Chapter 567 The Judge
The big fish was bitten by the "fish hook".
Thor waved his hand and asked Xiaozao to take it to the laboratory on the underground floor. He picked up the mushroom chair and walked towards the lake.
"Long time no see, Gagagu." He first greeted his old acquaintance, then looked at the new second-level wizard, "Hello."
"Hello." The second-level wizard on the opposite side actually nodded in return, "Wizard Thor."
Thor secretly looked at this strange second-level wizard. The wizard robe on him looked more complicated and solemn, not quite like the local clothing style of the State continent.
Gagagu quickly introduced Thor, "Wizard Thor, this is the second-level wizard, Lord Justin. He came to see you, uh... uh..."
Gaga Gu seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Justin took over what Gaga said and stated his purpose directly, "I would like you to help me heal the injuries and contamination on my body."
"I have done some research on pollution removal, but you are a second-level wizard after all. My methods and means may not meet your needs."
"Also, I'm not very good at healing injuries. I think since you're a second-level wizard, you should be better at healing magic than me."
The clinic has not been open for half a year, so Saul wants to keep this new patient.
Just make your strengths known in advance and don’t raise expectations too high, lest the business turns hostile.
"I've heard about your abilities from Gagagu, but my situation is indeed special."
Justin paused mid-sentence and glanced sideways at Gaga Drum.
"Haha, the two adults talk first. I'm going to find Butler Hope to hand over the goods." Gaga Gu was very tactful. He left on his own, leaving the space for Thor and Justin.
After Gaga drums away, Justin slowly takes off his metal mask.
This person's face is actually sunken!
The nose bridge that should have been high was deeper than the eye socket. It was as if the entire nose bridge had been cut off and then the wound was hit hard with a hammer.
And in the deepest part of the nose depression, there are a few yellow-green spots.
"I'm from the Nephrite continent, and I entered the Borderlands five years ago. To be more precise, I escaped here."
Justin's voice was flat and his eyes were calm, as if he was telling someone else's experience.
"I am a wanted criminal who has been issued an elimination order by the Tribunal."
The Tribunal, Saul had heard of it, but the removal order…
He thought of the wizard Jasim who had killed two wizards with a black blade and then committed suicide.
The other party was from the Arbitration Court.
Seeing the change in Thor's eyes, Justin knew that the other party had heard of the name of the Arbitration Tribunal.
"You don't have to worry about angering the Inquisition by treating me. They won't enter the Borderlands, which is why I ventured in here."
Jasim’s words are very informative.
The Inquisition does not enter No Man's Land.
Why? There are no barriers or checkpoints here, and even wizard apprentices and ordinary people can enter and exit at will - as long as they don't encounter those fatal dangers.
It seems that this place is called No Man's Land not only because of the pollution and terrible rules it contains, but there must be other reasons.
Justin paused for a moment, giving Thor enough time to think, before continuing.
"I was injured by the Judge of the Tribunal while fleeing. My metal-solidified armor was almost destroyed. After I entered the No Man's Land, the wound was corroded by the pollution here.
Over the past few years, I have tried everything to treat my injuries and control pollution, but my body is still reaching its limit very quickly. If there is no solution, I am afraid I will not live for more than a year. "
Maybe it was due to his personality or because he had already despaired, but Justin remained calm when he talked about his impending death.
This made Thor admire his magnanimity.
Few people can remain so calm when feeling death slowly approaching.
"Wizard Thor, your reputation has spread throughout this area, but to be honest, few people dare to come to you for treatment."
Thor stroked his chin and readily admitted, "Indeed."
"To clean up the pollution is to expose your weakness to others. Normal people won't come to you."
"That's right." Thor nodded.
However, being a doctor is just a cover. If too many people come to him for help, it will be a problem.
"But I'm different. I've tried almost every possible method. The remaining methods are either too dangerous or simply impossible. So I came to you. This is probably my last attempt."
Thor did not make any promises. "Can you let me see your injuries and contamination first?"
"Okay, but I need to take some precautions," Justin said frankly.
Saul agreed.
Then, Justin chanted a spell silently, and a golden metallic liquid appeared under his feet.
This liquid extended in all directions under the feet of the two people, forming an equilateral triangle, and then grew diagonally upward from each side, eventually forming a closed regular tetrahedron.
Thor observed the fluctuations of magic as Justin performed his spell from beginning to end.
He found that the opponent's spellcasting technique was heavy and steady, but there was a hint of tremor and uneasiness hidden in the fluctuations of his magic power, which was as worrying as an ant nest in a dam.

Then, Thor stepped forward to check Justin's injuries, but the latter suddenly turned around and sat on the ground.
Then he slowly lifted the scalp at the back of his head.
A harsh sound like tearing tape was heard.
Thor tried to remain calm and look more professional.
The skin on the back of Justin's head is fake skin that has been processed by witchcraft. And his back of the head to the neck is all made of metal.
It's not Klee's metallic skin, but real hard, cold metal.
However, this metal, which should have been smooth and shiny, was covered with a thick layer of yellow-green impurities.
Irregular shape and rough surface.
Thor pulled out a glass rod and swept it lightly, and saw some small pieces falling down.
He quickly caught it in a petri dish.
"If you don't mind, could I run a little test experiment on these first?"
"Of course." Justin raised his hand, and his nails turned into a sharp metal knife. He scraped off a piece of metal surface with impurities for Thor.
Thor noticed that the back of the opponent's metal head was still metal, and he wondered if traditional flesh and blood still existed.
These newly exposed metal layers are smooth and bright, but after a few seconds of exposure to the air, some dull colors begin to appear on them, and soon turn to the familiar yellow-green color.
The surface also began to become rough.
Thor compared the petri dish with the new substance growing on the other person's head, and they looked the same.
"Some of it looks like rusted metal," said Thor.
Justin covered his scalp again and stood up, but still with his back to Thor.
"Yes, I majored in metal witchcraft. The description you used of rust is actually very vivid. I am now rusting quickly, non-stop, and repeatedly. And this phenomenon has spread from my nose to my entire head."
When his back was turned to Thor, Justin's eyes revealed a little vulnerability.
But when he turned around, the slightest bit of fragility in his eyes was completely concealed.
Thor wasn't staring at Justin anymore.
He has already started studying the properties of the substances in the petri dish.
He had already seen that this wizard, who appeared calm and composed on the surface, was actually very proud in his heart.
Although he could bravely reveal his most vulnerable physical side, he was unwilling to reveal even a little bit of his psychological vulnerability.
In this case, Thor naturally had to politely avoid it.
