Blood of Mercury

"Well...it seems to be alright."

The middle-aged woman in a white wizard robe lifted her blue fluorescent right hand from Lena, sighed, and shrugged at Gareth: "It's better to say, she has no problem at all. Gareth, Are you sure that little Lena is sick?"

Thad said in a very relaxed tone: "In the information fed back to me by [Detecting Soul Vitality], she has nothing abnormal except that her body is relatively weak."

"Stop kidding, Ms. Thadde," Gareth said sharply, "Lena's temperature was very high at home. Our whole family can attest to this... Would you check again?"

"It's the same thing over and over again."

The white-robed witch known as Sade frowned and stared at Gareth with some dissatisfaction: "I guarantee in the name of my great wizard, and the detection result is absolutely correct... Now it is worse than doubting me. Level, you might as well think about whether your whole family has hallucinations at the same time - the possibility of that is a little higher."

Hearing this, a nameless fire surged in Gareth's heart.

What is absolutely correct? Maybe she didn't check properly.

Lena must be suffering from some kind of plague. Not only the terrifyingly hot forehead, whether it was the crimson skin on Lena's body or her painful moaning, it was definitely not fake.

Gareth dares to risk his life.

Lina is being threatened by an unknown plague, but now the director of the medical department is making a hasty diagnosis like this, which is simply irresponsible——

"Sorry, Ms. Sade, please check again...just one more time..."

Gareth bit his lip and pleaded with Sade in a low voice: "I can be sure that Lena's pain before was not an illusion... If it wasn't for being treated by a passing healer, I'm afraid Lena wouldn't be able to survive here... …”

But Gareth was only halfway through, when he saw Thad's eyes suddenly turn cold, and he swallowed the rest of the second half.

Thad was already furious.

——After she said something like "guarantee in the name of the great wizard", Gareth stubbornly asked her to check again. Isn't it because she doesn't believe that she can still be?

She stared at Gareth for a few seconds, and finally squeezed the anger back into her stomach.

There was not even the slightest movement of Sade. Her right hand once again had a clear blue halo. A beautiful halo like a firefly wrapped her right hand, which had begun to slacken, and the serious-faced middle-aged woman pressed her right hand on Xiao Lina's forehead again.

She murmured, "Okay, for Xiao Lina's sake..."

"Thank you, Ms. Thad. Thank you very much..."

"Okay. Lina is really all right, carry her back."

As a result, Garrus had just thanked him twice before Thad took his hand away again.

She shook her right hand with an almost indifferent expression, hiding the azure blue fluorescence.

--So fast? !

Gareth froze for a moment.

In such a short period of time, even a golden rank wizard can at most complete the construction of the [Detect Soul Vitality] spell. Just started searching.

I'm afraid Thad just checked Lena's physical condition hastily...

No, that won't work.

You must know that there are devices in the more important places such as the medical department to prevent transmission and detection... What if you take Lena back by yourself, and you get sick again at home?

If that's the case, I'm afraid it's really not good for me to send her back.

"Ms. Sade, the speed of your inspection...why is it so fast."

"Who do you think I am?"

Thad's expression that had been stern was slightly relaxed. The woman's tone, who had always been serious, also eased a lot: "I already know the technique of detecting soul vitality-"

"Sorry, Ms. Thad...I want you to be more careful...I mean, check a little..."

"—Enough, Gareth!"

Sadd immediately exploded: "What do you mean? Don't you believe me? If you don't believe in the medical department, you will find someone to treat yourself. What are you doing here?"

"No, no... I just wanted to say. Is the inspection speed too fast? After all, detecting the vitality of the soul is an eight-ring technique. I don't think even the great wizard's search will be so fast... "

"You also know that this is the sorcery of the Eighth Ring, Gareth," Thad laughed angrily: "Then do you know how much the sorcery of the Eighth Ring consumes me?"

"Ms. Sade..."

"enough."

Thad got up impatiently and left here: "I still have a few unfinished tasks here. Wizard Gareth, if you have nothing else to do, I'll leave."

The woman who had been Gareth's grandmother for her age had never been soft-hearted. She and her work are completely different, not at all like the gentleness that a medical worker should have.

However, if she is the most outstanding pharmacist in the White Tower, her arrogance is taken for granted.

When Gareth was a trainee wizard. He once took two public classes with THAAD. It was then that he became acquainted with the most outstanding pharmacist in the White Tower - but the relationship between the two of them was nothing more than that.

"Ugh……"

He sighed deeply.

Blame yourself for being too hasty.

Everyone knows Ms. Sade's violent temper. Since she said so, it's useless to say it herself.

But Lena...

Gareth looked at Lena, who was sleeping soundly, and his expression relaxed a lot.

Maybe Lena is really well, right? so sleepy...

Gareth stretched out his hand, bent over the sleeping Lena's leg. I'm about to pick up Lena.

As a result, Gareth stumbled and nearly dropped Lena to the ground.

……what happened? Lena sinking?

No, it's not... It's probably because I've been hugging for too long just now, and my arms are sore.

He shook his weak arm, regained strength to hug Lena, and ran home.

It didn't get far in the end. Gareth felt a sense of exhaustion.

He was gasping for breath, heavy and hot.

"Cough...cough..."

Maybe it's because Lena pressed against her chest? Gareth couldn't help but coughed a few times~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I always felt a little dizzy in front of my eyes... Did I run too fast before?

"No...wait..."

Gareth suddenly felt dizzy.

And I can't feel my body temperature is high. But the body is strangely weak, without the slightest strength.

"This is……"

Gareth's sanity began to blur.

His right leg twitched violently, his knee went weak, and he knelt directly on the ground.

Suddenly, the rough ground tore his knees.

Almost, he just threw Lena out.

With his last sobriety, he insisted on putting Lena beside him, and then he half-knelt on the ground, losing consciousness. (To be continued.)
