The dim light of the morning sun was like ink falling into water, dispersing the night a little bit. Before the sky was completely bright, the surroundings were still in an awkward state of darkness. Angel could only vaguely see the two people walking.
He came, but his face could not be seen clearly. It was not until the little man walking in front rushed over with mixed emotions of surprise and worry that a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Sarum?!"
The little man wore a white wizard's robe, covering his whole body like a sheet, with only his round head exposed. Through the light of oil on the doorpost, Angel clearly recognized the person.
"Angel! Great, you're okay! You don't know how worried we are about you!" Tears welled up in Salum's excited eyes.
Angel clicked his tongue twice, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and threw it to Salum: "Children, we haven't seen each other for a few days, so why are you crying? After becoming an official wizard, it is estimated that we will meet every hundred years. What happened then?
How old are you? Learn to grow up!" When he said "learn to grow up," he deliberately imitated Sanders' tone. Not to mention, that kind of condescending superiority was quite refreshing.
.
"Angel, just be okay." At this time, the tall woman behind Salum also came over. Although her voice was flat, Angel could still feel the strong emotions she was filled with.
"Nausicaa, long time no see."
As soon as Angel and Nausicaa faced each other, Salum suddenly said: "Is your injury okay now? I saw that you left a lot of blood. It really scared me to death."
"Injury? What injury?"
"Stop pretending. I know you are sad that Toby... left. If you want to cry, just cry. You don't have to pretend to be happy. I feel sad when I see you." Salum pretended to be mature and opened his arms.
: "Come on, I'll lend you my shoulder."
Angel pushed Salum away and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Toby was sleeping soundly. Where did he leave?" After that, he carefully took Toby out of his inner pocket and put it in his pocket.
Palm.
Except for a little bit of feather loss, Toby's wounds have completely healed. His chest is still beating regularly, and he is obviously just sleeping.
"Toby is okay? No, I clearly saw Master Twilight putting it..." Salem stopped and put on a thankful expression: "As long as everything is okay."
"Twilight?" Angel suddenly understood when he heard Salum talking about this old woman: "Did you go to the Twilight Shooting?"
Salum nodded: "I went with Miss Nausicaa, but we didn't enter the inner court. We just watched the big screen in the outer hall. Later, when a slave was being auctioned, Toby suddenly appeared on the screen. I was wondering.
, you also appeared on the big screen. Then, I saw you and Toby being killed by Master Twilight... Oh, luckily you are okay."
Nausicaa stretched out her left hand and patted Salem on the shoulder: "I said it's okay. When Master Twilight was preparing to hurt you, nothing suddenly appeared on the big screen in the outer hall. I was thinking at that time, it must be
Someone saved you."
Angel looked at Nausicaa and thought she was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it and nodded: "It was my mentor who saved me." He did not mention any more hidden details, but simply stated the final result.
"I also guessed that at an auction of this level, only Mr. Sanders has such courage." A trace of envy flashed in Nausicaa's eyes, "I analyzed it for Saleum at the time, but he still didn't believe it.
You dragged me to your doorstep for two days."
"You guys have been waiting here for me for two days?" A touch of emotion flashed in Angel's eyes.
"Miss Nausicaa is exaggerating. We haven't been waiting forever. We have also completed the rental procedures in Apprentice Town in the past two days." Salum pointed to two small courtyards a few hundred meters away and said to Angel:
"Those two houses are the houses we rented. We originally wanted to be neighbors with you, and we could have gangs together on weekdays, but it turns out that your house is too far away from the residential area, and your house is the only one nearby. The magic crystals on us are also
If we don’t have enough money to rebuild the foundation, we can only choose a place closer to you.”
"It's okay, it's quite close. I just happened to feel sick after eating dry food. Don't blame me for coming to eat and drink when the time comes." Angel chuckled.
"Speaking of which, why did Toby suddenly rush into the field?" Salum asked curiously.
"Here... don't stand and talk. Come on, I'll go in and talk to you." Angel greeted the two of them into the room.
After entering the house, Angel went to the attic first, took down Toby's crib, put it in his bedroom, and then put Toby on the soft bed before walking out.
Angel whispered to them Toby's life experience, about Greia, and about Barbie's restaurant.
After finishing speaking, the atmosphere fell into silence. After a while, Nausicaa blew out a smoke ring and then said with a smile: "So that's it. No wonder Toby was so excited when he saw the Eyeless Man being auctioned.
Come down."
Salum: "I didn't expect Toby to have such a tortuous life experience."
Angel smiled: "Are there twists and turns? In fact, Toby's life was very smooth. The twists and turns were caused by his former master."
"Greya, that was an incredible legendary figure, but it's a pity that he has fallen." Nausicaa has always paid close attention to witches, especially witches like Grea who have embarked on the path of true knowledge.
Angel did not reveal the information that Greia might not be dead. He just smiled and passed the topic.
"I've been talking for so long, I almost forgot to pour you some water." Angel took out two cups and filled them up directly with the water delivery technique.
Just when he was about to fill another cup with water, he found that Salum grabbed the empty cup directly and used the water delivery technique on the water cup.
Compared to the last time, Salum used the Water Sending Technique much faster this time, almost as fast as Angel's release speed. This shows that he has put a lot of effort into the Water Sending Technique's magic model these days.
"I'm not embarrassing you." Salum picked up the cup filled with water, smiled triumphantly at Angel, and drank it all in one gulp.
Angel, however, smiled and poured out the water in the other cup, then refilled it before passing it to Nausicaa.
"The model is very stable, and the magic output is faster than last time. But -" Angel said with a smile, "I just don't have the eyesight. I haven't washed the cup for more than two months."
Salum's smile immediately fell, and he said pitifully: "Why didn't you remind me?"
"Because I want you to pretend to be a complete jerk." Angel said with a smile.
Nausicaa looked at the bickering between the two friends and felt that the gloominess of the past few days was gone. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she picked up the water glass and took a sip.
Although Angel was talking to Salem, he still paid part of his attention to Nausicaa. When he saw Nausicaa patting Salem on the shoulder outside, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
, always feels a bit inconsistent.
Now, Nausicaa took the water glass and drank it.
Angel felt an even greater sense of dissonance. Looking at Nausicaa's left hand, a picture suddenly flashed through Angel's mind... At that time, Nausicaa was standing outside the door next to Salum.
On the left, she patted Salum on the shoulder with her left hand. At this time, although her right hand was obviously closer to Angel, she stretched out her left hand to take the cup.
Angel looked at Nausicaa's right hand in confusion. It was covered by a black robe and could not be seen clearly.
"Nausicaa, your right hand...is injured?"
"Injured?" Nausicaa smiled and shook her head, then lifted up the black robe on her right hand: "No, I just accidentally lost it."
Lost it?! Before Angel could realize the meaning of this sentence, he saw the empty right side from the shoulder, and his expression instantly froze.
"Don't worry, missing my right arm is not a big deal. It won't affect my combat power." Nausicaa smiled brightly in the smoke, "It's just a matter of transplanting a new arm. 70% of bloodline wizards can do it."
Transplanting limbs is nothing to me. At the twilight auction that day, the right arm of a Gulan gibbon was auctioned, but I thought the arm with green hair was a bit ugly and the price was too expensive, so I didn't bid."
Angel also remembered "Gulan Gibbon's right arm", and the final transaction price was 1300 magic crystals.
Nausicaa is not someone who cares about appearance, so her saying that green hair is ugly is just an excuse. Mostly because the price is too expensive.
Angel recalled that all the transplanted organs at the Twilight Auction were relatively expensive, and many of them cost over ten thousand magic crystals. This was because not all organs could be transplanted into wizards. Some organs were too powerful, and some were too powerful.
Some organs are too weak, and some organs cannot be artificially clamped with blood vessels. Even very suitable organs still need to be cultivated for a long time using cultivation techniques. Sometimes organs that have been cultivated for more than ten years may become useless.
It can only be discarded.
Therefore, organ transplantation is not something that ordinary wizard apprentices can afford. However, many magic techniques require organ transplantation to be released. For example, the low-level trick "Dog Nose Technique" requires the transplantation of canine organs, resulting in low market prices for organs.
Stopped rising.
"When I reach the second level of wizard apprentice, I will go to the abyss again. Then maybe I can find a transplant organ suitable for my right arm." Nausicaa used to be a pirate leader, and was used to seeing missing arms and legs, so
Very open-minded.
"However, I don't know when I will reach the second level wizard apprentice... By then, the Shuangyue Passage near the Savage Cave will definitely be closed. If I want to go to the abyss for free, I will probably have to join Shuangyue's plane expedition team.
, this is the notorious land reclamation team." Angel frowned.
"It doesn't matter, the plan can't keep up with the changes. Just wait and see. Maybe it will take a turn in the next second. Even if you don't find a suitable one, the worst thing is to install an iron hook first. When I used to wander around the Blackberry Sea, those pirate leaders wanted to
To show his identity, he deliberately cut off his arms and installed iron hooks." Nausicaa recalled the past, "The one-eyed captain, the iron hook pirate, the black beard, the red beard...these pirate leaders are all equipped with iron hooks, and they have become pirates.
It's standard equipment. I will install an iron hook in the future, so people can recognize my identity at a glance. How nice."
Nausicaa said to herself, but Angel frowned slightly: Iron hook?
Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
The iron hook reminded him a lot... Actually, it doesn't necessarily need to be transplanted? He saw a science fiction oil painting on the holographic tablet a few days ago——
A half-naked man floating in the star universe, his limbs are armored, his eyes are tightly closed, and the silver is scattered everywhere.
Angel found this oil painting very novel at the time, but now that he thought about it, it gave him a revelation.
Before transplanting organs from powerful monsters, installing mechanical prostheses is also a good choice?!
