Emma chatted with her mother in the palace until late at night, and then had a good sleep. The next morning, with her mother's help, she dressed up and put on a pink and purple maiden's dress. Then, she rode a white horse and happily went to the inn not far from the palace.
As soon as she entered, she heard Kail say, "Teacher went out."
Emma didn't think too much about it and just asked subconsciously, "Where did he go?"
Kail replied frankly, "In the morning, there was a very beautiful girl waiting for him outside, and then the two of them left together."
As soon as Kail said this, Alice twisted his waist hard. He looked back, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Why did you twist me, Alice?"
Alice pursed her lips at Emma, and Kail turned his head to size her up and was shocked. At this moment, Emma's gloomy expression was a stark contrast to her bright and cheerful expression just now.
"Just the second day in the capital, and he's already found a beautiful girl." Emma chuckled coldly. "No, I have to keep him under tighter control, or I'll squeeze him dry."
Both Alice and Kail felt a little frightened when they heard this.
Liang Lidong and Katie walked down the street. At this time, Katie's appearance had changed again. She no longer had a side braid, but wavy shoulder-length hair.
It had to be said that when a woman changed her hairstyle, she looked like a completely different person. If what Liang Lidong saw yesterday afternoon was a murderous female professional, and what he saw at night was a pretty girl from a humble family, then what he saw now was a graceful, high-class nightingale in revealing clothes.
"You're really fickle." As he walked, Liang Lidong turned his head to look at Katie's outfit.
Katie smiled coquettishly, as if she were a real nightingale. "This is a necessary professional quality for an Assassin. I'm very curious now. How did you treat my mother? "
Liang Lidong turned his head and slowly said, "I also want to talk to you about this matter. But we need a quiet place. After all, the treatment method for your mother is a bit scary. I need to ask your opinion. "
Katie looked at Liang Lidong with disdain for a while. Then she led Liang Lidong through the city, turning left and right. Finally, they entered a small alley, found a bungalow with few people, and entered a small house.
The interior was very clean. It was obvious that someone cleaned it every day. Liang Lidong even caught a whiff of a faint fragrance that was identical to Kati's.
"Alright, let's do it here," Katie said. He began to unbutton his jacket.
When Liang Lidong saw this scene, he was a little surprised. "What are you doing?"
"Don't you just want to collect a deposit in advance?" Katie smiled coldly and unbuttoned her jacket, revealing the milky-white cashmere jacket underneath. The curves of her breasts, which were neither too big nor too small, seemed to be tickling the heart of the beholder.
Liang Lidong snapped his fingers and spurted out a mist of magic power. Kati subconsciously jumped back. At the same time, two daggers appeared in her hands. She stared at Liang Lidong with a pair of scorching eyes. She was very wary.
"I'm not interested in your body." With a cold face, Liang Lidong continued, "Now let's talk about treating your mother."
Katie still looked distrustful, but her expression softened a lot. "Then why do we have to go to a place where there's no one?"
"Because I'm afraid that you'll be too excited after hearing what I have to say."
Katie took a deep breath. "Sorry, I misunderstood you. Just say what you want to say. I don't think anyone will come here."
Liang Lidong, however, saw through it. This woman had always been distrustful of him and even resistant to him. But that was still fine. After all, they had been enemies not long ago. If Kati hadn't been so eager to treat her mother, she would've run away a long time ago. Or she would've met Liang Lidong on the battlefield.
"Your mother's illness is the Life Curse. I think you should understand that. I think you also know enough about the horrors of this disease. "
Kati nodded. The Life Curse was the only disease that magic couldn't cure. It could only be suppressed at best.
"I won't explain the cause and pathology of the Life Curse to you." Liang Lidong hinted for her to put on her jacket with his eyes. Then he continued, "But in terms of treatment, I have to tell you something very important. You'd better not be excited when you hear it."
Kati put on her jacket and said casually, "For my mother, I can even sell my body. Nothing can surprise me anymore."
Liang Lidong simply smiled. "The only way to cure the Life Curse is to cut open your mother's belly and then remove the flesh that is infected with the Life Curse."
Hardly had he finished speaking when he tilted his head, and a dagger brushed past his ear.
Kati looked at him coldly and said in a voice as cold as the north wind in December, "You want to kill my mother? I've never heard of cutting open a person's belly to cure a disease. "
"That's why I need to inform you in advance."
Liang Lidong understood why she had such a big reaction. It was because healing spells were too useful. They could cure most diseases and injuries, and even regrow severed limbs.
But the more that was so, the slower the development of conventional medicine was. This world barely developed a systematic understanding of the human body, not to mention anatomy. Only the elves knew some simple herbal remedies.
The Life Curse was actually a magic "cancer." Its pathogenesis was very similar to cancer on Earth. In the game, many people with medical backgrounds were also playing this virtual game. They had established systematic magic herbology and magic anatomy concepts, which were also shared among the players.
Liang Lidong browsed the forum whenever he was free, so he had learned a lot about anatomy. Although he couldn't perform surgeries in reality, in the game, with his excellent Coordination as a Divine Noble and his control over magic, he could perform common surgeries on his own, and the Life Curse happened to be one of them.
Katie looked at Liang Lidong, her eyes growing colder.
Liang Lidong, on the other hand, was unconcerned. "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I'll just leave. Also, if you show up in front of Emma again and try to harm her, I won't be as nice as I was this time. "
After saying that, Liang Lidong was about to leave, but when he reached the door, Kati's shout came from behind him.
"If you swear in the name of Goddess Woking that you cut open my mother's belly to cure her, I'll believe you."
"That's not a problem."
Liang Lidong turned around and raised three fingers. "I swear in the name of a believer of Goddess Woking that I, Beta, cut open Katie's mother's belly not to hurt her, but to cure her."
There were gods in this world. When a believer swore an oath in the name of their god, it would first be verified by the god's divine power. Then, there would be a backup with the god. Once a believer broke his oath, the consequences would be severe.
Therefore, generally speaking, not many people were willing to swear in the name of a god because it was very dangerous. Even if they didn't mean to break their oath, once the enemy found out about their oath, they could easily use this to break their oath, and there would be unimaginable consequences.
A faint golden light descended from the sky and wrapped around three of Liang Lidong's fingers before disappearing.
Katie was slightly surprised to see this. Generally speaking, when a believer swore an oath, a god's contract would not appear so quickly. It would take a period of time, ranging from half a day to several days. For this man in front of her to have a god's contract appear as soon as he swore an oath, it was most likely that the god had been watching.
God's Beloved? Katie's beautiful eyebrows raised, and she said, "In that case, I believe you."
Liang Lidong chuckled, thinking that it was quite troublesome to make this woman believe him. But to be exact, it was Goddess Woking's fault. If she hadn't wanted him to let Kati join the church, things would have been much simpler.
The two of them arrived at Katie's home. Katie's mother was resting in her room, and Liang Lidong threw out a Hypnosis scroll to make her sleep deeper.
Then, Liang Lidong threw the entire bed into the space of Mystra's Mansion and dragged Katie in by force.
Because Katie had experience with Teleportation several times, she wasn't afraid when she entered the space of Mystra's Mansion. She was just a little surprised because she could see that this was a fixed space, and there was even furniture in it.
Then, she looked around and found that she could see the situation in the house through the space.
"This is your personal space?" Katie was surprised.
Liang Lidong took out a dozen magic scrolls from his Backpack: Disease Removal, Body Fortification, Hemostasis … and so on. Then, he took out a fruit knife and slapped a Sharpness scroll onto it.
At this moment, the fruit knife became a sharp weapon.
Although Sharpness could slightly increase the lethality of a weapon, it actually didn't have much effect in a battle between professionals. This was because while Sharpness increased lethality, it also made the weapon fragile and vulnerable to damage. In a battle, if a weapon was damaged, it would be a fatal matter.
Liang Lidong lifted the hem of the old man's clothes, revealing the yellow skin of his abdomen. Then, he took a slight breath and cut open the old man's abdomen with the fruit knife. Then, the two magic scrolls, Hemostasis and Disease Removal, worked at the same time.
Katie was observing this strange space again at this moment. She had no idea that Liang Lidong would act so quickly.
When she saw that her mother's abdomen had been sliced open, and the bright red internal organs could still be seen through the gap, she was so frightened that she lost her mind, and two daggers appeared in her hands immediately.
