Vol 2 Chapter 76: Blood and tears

The interruption of the blue-crowned rooster made the atmosphere in the study a little relaxed again.
Dr. Duzem tugged at the neckline, a somewhat uncomfortable expression on his yellow face.
"Sorry, this wall clock has been broken for a long time." The doctor arbitrarily cleaned up the manuscripts and books on the table, and his voice seemed unassuming: "Actually, it's not yet dinner time... Of course, if You are hungry..."
"No, no." Zheng Qing shook his head repeatedly.
He is really not hungry.
"We actually have other things that need your help, so I don't want to disturb you." Jiang Yu added with a smile.
These words really relieved Dr. Duzem.
"So, what can I do for you?" The doctor rubbed his hands, showing an enthusiastic expression: "Please say, please say."
For him, as long as the Jiang family is not here to check the accounts, everything is easy to say.
"I heard that you are superb in alchemy, so I want to ask you some questions." Jiang Yu still followed the old habits before speaking, and gave the doctor a small compliment.
"I'm only good at the'life refining method' in alchemy," Dr. Duzem replied very cautiously: "Other subdivisions, only a little understanding."
"What I am asking is about the content of'Life Formation'." Jiang Yu smiled satisfied: "My friends have some special partners who have encountered some troubles... I hope you can give me some advice."
As she said, she put down the tea cup, took the cardboard box in Zheng Qing's arms, and gently placed it on the desk.
Dr. Duzem groaned and took out a pair of straight-legged gold-frame glasses from his pocket and stuck it on the bridge of his nose.
Zheng Qing noticed that the slender metal chain hanging from the temples of his glasses was drilled into his ear holes.
Like a snake.
It looks a little scary.
Jiang Yu didn't seem to notice this detail, but just opened the towel covered by the carton.
The doctor carefully looked at the little life in the box through the thin lens and the faint light outside the window.
"Oh, it's a group of green elves." Dr. Duzem's tone looked disappointed.
To be precise, he felt it was a waste of time.
For most wizards, these little lives active in every corner of their lives seem to be no different from the air and trees. They are very important, but not so important.
There is no need to waste so much time on a group of elves.
There is no need to find an alchemist like yourself to handle these trivial things.
He shook his head slightly and did not continue to speak.
Now that he has promised others, he will naturally not break his promise.
The doctor took out a pair of golden silkworm leather gloves from the toolbox on the table and put them on, then took out a pair of small tweezers and capillary probes, lifted out a sleepy elf from the box and placed it on the silver tray In, start to do basic inspections.
The elf didn't care about the cold instruments poking and poking on her body, and still couldn't sleep soundly.
Zheng Qing felt astringent in his heart.
Dr. Duzem checked while analyzing in a low voice:
"The standard green elf has no obvious signs of modification."
"No signs of magical damage, no traces of physical damage, no rancidity or discoloration."
"The skin is clean, no odor is found; the body temperature is low, but within the normal fluctuation range; the pupils are not diffuse, and the breath is uniform. The overall vital signs are normal."
"Not a plague."
"There is no obvious trauma."
After finding this, the doctor raised his head and glanced at Jiang Yu with a strange look, then lowered his head again, and while checking, he muttered: "The corners of his eyes are obviously aging, and I can't sleep well... This is a group of bereaved owners. Elf."
After checking, Dr. Duzem looked at the two guests with certainty:
"The statute lines are three points deep, and the eyeballs have obvious conditioned reflexes to strong light... It can be judged that the host has died less than one month, perhaps less than two weeks. And it is an abnormal death.
Zheng Qing was surprised and nodded quickly, approving the doctor's judgment.
Jiang Yu walked away a little bored.
In her view, these judgments and content are basic tasks for the doctor.
A delicate bird cage was hung by the window. In the cage, a pale yellow, fluffy bird was snoozing on the bird rack.
Jiang Yu flexed his fingers and flicked the birdcage lightly.
"Ding! Ding!"
The little yellow opened his black bean-sized eyes, looked at the beauty in front of him, blinked, opened his mouth and sang happily: "I have a pair of small wings, I am not fat at all, and I always wake up early in the morning and crow. busy……"
Dr. Duzem raised his head in dissatisfaction and glanced at the little yellow bird.
The little yellow bird obediently closed his mouth, changed direction, and continued to doze.
Jiang Yu raised his head with interest, as if to ask something.
But seeing the doctor who was busy, he closed his mouth again.
"How? Is there any help?" Zheng Qing looked at the doctor eagerly, holding his breath, and praying secretly.
"Yes, and can't." Dr. Duzem nodded first, then shook his head, and said a conclusion that surprised Zheng Qing.
"Can you save it?" His voice trembled a little, "How to save it?"
Dr. Duzem glanced at him curiously, wondering why the young wizard cared so much for a group of green elves.
In his opinion, this may be the special hobby of young wizards.
In the wizarding world, elves are very low-level creatures, and are not even recognized as intelligent beings by the Wizarding League.
The green elf is also the lowest among the elf species.
They don't have the gift of blue elf Nirvana, nor the gorgeous appearance of white or golden elf.
Their only advantage is more.
It's cheaper.
"For the wizard, nothing is impossible in the world." Dr. Dozem gently looked at the young man in front of him and warned: "The only difference is the price."
"Price." Zheng Qing murmured.
"There are many ways to save these little elves, but strictly speaking, they are not cost-effective." Dr. Dozem squeezed his fingers and counted: "Don't mention the potions or magic that bring back the dead and reverse the Yin and Yang. Inside, there are many ways to restore these elves."
With that, he glanced at Jiang Yu.
"For example, ask a senior professor at Atlas College to perform the'big blessing technique'. According to the price a few years ago, you can apply for about one thousand to two thousand jade coins... If you pay for an expedited fee, Maybe this group of little elves can open their eyes tonight and sing happily in your ears."
Zheng Qinggan laughed, but he didn't dare to pick up.
Just kidding, don't talk about the rush fee, even for those thousand jade coins, he doesn't know how to raise money.
Perhaps Dr. Duzem thought that Miss Jiang’s friends were as rich as the old lady.
"Or, buy a'demon contract' from a wandering wizard. The price will not be too expensive. You can buy a contract written by a demon lord with sufficient strength for about 100 jade coins. The only problem is that you don't Know what these demons will take from you. Maybe part of the soul, maybe part, of course, they like to pull a wizard into the abyss of corruption the most... You know the wandering wizard, the shopkeeper of the wandering bar. "
Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly: "Know, know, I have his gold card."
"That's easier, you should know his abilities... and the price is estimated to be cheaper." Dr. Duzem looked at the humble young man in surprise: "Why didn't you go to the wandering wizard to help you? What? He is very knowledgeable ~EbookFREE.me~ and may give you good advice."
"Everyone said he was a dark wizard." Zheng Qing said for a long time before finally admitting: "My friends all persuaded me not to make a deal with him."
"You good children raised in your family have all kinds of taboos about dealing with wandering wizards." The doctor nodded clearly, then shook his head: "pedantic."
"Is there any other way?" Jiang Yu obviously didn't like the second way and asked.
"If treating the symptoms but not the root cause, there will be more ways." The doctor will not go into details one by one, but simply introduce: "Mist wine made from the volatiles of the Nine Turns Golden Core, the soaking liquid of the Sage's Stone, the sand time Royal jelly... can extend the lives of these little elves for a short time. It’s just that the life extension varies depending on the dosage. Maybe a year or a half, maybe only one or two months, or even shorter. If you don’t mind, here I am There is a way to make your group of elves sober for a week or two..."
"Doctor, your eyes!" Jiang Yu suddenly exclaimed from the side.
Zheng Qing raised his head and was horrified to find that Dr. Duzem was slowly shed two lines of blood and tears.
