Chapter 41 The Unexpected Cassius

Hamelin sat on the wooden chair in the stone house, still feeling unhappy.

"Does this old woman... think she's here to give me charity again?"

"idiot!"

However, Rom and the others had been out for a while, and it was unclear what they were talking about outside.

Unfortunately, the stone house had no windows, so it was impossible to see what was happening outside.

Thinking of this, Hamelin couldn't help but stand up, using a broom as a cane, and slowly walk towards the door.

With a loud bang, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open.

Jack, with a mournful face, shouted:

"Master Hamelin! Something terrible has happened!"

"Rom...Rom is dying!"

Jack hadn't expected Hamelin to be standing right at the door, and the two almost bumped into each other.

Upon hearing this, Hamelin immediately grabbed Jack by the collar and hissed:

"What happened to Romú? He was perfectly fine just now!"

Jack pointed outside the yard, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face: "We actually went to the mine just now... and it turned out there was a second-tier cave spider hiding inside!"

To cover my escape, Rom was bitten hard by the demonic spider! He told me not to tell you, but now... the abyssal poison in his body is attacking his heart! He's dying!"

"What?!" Hamelin was thunderstruck upon hearing this, his mind going completely blank.

He scrambled out of the stone house, not even glancing at Cassius beside him.

"Rom!"

Hamelin was barefoot, his voice trembling.

He saw Romuz lying limply in Elena's arms, his face pale and his expression extremely painful, looking like he was on the verge of death.

"Cassius!"

Hamelin turned around and spoke to Cassius for the first time in ten years.

His withered fingers gripped Cassius's robes tightly, and he pleaded, tears streaming down his face:

"Save him!"

"If you use Healing Touch to save Rom... I'll never mention what happened back then again! I'll even kneel down and apologize to you, just save him!"

Cassius was taken aback by Hamerlin's humble appearance.

She was still thinking about how to persuade the stubborn old man.

She had just discussed it with Rom, and because Hamelin was too stubborn, they needed to put on a show to put pressure on him and make him obediently accept treatment.

She never expected that Hamelin would almost immediately abandon his years of hatred and dignity for this apprentice, and nearly kneel down before her in public.

Cassius looked at Hamerlin's faded, worn-out robe, his bare feet in the snow, and the simple stone house, and a sudden pang of sorrow welled up in his heart.

The once spirited genius of formations is now reduced to such a humble position on the border, struggling to become an apprentice.

She quickly stepped forward, took Hamerlin's arm, and said softly:

I promise you.

But Hamelin, I must treat you too.

"Save him!...Save him first, don't worry about me!" Hamelin stamped his feet anxiously, desperately pushing Cassius toward Romú.

"cough…"

At this moment, Rom, who was leaning against Elena, coughed weakly twice, clutched his chest, and said in a tragic tone:

"Teacher! Don't beg her..."

"My heart has been bitten by a demonic spider, and I won't live more than a few days. Since you'd rather die than accept their treatment, then let me, your student, die with you!"

After saying that, Luo Mu tilted his head to the side and comfortably rested his head on a soft spot.

"Don't be silly! Rom...you can't die!"

The old man completely broke down, tears welling up instantly. He grabbed Cassius's sleeve, looking like a helpless child.

"I'll do whatever you say! As long as you save Rom... I'll do anything! Beautiful Cassius, holy Archmage Cassius!"

Cassius, standing to the side, looked at the master and apprentice and suddenly felt both amused and saddened.

She never imagined that changing this stubborn old man who had been obstinate for over a decade would only require such a self-inflicted injury.

Cassius suppressed a laugh and quickly waved, signaling Jack and Elena to help the two of them into the stone house.

Since they were going to act, they had to see it through. Cassius instructed Elena to step aside and pretend to treat Rom.

She then personally helped Hamerlin to the grass bed and laid him down.

"Stop looking, Hamelin."

Don't you trust my abilities and those of my personally trained students?

Cassius looked at Hamerlin, who was still frequently turning his head to look at Rom, and spoke in a gentle but firm tone.

"Now, let me see your injuries."

Hamelin only breathed a long sigh of relief after he saw Elena raise the grimoire and begin to emanate holy light that enveloped Rom.

He turned his head, not looking into Cassius's eyes, his expression a mixture of emotions.

Finally, he shook his head somewhat awkwardly, closed his eyes, and adopted a submissive posture.

Cassius removed Hamelin's robes and undergarments, his expression very serious.

She was very worried when she learned that Hamelin had been poisoned by the Abyss Poison seven days ago.

As a light-elemental mage, she was well-versed in pathology and medicine, and was all too aware of the terrifying nature of the abyssal toxins.

This toxin can adhere to the heart vessels, and ordinary medicines cannot treat it. Once the poisoning lasts for more than three days, it is often too late to save the patient.

So as soon as she heard the news, she rushed over overnight.

However, when Cassius completely unbuckled the bubble, he was completely stunned.

Hamelin did indeed have a gruesome scar on his chest.

However, the wound had already healed, and the black abyss toxins only remained near the heart meridian, posing no threat to life.

You could even say... the injury is already more than half healed!

"This is impossible..."

Cassius was filled with astonishment.

In all her years of medical practice, she has treated countless mages and knights, and she has never seen anyone who could heal from the abyss poison through their own body without using the Holy Healing spell!

Even a Battle Mage, known for their physical strength, could never do that.

She reached out her fingers and gently stroked the pink, new flesh on Hamelin's chest.

The familiar healing pattern of the wound... and the lingering magical energy fluctuations...

These are all so familiar!

It's Holy Healing!

Cassius abruptly turned his head, looked at Elena not far away, and asked in a low voice:

"Elena, when did you treat Hamerlin?"

Elena, who was casting a spell with her head down, was somewhat bewildered by this sudden question.

"Huh? No, teacher..."

She looked up blankly. "This is the first time I've seen Master Hamelin in two years. How could I possibly have treated him?"

Upon hearing this, Cassius frowned.

If it's not Elena, then who could it be?

In this desolate border region spanning hundreds of miles, besides this master and disciple of the Light Element, where are there any other believers of Holy Light?

Could it be that a monk from the Holy See just happened to be passing by?

Cassius suppressed his curiosity for the time being.

Regardless of who was responsible, since there are still lingering traces of poison, she must complete her task.

She'll definitely ask her about it later.
