Quenched long order

Chapter 212 The only perfection

Although it was expected, when that day actually arrived, my body's condition was like a surging flood, all the way down, unstoppable.

Two days have passed since the interrogator died.

In the past two days, everything was as usual, but only on the surface, where it could be seen, secretly, there were more small tricks being used on Shaoer.

Since his soul energy was suppressed, Sauer knew that he could not resist at all. Even if he told the secret that he really wanted to hide, that he was from another world, it would not improve the situation in any way, because the answer was not The Stewart Investigation Team wants answers.

What's more important is that these interrogators treat him less and less as a human being.

Food and water, which were almost better than nothing, were almost cut off.

Until today, he felt as if all the energy in his body had been drained out. He couldn't use any strength in his body, and even his eyelids could only barely open.

My body has reached its limit, even to the point where I can’t even call for help.

"Stop pretending, this trick is of no use to us." Behind the interrogation table, the interrogator looked at Sauer with strong malice. The dead interrogator was his friend.

"Wait a minute, he doesn't seem to be faking." Another person hurriedly stepped forward to check. After a simple examination, he quickly shouted: "Go and call the doctor."

However, to Sauer's ears, these sounds were like sounds coming from the bottom of the water, hazy and indistinct, followed closely by footsteps and shouts.

Not long after, all the sounds disappeared, leaving only endless darkness.

Time seems to stand still at this moment, and the darkness will never end.

"Saul..."

A soft murmur close to the ear broke the silence.

The familiar voice, but not heard for a long time, was Garland's voice.

He was very curious, opened his eyes, and found that he was lying in the prison, still completely closed, unable to distinguish between day and night, but he was the only one in the room.

"I'm here, Sauer."

The voice came again.

He searched for the direction from which the sound came, and found a small figure in the gap in the wall. He quickly stepped forward and took a closer look, and then he saw it clearly.

For some reason, Garland turned into a thumb man, only slightly larger than a thumb. He was still wearing the somewhat worn miner's uniform, but it was quite clean, as if it had just been washed. The only thing that remained unchanged was the pair of jewel-like clothes. Clear blue eyes.

"You...how did you become like this?" Sauer asked. At first, his voice was at a normal volume, but he remembered that he was in prison, so he lowered his voice to prevent others from hearing him.

Garland jumped a little, and at the same time waved his right hand vigorously, asking: "You ask me? It's the right time for me to ask you now, how could you be caught by the people of the investigation team?"

This question made Sauer think about it for a while.

"Yes..." Sauer's voice hesitated, and the memory gradually emerged in his mind, "...Berry, he was caught and wanted to ask me for help. I was also surprised at the time. It was the voice that appeared directly in my mind. I guess it's possible that he put something on me without my knowledge."

"It's him again?" Garland crossed his hands on his chest, obviously a little angry, "Shaoer, I didn't know you would trust a stranger so easily. Look what he brought to you?"

After speaking, he looked at Sauer's left hand.

Sauer glanced down and saw a shocking paleness.

"... Of course it's paid." He explained, "... If I help him solve this matter, he promises me and is willing to help me solve the black mist. Well... I can't say it will solve it, but he will help anyway. "

He paused and thought about it carefully.

"I think this deal is a good deal. If the black mist continues to spread, I won't be able to find a solution for a long time with my power. But Burry has something called star magic. It may not be able to solve it, but at least it will be easy. Find the clues."

"Garland, sometimes we need to take some risks. Nothing in this world is easy."

As he spoke, his head lowered a little, almost touching the ground.

"I know, I know, you will find all kinds of reasons to convince yourself." Garland spread his hands, "What about you now? You were about to die just now. Are you always so lucky? Moreover, he himself If I’m caught, I won’t be able to rescue you. If you don’t run away, you will definitely die here.”

"I..." Sauer was stunned for a moment, "...I can't run, I can't use my abilities."

"Of course I know." Garland clenched his hands into fists with an expression of hatred, "Follow me, and I will take you out."

After speaking, he pointed behind him.

Sauer looked along Garland's arm and saw a thumb-width hole between the cracks in the wall.

"What do you mean?" He stretched out his right hand and gestured.

"Yes, come here quickly." Garland walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"Ah?" Sauer frowned.

Garland stood by the hole, turned around and asked, "Come here quickly!"

Sauer looked around and slowly stretched out his hand.

Garland is so confident, maybe as long as I get closer to the hole, my body will become smaller.

With this thought in mind, until his right thumb touched the crack of the wall, his body was still the same size.

"What's going on?" Garland asked puzzled.

"You ask me?" Sauer withdrew his right hand and pointed at his chin.

For a moment, the two fell into silence.

"Where are the Sauer people? Why haven't you come in yet?" A clear voice came from the cave, and then a woman wearing a purple robe appeared at the entrance of the cave. It was Natalie, the mystic.

"He's not getting any younger." Garland sighed.

"Huh?" Natalie said in a lazy voice, "Let me see."

Her eyes swept over Shaoer. When her eyes fell on Shaoer's left hand, her eyes lit up and she said, "Shaoer, get rid of that thing. It's that thing that prevents you from becoming smaller."

That thing?

Sauer looked at his left hand and asked: "This is my left hand. Although... although it has changed its appearance, it can still be used and it is not fake?"

"Get rid of it quickly." Natalie urged.

Sauer looked at Natalie's expression carefully and caught a glimpse of Garland nodding towards him.

"Okay, let me give it a try." He looked at his left hand carefully and groped with his right hand. There was a slight touch from his left hand until he touched the wrist joint. There seemed to be no feeling in his left hand, so he began to turn his left wrist. It started to loosen and seemed to be able to be removed directly.

"Yes, that's it, use a little more force." Natalie urged.

Sauer turned his right hand harder until he heard a click and his left hand was taken off directly.

"Okay, come here quickly!" Garland glanced outside the prison.

Sauer looked at his left hand held by his right hand. He tried to move his left hand and found that it could still obey the command. Out of curiosity, he put his left hand back again.

"What are you doing? Stop wasting time." Garland opened his eyes wide.

Sauer moved his left hand and found that it had no effect. His left hand turned into a detachable limb.

At this moment, heavy footsteps came from outside the prison, as if someone was walking in stone shoes.

"Quick, quick, quick." Natalie shrank into the hole.

"Is it possible?" Sauer removed his left hand and placed it on the ground. Then he walked towards the entrance of the cave. Soon, his body began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before long, he became the same as Garland and Nata. Like Li, only the size of a thumb.

The inaccessible hole between the cracks in the wall became wider.

When Sauer walked into the cave, the light suddenly dimmed a lot, and a winding and narrow road appeared in front of him.

"Follow me." Garland said, taking the lead and walking forward.

Natalie followed Garland.

Sauer glanced back and found that the light outside the cave was warm and pleasant, and even smelled of dew. He looked again at the depths of the cave where Garland went, which was dark and damp, like a tomb.

……

Captain Miranda's face was ashen.

She has only one requirement for her subordinates - to be able to complete the things she arranged, and she does not need to care about other insignificant details.

But now, she promised the prophet a very simple thing - to let a high-level spinner who still has the will to survive live normally, which is not even possible.

This matter can even be regarded as a shame.

"It seems that someone is dissatisfied with me." Miranda glanced back, her eyes still the same as usual, and she even had a smile on her lips, but the interrogator standing behind her shivered all over.

The interrogators standing side by side lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word. They knew that everything about their punishment depended on whether the prisoner named Sauer could survive.

As long as you survive, you can discuss everything, and you can even stay in the investigation team.

If they don't survive, maybe their lives are in danger.

At this moment, in the diagnosis and treatment room.

"He is still persisting." A doctor who was giving emergency treatment felt incredible.

"Although I can't believe it, his vitality is indeed so tenacious. I remember that when I came here, his internal organs had shrunk to an exaggerated level. Without miraculous creation, it would be impossible for him to survive." Another doctor added the alchemy array's Energy replacement allows the medical room to continue to maintain a stable and dust-free environment.

Although it is just a prison, when the investigation team was established, many conditions had been considered, and the investment in medical care was quite high.

"I remember the leader said no matter what the cost." Another person wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I remember Martin, the city lord of Westwood Port, has a relic that can temporarily extend his life. If he can borrow it, the chance of saving him will be greater."

"I went to borrow it a long time ago."

……

"You go back first." Jason said to the defense team members behind him.

What he feared finally happened.

Interrogations are never gentle, and he knows this better. Sometimes special methods are needed.

But when it happened to Sauer, for some reason, he had a feeling that it was retribution.

Ringing coffin.

A relic that can temporarily extend life, the original owner is Martin. As for the temperer who left this relic, it is no longer known, but what is certain is that this temperer has the ability to heal the injuries of others.

The ringing coffin is a rather heavy white sarcophagus and cannot be carried around. But even so, this relic is still priceless. If there is any item that can exceed the value of this relic, for most people, it is probably only A miraculous creation that can directly replace a dead person's life.

In terms of feeding, the requirements for ringing the coffin are not high, as long as it is a corpse within one month of death. However, the feeding time takes a full year to take effect. However, if the dead corpse is a quencher, the time can be shortened. The stronger the Temperator's ability, the more time is shortened.

The members of the investigation team swarmed in and, under the command of a captain, carried the coffin into the cage prison. According to the request, Jason should have gone back, but he was here on behalf of the defense captain Hume and the future city lord of Westwood Port, so he also followed in.

As the door behind him closed, Kraut's words came to mind again.

Help me see how Shaoer is doing. We must let the investigation team save his life. I already have a way to rescue Shaoer...

Jason had never seen Kraut look so distraught, but when he thought of Kraut's experience, he suddenly sympathized with the high-level alchemist in front of him.

It seems that misfortune always goes hand in hand.

Follow the investigation team members all the way to the medical room.

Jason met Captain Miranda. Even though he had just entered, he could feel a strong sense of oppression in the room. It seemed that even the air had solidified. He took two steps forward and looked towards the diagnosis and treatment room. Several experienced The doctor is busy inside.

The situation is not good...

His face was solemn.

"Vice Captain Jason." Miranda turned back with a gentle smile on her lips and her bright blond hair was bright and attractive. "Thank you for sending the coffin. The investigation team is very grateful for your help."

"It should be." Jason smiled back.

"Did Captain Hume's promotion ceremony go smoothly?" Miranda asked with a smile.

Jason thought for a while, nodded slightly, and then asked: "Shaoer, is he okay?"

"Did Captain Hume ask?" Miranda looked calmly.

Jason was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Captain, he is also very concerned about this matter. He said that the black mist is the common enemy of Westwood Port and the investigation team. Even...even if the miners on Stewart Island are not of much value, they are the only ones who can survive from the The miners leaving Stewart Island would do well to observe for a while."

Although Jason tried to use his words as tactfully as possible, the blame in his words could not be eliminated.

Captain Miranda stroked the long hair beside her ears and replied in an apologetic tone: "Captain Hume is right. This matter is a problem for the investigation team."

It was obviously an apology, but Jason felt breathless.

"As far as I know, Vice Captain Jason and the miner named Sauer solved the crisis of the Black Domain Order together. He must be very concerned about his friends. Therefore, if there is no urgent matter, it is better to stay in the investigation team temporarily. , maybe with you here, Sauer can save the day." Miranda turned her head back.

Jason was speechless.

Because of what Miranda said just now, the captain had already told him in advance.

Stay with the investigation team and keep an eye on Sauer.

Suddenly, he had the illusion that the only function of his whole body was to convey words.

……

"Don't be stunned, Shaoer." Garland saw that Shaoer was still standing at the entrance of the cave, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Here we come." Sauer walked forward.

Although the outside of the cave is warm and pleasant, inside the cave is the company of friends.

The three of them walked all the way to the depths.

After walking for a while, Natalie turned back and asked: "By the way, Sauer, how much stronger has your temperer ability become now?"

"Why do you suddenly ask about this?" Shaoer looked confused, but he still answered the question, "A lot stronger, but it should still be 'knowing'? The more I understand, the more I find that the majestic ability has many abilities. A place to develop.”

Knowing is the progress of advanced spinning. Simply understood, it can be thought of as a process of continuous development and research of one's own abilities, which is about the first third of the level.

"It's already exaggerated, your speed." Natalie covered her mouth and snickered, "If I had your speed, I might wake up laughing even in my sleep."

"Whether you are strong or not depends on your opponent." Garland added, "Just like boxing, if you are fighting a child, you don't need any ability. If you are fighting a thin person, do you have any ability?" It does not affect the result. If you are an experienced boxer, you may need ability. Only when dealing with inhuman monsters, you need strong ability, otherwise there is no chance of winning."

After hearing Garland's words, Sauer felt something came to his mind. He looked down at the ground. Even though Natalie was praising him, he still felt that his ability was not strong enough.

The feeling of powerlessness seemed to penetrate deep into my bones.

"You're right, it would be nice if...if I could be stronger."

"I don't want to see those tragedies happen before my eyes again, I just want everything to be..."

He searched for a suitable word to describe it in his mind, and thought for a long time, but to no avail.

"Really? I didn't think much about it. I just wanted to make some money and leave Stewart Island." Garland said thoughtfully, "Take Kerry, Regis, and you with us."

Natalie shook her head, opened her hands, and replied: "Many things seem simple, but are actually very difficult to do. The reason is very simple. If it is easy, such as eating and drinking, then you have already done it." I did it. So, it seems to be a small wish, but it is actually very difficult to realize it. Let me give you an example. Do you know the alchemy array? Circles have a very important position in the alchemy array, but any circle is not A true circle is just a very round circle.”

"I don't understand." Garland shook his head.

"It's normal not to understand. I don't understand either. I once saw an alchemist who spent the rest of his life pursuing the true circle. He kept drawing, and the circles he drew became more and more standard. Everyone even thought he drew circles. The circle itself is the circle itself, but he still thinks that he has not reached... uh... what is it called..." Natalie looked up at the top of the cave, thought for a while, and then said: "Yes... yes, yes, I I remember it, it’s complete!”

She was very excited.

"Complete? It sounds a bit strange." Garland continued to move forward.

"I also asked him what he meant, and he said it was the circle in his heart." Natalie raised her eyebrows.

"Perfection..." Sauer repeated the word, "...yes..."

Countless moments of lost life flashed through his mind, flashes of heartbreaking tragedies, flashes of the morning light illuminating the tombstones on Stewart Island.

"...Perfection, so that everything is in line with your heart."

The surrounding air began to boil.

"This is what I want to do."

"If what Burry said is true, this world is not what it used to be, if Kraut can see Naveen again, and...the words in Stewart's book, what is true and what is false, we Has the world always been like this?"

"There must be a force that can change the entire world, not only the present and future, but also the past. This force is hidden somewhere in this world, and I must find it."

In the humid air, the air is like a flame, igniting light and dispelling the coldness.

Sauer's eyes were firm, his right hand clenched, and his fist trembled from exertion.

"I want to make everything perfect!"

……

"It's not going to work anymore... His body is collapsing. I asked the interrogator before and they almost didn't give him anything to eat. In other words, this guy named Sauer only has air to drink these days." The doctor sighed. He took two steps back and said, "If my guess is correct, it may be his ability, but this thing is like a debt. It only lasts if you borrow and repay it. If the debt keeps accumulating, you only borrow but don't pay it back. Wait until the debt collectors come to your door." After counting the interest, he should be sold as a slave."

"What now?" asked another doctor.

"There is no other way in a short time, right? We can't save the dead." The doctor standing aside dropped his hands to his side.

"How about..." the doctor who had been silent suddenly said, "...let's see what relics he will leave behind?"

Several other doctors were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Considering that there were still people watching outside, they quickly suppressed their smiles.

"Why is it a little hot..." A doctor tugged on his collar, "...Isn't it possible?"

Another doctor looked at the alchemy array responsible for temperature and found no abnormalities.

"Do you feel like something is wrong?" Another doctor just finished saying that he also felt that the temperature in the consulting room was wrong. "It is indeed a bit hot..." He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Look here." The doctor who just told the joke had a serious face and pointed at Sauer's abdomen.

Several other doctors came up and took a closer look.

At first, a few people didn't notice anything strange. Soon, they opened their eyes wide, and they saw that the almost silent internal organs suddenly started to move. Although it was very slight, it was indeed moving.

The temperature in the diagnosis and treatment room rose again, and the alchemy array that controlled the temperature reached its limit, but the doctor had no time to care.

"Isn't this because the blood vessel is broken? Why can the blood flow..." A doctor couldn't help but reach out and touch it. He was surprised to find that there was something wrapped in the blood at the broken position.

"It's air!" shouted another doctor.

"Isn't air...his ability? Is he saving himself?"

"I can't believe that I can actually do this. This ability... to use air to create blood vessels? Oh, why is he the person the investigation team wants? Otherwise, I will definitely accept him as my apprentice."

"You? Are you worthy?"

"Stop making noise, look!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The weak heart began to beat vigorously.

Blood flows regularly in a piece of transparent air, like thick red threads that do not interfere with each other, constantly shuttling through the internal organs, allowing life to move again.

At this moment, it was as if an invisible doctor had taken control of the entire room, using the invisible air as a scalpel to treat the dying wounded in the coffin.

Air can be condensed into tools, and can also be temporarily used to replace necrotic blood vessels. As long as the life system is allowed to operate, life will heal itself.

At this moment, Captain Miranda, who was standing outside the clinic, vaguely felt a force appearing in the clinic. She could not see anything, but her soul could sense that there was something in the clinic, maybe... a soul body. , maybe it is just a prototype now and has no concrete shape yet.

About half an hour later.

A doctor walked out of the consulting room.

"How's the situation?" Jason quickly stepped forward and asked.

The doctor glanced at Jason and then at Commander Miranda.

"Go ahead." Miranda nodded.

"Saul is no longer in danger." The doctor said, and he was relieved to see the two people in front of him. He added: "However, you must be careful not to touch him for at least a week, no, half a month, and definitely not to touch him again. There is no interrogation behavior, otherwise, I can’t guarantee anything.”

Miranda pondered for a few seconds, nodded and replied, "I understand."

The doctor thought for a while and seemed to have made a strong determination. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Commander Miranda, let me tell you the truth. In fact, it was not us who cured Sauer at all. Even if there was a coffin, We have no way. The only one who can really cure him is himself, maybe his ability. If... I mean it's possible. If you think he has no problem and plan to let him go, I hope you can let him go. By learning from us, I believe he will be of great help to the investigation team in the future.”

Jason frowned, surprised at how things turned out.

"You mean?"

He asked subconsciously.

The doctor looked at Jason, looked him up and down, and replied: "Do you know Shaoer? When he wakes up, help me persuade him. You decide the price."

"Huh?" Jason's mouth opened, and his brain seemed to be short-circuited.
