Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages-Chapter 140 - Heard Clearly
140 Heard Clearly
“Insolent human.”
After saying this, the Elf turned around and left. She passed by Fang Ping without looking at him.
Fang Ping waited for her to leave the treatment center before walking out. He did not want to be accused of following her secretly.
Disrespectful? She wasn’t much better. The double standards were a little obvious.
He sold the leather bag back to the stall owner and went back to look for Qing Niao and Andre. They had already packed their things and were standing at the entrance of the treatment center, waiting for Fang Ping to return.
The greater meaning of the treatment center was to correct the bones and clean up the bone dregs. The actual healing of the wound actually did not take much time.
Of course, there were also some people who were not that rich and could not afford a large number of healing spells. They could only combine healing potions and healing spells with their own recovery ability to slowly recover.
Just like how Andre had just entered the school and was tricked in the arena and had his leg broken.
If it wasn’t for Jin Dafu’s help, Andre might have to lie in the treatment courtyard for a month if he couldn’t afford such a high treatment fee.
“Follow me. It’s not far from here.” Fang Ping led the way. Andre walked very steadily. It looked like the injuries on his body had almost healed.
Moreover, Fang Ping had experienced Andre’s clothes before. He could not even lift them. However, when he saw that Andre could move freely as if he was weightless, it was really exaggerated.
On the way, Fang Ping mentioned that he had just gone to look for Cooke.
“Do you think this is reliable? The Divine Shock Skill Crystal is also quite expensive.”
“Divine Shock is indeed quite rare. I don’t pay much attention to Forbidden Spellcasters’ skills. This is probably similar to the defense of our entire army. It’s a rare defensive skill among many offensive skills.”
“This is one of the rare offensive skills among the many defensive skills. The price won’t be low.”
Qing Niao said, “Fang Ping, you want to learn the Divine Shock?
“You can only learn four skills in Class 2. Your physique is not good, and your summoned creatures are so strong. I think it’s better to learn defensive skills.”
“Qing Niao is right. From the Class 2 onwards, you have to be careful with your skills. You can’t learn them casually.”
“It’s fine. If it doesn’t work, I’ll sell it. I don’t have to worry about selling this thing.”
“Yes, but then again, this mission of yours is not easy to do. For example, the Flowing Fire Lava Fish that attacked William previously, even if it’s only Ordinary-grade, it won’t be easy to kill it in that environment.”
Fang Ping nodded. “Yes, I’ll go take a look at the Lava World tomorrow.”
“I’m going to Blazing Flame Tower tomorrow, so I won’t go with you.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“Don’t go. Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re going to do. You just want to use the Flame Rock.”
“My… My recovery ability is relatively strong. I’m almost healed.”
“You’re better now? Do you want to die? Rest for two more days.”
“The absorption efficiency of the Lava World is higher than here, and the side effects are relatively smaller…”
“Qing Niao, do you really want to die?”
“Andre… this is my chance. I—I don’t want to miss it.”
“Forget it. If you die, I’ll collect your corpse.”
“Thank you.”
Fang Ping walked in front and listened to their conversation behind him.
He said nothing.
He headed to the Dog Head Gate of Fire Dragon City.
At the city gate, the guards of the Elf City Lord were still standing guard.
It was eight o’clock in the morning. The sky was already bright, but the sun had yet to rise.
Walking on the streets, it had only been four days since the last time he shouted that Chen Long had returned. However, the feeling he gave off was worlds apart.
There were still not many pedestrians on the street, but at least there were people. A few women were gathered together to chat, and children were running around the street.
Some of the doors were half-closed. There were busy figures inside, voices, and some smoke.
It was the smell of life.
However, the children running and fooling around on the street were all wrapped in cloth strips. Some were wrapped around their hands, some were wrapped around their bodies, and some were wrapped around most of their heads.
A group of children who were not even ten years old looked like injured people who had just left the battlefield. It looked a little strange.
“Fang Ping, are they like me?”
As Qing Niao spoke, he raised his arm. It was clean and white, with muscles, but the lines were not obvious.
The bloodstains from yesterday were no longer there.
The Self-healing characteristic was like a piece of eraser, wiping away all traces.
These children did not have any self-healing characteristics. Were they also affected by the fire poison?
Fang Ping still remembered the woman kneeling in front of Qing Niao. He wondered if her child was doing well.
Qing Niao clenched her fists angrily. “I understand! That Claude is not worthy of being a commander! He! He’s a bad person.”
Fang Ping asked, “What do you understand?”
“The energy of the Flame Rocks contains fire poison. He should be using these children to absorb fire poison, but they are not Professionals and can’t absorb energy. It’s equivalent to using these children to filter the energy.”
Qing Niao said angrily, but it lowered its voice because there were a few children not far away.
Fang Ping sighed.
A human filter?
But would these adults agree? Wouldn’t they resist?
Soon, Fang Ping knew.
After walking a little further, a few aunties leaned against the wall and chatted. When they saw Fang Ping and Qing Niao from afar, they pointed and said, “Look, they’re Professionals. My son is about to become a Professional like them.”
“You’re bragging. Your son’s body is so weak. Not to mention the guards of the Fire Dragon Frontier Fortress, even the City Defense Army of Snow City can’t enter.”
“His body is weak because he hasn’t recovered from his injuries. I’ve gotten some meat these two days to nourish his body. He will definitely be able to enter the city guards . When he enters, he’ll be half a Professional!”
“Then when the time comes, you have to give my son some pointers. Every time he enters the inner city, he’s lazy and doesn’t come back injured at all. I’m so angry!”
“Hahaha! Of course!”
Their words were like loudspeakers, and Fang Ping heard them clearly.
Combined with what he had encountered previously, Fang Ping could probably consolidate the reasons for the chaos in Fire Dragon City.
Nothing would appear in isolation. There must be many factors behind it.
In terms of geographical location, Fire Dragon City was basically an isolated small world. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was relatively safe and did not pose any external threat.
Economically, merchants and mercenaries had heavy taxes and relied mainly on self-sufficiency for supplies.
Culturally, there was little external communication and information. There were basically no entertainment facilities and spiritual life.
However, in an environment like Fire Dragon City, it was very difficult to replenish energy. They basically relied on Flame Rocks.
With every additional Professional, the others would get less energy, so they would definitely control the intake of Professionals.
Fire Dragon City seemed to be promoting that one could increase their physical fitness by enduring fire poison and eventually become a Professional.
Even if this behavior was extremely inhumane, in order to achieve a hierarchy and escape the heavy labor, countless parents were still willing to send their children to the inner city.
Fang Ping sighed again. He was really lucky to be able to go to Elf City.
