Because, the magic ritual of the Holy Grail War continues, as long as the servants who are summoned in this Holy Grail War are defeated, their souls will be absorbed by Illya, and the ritual will continue to continue, even if the treatment is completed, her body will still become a Holy Grail, and her consciousness will be swallowed by the Great Holy Grail core."

"So, what about the destruction ritual? As far as our current personnel composition is concerned, the ritual is completely disrupted. ”

"It's useless."

Dongfang Yunfan gave the results of his calculations: "Those who attacked Illya also summoned additional Servants, and I haven't found the corresponding record from the Great Holy Grail yet. This means that the opponent can skip the Holy Grail and summon a large number of Servants, or simply make a Holy Grail themselves. Either way, the other side should have the ability to keep the Holy Grail War going. ”

"It's useless not to defeat the other side and just ruin the ritual."

The result of the calculation caused the scene to be silent for a while, and then Asclepius took the lead in breaking the scene and said: "No matter what, I will definitely cure you as a patient, and you are not allowed to give up on yourself until I say that you are not saved, understand?" ”

Hearing this, Illya smiled and said, "Although I want to live, I have never been afraid of death. ”

"Rest assured, Dr. Asclepius, I will follow your instructions."

"Hmm." Asclepius nodded.

"It's great if the patient is obedient."

Then he looked at Dongfang Yunfan and the others and said, "My plan has been given, now, are you willing to save her?" ”

Illya looked at Dongfang Yunfan and them nervously, she knew that she had only crossed paths with them today, they summoned the Great Holy Grail in advance, Illya could also guess the purpose of Dongfang Yunfan and the others, she didn't think that Dongfang Yunfan would give her the Holy Grail Core to save her life.

Just when Illya was thinking like this, Dongfang Yunfan and Dongfang Zijin looked at Dongfang Shuoyin and asked her to make up her mind.

Dongfang Shuoyin said without thinking: "Although the Holy Grail core is very important, it is true, but ......"

She looked at Dongfang Yunfan: "With the information Yunfan obtained, it's easy to copy a deteriorated version and take it to the Animsfia family." ”

"The specific situation still needs to be calculated, but if it is such a thing as getting a huge amount of property, it is still no problem." Dongfang Yunfan replied.

"And what if Marisbilly wants to do something else with the Holy Grail?"

"Then give him a hint in his heart that he only wants to take the money."

"Good idea, that's it."

During the conversation, the Oriental mother and son made Marisbilly's arrangement clear.

Listening to the conversation between Mother and Son in the East, Illya knew that they had decided to give up the Holy Grail to herself.

Medea said with a nonchalant face: "I also have the complete information of the Great Holy Grail, and I can make such a thing as the Holy Grail myself." ”

Elle came to Illya's side and said, "I am the mistress of the underworld, and although the Holy Grail is a treasure, it is worthless compared to the preciousness of life, so take it." ”

"Although I want to use it to recreate my resurrection pill, I still want to cure my patients more."

Hercules came behind Illya, his broad palm resting lightly on Illya's shoulder.

Illya looked back at Hercules and found that there was no fighting bully in his eyes, and his eyes were extraordinarily gentle, as if he were looking at his own daughter.

Although at the beginning, Dongfang Yunfan accepted Medea's request before setting off to help Illya and Hercules.

But now, all the servants present have given up the Holy Grail and the desire to place their hopes on the Holy Grail in order to give her a chance to live.

Illya's lips moved, and she didn't say anything, she knew that anything would be superfluous in this situation.

Just to help her, even if Illya and most of them had only known each other for less than a day.
