Beasts contend

Amid bursts of cheers, Fan Dong put down the drumstick.The failure of the first sacrificial ceremony was as expected, but the first drummer's drumsticks turned out to be unexpected.The first drummer had a sudden emergency. Although he was safe and sound after rescue, he was no longer qualified for the position of the first drummer.

Somewhere, it seemed that something pushed Fan Dong to the front of the stage.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The anxious voice was particularly abrupt in the joyful and encouraging atmosphere, and the same impatience came from the north and the south respectively, the south was David and others whom Fan Dong was familiar with, and the people from the north were strangers to Fan Dong.

Fan Dong frowned, and looked north first, and saw an old guy with a messy beard appearing in front of him, his armor was crooked, his collar was not turned up properly, and he looked sloppy.Then look at the cloudy eyeballs, mumbling mouth, and alcohol-smelling body odor, no matter how you look at it, you are an old alcoholic.

Fan Dong hates old drunks the most.He turned his gaze to David and the others with disgust.

David and the blonde came with Arthur.

Along the way, they heard people running around telling each other that something very miraculous had happened on the plain.The plain of death, barren of grass, has returned to life again!Oh, it must be the favor of the God of the Earth!

This new news has the blonde beauty figuring out the way forward.

They rushed to the plain before the end of the sacrifice.

They saw Fan Dong just put down the drumstick.

Is there anything surprising about this little Highness?

Just as the blond beauty was thinking, Arthur had already plopped and knelt down in front of Fan Dong: "Save my grandpa, Your Highness Colin, please save my grandpa." He kowtowed heavily, "Please, Colin Your Highness, I was wrong before, please help me."

Fan Dong was a little taken aback.

Arthur was always proud, but at this moment he was shrouded in a deep sense of despair.If it weren't for the extreme pain, he wouldn't have chosen to kneel in front of the nobleman he despises the most to ask for help.His eyes became serious: "Is the blood python's bile useless?"

Arthur already knew Fan Dong's ability, and he was not surprised to hear that he explained his purpose of killing the blood python.There were two lines of tears on his face: "It's useless, Your Highness, it's useless at all, they lied to me, the blood python's gallbladder can't be detoxified at all, it's useless at all."

Fan Dong said: "No, it can detoxify." The blood python is a high-level beast, not only has a high-grade crystal nucleus, but also has a strong detoxification effect of the gallbladder, and can relieve the toxicity of ordinary poisons.If it didn't work, either Arthur himself used it wrong, or Grandpa Arthur wasn't poisoned at all.

Seeing that Arthur is in such a hurry, Grandpa Arthur's situation may be a bit dangerous.

Fan Dong turned over and sat on the winged horse, and said to Arthur: "Come on."

The Cerberus was fighting the Red Fire Dragon, but when it heard Fan Dong summoning the Winged Horse, it immediately turned around and ran towards him.It exposed its back to the Red Fire Dragon, but the Red Fire Dragon was not at all happy to find the opponent's weakness. On the contrary, it felt the provocation of the Cerberus again!

This damned weak little dog, how dare he turn around and leave in the middle of a fight?

The Red Fire Dragon stretched out his palm and slapped the Cerberus heavily.The hellhound let out a muffled yelp in pain, and howled.

Fan Dong felt very distressed, and ran up to rescue the Cerberus. He wanted to scold Chi Huolong, but then remembered that he handed over the Cerberus.He endured it without opening his mouth, stroking the Cerberus to soothe the wounded place.Feeling Fan Dong's consolation, the Cerberus woke up immediately. It rubbed against Fan Dong's arms reluctantly, broke away from Fan Dong's arms, jumped off the ground, and walked up to the Red Fire Dragon with its head drooping, as if it was facing the Red Fire Dragon. What did the fire dragon say.

Red Fire Dragon turned his head angrily, ignoring it.

The Cerberus walked around to the Red Fire Dragon again, as if sincerely apologizing.

Only then did the Red Fire Dragon squint at the Cerberus, spread its paws, grabbed the Cerberus, and flew into the air.

Edward said: "The Red Fire Dragon will take it out to practice." As long as it is not on an expedition, Edward has never needed to use the Red Fire Dragon, and the Red Fire Dragon can move freely.

Fan Dong was very reluctant, but this was the choice of the Cerberus. He could only turn around and climb on the winged horse, inviting Arthur to ride back to the capital with him.

Arthur was a little hesitant, but thinking of his grandfather who was in danger, he gritted his teeth and got on the horse, sitting behind Fan Dong.

Fan Dong waved to the blond beauty: "Kathy, David, let's go back first." After speaking, he let the winged horse take off before Edward lost his temper.

Hahaha, Edward doesn't have a mount anymore, so he can't catch up!

Edward came back to his senses, he was angry and funny at the same time.How could he miss the slightly smug expression on Fan Dong's face, the little bastard said everything was over, but in fact he still cared about it, otherwise he wouldn't take pleasure in pissing him off on purpose.

Thinking of this, Edward felt an inexplicable sweetness in his heart.Since Fan Dong cared, and he cared, how could he treat the past together as if it never happened?

Even if he can't get back the memories of the past, they can start over.

Edward had just made up his mind when he met a pair of sharp eyes.Edward was taken aback, and stepped forward to say hello: "Duke Hoberg."

The duke was also a brave man back then. His father said: "If Duke Hoberg hadn't been seriously injured like His Majesty the King, there would be no chance for me to stand out in the empire."

In his memory, his father has never been proud of his own prestige and prestige, because his father sincerely believes that His Majesty the King he is loyal to is the most outstanding and bravest in the world, and those who follow His Majesty the King are also the best. They are all heroes.And he is just the tiniest and dimmest star among the many dazzling stars.

Edward couldn't understand his father's thoughts, but he didn't dare to ignore the old drunk-like Duke in front of him.

He is humble.

Duke Hoborg had been looking at Fan Dong just now, and of course he didn't miss Edward's fiery gaze on Fan Dong.He no longer cares about outside affairs, but it doesn't mean he is blind, he still understands everything about the capital.This guy in front of him is not like a brave and upright lion, he is like a little wolf cub, or a white-eyed wolf.

Ambitious.

Duke Hoborg looked at Edward coldly, and said, "Don't think of Colin!"

A rage rose in Edward's chest.He suppressed the churning anger and replied, "I don't understand what you mean."

Duke Hoberg felt a little anxious when he thought of Fan Dong who looked disgusted after seeing him just now.He regretted it, regretted that he didn't dress neatly, didn't shave off his beard, and didn't smash the wine bottle before he came out. If Fan Dong didn't want to recognize himself as his uncle, how could he persuade Fan Dong to stay away from this little wolf cub?

He snorted, got on his horse and rushed back to Hoborg City.He wants to cut new clothes!He wants to shave!When he's done tidying up, he'll go to the capital to find his treasure, and tell him to tell this little wolf cub to get away!

Duke Hoborg was still a little uneasy after thinking about it, turned his head and said to Edward: "Raymond Edward, I will never allow you to approach our family Colin again!"

Edward clenched his fists.Where did this old bastard come from?Didn't it mean that he has ignored the outside affairs for a long time?

old bastard!

Edward cursed, and then thought of Fan Dong who rode back to the capital with Arthur.

That little bastard!

Edward took his subordinates back to the capital.

Old Wood knelt on the recovered plain and wept bitterly for a long time before he said gratefully to Qiu Fengbai and Shen Ming: "Thank you for bringing His Highness Colin here." He looked devout, "His Highness Colin must be the God of the Earth messenger!"

Qiu Fengbai was in a complicated mood.

He had heard countless words of thanks before, but this was the first time he heard it.Old Wood is not an extraordinary person, but he is a persistent person. No one can change the facts he believes. For example, he has been alone on the death plain where there is no grass these years, and he firmly believes that the plain will return to its original appearance.

Shen Ming looked at the plain covered with greenery overnight, and clenched his fist slightly.

He wanted to go faster, faster.

At least, Fan Dong's figure can't disappear before his eyes.

Qiu Fengbai also brought Shen Ming back to the capital.

Rather than relying on drugs to break through, what Shen Ming needs now is to sort out all kinds of thoughts in his heart.If the mind is restless, it is difficult to succeed in doing anything.

Just wait a little longer and let him stay with Colin Lane for a while longer.

Maybe a miracle will happen.

They all left, but the people on the plain did not disperse. As the sun rose, more and more people came to the outskirts of the plain, looking at the land that had just recovered in amazement.

The people on the plain hugged each other, crying and laughing, and in the end, Qi Qi shouted, "Long live the empire! Long live the empire! Long live His Highness Colin! Long live His Highness Colin!"

Who is His Royal Highness Colin?

The wind on the plain blows slowly around.

Who is it?Is it that naughty Colin Lane?Is it Colin Ryan who always wants his brother to clean up the mess?Is that—is that Colin Lane?

The name of Colin Lane was suddenly spread all over Duke Hoborg's fief. People were talking about the good and the bad, but the bad ones were so far away that no one saw them; , but they can see it.

This is a miracle brought by His Royal Highness Colin!

His Royal Highness Colin looks so much like Her Royal Highness the Queen!That gentle and kind woman is the dream lover of many people!His Royal Highness Colin must be as good as His Highness the Queen, those rumors are all slandering His Royal Highness Colin!Next time you hear someone say that, you must go up and slap them!

Duke Hoborg was shaving. He laughed out loud after hearing his subordinate's report, and scratched a bloodstain on his chin by mistake.He touched the wound painfully, the clear pain made him feel alive, and his laughter became more hearty and loud: "Yes, slap them! No, no, no, let them go after the slap!" Turn the other side of your face and slap me again!"

The subordinates looked at the face of Duke Hoborg who suddenly looked younger by many years, and were very happy in their hearts, and they echoed Duke Hoborg's words repeatedly.

Duke Hoborg asked someone to cut the best clothes and pick out the best gifts, and was going to the capital to find his precious nephew.He has always been so unreasonable, he would ignore anyone who couldn't catch his eye even if they came to him. If anyone caught his eye, he would like to pluck all the stars from the sky and send them there.

His other two nephews had never come to him before, but Duke Hoborg had them driven away without even thinking that they were his sister's sons.This time, if Duke Hoberg hadn't followed the drumbeat to meet Fan Dong and thought Fan Dong was the incarnation of his son and sister, he might have driven this nephew away!

However, now he has fallen in love with this nephew, and decided to love him as his own son.

Although Fan Dong does not need the title of Duke of Hoberg, he is willing to leave all the elite soldiers in his hands to Fan Dong.

But he could tell that the little wolf cub in Edward's family barely had his eyes glued to Fan Dong's body.That little wolf cub holds the power of the military, if Fan Dong doesn't have the capital to save his life, he will suffer...

Duke Hoberg has decided that he must regain his prestige and beat all those who covet his precious nephew to the ground.

Fan Dong didn't know that he would find such a thing by running to find Shen Ming.

He followed Arthur to the slums.

The more prosperous the place, the easier it is for a place like a slum to appear. It is precisely because the capital is prosperous enough that it attracts a group of people who are not willing to be poor forever to settle here.Even if you live the poorest life in the capital, you have to stay.

Because staying in the capital means that you can seize countless opportunities!

Fan Dong did not see the pain caused by poverty on the faces of the people in the slums, but what he saw was full of expectations for the future.This means that His Majesty's rule has given everyone confidence in the future.

His Majesty the King is a loving and wise monarch.

Fan Dong is proud of this father.

He straightened his back involuntarily, and followed Arthur into their house with big strides.To say this is a "home" is a bit shabby, because there is almost no other furniture except a bed in this house, it is empty and there is no sense of warmth.

It seems that Arthur should have married a gentle wife sooner.

Fan Dong muttered secretly, looking at the old man lying on the bed.The old man was very thin, so thin that only his bones remained. Fan Dong was always respectful to the old man, so he took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, I am Arthur's classmate, and I will come to see you with him."

Grandpa Arthur was a little surprised.He opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at the boy in front of him.He looked very small, not at all like Arthur's peers. He was neatly dressed but not formal, with a beautiful face but not frivolous. He could tell he was a nobleman at first glance, but he didn't have the arrogance of a nobleman.

He's a pretty sweet little guy.

Grandpa Arthur spoke very softly and could not use his strength: "Arthur, greet your classmates well..."

Listening to Grandpa Arthur's difficult voice, Fan Dong had a vague guess in his heart.He sat on the edge of the bed, raised his hand and pressed on Grandpa Arthur's wrist, as if he was just casually holding the other's hand, but in fact he was feeling for Grandpa Arthur's pulse.After coming here, the pulses recorded before are not of much use, but he has a few dissection experiences, and took the opportunity of treating the wounds of people with long teeth to go back and forth through the meridians in their bodies several times, It can be roughly judged from the changes in the pulse condition that there is something wrong with those parts.

Seeing that his grandfather was almost speechless, Arthur felt sad and didn't pay attention to Fan Dong's movements.

When Fan Dong asked about his grandfather's diet, he answered them one by one as if waking up from a dream.

Grandpa Arthur's appetite was normal, his complexion and lip color were also normal, and there was no sign of poisoning at all.

On the contrary, after taking the blood python's gallbladder, almost all the toxins accumulated in his body for many years have been excreted.

The only abnormality is that he is thin and weak.

His life is passing by little by little.

Fan Dong frowned.He asked Arthur: "Why do you think your grandpa has been poisoned?"

Arthur said: "When we came to the capital, we had to pass through a large swamp. When we passed a village near the swamp, many people were affected by the poisonous fog and died suddenly. I have seen those who died suddenly Human corpses are also getting thinner and thinner like Grandpa!" He had a painful expression on his face, "...Grandpa must have fallen ill because of inhaling the poisonous mist!"

wetlands?

Fan Dong said to Grandpa Arthur: "Do you often cough and feel nauseous?"

Grandpa Arthur has already noticed that Fan Dong is unusual.He replied earnestly: "Yes, I often feel this way, but I don't spit it out." His cultivation is not bad, if he hadn't suffered a sudden illness, he wouldn't be so vulnerable.He didn't want to talk about this little pain with Arthur, for fear that Arthur would be more distracted.

However, the classmate Arthur brought seemed to be here to treat him, so he couldn't hide it any longer.

Arthur's face turned green and pale after hearing his grandfather's words.

He didn't know at all, he just said that grandpa's diet was the same as normal people...

How could Fan Dong fail to see their grandpa and grandson's mood, he calmly questioned them one by one, and pressed Grandpa Arthur's lower abdomen and spleen with his hands.

Continuous fever and cough, enlarged spleen, abdominal swelling, and extreme emaciation.

How could this be poisoning.

Fan Dong sighed.Because of the emergence of pharmacists, the medical treatment of this era has taken a detour. The pharmacists can perfectly solve trauma and poisoning, and they know nothing about other diseases.Colds and coughs are okay, they are self-healing diseases, and they will be cured after a while. If they suffer from other diseases, the pharmacists can only shake their heads and express their helplessness.

Fan Dong said: "I'll make a medicine first and try it out. If it doesn't work, I might need an operation."

Arthur asked: "Isn't grandpa poisoned?"

Fan Dong paused, and patiently explained to Arthur: "It's not poisoning. How should I put it, it's like the poisonous glands we saw in the rookie competition. The poisonous glands parasitize the plants and rob the plants of all the nutrients they absorb. , the parasitized plants will slowly wither and die. Your grandfather’s situation is the same, there is something parasitic in his body, so although he can still eat and drink, his body is getting weaker and weaker. This disease is a bit fierce, if not Your grandpa has a good foundation, so I'm afraid he won't be able to endure it for so long..."

However, the limit is approaching.Fan Dong didn't say this, he could see Arthur's feelings for his grandfather, and he didn't want to make Arthur feel more guilty.

For some reason, Arthur heard Fan Dong's unhurried words, and suddenly thought of the "Plain of Death" where tender grass grew.

Even the plain of death can be "rescued", Fan Dong will definitely be able to save his grandfather!

Arthur said respectfully, "Please help me to dispense the medicine."

Fan Dong was taken aback, shook his head and said, "You don't need to use honorifics to me, it feels weird."

Arthur said seriously: "Yes, Your Highness."

Fan Dong was too lazy to say more.He was about to run out of medicines in his storage ring, thought for a while, and said to Arthur, "You can take a bath for your grandpa first, and I'll go find someone to get some medicine."

Arthur nodded.

As soon as Fan Dong left, Grandpa Arthur grabbed Arthur's wrist suddenly, and he seemed to regain his strength.His throat seemed to be blocked, but his fingers kept tightening.

He heard Arthur's name.The boy just now turned out to be the Highness Arthur mentioned!What kind of broad-mindedness must it be to be willing to come to this kind of dirty and dilapidated slum area to treat a seriously ill old man after Arthur has done such a thing!

The more this happened, the more he felt ashamed of what his grandson had done.

Arthur understood what his grandfather meant, squatted beside the bed and said, "Grandpa, I know what you're going to say. I've decided that I will become His Royal Highness Colin's knight in the future to repay his tolerance and kindness to us."

Grandpa Arthur exhausted all his strength to say a word: "Not enough! You have to swear to the God of the Earth that you will follow His Royal Highness Colin to the death no matter whether it is glory or disgrace, ups and downs in the future!"

Arthur obeyed.

This was what he had in mind.

Fan Dong also took Lei Li and others with him when he returned.As the knight commander beside Fan Dong, Lei Li immediately noticed Arthur, a young and outstanding warrior. Seeing the way Arthur looked at Fan Dong, he knew that Fan Dong might have another loyal knight in the future!

Lei Li calmly followed Fan Dong's instructions and put Grandpa Arthur on a stretcher and sent him to the manor for treatment.

Qiu Fengbai and Shen Ming have also returned to the manor.

When Fan Dong came back with Grandpa Arthur, Shen Ming immediately stepped forward to ask what was going on.

Fan Dong simply told about Grandpa Arthur's situation.Grandpa Arthur's condition was very similar to the schistosomiasis he had been exposed to before.Places like swamps are most likely to have things like parasites. Isn’t the poisonous mist in Arthur’s mouth a miasma?In the land of miasma, there are many such diseases. Many people mistakenly think that it is poisoning, but it is actually a parasite.

I don't know if the vitality of the parasites here is particularly tenacious. If they can't be killed with medicine, he can only perform an operation on Grandpa Arthur to get them out.

Shen Ming was dumbfounded.

Such an etiology never occurred to him.

Fan Dong said, "I'll try a dose of medicine first."

The alchemy technique here can extract the main components of the medicinal materials, which is more efficient than decocting medicines and can better grasp the properties of medicines.It's just that it's a bit embarrassing to kill or stun the parasite without harming the human body.

Fan Dong pulled Shen Ming to ponder together.

Shen Ming knew Ling Zhi like the back of his hand, and quickly helped Fan Dong pick out a batch of alternative medicinal materials.The two tried to match several new prescriptions, and finally let Qiu Fengbai check and pick out the best one.

Fan Dong refined the new formula and asked Arthur to feed the liquid medicine to his grandfather, along with the laxative medicine so that he could expel the parasites from the body.

Not long after Grandpa Arthur drank the medicine, a violent urge to defecate hit him.

Arthur nervously helped his grandfather to the bathroom.

This time, I went for most of the day.

When Grandpa Arthur came out of the toilet, his face was a little pale.Arthur asked him if he saw anything, but Grandpa Arthur kept his mouth shut and refused to say more.

It wasn't until seeing Fan Dong that Grandpa Arthur said gratefully: "Okay, I'm fine, thank you Your Highness!"

Fan Dong checked Grandpa Arthur's pulse, pressed a few times on Grandpa Arthur's abdomen, and then said: "It will take a while to recuperate, you should stay here in the manor first."

Grandpa Arthur said: "How can this be..."

Fan Dong said: "It is possible. Your disease is not unique, and there may be many people like you. If you can recover, this medicine may save more people."

Only then did Grandpa Arthur agree to stay.

Fan Dong called Shen Ming and Arthur: "Let's go, let's go to the palace to find my father!"

Edward rushed over after finishing his work at the military department, and that was all he heard.Looking at the two eyes-obscuring guys following behind Fan Dong, the veins on Edward's forehead twitched.

This little bastard is really attractive!

Edward said: "What is His Royal Highness Colin going to the palace to see His Majesty?"

Fan Dong looked at Edward warily.

Is this guy here to take credit?

Fan Dong hummed twice: "It has nothing to do with you!" He likes others to praise His Majesty the King's benevolence, but he doesn't like others to praise Edward.

Edward loves Fan Dong's angry appearance very much.He could see Fan Dong's defense against him, but he could even see Fan Dong's defenselessness against him. It was very contradictory, but the fact was like this——Fan Dong really wanted to hide it from him, so he wouldn't bring Arthur and the others to Come to the manor.Qiu Fengbai is from the military department, and he bought the manor from Wen Sen, so it is his place.

So, the little bastard still trusted him in his heart.

Edward couldn't help being a little distressed, Fan Dong kept the tacit understanding and trust from the beginning, but he forgot all about it, and set traps for Fan Dong more than once, pushing Fan Dong into danger.It was because he had hurt him so many times that his body was covered in bruises, so Fan Dong violated his heart and became wary of him.

Fan Dong's trust and dependence on him are no less than his admiration for Mrs. Dinah. Edward can't imagine that there will be a day when he will have doubts about Mrs. Dinah and be on guard at all times - just thinking of that possibility is already unacceptable to him. .

Every time he doubted his motives for approaching, Fan Dong felt like being stabbed by a knife, right?Always remind him that he is no longer someone he can trust and rely on, he doesn't like him, he hates him, he even wants to kill him——

Thinking of this, Edward's heart ached like a knife.He couldn't help but slow down his tone, and said in a gentle voice, "It just so happens that I'm going to find His Majesty too, let's go together."

But Fan Dong couldn't understand Edward's idea of ​​showing favor. After hearing the words "Let's go together", he immediately pulled Shen Ming and Arthur away, led them to turn over and jump on the winged horse, and ordered the winged horse to take off immediately: "Go! Don't let that guy catch up!"

Who wants to be with him!

Edward: "..."

The bloody little bastard!
