1177 Doubt
Veronica, who was sent from the high tower, promised to solve the problem of Milusa's face on condition of taking a potion she made when she left the Red Marsh Wetland Wizard Academy.
Raymond still remembers that Milusa's golden hair melted away after taking the potion, and then she quickly recovered her original appearance.
Thinking about the scene he saw that year, Raymond was puzzled.
Milusa, who was sitting next to Edgar, became a little unstable the moment he asked the question. She suddenly held her breath as if she was in a very low mood. After a while, she sighed and said dejectedly. "Alas... I did recover for a period of time back then, but the problems that arose afterwards could not be solved..."
The uneasy Milusa made Edgar, who was beside her, feel a little sorry, and held her hand to comfort her. "It's been so long, don't be like this..."
Milosa, who held Edgar's hand with her backhand, got angry in vain after a moment in the face of Edgar's affectionate gaze. "Old man! Tell me! Do you think I can't recover to my original appearance!"
Raymond was very surprised by such sudden rage.
While Edgar, who was leaning on the bed and being scratched and pinched by Milosa, kept laughing foolishly. He neither refuted nor resisted, and let Milosa vent. This finally made Raymond realize that this was a joke between the two of them, and he was worried for nothing!
Raymond, who was no longer nervous, felt warmth and harmony in the joke between the two of them, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.
After a long time, Edgar, who was severely beaten, finally sobered up completely, especially after seeing Raymond's expression, his old face blushed, and he coughed dryly to signal Milosa.
Milusa, who had vented. Only then did the mist and shadow spell that covered her face disappear, allowing Raymond to see her current appearance again.
The left side of her face looked as horrible as a dried skeleton, while the right side was a beautiful girl's face, but the eyes were extremely lively, containing a faint expectation.
Raymond stood up and gave Milusa a detailed examination. During the examination, he found that this appearance was not caused by the residual energy of some magic, but some strange creatures were hidden under the shriveled skin on her left side!
Milusa, who held her breath, was very nervous, and Edgar, who was standing beside her in pajamas, was even more nervous than Milusa. As long as he saw Raymond's expression change, he would immediately ask the reason. This not only made Raymond speechless, but even Milusa couldn't stand it in the end. She roared and forced him not to speak, so that Raymond's examination could continue.
The purple-black epidermis on the left side was completely dried up and attached to the bones, in the area adjacent to the right side of the face. There is a very thin linear buffer zone that completely separates Milusa's appearance. They do not affect or interfere with each other.
Raymond controlled his own perception to examine Milusa's left face. After confirming that there were many sleeping tiny creatures hidden in her left bones, he completely ruled out the possible causes of those evil spells, and thoroughly investigated the root cause of Milusa's appearance.
"This is a tiny insect that exists in a certain puppet. The effect they have is to continuously absorb water and nutrients, making ** creatures become like mummies..."
After explaining the cause of Milusa's current situation, Raymond was relieved. He was fully confident that he could drive away these insects that penetrated into his bones, but the source of these insects seemed extremely strange, because he had only found this kind of insect on puppets like Shadow Guardian, and this tiny insect could not survive after leaving that kind of puppet!
Maybe Raymond's expression was too serious. Milusa, who was already worried, waited for a moment and saw that he was still in deep thought, so she couldn't help but speak timidly. "Raymond, what's going on? Is there any hope?"
Raymond raised his head and smiled at Milusa's timid expression. "It should be treatable, but I've been thinking about the cause of this..."
After a long sigh, Milusa's pretty face, which was beating on the chest, was filled with resentment, and she shouted angrily. "You scared me to death, kid! If it can be treated, why didn't you say it earlier!"
Teacher Edgar, who was ordered to silence, also rushed over at this time, approached Raymond and asked repeatedly. "Really? Really? Can you really restore your original appearance?"
"Recovery is not difficult, but it will take a little longer," Raymond quickly answered Teacher Edgar's question, and then turned to Milusa and asked solemnly. "Can you tell me how you got hurt? Because these tiny insects lurking in your facial bones are extremely rare and hard to find!"
"Tiny insects? How is that possible..."
Very surprised, Mirusa frowned and thought for a moment before she began to tell the story.
Decades ago, when Mirusa had just been promoted to a formal wizard, she followed her original mentor to garrison the karst defense line in the underground world. As a result, when she was carrying out an exploration mission with a very low risk, she encountered an extremely terrifying puppet attack. Although the puppet was eventually repelled by Mirusa's mentor, both the master and the apprentice suffered inexplicable injuries.
"The mentor died shortly after returning to the station, and I didn't realize that I had been harmed at that time. It wasn't until the second year when I accepted the invitation to come to Hongze Wetland Wizarding Academy that something abnormal happened..."
At this point, Milusa's eyes lost focus, and she looked over Raymond's shoulder to the window, her expression becoming a little sad. "I tried my best to prevent the injury from spreading, but in the end it turned me into the ugly appearance I had before. It wasn't until the use of Veranika's bottle of potion that I finally saw my original appearance again. …”
Raymond, who listened carefully to Milusa's story, felt his heart sink at the end.
This kind of strange, tiny insect can only be driven away by using special potions, but he remembered that when Veronica saw Milusa's appearance, she was extremely happy to take out the potion, claiming that it could make her Back to normal!
Raymond, who had doubts in his heart, asked immediately. "Then how long did it take to take the medicine given by Veranika before he looked like this again?"
Edgar, who was standing aside, rushed to answer. "Milusa slept for half a year, and then one month after she woke up, she became what she is today in vain!"
"The delay period was half a year, and then it suddenly broke out overnight..."
Raymond, who was mumbling to himself, immediately started calculating.
Based on the information collected so far, it seems very suspicious how Veranica could have a special potion for this kind of companion insect.
The first bottle of potion she gave was believed to have a certain effect in killing the insect, but the purpose of the subsequent bottle of potion that caused slumber was probably to put Milusa into a deep sleep. This will give the insects that have not been completely killed before time to recover and continue to reproduce!
Thinking of this, Raymond became even more awe-inspiring. If his guess was correct, then this Veranica was not only vicious, but she must also be extremely familiar with the characteristics of this insect. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he pointed at the confused expression. Milusa spoke. "Then after you became what you are now, did anyone ask you how you felt intentionally or unintentionally? Or did they show special concern for you in vain?"
Milusa was confused by Raymond's question, but Tutor Edgar, who was standing next to her, fell into deep thought and spoke uncertainly after a long time. "I remember that after the previous robbery, a high-level wizard who came from the Tower Land to negotiate specifically asked about this matter, and also apologized for Veronica's failure to heal her... …”(To be continued...)
