After clarifying the misunderstanding, Lan Que still got angry at Luo Binhan even though he apologized politely.
"You actually make fun of this kind of thing!" it shouted angrily, "and I'm still worried that you may have been implanted with parasitic eggs! You should be eaten by that insectoid swarm mind!"
It looked like it was ready to slap a "fairy flame" on Luo Binhan's face at any time. Luo Binhan had to admit his mistake honestly, and then defended himself: "I thought you could see directly into my body?"
"Yes, there is a detection spell on this overalls." Blue Magpie said angrily, "But some specialized species of the Tavoa Arthropod Consciousness Group are very small! Their eggs can only reach half of your hair. diameter, ordinary detection spells are likely to miss them! You have nothing else to do now? I'd better give you a detailed physical examination."
"I don't think it's necessary." Luo Binhan said. He was still wondering where he had encountered the term "Tavoa Arthropod Consciousness Group" before, but Blue Magpie refused to let it go easily. With a rare tough attitude, it asked Luo Binhan to follow it back to the magic workshop in Savage Village for a strict physical examination and local wound treatment.
Luo Binhan didn't want to argue with it, but he happened to also want to visit the Savage Village. They walked to the mountains together, and Blue Magpie was still chattering along the way, looking for various angles to criticize his care for his body.
"...You have slight bruises under the skin on your right forehead, severe burns on your right palm, and stomach cramps - how long have you not eaten? What happened to make you like this?"
Luo Binhan then remembered that the last food he came into contact with was the insect wine that Marin brought the day before yesterday, but he didn't feel very hungry, but the wound on his right hand gave him a headache. He raised his hand and asked, "Can you cure this?"
"I will try." Lan Que said conservatively, "There are traces of magic on it, I don't think it can be recovered so easily."
Luo Binhan didn't have high hopes either. He put away his hand, and his mind gradually became more alive, wondering if he could achieve the same effect if he forced someone to hold the handle of the knife and then chanted the spell. Even if he couldn't torture humans, having an extra lunchbox heater seemed nice.
He ran various ideas about the heater's uses through his head, each filled with a sense of rebellion against his gorgeous mate. Until a little commotion at the head of the trail caught his attention.
By this time they had almost reached the savage village. While passing through the surrounding farmland, Luo Binhan noticed that something seemed to be shaking slightly under the lush mud leaves. At first, he thought it was some wild animal, until a brilliant golden color flashed between the branches and leaves.
He immediately told Lan Que what he had discovered and watched the White Tower apprentice float past quickly.
"Oh, it's starting again." Lan Que scolded, "You glutton! Excessive dream color is not good for you! Now you have started to gain weight!"
It took out a small piece of crystal from under the cloak, and then cast a spell on the farmland. Suddenly, the thing hidden inside floated like weightlessness and was gently transported to the blue magpie. And that scene shocked Lan Que and Luo Binhan at the same time.
A total of three members of the theft group were caught. The leading suspected mastermind has scales as bright as gold and looks fatter than before. When it was captured, it still had a few mud leaves in its mouth and yawned lazily under Luo Binhan's glare.
The circumstances of the crime and the attitude of the guilty plea were equally bad. In comparison, the other two accomplices were much more honest. They were only slightly larger than a palm, and their scales were dark green and sky blue respectively. But when the blue magpie tapped their heads with the tips of their fingers, the two accomplices had already swollen bellies, and their bellies were distorted from eating too many drowned leaves. Sticking his tongue, he gasped dizzily.
"Those two eggs have hatched...it's strange. This place is not suitable for dragons to reproduce in large numbers. How could they hatch at this time?"
Lan Que examined the three dragons one by one in confusion. Just when she was about to pack them up and take them back to the workshop, the golden baby dragon roared to the sky, and the floating spell controlling them failed. It fell to the ground with its two little followers, and immediately swept away its previous laziness. Its twelve short legs broke free like wild horses and flew towards the free world outside the village.
Luo Binhancheng put his hands in his pockets and stared at this scene.
"Can it still break your spell?" he asked Lan Que with great interest. As a result, Lan Que ignored him at all and just pointed and scolded the three thieves, threatening to stuff bitter nutrients into their mouths next time.
Luo Binhan was not very optimistic about this war to protect crops, but when Lan Que made harsh remarks, he wisely remained silent to avoid being implicated.
His honesty paid off in the following tests. Lan Que hardly made things difficult for him during the physical examination. Basically, he just directed a small crystal ball to roll around on his body, made him inhale several different medicinal powders, and observed the changes in his expression. Luo Binhan didn't feel any discomfort, but he was choking on the powder and coughing.
Lan Que placed his fingers on his mandible and nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, it seems that you are fine." It said with admiration, "Not a single insect egg was stained after close contact. Your physique is really good. Oh, by the way, there are also your injuries."
It applied a little green ointment to Luo Binhan's forehead, and then recited a spell. The injury on his forehead was still left in Gulan City. It was very severe at the time, but it has almost healed in the past few days. After Lan Que wiped off the ointment, Luo Binhan touched the area again and felt that his skin was smoother and more tender than ever before.
"You should go sell facial masks." He sincerely suggested to Lan Que.
It's easy to fix the bruise on your forehead, but it doesn't seem so easy to treat the burn on your palm. They tried several herbs and spells one after another, and finally Lan Que hung his skeleton on the shelf in frustration.
"Okay, okay, I understand." It swayed on the shelf like a ghost. "This is not an ordinary injury, but a 'Seal of Oath'. It cannot be cured by ordinary spells unless You meet the conditions for its disappearance.”
"What do you mean? Is this a curse?"
"It's more like a contract." Lan Que continued to shake himself and said, "The Seal of Oath, or some believers will call it 'Stigmata'. It is a spell classified under the category of mind, and a curse. The difference is that it is not imposed on you by others, but must be obtained by you on the premise of informed consent. If you want to cancel it, you must meet some other conditions."
"What conditions?"
"How do I know? It depends on what seal of oath you have given yourself. Usually it will be linked to a certain character or virtue - such as piety, sacrifice, courage, honesty, generosity... You have to meet its requirements in order to Eliminate it."
Yaleriga never mentioned this. Luo Binhan had no choice but to take out the scimitar and show it to Lan Que for inspection. As soon as he pulled out the blade, Lan Que immediately exclaimed, floated over and snatched the scimitar away.
"It's unmistakable. This is a weapon made by fairies." It almost put its eye holes on the blade. "This ripple-like ether texture, and the fairy language secretly engraved on it... these are the weapons used by water fairies in dreams. A weapon forged by the stars. Where did you find it? It was passed down from family ancestors?"
"A gift from someone else."
"Oh, that must be someone who values you very much. The weapons made by fairies will only be given to specific people. They cannot be sold or robbed. If there is no suitable successor, they will take the weapon back or seal it away."
Luo Binhan drank the tea silently. He was immersed in his own thoughts, and it took him a long time to realize that Lan Que was also staring at the scimitar, lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" he asked casually, without worrying that the other party was trying to steal his knife.
"Nothing, just... this knife reminds me of some legends. Do you know where mages first originated? Before joining the alliance, before the secret alliance was established, it is said that the earliest mages obtained the secrets from goblins. A human girl and an elf knight were united, and the children they gave birth to became the earliest children of nature, revealing the secrets of magic to humans. Since then, there have been tower mages. Nowadays, few people learn those ancient magic skills. A sect controlled by the Camarilla still follows the secret tradition and learns those ancient magic skills. They are different from other mages. After learning, they will not build towers in the same place, but go to completely unfamiliar places - —The name of that sect is 'Leaf of Life'."
Lan Que gently stroked the blade, as if remembering an old friend.
"When I was young, the first mage I saw came from the 'Leaf of Life'. She didn't wear work clothes, and she wasn't used to hiring apprentices, but she was really... I had never seen such a beautiful person. She is like a fairy in the legend. She tells me stories about mages every night. She always says that I am very smart and talented. I can get into the White Tower with just a little hard work... Luo Han, I really wish I could To become someone like her. This is why I sold my jewelry and clothes and ran away to take the mage exam behind my parents’ back."
