Section 1: Treatment

Mimilu's body is suspended in the sink liquid. From the outside, her eyes were closed, and her whole body was floating slightly up and down with the flow of fluid.

Her body was still split in half. Eshurufat had put all the parts of Mimilu's body in the sink as much as he could, but now Mimilu's body looked ...... Or a cavity. Motu's sword slashed through Mimilu's body, destroying a large amount of internal organs at the same time. This would have been a fatal wound that would never have been spared.

If it weren't for Carrie and this miraculous sink, Mimilu would have died a long time ago.

"Carrie!" Ashruphat whispered in his mind.

"Master?" replied Carrie immediately. "Is there anything I need to do?"

"How's it going?" asked Ashrufat. "Mimilu's situation. ”

"Well, let's put it this way. Mimilu's body has been hurt so badly that it has exceeded the limits of our current facility. Carrie replied. "If she had kept her alive in this way, she would probably have been able to hold on...... A year to two years or so. ”

"Is there no way to treat it? You said you can ...... any injury."

"I'm sorry, master, but that's my misnomer. Carrie obediently admitted. "But I want to say that Mimilu's injuries are beyond the limit. ”

Even Ashruphat had to admit it. In fact, he had seen soldiers on the battlefield whose abdominal cavity was cut open and their internal organs flowed out of the battlefield and finally survived (although this was akin to a miracle), but he had never seen a wounded with broken internal organs survive. And Mimilu's internal organs are not even "broken", but are about to be called "broken".

"A year or two later...... What will happen?" continued Ashrufat.

"Well, after this period of time, the nutrient liquid in the sink can no longer provide nutrients directly to Mimilu's body. When the time comes, the liquid must be replaced...... In the meantime, there must be a few minutes between draining the waste liquid and replacing it with a new one. And in between......" Carrie didn't continue.

"Mimilu will die, won't she?" asked Ashruphat softly.

"It's brutal, but it'...... That's it. Carrie replied. "As it stands, we can only ......"

Ashruphat suddenly realized the hesitation in Carrie's tone.

"Carrie, you know how to save Mimilu, right?"

"It's dangerous, master. I don't recommend you do it!" Carrie's voice fluttered. Ashrufat had known a long time ago that Carrie actually had no human feelings, but I have to say that all of Carrie's tones, expressions (when she showed her body), demeanor, etc., even if they were disguised, were very similar. And it's more like every time.

"Tell me what to do!" Ashrufat ordered in an indisputable tone.

"With the equipment we have so far, it is not enough to treat such a serious injury. Carrie replied. "But after hacking into the data system of the gods of the star field, I got a piece of information. Far away from us, to be specific, somewhere on another continent, there is an ancient portal. ”

"Portal?" Ashruphat asked. "Did the gods of the Star Fields do it?"

"It wasn't created by the gods of the Star Field, but it should come from ...... What else the Adventist is. Carrie replied. "That portal is abandoned, but there's a special chip on it! if I can get it, I can strengthen the Universal Healer. ”

"Abilities?"

"Yes, this is a flaw in the design of the universal therapy device. In fact, it is easy to understand that the diseases of the body are ever-changing, and the same symptoms are likely to be caused by completely different diseases, which naturally requires careful analysis, testing, adjustment, and finally recovery and healing. Pure injuries are actually very simple, and they don't even require special treatment, and they only need time to recover slowly. Therefore, the ability of the universal treatment device to treat injuries is relatively weak. But if I can get that chip, I can reverse that. I can even replicate my body at the cellular level......"

"I don't understand...... Isn't it easy to save Mimilu?"

"As long as you can get that chip, it's all a no-brainer!" said Carrie, a little excited.

"Another continent...... Across the ocean...... It's okay, don't I have a zombie dragon now? I can fly over in a zombie dragon!" Ashrufat thought to him. Indeed, a zombie dragon powered by black magic is never tired and does not need to rest as long as it is supplemented by dark magic energy. Even flying over the endless sea is only a matter of time. Even in terms of time, it's not too much of an issue.

"Master, I don't want to hit you, but ...... It's too dangerous to ride a zombie dragon!" Carrie replied. "The reason why you were able to travel around the Anthropocene as a traveler before was because both you and your Nightmare Pony could hide the aura of dark magic. And the zombie dragon is impossible to hide! The black magic energy on its body is too strong, and even magicians of the level can feel its presence. ”

"But I fly in the sky!"

"But you're not the only one who can fly. In her head, Carrie explained softly. "If nothing else, you've also heard that the Turanian people also have several battle dragons in the possession of the country, and there are also griffins and pegasus...... In short, you are not the only one who will fly. And no matter how fast the zombie dragon flies, it can't be faster than magic communication. Perhaps as soon as you fly out of the range of Sivania, the huge aura of dark magic energy carried by the zombie dragon will be noticed by others. And then...... Master...... You may soon find a whole bunch of enemies waiting for you in mid-air somewhere! Even if you don't fight and try to dodge, they'll use their magic to knock the zombie dragon down in the first place!"

Although a little uncomfortable, Ashrufat had to admit that Carrie's concerns were very reasonable.

"But I can go without crossing human land. Ashrufat thought for a moment and replied. "Anyway, Sivania is on the sea, so I can go directly to the sea. Straight from the sea, at most it's just a circle. Someone in the sea shouldn't be watching me, right?"

"Well, in fact I want to tell you...... The zombie dragon's body is not perfect enough to withstand long flights. Do you remember the place on the wing where the bone joins the epithelium?"

"You said it could be fixed!"

"It can be repaired, in my original plan, it will take about half a year to completely repair this small hidden danger little by little. You could have left this to your Dark Mage...... The problem now is that we don't have the time, so I think you'd better use the Nightmare Pony. ”

Ashrufat was silent. Mimilu only has one to two years to go...... For the following limits, it is only one year......

"Look at this!" a map appeared in front of Ashrufat's eyes. It was a vision that Carrie projected directly into his eyes, something that could only be seen by him.

"It's ......," he couldn't help but let out a slight exclamation. It's a perfect map—not so much a map as a drawing, like a painter standing very high in the air and depicting what he sees down on this map. When Ashrufat rode the zombie dragon before, he thought he was flying high enough to see the mountain peak the size of a building block, but compared to the angle from which he drew the map, he was really only a frog at the bottom of a well.

"This is the ...... of the world we're in," Carrie explained. "Of course, this map says that this is only a part of this world. ”

"We're here. With Carrie's words, a dot on the map flashed. "Sivania, your territory. ”

I have to honestly admit that on this map, Sivania is not much bigger than a piece of bird poop.

"The place we're going, this ancient portal, is here!" flashed another place on the map.

It was really a very distant place.

"The blue in the middle is the sea. Carrie continued. "The rest is land. You see, this is the territory of mankind, and this is the so-called 'Central Seven'...... This is the Stygia region...... Further north, along the border with Turan, is the land of the elves. And our target, which is here, is the land that belongs to the dark elves, who are a dangerous race. ”

The Dark Elfs are no strangers to the name. However, whether it is an elf or a dark elf, for ordinary humans, it is a very, very distant existence. Legend has it that the elves are arrogant, stubborn, conservative races, and the dark elves often appear as pirates and raid the coast. According to some books, the two elves are actually one race - they do not differ in blood, they just belong to different countries and worship different ideas. The elven kingdom is willing to live peacefully with humans and have trade with it, while the dark elven kingdom prefers to trade with the sword.

According to Carrie's explanation, and the map guide, the portal that Ashruphat is going to is actually a corner of the Dark Elf Land. To reach his destination, he must find a way through the land of the dark elves.

But it's not easy...... Well...... If the Dark Elves are truly as dangerous and cruel as the legend suggests, then they are definitely not hospitable hosts.

"Master, if you must want to go there, then I am willing to offer you a plan!" Carrie continued.

"First of all, you disguised yourself and set off from West Vania on a Nightmare Horse to reach Turan by day and night. This process takes about two or three months. ”

"On the shores of Turan, there are some ports for trade with the elves. Hop aboard a boat through the harbor and you will be able to reach the land of the elves. You can then disguise yourself as an elf – which only requires some temporary physical modification that won't affect you in any way – and find a way to hire a ship on elven soil to reach another continent...... You need to make a small circle and get to the nearest landing gate to the portal. There is no harbor here, it is a wild land, so there is no need to worry about the threat of the dark elves. Carrie explained in detail. "You disembark alone, you can make a circle on land, and although it is a long distance, you can avoid the threat of the dark elves. According to my calculations, you should be able to get there within a year. ”

"And then, you get the chip. I'm going to activate the anchor point and teleport you back to the castle. This is overloaded, meaning that your anchor point is completely scrapped and you lose the ability to 'return to the castle instantly'. ”

"It doesn't matter. As long as you can save Mimilu, it's nothing. Ashrufat replied.
