Big fish are bitten by "hooks".

Thor waved his hand and asked Algae to send him to the laboratory on the basement level, while he picked up the mushroom chair and walked to the lake.

"It's been a long time, Gaga Drum." He first said hello to his old acquaintance, and then looked at the new second-order wizard, "Hello." ”

"Hello." The second-order wizard on the opposite side also bowed his head in return, "Wizard Thor." ”

Thor secretly looked at this strange second-order wizard, the wizard robes on his body looked more complicated and solemn, not too much like the local clothing style of the Starter continent.

Gaga Drum hurriedly introduced Thor, "Wizard Thor, this is a second-order wizard, Lord Justin. He's coming for you, uh...... Uh......"

Gaga drummed and stopped.

Justin took the words of the Gaga drum and directly expressed his intentions, "I want to ask you to help me treat the injuries and pollution on my body. ”

"I have some research on cleaning up pollution, but Your Excellency is a second-order wizard after all, and my methods and methods may not be able to meet your needs."

"Also, I'm not very good at treating injuries. I think since you're a second-order wizard, you should be better at healing witchcraft than I am. ”

It hadn't opened for half a year, and Thor wanted to keep the new patient.

It's just that you have to explain your strength in advance, and you can't let the other party's expectations be too high, so as not to turn the business hostile.

"I've heard about your abilities, but my situation is really special."

Justin stopped in the middle of speaking, glancing sideways at Gaga Drum.

"Haha, the two adults will talk first, and I'll go to Hope's housekeeper to hand over the goods." Gaga is very intrigued and leaves on his own, leaving the space for Saul and Justin.

After Gaga left, Justin slowly took off his metal mask.

This man's face turned out to be sunken inward!

The bridge of the nose, which should have been high, was a little deeper than the eye socket. It was as if the entire bridge of the nose had been shaved off, and then a hammer had been slammed into the wound.

And in the deepest part of the nose depression, there are a few yellowish-green marks.

"I'm from the continent of Neflet and entered the Borderlands five years ago. To be precise, I escaped in. ”

Justin's voice was flat, and his eyes were blank, as if he was telling someone else's experience.

"I am a wanted person who has been cleared by the ruling court."

The tribunal, Saul had heard, but the order was cleared......

He thought of the wizard Jassim who killed two wizards with a black blade and then killed himself.

The other party is from the adjudication court.

Seeing the change in Thor's eyes, Justin knew that the other party had heard the name Inquisition.

"You don't have to worry about angering the tribunal by treating me. They don't enter the Borderlands, which is why I ventured into it. ”

Jassim's words are very informative.

The Inquisition Chamber will not enter the Borderlands.

Why?

There are no barriers or checkpoints, and even wizard apprentices and ordinary people can come and go as they please, as long as they don't encounter those fatal dangers.

It seems that this place is called Borderlands, not just because of its pollution and terrible rules, but for other reasons.

Justin paused for a moment, giving Thor plenty of time to think before continuing.

"I was wounded by the adjudicator of the court on the way to escape. A piece of metal solidification protection was almost destroyed. After I entered the Borderlands, my wounds were corroded by the contamination of the lands.

Over the past few years, I have tried my best to treat my injuries and curb pollution, but my body has quickly reached its limit, and if there is no way to solve it, I am afraid that I will not survive for a year. ”

I don't know if it's because of personality habits or despair, when it comes to his near life, Justin is still calm.

This made Thor admire his bearing.

Few people can feel the slow arrival of death so calm.

"Wizard Thor, your reputation has spread in this area, but to be honest, few people dare to come to you for treatment."

Thor touched his chin and readily admitted, "Indeed. ”

"To remove pollution is to expose one's weaknesses to others. Ordinary people don't come to you. ”

"That's right." Thor nodded.

However, his work as a doctor is just a cover, and if there are too many people looking for him, it will also be a trouble.

"But I'm different, I've tried all the methods I can try, and the rest are either too dangerous or have no way at all. So I came to you. This was probably my last attempt. ”

Thor didn't promise, "Can you show me your injuries and contamination first?" ”

"Yes, but I need some protection." Justin said it plainly.

Thor agreed.

As a result, Justin silently chanted the incantation, and a golden liquid of metal appeared beneath his feet.

The liquid extends around the feet of the two men to form a regular triangle, and then grows diagonally upwards from each side, eventually forming a closed tetrahedron.

Thor was watching Justin's magic fluctuations as he cast his sorcery from beginning to end.

He found that the other party's spell casting technique was thick and smooth, but there was a trace of tremor and uneasiness hidden in the fluctuation of his magic power, which was as worrying as an anthill in a dam.

Thor then stepped forward to check on Justin's injuries, but the latter suddenly turned around and sat down on the ground.

Then, he slowly lifted the scalp at the back of his head.

There was a screeching sound like taping being torn.

Thor tried to calm himself up and look more professional.

The skin on the back of Justin's head is a fake skin that has been treated with witchcraft. The back of his head and all the way down to his neck were made of metal.

Not Klee's metallic skin, but really hard, cold metal.

But this metal, which was supposed to be smooth and shiny, had a thick layer of yellow-green impurities.

The shape is irregular and the surface is rough.

Thor pulled out a glass rod and swept it lightly, and saw some small pieces falling.

He hurriedly caught it with a petri dish.

"If you don't mind, can I do a little bit of a simple test of these first?"

"Of course." Justin raised his hand, his nails turned into a sharp knife like metal, and took matters into his own hands, cutting off a piece of metal with impurities on Thor.

Thor noticed that the metal behind the other party's head was still metal, and it was unknown if there was still traditional flesh and blood.

These newly exposed layers of metal are smooth and bright, but after a few seconds of exposure to the air, they begin to develop some dull colors on them, and soon change to the familiar yellow-green color.

The surface also starts to get rough.

Thor compared the petri dish with the newly grown substance on the other side's head, which looked like the same kind on the outside.

"It's like the metal is rusty." Saul said.

Justin put his scalp back on, then stood up, still with his back to Thor.

"Yes, I majored in metallic sorcery. You use the word rust to describe it as actually very vivid. I'm just rusting fast, non-stop, and repeatedly. And this phenomenon has spread from the original nose to my entire skull. ”

When he turned his back to Thor, Justin's eyes showed a slight vulnerability.

But when he turned around, the slightest fragility in his eyes was tightly concealed.

Thor didn't stare at Justin anymore.

He had already begun to look down at the properties of the matter in the petri dish.

He could already see that this wizard, who was calm and calm on the surface, was actually very proud in his heart.

Although he is brave enough to expose his most vulnerable side, he refuses to show even a little psychological vulnerability.

That being the case, Thor naturally had to politely avoid it.
