Chapter 400 Disruption
Hearing this voice, the boy jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, looking towards the gate in shock and disbelief, not expecting them to find this place.
"Humph, wouldn't it be better if you just handed over the money earlier? It made me have to make this trip in person."
"You didn't expect that we could find this place, thanks to your 'good friend', hahahaha——"
Against the faint light from outside the door, two tall thugs were holding wooden sticks, casting long black shadows that enveloped the boy and girl in the room.
As one of the rioters said this, a young man with a bruised face and torn clothes was thrown in and fell heavily to the ground.
"You are...Bhutto?!"
When he saw the face of the boy falling to the ground, Landon couldn't help but exclaim.
"Lanton, I'm sorry..."
The boy lying on the ground moved, stammered, and didn't dare to look at Landon's face.
"Oh, there's an ugly guy at home, but I'm in a good mood today, so I'll play with you and let you see what a real man is!"
At this time, the other villain had already noticed the sickly girl in the room who was holding the fire stick tightly and looking at them with a vigilant face, and a strong evil look appeared in his eyes.
Although the ugly birthmark on her left cheek was a bit disgusting, he hadn't touched a woman for a long time, so even if a goat was in front of him now, he would probably think it was pretty.
"I won't let you touch her! Leah, run out the back door now!"
Seeing that the two thugs' eyes turned to his sister, the boy became anxious. He picked up another whole piece of hard black bread that he was going to save for tomorrow's breakfast and was ready to fight the two thugs to the death.
But how could a teenager who had not yet fully grown be a match for two adult thugs?
"snort--"
In just a few seconds, the young man was hit hard on the arm by a stick. With a groan of pain, the black bread in his hand fell to the ground.
Seeing that the boy had no weapon, another thug swung a powerful punch from the side, hitting the boy in the face.
The latter only felt his head go dizzy, and a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter and spicy tastes suddenly surged up to the tip of his nose. Bright red blood gushed out and spilled on his tattered clothes.
After being hit, the young man staggered as if he was drunk, fell to the ground unsteadily, and then he started punching and kicking like a storm.
The boy, who had no ability to fight back, could only instinctively protect his head and desperately endure the severe pain in his body.
However, in a place that no one in the room noticed, when the black amulet was stained with the boy's blood, a hidden light suddenly flashed.
Originally, no one should have noticed all this, but under the watchful eye of Avis's high-level mental power, the seemingly hidden changes in the pendant did not escape his sight at all.
Watching all this, in Avis's perception, the fate that favored the young man had become extremely active and was in a state of being ready to explode at any time.
If he had not appeared, the next plot would have been that the two thugs beat up the boy, and then took turns to attack the girl in front of the boy.
But at the critical moment, the young man was angry and desperate, and due to the strong mental fluctuations, he activated his golden finger, and then burst out to save himself and his sister, completing a classic heroic biography opening plot.
However, at this point, Avis no longer planned to continue according to the original script.
As a prophet, he now has to leave his first trace in the boy's story.
So, taking advantage of the moment when Landon hadn't exploded yet, the two thugs' movements suddenly froze, like flies trapped in amber.
The pain in his body suddenly disappeared. The boy opened his eyes in confusion, and was bewildered when he saw the strange look of the two thugs standing completely still.
But at this moment, a voice coming from outside the door dispelled his doubts.
"Are you all right?"
The dim interior of the room suddenly lit up, and a young man dressed as a traveling wizard appeared at the door of the shed. A bright white ball of light floated beside him, making his face look soft and glorious.
After taking a look at the situation in the room, the young man made a hand gesture, and two light green life-restoring orbs appeared beside him and merged into the two young men lying on the ground.
It was visible to the naked eye that as the magic light fell, all kinds of scars on the two people's bodies disappeared immediately, as if they had never been injured.
Surprised by this magical scene, Landon was stunned and stared at Avis blankly, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Then I will take these two people with me."
Seeing that the young man remained silent, Avis didn't care. He smiled and used his mental power to take the two thugs and leave.
"Please, please wait a moment, respected Master Mage!"
Seeing that Avis was about to leave, the boy named Landon suddenly reacted. After quickly looking at his sister, he gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of Avis, and spoke in a trembling voice.
"Sir, please save my sister. She has suddenly contracted a strange disease and she is still so young.
If you are willing to help, I can give you all my savings... No, I am also willing to be your servant and be at your disposal, just asking you to heal her."
Landon had seen this before. People who suffered from crystallization disease would become more and more crystallized over time, and eventually die as the crystallized tissue spread to the heart or head.
Even if you risk heavy bleeding and ruthlessly dig out those crystals, the result will be the same: new crystals will emerge from the body surface again.
After listening to the boy's somewhat incoherent request, Avis was silent for a moment and then sighed softly.
"That's crystallization disease, kid. It's caused by a new natural disaster. There's no particularly good solution for now, and there's nothing I can do about it."
As he spoke, in front of Landon's somewhat disappointed gaze, he suddenly changed the subject.
"However, I am also very curious about the operation mode of this new magical disease. You don't have to become my servant. If you don't mind, you can bring your sister to No. 14 Marigold Street to find me in a few days.
I'm going to open an alchemy shop there, where I can do some research on your sister's symptoms and maybe find a cure -"
"Really? Thank you, sir!..."
After leaving the shed under Landon's grateful gaze, Avis looked up at the sky, sensing the sudden increase of more than ten units of fate feedback, and became silent for a while.
Detonating the Eternal Core was the decision he made at that time.
Then, it seems that he should bear the consequences of this decision.
