Soon, Padick took his son back from his wife's hands, carefully placed him on the straw mat, and then moved away from his position, looking at Xia Duo expectantly.
At this time, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, the afterglow had dissipated, and although the sky was not completely dark, it had already darkened.
Xia Duo first used the [Light Technique] to illuminate the room, then stepped forward to approach the straw mat, squatted down, and carefully checked the aura state of the little boy's body. When he first entered the door, he did not find any magical aura.
Now after careful inspection, there are indeed no traces of magic on the child. As for the blood curse that Padick asked the people at the temple to check, Shado did not find it either.
The curse does not come out of thin air. The curse is also a kind of magic. The corresponding traces can be detected. As for whether it can be lifted, it depends on each person's methods.
But now, there are no traces, as if some mysterious curse appeared out of thin air, making the child skinny, weak, and close to the edge of death.
Xia Duo frowned. He really didn't want to believe that an ordinary cleric in a temple would be better than him in the field of magic, but now it seemed that the only explanation was the so-called blood curse.
"Niya, come here and take a look. I have never seen anything like this before."
During Niya's examination, Shado asked Padick again, "You said before that your child suddenly behaved like this some time ago. When exactly did it happen? Who discovered it first? What was the situation at that time?"
"Three days ago, I came back from work at the dock and found Sean lying at the door. My mother-in-law was still outside helping others wash clothes at that time and didn't come back. I was the only one who saw it."
"Has this been the case for the past three days? Can the child speak, and has he said what happened?" Xia Duo asked again.
"This has always been the case. Sean was so weak that he couldn't speak at all."
"..."
"Then he hasn't eaten in the past three days?" Xia Duo looked at the skinny little boy Sean and suddenly wondered if he was so hungry.
"Eat, eat." Padick said quickly, "I feed him some bread batter every night. Sir, what do you mean -"
"Let's see first!" Xia Duo did not draw a conclusion directly, because even if he was hungry, how could he be hungry in the first place? Although Sean is young, he is still such an old man, so he will not know how to eat when he is hungry.
Something!
If that were the case, he would have starved to death long ago and would not be alive now.
Afterwards, Xia Duo asked for some more details.
Soon, Niya also checked. She stood up and glanced at Xia Duo. Xia Duo immediately understood, cast a soundproof barrier, and then asked: "Did you find anything?"
"Yeah." Niya nodded, looking a little weird, "I see why he looks like this hungry!"
"Did you also notice that Sean was normal during the day three days ago. You should have heard what Paddick just said. Sean even brought him water at noon. It's unlikely that he suddenly felt hungry at night.
Bar!"
"It is indeed impossible, but there are no traces of magic on his body. How could he be so weak?" Niya was also puzzled. She had never encountered such a situation.
"Let me try again!"
Sha Duo came to Sean again. Before, he had only inspected it from the outside, focusing mainly on traces of magic. He could also further examine the inside of Sean's body to see what was going on.
[Imaging] is a detection technique that Xia Duo has mastered very early on. It uses the principle of sound wave imaging to detect various conditions inside objects.
Xia Duo had used this spell very rarely, almost on his fingers, and had never practiced it. For a while, he couldn't even remember the relevant details of this spell.
However, after all, it is a spell created by himself. From technical principles, spell principles, and implementation to specific spells, Xia Duo is very clear about this series of research routes. Recalling this direction, he quickly regained control.
Got this spell.
——[Radiography]!
Xia Duo stretched out his right hand and put his palm down close to Sean's face, then downwards one by one, from the neck to the torso and then to the limbs, leaving no trace of any part of the body missing.
And since Xia Duo didn't know much about human tissue, pathological analysis and other medical knowledge, even with a spell like [Radiography], he could only make some superficial judgments.
But this is enough!
After finishing the examination, Xia Duo squeezed Sean's arm again, then pressed his belly, and finally stood up thoughtfully.
"Xia Duo, how are you? Did you find anything new?"
"have!"
Xia Duo considered his words and cast the sound barrier as usual, "I found that he seemed to be really hungry!"
"Where can you tell? Then three days ago it was normal during the day, but suddenly it happened at night. What's the explanation?"
"During the examination just now, I found that Sean's muscles are very tight. Although he looks extremely skinny, I guess he must be very strong. In addition, I found that his stomach is moving rapidly, but there is no food in it.
.Generally speaking, I surmise——"
Speaking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but slow down his tone, "I speculate that Sean probably awakened a bloodline related to strength and physique three days ago, which made him very hungry in a short time, and he didn't even wait for him to find food.
Yeah, I'm so hungry that I fainted!"
"Really?!" Niya showed a surprised expression. Of course, she didn't follow it with "I don't believe it." She knew that Xia Duo had awakened a bloodline related to elements, and she should know more about bloodlines.
"I'm not sure yet, but it's easy to be sure. Just feed him some meat."
It is a fact that meat can replenish physical strength better than bread batter, and after Chateau noticed that Sean's stomach was moving rapidly, he felt that he should be able to digest meat.
Of course, if Padick is asked to buy meat at this time, he may not be able to buy it, and the time to go back and forth is also an issue. Since Shado has taken someone else's spell book, he will naturally not be stingy with this bit of meat.
There is always food in his portable space and in his dimensional bag, including bread, steamed buns, fried flour, and various meats.
Taking out a piece of dried bacon, Xia Duo used the [Crushing Force Field] in the papermaking series of spells, mixed the fresh meat with water, and made it into a paste.
Then he asked Paddick to feed Sean.
He himself continued to make minced meat for Sean, and Sha Duo took out strips of bacon from the dimensional bag. Under Niya's surprised eyes, he calmly cast a spell.
"Xia Duo, do you carry so much food with you?" Niya asked in a low voice.
"Don't you bring it?" Xia Duo asked.
"..."
Niya didn't say anything. She did bring some food and put it in her dimensional bag, but she didn't bring so much meat with her like Xia Duo. This was too exaggerated.
