Chapter 766 Chapter764 Zu An’s Glimmer
After living comfortably in the Moonlight Tavern for two days, Lester brought the two sisters to the entrance of the tavern and greeted Fander.
"Violet, Blast, Fandel will be your caregiver from now on. Fandel, you don't need me to introduce these two little guys to you, right?"
Glancing softly at the Violet sisters, Fandel nodded to Lester.
"Um...can I still bring Bakuba here with me in the future?"
When parting, Wei Aolai actually felt a little reluctant to leave, and he didn't know if it was because he was reluctant to part with the food in the Moonlight Tavern.
Noticing the expressions on Violet and Explosive, Lester smiled slightly and pointed at the Zaun in the tavern.
"Of course you can, but you are no longer my distinguished guests, you cannot go to the second floor, and you cannot receive any special services.
In other words, from now on, your status is no different from other Zaans here... Okay, let's go quickly. If you need anything in the future, just ask Fander. "
After saying that, Lester went to the second floor of the tavern without looking back. Witnessing this scene, Wei Aolai found himself a little sad.
In the awkward feeling, Wei Aolai understood what it meant to be worried about gains and losses.
Looking at Wei Aolai and Baobao who were reluctant to leave, Fandel on the side was a little amused.
"Don't think about it. His origin and status are beyond the reach of us Zaun people. It is basically impossible to meet him here.
Speaking of which, I'm afraid you two are the first Zaun people to go up to the second floor of the Moonlight Tavern.
Come on, our home is Fulgen's Tavern, not far from here. I have made a room for you, and the beds are all new. "
Following Fandel, Wei Aolai didn't speak, but Bao Bao, who had always lowered his head, spoke.
"But that big brother said he would support us for the rest of our lives."
"How is it possible? If he wants to raise you, there is no way he would come to me."
Noticing that Bao Bao and Wei Aolai didn't seem to be pretending to be serious, Fandel was speechless.
"So, is it true? Since he is willing to take you in, why don't you stay?"
He secretly glanced at his sister and whispered softly.
"My sister wanted to leave. She said we would not be free if we stayed, so my brother said he would help us find a caregiver."
Fandel finally stopped and sighed, feeling sincerely regretful. Obviously, Violet's choice caused the two sisters to miss the opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
"No wonder Mr. Lister said that just now...
You are such a stupid boy, you are the freest if you stay with him. You have no idea what you are rejecting...Forget it, it is useless to say this now. With Mr. List's pride, such an invitation will only appear once. , stop thinking about that from now on, I will raise you up. "
"Fander, can't we regain his recognition through our own efforts?"
Violet, who was already somewhat regretful at this time, clenched his fists and looked at Fander stubbornly.
"Instead of accepting charity, you can stand by his side with your own will and efforts, can't you?"
"Okay, of course. After all, nothing is impossible in this world. It's just that this thing is a bit difficult. As for how big it is, kid, let me tell you this."
Fander pointed to the outline of the mountains on the north side of Piltover.
"The north of Piltover is the [Grand Barrier]. If you want to gain his recognition through hard work, it is no less than climbing over the Grand Barrier alone, passing through a large human restricted area, and reaching the Immortal Fortress."
"If I can do this, will he recognize me?"
Although the truth was too cruel, Fandel decided to use the truth to dispel Violai's unrealistic thoughts as soon as possible.
"If you can do this, maybe he will look at you one more time, child. No matter good or bad on the road of life, everyone has to be responsible for their own choices."
…
The eye was finally rotten, it was so painful and itchy that it made people crazy and wanted to yank it out of the eye socket.
Hilko got up from the bed, turned on the light, and pulled off the bandage wrapped around his left eye.
Under the dim light, Hilko could clearly see that the bandage covered with green herbs was full of disgusting yellow-brown pus... What was flowing out of his left eye was not tears at all!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Hilko came to the mirror frantically, stretched out the fingers of his right hand to explore his left eye, which was like a rotten grape, and gritted his teeth and got closer.
"I'm going to dig you out! You oozing and corrupt thing! I'm going to dig you out! I'm going to crush you! Don't think I can't live without you!"
The moment his fingertips touched his eyeballs, severe pain came from his eye sockets, and his fragile courage collapsed. Hilko screamed and retracted his hand, sweeping the contents of the cabinet to the ground and smashing them into pieces. fall.
"Can't keep it, can't keep it, it must be dug out, it must be dug out... Someone! Someone, please help me dig out this abominable eye!"
Hilko fell to the ground, and the noise finally attracted other insomniacs in the factory. Pushing open the door, Xingid came to the struggling Hilko with a syringe with a serious face, and injected the sedative. On Hilko's arm.
Under the influence of sedatives, covered in sweat and almost exhausted, Hilko finally regained some sense.
"Hilko, besides digging it up, there may be another possibility."
Supported by Singed, Hilko lay back on the bed, his hands and feet still shaking unconsciously, and his wide-open right eye stared at Singed.
Knowing that Hilko was listening silently, Xinged explained unhurriedly.
"The concentrated solution extracted from the purple lichen has undergone certain changes after being injected into the organisms. Last night, I tried to extract, purify and dilute it a second time from the experimental organisms. I found that the alchemical solution had a negative effect on the organisms. The mutagenicity of the body was weakened a lot. At the same time, the new solution also showed weak growth-promoting properties.
I severed the lower limb of the experimental mouse and injected the experimental drug into the body of the experimental mouse. Although there were some abnormal reactions, the broken leg of the mouse healed up and it could even walk normally...
Hilko, I'm just making a suggestion, it's up to you whether you want to try using alchemy potion instead of gouging your eyes. "
"Come……"
Hilko gritted his teeth and spit out one word. In this word, Singed felt the courage to break the boat.
It seems that the pain of bad eyes is more excruciating than imagined.
"Wait a mininute."
Singed left the room, took a tube of alchemical solution that exuded lavender fluorescence, carefully extracted two milliliters with a syringe, and tied Hilko's limbs to the strong bed legs with belts.
"In order to prevent you from hurting yourself when you struggle, relax, Hilko, try to open your eyes, relax, I won't stab your eyes with the needle, just drop a few drops of alchemy liquid."
Under Singed's guidance, Hilko struggled to overcome the instinct to close his eyes and allowed the metal needle of the syringe to be pointed at his eyes.
As Singed pushed the piston, the sharp metal needle squeezed out a drop of dark purple liquid, hitting Hilko's rotten and pus-filled left eye.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Severe pain that even sedatives couldn't suppress came from his eyes. Hilko hit the bed board with his body again and again. Singed stared at Hilko's suddenly widened left eye without blinking, with drops of water dripping from his forehead. A few drops of cold sweat.
"The eyeball tissue is hardened, and the alchemical solution is eroding the left side of the face. The concentration is still too high, and a neutralizing solution is needed."
He ran away without looking back, and by the time Singed came back to the bedside with the neutralizing fluid, Hilko had already fainted.
Use a syringe to drop the neutralizing liquid on Hilko's left eye. The lesions on Hilko's left face were finally contained, and the purple capillaries shrank again.
"Did you make it?"
…
By the time Hilko regained consciousness, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Acidic water was secreted from his hungry belly, forcing Hilko to open his eyes and try to overcome the desire in his body to eat himself.
"How is this going?"
The chaotic visual images made Hilko instinctively close his eyes, but he found that he could only close his right eye. His left eye did not obey the command at all and remained wide open, projecting an extremely weak purple light into his mind.
In the world of his left eye, his room was like a dark dark room. Only the faint purple light allowed Hilko to vaguely distinguish the general direction.
"My eyes... don't hurt anymore."
Coming to the mirror, Hilko opened his right eye and fixed his gaze on his left eye - no more pus, no more pain and itching, hard eyes like obsidian, and bright eyes like a volcanic eruption. Orange pupils.
It's almost like the eyes of a cold-blooded animal.
"Something happened to the eyes."
Hilko tried to tap his eyeball with his left index finger, and was surprised to find that the eyeball was as hard as a stone, and he couldn't feel anything. However, he could move this strange stone eyeball, and the orange pupils also shrank under his will. enlarge.
"Ah, you're awake."
While Hilko was studying the eyeballs, Singed walked into the room carrying a lunch box.
"Under the mutagenesis of the alchemical solution, your eyeballs seem to have undergone some special changes... Can you tell me how you feel?"
Hilko didn't say anything, he just opened the lunch box and stuffed something into his stomach.
Seeing this, Xingjid waited patiently for Hilko to eat.
"Hilko, can you see with your left eye now?"
After Hilko finished eating, Singed asked hesitantly.
"If my examination is correct, your left eye is more like a hard stone now."
"I can see it, but I can only see a faint purple light. It's not painful or itchy, but it's not under my control. I can't even close my eyes."
Hilko tapped his hard eyeballs with his fingers, gradually adapting to the strange feeling of a little purple in the normal world.
"But for me, the current situation is much better than directly digging out the eyeballs and plugging in fake eyes. It seems that the second-generation solution you developed does play some special roles."
Singed shook his head.
"It's not clear what the side effects are for a short period of time. It's best to wait and see for a few months.
I only thought of using this method because your condition was too serious. Otherwise, with the level of medical skills of the Zaun people, I'm really not sure if you could take other things with you when you lost your eyeball.
Having said that, I'm surprised that you're willing to take the risk to inject this thing. "
"As long as it doesn't affect my head, it's not a big deal."
Hilko pointed to his head.
"This thing is destined to become a miracle that changes Zaun. If I don't dare to use it, why should I let others use it?"
"Anyway, the current situation does look good. Perhaps in subsequent experiments, I should focus on the exploration of the second-generation alchemical solution. Compared with the first-generation lichen solution, which is quite unstable, the second-generation alchemical solution is very unstable. The second generation is more suitable for use on organisms.
As long as the appropriate concentration is found and the neutralizing agent is prepared, the second-generation alchemical solution should be able to strengthen body functions in a targeted manner. "
"It's a bit unpleasant to always call it 'alchemical solution'. You haven't given it a name yet, right?"
Singed was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"If it doesn't have a name, let's call it [Glimmer]. Although the light is faint, it is enough to illuminate the entire Zu'an."
"Okay, let's call it Shimmer."
…
Shallow ditch area, outside Singed's alchemy laboratory,
Victor Dorrent, who had been squatting for four days in a row, finally waited for Singed, who had been delayed in coming.
"Why haven't you come here these days?"
"Some trouble happened, but fortunately judging from the results, it wasn't too bad."
Although he was a little curious about the troubles Singed said, Victor also knew that asking some questions would only make people annoying, especially since Singed seemed unwilling to say more.
It's no use asking, it's better to keep your mouth shut.
"How's Leo?"
"At least alive."
Singed gave a pretty bad answer,
When Singed opened the door to the alchemy laboratory, Victor followed him in on crutches.
In the middle of the laboratory, Leo, with his eyes closed, was still floating in the quartz cover, and his body was covered with catheters. At least Victor couldn't see any sign of being 'alive'.
"It seems that the alchemy potion you prepared is not very effective."
"To live is to have hope; to die is to have no hope at all."
Injecting low light into the biological isolation cover, Singed turned around and looked at the grown-up little boy with a somewhat complicated look.
"Victor, it seems that you came to me this time not just to know about Leo's situation."
With a wry smile, Victor slowly sat on the stool.
"I can't hide anything from you...Actually, I have passed the Yodel Academy exam and will leave tomorrow."
"So, you came to say goodbye to me?"
"Absolutely. You should know by looking at me like this that I can't run back and forth every two days."
Victor shook his crutch and sighed.
"To be honest, I still don't quite understand why you can't accept Leo's death... I mean, even if you make Leo look like this, you still have to hold Leo's breath, so why not let Leo sleep well? Sleep."
Turning around, Singed stopped looking at Victor and was busy with the experimental equipment in his hands alone.
"If something doesn't happen to you, you won't feel the same way."
"No matter what, Singed, you will always be my teacher."
Victor made a rare joke.
"Maybe after I graduate from the Yodel Academy, I can save Leo."
"Yes, no one can predict what will happen in the future."
