Chapter 433 The Old Hunchback of Hongshi Village (Updated to 77)

The boring problem that Cerrela complained about was solved after two days.

It's not that Gretel's skills have improved by leaps and bounds or made significant progress. In fact, the level of his communication with animals went from 0.5 seconds, to 1 second, to 1.5 seconds, to 2 seconds, and then got stuck.

Or, the mental impact was too great and he was directly knocked out of the spell-casting state. Or, under extreme fear and pain, the heartbeat is racing, the blood pressure is soaring, the whole person is shaking, and Cerela is knocked out of the spellcasting state...

Whether it's a magical attack or a physical attack, in short, relying on Gretel's current ability to communicate with animals, it may be impossible to conduct research smoothly for the time being.

Fortunately, after two days' drive, the team of Elder Gushan met up with a large team of people from another village. In the wilderness, cattle neighed, horses croaked, wheels rumbled, and the savages talked and laughed loudly, making the sky full of noise. After chatting for a long time, Elder Gushan took the elder and leader of the village and came over to introduce Gretel:

"Well, Gretel, this is the leader of Red Stone Village, [White Wolf] Wolfgen, this old guy, [Hunchback] Whitefin, is the spell caster of their village. Hunchback, this is Gretel Nordmark, A servant of the God of Nature, a young genius healer.”

Grete quickly jumped down from the caravan and saluted them one by one. [White Wolf] As the name suggests, Wolfgen people are tall and tall, carrying a huge sword and covered with a white wolf skin. The wolf's mouth was open, its upper jaw was resting on top of his head, and its hind feet had just touched the ground. It was obvious that it was also a giant wolf in life. The wolf looked at Gretel with dark eyes and sharp teeth, which was quite scary.

Grete only glanced at him, then turned his head and looked at the other person. [Hunchback] There is a high bulge on the back of Whitefin's left spine. His left shoulder is high and his right shoulder is low. As a result, his whole body is slightly tilted to the right. Trembling and holding a long white bone staff, Gretel glanced at him and muttered in his mind:

Scoliosis, fibroma, lipoma, hemangioma...

Despite the murmuring, there was still no abnormality on his face, his eyes were clear and his expression was calm. Elder Gushan pulled the hunchback, pointed at Gretel and babbled:

"I fell ill at sea a few days ago and had a terrible stomachache. He cured me. Not only was he cured, he also said that there were worms in my bile. When I took out the bile, it was true! Then, he He said that many people in our village had bugs in their stomachs, and they studied a method and cured us all..."

Gretel gave them a smile befitting his age. Being in the North, it was hard to wear linen robes, it was cold, and the oak staff - ah, I took out the oak staff quickly, swung it in the wind, and turned it into an eyebrow-level stick, leaning on the ground. I don’t usually use this thing, so it’s really hard to think of it…

Seeing the five green leaves on the head of the stick, the expressions of the white wolf and the hunchback instantly became friendly. The hunchback held a bone staff in one hand, and stretched out his other hand to shake hands with Gretel, even bending his waist and liver:

"Mr. Nordmark, it's an honor to meet you! Please take care of me along the way. My abilities are limited. If there are any injuries in the team, I have to trouble you to take action..."

"Hey, you are an experienced elder, I want to ask you for advice!"

After the business exchange ended, Elder Gushan cautiously introduced Cerira, saying only that she was an elf who traveled to the North and was traveling with Gretel. After chatting, the two parties parted ways. Cerira watched them walk away from a distance. She probably couldn't hear the conversation anymore. She turned around and caught Gretel:

"Gretel! What's going on with that hunchback? Have you ever seen this kind of thing? Can you cure it?"

She spoke quickly and quickly, and a series of questions came out in rapid succession. Before the first one had time to answer, the next one had already followed immediately. Grete wanted to answer at first, but then simply shut up. When Cerira finished asking the question in one breath, she smiled bitterly:

"...I don't know either."

"How could you not know?!" Cerela shouted all of a sudden. How could Gretel not know? That girl who was pregnant with a ghost, the bug in the savage elder's guts, Gretel knew it just by looking at it and touching it!

Her voice was so loud that the men and women around her, even [White Wolf] Wolfgen, who had already walked away, turned to look at them. Grete quickly pulled her back into the car and whispered:

"I really don't know! I haven't checked it! - Serira, do you remember that before, I used magic to look and look again and again, and did it several times before I knew it? That elder, I only knew I shook hands with him and said a few words, how do I know what’s going on with him?”

"Oh... okay." Cerela pouted in disappointment. However, she soon became excited again, holding on to the shaft of the carriage to jump down:

"Then I'll pull him over! Let you check him out! Then you'll know! Grete! You also want to cure him, right?"

"--do not!"

Gretel threw herself forward in the carriage and fell to the ground, finally catching her in time. He lay on the carriage board, stretched out his arms as hard as he could to grab Serila's clothes, and said hurriedly:

"If he wants to be cured, let him do it on his own! There is no reason to drag people away! Don't go!"

"……Why?"

Cerira relaxed her body and slowly sat back in the car. Her face was filled with doubts, and she looked up and down at Gretel as if she didn't recognize him:

"Why don't you let me drag him here? Gretel, it's obvious that you never get bored every time you heal someone..."

"But that also requires the patient to want to be treated." Grete climbed up from the carriage board, took two steps back to make room for her, and sat cross-legged. Seek medical treatment. You have to ask for medical treatment. Doctors cannot come to your door rashly. Da Lala asked: You are sick, do you want me to treat you?

Seeing that Serila still looked confused, Grete thought for a while and said seriously:

"Celera, we healers provide help to patients, but never use our will to replace their will. They need to make the final decision whether they want to be treated or not, what treatment method to use, and how much to spend. The body It belongs to them, and we cannot and cannot make decisions for them."

"But we are helping them!" Cerela said anxiously. She looked serious and a little aggrieved:

“How could it be wrong to help others?”

Ah, medical ethics is really difficult to explain to a silver dragon from another world. Gretel pondered for a moment:

"For example, Cerela, there is a king who is seriously ill and wants to live. There is no other way to save him but to resort to the Great Wishing Spell - but the cost of the wishing spell must be his. His family, his wife and children, all his citizens were sold into slavery. So, if he gives up treatment at this time, can we forcefully activate the Great Wish Technique and then ask him for money?"

"Well……"

"So, in reality, the medical methods we adopt are actually like this." Grete lowered his head and used [Mage's Trick] to draw a circle on the floor of the carriage:

"This is the best medical treatment for this kind of injury," a red circle;

"This is the medical method that I, as a healer, can use - of course I can't do those high-level treatments," a yellow circle;

"Then this one is the medical method the patient wants to adopt based on his wishes and abilities," a green circle. The three circles are in the same shape, and the very small part where the three overlap is painted in eye-catching black by Grete:

"You see, this part is what we can actually do."

"It's so troublesome..." Cerela slowly lowered her head. Grete also sighed secretly: In reality, there are too few things doctors can do. Even, sometimes, the three large circles cannot be merged together at all!

As a doctor back then, all he could do was study and research as hard as he could to expand and expand his scope of abilities. Then, I look up to the leaders and researchers in various fields, hoping that they will expand the scope of treatment methods just a little bit more...

The carriage was silent for a moment. Serila looked down at the small piece in the center of the three large circles, and her heart was filled with panic. I still wanted to say a few words, but very far outside the carriage, a shout suddenly burst out:

"Elder! Elder, what's wrong with you! - Elder Gushan! Help!!!"

Grete suddenly pushed against the wall, jumped out of the carriage, and ran out without looking back.

"...and you still want people to come to the door themselves!"
