Chapter 437: Stuck?

"Oh, we are here, there is no problem, come here and help." Following my call, Kristina immediately ran in with the children, but the huge trench blocked them all from the opposite side. .

"Is this the Gate of Hell? Why does it appear in a place like this?" Kristina glanced at the deep ditch in front of her and understood what it was.

In fact, the trench full of innocent souls is not an ordinary existence, but a kind of magic. The name of this magic is called Hell's Gate, but in fact it is not really a portal connected to hell. In fact, the real hell is not like this. This magic only formed a world similar to a demiplane based on people's guesses about hell, and then opened a passage between the two. Because the magic itself needs to open the door to space and support the existence of a demi-plane, its consumption is naturally very exaggerated. Generally, this kind of magic can only be sustained for a few seconds to more than ten seconds, and it cannot be maintained for any longer time. However, the door to hell in front of us has been open since we entered, and it seems that this thing has always been there. In other words, this is a permanent gate to hell. This kind of gate to hell is usually created using special methods rather than magic. Most of the half-planes inside are naturally formed, and the magic itself just uses a magic circle to open a stable channel. If you think about it this way, compared to the complete version of the Gate of Hell that needs to support the entire demiplane, the magic power needed to support just one space gate is much less. As long as there is a large-scale energy-gathering magic circle, the energy problem can basically be solved. .

"If you have time to study the Gate of Hell, why don't you come over and help me get this epic dragon out!" I saw Kristina being blocked by a large ditch, so I reminded her loudly.

Only then did Kristina realize that she still had something to do, so she quickly told the group eldest mother to tell the children not to get close to the gate of hell, and then she jumped over.

The distance of twenty meters is an insurmountable distance for ordinary people, but it is not a problem for Kristina. Who says people have wings?

"What do I want to do?" Kristina, who landed, looked at me who was busy and asked.

I pointed at the epic dragon and said, "First of all, let's see if we can do surgery to cut off the chains on his bones. That thing seems to be directly fixed on the bones. I don't know his current physique." Can you withstand this kind of cutting surgery?"

After all, Kristina is a mage and knows a little more about these things than I do, although she is not a professional medical professional. But it is still possible to use magic to stimulate vitality, but we are not sure whether this dragon still has vitality for us to activate.

After receiving the instruction, Kristina quickly ran to the epic dragon and looked at his neck, then poked the other person's wound with her finger, and then asked: "Can you feel the pain?"

The giant dragon shook his head and said, "I don't feel anything."

Kristina nodded and continued to ask: "What's your name?"

"Exels Subaru Sionegg."

"Okay, Axels. Now listen up. I have briefly checked the chains and wounds on your body, and the situation is not optimistic. These things have been in your body for too long, and the metal The ingredients have caused poisoning in your body. And because of the powerful vitality of the dragons, this poisoning did not kill you immediately. Instead, it began to spread over a large area. Have you noticed that your body is getting stiffer and stiffer recently, even if Doesn’t it hurt anymore if you’re injured?”

"This has been happening for decades."

"That's why I say the situation is very serious. Because your poison has spread throughout your body, your body has almost lost its ability to heal itself. In other words, all magical healing techniques are ineffective against you."

When he heard this, Axels did not react with any fear or frustration. Instead, he said very calmly: "You mean there is another way, right?"

Kristina didn't show off, and nodded directly: "Although the healing magic won't work on you, we can first use the expulsion magic to expel your body in a targeted manner, and remove all the various substances in your body. The metal toxin is set to expel the target and is gradually expelled. After that, some alchemy will be used to refine your body, that is, a certain amount of reinforcement work will be performed, and then normal healing techniques can be used for treatment. "

"So what's the difficulty in this?"

"There are three difficulties. The first one is yourself. Before we start to expel the metal toxins in your body, we must make sure that these shackles on your body have been removed. But the problem is that your body may not be able to hold on to such a A large area of ​​surgery was performed in many places. Even if the president's weapon has a law effect and the cutting speed is very fast and will not cause too many wounds, it still requires so many incisions on the body anyway. It’s a big hole. There must be some damage, and it won’t be too light. With your current physique..."

"Let me recuperate for a while after I go out. Proper nutrition and my self-cultivation will help me regain some physical fitness, right?"

"No, you don't understand your current situation. Your current situation is very bad, do you understand?" Kristina said seriously: "Metal toxins have begun to invade your internal system, which means that as time goes by, Your body will only get worse and worse. There will be no recovery, even with proper dietary supplements, there will be no improvement."

"What should we do?" Axels was really panicking now, because he knew before that there must be a solution when Kristina said that, but now it sounds like the problem is much more serious than imagined. .

"Actually, there is nothing we can do about this matter. Although your body has lost its self-healing ability due to poisoning, if we can use law-like abilities to temporarily put your body into a state of functional quiescence, then there will be no problem. .”

"Law?" When hearing the law, even an epic dragon like Axels began to beat his heart. "Are you sure something like that can be easily obtained?"

"Others may not be able to. But if we can grow horses, then there will be no problem." Kristina said, then turned to me and asked: "You think so, president?"

I thought for a moment and said, "There shouldn't be any problem. Your situation is easy to handle."

In fact, the reason why I have a way to solve the law problem is entirely because our guild manages the ring of commandments, so I can apply to use the ring of commandments to temporarily grant a certain law. Of course, because the Ring of Discipline is actually only managed by our guild and does not belong to our guild, there is a price to pay for its use. but. Of course, the price can be high or low. For a situation like Axels, what we need is to prevent him from having problems during the operation, so we only need a very short time limit, and this law only affects Axels itself, and does not It will not cover anyone else, so the scope is relatively small. For this kind of small-scale, short-term, minimal rule change, for my sake. Those gods probably won’t have trouble with me, so as long as I save my skin. It should be easy to obtain permission to use even without exchanging benefits.

Axels didn't know that we actually still had the Ring of Discipline, so when he heard that I confirmed that it could be done, he immediately became uneasy. However, this was a good thing after all, so he was not too surprised. Very excited that this problem can be solved.

After we determined that we could use the rules to temporarily ensure that Axels would not die during the operation, Kristina continued: "Then, if we use the rules for protection, we can skip the previous steps. The first step is to perform surgery directly, so that these fixed chains can be completely removed first. However, that is not all after the chains are removed, your problem still exists. Metal toxins have accumulated to a very high level in your body, even if you lose Without the chain as a source of toxins, the remaining metal components in your body are enough to kill you, and because of the poisoning effect, you have no ability to recover at all, and even treatment with divine magic will have no effect. .”

"Does that mean we have to use the steps you mentioned before?" Axels remembered what Kristina had just said before. You can use expulsion magic to expel metal toxins from your body.

Kristina nodded and said: "That's for sure. The expulsion magic can definitely expel the toxic metal elements in your body, but the problem is that there is not only one kind of toxic metal element in your body, so you only rely on one kind." Divine magic is impossible to complete. You need a priest or deity who can use advanced expulsion magic to expel you multiple times on the spot according to your situation. This process may take a little time, and this is what I say The second difficulty is that it is difficult to find gods who know advanced expulsion techniques. And they may not be willing to help you. As for the priests... although it is theoretically possible, I am worried that their power is not enough to support expulsion. Those metal toxins in your body, after all, you are a dragon, and your magic resistance is ridiculously high. Even divine magic has a very low effect on you. Unless the gods personally take action, the priest may not even be able to protect you against magic. Breakthrough, even if you don’t resist, it’s useless.”

"Are they gods?" Axels pondered for a while and said, "I do know a few gods. Maybe we can ask them to help introduce some gods who know advanced expulsion techniques."

"You don't have to worry about this. I think our president can help you with it." Kristina said.

I was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kristina and suddenly understood her intention. In fact, Kristina didn't really have no way to solve Axels' problem. The reason why she said this was probably because she wanted to recruit Axels into the club. Our guild already has an epic dragon, but who would have too many gold-medal thugs like the epic dragon? Kristina's rhetoric is nothing more than to make Axels think that we have done a lot for him. These are things that he could not have done on his own, but we have done it. In this case, on the one hand, we can show our muscles to him, that is, let him know that we are capable of doing such exaggerated things. On the other hand, this is also selling favors, because if we help with difficult things, he will naturally have to bear the favors. As long as we help him complete these things, if we express our intention to solicit again, I believe he will probably be embarrassed to refuse.

After understanding Kristina's intention, I immediately started to say: "The gods you know are probably unlikely to be able to contact the gods who know advanced expulsion techniques. You don't know the relationship between the major gods now." It is relatively tense, so gods rarely have contact with each other except those from one faction. As for the gods within this faction...it can be said that the chance is not great. After all, advanced expulsion is also a comparative skill among divine arts. It's useless magic because it's really not very useful. So many gods don't know it. Those who have really learned this kind of magic are some super gods who have too much time, but you probably can't hire that kind of god. Move?"

Axels was a little confident at first, but when we told him this, he immediately withered and didn't know how to continue. But we just wanted to let him know that our contribution was very huge, and we didn’t want to make him feel discouraged, so as soon as I saw the change in his expression, I immediately said: "But you don’t have to worry. I have relationships with the gods all over the world. It's all okay, so it shouldn't be a big problem to ask a great god to help you. But you may have to go to someone else's territory, after all, the gods can't leave their own country at will."

Axels nodded and said: "Of course that is. I also know the rules of the Gods. As long as you can find a reason to help the dead god, I have no problem with it no matter where you go for treatment."

After hearing what Axels said, Kristina immediately smiled and said, "Then it's not a big problem. Since using the law directly helps you complete the operation, the subsequent part of alchemy to strengthen the body can be dispensed with. This leaves us with only two difficulties. But as long as we can grow horses, these won't be problems."

"Then let's temporarily cut off all these things on my body now?" Axels asked impatiently after hearing this.

Kristina nodded and said: "Of course. We cannot stay here to complete the follow-up treatment, so we must leave first. President, please break all those chains first. "

"give it to me."

It is no trouble to cut off the chains, there is eternity. In fact, these chains are not much stronger than noodles. It didn't even take me a minute to cut off all the chains on this guy's body, so that only the part of the chain on his body that was fixed under the flesh was left. . Of course, although the chains have been removed, I need to dig out the chains fixed on the ground or walls or even pillars one by one. The materials of these chains are all super metals. After a little smelting and processing, they will become the best alloy materials. It is definitely the best additive material for refining equipment. Even if it is dismantled and sold as materials, we can probably make a small profit, not to mention that we will definitely choose a direct production method with higher added value.

While I was digging the anchors for the chains, Kristina had already used magic to send Exals to the other side of the big ditch, but there were some minor troubles about how to leave this place.

The passage leading to the outside of this cave is about the same as a tunnel through the mountain. This size can be said to be quite spacious. But... Exals is an epic dragon that stands seventy meters tall. Even big beasts like Lucky and Plague feel several times smaller in front of him. I'm lucky to be able to squeeze through this passage with someone of this size. But Axels was completely hopeless. His body is just too big.

Originally, this kind of problem was not a problem for the Dragon Clan at all. Don’t forget that the Transformation Technique was invented by the Dragon Clan, so as long as you use the Transformation Technique, you can easily transform yourself into any small creature, and then you can walk through this passage with swagger. .

However, now this method runs into a little trouble here.

Because Axels has been imprisoned by the chains on his body for many years, his body has absorbed too many metal components, to the point where his muscle tissue and blood have been poisoned. If it were just ordinary metal. This kind of poisoning should only harm Excelsior's body, but the problem is that the chains themselves are made of anti-magic materials, so the metal elements absorbed into Excelsior's body are actually all anti-magic materials. This large amount of magic-resistant metal existing in Excelsior's body caused Excelsior's entire body to turn into a large magic-forbidden ball, and the scope of action of this magic-forbidden ball is his body itself, so transformation techniques and the like It has no effect on him at all, whether he releases it himself or someone else releases it, the result is the same. All magic power is blocked by the magic-blocking metal, and it is impossible to produce the slightest effect.

Without the deformation technique, we have to find a way to force this super giant, which is 70 meters tall and 300 meters long, through the passage that is not actually narrow. But the problem is, with the size of Exals, it is necessary to force it through. It was really impossible in the past.

After I packed up the chains and anchors, I started to think of a way with everyone, but it was really hard to think of a way to let such a big thing pass through such a small hole. Although we have a top magician here, I would rather have a magician perform a transformation into a dragon and then directly take Exals outside. It's a pity that if a real magician comes, he can only stare at this situation.

"Well... how about we widen the passage a little bit?" the team leader's mother asked uncertainly.

Kristina said feebly: "Don't think about it, I've seen it all. This is a demi-plane. Behind the wall of the passage is the space barrier. With our strength, it's okay to open a hole in it, but if we want to widen it, we can't. Counting on it.”

"Doesn't that mean we are trapped here and can't get out?" An older child asked: "You have solved such a complicated problem, but we are stuck in a passage?" (To be continued.
