Chapter 252: The Black Devil Reappears
The next day, he slept until near noon, when Higg got up, and if it weren't for Jesse's urging, the guy wouldn't even be up for lunch.
In fact, Higg hasn't slept at all, he's slept enough in the past few days, and now the key is to recover his magic power, the golden water of hundreds of steel needles is in his body, and he must find a way to eliminate it, otherwise, one day he will have a seizure.
But after a night, Higg was surprised to find that the golden water in his blood had disappeared without a trace, and no matter how much Higg snooped, he could not find a trace at all. I didn't urge the magic fire to force out these things that seem to be troublesome now, how could they disappear for no reason!
Jesse brought in the washing water for Higg to wash, looking like a maid, Higg said with a smile: "I'm fine, no one needs to take care of me!" You're not my maid, besides, there are people here who need you to do these things? ”
Jesse hurriedly said, "You're going to take me away?" ”
Higg, who was wiping his face, was stunned: "Push you away?" Where are you going? ”
"Just don't let me go!" Jesse grinned and said, "I don't do anything but hunt, my father also raised me as a boy, now you should let me learn some things that a girl should do, I can't be around you and do nothing, right?" ”
Higg laughed, "You can go to Lufasi, he must be happy to have someone to serve you!" ”
Jesse was so anxious that she almost burst into tears and said, "Am I so annoying?" Do you want to drive me away? ”
"Uh...... That was not what I meant! Higg sighed, "Hey, I don't know which ancient person said that it is difficult for villains and women to raise ......."
"Stop arguing!" Lu Faxi walked in and said, "Madame and the young owner of the village have personally invited us to the banquet, will you go?" ”
"To a feast? Young owner? Higg handed the towel to Jesse and said, "Aren't they fasting?" How did you start the feast? ”
Looking at the angry look on Lu Faxi's face, Hig hurriedly stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, "Go, Madam came to invite me personally, how can I not go?" ”
……
After a period of greetings, Higg, Lufassi, and Jesse followed the woman and a young man under the age of thirty into the first courtyard, that is, the inner house, and the ordinary subordinates in the Zhuangzi rarely had the opportunity to enter the inner house in their lifetime, and only outsiders with noble status and invited by the master could enter the real inner house.
The banquet was placed in the main living room, and it was only the most distinguished guests who had the right to eat here, and Lu Faxi secretly admired Higg, and this woman really asked for them.
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Peart greet me with a smile and said, "Woman, young farmer, I am uninvited, I think you won't be surprised when you come, right?" ”
The woman laughed and said, "It was all our negligence that we almost missed Mr. Pilt, and since Mr. Piert doesn't recognize his life, it saves me from having to run again!" ”
But when the lady of the farmer arranged the seats, she arranged Lufasi in the upper seat of the guest seat, with Higg and Jesse on either side of Lufasi, and Pearct in the last seat.
Piert grinned and sat down, unimpressed, as if he had come here purely for dinner.
Introducing each other, Higg learned that the name of this Zhuangzi was Tiger Manor, the owner of the village was named Davis, the woman on the table was named Beverly, and the young owner of the village was called Owen, of course, Higg did not report his real name, but Angela, his usual alias.
After another round of greetings, the banquet really began.
Beverly got up and said, "I invite you to come today, first, to make a good fate, and secondly, Angela's son has recovered from a serious illness, which is gratifying, and it is really a great joy in my village!" Since my husband fell ill, Zhuang Shang has not been so festive for a long time, so today I lick my face and invite you to sit down and touch your joy! My husband is sick in bed, and I can't drink alcohol, so I will replace wine with tea and treat you slowly! Owen, you can have a few more drinks with me and your guests! ”
Owen got up to toast with everyone, and said half-jokingly: "I haven't seen meat at home for many days, but I have been stained with the light of all distinguished guests, so I will do it first!" After speaking, he took a glass of wine and drank it.
Higg is not polite, someone toasts and drinks, and no one toasts and eats, completely a cheeky model of starving ghost reincarnation.
……
The banquet was getting colder, and Lu Faxi picked up the wine glass and said: "I am already grateful to the warlock of Youfang for being able to be taken in by the owner of the village for a night, and the existing banquet and hospitality are really deserved!" Originally, I was going to leave early this morning and enter the city, but I didn't expect that there was an accident last night, it was really rude, and I hope that Mrs. and the young owner will not be surprised! With that, Higg and Jesse politely got up and drank a glass of wine with them.
Beverly hurriedly said, "What, the distinguished guest is leaving?" How does this work? Angela's son has just recovered from a serious illness, and he still has to raise for a few days, so how can we have peace of mind if he has to leave in such a hurry and wander around? It's better to stay first and recover from your illness, but if you need anything, just talk to Owen! Otherwise, the owner blames, I really don't know how to deal with it, and I hope you understand! ”
Lu Fasi repeatedly shirked, Beverly insisted again and again, Owen, who was sitting on the side, couldn't sit still, got up and said: "It's not a secret, we intend to let you see my father, but I just see that you also have patients, it has not been convenient in recent days, and it is not easy to speak!" Mother, if you have something, just say it, these distinguished guests are not unreasonable people, what are you worried about? ”
"Ugh......" Beverly sighed and sat back down.
Higg and the others couldn't help but look at Chao Owen through an approving gaze, only to see Lu Fasi asked in surprise, "What?" Mr. Pearct's clever rejuvenation could not cure the owner's illness? ”
Pearct smiled awkwardly: "Don't hide it from you, I actually didn't even see what kind of illness the owner had!" ”
This is not only Lu Faxi surprised, even Higg was surprised, Piert's healing techniques Lu Fasi and Higg have seen it, the means are clever, there is absolutely no problem, even if the owner's illness cannot be cured, how can it not even be diagnosed with any disease?
Pearct continued: "I have been practicing medicine for decades, saving countless people, everyone gave me a nickname called Hades, I didn't expect this signboard to be smashed here today, so today I have to come to ask a few people with a cheeky face, a few of them are admirable, and I think they will be able to cure the owner's illness!" ”
Higg sneered: "I'm afraid that Mr. Piert wants to see our jokes, so let's balance it out!" ”
Piert said angrily: "Son Angela, although I, Piert, am usually uninhibited, but I am single-minded in treating diseases and saving people!" The signboard is a small matter, but human life is at stake, I will never joke about this kind of thing! If Mr. and Mr. Lu Fasi can cure the owner's illness, I am willing to gamble on myself and obey your orders! ”
"Good!" Higg also began to look at Pilt, and said, "Mr. Pilt, what I said just now was rude! Since human life is at stake, then we have to wait a few days to see what to do, and go to the doctor now! ”
Beverly was overjoyed, but still said, "Childe has just recovered from a serious illness......"
Higg interrupted Beverly and said, "It's okay! Lead the way! ”
……
Walking through the corridors of the two exquisite courtyards, Beverly and Owen took Higg and the others down to a main room in the innermost part of the inner courtyard, where an old man of about sixty years old was lying on the bed, unconscious, and in the hot weather, he was wrapped in a thick quilt, and he was not afraid to cover people to death. That old man should naturally be Davis, the owner of this Zhuangzi.
Higg walked to the bed, only to see the old man's face dark, but when he touched it, he was cold, if it wasn't for the faint breathing, I'm afraid Higg would have thought him dead.
Higg carefully examined the pupils, mouth, and heartbeat, and examined the whole body with water therapy, but was surprised to find that, as Pearct said, there was no disease in the body at all, or rather, he had not detected any illness at all.
Higg was about to turn around and ask Lu Fasi, but he saw that Lu Faxi's face was solemn, his eyes were blank, but he showed a trace of fear, and a little bead of sweat appeared on his forehead. Higg grabbed Lufasi's slightly trembling right hand to calm him down before asking, "Lufasi, what do you see?" ”
Lufasi looked at Higg and then at the people around him, and kept silent.
In fact, Higg had already faintly felt something, he had seen this situation, he was not sick, but he died mysteriously, this is Douglas who died violently on the fortress of Giscoll, and only this bizarre magic will make Lufasi feel a trace of fear.
Pulling Lufasi, Higg walked out of the room, and several people, completely unaware of what was happening, followed closely behind.
Coming to the front hall, Owen asked anxiously, "Mr. Lufasi, Mr. Angela, what is my father's disease, have you diagnosed it?" ”
Neither Higg nor Lufasi spoke, the matter was so serious that if the world knew about it, it would not only cause panic, but also startle the snake.
Higg ignored Owen, pulled the farsi aside, and asked softly, "Sir, can you get rid of it?" ”
Lu Faxi shook his head and said: "When my mana is still there, although I can't drive it away, I can barely suppress it, at least let him not relapse in a few years, and then save him, but now I can't do anything!" ”
Higgdaqi asked, "Is there any way you can use it, but I can't?" ”
Lu Faxi continued to shake his head and said, "Light magic, only light angels can use it to the extreme, even I only know a few skins!" Give up, you can't help it! ”
Higg said: "Dark magic is in the world, this time is extraordinary, if you can't save people, and then investigate this matter clearly, you will miss a lot of information!" Mr. Lufasi, for the sake of the peace of Middle-earth, and for the sake of gaining a head start before the undead can make a move, you must explain to me the magic of light, I want to revive this man, at least let him wake up, and ask some things clearly! ”
"You know it's dark magic, too?" Lu Faxi looked at Higg in surprise, then shook his head and said, "Light magic can't be mastered by your human race, not even magic mages, you better not waste your efforts!" ”
Higg scoffed, "Isn't light magic part of the art of Middle-earth? I don't believe he can escape beyond the dimension of Middle-earth! ”
"And what about these people? How do you explain this kind of thing to them? ”
"Can you explain?" Higg said angrily: "Except for you and me, I can't let a third person know about this matter, don't worry, I'll deal with them!" ”
"Well, for now, we can only hold them back!"
