1177 Suspicious
Sent from the Land of the Tower, Villanika had left the Wizard Academy of the Red Wetlands on the condition that she would take a potion she had refined, promising to solve the problem of Mirusa's face.
Raymond still remembers that the blonde hair of Wizard Milusa had melted away after taking the potion, and she quickly regained her original appearance.
Thinking about the scene he saw back then, Raymond had doubts in his heart.
And Milusa, who was sitting next to Edgar's mentor, became a little unsteady the moment he said his question, and suddenly held her breath as if she was in an extremely low mood, and only after a moment did she sigh and say in a dejected manner. "Hey...... It was true that it was restored for a while, but the problems that arose after that could not be solved......"
The restless Milusa made Edgar's mentor beside him feel a little sorry, and held her hand to explain. "It's been so long, don't ...... like this"
Mirusa, who was holding Edgar's mentor's palm with her backhand, faced Edgar's affectionate gaze, but after a few moments, she started a fire in vain. "Old fellow!
Raymond was surprised by the sudden outburst.
And Mentor Edgar, who was leaning on the bed and being scratched and pinched by Milusa, kept smirking 'hehehe', neither refuting nor resisting, and letting Milusa vent, which finally made Raymond understand that this was a joke between the two, but he was worried in vain!
Raymond, who was no longer nervous, felt warmth and harmony in the drama between the two of them, and the smile on his face became more and more abundant.
Mentor Edgar, who had been cleaned up after a long time, finally sobered up completely, especially after seeing Raymond's expression, he couldn't help but blush, and coughed dryly to show Milusa.
Milusa, who has finished venting. Only then did the fog shadow spell that obscure her face be lifted, and Raymond saw her current appearance once again.
The left side of the face is as terrifying as a dried skeleton, while the right side is a delicate girl's face, but the eyes are extremely smart, containing a faint expectation wing.
Standing up, Raymond examined Milusa in detail, and during the inspection, he realized that this appearance was not caused by some kind of magical energy residue, but some strange creatures hidden under the shriveled skin on her left side!
Milusa, who was holding her breath, had been quite nervous, but Mentor Edgar, who was standing aside in pajamas, was even more nervous than Milusa, and whenever she saw Raymond's expression change, she would immediately ask why. This not only made Raymond speechless, but in the end, even Milusa couldn't bear it, and roared and forced him not to speak, so that Raymond's examination could be completed.
The left side is completely dry and the purple-black epidermis clings to the bones, in the area adjacent to the right side of the face. There is a very thin linear buffer band that completely separates Mirusa's appearance. They do not influence or interfere with each other.
Raymond, who manipulates his own perception to examine the left side of Milusa's face. After determining that there were many sleeping creatures hidden within the left side of the skeleton, he completely ruled out the possible cause of those evil spells, and thoroughly investigated the root cause of Mirusa's appearance.
"It's a tiny insect that sits inside a puppet, and its effect is to constantly absorb water and nutrients, making living creatures look like dried corpses......
After explaining the reason for the current situation to Milusa, Raymond was relieved. He was completely sure that he could get rid of these insects that had infiltrated his bones, but the origin of these insects was extremely strange, because he had only found them on a puppet like the Shadow Guardian, and this tiny insect could not survive after it was separated from that kind of puppet!
Maybe Raymond's expression was too harsh. Mirusa, who was already apprehensive, waited for a moment and saw that he was still pondering, and couldn't help but open her mouth timidly. "Raymond, what the hell is going on? Is there any hope?"
Raymond, who looked up, smiled at Milusa's timid expression. "It should be curable, but I've been thinking about the reason why the guide is like this just now......"
He let out a long sigh of relief, and shouted with some anger on the delicate half of Mirusan's delicate face that was beating in his chest. "You kid, scare me to death!
Mentor Edgar, who had been given a silencing order, also rushed over at this time, leaned over to Raymond's side and asked in a loud voice. "Really? Really? Can it really be restored to its original appearance?"
"It's not difficult, it's just a little longer," quickly answered Edgar's Mentor's question, and then Raymond turned to Milusa, and asked solemnly. "Can you tell me how you suffered such an injury, because this tiny worm lurking in your facial bones is extremely rare and difficult to find!"
"Tiny worms, how is this possible......"
Very surprised, the frowning Milusa thought for a moment before she began to tell.
Decades ago, when Milusa was just promoted to the official wizard, she followed her original mentor to garrison the karst defense line in the underworld, but while performing a very low-risk exploration mission, she encountered an extremely terrifying golem attack, although the puppet was finally repelled by Milusa's mentor, but both the master and apprentice suffered inexplicable injuries.
"The Mentor died shortly after returning to the station, and I didn't notice the damage at the time, until the second year of accepting the invitation to the Wizarding Academy of the Red Wetlands, and it was ...... that something unusual happened."
At this point, Mirusa's eyes lost focus, and her gaze went over Raymond's shoulder to the window, and her expression became a little sad. "I tried my best to keep the injury from spreading, but in the end, I was as ugly as I used to be, and it wasn't until the later use of Villanica's potion that I finally saw my old self again......"
Raymond, who listened carefully to Milusa's story, was shocked by the end.
This strange little insect can only be expelled with a special potion, but he remembers that when Veranika saw Mirusa's appearance, she was extremely happy to take out the potion, claiming that it could restore her to normal!
Raymond, who had doubts in his heart, asked. "And how long did it take to take the potion that Villanika gave me to become like this again?"
Edgar, who was standing on the sidelines, hurriedly replied. "Milusa had been asleep for half a year, and then a month after she woke up, she was in vain overnight!"
"A six-month delay, and then a sudden explosion overnight......"
Raymond, muttering and repeating to himself, immediately began to calculate.
This is a companion insect, and if you look at the information gathered so far, it is very suspicious that Villanika could have a special potion.
The first bottle of potion she gave was believed to have a certain effect of killing the insects, but the purpose of the subsequent bottles of potions that would cause them to fall asleep was probably to put Milusa into a state of sleep, so that the insects that had not been completely killed before could have time to recover and continue to reproduce!
Thinking of this, Raymond was even more awe-inspiring, if his guess was correct, then this Veranika was not only vicious, but she must be extremely familiar with the characteristics of this worm, so he thought for a moment before opening his mouth to the dazed Mirusa. "And after you became what you are, did anyone ask you how you felt, consciously or unconsciously, or did they show special concern for you in vain?"
Raymond's question made Mirusa very confused, but Mentor Edgar, who was standing beside her, was lost in thought, and after a long time, he was not sure to speak. "I remember that after the previous raid, a high-ranking wizard who came from the Land of the Tower to negotiate made a point to inquire about it and apologized for Veranica's failure to heal her......
